☆ Secret Service acting director lays out changes after Trump assassination attempts
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-25 | by ( Whitney Wild | Holmes Lybrand | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —Senior-level personnel changes at the US Secret Service as well as the creation of new divisions are underway as the agency works to resolve security breakdowns that preceded the two attempts on former President Donald Trump’s life this summer. Typically, incoming presidents choose their own Secret Service director, and it’s hard to know whether Vice President Kamala Harris or Trump would retain Rowe. “I’m trying to get programs more closely aligned with the mission, getting them out to the field so that they are directly supporting enforcement operations, major criminal investigations and, of course, protective operations,” Rowe told CNN. Radio calls from local police who saw the shooter on the roof shortly before he opened fire never made it to the Secret Service. CNN has previously reported on the strain inside the Secret Service as the agency dramatically ramps up protection during the final stretch of the campaign season.

Sales, earnings, segment profit margin, and organic growth all came in ahead of expectations, despite some minor misses in certain operating segments. In addition to the strong headline results, Electrical Americas, its biggest division, realized another record for sales, segment profit, and segment margins — driven partly by data center demand for AI computing power. Electrical Americas achieved yet another record for sales, segment profit, and segment margins with management noting strength in the data center market. Management expects a segment margin of 22.4% to 22.8%, ahead of the 22.4% midpoint estimate.

Wall Street analysts on Monday issued a bearish call on Club holding Honeywell International , citing its lagging stock performance and sluggish growth prospects. We're hopeful management can get the company back on track by reshaping its massive portfolio of far-flung businesses. The analysts said investor concerns about subpar organic growth in Honeywell's massive portfolio have caused the stock to underperform its peers. Jim Cramer has acknowledged Honeywell's lackluster performance and urged CEO Vimal Kapur to reshape the company's portfolio.

Ball Corp. agreed to sell its aerospace division to U.K. defense contractor BAE Systems for $5.6 billion in cash, the companies announced Thursday. The deal is expected to close in the first half of next year, pending regulatory approval. The aerospace unit of Colorado-based Ball, widely known for its beverage and household packaging products, deals in manufacturing spacecraft and specialized aerial systems. BAE noted that more than 60% of Ball's 5,200 or so aerospace employees hold U.S. security clearances. Ball began shopping around its aerospace division earlier this year, looking for a deal that would help trim its nearly $10 billion in debt.

☆ We're giving Honeywell a new rating after shares tank on mixed quarterly results
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Shares of Honeywell (HON) fell Thursday after the industrial conglomerate reported disappointing second-quarter earnings and forward guidance. The segment margin, similar to an adjusted operating income margin, expanded 158 basis points year over year to 22.4%, edging out analysts' forecasts of a 22.3% margin. Quarterly results Along with strong numbers for its aerospace division, management said the outlook is the strongest its ever been. Though the safety and productivity solutions business remains pressured, we are pleased to see significant improvement in segment margin, even if it came in below expectations. Guidance On a full-year basis, these targets (see chart) represent slight increases at the midpoint, as the lower-end forecasts for sales, segment margin, and earnings were all upwardly revised.

Shares of the company rose 7% to hit a 1-1/2 year high after Boeing also posted second-quarter results above Wall Street expectations. The planemaker is now transitioning its 737 production line - including the MAX models that make up the vast majority of 737 production - to building 38 jets per month, up from 31, the company said. Calhoun later added the company is already in "prep mode" to raise monthly 737 production to 42, but wouldn't specify whether Boeing would do so in 2023, as Boeing Commercial Airplanes head Stan Deal said told Bloomberg TV in June.

NEW YORK, July 7 (Reuters) - Private equity firms Blackstone Inc (BX.N) and Veritas Capital Fund Management LLC are competing against large defense companies to acquire the aerospace business of Ball Corp (BALL.N), according to people familiar with the matter. The unit, which accounted for 13% of Ball's consolidated net sales in 2022, provides aerospace and national defense hardware, such as sensors and antennas. In June, Ball said it was considering options for its aerospace unit, after Reuters reported on the sale process. Blackstone owns Arka Group, an aerospace and defense technologies firm whose clients include the U.S. military, while Veritas owns companies including CAES Space Systems, which is a supplier of advanced electronic systems for aerospace and defense. Ball could incur a hefty tax bill of over $1 billion if the aerospace unit is sold for $5 billion or more, according to analysts at Jefferies.

PARIS/TORONTO, June 18 (Reuters) - A year ahead of the Paris Olympics, flying taxi maker Volocopter wants to prove to executives at the Paris Airshow it is on track to ferry customers around the sporting showcase and take off globally. Success could boost the broader urban air mobility sector by persuading risk-averse investors that air taxis are worth putting money into, analysts and executives said. No flying taxi maker, whether Germany's Lilium or American player Joby, has received certification so far. Air mobility projects that went public through special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) in recent years have lost at least 30% of their initial value. Venture capital is down across several industries, with a shift in spend from air taxis to drones, Riedel said.

June 16 (Reuters) - Ball Corp (BALL.N), the world's largest supplier of beer cans, is exploring a sale of its business that provides aerospace and national defense hardware, such as sensors and antennas, for over $5 billion, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Spokespeople for Ball and Textron did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while BAE declined to comment. Ball shares rose 7% to $58.57 in afternoon trading in New York on Friday, giving the company a market value of more than $18 billion.

There are positive short-term catalysts for our industrial holdings including the U.S. government's commitment to infrastructure spending, global decarbonization initiatives, and industrial automation. For all these reasons, Jim said EMR stock has been "stuck in the mud." EMR stock also pays a healthy 2.5% annual dividend yield and is a real dividend aristocrat.

The company also said it expects annual revenue between 3.35 billion pounds ($4.23 billion) and 3.45 billion pounds, while analysts are expecting a revenue of 3.4 billion pounds, according to company-compiled estimates. Melrose also said it will not seek acquisitions of "an unrelated industrial business or, in the near term, a material aerospace business," as it shifts its strategy to focus on aerospace. In April, Melrose listed shares in the former automotive division of British engineer GKN on the London Stock Exchange. Newly created Dowlais (DWL.L), which encompasses GKN's Automotive, Powder Metallurgy and Hydrogen businesses, was spun off to existing Melrose shareholders. It is still holding on to GKN's Aerospace division, which manufactures airframe and engine structures and interconnection systems for the aerospace industry.

Caterpillar revenue in Q1 increased 16.7% year over year to $15.86 billion, exceeding estimates of $15.26 billion, according to Refinitiv. Better-than-expected operating margin of 17% was so strong, due mostly to manufacturing costs that were not as high as expected as well as higher prices. Bottom Line on CAT This was a very strong quarter from Caterpillar as business continues to benefit from pricing power that outweighs costs. Even with oil down in the quarter, Caterpillar continues to see a lot of activity and strength in new engine sales to customers.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 9 (Reuters) - General Electric Co (GE.N) on Thursday reiterated its earnings outlook for this year as booming demand at its aerospace business is expected to make up for challenges at the company's renewable energy business. But GE Vernova, the company's portfolio of energy businesses, which includes renewables, is expected to report an operating loss of between $200 million and $600 million in 2023, GE said. GE's renewable energy business has failed to turn a profit in the past eight quarters due to a combination of weak demand, higher raw materials and labor costs and supply-chain pressures. This performance has cast a shadow over the company's plan to spin off GE Vernova into a separate company next year. The Boston-based industrial conglomerate said it is "transforming" its renewable energy business and expects profitable growth in the long-run.

Aerospace well positioned Honeywell's aerospace division — which supplies parts to plane makers Boeing (BA) and European rival Airbus — falls on the positive end of the economic spectrum. Warehouse automation weaker While Honeywell's warehouse automation business saw growth in the first two years of the Covid pandemic, it's been hurt by the shift in consumer spending toward services, away from goods. The change in how dollars are being spent has led to challenges for retailers and, by extension, softened demand for Honeywell's warehouse automation offerings. "We look at the other end like warehouse automation, which is really tied to retail growth and products and distribution. This means that revenue growth may decline year-over-year, but each dollar of warehouse automation sales could be more profitable in 2023 than in 2022.
