Musk says TSMC won't run Terafab AI chip complex

Rewrites with Musk comments, details Oct 7 (Reuters) - Tesla TSLA.O and SpaceX SPCX.O CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that his companies will build and run the Terafab AI chip complex, with TSMC 2330.TW possibly subleasing a part of it. Here are more details: Terafab is a planned Tesla-SpaceX project in Texas that aims to build "a gigantic chip fab" to make artificial intelligence chips. Replying to a post on X that said the most likely outcome was TSMC owning and running the fab, Musk wrote: "No, we will build and run the fab. Let there be ZERO doubt about that." "Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that," he added. Last week, Musk said that there had been discussions about potential cooperation with TSMC on the Terafab project, without giving further details. Earlier on Wednesday, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan told Bloomberg News that the US chipmaker, which is a partner in the project, will remain involved. Any involvement by TSMC could challenge Intel's role in Terafab, as Musk weighs partners for the chipmaking venture. TSMC and Intel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

BUZZ - Constellation Brands shares fall after lowering profit margin expectations

October 7 - Constellation Brands (STZ.N) shares fell nearly 5% in pre-market trading to $110.11. The Corona beer maker lowered its full-year operating margin forecast to 31%-32% from the previous 32%-33%. The company reported Q2 profit and sales on Tuesday that exceeded expectations, driven by strong demand for beers such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, which helped offset challenges in the alcohol sector amid weak consumption. JPMorgan stated that Q2 FY2027 financial results were largely in line with expectations; market focus may turn to management's outlook for H2 FY2027 beer business revenue and operating margins, and the implications for FY2028. The company will pay $75 million to acquire the vodka-based ready-to-drink (RTD) brand SpikedAde upon transaction completion, with up to a further $278 million over five years depending on brand performance and capital allocation priorities. “Although the brand and category are still nascent, the acquisition of SpikedAde could hold significant potential,” said JPMorgan. As of yesterday's close, the stock is down 16% year to date.
