Malaysia's MMC Port Plans to Meet Investors Before Up to $2.0 Billion IPO

Malaysian Port operator MMC Port Holdings will start meeting investors from the Middle East, Europe and the U.S. starting early next week, ahead of an initial public offering to raise up to $2.0 billion, people familiar with the process said.
The company aims to fix its cornerstone investors by end-August before launching the IPO to institutional and retail investors, these people said. It plans to list on Malaysia's stock exchange by late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of this year, they said.

Tesla sales tumble amid Musk backlash and mounting competition

Tesla's U.S. sales slumped in the second quarter as mounting competition and signs of backlash against founder CEO Elon Musk chipped away at the electric vehicle maker's lead in the segment. Vehcle sales fell to 384,122 in April through June, a more than 13% drop from 443,956 in the same period last year. Sales of the company's Models 3 and Y totaled 373,728, above the estimate of 356,000 from Wall Street analysts. The decline comes amid renewed friction between Musk and President Trump this week, with the billionaire entrepreneur blasting the Republican tax and spending bill passed by the Senate on Tuesday. Musk has acknowledged that his work as head of the Department of Government Efficiency and his embrace of European far-right candidates have hurt the company. But he attributed much of the sales plunge to customers holding off while they waited for new versions of Tesla's best selling Model Y, and recently predicted a major turnaround in sales. Tesla sales across Europe plummeted by almost 50% in April even as the broader market for electric cars saw growth in the region, according to data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association in May. At the same time, sales of battery-electric vehicles by all manufacturers rose about 28%, the group's data shows. Despite the sales slump, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives thinks Tesla is well-positioned for future growth, pointing to the company's push into self-driving vehicles. Tesla in June started testing a "robotaxi" service in Austin, Texas, and is investing heavily in autonomous driving technology. "Autonomous remains the biggest transformation to the auto industry in modern day history, and in our view Tesla will own the autonomous market in the U.S. with the initial launch of unsupervised [full self-driving] in Austin," he said in a note to investors. Tesla's stock price rose $13, or 4%, to $309.30 in morning trade on Wednesday.

W hotel opens in the heart of Florence

Marriott International's W Hotels brand has opened the W Florence in the Italian city's historic center. The hotel is located near the city's Duomo and is housed within a landmark building that was once the home of the Grand Hotel Majestic. The property features 119 guestrooms, including a penthouse with a roughly 1,500-square-foot private terrace that offers views of the Duomo and St. Lorenzo Cathedral. The W Florence's dining offerings are opening in phases. Tratto, a contemporary Italian restaurant helmed by the culinary collective Trattoria Contemporanea, has already made its debut. Tratto operates the hotel's main dining room and bar as well as its W Lounge, courtyard and room service. Two additional venues -- the craft cocktail-focused Zefiro Rooftop and contemporary Korean and Japanese concept Akira Back -- are scheduled to debut later this summer. The hotel also offers a 24/7 gym, outfitted with cardio and strength-training equipment, as well as a central courtyard that can host private events. The Florence property marks the lifestyle flag's second Italian location, joining the W Rome.
