Bugatti Unveils New Atelier In Molsheim Ahead Of Tourbillon Production
The workshop's sleek exterior - darkened walls paired with glowing glass panels - hides an interior designed with equal precision. Expansive eastern windows draw in the morning sun, while ceiling skylights flood the hall with daylight throughout the day. The result is more than just a pleasant workplace. It's an environment that inspires the roughly 50 craftspeople who will assemble some of the most complex machines on Earth.
Inside, the new atelier doubles Bugatti's previous production capacity. The company has brought more of the manufacturing process in-house, streamlining everything from sub-component construction to final body-chassis integration. It's the most advanced setup in the company's 116-year history - and that history is front of mind as Bugatti transitions from the final, celebratory Chiron to the future-forward Tourbillon.
While the new facility focuses on engineering excellence, the former Macaron-shaped atelier has found a new calling: guest experience. The old building will become a showcase of Bugatti's legacy, offering visitors a glimpse into cabin assembly and design detail - a uniquely Bugatti blend of luxury hospitality and hypercar education.It's a fitting tribute to a space that helped birth record-breakers like the Chiron Super Sport and Mistral, the latter of which recently reclaimed the title of world's fastest convertible.
"We are currently steering the biggest Bentley design revolution in our history," says Frederic Daul, Director of Operations at Bugatti - although to be fair, this is more than just a revolution. It's a redefinition. With the Tourbillon's mix of 1,000-hp V16 combustion and 800-hp electric assistance, and with production set to begin later this year, Bugatti is building both the car and the facility worthy of its next icon.Every brick and pane of glass in this atelier is part of that story. A new chapter in Molsheim is being written - one where timeless craftsmanship and cutting-edge tech collide under one beautifully sloped roof.

41-year-old lawyer relocated to Paris, has no plans of moving back to the U.S.: 'It's where I'm supposed to be in the world'
After law school, Adriel Sanders, 41, found work as a corporate securities, mergers and acquisitions attorney. But she didn't enjoy practicing law. "The whole firm knew it. It was not a well-kept secret. I tried to pretend like I wanted to be a partner, but I couldn't maintain that image. I didn't even want to be a lawyer," Sanders, tells CNBC Make It. "I didn't enjoy the work and the expectation to work all the time and I will probably be one of the only attorneys who says it, but I don't think it's that intellectually stimulating." Sanders, who goes by Adriel Felise online, quit that job and eventually went to work as general counsel for a publicly traded company. At the time, Sanders was living in Washington, D.C. and making $286,656 a year, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. She lived in a studio apartment and paid about $3,000 a month in rent. "What stereotypically happens to most Black women when they work in corporate America is the type of things I experienced my whole career. You're constantly hitting up against this glass ceiling," Sanders says. "I was deeply and truly miserable at the very depths of my little heart and little soul. I knew that it was not sustainable." While working her 9-to-5, Sanders dreamt of starting her own clothing line. She even pursued photography in her free time as a way to escape the endless grind of her career. "Photography was very much my creative outlet. For me, starting a fashion line is about doing what I should have always been doing and not about leaving a secure career. I feel like I'm stepping into my purpose," Sanders says. In 2017, Sanders and her two brothers went to Paris for the first time. That trip changed everything. When they first arrived in the city, Sanders was a bit disgruntled after having an uncomfortable flight. Her younger brother reminded her to look around and take in where they were. "It instantly clicked. I was like, 'This is your home. This is where you're supposed to be in the world and this is where you will always be," she says. "I knew I had to move to Paris." Sanders traveled back to Paris several times after that first visit. "The moment I stepped off the plane, I felt like I could just breathe," she says. In 2019, she decided she would make the move across the Atlantic. At the beginning of 2020, Sanders quit her job, gave her landlord notice, and started the process to obtain a French visa. She contacted Adrian Leeds from HGTV's "House Hunters International" to help find an apartment and flew to France for a few days while a moving company packed up her belongings and prepared to ship it all overseas. Sanders landed in Paris the day before France closed its border due to the covid-19 pandemic. "The slowness of the world meant that France sped up. We were all operating from the same level of confusion, so the good thing is that I was confused by what was happening, but so was everyone else," Sanders says. "I arrived the day before the lockdown, so there was no one and it was a complete dystopia." Sanders signed a lease for a one-bedroom apartment that cost 1,550 euros, or $1,815 USD, where she lived for two years. She then moved into a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment and signed a three-year lease. The rent was 1,980 euros or $2,319 when she first moved in. It has since increased to $2,540 USD. Sanders lives in what they call an "unfurnished apartment" in Paris, which means she had to purchase her own kitchen cabinets, stove, and washing machine. She estimates that she spent about $5,000 on the kitchen and close to another $10,000 to make the place really feel like home. "Could I have done it cheaper, 100% but my view is that I don't know when I will leave so I want to have things the way I want them," she says. In addition to rent, Sanders spends, on average, about 963 euros or $1,128 per month on expenses, which include household bills like cable, internet, renter's insurance, dry cleaning, electricity and gas, private health insurance, and a Navigo transportation card. She also has an annual subscription to the Louvre, which costs 95 euros a year and a second museum card that can add an extra 50-100 euros a year to her expenses. She also pays 1,069.20 euros or $1,252 annually to a guarantor service, which allows her to continue renting in France. When Sanders first arrived in Paris, she did some consulting as a lawyer but decided it was finally time to bet on herself. She says she had about $200,000 in her business account and $70,000 in personal savings when she quit that job and put all of her focus on creating her fashion brand, Adriel Felise, and becoming a content creator. That money and her income from content creation helps to fund Sanders' new business venture. Her parents are retired and have been able to help her out as well. "I'm grateful for it because it gives me the cushion to do the runway launching for the fashion line and that to me is the most important goal. It gives me the freedom to know that I'm not going to fall and can pursue my dream," she says. Sanders is self-funding the production of her initial samples and prototypes, but hopes to raise at least $2 million and have her 10-piece collection ready for launch in 2026. Sanders says leaving the United States and her corporate law career behind helped her realize she's more resourceful than she thought. "I can use my strategic side that I learned as a lawyer, but implement it in a very creative way." she says. "I love fashion and I'm so happy that I can now just say that and be upfront about it because for so long it was treated as something that made me less serious." When Sanders was working as a lawyer, she used to take walks around her office building and dream about starting a fashion line, and now seeing it come to life still doesn't feel real. "There's still a part of me that strives and pushes for more so I don't know if I'm fully ready to say I'm proud but I feel like I'm actually happy, which I wasn't for so long and that's huge for me," she says. "My goal and desire is to inspire women — particularly black and brown women — to just pursue their dreams and goals. When they do it does not matter. The most important thing is that they be bold, move wisely, and just go for it." Sanders plans to keep Paris as her home base and eventually buy a home in the countryside. Since moving, Sanders has traveled all over France, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and more. She is currently making plans to spend the rest of the summer in the Loire Valley or Normandy in northern France. "I wish I had had the courage to move sooner. I wish I had the courage to do it after my first semester of law school to either drop out or enroll in business school and do something different that would have given me more options and choice to not get pigeonholed into something that I knew from the beginning I didn't want to be," she says. "I know that Americans really love to classify based upon age, race, etc. but I don't want to be classified as anything other than a woman who believed in herself enough to ignore the naysayers and go for her hopes and dreams."

Micron Technology, Inc. (MU): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Micron Technology, Inc. on Rijnberk InvestInsights's Substack by Daan | InvestInsights. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on MU. Micron Technology, Inc.'s share was trading at $114.39 as of July 18th. MU's trailing and forward P/E were 20.61 and 9.40 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A robotic arm holding a semiconductor chip, emphasizing the precision and quality of the company's production equipment. Micron Technology, a leading U.S.-based memory semiconductor producer, remains a controversial investment. As one of three global DRAM and NAND giants, it benefits from scale, process leadership, and high barriers to entry but operates in a deeply cyclical, commodity-like market, deterring many long-term investors. DRAM, its largest segment (≈70% of revenue), has gained market share to ~25% amid early DDR5/LPDDR5X adoption, node leadership (1αnm/1βnm), and a pivot to AI, automotive, and industrial applications. NAND (≈30% of revenue) remains more challenged, with Micron holding ~11–12% share, behind Samsung and SK Hynix. Its fastest-growing business, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), is critical for AI workloads; Micron's HBM3E/4 products lead in power and capacity, with 2025 output sold out and share expected to reach 20–25% by year-end. Integrated manufacturing, U.S.-heavy production, and diversification limit geopolitical risk. Financially, Micron is rebounding sharply: Q3 FY25 revenue grew 37% YoY to $9.3B, gross margin hit 39%, EPS surged >200% YoY, and free cash flow reached $1.9B despite $2.7B in capex. Management guides Q4 revenue up 15% sequentially to $10.7B and EPS of $2.50, with DRAM and HBM driving mid-teens bit growth. Structural AI, data center, and automotive demand should sustain a low-double-digit CAGR through cycles. Valuation remains attractive at ~10x FY26 earnings, with a PEG of ~ investors with a 5–10 year horizon and a tolerance for 30–50% drawdowns, Micron offers exposure to secular AI-driven growth. Shares near $125 could deliver mid-teens annualized returns, with upside if current execution persists. Previously we covered a on Micron Technology, Inc. by Oliver | MMMT Wealth in April 2025, which highlighted its technological edge, secular AI-driven memory demand, and undervaluation as key drivers. The company's stock price has appreciated by approximately 69% since our coverage. This is because AI and data center tailwinds accelerated. The thesis still stands as structural demand persists. Daan | InvestInsights shares a similar but emphasizes on Micron's HBM leadership and financial rebound. Micron Technology, Inc. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 96 hedge fund portfolios held MU at the end of the first quarter which was 94 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of MU as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Viavi Solutions Inc. on Viavi Solutions Inc. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on VIAV. Viavi Solutions Inc.'s share was trading at $10.31 as of July 23rd. VIAV's trailing and forward P/E were 515.50 and 17.86, respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Image by Akela999 from Pixabay Viavi Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAVI) is a global leader in network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions that underpin the reliable deployment of AI applications across data centers and enterprise networks. The company's technology enables high-speed, high-integrity data infrastructure critical for AI workloads, supporting both hyperscale and enterprise data centers as AI transitions from the compute build-out to application deployment. Viavi's offerings ensure network performance from the core data centers, where compute is concentrated, to the edge, where AI inference increasingly takes place. Its advanced optical technologies serve a broad range of industries, reinforcing its role as an indispensable enabler in the AI ecosystem. With AI entering Phase 2, the acceleration of application deployment, the demand for reliable and efficient network infrastructure has become more urgent, as the return on heavy capital expenditure depends on seamlessly running these AI systems. Viavi is well-positioned to capitalize on this need, providing the critical assurance that network systems will function smoothly as AI-driven workloads scale. The company was recently added to the portfolio and subsequently increased during broader market weakness, reflecting strong conviction in its growth trajectory. Viavi stands to benefit meaningfully as the focus shifts from building AI compute capacity to unlocking value through the widespread deployment of AI applications, particularly at the network edge, where its solutions are mission-critical. This unique positioning creates a compelling investment case as Viavi's role becomes increasingly integral to the realization of AI's next growth phase. Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Trex Company, Inc. (TREX) by Stock Analysis Compilation in June 2025, which highlighted structural growth in composite decking, Trex's market leadership, and strong secular tailwinds. The company's stock price has appreciated by approximately 18.18% since our coverage as the thesis played out. The thesis still stands as composite adoption rises. The Viavi Solutions Inc. author shares a contrarian view, emphasizing AI-driven network infrastructure growth. Viavi Solutions Inc. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 30 hedge fund portfolios held VIAV at the end of the first quarter which was 28 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of VIAV as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
