Trying to conserve cash, AOL Time Warner and the Walt Disney Corporation have revived long-running talks about combining their CNN and ABC News operations into a joint venture in an effort to cut costs, people involved in the talks said yesterday. Both companies are more motivated to reach an agreement than ever because they are suffering through a prolonged downturn in advertising sales while under pressure from investors and credit-rating agencies to pay down their debts. The discussions also take place at a time when the top executives of both AOL Time Warner and Disney are under particular pressure from shareholders and directors to improve their results. The talks reached a new level of seriousness about three weeks ago, only to founder over questions about the size of each side's stake in the possible joint venture and the degree of each side's editorial control over its news.

The companies established a U.S. joint venture last December to develop a Truvada-Sustiva pill. Gilead said the first formulation failed because the Sustiva levels measured in patients' blood were too low. Because blood levels of Sustiva in the combination pill were less than those of Sustiva alone, the experimental pill failed to achieve bioequivalence. The companies must meet this standard to convince the FDA to approve the new pill. The companies say a once-a-day combination pill "may help simplify HIV therapy."

Image Credits: Amazon The acquisition is pending the standard regulatory scrutiny. The companies will have to convince regulators — among other things — that they are maintaining the proper privacy safeguards.

By Nupur Anand, Chris Thomas and Anshuman Daga MUMBAI/BENGALURU/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - DBS Group's move to take over troubled Lakshmi Vilas Bank will give Southeast Asia's largest lender the boost in India it has long desired, but aligning the two banks' business cultures could prove tricky. LVB, facing mounting bad loans and governance issues and a failure to secure capital, is set to be folded into DBS's Indian subsidiary under a plan proposed by India's central bank, which took control of the 94-year old Chennai-based lender on Tuesday, citing a "serious deterioration" in its finances. The plan will accelerate Singapore-based DBS's expansion ambitions in India and potentially transform it from a largely digital bank in the country to one with hundreds of branches. DBS currently has just over 30 branches in India, while LVB has more than 550, and 900-plus ATMs. | forward | finance.yahoo.com | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dbs-faces-potential-culture-clash-141634073.html |

THE two major financial ratings agencies have reacted very differently to tougher regulatory scrutiny stemming from the spotlight being cast by the global financial crisis on their poor performance and structural conflicts of interest. Our local regulator last week followed the lead provided by offshore regulators and moved to tighten the rules under which these bodies operate. Standard & Poor's reacted this week by announcing it would pull out of rating securities that were available to retail investors, saying that it could not accept the new onerous rules. There were suggestions that Moody's would follow suit. Instead it announced yesterday that it would effectively downgrade all the Australian and New Zealand banking hybrids that it had previously rated. Rather than calling this a response to new ASIC requirements, the Moody's announcement suggests that bank hybrids are riskier due to general regulatory changes applying to financial institutions - around capital and liquidity - in the wake of the crisis. | not-forward | www.smh.com.au | https://www.smh.com.au/business/moodys-will-play-but-sp-takes-its-bat-and-ball-20091119-ip0r.html |

Vice president and senior credit officer at the ratings agency Paul Marty said: "The rating downgrade reflects Moody's view that the group's action plan announced on 22 April 2016 will not be sufficient to fully offset the pressures resulting from a low power price environment combined with a significant investment programme." The plan included commitments to reduce annual operating costs by €1 billion (£790 million) by 2019 and sell off assets worth €10 billion (£7.9 billion) by 2020.

SpiceJet's trouble, however, needs to be read in the context of the broader downturn in the sector. Most Indian airlines were loss-making ventures even before the pandemic hit. No-frill carriers such as IndiGo and SpiceJet were exceptions. However, restrictions on air travel over the last one year have meant trouble even for India's top domestic airline—IndiGo.

Fitch analysts wrote in a statement, "We no longer expect revenue to demonstrate any clear signs of franchise recovery this year, and we expect necessary further restructuring costs to continue to erode net income." They also believe that the loss in market share experienced by the bank last year because the clients stopped doing business with the lender, as they were doubtful about the bank's capital strength, will take more time to reverse. Low volatility and interest rates in Europe will continue to affect the bank's revenues. Though the rating for Deutsche Bank was reduced from A- to BBB+, the outlook was set to stable by Fitch. Moody's Investor Services has rated the bank's credit Baa2 since May 2016, whereas S&P Global Inc. raised their rating to A- from BBB+ this March, stating that a retroactive change in German Law will protect senior creditors. | forward | www.zacks.com | https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/277538/deutsche-banks-rating-downgraded-by-fitch-outlook-stable |

In 2019, when Meta's Facebook first unveiled the idea of its stable digital currencies — stablecoins — aimed at revolutionizing global financial services, they did so in collaboration with dozens of other companies. But the consortium wasn't enough to protect the project from worldwide regulatory scrutiny. After Zuckerberg was called to testify, some partners abandoned the project and it changed its name to Diem. Diem's ambitions scaled back and its founder, David Marcus, left Meta last year.

For example, Nuveen employs an ESG rating to capture an issuer's performance on key ESG risks relative to peers, a controversy score that captures an issuer's exposure and response to event-driven controversies, a controversial business investment component that captures an issuer's activity in industries that may cause significant social harm and low-carbon criteria that captures the carbon intensity of an issuer based on involvement in specific industries. | not-forward | www.nasdaq.com | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/building-durable-income-for-todays-markets-2020-09-30 |
Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)'s shares took a hit on Tuesday, underperforming the S&P 500's 0.6% decline with a drop of 2.4%. The downturn comes in the wake of a rating downgrade by TD Cowen, driven by apprehensions about potential difficulties in the company's operations in China. TD Cowen analyst, Andrew Charles, revised his evaluation of Starbucks' shares from Outperform to Market Perform on Tuesday. He also reduced his price target from $117 to $107, primarily due to concerns that complications in China could significantly affect Starbucks' stock performance in the near future. Charles highlighted that Starbucks' business narrative for investors would be heavily influenced by China's situation. He cited increased competition in Starbucks' second biggest market as lower-cost alternatives are swiftly gaining a larger market share. In addition to competition, China is currently navigating an economic downturn following the pandemic, which has put financial strain on consumers. | not-forward | finance.yahoo.com | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/starbucks-shares-dip-amid-concerns-112717313.html |

Get the report below. The Financial Times reports from Tokyo that credit rating agency Fitch has slashed Sony's credit rating down by three notches from 'BBB-' to 'BB-', citing the company's lack of influence over the technology market, lack of strong products, the strong Yen, and fierce competition posed by Apple and Samsung.

To believe in Morgan Stanley as a shareholder, you need confidence in its ability to leverage global wealth growth and client demand for comprehensive financial services, while adapting to rapid shifts in regulation and technology. The recent Fed-driven rally and Morgan Stanley's dividend announcements may support short-term optimism, especially in lending and fixed-income, but do not eliminate the broad risks posed by passive investing shifts and increased regulatory scrutiny.

Revenue from Baidu's services other than online marketing totaled 6.1 billion yuan, up 22% year-on-year, helped by a 31% increase in revenue from its cloud business, while revenue from its video streaming unit iQiyi declined 13% year-on-year to 6.7 billion yuan, according to the company. | not-forward | www.caixinglobal.com | https://www.caixinglobal.com/2022-08-31/baidu-swings-back-to-profit-even-as-revenue-slips-101933809.html |
Qantas has had a similar arrangement with Finnair for flights to Bangkok and Singapore since October 2023, but this wet lease will convert to a "dry lease"– where Qantas will use their own locally based crew and maintain the aircraft itself from next year. Qantas' share price closed 4 per cent lower at $7.12 on Tuesday following the announcement. Virgin is yet to confirm the timeline of the Qatar agreement beyond saying flights would ideally commence in mid-July, pending ACCC approval. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said it wasn't appropriate to preempt regulatory scrutiny of the proposed deal while Opposition leader Peter Dutton issued his support. "I will say, more broadly, we do want to see a strong, competitive airline industry that delivers for consumers," Chalmers said. | forward | www.smh.com.au | https://www.smh.com.au/link/follow-20170101-p5kezq |
Rothman lowered her same-store estimates for Darden, Brinker ( EAT ) and Cheesecake Factory on June 13 because of the slowing casual-dining results reflected by the Knapp-Track Index. Demand has had a "sharp deceleration" so far this quarter compared with the prior period, which creates underperformance risk for Dallas-based Brinker and Cheesecake Factory, based in Calabasas Hills, California — one reason for her "neutral" recommendations on these companies. | not-forward | wallstreetpit.com | https://wallstreetpit.com/93142-casual-restaurant-stocks-rally-even-with-weak-u-s-demand |

Hasnain, also Moody's lead analyst for IOI said "IOI's Baa2 rating incorporates our expectations that IOI will take a prudent approach to any investment and shareholder returns, such that it does not materially weaken its credit profile, with adjusted leverage -- as measured by adjusted debt/EBITDA -- remaining below the 3.5 times downgrade trigger on a sustained basis." IOI has thus far not spent any of the RM960mil earmarked for future investments, from the RM3.8bil it received from asset sales in 2018. IOI also reduced its first interim dividend for the fiscal year ended June 2019 (fiscal 2019) to RM220mil from RM283mil in fiscal 2018 in light of weak palm oil prices. "The rating also considers IOI's moderate exposure to environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks as follows," the rating agency said. Firstly, the increasing stakeholder scrutiny around environmental and social risks associated with the palm oil sector. | forward | www.thestar.com.my | https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2019/07/03/moodys-affirms-ioi-corps-ratings-maintains-stable-outlook |
However, it eventually walked away from that deal due to Tencent's shift in strategy, as well as mounting regulatory scrutiny and an expected lengthy review process, one of the sources who had direct knowledge of the matter said. The sources said that Tencent had advised most of the unit's staff to seek other opportunities, confirming a Thursday report from Chinese tech news outlet 36Kr. Tencent declined to comment on the Black Shark deal and whether Beijing's scrutiny had soured the deal. Regarding the status of the XR unit, the company referred to a statement to Reuters on Thursday that said it was making adjustments to some business teams as development plans for hardware had changed. The company also said on Thursday that it was not disbanding the XR unit. Tencent shares slipped as much as 2.5% after Reuters' report. | not-forward | finance.yahoo.com | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-tencent-scraps-plans-vr-065951962.html |

The streaming platforms of Warner Bros. Discovery that include HBO, HBO Max and Discovery+, which will soon be combined into one streaming platform, ended the third quarter fiscal 2022 with a combined net add of 2.8 million global subscribers, bringing the total to 94.9 million, up 3% from the previous quarter. Though there was growth seen in the subscriptions, it did not meet the anticipations of Wall Street, which projected a net add of 3.27 million subscribers, per TechCrunch. This was mostly due to the compromise done on the pipeline of movies and shows to curb expenses that drew viewers away from the streaming platform. | not-forward | www.zacks.com | https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2042537/warner-bros-discoverys-wbd-hbo-cancels-gossip-girl-reboot |
