<p>(Reuters) -Procter & Gamble on Friday beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter revenue and profit, helped by strong demand for its beauty and hair-care products amid higher prices and a broader slowdown in spending due to economic uncertainties.</p>

<p>The Tide maker, a bellwether for the global consumer goods industry, reduced its annual tariff cost estimate to about $400 million after tax, from about $800 million forecast in July, largely on Canada lifting retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.</p>

<p>However, U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday terminated all trade talks with Canada. The Canadian government had no immediate comment.</p>

<p>P&G CFO Andre Schulten said on a media call that "beyond the headlines, we have no information that would have any impact on how we view our tariff exposure at this point in time."</p>

<p>The company's shares were up about 4% in premarket trading. They have fallen about 9% so far this year.</p>

<p>The results from P&G, whose CEO Jon Moeller will be replaced by another company veteran Shailesh Jejurikar on January 1, echo those from rival and Dove parent Unilever, which on Thursday disclosed double-digit sales growth from beauty brands in the U.S.</p>

<p>P&G has raised some prices in the U.S. to help mitigate the impact from tariffs, with the Cincinnati-based company banking on demand for its portfolio of products such as Dawn dish soap and Pampers diapers at a time when discretionary spending remains muted.</p>

<p>It lowered prices in Canada after retaliatory tariffs were canceled.</p>

<p>Despite the price hikes, the company's operating margins fell 50 basis points from a year earlier.</p>

<p>The company is also turning to its fine-tuned strategy of introducing improved products at higher prices, with sales growing in the grooming segment, helped by pricing and volumes.</p>

<p>Sales volumes in the beauty segment, which houses brands such as Pantene shampoo and the Olay brand, rose 4% in the three months ended September, compared with a 1% increase in the prior quarter. Prices in the business were up by about 1% sequentially.</p>

<p>A P&G spokesperson said while underlying market conditions in China were still challenging, with a low level of consumer confidence, the company still managed to report double-digit growth in categories such as baby care, helped by demand for its premium Bum Bum diapers in the country.</p>

<p>Still, overall volumes across the company remained flat as consumers, particularly from lower-income households, have continued to stretch their budgets as higher-priced items hit store shelves.</p>

<p>The results kept the company on track to deliver within its annual targets, which it retained on Friday, "in a challenging consumer and geopolitical environment," Moeller said in a statement.</p>

<p>The company's quarterly revenue grew 3% to $22.39 billion, edging past estimates of a 2% growth to $22.17 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.</p>

<p>Gross margins fell for the third straight quarter, but core earnings per share of $1.99 beat estimates by 9 cents, as higher prices helped offset pressures from the tariffs.</p>

<p>A volatile spending environment globally has also forced the company to pull out of some product segments in certain markets.</p>

<p>The company was exiting the laundry bars business in India and the Philippines, and has closed manufacturing to shift to a distribution model in Pakistan, a company spokesperson told Reuters.</p>

September CPI: Inflation comes in lower than expected but holds firm near 3%

• September CPI: Inflation comes in lower than expected but holds firm near 3%</p>

<p>Alexandra CanalOctober 24, 2025 at 8:34 PM</p>

<p>2</p>

<p>Inflation held stubbornly around 3% in September, government data showed Friday, but came in slightly cooler than analysts expected across the board as investors continue to assess the Federal Reserve's path toward its 2% target.</p>

<p>The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3% year over year in September, up from 2.9% in August but slightly below economists' expectations for a 3.1% increase. That marks the highest reading since May and remains above the 12-month average of 2.7%.</p>

<p>Month over month, prices rose 0.3%, below August's 0.4% rise and also lower than economists' expectations of a 0.4% monthly gain. The rise was driven in part by higher gasoline prices, which climbed 4.1% in September. Still, the year-over-year picture looks more moderate: Gasoline prices were down 0.5% from a year ago, while the broader energy commodities index slipped 0.4%.</p>

<p>"Core" inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy costs, rose 3% year over year in September, down from 3.1% in August and below economists' expectations. On a monthly basis, core prices increased 0.2%, easing from August's 0.3% gain, which was the strongest monthly rise in six months.</p>

<p>Friday's report was delayed by the ongoing government shutdown, now the second-longest shutdown in US history, with no end in sight. It marks the first major piece of federal economic data since the shutdown began.</p>

<p>RSM chief economist Joe Brusuelas called the report "a market positive story," noting, "it's looking better than what we initially expected." But he cautioned that data quality could deteriorate in the months ahead as the shutdown drags on.</p>

<p>"Remember this is likely to be the last solid quality report we get until probably early next spring because of the government shutdown," Brusuelas told Yahoo Finance. "The BLS is going to be imputing or rather guessing at a lot of the estimates that they're making... this in many respects is the last hard data that I'm going to trust probably until early next spring."</p>

<p>He added that inflation, while moderating for now, remains above target.</p>

<p>"Make no mistake about it — inflation's at 3% and it's likely to accelerate higher. It's well above the Fed's 2% rate, and the Fed's got a lot of heavy lifting to do. It's going to be probably a number of years, if ever, before we get back to 2%."</p>

<p>Despite still-stubborn prices in September, markets continue to expect the Fed will deliver a quarter-point cut at next week's policy meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.</p>

<p>Some signs of moderation</p>

<p>While the overall report showed inflation pressures easing, the details painted a mixed picture across key categories.</p>

<p>Food prices continued to edge higher, up 0.2% in September from the previous month, but have shown signs of moderating from earlier in the year.</p>

<p>Housing inflation also cooled further. The shelter index rose 0.2% after a 0.4% rise in August. Owners' equivalent rent, the hypothetical rent homeowners would pay for their own homes, climbed just 0.1%, the smallest monthly gain since early 2021.</p>

<p>Medical services posted a mild 0.2% increase after declining in August, while apparel prices rose 0.7%, signaling that tariff pass-through is starting to show up in categories like clothing and household furnishings, which climbed 0.4% last month.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, some relief came from auto-related costs. The motor vehicle insurance index fell 0.4% in September after being unchanged the prior month, offering a small break in one of the stickier service categories this year.</p>

<p>"Today's CPI report confirms inflation's slow, but steady descent," BlackRock chief investment and portfolio strategist Gargi Chaudhuri said. "Goods prices are firming again amid tariff pressures, but softer shelter and services readings show progress where it matters most. The disinflation trend is intact, keeping the Fed on course for a rate cut next week."</p>

<p>All eyes will be on hip hop trailblazers this weekend.</p>

<p>Iconic labels, Cash Money Records and No Limit Records, will go head-to-head at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. It marks the return of Verzuz, the competitive music battle series created by music giants Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.</p>

<p>"This Verzuz battle will be a return to form, stacked with legends dropping bars that defined the '90s and early 2000s hip-hop era. We're bringing out the best of the best, and you can expect some surprise heavy hitters you haven't seen in a minute," rapper and No Limit signee, Silkk The Shocker, told USA TODAY in a statement.</p>

<p>"You've got two iconic labels and some of the game's top lyricists, rappers, and producers together on one stage for the first time in decades. History is about to be made."</p>

<p>Here's what we know about the highly anticipated Verzuz battle.</p>

<p>According to the website, the exhibition and festival offer several purchasing options: a single-day option for $150 (available for either Saturday or Sunday) and a 2-day General Admission for $250.</p>

<p>They also offer VIP, Crew Pack (minimum of 4 tickets), and VIP and hotel packages.</p>

<p>What is Verzuz?</p>

<p>Verzuz gained cultural prominence during Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's virtual hit battle on Instagram during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

<p>The series evolved into battles or "celebrations" highlighting legendary artists from a diverse range of musical styles, including R&B, hip-hop, gospel, reggaeton, and dancehall. It eventually moved from social media to live events.</p>

<p>Popular Verzuz battles include Ashanti vs. Keyshia Cole, Snoop Dogg vs. DMX, and Brandy vs. Monica. One of the more memorable in-person music standoffs featured hip-hop collectives The LOX and Dipset at Madison Square Garden in August 2021.</p>

<p>During a recent interview with Complex, Master P said that the event is a "celebration" rather than a "battle."</p>

<p>"We're going to go song for song. We're going to celebrate," he added.</p>

<p>All's fair on the red carpet. The stars of Hulu's "All's Fair" – including, from left, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor and Kim Kardashian – attend the world premiere of the show at Los Angeles' DGA Theater Complex on Oct. 16, 2025. Kardashian, who previously studied to become a lawyer, is set to star in the legal drama. The show follows a Los Angeles divorce law firm that undergoes a heated case when founder Allura Grant goes head-to-head against rival Carrington Lane, played by Paulson.</p>

<p>What happened to Kim Kardashian?</p>

<p>Kim Kardashian was diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm, she said in a preview clip during the Oct. 23 Season 7 premiere of Hulu's reality TV series "The Kardashians."</p>

<p>What is a brain aneurysm?</p>

<p>A brain aneurysm is a bulge or weak spot in a blood vessel, typically in or around the brain, the Cleveland Clinic says. While most are small, a ruptured brain aneurysm can be life-threatening.</p>

<p>Who do brain aneurysms most affect?</p>

<p>Brain aneurysms are more common in women than men, and in adults ages 30 to 60, the Mayo Clinic said.</p>

<p>What are common symptoms?</p>

<p>Small brain aneurysms that haven't ruptured don't typically cause symptoms, the Mayo Clinic said. However, you may experience minor symptoms like headaches ahead of a major rupture, the Cleveland Clinic advises.</p>

<p>Ruptured brain aneurysms are a serious condition that cause internal bleeding and require immediate medical treatment.</p>

<p>Here are some common symptoms, according to the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic:</p>

<p>severe headache</p>

<p>nausea and vomiting</p>

<p>stiff neck</p>

<p>weakness and/or numbness</p>

<p>blurred or double vision</p>

<p>seizures</p>

<p>light sensitivity</p>

<p>confusion</p>

<p>pain above and behind the eye</p>

<p>loss of consciousness</p>

<p>drooping eyelid and dilated pupil</p>

<p>How do you treat a brain aneurysm?</p>

<p>A ruptured brain aneurysm needs to be treated immediately, typically with emergency surgery. Call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room if you experience symptoms, the Cleveland Clinic urges. Treatment needs for unruptured brain aneurysms are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and can include monitoring over time.</p>

<p>Scary: TV news anchor Ana Orsini, 28, and the trauma of a sudden death</p>

<p>Does stress cause a brain aneurysm?</p>

<p>Brain aneurysms happen due to your brain's artery walls thinning and weakening, the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic say. A variety of risk factors can contribute to this occurring, including:</p>

<p>family history of brain aneurysms</p>

<p>smoking</p>

<p>certain health conditions</p>

<p>substance use, especially cocaine</p>

<p>high blood pressure</p>

<p>heavy alcohol use</p>

<p>In case you missed: Dr. Dre had three strokes after his brain aneurysm. How common is that?</p>

<p>How is a brain aneurysm diagnosed?</p>

<p>A CT scan of the brain is typically the first step in diagnosing an aneurysm or hemorrhage, the University of Michigan Health said.</p>

<p>"If we diagnose an aneurysm, a cerebral angiogram is performed to better understand the aneurysm," U-M said. "During this procedure, dye is injected into your bloodstream and x-rays are taken, which will give our team information on how to best treat your condition."</p>

Americans Aren't Sold on Cheap Chinese EVs—Yet

• Americans Aren't Sold on Cheap Chinese EVs—Yet</p>

<p>China has built the world's leading electric vehicle industry with more than 100 brands from the country. Those cars have all sorts of features that would wow the average U.S. driver—and they come at a lower price point than the American or European competition.</p>

<p>But the majority of U.S. consumers don't want them, according to new polling from the University of Chicago and AP-NORC. Even when the Chinese car is $10,000 cheaper than the U.S. one, a majority of respondents to the poll released Thursday said they would prefer their vehicle was made in the U.S.A.</p>

<p>There are, however, two big caveats: the advantage for U.S. cars generally gets narrower and narrower as the savings increases. Two thirds of Americans say it would be worth $500 more to buy a U.S. car rather than a Chinese one; 53% say it's worth paying $10,000 more. And then there's the change over time. Just in the last year, the share of respondents who say they are willing to pay more has shrunk significantly—with a double-digit shift toward the cheaper Chinese vehicle for both a $500 and $5000 savings.</p>

<p>For now, this is of course mostly theoretical. You can't easily buy a Chinese EV in the U.S. Chinese automakers don't have U.S. dealerships or distributors. To import one would require a hefty tariff and doing so will soon effectively be banned due to national security restrictions.</p>

<p>But to dismiss the rise of Chinese EVs as irrelevant to the U.S. would be a strategic misstep. I keep thinking way back to my U.S. history coursework. In 1959, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev engaged then-U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon in an impromptu debate in front of a replica of an American kitchen. Nixon pointed to the kitchen and its modern appliances as a sign of the opportunities capitalism can provide. Khrushchev argued that the goods were a sign of modern decadence. Ultimately, the moment encouraged the Soviet population to agitate for household comforts.</p>

<p>How will American consumers feel when they wake up to the reality that the rest of the world is enjoying new luxuries at a low cost? In Washington, many elected leaders on both sides of the aisle believe that tough-on-China is a winner as both a political and policy matter. As the survey shows, American consumers may accept that up to a point, but in the long-term it will be hard to fight a cheaper, better product.</p>

<p>Companies with a view into China see the challenge on the horizon, but proactive moves have been few and far between. For the most part, U.S. manufacturers seem mostly content with today's bipartisan policy moat—even though that moat could easily be filled at the whim of a future administration. The Ford Motor Company is one exception. This year the company launched an effort this year to rethink its EV manufacturing from the ground up and build a car that can compete on cost. It's a bold vision with a lot of execution risk.</p>

<p>Climate people and close China watchers have a bearish view: they see the rise of Chinese EVs as an existential threat to the U.S. auto industry. Already, Chinese EVs have become top sellers in some emerging market countries and are increasingly penetrating the market in Europe, Britain, and Australia. As costs continue to decline and the technology improves, the U.S. will face pressure to allow them in as well.</p>

Analysis-Europe's new space merger explores the FOMO frontier

<p>By Tim Hepher, Mathieu Rosemain and Elvira Pollina</p>

<p>PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) -Driven to the brink by Elon Musk's SpaceX, Europe's biggest satellite firms are setting aside longtime rivalries in a do-or-die $7 billion merger that some insiders are already calling Project FOMO.</p>

<p>A riff on Project Bromo, the code name for talks that led to Thursday's deal between Airbus, Thales and Leonardo, their fear of missing out reflects a market dominated by SpaceX and its Starlink array as well as new mega-constellations in China.</p>

<p>"This kind of merger of the three biggest European space companies would have been unthinkable 10 years ago, but competition between Airbus and Thales is much less significant than competition between Europe, U.S. and China," said Caleb Henry, research director at advisory firm Quilty Space.</p>

<p>AIRBUS, THALES, LEONARDO COMBINE SATELLITE ACTIVITIES TO COMPETE GLOBALLY</p>

<p>The merger unites two joint ventures between Thales and Leonardo - Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio – with Airbus' satellite business as well as various smaller activities.</p>

<p>Airbus and Thales had tentatively explored co-operation in the past but received discouraging signals from the European Commission and political and industrial appetite for a deal was less pressing, two people involved in those talks said.</p>

<p>Since the last attempt more than five years ago, they have watched Europe's traditional market for geostationary satellites cut in half, as cheaper satellites flood low Earth orbit.</p>

<p>Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a security rift with the United States accelerated Europe's drive to support such sensitive assets as satellites, which increasingly overlap with defence.</p>

<p>A tipping point came with mounting losses on cutting-edge, reprogrammable satellites such as the Airbus OneSat programme.</p>

<p>Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, tasked by the board with reforming defence and space strategy, sounded internal alarms in early 2024, telling staff that the losses were unacceptable.</p>

<p>By mid-2024, Airbus was hit by spiralling charges mainly related to OneSat and Thales was grappling with overcapacity, pushing them into landmark talks first reported by La Tribune.</p>

<p>One person with direct knowledge of the decision, asking not to be named, said Airbus and two satellite ventures jointly owned by Thales and Leonardo seized the moment "to say we are suffering and have to compete globally, not against each other".</p>

<p>Another person involved in the talks said there had been "an overriding consensus that this is badly needed, for everybody".</p>

<p>The pragmatic agenda helped to contain political tensions that often go hand in hand with European aerospace, but that did not prevent painful negotiations on valuations, sources said.</p>

<p>"For once logic prevailed; it was get on with it or die," a separate person close to the talks told Reuters.</p>

<p>By contrast, Europe's fragmented defence industry is struggling to coordinate a response to growing threats.</p>

<p>And Europe's space launch sector is growing further apart with Italy peeling off from Arianespace, a partly Airbus-owned operator of Ariane rockets. The integration of Musk's rockets, satellites and Starlink services is credited with driving down costs but Europe's new combination does not include launchers.</p>

<p>Some analysts say the collaboration will fail to reverse the impact of years of prevarication that have left Europe ill-placed to compete, just as it embarks on the challenging task of building Europe's new secure satellite network, IRIS².</p>

<p>"I believe it comes far too late. The company will be tied up with consolidation for at least the next two years: the same period during which it is expected to design IRIS²," said satellite consultant Christian von der Ropp.</p>

<p>GERMANY'S OHB SIGNALS REGULATORY BATTLE</p>

<p>The head of smaller German satellite maker OHB meanwhile fired the first shot in a potential regulatory battle on Friday, telling Boersen-Zeitung: "This is a threat to us".</p>

<p>At a minimum, the deal could damage co-operation on contract bids between OHB and Thales, another senior source said.</p>

<p>To try to win support, the merger trio are urging European competition authorities to use a wider lens than usual when assessing market concentration, arguing that space is a global market, three people involved in the talks said.</p>

<p>They also argue the deal will boost European sovereignty.</p>

<p>The deal also leaves unanswered questions over capacity, with Europe hoping a bigger share of growing markets will prevent it having to cut jobs on top of 3,000 announced in 2024.</p>

<p>"I don't think you should be losing capacity. You need to preserve it because you're going to use it," Agency Partners analyst Nick Cunningham said.</p>

<p>The companies also put aside for now tricky topics of governance, other than to say it will be balanced.</p>

<p>How power is shared in practice will to some extent determine the success of the rare three-way merger to be finalised between now and 2027, industry analysts said.</p>

Analysis-Investors use dotcom era playbook to dodge AI bubble risks

• Analysis-Investors use dotcom era playbook to dodge AI bubble risks</p>

<p>By Naomi Rovnick</p>

<p>LONDON (Reuters) -Major investors, spooked by AI exuberance yet wary of betting against it, are shifting from hyped-up stocks into potential next-in-line winners, reviving a strategy from the 1990s dotcom era that helped some sidestep the crash.</p>

<p>As U.S. stocks have hit successive records and AI chipmaker Nvidia's valuation has surged beyond $4 trillion, professional investors have been trying to find ways to make money from the bull market while avoiding excessive risk.</p>

<p>Some are looking back to the 1990s internet boom, which spread from startups to telecoms and tech, and where hedge funds rode the wave by flipping out of highly-valued stocks before they peaked and picking others that had room to rise.</p>

<p>"What we are doing is what worked from 1998 to 2000," said Francesco Sandrini, multi-asset head and Italy CIO at Europe's largest asset manager Amundi.</p>

<p>He highlighted signs of irrational exuberance on Wall Street, such as frenzied trading in risky options pegged to the share prices of big AI stocks. But he said he expected the new tech enthusiasm to continue and hoped to bank gains via bets on reasonably valued assets that might rally next.</p>

<p>Sandrini said this involved trying to find "the highest growth opportunities that so far the market had failed to spot", with moves into software groups, robotics and Asian tech.</p>

<p>Other investors also expected to edge out of Wall Street's Magnificent Seven stocks after shares in Nvidia more than tripled in two years, but want to keep their diversification within the AI sphere.</p>

<p>"The odds of this (AI boom) being a bust are very high because you've got companies spending trillions and all fighting for the same market that does not yet exist," said Goshawk Asset Management CIO Simon Edelsten, who worked on telecom IPOs at stockbroker Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in London in 1999.</p>

<p>He expected the next phase of AI fever to spread from Nvidia and others like Microsoft and Alphabet into related sectors.</p>

<p>Timing the phases of a bubble has historically been a way to play it without the risk of trying to call the peak too early.</p>

<p>A study by economists Markus Brunnermeir and Stefan Nagel showed that hedge funds mostly did not bet against the dotcom bubble, but rode it skillfully enough to beat the market by about 4.5% per quarter from 1998-2000 and avoid the worst of the downturn.</p>

<p>They shed high-priced internet stocks in time to recycle profits into others before they caught the attention of less sophisticated investors.</p>

<p>"There were good profits to be made for the fleet of foot even during 2000 when the top came," Edelsten at Goshawk said, adding the current market environment was similar to 1999.</p>

<p>He favoured IT consultants and Japanese robotics groups that can potentially pick up revenues from AI heavyweights, in what he said was the typical chronology of a market gold rush.</p>

<p>"When someone strikes gold, (you) buy the local hardware store where the prospectors will buy all their shovels."</p>

<p>Investors are also attempting to benefit from the trillions of dollars so-called hyperscalers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet are committing to AI data centres and advanced chips without taking on more direct exposure to these companies.</p>

<p>Fidelity International multi-asset manager Becky Qin said uranium was her favoured new AI trade because power-hungry AI data centres could gobble up nuclear energy.</p>

<p>Kevin Thozet, investment committee member at asset manager Carmignac, was taking profits on Magnificent Seven stocks and building up a position in Taiwan's Gudeng Precision, which makes delivery boxes for AI chipmakers including TSMC.</p>

<p>Asset managers are also concerned that the rush to build data centres could result in overcapacity, as in the fiber-optic cable boom in the telecoms industry.</p>

<p>"In any new technological paradigm we don't get from A to B without excesses along the way," said Pictet Asset Management senior multi-asset strategist Arun Sai.</p>

<p>Even though top AI stocks like Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet are being powered by strong earnings, he still sees "the building blocks of a bubble" and favours Chinese stocks as a hedge if rapid AI advancements in China sap Wall Street's AI enthusiasm.</p>

<p>Some investors, though, do not favour this relative value approach to AI investing as a way to mitigate future losses.</p>

<p>Oliver Blackbourn, portfolio manager at Janus Henderson, said he was hedging his U.S. tech positions with European and healthcare assets lest an AI stock crash takes the U.S. economy down with it.</p>

<p>He said it was impossible to forecast how long the AI craze would roll on because calling the peak was usually only possible with hindsight.</p>

<p>"We're in 1999 until the bubble pops."</p>
