Posco, JSW agree to invest in joint steel plant
Posco said that the agreement 'marks a significant step toward deepening the strategic collaboration between two of the world's most respected steel companies.' It builds on a memorandum of understanding (MoU), signed in October 2024, which outlined a broad-based collaboration framework between the two companies.
The proposed 50:50 joint venture would combine Posco's advanced steel production technologies with JSW's significant scale in the local market, and is aligned with India's vision of being self-reliant and exporting nation.
The two companies plan to launch a detailed feasibility study to 'finalise the plant's location, investment terms, resource availability, and other critical factors.' Given its natural resource base and logistical advantages, Odisha is among the key locations being considered.
Lee Ju-tae said in a statement: 'India is central to the future of global steel demand. Our collaboration with JSW is based on mutual trust and a shared long-term vision. This initiative represents our commitment to supporting India's industrial growth while creating long-term value for both organizations.'
Jayant Acharya pointed out that the 'partnership brings together Posco's technological leadership in steelmaking and JSW's proven execution capabilities and strong domestic footprint. The proposed venture aligns with India's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and will help create a globally competitive manufacturing hub to serve both domestic and export markets.'

Why Baidu Stock Wilted on Wednesday
Key Points The Chinese tech industry giant reported its second-quarter results that morning. It posted declines in both revenue and adjusted profitability. 10 stocks we like better than Baidu › Veteran Chinese tech giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) looked rather tired to equity investors on Wednesday. They didn't seem wowed by the company's latest earnings release and expressed this by collectively trading their American depositary shares (ADS) down by almost 3%. This was a steeper fall than the 0.2% endured by the bellwether S&P 500 index. Top- and bottom-line slides Baidu's second-quarter results, published well before market open that day, revealed that the company's revenue slumped by 4% year over year to 32.7 billion yuan ($4.55 billion). That was slightly below the consensus analyst estimate of 32.9 billion yuan ($4.58 billion). The decline and miss might have been more pronounced had it not been for the company's artificial intelligence (AI)-boosted offerings. Baidu quoted CEO Robin Li as saying that its AI Cloud business "continued to deliver robust and healthy revenue growth, supported by our strengthening full-stack AI capabilities and comprehensive end-to-end AI products and solutions." It didn't help push the bottom line higher, however, as non-GAAP (adjusted) net income fell by 35% to just under 4.8 billion yuan ($668 million). On a per-ADS basis, the company's profitability was 13.58 yuan ($1.89). On the bright side, this was a bit higher than the average analyst estimate of 13.33 yuan ($1.86) per ADS. Motoring into a better future? In its earnings release, Baidu pointed to AI as a potential engine of growth. On the subject of engines, it also clearly has high hopes for the robotaxis coming from its mobility unit, Apollo Go. It said that it is a leading company in robotaxi markets with both left- and right-hand drive regimes. Should you buy stock in Baidu right now?
