Earnings season. AbbVie, Softbank, Honda, Neste, DSV and Umicore are among companies reporting their earnings today.

Results overview. Uber earns more than 5% after closing and Pinterest nearly 17% after their accounts. Honda raises its annual earnings forecast by taking advantage of a weaker yen. Suzuki Motor penalized by the slowdown in the Indian market.

New head at Credit Suisse. Tidjane Thiam resigned as CEO of Crédit Suisse, in the wake of the spinning mill affair, replaced by Thomas Gottstein. The press release issued by the bank was written in such a way as to show that the two parties leave each other good friends. Thiam reiterated his position regarding the surveillance that had been put in place on two of the bank's senior executives by other executives: he was unaware of it and concedes that it had had an anxiety-provoking and negative effect on the bank.

Airbus fills up. Net orders for Airbus reached 274 aircraft in January. An exceptionally dynamic start to the year, whereas January is usually a rather low month. The industrial sector benefited from two major American orders: Spirit Airline and the ALC leasing company. Over the period, deliveries reached 31 units. Should we see this as a repercussion of Boeing's setbacks? Probably a little.

Setbacks. The European Commission, as the latest rumors suggested, has opened an in-depth investigation into the takeover of GrandVision by EssilorLuxottica. Both companies said they are "confident that Phase II will be concluded in due course". The goal remains to complete the transaction between mid-summer next year and mid-summer 2021.

Backtracking. After an outcry from its shareholders, Intercontinental Exchange decided not to buy eBay. The American stock exchange operator had launched this rather curious project. The reaction of investors was not long in coming, since the stock has lost about 12% since the confirmation of interest. Too exotic, therefore, for ICE shareholders.

J&J still condemned. In New Jersey, Johnson & Johnson was sentenced to pay $750 million in the talc case. Under local law, not always easy to follow, the amount of damages could be reduced to $186.5 million. In this case, the group has won some cases and lost others, and it is not really easy to understand the ins and outs.

The end of the tunnel? Boeing has identified a new problem with the B737 MAX's software, the FAA announced, but the first test flight of the single-aisle aircraft could take place "in a few weeks", revealed the head of the American Civil Aviation Agency. A priori, the manufacturer still has to submit proposals to improve the electrical wiring of the aircraft. These announcements allowed the stock to rebound by 3.6% in closing on Wall Street yesterday.

In other. Apple is fined 25 M€ in France for misleading commercial practices. Burberry lowers its forecasts because of the situation in China. One more: ViacomCBS will launch its own streaming platform. The activist fund Elliott has invested $2.5bn in Softbank. Warner Music Group wants to go public. The e-cigarette has not said its last word: Juul is raising $700 million from investors. SpaceX is expected to spin off Starlink and pursue its IPO project. Intelsat is said to have reached an agreement with the FCC in the United States to obtain guarantees allowing it to avoid going through the bankruptcy process. Ceconomy is booming after its results, Aker Solutions is sinking.
