REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File PhotoAug 7 (Reuters) - Brokerage Morgan Stanley on Monday warned that lofty U.S. equity valuations could be questioned by investors if aggressive fiscal spending is curtailed after the downgrade of sovereign debt by ratings agency Fitch last week. While aggressive fiscal spending could continue, given the debt ceiling has been raised, fiscal policy has limits as deficits would widen - one of the reasons for Fitch's downgrade. "Investors will to call into question equity valuations, which were already high before the recent rise in yields," Wilson said in a weekend note. "If fiscal spending must be curtailed due to higher political or funding costs, the unfinished earnings decline that began last year is more likely to resume."

July 26 (Reuters) - Allegion (ALLE.N) raised its annual profit forecast on Wednesday after price increases and solid demand for its electric security devices helped it beat quarterly earnings estimates. "We expect end markets will be stable with continued strong demand for our electronic solutions," CEO John Stone said. Still, the weakness in the residential business prompted the company to lower the top end of its full-year revenue forecast. It now expects full-year organic revenue growth of 5.5% to 6.5%, compared with a prior forecast range of 5.5% to 7.5%. That compared with analysts' estimates for revenue of $934.7 million on profit of $1.71, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

That special fee, which the FDIC proposed in May, would be assessed based on their uninsured deposits at the end of 2022. The regulator said some banks were "not reporting estimated uninsured deposits in accordance with the instructions." A July 6 report by S&P Global noted 55 banks restated their fourth-quarter uninsured deposits in FDIC reports, more than twice the norm. Specifically, the FDIC reminded banks they must report uninsured deposits backed by pledged assets as well as uninsured deposits held at their own subsidiaries. “Earlier this year, we identified certain internal or intra-bank accounts that shouldn’t have been reported,” Bank of America spokesman Bill Halldin said.

Companies NextDecade Corp FollowJuly 13 (Reuters) - NextDecade Corp shares (NEXT.O) fell 23% on Thursday on investor worries over the terms of $18.4 billion financing the U.S. liquefied natural gas developer obtained to go ahead with the long-delayed Phase 1 of Rio Grande LNG export facility.

It also said the lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contracts of $12 billion were lower than its forecast of $12.5 billion.

NextDecade is expected to produce 27 million tonnes of LNG a year from the facility.

☆ Salesforce to raise prices of some cloud products from August

July 11 (Reuters) - Salesforce (CRM.N) will raise prices for some of its cloud and marketing tools by an average 9% from August, the maker of software for customer relations management said, sending its shares up nearly 4% in early trading on Tuesday. Its first price hike in seven years comes at a time when Salesforce and several other technology companies are increasing their spending to include generative artificial intelligence (AI) to their products and services. The price hike also comes as revenues from cloud services that grew at a scorching pace during the pandemic lockdown have started to slow. Growth at big cloud players such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), Amazon.com (AMZN.O) and Alphabet (GOOGL.O) has come under pressure as enterprise clients look to optimize their cloud spending amid rising cost of borrowing. The new prices for Tableau, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud and Industries will cover new and existing customers, Salesforce said.

Companies Novavax Inc FollowJuly 7 (Reuters) - Novavax Inc (NVAX.O) said on Friday Canada will pay $349.6 million to settle the forfeiting of certain doses of its COVID-19 vaccine previously scheduled for delivery. The U.S. vaccine maker also reached a deal with the country's public works and government services department to amend the advance purchase contract after a sharp decline in global demand left a raft of COVID-19 doses unused. The number of vaccine doses due for delivery has been reduced and the schedule for remaining doses to be shipped revised under the amended terms, the company said. The payment will be made in two equal installments in 2023 and the original value of the contract remains unchanged. Novovax – which has its COVID-19 vaccine as the only marketed product after 35 years in business – has raised doubts about its ability to remain in business, flagging uncertainties around its revenue and funding crunch.

☆ Trump-tied SPAC reaches agreement with SEC staff over merger

July 3 (Reuters) - A blank-check firm, which was set to merge with former U.S. President Donald Trump's media company and under regulatory investigation, has reached an agreement with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a filing showed on Monday. The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.O), said in the filing that the agreement was in principle and not yet definitive, and the terms were subject to the SEC's approval. In October 2021, Trump's newly formed media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), announced a deal to go public by merging with DWAC. But the SPAC deal was in doubt after the Justice Department and the SEC said they were investigating it. If the SEC approves the settlement, it will enter a cease-and-desist order finding DWAC violated certain antifraud provisions in connection with the proposed merger.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency might still adjust its plans before announcing the recommendations in the coming months, the report added. Federal Home Loan Banks are 11 U.S. government-chartered institutions that raise money for low-cost lending to their member regional banks. For many of the member banks, they are a preferred final stop for cash before banks in need turn to the Federal Reserve itself as a last resort.
