PA House passes bill requiring American-made steel in tax-payer funded projects
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a bill Monday requiring American-made steel for all tax-payer funded projects. State law already requires government projects to use American-made steel. However, H.B. 1018 would extend this requirement to private entities receiving public funds or tax incentives. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now 'This is one way to bring back good-paying, family-sustaining jobs – by leveling the playing field for hardworking people and industries that were economically steamrolled by unfair competition,' said Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria), who sponsored the bill. The bill, which is a part of Burns' larger 'American Made Jobs Plan,' passed the House 200-2. It will now move to the Senate for concurrence. Mexican aluminum, steel exporters say sales in US down 63% due to tariffs The bill comes as tariffs have driven down the demand for foreign-made steel. In February, President Donald Trump ordered a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian steel and aluminum imports. Exporters of Mexican steel and aluminum said that has led to a 63% drop in sales to the United States. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Beyond its many strengths, the robustness of its catchment area endows this asset with further optimization potential. Its commercial performance can be enhanced through the re-tenanting and consolidation of its retail mix, aligning it with the Company's standards which boast an average occupancy rate of 98% across its 33 strategic assets. An investment initiating a new momentum for the Company This investment represents a unique opportunity for Mercialys to reinforce its position as a key player in the French retail property sector.

Institutions profited after AUTO1 Group SE's (ETR:AG1) market cap rose €259m last week but retail investors profited the most
Significant control over AUTO1 Group by retail investors implies that the general public has more power to influence management and governance-related decisions A total of 11 investors have a majority stake in the company with 51% ownership 34% of AUTO1 Group is held by Institutions Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Every investor in AUTO1 Group SE (ETR:AG1) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are retail investors with 44% ownership. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn). While retail investors were the group that reaped the most benefits after last week's 5.0% price gain, institutions also received a 34% cut. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of AUTO1 Group, beginning with the chart below. Check out our latest analysis for AUTO1 Group Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. We can see that AUTO1 Group does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at AUTO1 Group's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. Our data indicates that hedge funds own 13% of AUTO1 Group. That's interesting, because hedge funds can be quite active and activist. Many look for medium term catalysts that will drive the share price higher. Cadian Capital Management, LP is currently the largest shareholder, with 13% of shares outstanding. Hkvv GmbH is the second largest shareholder owning 9.1% of common stock, and Coronation Fund Managers Limited holds about 5.0% of the company stock. After doing some more digging, we found that the top 11 have the combined ownership of 51% in the company, suggesting that no single shareholder has significant control over the company. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO. I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions. Our data cannot confirm that board members are holding shares personally. It is unusual not to have at least some personal holdings by board members, so our data might be flawed. A good next step would be to check how much the CEO is paid. With a 44% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over AUTO1 Group. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. It seems that Private Companies own 9.1%, of the AUTO1 Group stock. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company. While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for AUTO1 Group (2 make us uncomfortable) that you should be aware of.
