Sen. Ron Johnson rips into 'immoral' GOP spending bill: 'I can't accept it'
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on Wednesday blasted President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" as "immoral" and "grotesque," and reiterated that he will vote against it unless his GOP colleagues make major changes. "This is immoral, what us old farts doing to our young people," Johnson said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" after sounding alarms that the massive tax-and-spending-cut bill would add trillions of dollars to national deficits. "This is grotesque, what we're doing," Johnson said. "We need to own up to that. This is our moment." "I can't accept the scenario, I can't accept it, so I won't vote for it, unless we are serious about fixing it," he continued. Johnson has been among the Senate's loudest GOP critics of the budget bill that narrowly passed the House last month. Johnson and other fiscal hawks have taken aim over its impact on the nation's debt. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated later Wednesday that the bill would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Johnson has proposed splitting the bill into two parts, though Trump insists on passing his agenda in a single package. "The president and Senate leadership has to understand that we're serious now," Johnson said of himself and the handful of other GOP senators whose opposition to the bill could imperil its chances. "They all say, 'Oh, we can pressure these guys.' No, you can't." Republicans hold a narrow 53-47 majority in the Senate, so they can only afford to lose a handful of votes to get the bill passed in a party-line vote. "Let's discuss the numbers, and let's focus on our children and grandchildren, whose futures are being mortgaged, their prospects are being diminished by what we are doing to them," Johnson said. Johnson's comments came one day after Elon Musk ripped into the spending bill, calling it a "disgusting abomination" that will lead to exploding deficits. The White House brushed aside Musk's comments. Johnson said that Musk's criticisms bolster the case against the bill. "He's in the inside, he showed ... President Trump how to do this, you know, contract by contract, line by line," Johnson said of Musk. "We have to do that." Johnson said that his campaign against the bill in its current form is not a "long shot," because he thinks there are "enough" Republican senators will will vote against the bill. "We want to see [Trump] succeed, but again, my loyalty is to our kids and grandkids," he said. "So there's enough of us who have that attitude that very respectfully we just have say, 'Mr. President, I'm sorry, 'one, big, beautiful bill' was not the best idea," he added.

Sprinklr (CXM) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why
Shares of customer experience software provider Sprinklr (NYSE:CXM) jumped 5.7% in the morning session after the company reported a "beat-and-raise" quarter (Q1 FY-26). Sprinklr raised its full-year revenue and EPS guidance, which blew past analysts' expectations. The quarter was also solid as its revenue, EPS, and adjusted operating income exceeded Wall Street's estimates. The big win came on margins. Operating margin on a non-GAAP basis climbed to 18% from 11% last year, helped by pulling back on sales and marketing costs. That made a real difference in earnings per share, which jumped more than 30% and blew past Wall Street's estimates. Overall, we think this was a solid "beat-and-raise" quarter. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $8.75, up 2.2% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Sprinklr? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Sprinklr's shares are somewhat volatile and have had 12 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock dropped 24.2% on the news that the company reported weak first quarter results and provided full-year revenue guidance below expectations after being lowered. Also, its revenue guidance for next quarter missed Wall Street's estimates. The company called out a soft demand environment with longer sales cycles and heightened budgetary scrutiny. In addition, it observed higher churn in its core product suites due to reduced marketing spend, elimination of programs, and seat reductions. These issues contributed to the weak guidance as management expects the elevated churn level to continue for the full year FY '25. On the other hand, Sprinklr recorded significant improvement in new large contract wins. Overall, the guidance was quite bad and weighed on the stock. Following the results, D.A. Davidson downgraded the stock's rating from Buy to Neutral, while Cantor Fitzgerald also lowered the rating from Overweight to Neutral. Sprinklr is up 2.4% since the beginning of the year, but at $8.75 per share, it is still trading 19.3% below its 52-week high of $10.84 from June 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Sprinklr's shares at the IPO in June 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $496.87. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

MEXICO CITY, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industrias Unidas, S.A. de C.V. ("IUSA" or the "Company") has announced its unaudited results for the three months ended March 31 of 2025. Figures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS"), which are different in certain respects from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The results from any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless stated otherwise, reference herein to "Pesos", "pesos", or "Ps." are to pesos, the legal currency of Mexico and references to "U.S. dollars", "dollars", "U.S. $" or "$" are to United States dollars, the legal currency of the United States of America. Except as otherwise indicated, all peso amounts are presented herein in pesos with purchasing power as of March 31, 2025, and in pesos with their historical value for other dates cited. The dollar translations provided in this document are calculated solely for the convenience of the reader using an exchange rate of Ps. 20.46 per U.S. dollar, the exchange rate published by Banco de Mexico, the country's central bank, on March 31, 2025. Three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024: (Figures in Millions of Pesos) For the year ended March31, 2024 2025 Revenues 6,236.3 8,876.0 Cost of Sales 4,803.3 6,922.3 Gross Profit 1,433.0 1,953.7 Selling and Administrative Expenses 630.8 805.4 Operating Income (Loss) 802.2 1,148.3 Other Expenses - Net 51.2 21.8 Comprehensive Financing Result 63.8 34.9 Taxes and Statutory Employee Profit Sharing 180.9 290.4 Equity in Income (Loss) of Associated Companies (16.0) (2.8) Consolidated Net Income (Loss) 720.3 911.8 D&A 71.5 82.2 EBITDA 1/ 873.7 1,230.5 1/ EBITDA for any period is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding i) depreciation and amortization, ii) total net comprehensive financing result (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other Financing costs), iii) other expenses net, iv) income tax and statutory employee profit sharing and v) equity in income (loss) of associated companies. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternate measure of net income or operating income, as determined on a consolidated basis using amounts derived from statements of operations prepared in accordance with MFRS, or as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a recognized term under MFRS or U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of liquidity. Our consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was Ps.911.8 million (U.S.$44.6 million), compared to a net income of Ps.720.3 million in the same period of 2024. This represented a 26.6% increase, quarter over quarter (Q/Q). This change is primarily due to an increase in sales and hence Gross Profit. Revenues Our net revenues for the three months of 2025 increased 42.3% to Ps.8,876.0 million (U.S.$433.82 million) from Ps.6,236.3 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was driven in part by higher copper prices, combined with an increase in volume of sales. Our costs and revenues follow copper prices very closely since the market practice is to pass on to the buyer changes in raw material prices. Our sales are primarily for customers engaged in commercial, industrial and residential construction, and their related maintenance and renovation activities. We also sell to customers engaged in electrical power generation, transmission and distribution and to the sectors of gas, water and air conduction in Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR). Our revenues consist mainly of sales of copper-based products (tubing, wire, cable and alloys) and electrical products. By country of production, approximately 61.3% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025, came from products manufactured in Mexico and the remaining 38.7% from products manufactured in the U.S. In terms of sales by region during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we derived approximately 44.0% of our revenues from sales to customers in the United States, 51.7% from customers in Mexico and 4.3% from the rest of the world ("ROW"). Cost of sales Our cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by 44.1% to Ps.6,922.3 million (U.S.$338.3 million) from Ps.4,803.3 million in the same period of 2024. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of sales was 78.0% and 77.0% respectively. We reduce our cost base through several initiatives, including plant scheduling, raw material handling, and overall manufacturing overhead costs. According to our accounting policies, we make an inventory valuation at an average purchase price. In the case of copper cathodes, an aftermath adjustment is required due to the quotation period agreed with the suppliers (M+1). This initiative allows us to hedge purchases for 30 days at no additional cost. The adjustment is recorded to the cost of sales in the month in which it occurs. Gross Profit Our gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 36.3% to Ps.1,953.7 million (U.S.$95.5 million) from Ps.1,433.0 million in the same period of 2024. As a percentage of sales, gross profit in 2025 was 22.0% vs 23.0% in 2024. Selling and Administrative Expenses Our sales and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 27.7% to Ps.805.4 million from Ps.630.8 in the same period of 2024. Operating Income Our operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 43.1% to Ps. 1,148.3 million (U.S.$56.12 million) from an operating income of Ps. 802.2 in the same period of 2024. EBITDA In the three months ended March 31, 2025, our EBITDA increased 40.8% to Ps.1,230.5 million (or U.S.$60.1million), from Ps.873.7 million in the same period of 2024. The corresponding depreciation and amortization figures are Ps.422.3 million for January to March 2025 and Ps.337.7 million for the same period of 2024.

Taxes and Statutory Employee Profit Sharing The provision for current and deferred income taxes and statutory employee profit sharing in the three months ended March 31, 2025, was an expense of Ps.290.4 million compared to an expense of Ps.180.9 million in the same period of 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents for Ps.6,436.8 million (U.S.$314.6 million). Our policy is to invest available cash in short-term instruments issued by Mexican and U.S. banks as well as in securities issued by the governments of Mexico and the U.S. Our cash flow from operations and operating margins are significantly influenced by world market prices for raw copper, as quoted by COMEX and the London Metal Exchange ("LME"). Copper prices are subject to significant market fluctuations; average copper prices increased 18.4% in the three months ending March 31, 2025, to $4.57 US dollars per pound from $3.86 US dollar per pound in the same period of 2024. We obtain short-term financing from various sources, including Mexican and international banks. Short-term financing consists in part of lines of credit denominated in pesos and dollars. As of March 31, 2025, our outstanding short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt totaled Ps.422.2 million (U.S.$20.6 million), all of which was dollar denominated. On the same date, our outstanding consolidated long-term debt, excluding current portion thereof, totaled Ps.4,129.0 million (U.S.$201.8 million), all of which was dollar denominated.
