Wilmington, September 27 Elon Musk is scheduled to be questioned under oath by Twitter Inc lawyers on Oct. 6-7 as the social media company prepares for a trial next month over the billionaire''s bid to walk away from a $44 billion takeover, according to a Tuesday court filing. Musk''s deposition was originally scheduled for this week but sources close to the litigation said on Monday that the timing of the interview was always subject to change given the fast-tracked nature of the litigation. The two sides are conducting dozens of depositions and reviewing thousands of documents and communications in preparation for the five-day trial starting Oct. 17 in Wilmington, Delaware. Later on Tuesday, Twitter will ask Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick to punish Musk, who is chief executive of automotive company Tesla Inc, for his legal team''s alleged disregard of court orders to turn over Musk''s messages about his decision to end the deal. Musk''s response to Twitter''s motion was filed under seal. His lawyers have said in the past that the social media company was accusing Musk of withholding documents and messages to distract the court from the company''s own discovery abuses.

Northern Mexico Runs Out Of Water, May Impact Beer Production Extreme drought in northern Mexico has sparked a water crisis. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador addressed the beer industry in the region to shift production elsewhere because of sustainability factors, reported Bloomberg . The water crisis is particularly critical in Monterrey, one of Mexico''s most important economic hubs and home to some of the largest beermakers in the world, such as Heineken NV. Some neighborhoods in Monterrey have been without water for nearly three months, and Heineken''s facility has suffered as waterways dry up. Residents have protested commercial districts due to their oversized demand for local water. Monterrey Mexico is having a water crisis. Protestors blocked traffic. Looks like America will need more warehouses. International supply chains are not predictable. pic.twitter.com/olKErrFRpP — Daniel Spenrath (@Daniel_Spenrath) June 24, 2022 Lopez Obrador said the government would support a transition of the beer industry from the northern part of the country to the south or southeast, where water supplies are more abundant. "This is not to say we won''t produce any more beer, it''s to say that we won''t produce beer in the north -- that''s over," the president said Monday at a daily press conference. "If they want to keep producing beer, increasing production, then all the support for the south or southeast." Lopez Obrador said Constellation Brands is the perfect example of how his administration directed the brewer to halt the construction of a beer plant in the border city of Mexicali because of water shortages.

Building systems maker Acuity Brands (AYI) recently released its earnings report. The news was good by all accounts. However, success for Acuity here will depend on a lot of things going just right, and that''s usually not a strategy to count on succeeding. Therefore, I''m neutral on AYI and will not be joining in on buying the stock. While Acuity is somewhat narrow in its focus—it mainly produces systems in lighting controls and building management operations—it still has a decent value proposition, going forward. With a few minor adjustments to its marketing, it may be able to position itself well going into a likely recession.
Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock Canopy Growth (NASDAQ: CGC ) stock is falling on Thursday following an update that Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ ) has reached an agreement to eliminate its Class B shares . This agreement was suggested by a committee made up of independent directors from Constellation’s Board. That has the company’s Board advising shareholders to vote in favor of eliminating its Class B shares. Constellation Brands says that this agreement was reached with members of the Sands Family. If approved, it would result in Class B shareholders having to trade in their stock for cash or a mix of stock and cash. The company is offering up to $1.5 billion in cash, or one share of STZ stock and $64.64 in cash for each share of Class B stock converted. So what does this have to do with Canopy Growth?
