The recently passed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is considered the signature legislative achievement of Donald Trump’s second term. This comprehensive bill integrates tax reform, national defense, border security, social welfare, and energy policy. Key provisions include: extending and expanding TCJA-related tax cuts and investment incentives, significantly increasing defense and border security spending, cutting back on welfare programs such as Medicaid and food assistance, and shifting energy and environmental policy to support fossil fuel development. The bill is projected to boost U.S. real GDP growth to 0.9% in 2026, though its tax cuts and subsidy reductions are expected to intensify social divisions across the country.

Unlike CPUs and GPUs, ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are pre-configured for specific applications before manufacturing. These chips are highly customized in both design and production, tailored for targeted use cases. ASICs have seen rapid growth in the AI and cloud computing markets. In the context of LLM (Large Language Model) applications, while Nvidia maintains a strong advantage in the training phase through its mature CUDA ecosystem, ASICs are expected to demonstrate significant potential in the inference phase due to their unique product attributes. Over time, a complementary ecosystem is likely to emerge, where ASICs fill specific roles alongside GPUs. This article offers a concise overview of ASIC characteristics, business models, industry landscape, and future outlook.

Constellation Brands (STZ) is a well-known U.S. producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages, with core operations spanning beer, wine, and spirits. Its beer segment continues to show stable growth, while its wine and spirits businesses have shifted focus toward the premium market. In line with evolving consumer trends, the company is also actively expanding into non-alcoholic and functional beverages. In 2017, Constellation invested in cannabis in an effort to enter the cannabis-infused beverage market. However, the market’s performance fell short of expectations, and Canopy has remained unprofitable. In 2024, Constellation further reduced its stake and redirected its focus back to its core business. As the alcoholic beverage industry continues to move upscale, Constellation maintains a competitive edge.
