Why TeraWulf Stock Is Skyrocketing Today
Key Points TeraWulf inked a multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement to provide up to 200 megawatts of compute power to an AI cloud provider. The deal will be backed by Google in exchange for a potential 8% stake in TeraWulf. 10 stocks we like better than TeraWulf › Shares of TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) are flying on Thursday, up 44.1% as of 1:09 p.m. ET. The jump comes as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were down slightly. TeraWulf, a Bitcoin miner and high-performance computing (HPC) data center company, announced it inked a 10-year, $3.7 billion deal backed by Alphabet's Google. TeraWulf signs a massive deal for AI data center space Along with releasing its second-quarter earnings, TeraWulf announced a major co-location deal with Fluidstack, an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider that will see the company provide 200 megawatts of compute power at its data center in New York. The 10-year, $3.7 billion deal has the option to be extended twice for up to a total of $8.7 billion. Google will guarantee up to $1.8 billion if Fluidstack fails to make good on its lease obligations. In exchange, Google will be awarded warrants for 41 million shares of TeraWulf, about an 8% stake. The guarantee will allow TeraWulf to access the financing it needs to provide the 200 megawatts of compute power. TeraWulf stock is hot, but investors should exercise caution This is the latest major data center deal as big tech races to build enough capacity to meet current and projected future demands. It's hard to overstate just the scale of the efforts. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms alone are expected to spend roughly $400 billion next year and are on track to spend more than $350 billion this year. That's not total capital expenditures (capex), that is specifically data center capex. While this presents an enormous opportunity for data center providers, it also presents an enormous risk. I believe that the big tech companies are very purposefully making deals such as this one to offload the risk onto third parties. TeraWulf and other infrastructure companies like it are taking on enormous amounts of debt at very high interest rates. If there is an overbuild or AI demand sags, TeraWulf could find itself in a pretty precarious position. Should you invest $1,000 in TeraWulf right now?

Well-heeled shoppers shrug off price hikes for Birkenstocks and Bugaboo strollers for now
By Helen Reid LONDON (Reuters) -Well-heeled shoppers around the United States seem - so far at least - willing to soak up price hikes for aspirational products from trendy Birkenstock sandals to Bugaboo prams, despite the impact of trade tariffs and belt-tightening elsewhere. German sandal and clog brand Birkenstock has enjoyed strong consumer demand with little pushback from U.S. retailers since hiking prices at the start of July, its chief executive said on Thursday. As brands raise prices and cut costs to mitigate the impact of higher U.S. tariffs on their imported products, a key question is the extent to which consumers will be put off and buy less, or simply walk away from purchases. Comments from Birkenstock, Bugaboo, Coach, Ralph Lauren and other brands at the premium end of the market suggest that, so far, affluent consumers are shrugging off price hikes. "We saw no pushback or cancellations following the July 1st price increases implemented in response to tariffs," Birkenstock CEO Oliver Reichert told analysts on a call, adding demand for the brand has been "tremendously strong." Bank of America, the largest consumer facing U.S. bank, said this week that middle- and upper-income earners spent more on their credit cards in July than the same month last year. In contrast, spending among the lowest income bracket remained flat, the bank found. Overall U.S. consumer spending may stay strong, Bank of America said, as long as higher-income individuals keep spending. Lower-income earners account for only 15% of all U.S. consumer spending, according to Bank of America. However, Procter & Gamble, maker of Tide detergent, reported signs of spending cutbacks among higher-income consumers, indicating that shoppers may be becoming more selective with their purchases. Bugaboo, a Netherlands-based maker of expensive baby gear, also raised prices on its strollers, high chairs and play pens by $50-$300 in May because of U.S. tariffs. Retailers were open and accepting. "In general we did not see any pushback. They are like us. They understand it is a fluid situation," Chief Commercial Officer for North America, Jeanelle Teves, said. Bugaboo manufactures in China and sells strollers for more than $1,000 at Target, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and independent mom and pop stores. Coach handbags also remain in strong demand despite a gloomier economic outlook: the brand drew in more than 4.6 million new customers in North America this year, many of whom are Gen Z and millennials, Tapestry CEO Joanne Kuvoiserat said on Thursday. Coach, whose popular Tabby shoulder bags retail for $350, will maintain its operating profit margin despite the pressure of tariffs, Kuvoiserat said. Ralph Lauren, meanwhile, raised its annual revenue forecast as shoppers snapped up items like its $398 Polo Bear sweaters. But consumers' behavior in the coming months remains hard to predict, CEO Patrice Louvet highlighted on a conference call with analysts. "The bigger unknown here today is the price sensitivity and how the consumer reacts to the broader pricing environment. So that's what we're watching very closely as we head into the second half."

Apple Supplier Foxconn Doubles Down On AI: Server Sales Now 41% Of Revenue
Aug 14 - Foxconn (FXCOF) Hon Hai Precision Industry (the world's largest iPhone maker) leans into AI with a blockbuster quarter and an ambitious expansion plan. The company posted NT$1.79 trillion ($59.7B) in revenue for Q2 and net income of NT$44.36 billion, beating SmartEstimates. More important: server products for AI workloads now drive the business, accounting for 41% of sales versus 35% from consumer electronics. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Signs with FXCOF. Foxconn expects AI-server revenue to surge more than 170% year-over-year this quarter as demand for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)-powered infrastructure climbs. Management also reported operating profit of NT$56.6 billion, above forecasts, and flagged further growth as it expands data-center work and takes a stake in TECO to support industrial-scale AI builds. Geopolitics complicate the picture: trade tensions and tariff threats pushed Foxconn to move much iPhone final assembly to India and spur a $1 billion North America investment plan from a subsidiary to blunt U.S. tariff risk. Still, Foxconn shows pivoting power, it shifts from phone assembly toward AI servers, EV assembly and semiconductor bets, aiming to turn hardware muscle into long-term cloud and AI revenue.
