Report – Inter Milan Eye Late Summer Swoop For Chelsea Defender Despite €30M Price Tag
Serie A runners-up Inter Milan look set to rival Juventus for the signature of versatile Chelsea defender Renato Veiga. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri could make a late bid for the Portuguese star. Renato Veiga spent last season on loan at the Allianz Stadium after failing to secure regular first-team football in London. However, Juventus failed to make his transfer permanent at the end of the campaign. Therefore, he has returned to Stamford Bridge, only for Chelsea to put him back on the market. Inter Milan Set to Rival Juventus for Chelsea Defender Renato Veiga VENICE, ITALY – MAY 25: Renato Veiga of Juventus celebrates after the Serie A match between Venezia and Juventus at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on May 25, 2025 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by) Udinese's Oumar Solet has been Inter's top defensive target, yet there are complications. Indeed, the Friulians are reluctant to let the former RB Salzburg center-back leave on loan. As such, Inter are keeping close tabs on Veiga. Despite falling out of favor at Chelsea, the 22-year-old won't come cheap, with the Blues slapping a €30 million price tag on his head. Still, the Nerazzurri could make a late summer attempt to sign the ex-Basel man.

China's Baidu misses quarterly revenue estimates on advertising weakness
(Reuters) -Chinese search engine giant Baidu's (BIDU) quarterly revenue fell and was just shy of market estimates on Wednesday, signaling persistent weakness in the advertising market amid prolonged economic uncertainty. U.S.-listed shares of the company fell 1% in premarket trading. Slammed by a property market downturn, weak employment rates and choppy consumer demand, companies in the world's second-largest economy have reined in advertising spending to cut costs and protect their margins. Baidu, which relies heavily on advertising in its search engine, also took a hit. Its core online advertising business, which typically makes up 60% of the overall company revenue, reported a 15% decrease in revenue to 16.2 billion yuan during the April-June quarter. That eclipsed upbeat growth at the company's AI cloud segment, which drove a 34% increase in Baidu's non-online advertising business. The company reported total revenue of 32.71 billion yuan ($4.56 billion) during the second quarter, down 4% from the year earlier. Analysts on average estimated 32.76 billion yuan, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with TRAUF. Release Date: August 20, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Transurban Group (TRAUF) increased distributions by around 5% and outperformed cost guidance. Revenue grew by 5.6% with traffic growth across all markets, leading to a 7.4% increase in EBITDA. The company is well-progressed on New South Wales toll reform, with positive outcomes expected. North America showed strong performance with traffic up 6.4%, contributing significantly to revenue growth. Transurban Group (TRAUF) has a strong balance sheet with $3.7 billion in corporate liquidity and $1.7 billion in balance sheet capacity. Negative Points Construction projects in Sydney have impacted traffic growth, though this is expected to ease in FY26. The West Gate Tunnel Project, while nearly complete, has faced contractor challenges and potential claims. The A25 asset in North America is still impacted by adjacent construction, limiting full recovery. EBITDA margins were down in Sydney and North America due to increased road operating costs. The company is facing litigation related to roaming fees, with potential financial implications. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you clarify the guidance for distributions at $0.69 per share and how it relates to the 95% to 105% payout ratio? A: We don't provide specific guidance on where we'll sit within the 95% to 105% range, but the Board is confident in our ability to meet that, subject to variables like traffic and cost discipline. The distribution policy was adjusted to consider the glide path of distributions. Q: Regarding the West Gate Tunnel, you mentioned it would be broadly neutral to free cash flow. Is this specific to FY26, and what are the expected cash finance costs? A: The comment about being broadly neutral to free cash flow relates to FY26. As traffic and revenue ramp up, it will start contributing positively beyond FY26. The capitalized interest costs were $171 million in FY25. Q: Can you explain the decrease in EBITDA margins in Sydney and North America? A: The decrease is due to structural changes in the business, with a focus on cost management, particularly in corporate areas, while investing more in road maintenance. This is balanced across the portfolio to manage cost fluctuations. Q: How competitive is the bidding process for projects like I-285 East and I-24 in America? A: It's early to comment on the competitiveness, but we are one of the shortlisted parties. Partnering makes sense to balance risk and return, providing optionality for future growth. Q: What is the impact of the West Gate Tunnel on the broader Melbourne network, and how should we think about its financial impact? A: The West Gate Tunnel will significantly alleviate congestion, especially for commuters from the west, and provide direct port access for trucks. Financially, it will be broadly neutral in FY26, with capitalized interest becoming expensed, but it will ramp up to contribute positively in future years.
