Corsair Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSR#NASDAQ">CRSR</a>) is moving lower on Friday following preliminary results which came<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39849945"> in below estimates</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, the gaming company reported preliminary second quarter revenue at $261 million versus analyst estimates of $319.977 million. The company&#8217;s chief executive officer explained that the market for high-end custom gaming PCs is weaker than expected because consumers are waiting for new GPUs to be released at the end of the year.
&#8220;Channel inventory has generally been reduced for our products, and so during&nbsp;Q2&nbsp;we sold into the channel substantially less than was sold out to consumers,&#8221; said Corsair Gaming CEO Andy Paul.
&#8220;Overall in the Gaming Components and Systems segment, this resulted in disappointing results for revenue and margins, but we do expect this to recover in the second half of 2024 and 2025.&#8221;
Following the preliminary fiscal earnings release, Baird analyst Colin Sebastian maintained Corsair Gaming with a Neutral and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$14&nbsp;to&nbsp;$10. Lastly, the company is expected to release 2024 fiscal year second quarter results on August 1 after the market closes.

Why Corsair Gaming Stock Is Trading Lower Friday

Wall Street is poised to close the week in the red, with all major indices trading in negative territory at midday in New York, as broader sentiment remains weak following a temporary tech outage caused by a cloud software update from CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.

Wall Street Eye Worst Week In 3 Months As Tech Sector Falters; Oil Falls, Bitcoin Hits 1-Month Peak: What's Driving Market Friday?

Needham analyst Charles Shi reiterated a Buy rating on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $210</a>.
Shi said Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39842530/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-and-amd-stocks-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal 2024 second-quarter</a> results, with revenue of $20.82 billion and earnings per ADS of $1.48, beating consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s performance can be attributed to strong demand for both the 3nm and 5nm nodes, which contributed 15% and 35% of total wafer revenue for the quarter, respectively, as per the analyst.

The financial result was partially offset by seasonal weakness in smartphone sales, which decreased 1% sequentially, he noted.
The quarter&#8217;s gross margin of 53.2% was slightly below consensus due to margin dilution from the N3 ramp.
Shi highlighted Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s fiscal 2024 third-quarter guidance, which included midpoint revenue of $22.80 billion, gross margin of 54.5%, and operating margin of 43.5%, all above consensus estimates.
The analyst said the upbeat guidance is mainly due to the continued rise in AI-related demand and seasonal smartphone demand for both 3nm and 5nm.
Additionally, Taiwan Semiconductor raised its fiscal 2024 revenue guidance from &#8220;low- to mid-20s %&#8221; to &#8220;slightly above mid-20s %&#8221;, which is mainly within market expectations, Shi noted.
Shi now expects third-quarter revenue of $22.80 billion (prior $23.5 billion) and earnings per ADS of $1.77 (prior $1.78).
The analyst foresees fiscal 2024 revenue of $87.89 billion (prior $88.13 billion) and earnings per ADS of $6.62 (prior $6.53).
He anticipates fiscal 2025 revenue of $110.00 billion and earnings per ADS of $8.45 (prior $8.44).
Price Action: TSM shares traded lower by 3.50% at $165.82 at the last check on Friday.

During a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1479628103436767">press conference</a>, Shapiro reflected on the compromises made in the budget, emphasizing his continued belief in the reform&#8217;s potential benefits. 
Shapiro&#8217;s initial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/36982547/pa-gov-wants-cannabis-legalized-its-time-to-catch-up-with-other-states-and-earn-250m-in-revenue-">budget proposal</a> in February included cannabis legalization, highlighting the revenue potential as neighboring states move ahead with the reform. He pointed out the financial opportunities, stating, &#8220;We're losing out on an industry that, once fully implemented, would bring in more than $250 million in annual revenue.&#8221;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmaker On Legalization Efforts</h4>
However, the path to legalization faces internal disagreements among Pennsylvania Democrats regarding the regulatory framework. Rep. Dan Frankel, a staunch advocate for marijuana legalization, acknowledged the lack of consensus on whether to adopt a traditional private model or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38448103/state-run-vs-private-pennsylvania-debates-transition-of-liquor-store-model-to-cannabis-distribut">state-controlled system</a> comparable to the alcohol industry.
Frankel noted that cannabis reform was not a focal point in the recent budget negotiations, expressing doubts about advancing legalization this year due to limited session days. Nevertheless, he remained optimistic about future discussions and Republican engagement on the matter.
Senate president pro tempore Kim Ward criticized the governor&#8217;s involvement. &#8220;It's a lot of show, but not a lot of ‘go,' as far as I'm concerned.&#8221; 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Industry And Advocacy Group Weigh In</h4>
Meredith Buettner Schneider, executive director of the Pennsylvania Cannabis Coalition, expressed hope for legislative progress this fall. She emphasized the importance of the governor&#8217;s involvement. &#8220;[Shapiro] coming to the table over the next couple months would be really critical to getting something done.&#8221;
Amid legislative efforts, the Pennsylvania legislature inadvertently omitted medical marijuana dispensaries from a section providing tax relief for the cannabis industry in the budget bill. This error underscores the complex and often contentious nature of cannabis policy reform.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Projections And Future Outlook</h4>
A recent <a href="https://s43720.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/FTI-PA-Adult-Use-Market-Economic-Impacts-06.17.2461.pdf">report</a> commissioned by activists projected that Pennsylvania could see up to $2.8 billion in adult-use marijuana sales in the first year of legalization, generating significant tax revenue and job creation. Sens. Sharif Street and Dan Laughlin stressed the importance of bipartisan cooperation to pass a legalization bill, advocating for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36620822/feds-finally-release-documents-confirming-recommendation-to-reschedule-cannabis-based-on-accepte">federal government&#8217;s proposed cannabis rescheduling rule</a> to be implemented swiftly.
In light of regional legalization dynamics and increasing public support, Pennsylvania&#8217;s journey toward marijuana reform continues to unfold. Lawmakers and advocates say they&#8217;re determined to achieve a consensus that balances regulatory considerations, economic opportunities and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39708899/no-cannabis-legalization-in-pennsylvania-without-our-support-says-black-caucus-urging-for-restor">social equity</a>.

Gov Josh Shapiro Says He'll Push For Marijuana Legalization In Pennsylvania Despite Setbacks

Pentagon Says First F-35 Of New Deliveries Accepted On Friday

Despite recent layoffs in its Reality Labs division, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is moving forward with ambitious plans for its virtual reality (VR) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arvr">augmented reality (AR) hardware. </a>
<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/reality-comes-to-metas-reality-labs">According</a> to The Information, the company aims to release the Quest 4 in 2026, followed by a higher-end headset in 2027.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quest 4 And High-End Headset Timelines</h3>
For the first time, specific timelines for these upcoming devices have surfaced. The Quest 4 is expected to come in two versions, internally referred to as &#8220;Pismo Low&#8221; and &#8220;Pismo High.&#8221; This bifurcation suggests Meta&#8217;s strategy to cater to both budget-conscious consumers and those seeking a premium VR experience.
The 2027 release, codenamed &#8220;La Jolla,&#8221; aims to position itself as a direct competitor to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">Apple Vision Pro.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AR Glasses And Design Challenges</h3>
Meta&#8217;s ambitions aren&#8217;t limited to VR headsets. The company is also planning to launch a pair of AR glasses featuring a genuine display. 
However, The Information&#8217;s report indicates that these glasses might face significant design hurdles. Unlike the lightweight Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, the new AR glasses are expected to weigh around 70 grams and have a &#8220;bulky design&#8221; due to the integrated display.
This design challenge is a familiar one in the AR industry. Achieving a balance between wearability, battery life, and display performance remains a tough nut to crack. The report suggests that due to their bulkiness, these glasses may not carry the Ray-Ban branding, as Ray-Ban&#8217;s parent company, EssilorLuxottica, reportedly disapproves of the design.
Many companies have faced similar challenges in miniaturizing displays to create comfortable, stylish, and functional AR glasses. This difficulty has often been a significant barrier to widespread consumer adoption.

More Than $10M Bet On Appian? Check Out These 3 Stocks Insiders Are Buying

Northern Irish golf sensation Rory McIlroy has weathered a few missed putts lately. According to the Daily Mail, after a brief foray into divorce proceedings, McIlroy and his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll, have opted for reconciliation. This decision inadvertently exposed the golfer&#8217;s unexpected windfall in Florida's real estate market.

<li>Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a></li>
</ul>
The couple&#8217;s Jupiter, Florida mansion, purchased for $11 million in 2012, has doubled in value to an estimated $22 million. The appreciation came during a tumultuous period for the McIlroys, culminating in a divorce filing on the eve of the PGA Championship in May, only to be dramatically withdrawn weeks later.
"There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate," McIlroy told The Guardian last month. "Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together."
The personal drama played out against McIlroy&#8217;s professional challenges, including a heartbreaking near-miss at the U.S. Open in Pinehurst. The golfer held a two-shot lead with four holes to play before stumbling to a second-place finish behind Bryson DeChambeau.
The 13,000-square-foot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39332812/they-broke-up-in-1989-but-now-his-ex-girlfriend-is-inheriting-his-1-million-retirement-account-after">residence — </a>on 2.4 acres of land — boasts nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Beyond its sheer size, the mansion has a luxury infinity pool, a games room, a tennis court, a home theater, and a recording studio. The property includes a state-of-the-art gym and a six-car garage. Its value has surged alongside the broader luxury real estate market in South Florida, a trend accelerated by the pandemic&#8217;s reshuffling of living preferences.

The golfer&#8217;s attorney, Thomas Sasser, previously represented Tiger Woods in his 2010 divorce. Given Florida&#8217;s equitable distribution laws and the prenuptial agreement, legal experts suggested that McIlroy&#8217;s estimated $87 million in career earnings might not be seriously impacted if they were to get divorced. However, this isn&#8217;t the first time McIlroy&#8217;s personal life has crossed with his professional career. His past relationships, including those with childhood sweetheart Holly Sweeney and tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, ended abruptly, sometimes coinciding with major tournaments.
As McIlroy returns to competition at the Scottish Open, the golfer&#8217;s resilience, evident in his return to the links after the U.S. Open disappointment, seems to extend beyond the fairways. "I&#8217;ve shown my resilience over and over again in the last 17 years," McIlroy said in a recent statement, "and I will again."
