Flowers Foods Trims Annual Outlook As Bread Demand Softens
Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE:FLO) shares are trading lower on Friday. The company reported a second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 30 cents, which is in line with the analyst consensus estimate. Quarterly sales of $1.242 billion (+1.5% year over year) missed the Street view of $1.266 billion. 'Macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting consumer demand have continued to pressure the bread category,' said Ryals McMullian, chairman and CEO of Flowers decreased 1.2% in the quarter under review, while volume declined 2.4%. Net income decreased 12.8% to $58.4 million, representing 4.7% of sales, an 80-basis point decrease, primarily due to greater outside purchases, increased workforce-related costs, and higher interest expense. Adjusted net income decreased 16% to $63.4 million. View more earnings on FLO Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4% to $137.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.1% of net sales, down 60 basis points.

Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Negative Outlook on Brazil Reinsurance Market
MEXICO CITY, August 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best is maintaining a negative outlook on Brazil's reinsurance market segment, citing in part political uncertainty and tax reform measures that are pressuring industry profitability. In addition to the approaching 2026 elections, regulatory restrictions on foreign assets have limited domestic reinsurers' growth abroad, according to the Best's Market Segment Report. According to the report, Brazil's reinsurance market continues to recover, but a favorable trend needs to be sustained. AM Best will consider the outlook to be stable when the volatility of the industry's technical and bottom-line results narrows, coupled with positive technical income, amid the new tax reforms taking place in the country. Brazil's gross domestic product grew by 3.9% in 2024, despite an atmosphere of economic uncertainty. Strong private consumption has driven an increase in demand, while growth in services and agriculture contributed to growth on the supply side. However, the Brazilian real has undergone a significant devaluation, reaching 6.18 BRL/USD, as of 30 December 2024. Annual growth in Brazil's reinsurance segment was driven by the property, special risks, aeronautics and financial risk lines of business. This was offset by a decrease in the agricultural and marine business lines at the end of 2024. "Agricultural reinsurance can be considered a natural catastrophe-like exposure that leaves the sector vulnerable, but this is being mitigated by innovative techniques that now monitor climate risks," said Ricardo Rodriguez Perez, senior financial analyst, AM Best. "Despite these initiatives, agriculture reinsurance declined by 47%." Among the report's other highlights: Recent tax changes applied to Brazilian insurers and reinsurers have pressured profitability in 2025. These changes increase the tax applied to foreign exchange transactions, with offshore reinsurers paying more than triple the taxes than in previous years. A deceleration in reinsurance industry growth shows the improvement in risk selection from local or domestic reinsurers, but also reflects the increase of premium ceded by these insurers to reinsurers offshore. Brazil's (re) insurance segment has benefited from higher interest rates paid on its invested reserves. Investment income has contributed significantly to the profitability of Brazil's reinsurance industry, leading to positive bottom-line results for 2023 and 2024.

Buffett's War Chest: Berkshire Preps for the Next Big Crash
Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio), a living legend in modern investment world, has long preached: Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful. And now Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B), Buffet's conglomerate company, seems to be in fearful mode. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with UNH. Berkshire has been a net seller of equities for seven consecutive quarters while the indexes continue scoring new highs. And based on its actions, it seems that Berkshire is preparing to face the possibility of the recession; piling up cash, cutting its banking exposure while simultaneously increasing its bond investment are clear indicators of Berkshire's strategic way toward safer investment position. Berkshire Braces Up For Recession In Q1 2025, Berkshire Hathaway completely liquidated its stake in Citigroup, selling all 14.6 million shares that worth about $1 billion and it also reduced its holdings in Bank of America and Capital One, 7% and 4% respectively. As of mid 2025, Berkshire reportedly owns 5% of the entire short-term U.S. treasuries. Berkshire has instead shifted to U.S. government bonds, mainly short-term Treasuries paying about 4.3%. Long-term bonds? Not sexy enough to Buffett at this moment. And, now, Berkshire is just sitting on a record of a cash pile of US$ 277 billion! It appears to be preparing its ammunition for a potential market crash, and Berkshire has a history of going on buying sprees during recessions. During the 2008 financial crisis, Berkshire had invested US$230 million in Chinese EV firm BYD, which earned it a 10 percent stake. That bet became worth more than US$8 billion dollars when the investment was realized. Investment in BYD (BYDDF) is just one sample. Under Buffett's leadership, Berkshire has a well-documented history of bold investment during recessions including Goldman Sachs, General Electric, railroad company Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Kraft Foods (which later regretted), Wells Fargo, UnitedHealth, U.S. Bancorp, Snowflake, Bank of America, Occidental and Chevron, and many more. As people were panicking, Berkshire was going on NYSE shopping sprees. Buffett literally does what he preaches; buy on lows, sell on highs - be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful. Good Research is The Start What Buffett does is a matter of timing and patience through opportunities. Good research is his advantage to be preparred in volatile markets, and it should be yours too. The better you are informed, the more cleverly you will invest. And GuruFocus is a great starting point to enhance your research. You can access freshly updated portfolios of top-notch investors like Buffett and even apply his investment approaches to filter stocks the Buffett way or any other ways adopted by other investing gurus. Additionally, the platform provides insider trading information and 30 years of financial data on thousands of companies. Berkshire's Most Recent Move As it has been pruning U.S. financials, Berkshire has been quietly growing its presence in Japan industrial giants. It currently has more than 10 per cent shareholding in five large Japanese trading companies: Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo. These companies cover commodities, shipping, and steel and Berkshire receives an $812 million annual dividend on these stocks. Buffett is also increasing bets in infrastructure-intensive energy assets, subscription-based companies and artificial intelligence-friendly technology firms, such as Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Sirius XM. And in the meantime,. Buffett finds no real value and thin upside potential in property sector.
