The billionaire family controlling Puig Brands SA may weigh options — including buying its stock — to revive the Spanish beauty-products group's sagging shares, its chief executive officer said.
Shares of Puig, owner of perfume brands like Jean Paul Gaultier and makeup label Charlotte Tilbury, had tumbled more than 34% since its splashy listing as Europe's biggest IPO in 2024. They rose as much as 2% in Madrid on Monday.

Atalanta Talisman Only Wants Inter Milan – But Could Change Stance If Decisive Offer Not Accepted
Ademola Lookman only wants to join Inter Milan this summer, but could change his stance if Atalanta do not accept the Nerazzurri's next offer. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian international is their top target in attack this summer. The Nerazzurri have already made an offer to Atalanta for Lookman. La Dea have rejected the initial bid, which Inter have not yet increased. However, the player himself reportedly wants to join. Widespread reports indicate that Inter's first offer to Atalanta was for €40 million. Atalanta, on the other hand, are reportedly holding out for around €50 million. Ademola Lookman Only Wants Inter – But Could Change Stance If Offer Not Accepted BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 25: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Parma Calcio 1913 at Gewiss Stadium on May 25, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) A key driver in the talks between Inter and Atalanta is the stance of Ademola Lookman himself. The 27-year-old has made it very clear that he wants to join the Nerazzurri. He already agreed personal terms on the move prior to Inter's first offer to Atalanta. And for now, Lookman still feels the same way. He is insisting on joining Inter. However, the Corriere dello Sport note, Lookman could start to waver if Inter can't wrap up a deal soon. The Nerazzurri will submit a new offer this coming week. They will raise it to around €42 million plus €3 million in add-ons, the Corriere anticipate. If Atalanta feel this is high enough, then Lookman will get his wish – a transfer to Inter. However, if La Dea continue to balk at Inter's offer, then the Nigerian international could very well consider other possibilities.

Barcelona confident of closing agreement with 24-year-old star
Barcelona are not expected to make any further signings this summer, but there is still key business that needs to be done. Sales are required for a number of players to be registered with La Liga, and on top of this, contract talks are set to take place with several first team stars. An agreement on a new deal with Jules Kounde has recently been finalised, sporting director Deco will move on to other players. And two that are classed as priorities for Barcelona are Frenkie de Jong and Eric Garcia. Both players are out of contract in less than 12 months' time, so it is essential for new terms to be agreed in the coming weeks. In regards to de Jong, talks with his new representatives are expected to take place soon, and this could also be the case for Eric. It has previously been reported that Eric had been close to an agreement on a new contract, but rather, the process has been slow. As per MD, both parties are seeking a resolution soon, with the plan being for the 24-year-old defender to remain at the Catalan club for years to come. Image via Cordon Press Hansi Flick is counting on Eric for next season Barcelona want to sell at least one centre-back this summer, although Hansi Flick has made it clear that he does not want Eric to go. Like Kounde, he can play at right-back as well as in central defence, and he values this versatility. Barcelona expect there to be no problems in reaching an agreement with Eric, although it may not come for a few weeks at least. They are aware that the player is happy in Catalonia, and his preference would be to remain in Flick's squad for a while yet. For now, it remains to be seen whether that turns out to be the case.

The Rolls-Royce share price has soared 66% already this year! Can it really keep going?
Back at the start of 2025, I thought the business outlook for Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) was promising – but was less enthusiastic about its share price. In January, after the Rolls-Royce share price had already increased 513% since the end of 2022 just a couple of years before, here is what I wrote: 'If the company can improve its profitability as it hopes to, earnings per share ought to increase. That prospect alone could see the Rolls-Royce share price increase this year, especially if the company issues upbeat news about how it is performing relative to its medium-term goals.' Lo and behold, six months on and that has come to pass. The share price is now 66% above where it was at the start of 2025, despite having already performed brilliantly in the several years leading up to that. So can this incredible run possibly continue – and ought I to invest? Why I didn't buy then I ought to start by explaining why, since I could see how the share price might grow this year, I did not buy back in January and subsequently missed out on the 66% increase. The issue then was not the underlying business. It was simply that I felt the share price was too high to offer me a satisfactory margin of safety. The company did indeed issue upbeat news about its medium-term goals. Not only did it meet some of them early, but it raised those goals. The City lapped that up and the Rolls-Royce share price has accordingly performed brilliantly in 2025. I am happy with my decision back in January, as each investor needs to strike their own balance between risk and potential reward. But, with the business now looking even stronger than it did back then, could now be my moment to buy? Not a cheap valuation Currently, the Rolls-Royce share price is 33 times earnings. That looks pricey to me, especially for a long-established company in a mature industry. Last year's net profit margin of 13% was decent, but Rolls operates in an area that typically offers middling profit margins at best and I do not see that changing dramatically. Momentum could keep pushing the share price up. As an investor not a speculator, I ignore that and seek to buy shares in companies that I think have good businesses and an attractive price tag, due to competitive pressures. I like the business. Rolls-Royce has a large installed client base, lots of patented technology and a world-class engineering expertise. The price still looks too expensive for my tastes though. It could get cheaper from a forward-looking perspective if revenues rise, profit margins increase, or both. High demand in defence and civil aviation could boost revenues. Meanwhile, Rolls' efficiency programme may boost profit margins. But I see a limit to growing profitability without becoming less competitive versus rivals. Meanwhile, a massive risk I see to revenues is the sort of occasional unforeseen event like a pandemic or war that sinks demand for civil aviation overnight. If that does not materialise and business remains strong, I reckon the Rolls-Royce share price could potentially keep rising. But I am uncomfortable with those risks given the current valuation, so will not be investing. The post The Rolls-Royce share price has soared 66% already this year!
