Historic Ferrari Sale Headlines Broad Arrow's Record-Setting Debut at Villa d'Este
A 1948 Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa shattered records at Broad Arrow Auctions' first European event, selling for €7,543,750 and setting a new high-water mark for the model. The landmark sale headlined Broad Arrow's debut at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, held on the shores of Lake Como in partnership with BMW AG.
The auction house, a subsidiary of Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), reported €31,172,625 in total sales over the May 24–25 weekend, with 78 percent of lots sold. The dual-day auction marked Broad Arrow's inaugural sale on European soil, held in the historic Rotunda at Villa Erba.
'We are thrilled with the success of our first European auction,' said Joe Twyman, Broad Arrow's VP of Sales for EMEA. 'To launch our presence with such a prestigious event and achieve several record-breaking results speaks volumes about our global client base and the quality of vehicles offered.'
The Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa, lauded as one of the most original early Ferraris in existence, was a standout. Commissioned in period by one of Enzo Ferrari's earliest customers, the car boasts a significant competition pedigree, including appearances in the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio. The auction room fell silent during a tense bidding war, with the final price confirming the car's place in the upper echelon of historic Ferrari values.
Other notable sales included a 2003 Honda NSX-R, which set a world auction record at €934,375, and a 1989 Ferrari F40 Competizione, which commanded €2,312,500. A BMW M1 Procar-spec car, sold during a BMW-only auction session, fetched €602,500.
With over 8,000 viewers following online, Broad Arrow's first Villa d'Este sale exceeded expectations, showcasing everything from postwar icons to modern collectibles. The auction house will next head to California for its Monterey Jet Center sale this August 13–14.

Trane Technologies Raises Full-Year Outlook After Record Bookings
Trane Technologies plc (NYSE:TT) raised its full-year guidance Tuesday after posting better-than-expected second-quarter earnings, bolstered by strong demand in its Americas Commercial HVAC segment and record bookings. Despite the upbeat earnings report, the company's shares experienced an 8% decline in morning trading. The climate solutions company reported adjusted earnings of $3.88 per share, an increase of 18% from a year earlier and above the Wall Street consensus of $3.79. Net revenue was $5.75 billion, up 8% year-over-year but just short of analysts' estimates of $5.76 billion. Bookings reached a record $5.63 billion, up 5% from the same quarter last year. This was fueled by more than 60% growth in applied solutions orders within the Americas Commercial HVAC unit. Total enterprise backlog ended the quarter at $7.1 billion, up 6% from the end of EBITDA rose 12% to $1.25 billion, with margins improving 70 basis points to 21.8%. Adjusted operating income rose 14% and margin expanded by 90 bps to 20.3%. 'Our performance continues to be led by Americas Commercial HVAC, with strong demand for our sustainable solutions across a broad base of highly complex projects,' said Chair and CEO Dave Regnery. 'We're confident in raising our full-year revenue and EPS guidance.' Americas revenue grew 9% to $4.69 billion, with bookings up 8%. The unit posted a 130-basis-point gain in adjusted operating margin, driven by robust demand and price realization. EMEA revenue climbed 10% to $707.9 million, but organic growth slowed to 3% and margins contracted 150 basis points due to inflation and reinvestments. Asia Pacific saw bookings fall 16% and revenue drop 7% amid continued volume weakness, with margins down across the board. View more earnings on TT Through the first half of 2025, Trane generated $1.04 billion in operating cash flow and $841 million in free cash flow. The company deployed or committed approximately $1.8 billion, including $1 billion in share repurchases, $420 million in dividends, and $275 million in M&A. Outlook Trane Technologies raised its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to approximately $13.05, up from the prior $12.70-$12.90 range and above the $12.93 consensus estimate. GAAP EPS guidance was also increased to $13.30, compared to the previous $12.95-$13.15 range and ahead of the $13.03 Street view. Full-year revenue is now expected to reach $21.62 billion, topping both the prior guidance range of $21.33-$21.52 billion and the consensus estimate of $21.53 billion. Trane expects ~9% reported revenue growth for fiscal year 2025, including ~8% organic growth and a 100 basis-point contribution from M&A. The company reaffirmed its commitment to margin discipline, projecting adjusted EPS growth of 16% year over year despite a ~15-cent EPS headwind from acquisitions and $140 million in expected tariff-related costs. Trane also anticipates 25%+ organic leverage and continued strategic investment in digital, automation, and innovation. For the third quarter, the company guided ~6% organic revenue growth and adjusted EPS of ~$3.80+, including a ~3-cent M&A-related impact versus $3.78 Street View. Price Action: TT shares were trading lower by 7.22% to $436.98 at last check Wednesday. Read Next:Image by CC Photo Labs via Shutterstock UNLOCKED: 5 NEW TRADES EVERY WEEK.

Rosen Law Firm Encourages Novo Nordisk A/S Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO) resulting from allegations that Novo Nordisk may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. So What: If you purchased Novo Nordisk securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses. What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. What is this about: On July 29, 2025, Novo Nordisk issued a press release entitled 'Novo Nordisk lowers sales and operating profit outlook for 2025,' in which it lowered its outlook. The release stated that the 'lowered sales outlook for 2025 is driven by lower growth expectations for the second half of 2025. This is related to lower growth expectations for Wegovy® in the US obesity market, lower growth expectations for Ozempic® in the US GLP-1 diabetes market, as well as lower-than-expected penetration for Wegovy® in select IO markets.' Further, '[f]or Wegovy® in the US, the sales outlook reflects the persistent use of compounded GLP-1s, slower-than-expected market expansion and competition.' On this news, Novo Nordisk's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) fell 21.8% on July 29, 2025. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
