Shares of Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>) are volatile Tuesday after the company announced a significant restructuring of its business operations. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAXN/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Maxeon Solar announced plans to focus exclusively on the U.S. market, citing its established presence and a planned local manufacturing facility as key elements for growth.
As part of the restructuring, Maxeon has signed a five-year lease for a facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company aims to begin solar panel production at this site in 2026 with an initial planned capacity of 2 gigawatts. This marks the company&#8217;s first step in a broader initiative to establish a domestic solar panel supply chain.
&#8220;As Maxeon intensifies its focus on the U.S. market, our priority is to further expand our growing residential and commercial partner network and support our well-established base of utility-scale customers,&#8221; said George Guo, Maxeon&#8217;s CEO.

In a move to exit other international markets, Maxeon has reached agreements in principle with TCL Technology Group, its majority shareholder, to sell its sales and marketing operations in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. TCL plans to integrate the operations into a new unit called TCL SunPower International, which will also acquire Maxeon's manufacturing operations in the Philippines.
Following the transactions, Maxeon will focus solely on the U.S. residential, commercial and utility-scale solar markets. The restructuring aligns with the company&#8217;s strategy to strengthen its U.S. operations and prioritize domestic solar supply chain development.
The agreements between Maxeon and TCL are expected to be finalized by the end of 2024, with the Albuquerque project contingent on securing financing.
&#8220;This strategic re-focusing of our business is designed to keep us closer and more attuned to the needs of our U.S. customer base, allowing us to leverage Maxeon&#8217;s deep experience and top-tier reputation for product innovation and quality that are a result of almost 40 years of technology leadership and investments in intellectual property,&#8221; Guo added.
MAXN Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/maxn">Maxeon Solar shares</a> initially traded up above $10 per share before reversing course and turning negative. The stock was down 3.76% at $7.68 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

What's Going On With Maxeon Solar Technologies Stock Today?

Billionaire Elon Musk surprised many people when he bought social media platform Twitter in 2022, and he could be back with another media acquisition in 2025. In a post, he asked about the price of Comcast Corporation&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) cable assets, ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42081224/comcast-plans-major-cable-networks-spinoff-msnbc-and-cnbc-to-form-new-public-company-report">a planned spinoff.</a>
What Happened: Musk spent $44 billion to acquire Twitter, now known as X, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">back in 2022</a>. The move added to the portfolio of companies owned or controlled by the world's richest man.
Musk could have his eyes set on the cable assets of Comcast Corporation being spun off, which include MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and Golf Channel. Comcast will keep ownership of the NBC broadcast network, Bravo, NBC Sports, Peacock streaming platform and Universal theme parks.
While Comcast has not placed MSNBC or other assets for sale, choosing instead to spin them off as a separate company, Musk has expressed interest either jokingly or as a foreshadowing of an eventual purchase.
"How much does it cost?" Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1860037420710080687">tweeted </a>in reply to a post from Donald Trump Jr. saying he had "the funniest idea ever."
Trump Jr. shared a post suggesting that Comcast was looking for a buyer of MSNBC.
While Musk has spoken ill of the "mainstream media" for many years, a purchase of MSNBC or the cable assets from Comcast wouldn't be a huge surprise at this point, given his past purchase of Twitter.
Musk <a href="https://x.com/redletterdave/status/1518585718012059648">posted </a>that he loved Twitter on Dec. 21, 2017, which prompted a user to say "you should buy it then." Musk responded "how much is it" and that post preceded Musk's eventual acquisition of the company.
The billionaire has often said "the most entertaining outcome is the most likely" and an acquisition of MSNBC would certainly be entertaining.
Prediction market Polymarket has a betting market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-elon-musk-buy-msnbc-before-april-2025">open </a>for "Will Elon Musk buy MSNBC?" The market, which has around $520,000 wagered, currently shows a 15% chance that Musk buys MSNBC. The market, which opened for trading on Nov. 22, hit a high of 19% on Nov. 23. The prediction market shows a low probability of Musk announcing an acquisition.
On Polymarket, users deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Winning wagers cash out at $1 per contract.
The market will resolve as &#8220;Yes&#8221; if Musk or a Musk-controlled entity announced a plan to acquire MSNBC by March 31, 2025 whether the acquisition has been completed.
<ul>
<li>You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/42144099/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-44">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a></li>
</ul>
Is Musk Serious?: The big question on everyone's mind is whether Musk is serious. Buying MSNBC would add to the billionaire's portfolio of companies and also increase his workload, which comes as he is set to take on a government role co-leading the Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk currently owns or leads X, SpaceX, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), xAI, The Boring Company, Neuralink and more. While some of these companies count on other individuals as CEO or COO to offset Musk's other time commitments, there likely aren't enough hours in the day for Musk to make an impact at all these companies already on the daily.
"My workload went up from 70 to 80 hours a week to probably 120," Musk said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29582707/elon-musks-life-after-twitter-acquisition-i-wake-up-work-go-to-sleep-work-do-that-7-days-a-week-1">after buying Twitter.</a> "Go to sleep, I wake up, work, go to sleep, work, do that 7 days a week."
While Musk is a known workaholic and likely would love the challenge of adding another company to the mix, Tesla shareholders might not love the thought.
As a publicly traded company, Tesla is one of Musk&#8217;s top priorities and frequently faces intense scrutiny for missed milestones and performance targets. If Musk were to devote more time to leading MSNBC after a potential acquisition, it would likely raise concerns among investors and analysts.
Musk is worth $348 billion according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>, making him the richest person in the world. Another key question would be how much cash Musk readily has available or if he would need to borrow against his key holdings or sell Tesla stock to complete the acquisition.
The billionaire<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/10/29444090/musk-hasnt-sold-more-tesla-shares-to-fund-44b-twitter-deal-could-overhang-be-gone"> sold Tesla shares </a>in 2022 to help fund the Twitter acquisition, a move some analysts referred to as an overhang on Tesla stock. Tesla stock was down 65% in 2022, marking the worst year since the company went public and one of only two years the stock has been down since going public in 2010.
Why It's Important: A report from <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/media/elon-musk-msnbc-spinoff-cable/index.html">CNN </a>says that at least one billionaire has reached out to express interest in buying MSNBC and it wasn't Musk.
Comcast has not indicated that MSNBC or its other assets are for sale. With plans already in motion for a tax-free spinoff of a new company to shareholders, it would likely require an exceptionally compelling offer to persuade the board or shareholders to consider an alternative course.
While one unnamed billionaire is interested, another told CNN he has no interest.
"I don't think there is anything anyone can do to change the impact of linear TV news. So the answer is no," Mark Cuban told CNN.
CMCSA Price Action: Comcast stock is down 1.5% to $42.54 on Tuesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $36.43 to $47.11. The stocks' year-to-date and five-year returns of negative 1.1% and negative 2.2%, respectively, have greatly trailed the overall market, with the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust up 26.4% year-to-date and up 90.1% over the last five years.

CIMG Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 63.5%

You know you've made it when your real estate purchases are decided by their proximity to your sports teams. That was the position former<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/short-sellers/24/11/41981181/how-is-the-market-feeling-about-ebay"> eBay</a> President Jeff Skoll found himself in recently when he purchased a $17 million compound in McLean, VA – to be closer to the Washington Capitals NHL team, of which he is a part-owner.

<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a></li>

</ul>
For Skoll, a Canadian billionaire and former ice hockey youth player, trading sports (he headed eBay from 1996 to 1998) for business proved to be a proactive move. However, his love of the game never left and he purchased a stake in the Capitals two years ago.&nbsp;
"I decided it would be great to have a home in the area so I could be there more often," Skoll, 59, told the Wall Street Journal.
A guesthouse For $6.5 Million
Skoll's purchase in the coveted D.C. suburb was not isolated. It includes multiple parcels amounting to nine acres and features a $10.5 million spec mansion – an 11,600-square-foot house sheathed in blue stone with wood siding and a metal roof – built by Artisan Builders on roughly an acre of land in McLean's West Langley area. Renderings of the mansion went on the market in August.
Rather than live close to the construction, as billionaires do, Skoll purchased another home, Elmwood, for $6.5 million. This adjacent 8-acre estate was owned by the family of late TV newscaster Roger Mudd, who passed away in 2021. Skoll may use Elmwood as a guesthouse when his new property is completed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A History Of High-End Homes</h2>
The Virginia property will not be Skoll's primary residence despite the cash outlay. That honor goes to a Manalapan, Fla., estate he purchased for under $90 million in 2021.
Skoll is not known for dealing in low-key real estate. In 2016, he sold his $20 million Los Altos, CA, home in the heart of Silicon Valley. The custom estate, built in 1990, included eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, an eight-car garage, seven fireplaces and over 100 mature trees on three-plus acres.
Skoll also owned two homes in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/40957620/celebrity-property-portfolios-soar-with-bezos-and-oprah-tied-for-the-top-spot"> Beverly Hills</a>, which he purchased in 2014 and sold in 2022 for a combined price of $33 million. According to The Real Deal, Palo Alto firm Capricorn Investment Group, which manages Skoll's investment portfolio, sold a 7,500-square-foot mansion at 1118 Calle Vista Drive and a smaller Tudor-style home at 1116 Calle Vista Drive.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From e-Commerce To Hollywood</h2>
Skoll made the bulk of his fortune working alongside founder and friend Pierre Omidyar, firstly out of Omidyar's basement and later Skoll's living room. "We were on a rocket ride from 1996 when we teamed up until 1998 when we were getting ready to go public," he told the Wall Street Journal.
He stayed at eBay until the early 2000s when he<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-does-ipo-mean"> took the company public</a>. He has also scored recent successes through Participant Media, a film and TV production company that aims to tell impactful stories. Notable films include "Spotlight," "The Help," "Lincoln," "An Inconvenient Truth," and "Wonder."
