- U.S. stocks did not trade for Memorial Day. Nasdaq shows May 25, 2026, as a full holiday on its calendar.
- Indigo Acquisition shares ended Friday at $10.21, with light trading.
- The latest quarterly filing from the SPAC lists $118.3 million in trust assets, with an April 2, 2027 deadline to close a deal.
Indigo Acquisition Corp. shares didn’t trade in Monday’s regular session since U.S. stock markets were closed for Memorial Day. The SPAC’s ordinary shares stayed close to trust value, wrapping up a quiet week. Nasdaq showed May 25 as a market holiday for Memorial Day.
Indigo shares ended Friday at $10.21, a penny under the Thursday close, with just 300 shares traded, according to EODData. The company’s market cap sat near $150.7 million, market data showed.
Indigo is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, so price action is about the cash in its trust account more than anything else. The company has no announced deal. For a blank-check firm like Indigo, trading usually ignores sales, margins or earnings and focuses on the trust account.
Indigo still hadn’t begun operations by March 31 and is continuing to look for a business combination, according to its May 11 quarterly filing. The company held $118.3 million in marketable securities in its trust account, plus $458,473 in cash outside the trust. It reported net income of $873,606 for the quarter, mostly coming from dividends earned on the trust assets.
Indigo now has until April 2, 2027, to wrap up a business combination, according to the filing. If that doesn’t happen and there’s no shareholder extension, the company said it would wind up, redeem the public shares and dissolve. Management also flagged the liquidity issue, saying there’s substantial doubt about Indigo’s ability to keep operating.
Indigo listed in July 2025, pricing 10 million units at $10 a piece. Later, its ordinary shares and rights started to trade separately under the tickers INAC and INACR. Each Indigo unit includes one ordinary share plus a right, and the company says each right lets the owner get one-tenth of an ordinary share when a business combination closes.
Stocks moved higher on Friday, with the Dow hitting another record close. The S&P 500 is up for the eighth week in a row, the longest winning streak since late 2023, according to Reuters. “The fundamental picture looks really solid,” James St. Aubin, chief investment officer at Ocean Park Asset Management, said to Reuters.

SPACs kept hitting the market. Boardroom Alpha said BurTech Acquisition Corp II and Peace Acquisition Corp both priced IPOs on May 22, together pulling in $140 million. That puts more peer pressure on Indigo in the hunt for investor cash and private deals.
SPACs have made up a bigger slice of U.S. IPO deal volume this year, according to FTI Consulting. The firm said SPACs represented 69% of the IPO market in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 58% in the prior quarter, as more issuers shifted to alternative listing structures with traditional IPO demand still selective.
Shorter trading this week as macro data picks up. The April personal consumption expenditures price index lands Thursday, Reuters reported. That’s the Fed’s main inflation gauge. Earnings are fading, but results from Salesforce, Costco and Best Buy are coming. “The macro environment is starting to take more center stage,” Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise, told Reuters.

The risk is pretty clear. If markets do better, SPAC sponsors might get targets and buyers, but higher yields, tougher inflation or a weak deal can keep money close to redemption value. For Indigo, the real risk isn’t one bad quarter. It’s not getting a deal, not getting an extension, or landing a deal investors reject.
