London Tribunal Rules that Visa and Mastercard's (MA) Fees Violate Competition Law
Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA) are once again under legal fire as a London tribunal ruled that their default multilateral interchange fees—charges applied to retailers each time a customer uses one of their cards—violate European competition law. These fees, set by Visa and Mastercard rather than negotiated individually, have long been criticized by retailers for being excessive and non-transparent. The latest ruling comes from the Competition Appeal Tribunal in the U.K., which sided unanimously with hundreds of merchants who brought the case after a decade-long legal battle over these charges. Confident Investing Starts Here: The law firm Scott+Scott, which represents the claimants, called the ruling a major victory. David Scott, the firm's global managing partner, said that the decision was 'a significant win for all merchants who have been paying excessive interchange fees to Visa and Mastercard.' According to the firm, this is the first time a court has found that both commercial card fees and inter-regional (cross-border) multilateral interchange fees violate competition law. The ruling confirms that Visa and Mastercard's fees unlawfully restricted competition by setting default rates that retailers had little choice but to accept. Despite the setback, both Visa and Mastercard pushed back strongly against the ruling. A Visa spokesperson said that the company 'continues to believe that interchange is a critical component to maintaining a secure digital payments ecosystem that benefits all parties, including consumers, merchants and banks.' Mastercard also criticized the decision by calling it 'deeply flawed' and stating that it would seek permission to appeal. A second phase of the litigation is still underway, which will determine whether merchants passed on the cost of these interchange fees to consumers through higher prices. That upcoming trial could influence the amount of any potential damages. Which Payment Stock Is the Better Buy? Turning to Wall Street, out of the two stocks mentioned above, analysts think that Mastercard stock has more room to run than Visa. In fact, Mastercard's price target of $639.86 per share implies 16.1% upside versus Visa's 11.8%.

Valeo to supply ‘Smart Safety 360' to European OEM
Valeo has been chosen to supply its Valeo Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) to a European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle platform. The integration of VSS360 is expected to enhance the safety around vehicles and streamline the development of autonomous driving capabilities. The system combines hardware, software development expertise, and system integration skills to ensure comprehensive safety around vehicles. It is designed to minimise accidents, enhance driver assistance, and contribute to the progression of autonomous vehicles while adhering to safety standards. Offering a 'cost-optimised' solution, the Valeo Smart Safety 360 is claimed to provide best-in-class driving and parking performance in a scalable 1-box or 2-box ADAS configuration. It eliminates individual electronic control units (ECUs) and minimally impacts the architecture of the vehicle. The system is tailored to scale from basic EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) compliance to advanced Level 2+ functions, and complies with the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 127. For the European premium OEM, the Valeo Smart Safety 360 is said to ensure peak performance and system dependability through the integration of cameras, radars, and ultrasonic sensors, all developed, manufactured, and integrated by the company, leveraging computer vision technology. Valeo noted that radar fusion will be incorporated into its smart front camera, and an extra Parking ECU will facilitate hands-free parking, manage up to four surround-view cameras, and control 12 ultrasonic sensors. Valeo BRAIN division CEO Marc Vrecko said: 'This new award for Valeo Smart Safety 360 underscores Valeo's leading position as a comprehensive provider of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems solutions (ADAS), capable of meeting the stringent safety and performance demands of the automotive industry. It reflects our constant drive to innovate for ever-safer mobility.' Earlier this year, Stellantis and Valeo introduced Europe's first remanufactured LED headlamp alongside a remanufactured infotainment display screen. "Valeo to supply 'Smart Safety 360' to European OEM" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.

Sky retreats from Germany after losing billions
Sky has made a costly retreat from Germany 15 years after Rupert Murdoch broke into the market with hopes of building a pan-European pay-TV empire. The German broadcaster RTL has acquired Sky Deutschland for just €150m (£128m). The figure represents a collapse in the value assigned to the business in 2018 when Sky was acquired for £30bn by the US cable giant Comcast in a blockbuster auction. At that time Brian Roberts, Comcast's executive chairman and controlling shareholder, said Sky's continental footprint would provide crucial scale. The takeover of Sky would help Comcast compete in the increasingly global entertainment business against the likes of Netflix and Amazon, investors were told. However, it quickly proved that Mr Murdoch had sold up at the peak of pay-TV in Europe, as streaming began to make growth much more challenging. The difficulties that Sky had experienced in making Sky Deutschland profitable would not be easily solved under new ownership. The decision to sell Sky Deutschland at a heavy loss will be received as further recognition by Comcast that it overpaid for Sky. Sky acquired full control of Sky Deutschland in 2014 in a deal that valued the German operation at more than £4.4bn. It said on Friday that if RTL is able to hit profit targets it is in line to receive an additional €377m on top of the €150m cash up front. Sky Deutschland has never made a profit, operating in a market of famously thrifty consumers. However, following determined cost-cutting under Comcast it is expected to break even this year. The sale comes after repeated attempts by Comcast to exit Germany, which never achieved the scale of even Sky's tricky Italian business. Talks last year were overshadowed by uncertainty over Sky Deutschland's crucial top-flight football rights. They were secured in December, giving new impetus to the discussions. The agreement marks Mr Roberts' most drastic move yet in its battle to make his takeover of Sky more palatable for Wall Street, which has never shown enthusiasm for his European empire-building. Comcast already reduced the value of Sky by $8.6bn (£6.3bn) in 2022 and stopped breaking out its performance in financial reports. Last year, it also reported a £1.2bn write-down on loans to its German and Italian operations, which were bought by Sky in a £7bn deal in 2014. Struggles in Europe have prompted further cost-cutting efforts at Sky, which recorded a pre-tax loss of £773m in 2023, according to its latest accounts. Plans to cut 2,000 customer service roles were announced in March. However, as well as securing the sale of Germany, Sky has delivered apparent progress in Italy. Revenues there were up 8.2pc last year to €2.4bn and it swung from a loss to underlying earnings of €177m. Thomas Rabe, the chief executive of RTL, said the deal would 'bring together two of the most powerful entertainment and sports brands in Europe, and create a unique video proposition across free TV, pay-TV and streaming'. The German division, which operates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and parts of Italy, holds the rights to broadcast the Bundesliga, the German football league, until 2029. Francois Godard, an analyst at Enders Analysis, said Sky had struggled in Germany with market share languishing around 10pc. Mr Godard said that earlier valuations of Sky Deutschland had been based on 'magic growth ... Of course, that did not happen'. He added: 'Germany has always been different from the UK. They never reached the kind of penetration they had in the UK.' Meanwhile, Sky's attempted overhaul was dealt a blow last year after bosses discovered an embarrassing advertising blunder. This stemmed from Sky uncovering miscalculations in its ad sales that meant its partners did not receive the correct revenues from their deals dating back years. Like other broadcasters, Sky has also been navigating a shift from linear TV to streaming, as customers switch from expensive satellite TV packages to on-demand streaming apps. Next year, it will face further competition as HBO launches its Max streaming service. In December, Sky secured a deal to keep HBO's shows, such as a new Harry Potter series, bundled with its service, but they will no longer be exclusive to the UK broadcaster.
