SSE Cuts Spending Plan by £3 Billion Amid Slowing Growth
The program now totals about £17.5 billion, the UK utility said Wednesday. The company booked a £249.5 million impairment on its investment in renewables projects in southern Europe, reflecting a build-out that's slower than planned because of sector-wide delays to permitting and grid connections.

Deere (DE) Upgraded by Oppenheimer as Robotics Expansion Strengthens Growth Outlook
Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) ranks among the . Following the company's fiscal third-quarter results, Oppenheimer maintained its Outperform rating on Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) and increased its price target from $560 to $566 on August 15. The change follows a 6.8% stock selloff sparked by Deere's quarterly report, which Oppenheimer described as offering investors an alluring entry position as positive signals appear in the markets of Europe and Latin America. Although the end-of-period results were characterized as 'anticipated and better-than-feared,' Oppenheimer pointed out that pessimistic comments to the report were centered on poor end-of-period results, unanticipated negative pricing in Large Agriculture, and increasing tariff expenses. With projections of modest increase led by North American harvest results, clarity on biofuels policy, and performance in used equipment merchandising, the firm maintained expectations at the higher range of the 2026 consensus. Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) is an American company that manufactures agricultural, heavy, and forestry machinery, diesel engines, heavy equipment drivetrains, and lawn care equipment. The company also provides financial services and engages in other business operations. With its AI-powered autonomous tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and other machinery, the company has began venturing into agricultural robotics. One notable instance is the company's See and Spray robots, which are used to spray herbicides and fertilizers. While we acknowledge the potential of DE to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Hedge funds picked WH Smith as a top short before share slump, Hazeltree data shows
By Nell Mackenzie LONDON (Reuters) -Hedge funds and speculators picked WH Smith as their top target for short selling in July, before the British travel retailer announced an accounting error on Thursday that sent its shares tumbling more than 45%. WH Smith lowered its annual profit outlook on Thursday after a review revealed earnings had been overstated in its North America division. Speculators in July picked WH Smith as their top target among UK and European small-cap stocks for bets on a share price drop, a research report from Hazeltree also on Thursday showed. Hedge funds that had to disclose such bets in August to the UK regulator's public filings because of their size included Citadel Advisors and Man Group. Analysts have cut target prices for WH Smith's stock and have pointed to how mounting debt has weighed on the company's cash reserves, compounding pressures from global economic uncertainty affecting the travel sector. A financial review identified an overstatement of around 30 million pounds ($40 million) in expected headline trading profit, WH Smith said, mainly due to supplier income in North America being booked too early. WH Smith, which in June sold its UK high street business to become purely a travel retailer, has been rapidly expanding in North America, which contributed about 20% of group revenue in fiscal 2024. The retailer said it now expects group pre-tax profit for the year ending August 31 to be around 110 million pounds, compared to analysts' estimates of 156.9 million pounds, according to LSEG data. Entertainment ticket sales companies, luxury drinks companies and semi-conductor manufacturers saw large portions of their stocks borrowed for the purpose of shorting, Hazeltree's Shortside Crowdedness Report showed. It gathers data from 700 asset managers, covering 15,000 stocks globally. Citadel and Man Group declined to comment. WH Smith did not immediately respond.
