Airlines may be reluctant to take aircraft deliveries on tariff uncertainty, IATA says

Yahoo14 hours ago
SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Airlines may be reluctant to take delivery of aircraft due to the ongoing uncertainty around U.S. tariffs and their impact on the cost of the planes, International Air Transport Association Director-General Willie Walsh said on Wednesday.
"It's not just going to be a major Boeing and Airbus issue. It'll impact all aspects of the aerospace industry and have an impact on most, if not all, airlines as well," he said.
Walsh was speaking at a media roundtable in Singapore.
The 50% tariff that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose on Brazilian exports starting in August could hammer the revenue of planemaker Embraer like the COVID-19 pandemic did, its CEO warned on Tuesday, flagging risks to U.S. partners.
Francisco Gomes Neto told reporters the tariffs would amount to a trade embargo on the regional jets it supplies to U.S. airlines and could trigger order cancellations, deferred deliveries and tough consequences for Embraer's U.S. suppliers.

Big banks are back. Here's why.

Big banks are starting to flex again — and one analyst said their stocks are the best place for investors to be in the second half of 2025. Following better-than-expected earnings from Goldman Sachs (GS), Bank of America (BAC), and Morgan Stanley (MS), Argus Research director of financial services research Stephen Biggar said the environment now favors big players with exposure to capital markets. "These big banks are actually gaining share," Biggar said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid. Major banks are showing strong investment banking results and positive loan growth, with average loans up 5% at JPMorgan (JPM) and 7% at Bank of America. Year to date, stocks of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are up 22% and 19%, respectively, handily beating the S&P 500's (^GSPC) 6% gain. Morgan Stanley and BoA are up 10% and 3%, respectively. That's a significant shift from earlier in the year, when many on Wall Street were bracing for sluggish growth and cautious outlooks tied to tariff-related turmoil. Bank executives had struck a more conservative tone, particularly around the pace of investment banking recovery, but the latest numbers reveal a more optimistic story. Biggar argued that big banks are pulling ahead of regional players, largely because of their scale, diversification, and ability to benefit from improving capital markets activity. "I think regionals are struggling a bit here," Biggar said, adding that large firms are better positioned because they can grow more by increasing loans and expanding their service areas. For example, JPMorgan is adding 500 branches over the next few years and has a wider array of products for the average consumer, Biggar said. There are also regulatory tailwinds that could develop under the Trump administration, including the prospect of lower capital requirements from the Federal Reserve, which could free up big banks to lend more aggressively. That would add to already strong momentum in key areas like credit cards and commercial lending. Bigger added that the deck is currently stacked in favor of firms involved in equity and debt underwriting, advisory services, and trading. Goldman Sachs, for example, posted strong investment banking results in Q2, thanks in part to rising M&A activity and a pickup in debt underwriting. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley also showed strength in these areas, suggesting that deal activity is coming back to life. "There's a long runway ahead," he said. "We think there's a lot of pent-up demand in investment banking, more M&A activity, and an easier regulatory environment, which could mean the big banks would be the prime beneficiaries." While the news on big banks is solid, "the great news is on investment banking, and that's cyclical," Commerce Street Holdings CEO Dory Wiley said on Yahoo Finance's Market Catalysts. Wiley pointed to Huntington Bancshares' (HBAN) $1.9 billion acquisition of Veritex (VBTX) as a possible prelude to more regional bank consolidation across the US. "Investors are realizing this was priced in already," he said, noting that while some deal optimism is returning, "there's still a lot of pressure on the consumer."

Scotiabank Raises Comcast (CMCSA) Price Target, Maintains Sector Perform Rating

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is one of the Best Non-Mega Cap NASDAQ Stocks to Buy Right Now. Scotiabank has nudged its price target on Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) to $45 from $44.50, maintaining a rating on the stock. The adjustment reflects the bank's cautious optimism toward the broader Telecom, Media, and Technology (TMT) space as macroeconomic pressures intensify. A couple watching their favorite show on TV, enjoying the entertainment network service. In a note to clients, Scotiabank analysts described the TMT sector as a 'great place to hide' amid mounting global uncertainties, including slowing economic momentum and the impact of escalating tariff disputes. The firm sees companies like Comcast as relatively well-positioned to weather volatility, offering stability in a shifting landscape. While financial performance across the sector is expected to hold steady, Scotiabank flagged potential softness in key subscriber metrics. The bank pointed to slowing population growth, largely attributed to reduced immigration, as a factor that may weigh on new customer acquisition, particularly in broadband and wireless segments. Still, the firm sees Comcast's diversified portfolio, which spans broadband, content, and theme parks, as a buffer against near-term pressures. The modest target increase reflects both confidence in Comcast's earnings potential and caution over demographic headwinds. While we acknowledge the potential of CMCSA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
