Ferrari reported a 15% rise in first-quarter core earnings on Tuesday and stuck to its broad financial guidance for the year, despite a string of automakers scrapping forecasts due to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.The Italian luxury sports car maker warned U.S. tariffs could cut 50 basis points off its 2025 profit margins.But it still kept its forecasts, including for full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of at least 2.68 billion euros ($3.04 billion) and an EBITDA margin of at least 38.3%.Bernstein analysts said that was a sign of confidence at a time when the likes of Mercedes, Ford and Stellantis have suspended guidance."Ferrari stands out," the analysts said in a note.Milan-listed shares in the company reversed earlier losses after results were published, and were up 1.1% at 1255 GMT.In the first quarter, Ferrari's core earnings amounted to 693 million euros, close to analysts' consensus forecast of 689 million euros in a Reuters poll.The result was driven by a pricier lineup, including the SF90XX family, the 12Cilindri and the 499P Modificata models, as well as increased demand for personal touches requested by buyers and from more profitable markets, driven by the Americas.Shipments were little changed in the quarter at 3,593 cars, "underscoring a strong profitability", Chief Executive Benedetto Vigna said."We continue to enrich our product offering," he added,Ferrari last week unveiled the new 296 Speciale plug-in hybrid model and its convertible version, and has promised a total of six new models this year.They will include Ferrari's first ever full-electric car, expected at the beginning of October.

White House Scorecard: US creates loyalty rating system for 533 firms. Here's why this matters
The White House has created a loyalty rating system or a scorecard that rates 533 companies and trade associations on how hard they worked to promote US President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill', reported the news portal Axios, citing a senior official aware of the development. This will allow the Trump administration to quickly understand how to approach the listed companies for future conversations and interactions, according to the news report. The scorecard will consider multiple factors while accounting for the overall support rating for the Trump administration, taking into account things like official social media posts, press releases, videos, advertisements, and attendance at the official White House events, as per the report. Based on these criteria, the companies will be ranked under three classifications: Strong, Moderate, or Low. The news portal also cited that there are "good" partners in the list like United, Delta, Uber, DoorDash, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association. It will help 'us see who really goes out and helps vs. those who just come in and pay lip service,' a person aware of the development told the news portal. They also highlighted that the grading system can change if the companies start 'advocating more' now for Trump's tax bill or other additional administrative policies. The dynamic scorecards 'incorporate the support of present and future administration initiatives,' a White House official told the news portal Forbes. Companies like Delta and United have supported Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' calling for a $12.5 billion investment for upgrading the Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, which came after a recent airline crash at the Reagan National Airport, reported the news portal Forbes. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the cab-hailing service, Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, also supported US President Donald Trump by donating $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund while publicly backing the "No Tax on Tips" policy via the megabill. Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, who also extended his support for Trump's bill and for the provisions of corporate tax it brings along with it, as per the report. One of the largest tech companies in the world, Apple, is also likely in the good books of US President Donald Trump as the iPhone maker has committed $600 billion into domestic manufacturing, which is expected to bring tens of thousands of hobs in the US economy. Some companies will also be in focus like, Amazon, Meta and Google who have pulled back on aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion targeted by the Trump administration, while others like Bank of America and JPMorgan will be at watch after rejecting him as a customer, according to the Forbes report.

'Russia lost an oil client': Trump says he ‘may not have to' impose secondary tariffs on India after Putin meet
Trump on Friday said Russia has 'lost an oil client' after Washington imposed penalties on New Delhi for buying Russian crude, but hinted he may not impose similar secondary tariffs on nations continuing such purchases. US President Donald Trump speaks during a visit to the Kennedy Centre in Washington. He warned that Russia would face very severe consequences if it didn't adhere to a ceasefire after Friday's meeting. Reuters US President Donald Trump on Friday said Russia has 'lost an oil client' after Washington penalised New Delhi for buying Russian crude, but further emphasised that he may hold off on imposing similar secondary tariffs on other countries continuing such purchases of oil. 'Well, he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) lost an oil client, so to speak, which is India, which was doing about 40 per cent of the oil. China, as you know, is doing a lot… And if I did what's called a secondary sanction, or a secondary tariff, it would be very devastating from their standpoint. If I have to do it, I'll do it. Maybe I won't have to do it,' Trump told Fox News before leaving for Alaska to meet Putin. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump's tariffs on India His remarks came even as New Delhi has not confirmed any halt in oil imports from Moscow, despite Washington's decision to levy a fresh 25 per cent duty, on top of an earlier 25 per cent tariff, on Indian goods from 27 August. Earlier, Trump (on August 6) escalated the pressure by doubling duties on Indian products to 50 per cent, targeting New Delhi for its continued Russian oil imports. India condemned the move as 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,' warning it would hit exports in sectors such as textiles, leather and marine goods. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said India 'will not back down' under economic pressure. Bloomberg reported that Indian state refiners stopped buying Russian crude following Trump's action, though no official confirmation has been made. Indian Oil chairman AS Sahney said on Thursday that India 'has not halted purchases from Russia' and continues to buy solely on economic grounds. India, which became Russia's largest oil buyer in 2022 after Western sanctions, faces the prospect of its crude import bill rising by USD 9 billion this year and USD 12 billion next year if it cuts off Russian supplies, according to the State Bank of India. The report suggested Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the UAE could fill the gap. Russian crude is also being offered to Indian refiners at discounted rates as EU sanctions and US threats weigh on global demand, Bloomberg cited data firm Kpler as saying.
