Avangrid executives once hoped to get state permits for their giant power line in western Maine by the end of the year. That turned out to be wishful thinking. Maine's Public Utilities Commission issued a new timeline Friday for its review of the 145-mile project, which would bring power from Hydro-Quebec's dams in Canada to Massachusetts. Now, the commission is shooting for March. This is just the latest delay. A separate review, by state environmental regulators, was already expected to spill well into 2019. The slowdown has emboldened opponents. This group includes unlikely allies: local power plant owners concerned about competition that's essentially subsidized by Massachusetts ratepayers, and environmentalists worried about the impact on woodlands and renewable energy sources. With each delay, the critics get more hopeful for a "Northern Pass scenario" — that is, death by regulatory scrutiny.

Rating agency Moody's on Tuesday placed Yes Bank under review for downgrade, owing to the private-sector lender's exposure to weak companies in the financial sector. The ongoing liquidity pressure on the country's finance companies is likely to impact credit profile, the rating agency also said in a note. The private sector lender has 'sizeable exposure' to weaker non banking financial companies (NBFCs), it added. "The review for downgrade takes into account Moody's expectation that the ongoing liquidity pressure on Indian finance companies will negatively impact the credit profile of Yes Bank, given the bank's sizeable exposure to weaker companies in the sector," the rating agency added. The global rating agency also said that it may downgrade rating if bank's capital ratio declines on its inability to raise capital.

Shares of Nectar Lifesciences Ltd continued their downward trajectory, hitting the 5% lower circuit on Tuesday, extending their losses to 10% over the past two days. The decline comes after the company disclosed receiving seven regulatory observations, including four critical ones, following an inspection of its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing facility in Punjab. The inspection, conducted jointly by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) and the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS), evaluated the facility's compliance with European Good Manufacturing Practices (EuGMP). The regulators flagged multiple compliance issues, raising concerns over the company's ability to maintain uninterrupted supply to European markets. The stock has been under pressure as investors react to the regulatory findings, with uncertainty looming over potential corrective measures and their financial implications.

TD Cowen analyst Max Rakhlenko told clients that Home Depot is "better positioned to manage tariffs," as its Pro business makes up 50% of its customer business, compared to Lowe's, which has a 20% exposure to Chinese goods and a larger DIY customer base. Another factor weighing on the retailer is the sluggish housing market, which Home Depot has called out in recent quarters. Homebuilder confidence continued to deteriorate in May, falling six points to 34 from the month prior, indicating that more builders view conditions as poor rather than good.

By David Berman Despite a positive backdrop in Europe – where Germany and France have agreed on a way to better integrate the European economy and Italy announced new austerity plans – Standard & Poor's looks set to interrupt the party. According to The Financial Times, the credit rating agency will announce later on Monday that it is putting Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Luxembourg on "creditwatch negative." The big surprise here is that these nations are the region's fiscal winners. That means there is a chance that Germany and other top-rated countries could see their credit ratings taken down a notch within 90 days, to AA+ from triple-A. The reason for the warning? The Times quoted S&P as saying that with Germany it is concerned about "the potential impact (...) of what we view as deepening political, financial, and monetary problems with the European economic and monetary union." In other words, there are contagion fears at work here.

The ratings agency Moody's has downgraded South Africa's sovereign debt rating. The move comes after similar downgrades from Fitch and Standard and Poor's. The South African economy has been struggling of late, amid industrial action on the platinum mines earlier this year and recent electricity blackouts. South Africa's economy narrowly avoided recession in the first half of the year. Moody's downgraded South Africa one notch to Baa2, just two notches above "junk status." While South Africa retains an investment grade, Moody's said its decision was based on "poor medium-term growth prospects due to structural weaknesses, including ongoing energy shortages as well as rising interest rates."

Asian chipmakers' shares were by and large steady on Friday, with TSMC falling 1.6% and Samsung dropping 1%, slightly underperforming the broader market. LONGER TERM THREAT The Nvidia deal could put Intel's next-generation manufacturing technology on a stronger footing, helping it revive its fortunes after years of turnaround efforts failed to pay off. Intel warned in July that it may have to get out of the chip manufacturing business if it does not land external customers to make chips in its factories. While the new agreement will not involve Intel's contract chip manufacturing business making computing chips for Nvidia, some investors expect their partnership could one day develop into manufacturing deals, potentially a threat to TSMC which currently manufactures Nvidia's flagship processors.

CHENGDU, China, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz will try to reach deeper into China's inland-west region and small "lower-tier" cities for growth as part of a broader turnaround plan for the world's biggest auto market, according to people familiar with the matter. The initiative, due to be detailed by top Mercedes-Benz China executives at the Chengdu auto show on Friday, is a key component of Daimler's strategic plan to invest 2 billion euros ($2.67 billion) in China over the next two years. The German brand aims to boost sales of Mercedes-Benz cars by a third to more than 300,000 cars a year by 2015, from this year's forecast sales of 230,000 cars.

BlackBerry Ltd. ( TSX:BB )(NASDAQ:BBRY) has probably one of the most well-documented and longest turnarounds in recent memory. Even better, depending on who you ask, you can expect widely different answers on the company's turnaround efforts; answers range from "it's already failed" to "it hasn't even started." So why is BlackBerry on the verge of a turnaround? Here are three reasons. 1. BlackBerry's final hardware device could be a winner First and foremost, it comes down to devices, or rather, a lack thereof. Historically, BlackBerry's devices were seen as the envy of the market: high build quality, an iconic keyboard that allowed users to quickly tap out emails, and fairly resilient devices that could be dropped off a second floor or run over by a car and still survive. (BlackBerry owners: please, don't try it). Unfortunately, that couldn't stop BlackBerry from falling further behind the competition.

Dish Network's parent company, Echostar, could be teetering on the brink of bankruptcy as a crucial debt swap deal hangs in the balance. The satellite TV provider faces a November 22nd deadline to secure agreement from remaining bondholders on a debt restructuring plan, or risk jeopardizing a proposed merger with DirecTV and potentially facing financial collapse. The situation stems from a planned acquisition by DirecTV, announced in September, which would see the two struggling pay-TV giants combine forces to combat the rise of streaming services. DirecTV agreed to acquire Dish for a nominal fee while assuming nearly $10 billion of its debt, contingent on a debt exchange offer being accepted by Dish bondholders. However, the offer, which required bondholders to accept a $1.5 billion reduction in their holdings, was initially rejected, throwing the merger into jeopardy.

The court's remarks come as regulatory scrutiny is increasing on the Adani Group. Reuters reported on Friday, citing sources, that SEBI is investigating Adani Group's links to some of the investors in the conglomerate's aborted $2.5 billion share sale. MSCI said that, in addition to the group's flagship firm Adani Enterprises, it planned to cut index weightings for Adani Total Gas - a venture with France's TotalEnergies - and Adani Transmission, a power transmission company.

With documents leaked by whistle-blowers revealing several alleged questionable and unethical behaviours perpetuated by Facebook in search of profits causing the largest sell-off this year – followed by a strong rebound, investors and traders alike have had ample opportunities for profit taking. Facebook seems to be taking a leaf from Alphabet (Google's holding company) book to fend off increased regulatory scrutiny which would help to avoid a break-up of their companies (the WhatsApp and Instagram businesses) from its core Facebook application. Mark Zuckerberg is also looking to propel Facebook as the vanguard into the "Metaverse" – basically it is his ambition for Facebook to eventually be known better for its involvement in the metaverse, the next evolution in online connectivity with people living, working and interacting in an immersive virtual world. Reminds one of the movie Ready Player One, the sci-fi movie which came out in 2018.

USAA's troubles hit a new low when S&P Global Ratings downgraded its financial strength rating from AA+ to AA, following Moody's decision to drop USAA's rating from Aaa to Aa1 on May 19. The culprit? Persistent issues with USAA Federal Savings Bank, which has attracted regulatory scrutiny and suffered financial losses. S&P pointed to "new or continuing violations of law, rule, or regulation" flagged by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in December 2024, noting that the bank's compliance failures have eroded USAA's overall earnings diversity. Up until 2020, the bank contributed roughly $1 billion annually to USAA's pretax income, but since then it has posted average annual losses of $236 million. These financial stumbles, combined with a weakened resilience compared to peers, led to the downgrade.

At Boeing's late April shareholder meeting in Chicago, 34.8% of shareholders voted for a measure to divide the role of Chairman and CEO, both of which are currently held by Dennis Muilenburg. Splitting leadership roles into standalone positions has long been a hotly debated corporate governance issue, and every year, a flurry of proposals appears during proxy season, few of which actually win. But in Boeing's case, considering this year's proposal gained almost 10 points more than the previous year's proposal, shareholders signaled that they're pretty worried about the level of oversight at the company.

Rating agency Fitch has downgraded IDBI Bank's individual rating to 'D' from 'C/D' and also its Rs 1,500-crore Upper Tier-II subordinated bond programme to 'AA-(ind)' from 'AA(ind)'. The performance of the Mumbai-based public sector bank may continue to lag behind its peers longer than expected due to the deterioration in its credit cycle, the agency said. Even though the bank's non-performing asset ratios improved significantly after bad loans worth Rs 9,000 crore were transferred to a trust in FY04, the current economic slowdown could impact the bank's corporate loan portfolio. Some project loans had to be restructured in the past and could impact asset quality again in the present downturn, Fitch said in its rating review. IDBI's net interest margins have gradually improved, but are likely to remain the lowest amongst domestic banks for the next one to two years due its small base of low-cost deposits.

In September, Moody's, another ratings agency had said that a ratings upgrade for India would not be possible before the next couple of years. This was just ahead of the agency's representatives meeting finance ministry officials. Policymakers were miffed at Moody's making such statements even before meeting them and Das told the representatives that he had serious concerns regarding the agency's methodology. He told them that, under the circumstances, the meeting was "completely irrelevant and superfluous". S&P said the upward pressure on credit ratings could emerge if the government reforms improve India's fiscal performance and pushes down the level of net general government debt below 60 per cent of the GDP. Currently, government debt amounts to about 69 per cent of the GDP. Downward pressure on the ratings could re-emerge if growth disappoints as a result of stalling reforms or if interest rate-setting monetary policy committee does not achieve inflation targets.

Addressing a conference on banking today, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke restated the Fed's concerns that mortgage lending standards remain too tight. While a return to "pre-crisis lending standards" for home loans "wouldn't be appropriate," Bernanke said current standards "may be limiting or preventing lending to many creditworthy borrowers." A recent Fed survey showed banks are less willing to originate loans that meet Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's minimum credit scores than they were in 2006 — in some cases, even when borrowers make 20 percent down payments. The reason, Bernanke said, is the risk that Fannie and Freddie will make them buy back defaulted loans if the underwriting or documentation is judged deficient. In a Jan. 4 white paper, the Federal Reserve outlined what it sees as "extraordinary problems plaguing the housing market," including an excess supply of vacant homes, tight mortgage credit, and the costs of an "unwieldy and inefficient" foreclosure process.

Boeing's announcement reveals deep-rooted issues across its commercial and defense segments. The 777X delay to 2026 is particularly concerning, as it's been plagued by development challenges and regulatory scrutiny. This pushback could benefit Airbus, potentially allowing them to gain ground in the wide-body market. The decision to end 767 Freighter production, while maintaining the KC-46A Tanker line, shows a strategic pivot towards defense contracts. However, the mention of "substantial new losses" in BDS is alarming, suggesting systemic issues in program management and cost control. The 10% workforce reduction is a double-edged sword - it may improve efficiency but could also lead to loss of critical expertise. These changes indicate a company in crisis mode, attempting to streamline operations and cut costs. The success of these measures will be important for Boeing's long-term competitiveness in the aerospace industry.

Shopify is beloved in Canada for wonderful reasons. But if there's anything we have learned about the recent tech-lash that saw the industry's stock plunge, it's that high valuations often mask a lot of problems. It may be that Shopify's weakened stock price will make the company more vulnerable to the kind of critical examination that other technology giants rightfully receive.

And added, "We could not be more excited to have partnered with GrowGeneration to gain this unprecedented view into such an interesting market segment." "Cultivators are getting much more sophisticated at scaling their businesses and navigating the various compliance issues, and this is transferring to the product side as a result. We have seen products taken off the shelves because they did not comply with regulations, and we will see more of that as states get more involved in how the plants are being cultivated and what fertilizers are being used. It is exciting to see the new innovative products that are coming to market to meet the increasingly nuanced demands of cultivators and consumers.

Nvidia isn't just leading - it's dominating. With a $4 trillion market cap, equal to 3.6% of global GDP, Nvidia commands a chokehold on AI infrastructure. The stock's trajectory reflects this transformation. Momentum remains firmly bullish: analysts are pushing targets to $200–$235, and demand shows no signs of cooling. Technically, Nvidia still rides the wave. But make no mistake, this is not without risk. Its dependence on TSMC, growing regulatory scrutiny, and the specter of real competition could flip the script fast. Still, this isn't just another chip rally. It's a global capital rotation into AI, and Nvidia, for now, owns the rails.

By Sudip Kar-Gupta LONDON (Reuters) - Credit rating agency Moody's downgraded Britain's part-nationalized banks Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland on Friday, although Britain's finance minister said UK banks were well-placed to cope with a European debt crisis. The cuts to RBS and Lloyds formed part of a broader downgrade of 12 British financial companies by Moody's, which had already been flagged by the agency earlier in the year. Moody's cut RBS by two notches to A2 from Aa3, and downgraded Lloyds TSB by one notch to A1 from Aa3.

The sponsorships, valued in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, funded advertising campaigns, pharmacist training and the creation of patient resources. In return, pharmacies supplied Novo Nordisk with detailed reports on prescription numbers, advertising performance and patient demographics. While Novo Nordisk insists these sponsorships adhered to industry standards, critics have raised concerns about the ethical implications of such financial ties. The company's sponsorship practices also drew regulatory scrutiny. In 2022, Novo Nordisk signed a $119,000 (95,000 pounds) deal with Boots to fund training and advertising for its weight-loss services. Additional deals with other pharmacies provided free supplies and marketing materials. However, in October 2024, the UK's Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) ruled that these arrangements violated industry codes, citing a lack of partnership independence and inadequate safeguards against incentivizing prescriptions.
