Spirit plans to raise $200 million via the sale of Class A common stock as well as issue $200 million in convertible debt set to mature in 2028, the company said after the closing bell on Tuesday. Its shares fell to as low as $20.98 on Wednesday following the news and are now down more than 25% year-to-date. Spirit is a major supplier of large aircraft parts such as wings and fuselages for manufacturers including Boeing (BA.N) and Airbus (AIR.PA). Last week, Spirit projected higher-than-expected cash burn for 2023, forcing it to slash anticipated deliveries of 737 fuselages. Free cash burn will be between $275 million and $325 million for 2023, up from a previous range of between $200 million to $250 million.

The verdict could upend decades-old practices that have allowed real estate agents to boost commissions by forcing sellers to pay commissions to buyers' real estate brokers. Representatives of Compass and Douglas Elliman declined to comment. BTIG analyst Soham Bhonsle in an investor note said the fact that Douglas Elliman, Redfin, Compass and eXp were being sued by the same lawyers was a negative for their stocks. Zillow (ZG.O) shares initially fell 0.33% after brokerage Jefferies cut its price target, citing the impact of Tuesday's verdict. While Zillow is not a defendant in either lawsuit, Jefferies said Tuesday's verdict "increases the chances of a ban on commission sharing and Zillow having to pivot the business model."

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Several U.S. regional banks beat analysts third-quarter profit expectations on Wednesday as higher interest rates allowed them to charge more for loans, although rising loan loss provisions and deposit retention costs crimped margins. Shares of several regional banks fell, including M&T Bank and US Bancorp. Regional banks remain a focus of investor scrutiny. The KBW regional banking index (.KRX) is down nearly 24% year-to-date, while the S&P regional bank (.SPCOMBNKS) has also dropped 33% in the same period. Citizens Financial Group (CFG.N) and First Horizon Corp (FHN.N) both reported a decline in their third quarter profit weighed down by rising credit loss provisions and deposit costs.

The logo for Lululemon Athletica is seen at a store in Manhattan, New York, U.S., December 7, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Lululemon Athletica's (LULU.O) stock jumped by more than 10% to an almost two-year high on Monday buoyed by the addition of the Canadian sportswear maker into the Wall Street benchmark S&P 500 index. Inclusion of a company into the S&P 500 usually causes demand for its shares to jump as mutual fund managers and other institutional investors tracking the index begin adding the stock to their portfolios. The stock is now up nearly 30% year-to-date, giving the company a market capitalization of more than $52 billion. In September, Lululemon agreed to a deal with Peloton Interactive (PTON.O) to become the primary athletic-apparel maker for the U.S. fitness bike manufacturer.

NEW YORK, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Shares of electric-vehicle startup Fisker Inc (FSR.N) rose by more than 20% on Tuesday after the company reaffirmed its plan to increase deliveries of its flagship Ocean sports utility vehicle, and a bullish Wall Street analyst report. The EV maker said it had built 5,000 Ocean SUVs and expects to ramp up deliveries to 300 units per day later this year, reiterating a plan announced earlier this month by Chief Executive Henrik Fisker. Fisker's shares rose as high as $6.47, and were on course for their biggest daily percentage gain since April. "The automotive industry is undergoing a once-in-a-century revolution with technology advancement on electrification, autonomy, and digitization," the analysts said. Unlike other EV makers, Fisker has outsourced its vehicle production to Canadian auto part supplier Magna International (MG.TO).

Like many financial institutions in the current high interest rate environment, Northern Trust is confronting growing financing costs as tries to hold onto deposits. Northern Trust shares sank to $69.81, down more than 9%, to their lowest level since mid-July after Tyler's comments. A Northern Trust spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further comment. Asset and wealth managers, including Northern Trust and peer State Street Corp (STT.N), are seeing a decline in NII as customers move deposits to higher yielding alternatives. In July, Northern Trust reported that its deposits fell by 10% to $91.9 billion in the second quarter, although Tyler said on Tuesday deposits have generally stabilized.

Millennials and Gen Xers didn't fall far behind Gen Z on the scale of guilt. And only about half of Gen Zers surveyed by LinkedIn said they had planned a vacation this year. Luxury retail client advisor Razonie Napier told Insider that he struggles with turning off his work phone when he's on vacation.

The new campaign by the group working to pass the August measure, called Protect Women Ohio, includes a $4.5 million expenditure on two new 30-second television ads, as well as $1 million on statewide radio and digital ads. The ads continue a strategy by the group to tie the Aug. 8 measure, as well as a November ballot measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, to parental rights restrictions. Protect Women Ohio’s ads and statements also argue that the presence of ACLU of Ohio in the pro-amendment coalition is evidence of a push beyond abortion rights. The group has also, so far, committed $25 million for ads to oppose the November ballot measure. If voters pass the threshold measure in August, then the proposed abortion rights amendment in November would need 60% support from voters to pass.

NEW YORK, July 31 (Reuters) - Shares of SoFi Technologies Inc (SOFI.O) rose by more than 22% on Monday, hitting highest level in more than a year, after the financial services provider reported second quarter results that beat analyst expectations. That result exceeded the average analyst estimate of $476.2 million and $261.3 million for SoFi's revenue and NII, according to Refinitiv data. SoFi's shares rose as high as $11.70, the highest level since March last year, before closing at $11.45 on Monday - a nearly 20% gain from the previous session. "(Second quarter) results beat expectations and were largely positive with continued rapid member and deposit growth," Jefferies analysts, led by John Hecht, said in an investor note. "We highlight that results were more from net interest income and less from fair value marks relative to our forecast, which represents recurring revenues," the analysts added.

July 19 (Reuters) - The shares of Northern Trust (NTRS.O) jumped by more than 14% on Wednesday after the asset and wealth manager reported a smaller-than-expected drop in second quarter net interest income underpinned by higher interest rates and slower deposit losses. Analysts were, however, expecting a bigger drop in Northern Trust's quarter-on-quarter NII just like State Street. Northern Trust's shares were trading at $82.14, on track for its biggest one-day percentage gain since March 2020. Total revenue fell 1% to $1.77 billion in the quarter as Northern Trust generated fewer fees from its custodial, investment, and wealth management businesses. Northern Trust said its total assets under custody increased 5% to $14.48 trillion, while total asset management also rose 5% to $1.37 trillion.
