Elon Musk's Tesla Weighs $10.1 Billion Solar Plant, Chamath Palihapitiya Calls It a Bet on Nuclear: Here's Why
Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said Wednesday that Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) expansion into solar manufacturing was essentially a bet on nuclear power, as the automaker weighs a $10.1 billion solar cell plant in Texas. 'All in on Nuclear' "Tesla is going all in on nuclear," Palihapitiya said in a post on X. "Actually, it's going all in on solar, but they are the same thing, the sun is a nuclear reactor, just farther away." Palihapitiya has been a vocal supporter of Musk's ventures, previously floating the idea of merging Tesla and Space Exploration Technologies Corp.(NASDAQ:SPCX) int

Tesla wants to build a $10B solar factory in Texas
Tesla intends to build a massive solar panel factory 45 minutes southwest of Houston, according to documents filed with the state of Texas. The new factory, called Project Crystal Sun, could cost as much as $10.1 billion. Tesla has applied for tax incentives to partially offset the cost, saying that it is exploring other sites "across multiple U.S. states." The factory would create about 9,700 full-time jobs, Tesla said. Without incentives, Tesla's accountants estimated that the property tax liability for the project would be about $1.1 billion over 37 years. The project aims to break ground t

Tesla Just Keeps Crashing: One of Wall Street’s Most Outspoken Names Sees 80% Gains Anyway
Quick Read Dan Ives assigns Tesla a $600 target by valuing it as an AI-robotics company, despite a 38% Q2 EPS miss and negative free cash flow. GM raised full-year EPS guidance and holds 22 of 28 Buy ratings, while RIVN's R2 launch remains the key catalyst for its 17% upside. Tesla's forward P/E of 169 and 1.4% operating margin leave little room for error. The key signal to watch is whether the company can sustain even one quarter of margin stabilization.

TSLA holds over half the US EV market after GM and F retreated, though US EV sales dropped 20% when the federal tax credit ended. A 100% US tariff on Chinese EVs shields TSLA from cheaper rivals, while US oil at a 40-year low could push gas prices toward $5.

How SpaceX's AI Buildout Is Boosting Tesla Megapack Sales
SpaceX SPCX is becoming a major customer for Tesla's TSLA energy storage business, and that could be more important than it first appears. In the first half of 2026, SpaceX bought about $329 million worth of Tesla Megapacks (including $295 million in the second-quarter itself), compared with $506 million for all of 2025. The reason is tied to the growing power needs of artificial intelligence (AI). Why SPCX is Buying TSLA Megapacks? On Tesla's latest earnings call, Musk explained why SpaceX is purchasing so many Megapacks. SpaceX is using the batteries to deal with the huge and sudden changes

MONROE, Conn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdek, LLC, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure solutions, announced today that its contract under the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) Cooperative Purchasing Program for Electric Vehicle Charging, Power Stations, Equipment & Software (FSA26-PWR5.0) has been renewed for an additional two years, extending Verdek's status as an awarded vendor through June 30, 2028. The renewal arrives with major news for Florida's public agencies: the Tesla Supercharger (V4) is now available under FSA26-PWR5.0 for the first time, giving sheriffs' offices, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other eligible purchasers a compliant, pre-competed path to Tesla's DC fast-charging platform through Verdek — without requiring a separate RFP. Tesla Supercharger Now on Contract The addition of the Tesla V4 Supercharger is one of the most significant updates to the FSA26-PWR5.0 award since it was first issued. Tesla's Supercharger network is among the most widely used and reliable DC fast-charging platforms in North America, and its inclusion gives Florida agencies a new high-power charging option as electric fleets across the state continue to grow. A Wider Charger Lineup from Verdek Beyond Tesla, the renewed contract carries a substantially expanded product lineup — 22 awarded items spanning 9 manufacturers across four equipment categories: Level 2 Chargers — Autel MaxiCharger and ChargePoint CT4000 / CP6000 series DC Fast Charging — ABB, Autel MaxiCharger DC, ChargePoint Express Plus, Samsung, Tesla, and Tritium Portable / Mobile Charging & Power Stations — Charge Rigs FLEXX and Lincoln Electric Velion Mobile Software & Equipment — ampUp EVCloud charger management software This breadth gives Florida purchasers the flexibility to standardize on a single vendor while choosing the hardware that best fits each site — from single-port workplace charging to high-power DC fast-charging hubs. "Being able to renew this contract — and expand it to include Tesla — is a significant milestone for Verdek and for the agencies we serve across Florida," said Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek. "Public safety agencies, municipalities, and school districts are all under pressure to modernize their fleets, and this renewal gives them a wider set of proven charging technologies to choose from, all through one streamlined, pre-competed contract." "We are pleased to welcome Verdek as an awarded vendor on this contract," said Megan Taber, Director of the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program. "Through our competitive solicitation process, we strive to provide public agencies with high-quality procurement solutions that promote competition, value, and choice." Story Continues Simplifying Procurement for Florida's Public Sector The Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program is widely used by public entities throughout Florida as a trusted procurement resource. By leveraging competitively awarded contracts, participating agencies can reduce administrative burden, shorten project timelines, and gain access to qualified vendors offering vetted products and services. With this renewed and expanded contract, Verdek is positioned to help agencies implement charging infrastructure for: Fleet electrification initiatives Public charging programs Workplace charging Transit depots School bus charging Municipal vehicle fleets Emergency and public safety fleets Learn detail about Verdek's product line-up for the contract: For more information about Verdek's FSA26-PWR5.0 contract, including the full list of available chargers, -visit verdek.com/floridasheriffs-contract or contact Verdek's FSA / National Accounts Mgr Gene Irwin at girwin@verdek.com or (480) 857-0369.

A SpaceX-Tesla Deal Could Unlock Musk's $824 Billion Payday
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Tesla Inc. (TSLA, Financials), the electric vehicle maker, could face an unusual consequence if speculation about a combination with SpaceX ever turns into a real deal. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 1 Warning Sign with SPCX. Is SPCX fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. A takeover by SpaceX could effectively remove some of the operating milestones Elon Musk must hit before collecting the largest portions of his Tesla compensation package, according to a report cited by Seeking Alpha. Under the current plan, Tesla must reach a series of valuation targets while also hitting ambitious goals for vehicles, robots and robotaxis. A change of control could alter that equation. The operating milestones could effectively be treated as achieved, leaving Tesla's valuation at the time of a transaction as the main factor determining Musk's award. At the highest threshold, the maximum package would currently be worth about $824 billion. That creates an unusual tension. Musk controls roughly 86% of SpaceX's voting power, but Tesla shareholders would still need to approve any takeover. For investors, the bigger question is whether a deal designed to combine Musk's companies could also reshape the economics of his compensation in the process. View Comments

Tesla and SpaceX Just Committed $16.8 Billion to a Texas Chip Plant.
Legendary Tech Investor explains the chip shortage behind the project, and why he believes it could reshape the AI era Baltimore, MD, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- James Altucher says the most important technology story of the year just unfolded in a quiet Texas county. On August 6, Reuters reported that SpaceX and Tesla will build a colossal new chip plant, called Terafab, in Grimes County, Texas. In a new presentation, the former hedge fund manager explains why he believes this single announcement points to one of the biggest shifts in the AI era, and why the chips behind it may matter more than most people realize. A Shortage So Large It's Hard to Believe Altucher's presentation centers on a number that sounds almost impossible. In his words, "Elon Musk says he needs 50 times more computer chips than the market can currently give him." Not 50 percent more. Fifty times more than the entire world produces in a year. It's the kind of figure that invites disbelief, and Altucher knows it. A year ago, a claim like that might have sounded like exaggeration. Now Musk's own companies are describing the same gap, and putting billions behind closing it. There are already reports that Terafab is designed to produce roughly double the entire current U.S. chip output on its own, a scale that would have seemed fantastical from a company that has never built a chip fab before. Altucher calls these chips "the bedrock of the AI revolution." In his telling, they are the hidden foundation beneath everything the technology promises, the data centers, the robots, the self-driving systems. Strip them away, and the entire AI story grinds to a halt. That, he argues, is why a shortage this severe is worth paying close attention to. A Factory Unlike Anything Ever Built The scale is difficult to picture. Musk called it "the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far," with more than 100 million square feet planned under a single roof. That isn't a factory in the ordinary sense. It's closer to a small industrial city built around one purpose. The idea is to bring the entire process together in one place, chip design, fabrication, memory, packaging, and testing, without shipping anything around the globe. According to one source, the plan splits the work: Tesla runs a smaller research fab while SpaceX handles high-volume manufacturing, using Intel's advanced production technology. It's an all-under-one-roof approach the traditional chip industry has never attempted at this size. Story Continues Both companies now say plainly that they will need far more chips than the world can currently make, which is the exact shortage at the heart of Altucher's presentation. When the companies themselves start echoing the argument, he suggests, it's no longer a fringe prediction. It's becoming the industry's working assumption. The Part He Finds Most Interesting What draws Altucher's attention isn't the giant names everyone already knows. It's a much smaller company where he describes it as one of "Elon's most trusted suppliers," a company he says Musk has quietly relied on for years. His reasoning is straightforward: a smaller supplier tied to a project of this magnitude has far more room to grow than a company already worth trillions. Why It Matters Now The investment is already underway, with $16.8 billion committed to the first phase of Terafab. As construction moves forward, the project represents one of the largest commitments ever made to expanding America's AI infrastructure. For Altucher, that's what makes this story so important. While most people are focused on today's AI headlines, the real foundation of tomorrow's AI economy is being built right now. Understanding that shift early is exactly why he believes this project deserves attention. About the Presentation In his new presentation, James Altucher explains why he believes Elon Musk needs far more chips than the market can supply, why that shortage points to one overlooked company, and wha

Tesla Burns Through Funds Allocated for Gavin Newsom’s EV Rebate Within Days—California Governor Hails Clean Energy Bet
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) MyFirstEV program promises a $3,500 instant discount on new EVs, as well as a $1,750 discount on used EVs, for first-time buyers in California. Now, Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. has confirmed on its website that it has run out of allocated funds in the program. Tesla Ran Out Of Funds in Four Days In a post on X, influencer Sawyer Merritt on Saturday quoted a post he made earlier, which shared that the EV giant had announced on Friday that only 30% of funds were left in the rebate program.

Tesla had earlier confirmed that the EV giant will be participating in the program and that its eligible Model Y and Model 3 units would be sold to prospective buyers who placed their order "on or after August 3, 2026″ and take delivery while funds were still available. Tesla's competitors like Rivian Technologies Inc., as well as Lucid Group Inc. had also said they would be participating in the program. Gavin Newsom on California's Clean Energy Push In a post on X, the California Governor's Press Office handle shared a clip of Newsom at the MyFirstEV program event on Saturday.

Michael Burry Has a Stark Warning for Investors Betting on Today's Market
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Michael Burry (Trades, Portfolio) renewed his criticism of current U.S. market valuations over the weekend, arguing that investors are placing too little weight on price and fundamentals. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with TSLA. Is TSLA fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Burry, known for his bearish market calls, pointed to several technology and industrial names among his concerns. His holdings or bearish positions have included Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). His comments followed a sharp move in Palantir, which gained nearly 37% during the week after the company delivered better-than-expected second-quarter 2026 results. Burry has previously questioned whether rising valuations can be supported by underlying business performance. Burry compared the current environment with the period before the dot-com downturn, when investors largely ignored valuation concerns. He argued that markets eventually returned to a point where price mattered, leaving some investors exposed when sentiment reversed. Burry also referenced the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management and the subsequent technology selloff as examples of periods when market prices eventually reflected underlying risks. His latest remarks suggest he expects valuation concerns to become more important if market conditions change. View Comments

Elon Musk Says AI Agents Will Dwarf Human Internet Traffic, But Michael Burry Asks, ‘Who Will Pay’ for AI Agents to Socialize?
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

KLA (KLAC) Is Up 5.5% After Strong Earnings, AI-Driven Outlook And Dividend Hike - What's Changed
KLA Corporation recently declared a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.23 per share, payable on September 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2026, alongside reporting higher quarterly and full-year revenue and earnings through June 30, 2026, and issuing guidance for the September 2026 quarter. These results and guidance arrive as semiconductor equipment demand is being reinforced by large AI chip manufacturing projects like Tesla and SpaceX's Terafab complex and by industry analysts' more optimistic wafer fab equipment spending forecasts. With KLA's latest earnings guidance pointing to higher expected revenue and profitability, we'll examine how this shapes its AI-driven investment narrative. Uncover the next big thing with 20 elite penny stocks that balance risk and reward. KLA Investment Narrative Recap To own KLA, you need to believe that AI, high bandwidth memory, and advanced packaging will keep driving demand for process control tools, even as China headwinds, tariff uncertainty, and more volatile order patterns weigh on visibility. The latest earnings beat and stronger September-quarter guidance support the near term AI equipment demand catalyst, while the biggest current risk remains concentrated exposure to leading edge customers whose capex plans could quickly shift. The most relevant update here is KLA's guidance for the September 2026 quarter, calling for about US$4.0 billion in revenue and a GAAP gross margin near 61.6%. This sits directly in the slipstream of AI led wafer fab equipment spending and high profile projects like Terafab, and it sharpens the focus on whether KLA can sustain high profitability as competition intensifies and China, tariff, and export control risks continue to build. Yet beneath the optimism, investors should be aware that worsening tariffs and export controls could still... Read the full narrative on KLA (it's free!)

Tesla needs Robotaxi flywheel proof to boost investor conviction: Morgan Stanley
Investing.com -- Morgan Stanley told clients in a note on Tuesday that Tesla will need clearer evidence that its Robotaxi effort is scaling to strengthen investor conviction, following feedback from conversations after the company's second-quarter earnings. Analyst Andrew Percoco said investors remain constructive on Tesla's "Physical AI" opportunity, supported by stronger adoption of its Full Self-Driving software, but stronger conviction "will require clearer evidence that Robotaxi is scaling and more tangible Optimus proof points to support the ROI on elevated capex." The analyst added that the quarter did not materially alter his long-term thesis that Tesla is positioned to lead in Physical AI. However, weaker gross margins, higher research and development spending and extended free cash flow burn have "sharpened our (and investors') focus on measurable progress across Robotaxi and Optimus." Morgan Stanley noted that the most constructive feedback centered on FSD adoption, noting a 55% attach rate on North America deliveries, well above its prior 25% to 30% expectation. Investors are said to have viewed the Robotaxi disclosures as helpful "on the margin," but remain focused on whether Tesla can build density within existing cities while maintaining safety and improving utilization. On Optimus, the market "is still looking for evidence beyond commentary around SOP." Greater conviction in the stock, Percoco said, "will depend on evidence that the Robotaxi flywheel is working," with more vehicles on the road, higher city-level density, rising weekly unsupervised miles and improving unit economics. He called Robotaxi "the nearer-term validation point" for Tesla's broader Physical AI strategy.

SpaceX and Tesla choose Texas for massive AI chip plant billed as world's largest building
Photo Credit: Getty Images Texas could become home to an enormous new semiconductor hub if SpaceX and Tesla follow through on plans for a proposed site outside Houston, a project the companies say would grow into the world's largest building by footprint. What happened? According to Fox Business, SpaceX says it wants to build Terafab Texas in Grimes, Texas, as an enormous semiconductor facility. The project, which SpaceX is pursuing with Tesla, is expected to exceed 100 million square feet. The outlet noted that the facility's footprint would be well beyond the Pentagon's roughly 6.6 million square feet and China's New Century Global Center at 18.9 million square feet. The proposed complex, Terafab Texas, is planned for Grimes, Texas, and is intended to produce advanced logic and memory chips. With demand for AI hardware continuing to climb, a facility on that scale would significantly increase U.S. semiconductor output. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, wrote on X, as quoted by Fox Business: "Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far. And it will be stunningly beautiful." SpaceX said in a press release, "This facility will house the manufacturing, packaging and testing of advanced logic and memory devices." It added that the chips are being designed for edge computing and inference, with Fox Business saying potential uses include Tesla's Optimus robots, autonomous Cybercabs, and SpaceX data centers. For the first phase, SpaceX projects a cost of about $16.8 billion and employment of more than 3,000 people. However, according to Fox Business, a filing in May set the initial investment at $55 billion and said it could eventually increase to $119 billion. Why does it matter? Fox Business reported that SpaceX believes combined demand from it and Tesla will exceed the world's available chip supply. In the company's words, "this looming gulf between supply and demand is at the core of Terafab's necessity." Semiconductor availability influences prices and production across the economy, from cars and consumer electronics to automation. A U.S. plant of this size could strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce reliance on overseas chip makers, and add thousands of jobs in Texas. The proposal also highlights how closely AI growth is tied to the power system. AI can help utilities predict demand, improve battery storage, and better connect solar and wind energy to the grid. But AI workloads and chip fabrication also require large amounts of electricity and water, which can pressure local resources, raise costs, and introduce new security and societal risks if expansion outpaces planning. Story Continues What's being done? Instead of depending entirely on external suppliers, SpaceX and Tesla say they are trying to create more chip-making capacity on their own. They say Terafab will make, package, and test chips at large scale for use both on Earth and in space. "The Terafab is bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to America, creating thousands of high-paying jobs in the Lone Star State and enabling us to produce AI chips at scale for use on Earth and in space," Musk said.

In Texas, Elon Musk's empire could soon add a $10 billion Tesla solar plant
Photo Credit: Getty Images According to state records filed in Texas, Tesla may be considering another major expansion in the state, this time focused on manufacturing solar cells and further expanding CEO Elon Musk's growing manufacturing footprint there. What's happening? The Houston Chronicle reported that recent school district property tax abatements filed in August that relate to the project show Tesla is considering a $10.1 billion facility in Fort Bend County set to be completed by 2029. The application outlines that the investment would create 1,150 construction jobs over a three-year period, the outlet reported. Tesla also said it is considering another possible site and wrote that tax incentives through Texas' Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation program "would help to establish the Fort Bend County site as economically competitive in relation to the other site." If it moves forward, the plant would become the second massive manufacturing proposal linked to Musk's companies in the Houston region. The Houston Chronicle reported that SpaceX and Tesla have also outlined a $16.8 billion semiconductor facility in Grimes County that is expected to create 3,000 jobs. The prospect also reflects a wider economic pattern in the region. Citing Greater Houston Partnership figures, the Houston Chronicle said advanced manufacturing supported nearly 240,000 jobs in the Houston area in 2025, representing about 7% of the workforce and nearly 17% of regional GDP. Why does it matter? The potential project in Fort Bend County could bolster U.S. solar manufacturing at a time when energy prices and supply-chain reliability remain important concerns for both families and businesses. Over time, more domestic production could improve access to solar equipment and other clean energy products as consumers look for ways to cut utility costs and limit exposure to volatile fuel markets. A project of this size could also support related work in construction, logistics, and local services. The proposed facility also arrives as Tesla seeks additional avenues for growth beyond car sales. As cleaner electricity and cleaner transportation become more connected, expanded solar manufacturing could eventually contribute to lower-cost charging, more choices for home energy, and more opportunities to reduce the cost of owning a vehicle. What's being done? Tesla is pursuing a local tax-abatement package while it evaluates whether Fort Bend County can beat out at least one rival location. Those kinds of incentives are meant to attract projects that promise major investment and job creation. Story Continues The proposal also matches a broader economic-development focus in the Houston area, where business leaders have continued to highlight advanced manufacturing as a major opportunity. A solar cell facility would support that goal by expanding Houston's position in energy technology, not only conventional energy production. Tesla said, as the Houston Chronicle reported, the stakes are high for Texas. "Should Tesla make the decision to develop the proposed project in another state, Texas would miss the opportunity to attract billions of dollars in investment, help create thousands of full-time jobs for its residents, and become a hub for domestic solar cell manufacturing in the U.S." Get TCD's free newsletters for easy tips, smart advice, and a chance to earn $5,000 toward home upgrades.

Larry Fink says Americans’ retirement savings need to fund $10 trillion AI infrastructure demands. Protect your wealth
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Tech giants are expected to spend trillions of dollars on AI infrastructure in the coming years as they race to build the data centers, chips and energy capacity needed to support artificial intelligence. McKinsey previously estimated that AI-related data center infrastructure could require up to $7 trillion in investment by 2030 (1). That's more than the size of Germany and Spain's GDP combined, per World Bank data (2). Must Read Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 — 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one JPMorgan still sees gold hitting $5,000/oz by Q4 — and savvy investors are protecting their wealth with a tax-advantaged Gold IRA. Learn more with a free guide from Priority Gold The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028 — and experts say most people won't act in time. What to do before the window closes The question is: Where will all that money come from? BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) CEO Larry Fink believes ordinary Americans could help provide some of that capital — not by writing checks themselves, but through the retirement accounts and investments that own stakes in the companies leading the AI race. "If we can get more and more Americans to think about growing with the United States, we will have far [more] than enough money to invest in this infrastructure," Fink said earlier this year at Texas State Technical College in Waco alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott (3). At the time, Fink estimated the nationwide buildout of data centers and energy infrastructure could total $10 trillion over the next 10 years. Since then, the AI arms race has only picked up speed. Tech giants are spending tens of billions of dollars to build the data centers, buy the chips and secure the electricity needed to power the next generation of AI. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Meta (NASDAQ: META) are among the companies leading that charge — and their massive AI investments are one reason so many investors' portfolios are increasingly tied to the success of this technology. Here's how some of your retirement funds are already exposed to this colossal spending spree on a technology that could reshape the way millions of people work. Ordinary Americans are exposed to the AI boom Your 401(k) plan is likely exposed to the AI boom, even if you're not aware of it. Story Continues That's because a growing number of workers and savers have turned to passively investing in index funds in recent years, even as tech giants have become a larger part of these indexes. As of April 2026, Americans collectively had $20.82 trillion invested in index mutual funds and ETFs, according to the Investment Company Institute (4). But there's a catch: Many of these supposedly diversified funds have become increasingly concentrated in a handful of mega-cap technology companies. At the end of 2025, 41% of the S&P 500's market cap was concentrated in just the top 10 stocks, including familiar names like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), according to RBC Wealth Management (5). These tech giants are leading the data center and utility spending spree. "America is now one big bet on AI," Ruchir Sharma wrote in the Financial Times (6). "AI better deliver for the U.S., or its economy and markets will lose the one leg they are now standing on." As one of the largest index fund providers (7) in the country, BlackRock has a front-row seat to this concentrated bet on AI. This is why Larry Fink's comments are worth your attention. If the thought of your retirement savings being increasingly tied to the success of this one industry makes you uneasy, there are ways to protect yourself.

Byrna, Lucid, Park-Ohio, JELD-WEN, and Tesla Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
Byrna, Lucid, Park-Ohio, JELD-WEN, and Tesla Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the July jobs report showed an unexpected loss of 23,000 jobs, signaling a cooling labor market. Economists had forecast a gain of around 80,000 nonfarm payrolls. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. This weaker-than-expected data led investors to bet on the possibility of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The logic, often described as "bad news is good news" for the market, suggests that a slowing economy could deter the central bank from further rate hikes, and potentially encourage cuts to stimulate growth. This outlook generally makes borrowing cheaper for companies and increases the relative attractiveness of stocks. Lower rates are particularly beneficial for growth companies because they reduce the discount rate applied to future earnings, boosting the present value of cash flows that extend further out. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Law Enforcement Suppliers company Byrna(NASDAQ:BYRN) jumped 3.9%.Is now the time to buy Byrna? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

Zooming In On JELD-WEN (JELD) JELD-WEN's shares are extremely volatile and have had 79 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock gained 18% on the news that the company reported second-quarter results that beat analyst estimates and raised its full-year profit forecast. The company announced revenue of $817.8 million, which was flat year-over-year but surpassed expectations of $792.6 million. More impressively, adjusted EBITDA of $42.3 million significantly beat Wall Street's estimates of $29.4 million. The adjusted loss per share of $0.11 also came in better than the anticipated loss of $0.14. Looking ahead, JELD-WEN lifted its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance, now forecasting a range of $120 million to $150 million, signaling management's increased confidence for the remainder of the year. Story Continues JELD-WEN is down 23.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.90 per share, it is trading 72% below its 52-week high of $6.76 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of JELD-WEN's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $68.83. ALSO WORTH WATCHING: Nvidia's Quiet Partner. Nvidia's chips cost a hundred grand. The connectors that make them work cost even more. One company makes them all. Every AI server needs specialized infrastructure the chip companies don't make. High-speed cables. Power connectors.

Tesla Just Found Another Way to Grow Without Selling a Car
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Elon Musk wants Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ) to become an autonomous-driving powerhouse, , but the company's Robotaxi service covered roughly 700,000 paid miles in the second quarter. That's down about 36% from approximately 1.1 million miles in the first quarter, according to Tesla's reported figures. Still, the service expanded across more U.S. cities, accumulating driving data specific to its purpose-built Cybercab so it can roll out more vehicles on the road. That makes the latest growth in Tesla's broader software ecosystem particularly interesting. Don't Miss: A single bad hire can set a startup back years. Here are the 5 hires founders most often misjudge — and why Still Learning the Market? These 50 Must-Know Terms Can Help You Catch Up Fast Tesla's Robotaxi Future Is Taking Time Robotaxi is supposed to be one of Tesla's biggest long-term growth engines. But the second quarter mileage decline shows why investors may have to wait before autonomous rides become a major source of revenue. The company says its Robotaxi service has expanded to additional metropolitan areas, while its purpose-built Cybercab is moving toward production. But scaling an autonomous fleet involves collecting enough real-world driving data, proving safety, and navigating regulatory requirements. In the meantime, Tesla already has something Robotaxi doesn't: millions of existing customers. The Tesla App Is Becoming More Important Tesla's mobile app reached 10.8 million monthly active users in July, according to Similarweb data, up 36.8% from a year earlier and 16.5% from June. Trending: Avoid the #1 Investing Mistake: How Your 'Safe' Holdings Could Be Costing You Big Time The app is also becoming more tightly connected to Tesla's software ecosystem. Recent updates added self-driving statistics, more vehicle controls and the ability to use Tesla's app for additional functions. Tesla has also expanded xAI's Grok assistant inside its vehicles, allowing drivers to control functions such as climate and music through voice commands. That creates an important distinction: Tesla doesn't necessarily need to sell another vehicle to increase the value of the vehicles it has already sold. Tesla's FSD Business Provides Clearer Example Tesla ended the second quarter with 1.48 million active full self-driving (FSD) customers, up 56% from a year earlier. More than 55% of new Tesla deliveries in North America included FSD, showing that the company is increasingly attaching software revenue to its vehicles. Story Continues Services and other revenue also reached $4.58 billion in the second quarter, up about 50% year over year, with record gross profit and gross margin. See Also: Skip the Regrets: The Essential Retirement Tips Experts Wish Everyone Knew Earlier. The bigger opportunity, then, isn't simply Tesla's ability to sell more cars. It's the ability to keep generating revenue from the cars already on the road through software, subscriptions and other services. Robotaxi could eventually become the much larger prize Musk has promised. But while that business works through its growing pains, Tesla is finding another way to grow: make the existing Tesla fleet worth more. For investors, that may be just as important to watch as the next Robotaxi mile. Image via Shutterstock Read Next: Think you're saving enough for your kids?

Tesla Autopilot under scrutiny after crash involving 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan
Yahoo Finance Senior Autos Reporter Pras Subramanian joins Josh Lipton on Market Domination Overtime to discuss the Tesla (TSLA) Autopilot incident that may have played a role in a crash involving San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and what it could mean for the carmaker going forward. Video Transcript 00:00 Pras Subramanian Kyle Shanahan, 49ers coach, one of the top coaches in the league, involved in a pretty serious car accident. This is a big deal for for the NFL, the season, you know, 00:09 Pras Subramanian training season is is here right now. Uh, so he had injuries like broken bones, uh, 40 stitches in his face, possibly lost almost lost an eye. It was really serious stuff. 00:19 Pras Subramanian But then we find out over the weekend that it's some more new details were were were revealed. So, you know, at the time before that Shanahan said he had gotten accident, he dropped his phone and looked for it and then he got into got into an accident. 00:27 Pras Subramanian The car swerved into a another lane. But then he said that 00:30 Pras Subramanian he actually, you know, he is a Tesla owner for many years, and he said that he may have had autopilot engaged when the car crossed the line. So here's a direct quote from him from a press conference he gave over the weekend. He said, 00:41 Pras Subramanian I've had autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it and you know, who knows what happens when I turned around? Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off. That's something I don't know yet. But regardless that that's, sorry, but regardless, that's it is always your fault 00:54 Pras Subramanian whether you're in autopilot or not, you can't take your eyes off the road. So, he seemingly admitted that autopilot was engaged during the trip, but he doesn't know what happened in between the time that he dropped his phone and turned around and then the car swerved and hit a car. 01:04 Pras Subramanian So, that's really interesting because of the fact that, you know, was it on or not. So, he doesn't know necessarily. He knows it's on before, he doesn't know what happened during the accident. 01:12 Pras Subramanian Tesla potentially could add add in there some some data if if they look it up, but 01:17 Pras Subramanian you know, this happens a lot. Um so they're not going to be looking at every instance of that, you know. 01:21 Speaker B Is is Tesla's data though, is that the only way to really determine whether autopilot was indeed engaged? 01:27 Pras Subramanian I believe so because I don't think I don't think that Coach Shanahan has the ability to see in his car's data logs whether that was on, and he doesn't know yet either. 01:36 Pras Subramanian Maybe the car also was damaged beyond uh the ability to kind of re reopen things. But Tesla will have this information being streamed back to their to their servers and they they should be able to tell what happened at at the moment that the car actually uh hit 01:47 Pras Subramanian got was engaged in the accident. You can also see whether he pushed the accelerator. You can see different things, whether he disengaged it in any fashion. 01:53 Speaker B Why why bigger picture, why does all this matter to Tesla? 01:56 Pras Subramanian You know, this is part of like the, you know, we talk about Tesla's valuation as beyond a car company. Um and it's more about software services, AI. and a big part of that, the AI services stuff is a physical or embodied AI and that means robo-taxis 02:07 Pras Subramanian and that means uh FSD, right? So Wall Street very bullish on these two businesses to the point that, you know, uh Deutsche Bank had a recent note out talking about how they see um FSD's 02:19 Pras Subramanian enterprise value by 2030 being $225 billion, okay, not nothing, but they see the robo-taxi business at 1.125 trillion 02:28 Pras Subramanian by 2030. They see these things as big business for Tesla way bigger than the regular car business, right? Way

Elon Musk Says SpaceX Will Consume Three Times More Terafab AI Compute Than Tesla
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. CEO Elon Musk says that the new Terafab semiconductor manufacturing facility in Grimes County, Texas, will serve both the Optimus robot and SpaceX's "AI spacecraft". Elon Musk's Approximate Guesses On Thursday, the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley handle on X shared a promotional video of the Terafab facility, saying that the site will "produce over 1 terawatt of AI compute capacity per year" and that it would be a crucial element in Tesla's future vision.

Everything’s bigger in Texas: Musk’s planned $16.8 billion chip factory is five times bigger than the world’s current largest building
Elon Musk is betting that the next phase of his sprawling technology empire will require a building on a scale that has never existed before. SpaceX and Tesla are building Terafab, a 100-million-square-foot semiconductor manufacturing facility in Grimes County, Texas, more than five times the size of the world's largest building. "Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far. And it will be stunningly beautiful," Musk wrote on X. With about 18.9 million square feet of floor space, the New Century Global Center in Chengdu, China, currently holds the record for the world's largest building. But Terafab is expected to exceed that quickly: "The first phase of the Terafab project represents a capital investment of more than $16.8 billion and will create 3,000 new jobs," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote in a press release. The accompanying vision is even more ambitious than the building itself. The Terafab website describes the project as a vertically integrated chip factory that will combine logic, memory, and advanced packaging under one roof. Both SpaceX and Tesla will benefit from the facility, which is designed to produce more than 1 terawatt of compute annually. "We're now embarking on the most epic chip-building effort—combining logic, memory, and advanced packaging all under one roof," said Musk in a press release. The project seeks to "close the gap" between the chip production necessary for today and the demand for future production when humanity, according to Musk, eventually embarks on space travel. "Terafab is bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to America, creating thousands of high-paying jobs," he continued, "and enabling us to produce AI chips at scale for use on Earth and in space." Building a future—vertically Terafab is less of a conventional semiconductor factory rather than an attempt by Musk to build an enormous piece of his own technology supply chain. Both companies expect their combined demand for computing power to eventually exceed 1 terawatt. Terafab will bring chip manufacturing, packaging, and testing into one singular operation. The project aspires to launch a galactic civilization by harnessing "all of the energy on a planet," echoing Musk's sci-fi dreams. Terafab's website ties the factory to Musk's longer-term vision of AI infrastructure. According to the site, the project is intended to produce AI chips at scale, supporting a vision that includes as many as 1 million Tesla Optimus robots, 10 million tons of mass launched into orbit annually, and more than 1 terawatt of solar power. Story Continues SpaceX went public in June, raising $75 billion by selling 555.56 million shares at $135 apiece. While the company had an initial valuation of about $1.77 trillion at the time, the public markets have already forced investors to confront the costs behind Musk's ambitions. SpaceX reported a $541 million loss in its first quarterly earnings report as a public company, despite generating $7.8 billion in revenue. The $16.8 billion announced for Terafab is only the initial investment. Musk hopes to use taxpayer dollars to offset some of the costs associated with building the largest single property in the world. The project has filed eight tax incentive applications with the two local school districts, asking to freeze school maintenance and operations property taxes at roughly 48% of appraised value for 10 years per phase. Terafab is asking the state to cover the difference of the maintenance and operations (M&0) and interest and sinking (I&S) taxes using the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation, or JETI, program. The company's explanation for the tax breaks centered on the cost differential between Texas and "competing jurisdictions," it wrote in the applications. "Absent the limitation, the project IRR would fall below the minimum investment threshold, and competing jurisdictions (e.g., Arizona) would present a more favorable after-tax return," the application read, "i

SpaceX Stock Pauses After Lockup Rally Ahead of the Next Share Unlock
SpaceX stock was jumping again Monday—chasing its highest close for a month after snapping a four-week losing run on Friday with a 16% surge following the end of a lockup period for shares. The Elon Musk-led satellite and artificial-intelligence company’s shares were rising 1.9% to 135.63 as investors regained appetite for the stock, which has had a torrid time since its closing high of $201.80 on June 16—reached shortly after its initial public offering on June 12. Wall Street had widely braced for severe selling pressure on Thursday, when SpaceX’s first lockup expiration freed roughly 911 million restricted insider shares. Continue Reading

Does Tesla’s Terafab Texas Chip Bet Reshape Its AI Ambitions And Margin Story For TSLA?
In late July 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla was exploring options to separate its China business ahead of a potential merger with SpaceX, a story Elon Musk and Tesla representatives publicly rejected as false even as it highlighted Tesla's heavy operational reliance on its Shanghai factory. At the same time, Tesla's deepening ties with SpaceX and projects like the Terafab Texas chip facility are prompting investors to weigh how any future restructuring of its China operations could reshape the company's global manufacturing footprint and exposure to geopolitical risk. We'll now examine how the Terafab Texas semiconductor project could influence Tesla's investment narrative around AI, robotics, and long-term margins. Invest in the nuclear renaissance through our list of 89 elite nuclear energy infrastructure plays powering the global AI revolution. Tesla Investment Narrative Recap Tesla's story still hinges on whether you believe it can evolve from a carmaker into a profitable AI, autonomy, and robotics platform while managing heavy capital spending and margin pressure. The China separation and SpaceX merger rumors, despite denials, spotlight Tesla's dependence on Shanghai and geopolitical risk, but do not currently alter the near term focus on scaling robotaxi and FSD software as the key catalyst, or on regulatory and cost pressures as the main risks. Against that backdrop, the planned Terafab Texas semiconductor complex with SpaceX is particularly relevant. It ties directly to Tesla's push into real world AI and autonomous systems, and could support the company's attempt to control chip supply for FSD and Optimus. For investors watching Tesla's transition toward higher margin software and robotics, Terafab sits at the intersection of the bull case on AI and the concern that rising AI and capex spending may keep margins under strain. Yet, even if you accept Tesla's AI and robotaxi promise, you still need to grapple with the risk that... Read the full narrative on Tesla (it's free!)

Tesla in the spotlight as NFL's 49ers head coach says Autopilot may have been engaged during accident
Tesla (TSLA) is in the spotlight after news that the company's self-driving software may have played a part in an accident involving the head coach of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. This comes as Tesla is ramping up its autonomous tech around the globe, a huge part of its future revenue story. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was injured in an accident on July 14 when his car veered onto oncoming traffic and hit another car head-on. Shanahan was adamant that he was the one at fault, not the other driver. However, in his first press appearance since the accident on Aug. 8, he added some new details. Shanahan, a Tesla owner, said he was driving the car with Autopilot engaged when the car crossed into oncoming traffic on Alma Avenue in Palo Alto and struck a Mercedes SUV. Shanahan had dropped his phone and was trying to retrieve it when the accident occurred, meaning his eyes weren't on the road.San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, middle, watches players run drills during the NFL football team's training camp, Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, in Santa Clara, Calif. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)·AP Photo/Jeff Chiu But he added there's a chance Autopilot may have been disengaged. "I've had Autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it and, you know, who knows what happened when I turned around? Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off? That's something I don't know yet. But regardless, that's — it is always your fault, whether you're on Autopilot or not. You can't take your eyes off the road." Shanahan added: "It's a partnership driving, you don't just turn it over to a computer, and it's a good lesson, no matter how comfortable I am with that, that I believe someday could save my life or someone else's, or it's really helped me have perspective on that stuff." Tesla data logs from Shanahan's Tesla Model S could definitively say whether Autopilot was engaged during the accident. That information hasn't been released yet. Tesla's Autopilot is essentially a traffic-aware cruise control that allows the vehicle to change speeds when following another car on the highway, combined with Autosteer, which keeps the vehicle centered in the lane. Tesla enthusiast Kees Roelandschap drives around hands-free with his electric car, several days after Dutch regulators approved the use of Tesla's self-driving software, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, April 17, 2026. (REUTERS/Bart Biesemans)·Reuters / REUTERS In January, Tesla removed Autopilot self-driving software as a standard feature in the US on new Model Y and Model 3 purchases as the company pushes its more advanced Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions. It's unclear whether Tesla removed Autopilot due to a suspension of its dealer license in California stemming from a ruling that Tesla engaged in deceptive marketing over claims about Autopilot and FSD. The ruling was stayed for 60 days to allow Tesla time to comply, namely to change marketing practices around the software, which it did. Story Continues Currently, the only autonomous driving feature Tesla offers in new vehicles is FSD, which is offered via subscription or a one-time purchase. Tesla is counting on its autonomous software as a key lever for its growth. The company's nascent robotaxi service uses a similar software to FSD to pilot its cars around areas like Austin, Texas, and the San Francisco Bay Area (though paired with safety drivers), and Tesla said last quarter that FSD subscriptions climbed to 1.48 million, up 56% from a year ago.

In Europe, Tesla is trying to get FSD certified across the broader EU, using the Netherlands as a key beachhead where the software has been approved. Wall Street believes FSD and the robotaxi business could be big. Deutsche Bank's Edison Yu models Tesla's FSD unit enterprise value at $225 billion by 2030, with the rob

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights SpaceX, Tesla KLA Corp, Onto Innovation, Applied Materials and Lam Research
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 10, 2026 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: SpaceX SPCX, Tesla TSLA, KLA Corp KLAC, Onto Innovation ONTO, Applied Materials AMAT and Lam Research LRCX. Here are highlights from Friday's Analyst Blog: Tesla-SpaceX Terafab Bet: 4 Chip Equipment Stocks That Could Benefit Elon Musk is betting big on chips. SpaceX and Tesla have committed an initial $16.8 billion to build Terafab, an AI semiconductor complex spanning more than 100 million square feet in Grimes County, TX. The vertically integrated facility is designed to handle chip manufacturing, packaging, and testing all under one roof. A buildout of this scale could create opportunities for chip equipment makers like KLA Corp, Onto Innovation, Applied Materials and Lam Research. Musk has pegged Tesla and SpaceX's future AI compute needs at over 1 terawatt annually— a figure that dwarfs current global chip output— and Terafab is meant to help close that gap. The chips from the Terafab plant will be engineered for edge computing and inference, purpose-built to power Tesla's Optimus robots and Cybercabs, alongside high-performance processors for SpaceX's space-based data centers. As Tesla and SpaceX lean further into AI-dependent products, including autonomous robots, self-driving vehicles and orbital computing, owning manufacturing capacity in-house could mean fewer bottlenecks, less reliance on external suppliers and faster execution on projects central to Musk's roadmap. To pull it off, Intel has also stepped in as a manufacturing partner, lending its process technology and high-volume production expertise to the facility. Beyond Intel, Terafab's buildout will require enormous amounts of specialized equipment— the tools that actually construct, inspect, and calibrate a fab of this size. No vendors have been named publicly yet, but a handful of companies dominate that space, and they stand to benefit as Terafab's plans unfold. 4 Top-Ranked Chip Equipment Stocks KLA helps chipmakers detect defects and measure chip quality during the manufacturing process. It's like the quality-control specialist of a semiconductor factory. Since Terafab plans to manufacture logic chips, memory chips, and package them all in one facility, maintaining high production quality will be critical. As chips become more advanced, manufacturers need even more inspection and testing, which should support demand for KLA's tools. The stock sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for KLA's fiscal 2027 and 2028 EPS implies year-over-year growth of 44% and 21%, respectively. Story Continues You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Onto provides inspection and measurement tools, with a strong focus on advanced chip packaging, including tools that help align and connect chip components as they are assembled. Terafab plans to handle packaging in-house, and since Musk's roadmap spans different chip types, that likely means a mix of packaging methods too. As AI chips grow more complex, demand for advanced packaging keeps rising, and Onto has been benefiting from that trend. The stock sports a Zacks Rank #1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Onto's 2026 and 2027 EPS implies year-over-year growth of 45% and 40%, respectively. Applied Materials sells a broad range of chipmaking equipment along with the installation and support services that go with them. That breadth matters for Terafab, which plans to produce advanced logic and memory chips in a single facility. AI-driven demand is pushing more equipment spending toward this kind of advanced chipmaking, where Applied Materials already has an established presence. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMAT's fiscal 2026 and 2027 EPS implie
