Foxconn will hold a press conference with TECO Electric on Wednesday
TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's Foxconn said it will hold a press conference with Taiwanese industry motor maker TECO Electric & Machinery at 3:30 p.m. (0730 GMT) on Wednesday.
The press conference comes after the Apple and Nvidia supplier halted trading in its shares late on Tuesday, citing a plan to release material information. TECO also halted trading in its shares.
Taiwan's TECO Electric & Machinery Co is Taiwan's top industrial motor maker and ranks among the world's top five suppliers of small low-voltage and medium- to high-voltage motors. The company also produces motors for electric vehicles.
TECO entered the data center infrastructure market earlier this year with the acquisition of an 80% stake in Malaysia's NCL Energy. In July, the company said it had secured major data center projects in the Malaysian states of Selangor and Johor Bahru.
Foxconn has a big artificial intelligence server business and is actively expanding its electric vehicle business. It has also been seeking partnerships with automakers and the supply chain.
Foxconn said its spokesperson James Wu would attend the meeting.

Roblox raises annual bookings forecast as viral hits spur spending boom
By Zaheer Kachwala (Reuters) -Roblox raised its forecast for annual bookings on Thursday and crossed 100 million in daily active users on its videogame platform, riding on the success of viral hits such as "Grow a Garden" and sending its shares up 12.4% before the bell. Many of the platform's games have become highly popular due to their free-to-play nature and wide availability, drawing millions of users across diverse age groups and demographics. Average daily active users, a key measure of engagement, grew 41% to 111.8 million in the second quarter, while hours engaged jumped 58% to 27.4 billion. A large portion of the engagement and bookings growth in the second quarter came from "Grow a Garden", a tycoon-style game which allows players to grow their plots of land by trading seeds and plants. In June, the game set a world record for the most concurrent players to play a videogame, highlighting Roblox's reach across geographies. The company has been investing in search and discovery features that allow greater visibility for games like "Grow a Garden", with already healthy engagements, the company's newly appointed CFO, Naveen Chopra, told Reuters. In an uncertain economy, Roblox is diversifying its revenue sources beyond gaming and turning the platform into a hub for socializing, commerce and advertising. Such efforts have excited investors, who have more than doubled the company's shares so far this year, far outperforming rival videogame publishers. Roblox now expects fiscal 2025 bookings of between $5.87 billion and $5.97 billion, compared with its previous forecast of $5.29 billion to $5.36 billion. It forecast third-quarter bookings between $1.59 billion and $1.64 billion, compared with an estimate of $1.35 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Bookings for the second quarter came in at $1.44 billion, beating market estimates of $1.24 billion.

German inflation dips to cooler-than-expected 1.8% in July
German inflation fell more than expected to 1.8% in July, data from statistics agency Destatis showed Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had anticipated inflation to dip to 1.9%. July's reading compares to the 2% print recorded in June, which brought the German inflation rate in line with the European Central Bank's target. The figures are harmonized across the euro zone to ensure comparability. Euro zone inflation data is due later this week, with the reading forecast to come in at 1.9%. Inflation figures are being watched closely by economists and analysts as they assess the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy. Several sectoral tariffs, as well as temporarily reduced reciprocal duties have already been in effect in recent months. Last week the European Union and U.S. came to an agreement that includes EU goods being hit with 15% tariffs. While the levies are widely expected to affect prices in the U.S., it is less clear if, and how, inflation elsewhere may be affected. Thursday's inflation figures come just after Destatis on Wednesday published a preliminary reading of Germany's second-quarter gross domestic product. The economy shrank slightly by 0.1% in the period, marking a decline from the 0.3% growth recorded in the first quarter.
