Paris Air Show: TotalEnergies Signs a Deal with Quatra to Secure Feedstock for Its Biorefineries
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Quatra, the European market leader in the collection and recycling of used cooking oil, have signed a 15-year agreement beginning in 2026, for the supply of 60,000 tons a year of European used cooking oil to TotalEnergies' biorefineries.
This deal contributes to secure the feedstock to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
From the collection of used cooking oil to the production of biofuels in France
Under the terms of the agreement, Quatra will collect used cooking oil directly from restaurants, restaurant chains and industry in France and the rest of Europe. The oil will then be delivered to Quatra sites for filtering before being shipped to TotalEnergies' biorefineries to produce road biofuels and SAF.
TotalEnergies has converted its refineries at La Mède in the south of France and Grandpuits near Paris into biorefineries.
La Mède: The biorefinery at La Mède, launched in 2019, has an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of biofuel. Through this site, TotalEnergies is the only producer of HVO biodiesel in France. This year, La Mède will also produce sustainable aviation fuel for airports in the south of France.
Grandpuits: the site's conversion into a zero-crude complex includes a biorefinery with an annual production capacity of 230,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel. Commissioning is planned for 2026. TotalEnergies has partnered with SARIA, the European leader in the collection and reuse of organic waste in the form of sustainable products, which will supply most of the site's feedstock.
'I am delighted with this strategic agreement with Quatra that contributes to our aim to secure the feedstock we need to produce biofuels in our biorefineries. The development of biofuels is one of our Company's strategic goals. By directly reducing the carbon intensity of the energy products used by our customers, we are actively working with them as part of our net zero approach, together with society,' said Valérie Goff, Senior Vice President, Renewable Fuels & Chemicals at TotalEnergies.
'At Quatra, we believe in long-term partnerships with leading industrial groups that combine logistics, environmental responsibility and financial viability. The deal between Quatra France and TotalEnergies is an excellent example of that. By supplying locally collected used cooking oil, we are contributing to a sustainable value chain. That allows us to focus on our core business, which is the efficient collection of used cooking oil across France, allowing TotalEnergies to turn that valuable resource into biofuel,' stated Pol Van Pollaert, Co-CEO, Quatra.

Why Jabil (JBL) Stock Is Up Today
Shares of electronics manufacturing services provider Jabil (NYSE:JBL) jumped 12.2% in the morning session after the company reported an impressive "beat and raise" second quarter 2025 result, which blew past analysts' revenue, earnings per share, and operating income estimates. Strong demand for its AI products more than offset weaknesses in areas like EVs, Renewables, and 5G. Looking ahead, its revenue guidance for next quarter trumped Wall Street's estimates, and it lifted its full-year sales and EPS outlook. Full-year free cash flow estimate was also maintained at $1.2 billion+, backing management's resolve to return more value to shareholders. Zooming out, we think this was a strong quarter. Is now the time to buy Jabil? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Jabil's shares are somewhat volatile and have had 13 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Jabil and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 9% on the news that the company reported strong first-quarter (Q2 2025) results that significantly blew past analysts' revenue and EPS estimates. The company attributed the strong growth to demand for its capital equipment, cloud and data center businesses. Despite the outperformance, profits came in softer than expected due to restructuring and severance costs. This helped Jabil beat analysts' EPS expectations. Overall, this was a decent quarter, which showed that the company was staying on track. Jabil is up 41.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $202.33 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Jabil's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $6,157. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Middle East tensions keep FTSE 100 on back foot
London's FTSE 100 closed lower on Tuesday, giving back Monday's gains, as hopes for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran faded. 'Middle East tensions are showing no signs of easing back, putting investors on high alert,' commented Russ Mould at AJ Bell. The FTSE 100 index closed down 41.19 points, 0.5%, at 8,834.03. The FTSE 250 ended 46.97 points lower, 0.2%, at 21,237.05, and the AIM All-Share fell 3.49 points, 0.5%, at 760.65. In European equities on Tuesday, the CAC 40 in Paris closed down 0.8%, while the DAX 40 in Frankfurt gave up 1.1%. Stocks in New York were lower at the time of the London close. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2%, the S&P 500 index was 0.4% lower, as was the Nasdaq Composite. Donald Trump called for a 'complete give-up' by Iran and denied pursuing a ceasefire in the war between the Islamic republic and Israel. In comments after leaving the G7 summit early to focus on the conflict, the US president called for a 'real end' to the war rather than a temporary truce and predicted a further intensification of Israeli strikes. Mr Trump said on Air Force One that a satisfactory end to the war could consist of Iran 'giving up entirely' and added in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday that he had 'not reached out to Iran for 'Peace Talks' in any way, shape, or form'. Vice President JD Vance said that Mr Trump may decide that 'further action' is needed to stop Iran's nuclear programme, responding to speculation that the US could intervene in the conflict. Mr Vance said in a post on X: 'The president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens. He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment.' Ipek Ozkardeskaya at Swissquote Bank said 'this is not a classic de-escalation story'. 'While Iran appears to be signalling restraint, former President Donald Trump urged the evacuation of Tehran, and Israel has vowed to continue its strikes. This makes it a one-sided de-escalation at best, and keeps risks across energy markets and haven assets tilted to the upside. If Iran fails to find room to manoeuvre diplomatically, it could easily make a U-turn.' Brent oil traded higher at 75.45 US dollars a barrel late on Tuesday from 72.79 dollars on Monday. The price rise boosted BP and Shell on London's FTSE 100 by 1.8% and 1.5% respectively. Elsewhere, US retail sales fell more than anticipated in May, data published by the US Census Bureau showed. The country's advance estimates of retail and food services sales edged down 0.9% monthly in May to 715.4 billion dollars from 722.0 billion dollars in April, when sales had declined by 0.1%. April's figure was downwardly revised from growth of 0.1%. May's contraction was sharper than a decline of 0.7% that had been pencilled in by the FXStreet-cited consensus. The headline sales were dragged lower by a drop in motor vehicle and parts sales, noted economists at TD Economics. 'A flurry of activity in anticipation of tariffs boosted consumer spending earlier this year, but that momentum is now looking to have run its course,' the broker added. The figures come ahead of Wednesday's interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, it is near-certain that the Fed will maintain rates at the 4.25%-4.50% range this week. The Fed held in each of the first three meetings this year. Its last cut was in December, a 25 basis points trim to the federal funds rate range. 'We expect a unanimous decision to leave rates unchanged and look for only cosmetic changes to the post-meeting statement,' JPMorgan analysts said ahead of Wednesday's decision. JPMorgan expects the Fed's projections this week 'will likely push the growth and inflation outlooks in a stagflationary direction', showing weaker growth and hotter inflation. 'We expect the median estimate of GDP growth this year will be marked down from 1.7% to 1.4%, while the core PCE inflation forecast will be revised up from 2.8% to 3.2%. We expect more modest changes in the out years,' JPMorgan added. As for when the next change in the policy rate goes, JPMorgan expects the median dot-plot of policymaker projections to show only one cut in 2025. 'For the out years, we project two cuts per year, which would put the '27 year-end rate near neutral,' JPMorgan added. The pound was quoted down at 1.3502 dollars at the time of the London equities close on Tuesday, compared to 1.3594 dollars on Monday. The euro stood lower at 1.1522 dollars against 1.1591 dollars. Against the yen, the dollar was trading at 145.07 yen, up compared to 144.09 yen. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was quoted at 4.42%, narrowed from 4.43%. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was quoted at 4.93%, stretching from 4.92%. On the FTSE 100, Ashtead rose 3.7% despite soft guidance accompanying 'solid' fourth-quarter and full-year results. Pretax profit fell 6.0% to 392 million dollars in the three months to April 30 from 417 million dollars a year prior. Adjusted pretax profit fell 3.6% to 430 million dollars in the quarter from 446 million dollars a year ago, beating the consensus of 409 million dollars. Revenue declined by 3.8% to 2.53 billion dollars in the quarter from 2.63 billion dollars a year before, although rental revenue rose 0.9% to 2.33 billion dollars from 2.31 billion dollars. Jefferies said the results were 'solid enough'. But guidance for between flat rental revenue and growth of 4% for the current financial year was softer-than-expected. Peel Hunt suggested 2026 earnings forecasts could be lowered by 5%. UBS said the outlook is slightly on the low side of consensus, meaning earnings momentum is therefore likely to remain under pressure for now. Bunzl fell 3.1% as RBC Capital Markets downgraded it to 'sector perform' from 'outperform'. On the FTSE 250, Morgan Sindall soared 15% after it upgraded its profit view, amid strong trading in its Fit Out division. The London-based construction and regeneration company said it expects group pretax profit for 2025 to be 'significantly ahead of previous expectations' as reported at its last update in May. Morgan Sindall back in March predicted adjusted pretax profit 'slightly ahead' of consensus at the time of £178.0 million. In May, it said it was confident of delivering a full-year performance in line with expectations at the time. Adjusted pretax profit in 2024 amounted to £172.5 million. Gold was quoted lower at 3,381.51 dollars an ounce against 3,403.81 dollars. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Ashtead Group, up 162p at 4,544p; BT, up 3.2p at 188.2p; BP, up 6.4p at 389.1p; Shell, up 38.5p at 2,664p; and Unite Group, up 10.5p at 844.5p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were IAG, down 14.7p at 312.6p; Entain, down 31p at 835p; Bunzl, down 74p at 2,228p; WPP, down 15p at 531.2p; and easyJet, down 14.4p at 536.4p.

Since its founding in 2000, ASOS has carved out a prominent spot in the competitive fashion landscape by leveraging a unique online business model emphasizing trend cycles and diverse global brands. With 20 million active customers in over 200 markets worldwide, ASOS has gained substantial traction in the U.S. "The U.S. is a hugely important market for us, and our growth here is driven by two key strengths: our unique product assortment and our ability to engage a passionate community of fashion lovers," said Sean Trend, ASOS' Managing Director. "ASOS offers a mix that's hard to find elsewhere, from standout European brands with limited distribution in the U.S. to cult favorites like Oh Polly and sought-after pieces from global brands like Adidas." Customers can shop a curated edit of spring/summer 2025 styles, including exclusive drops, seasonal ... More staples, and pieces from ASOS-owned and partner brands. The decision to establish a physical presence in the U.S. is based on recognizing a key difference in size inclusivity across various categories, including Plus, Tall, and Petite. ASOS' robust online sales in the U.S. have underscored the need to offer customers an experiential interaction with the brand, reinforcing its identity beyond digital screens. The "Summer, Styled by ASOS" pop-up offers a carefully curated selection from the spring/summer 2025 collection, including exclusive drops, seasonal staples, and a blend of ASOS-owned brands like Arrange alongside select partner brands. Arrange, launched in March 2025, is ASOS' new premium line that combines directional design with a distinctively feminine aesthetic, perfect for standout summer moments.

"The space reflects the ASOS brand: bold, inclusive, and built for discovery," Trend added. "It's a seamless, in-person reflection of how our customer shops online." Moreover, to bridge the digital-physical gap, the store features a digital shopping experience that allows customers to browse and order from ASOS' complete online inventory directly in-store, enhancing convenience and encouraging deeper engagement with the brand. This NYC pop-up is the first in a planned series of physical activations in the U.S., reflecting ASOS' interest in leveraging real-world retail to complement its strong digital presence. Though the company has experimented successfully with pop-ups in the U.K., boosting brand visibility and customer engagement, permanent physical stores are not yet on the immediate horizon. "Right now, this is a test-and-learn moment," Trend said. "We're focused on making this first activation a success and exploring how we might bring similar experiences to other U.S. cities. While permanent retail isn't the immediate plan, if the response is strong, we would love to take the concept to other cities, and we may even invite our customers to help decide where we go next." The store also features menswear and distinct occasion edits like Euro Summer, Party Vibes, ... More Occasionwear, and Capsule Wardrobe, Next up, ASOS plans a mini pop-up at the popular Surf Lodge in the Hamptons over the July 4th weekend. Depending on customer reception and the impact of these initial events, ASOS may expand its physical retail strategy with additional U.S. activations. Trend emphasized the long-term vision: "With any pop-up, our aim goes beyond short-term awareness. We're focused on building long-term consideration and loyalty. We want customers to walk away from the experience with a clear understanding of who ASOS is and why they'll want to come back." ASOS' foray into the U.S. physical retail space mirrors a broader trend among British e-commerce brands seeking to deepen their stateside presence. Gymshark, known for its activewear and fitness community, recently established its first permanent U.S. flagship in New York. The fashion-forward label Never Fully Dressed also expanded into the U.S. with brick-and-mortar locations. These moves underscore the strategic importance British brands place on combining digital prowess with tangible retail experiences, reflecting shifting consumer expectations and the growing value of experiential shopping. For ASOS, entering the physical retail landscape represents an exciting and calculated expansion strategy. One that will deepen relationships with U.S. customers and continue to solidify the brand's position as a versatile and accessible fashion retailer.
