Dutch payments firm Adyen trims forecast as US tariffs hurt customers
(Reuters) -Adyen cut its annual revenue forecast on Thursday, citing U.S. tariffs hurting the growth of the Dutch payment company's customers.
The Amsterdam-based firm's shares were down 9.2% by 1331 GMT, after falling as much as 20.5% earlier in the session.
Adyen said the slight acceleration in net revenue growth it expected this year now appeared "unlikely." But it reaffirmed its midterm target of an annual net revenue percentage growth in the twenties, up to and including 2026.
A broader client base and global reach has helped Adyen weather shifts in consumer spending better than peers like Worldline and Nexi. But that international exposure also leaves it vulnerable to currency volatility and trade tensions.
"The part that we see going less well ... is what we call market volume growth, so the growth of our own customers," finance chief Ethan Tandowsky told Reuters, when asked about the impact of tariffs and the end of de minimis exemption.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump scrapped the "de minimis" duty exemption that allowed low-value commercial shipments to be sent to the U.S. without tariffs, hitting ecommerce platforms like eBay, one of Adyen's biggest clients.
"We expect earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin to expand in 2025, albeit at a more moderate rate than in 2024," Adyen said.
Adyen's half-year net revenue missed market expectations despite a 20% yearly rise, standing at 1.09 billion euros ($1.27 billion) against the 1.11 billion euros expected by 16 analysts polled by LSEG.
Its half-year EBITDA also missed estimates, coming in at 543.7 million euros; analysts had forecast around 550.8 million euros on average.
KBC Securities analysts called the semester "underwhelming" and said it may pressure the company's shares.

The Chris Paul Collective Enters Next Stage of Growth in Los Angeles
Founded and led by Paul, the Collective unites his business and philanthropic ventures under one roof and appoints David Schwab as first President to help scale the portfolio alongside its leadership team LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In Los Angeles, where Chris Paul plays, works, and builds, The Chris Paul Collective is entering its next stage of growth—uniting his business and philanthropic ventures under one roof and expanding their reach. Founded and led by Paul, the Collective spans consumer products, basketball, media, investments, events, and community impact. Its verticals include Paul's NBA business operations; CP3, LLC; Good Eat'n, his rapidly growing snack brand; Los Angeles-based production company Ohh Dip!!! Entertainment, which he co-owns with Words + Pictures; The Chris Paul Family Foundation; and CP3 Investments. Rounding out the portfolio is The Playbook Group, a grassroots events and experiential business that runs tournaments, academy programs, and camps all over the country where Paul has mentored countless young athletes, coaches, and NBA players. Now, to fuel this next chapter, the Collective has appointed David Schwab as its first President—a new leadership role created to scale the ecosystem Paul and his team have been building since day one. He will work alongside Chris; CP3, LLC President CJ Paul—who has led the business since the start; senior leaders Carmen Wilson and Jacqueline Taylor; and a network of trusted business partners to expand strategic partnerships, strengthen operations, and pursue new opportunities that reflect Paul's values of leadership, excellence, and impact. All of this comes as Paul begins his 21st NBA season with the Los Angeles Clippers, returning to the franchise where he earned five NBA All-Star selections and continuing a career that now spans three decades. Paul is a 12-time NBA All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and nine-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection who ranks second all-time in career assists and steals. As the longest-serving President of the National Basketball Players Association (2013–2021), he played a pivotal role in reshaping the modern NBA — championing player empowerment and expanding economic opportunity. He is also a New York Times best-selling author and a recipient of the ESPN Humanitarian of the Year award. Off the court, Paul has built a dynamic business and philanthropic ecosystem rooted in quality, equity, and innovation. Schwab joins with more than 25 years of leadership experience at Octagon, a global sports and entertainment agency. He was the founder of First Call, one of the industry's earliest influencer marketing divisions, which facilitated thousands of brand and celebrity partnerships across sports, entertainment, and culture. A trusted advisor to Fortune 500s, startups, nonprofits, and athlete-led ventures, Schwab operates at the intersection of brand strategy and business growth—known for spotting what's next, challenging the status quo, and helping organizations scale with purpose. 'Basketball will always be at my core, but as I continue building across business and philanthropy, it's important to work alongside dedicated, talented people,' said Paul. 'David's experience in scaling and leadership will help us build on the strong foundation our team has established. Together, we'll grow in ways that stay true to who we are and focus on what matters—meaningful work in business, in our communities, and for the next generation. And doing it here in Los Angeles—back on the court, surrounded by my family, and at the center of so much of my business—makes it even more special.' 'Chris has an unmatched work ethic and a mindset that elevates everyone around him,' said Schwab. 'He's the kind of person you want to build with—relentless, thoughtful, and values-driven. What makes this opportunity special is that Chris brings the same intensity and care to business and community impact as he does to basketball—and he's surrounded by a strong, trusted team that's been with him for years.'

AI startup Cohere valued at $6.8 billion in latest fundraise, appoints new executives
(Reuters) -Cohere was valued at $6.8 billion after its latest $500 million funding round, as the artificial intelligence startup moves to expand its market share in a highly competitive industry. The funding round was led by Radical Ventures and Inovia Capital, with participation from existing investors AMD Ventures, NVIDIA, PSP Investments, and Salesforce Ventures, among others. Unlike most AI companies like OpenAI and Meta's Llama, which are focused on broad foundational models, Cohere builds enterprise-specific AI models. In January, it launched North, a ChatGPT-style tool designed to help knowledge workers with tasks such as document summarization. The company said it will use the new funding to advance agentic AI that can help businesses and governments operate more efficiently. Alongside the fundraise, Cohere appointed Joelle Pineau, former Vice President of AI Research at Meta, as Chief AI Officer, and Francois Chadwick, former CFO at Uber and Shield AI, as Chief Financial Officer. The fundraise comes amid a broader surge in AI financing, as private equity and Big Tech channel capital into startups in pursuit of strong returns from innovative AI products.

Putin-Trump One-On-One Meeting To Begin Friday: Russian Presidential Aide
US President Donald Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin talk during the family photo session at the APEC Summit in Da Nang, Vietnam November 11, 2017. REUTERS/Jorge Silva/File Photo MOSCOW, Aug 14 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump will begin at 11.30 am local time in the US state of Alaska on Friday with a one-on-one conversation accompanied by interpreters, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said. The meeting will be held at "one of the facilities" of Elmendorf-Richardson Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska, Anadolu Ajansi reported Ushakov told reporters in Moscow on Thursday. "It will all begin tomorrow, August 15, at approximately 11.30 local time, with a conversation between Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Donald Trump. This meeting will be held one-on-one, with interpreters present. Then negotiations will take place as part of the delegations, which will continue over a working breakfast," he said. bootstrap slideshow Negotiations between Putin and Trump will take place on an equal basis, with five members from each side, said Ushakov. The Russian delegation includes foreign, defense, and finance ministers, as well as the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. He said the members of the Russian delegation included "Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, presidential advisor on foreign policy Yury Ushakov, Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, and presidential envoy for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev." Ushakov explained that the number of participants is limited due to "the sensitive nature of the discussions." The composition of the US delegation has also been determined, but Ushakov said that he believes it would be more appropriate if Washington announced it. "Thus, aside from the presidents, there will be five additional participants per delegation. Naturally, nearby will also be a group of experts ready to assist," he noted.
