Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) shares<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday"> skyrocketed on Thursday</a> after Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) assured investors it would not drop its majority stake in the Israeli autonomous driving company.
Mobileye gained 14.99% to close at $13.35 on Thursday, marking its largest intraday jump since late October 2022.
&#8220;We currently do not have any plans to divest a majority interest in the company,&#8221; Intel said in a statement.
&#8220;By providing Mobileye with separation and autonomy, we have enhanced its ability to capitalize on growth opportunities and accelerate its path to creating even greater value.&#8221;

Intel, which holds an 88% stake in Mobileye, said it believes in the future of autonomous driving technology and in Mobileye's &#8220;unique role as a leader&#8221; in developing advanced driver assistance systems.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has been changing his company's operations and showed more of his plans earlier this week to get the troubled chipmaker back on track, including pausing building factories in Germany and Poland and turning its manufacturing sector into a wholly owned subsidiary, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-19/mobileye-jumps-after-intel-says-it-won-t-divest-majority-stake?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>.
Intel discussed possibly selling some its Mobileye stake either on the public market or through a third-party sale, Bloomberg reported earlier this month.
Mobileye, which provides both software and hardware for self-driving systems, was acquired by Intel in 2017 for about $15 billion. It had an initial public offering in 2022, but Intel held most of the stake.

David Goubert has resigned as president and CEO of Ayr Wellness Inc. (CSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYR#CSE">AYR</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>), a Miami-based cannabis multistate operator, after less than a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ayr-wellness">year in the role. </a>
Goubert, who joined the company as president in October of 2022 and took over as CEO in February 2023, is the latest in a series of executive departures at the company, MJBizDaily <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/cannabis-operator-ayr-wellness-loses-ceo-david-goubert/">reported.</a>

The resignation was announced alongside Ayr&#8217;s second-quarter earnings report, which revealed a slight dip in earnings and growing net losses. 
Ayr's board of directors has initiated a search for a permanent CEO, while Steven Cohen, previously an external legal adviser, will serve as interim CEO.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are Leadership Changes Enough?</h3>
In the second quarter of 2024, the company reported a slight decrease in revenue, down 0.6% from the previous quarter to $117.3 million. 
While the MSO managed to reduce its overall expenses, net losses increased to $38 million, a significant jump from the $29 million reported a year earlier.
The company has been attempting to stabilize its financial footing amid these losses. As Goubert explained before his resignation, Ayr was focused on "laying the groundwork for Ayr's next phase of growth."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Interim Leadership</h3>
Cohen, who will assume the role of interim CEO, brings a legal and corporate governance background but lacks direct cannabis industry experience. He is a founding member of Blue Raven, a New York-based legal advisory firm specializing in strategic corporate advice and general counsel services.
Cohen's appointment follows another notable departure, Jonathan Sandelman, who stepped down as director and executive chair in July, marking the second high-profile exit within just a few months.

West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. ("West Fraser" or the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFG#NYSE">WFG</a>) announced today that it will indefinitely curtail its sawmill in Lake Butler, Florida by the end of this month. Today's decision is the result of high fiber costs and soft lumber markets.
The indefinite curtailment of Lake Butler Sawmill will impact approximately 130 employees and reduce West Fraser's U.S. lumber capacity by approximately 110 million board feet. West Fraser expects to mitigate the impact on affected employees by providing work opportunities at other company operations.
High fiber costs at Lake Butler and the current low-price commodity environment have impaired the ability to profitably operate the mill. The indefinite curtailment of Lake Butler sawmill better aligns our U.S. lumber capacity with demand.
West Fraser anticipates taking an impairment charge in the third quarter of 2024 associated with the announcement.
