Latham Group (SWIM), the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground, residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, and produces custom pool liners and automatic safety covers. Nearer and longer-term driver remains the structural shift toward fiberglass pools, which continues to take share from concrete. Fiberglass represents approximately 76% of Latham’s pool sales, yet remains underpenetrated in key growth markets

Micron Technology Inc., the largest US maker of computer memory chips, delivered a sales forecast that topped Wall Street estimates after AI-fueled shortages of the components sent prices soaring.
Revenue will be approximately $50 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, which runs through August, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts estimated $43.2 billion on average. Excluding some items, profit will be about $31 a share, compared with a projection of $25.31.

The shares climbed about 5% in late trading after the report was released. They had already more than tripled this year, outpacing all other major chip stocks.

Micron and its peers in the memory space — Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. — have become major beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom. A spending spree by data center operators has stoked the appetite for both conventional memory and a newer variety called high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, that works with AI systems.

Micron Sales Forecast Tops Estimates on Insatiable Memory Demand

In an industrial park a half-hour outside Prague, Peter Magic finds himself at the center of a gold rush. In the 15 years since he started his business as a teenager in his parents’ garage in Slovakia, it’s developed into a fast-growing company with almost nine figures in annual revenue and an international clientele. He isn’t training a new kind of agentic artificial intelligence that replaces your employer’s legal department or building the next online prediction market. His company, Janoshik Analytical, does purity and sterility testing for black-market anabolic steroids, an obscure niche Magic found during his own foray into weightlifting. His search for other lifters online took him to 4chan and Reddit, where many talked freely about their pharmaceutical experimentation but fretted about what might be in their drugs. Magic figured testing steroid samples couldn’t be that hard. “It took a couple of years, actually, before we got all the processes perfected, because obviously, legally, this is pretty thin ice,” he says. Among connoisseurs, his testing has become the gold standard. Outside, in his lab’s parking lot, he has the shimmering purple Ferrari to prove it.

As it turns out, Magic’s reputation for running a legitimate business evaluating illicit substances has positioned him perfectly for a new black market: the global trade in peptides. For more on the show, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec, spoke with Amanda Mull, Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Reporter and Madison Muller, Bloomberg News US Health Care Reporter
