Building on Strong Customer Demand, Mangrove Lithium to Significantly Expand North America's Refining Capacity with Massive New Facility
To anchor demand for the new facility, Mangrove has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with multiple leading U.S. battery gigafactories. These agreements cover offtake for 20,000 tonnes per annum of battery grade lithium—demonstrating the market's trust in Mangrove's refining technology and operational readiness.
'These MoUs reflect the accelerating interest from global customers who recognize Mangrove as a strategic partner in securing lithium supply,' said Saad Dara, CEO and founder of Mangrove Lithium.
Annie Liu, Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer at Mangrove, added 'Having negotiated deals for automakers like Tesla and Ford, I've seen firsthand how critical it is to have a reliable Western lithium supply chain—and that's exactly what Mangrove delivers.'
The new plant will integrate spodumene concentrate processing, extending Mangrove's electrochemical processing flowsheet upstream. This marks a critical step toward reshoring parts of the lithium value chain that are currently dominated by Chinese processing infrastructure.
'The fragility of the global lithium supply chain is growing every day,' said Dara. 'Mangrove is building the foundation for a self-reliant, scalable, and sustainable North American lithium future.'
Earlier this year, China proposed an export ban on key lithium processing and extraction technologies—reinforcing the urgency for localized alternatives. Since the majority of lithium is currently processed in China, these restrictions pose a significant risk to global supply chains, making domestic capabilities like Mangrove's increasingly vital. Mangrove's feedstock and product flexible electrochemical refining technology not only cuts costs, but it reduces the carbon footprint of the supply chain, eliminates waste production, and brings lithium refining where it is needed most.
Construction is already underway at Mangrove's first commercial facility in Delta, British Columbia, following a successful $35 million USD funding round. The project remains on track to begin operations by the end of the year, with capacity to produce enough lithium annually to support approximately 25,000 electric vehicles.

Sales tax holidays begin as families face higher school costs
Nine states are kicking off tax-free holidays this weekend —as back-to-school inflation hits hard and families rush to lock in savings. Why it matters: It's a rare tax break for families preparing for a new school year and dealing with higher prices because of President Trump's tariffs. Four states — Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico and Tennessee — held tax holidays in July, and four more tax-free breaks are held later in August. The big picture: Retailers like Walmart and Target are freezing or lowering prices on select items to court budget-conscious shoppers. Looming tariffs on Chinese imports — including tech and school supplies — are expected to drive prices up 12–15% this season, according to retail analysts. What they're saying:"With uncertainty around costs this fall, both shoppers and retailers are trying to lock in value now while they can," Stephanie Carls, RetailMeNot retail insights expert, told Axios.

Semtech, Teradyne, Western Digital, Allegro MicroSystems, and Intel Shares Are Falling, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks fell in the morning session after the U.S. jobs report for July came in significantly weaker than expected while new widespread import tariffs were announced, sparking fears of a potential economic slowdown. The U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs, far below estimates, and massive downward revisions to the prior two months painted a much weaker picture of the labor market. This has stoked recession fears, which would directly impact demand for chips used in countless products. Compounding these worries, the White House announced new tariffs, including a 20% levy on imports from Taiwan, a global hub for chip manufacturing. This dual shock of slowing domestic growth and renewed trade friction creates a challenging outlook for the highly cyclical and globally connected semiconductor industry, leading to a broad-based sell-off. 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: Semiconductor Manufacturing company Semtech (NASDAQ:SMTC) fell 3.2%. Is now the time to buy Semtech? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Semiconductor Manufacturing company Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) fell 4%. Is now the time to buy Teradyne? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Memory Semiconductors company Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) fell 3.4%. Is now the time to buy Western Digital? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Processors and Graphics Chips company Allegro MicroSystems (NASDAQ:ALGM) fell 3.4%. Is now the time to buy Allegro MicroSystems? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Processors and Graphics Chips company Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) fell 3.1%. Is now the time to buy Intel? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Zooming In On Teradyne (TER) Teradyne's shares are very volatile and have had 23 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 2 days ago when the stock gained 21.1% on the news that the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results and provided a strong third-quarter forecast, driven by robust demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chip testing equipment. The semiconductor test equipment manufacturer posted revenue of $651.8 million and adjusted earnings of 57 cents per share, both of which topped analyst expectations. Growth was primarily fueled by its core chip testing division, as demand for System-on-a-Chip (SoC) components for AI applications surged. This strength in AI was significant enough to offset weakness in the automotive and industrial sectors. Looking ahead, Teradyne's management provided an optimistic outlook, forecasting third-quarter revenue between $710 million and $770 million, which suggested continued momentum. Teradyne is down 18.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $103.06 per share, it is trading 26.4% below its 52-week high of $140 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Teradyne's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,142. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

LINEAGE INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Lineage, Inc. and Announces Opportunity for Investors with Substantial Losses to Lead the Lineage Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock in or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with Lineage's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'), have until September 30, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. Captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., No. 25-cv-12383 (E.D. Mich.), the Lineage class action lawsuit charges Lineage and certain of its top executives, directors, IPO underwriters, and IPO sponsor with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lineage is a Maryland REIT focused on temperature-controlled cold-storage facilities. In the July 2024 IPO, Lineage sold over 65 million shares of Lineage common stock to investors at $78 per share, raising more than $5 billion in gross offering proceeds. The Lineage class action lawsuit alleges that the registration statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, Lineage's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lineage's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (ii) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing Lineage; (iii) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (iv) as a result, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (v) consequently, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen to lows near $40 per share. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lineage common stock in or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Lineage's IPO to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lineage class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lineage class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lineage class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit.
