Honda Motor reports 76% plunge in operating profit in huge earnings miss

Fourth-quarter revenue was in line with LSEG mean estimates, but fourth-quarter operating profit posted a huge miss. Revenue for the full financial year rose 6.2%, but operating profit fell 12.2% and missed expectationsJapanese auto giant Honda missed fourth-quarter earnings estimates as operating profit plunged 76%, with the company bracing for the full impact of U.S. tariffs.Here are Honda’s results compared with mean estimates from LSEG: Revenue: 5.36 trillion yen ($47.26 billion) vs. 5.36 trillion yen Operating profit: 73.5 billion yen vs. 275.52 billion yenHonda’s fourth quarter ends March 31.For its financial year ended March, revenue came in at 21.69 trillion yen, compared to the average expectation of 21.63 trillion yen from LSEG and marking a 6.2% rise year on year.Operating profit fell 12.2% to 1.21 trillion yen, against the average LSEG estimate of 1.41 trillion yen.Honda’s results come amid trade tensions with the U.S., which has slapped a 25% tariff on foreign automobile imports.In March, Honda had reportedly decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to a Reuters exclusive.According to U.S. car marketplace Carpro, Asian automakers made up six of the top eight automakers in the U.S. by sales volume in 2024, with Honda in fourth place.Back in February, Honda and rival Nissan terminated talks over a $60 billion merger, which would have created the world’s third-largest automaker by sales volume.This is breaking news.

DHS Investigates Los Angeles For Allegedly Providing Federal Benefits To Illegal Immigrants

DHS Investigates Los Angeles For Allegedly Providing Federal Benefits To Illegal Immigrants

DHS Investigates Los Angeles For Allegedly Providing Federal Benefits To Illegal Immigrants Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),The Department of Homeland Security has issued a subpoena to Los Angeles County for records tied to a state-run assistance program, which the department alleges might have been used to unlawfully provide federal benefits to illegal immigrants.A Social Security Administration building in Burbank, Calif., on Nov. 5, 2020. Valerie Macon/AFP via Getty ImagesHomeland Security Investigations served a Title 8 subpoena to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, which administers California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants.While the cash assistance program is a state-funded initiative, the federal subpoena seeks records from January 2021 to the present to determine whether any recipients received Supplemental Security Income benefits but who were ineligible, based on their immigration status.The requested documents include applications, immigration status records, proof of Supplemental Security Income ineligibility, and supporting affidavits, DHS said in an announcement.“Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.“If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County—it is just the beginning.”The move comes less than a month after President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing federal agencies to crack down on misuse of Social Security Act funds. The April 15 directive, aimed at enforcing Executive Order 14218, calls on federal officials to identify and prevent payments to ineligible recipients, including those without lawful immigration status.Trump’s memorandum directs federal agencies to investigate fraud and prioritize enforcement in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. It also calls for expanding fraud prosecution programs through special assistant U.S. attorneys, particularly targeting identity theft and improper benefit payments.According to DHS, more than 2 million illegal immigrants were issued Social Security numbers in fiscal year 2024 under prior policies. The department said it is now working with other agencies to prevent any further disbursement of benefits to ineligible recipients.The Social Security Administration previously expressed support for the White House memo and outlined steps it is taking to prevent future benefit fraud. In an April 16 statement, acting Commissioner Leland Dudek said the agency is committed to ensuring that benefits are “paid only to those who should receive them.”The Social Security Administration said it is reviewing questionable earnings reports and considering whether to resume civil monetary penalties in cases of fraud. The agency also confirmed that it recently reclassified more than 6,300 Social Security numbers as ineligible after identifying recipients who had been paroled into the U.S. despite criminal records or national security concerns.California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, and the California Department of Social Services did not respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times before publication.Naveen Athrappully contributed to this report.

CNBC Daily Open: Is the trade agreement between the U.S. and China a ‘Trump put'?

The U.S. and China on Monday agreed to an initial trade deal that cuts “reciprocal” tariffs from 125% to 10% for 90 days. Chinese officials, influencers and state-run media on Monday were casting the trade agreement with U.S. as a victory. Now that the U.S. and China have struck an agreement over tariffs, major global banks are growing optimistic on Beijing’s economy and market in 2025. News of the two superpowers’ trade deal turbocharged U.S. stocks on Monday. Shares of technology and consumer discretionary stocks jumped. The idea of a “Trump put” was resurrected by the president’s trade agreement with China. The S&P 500 shot past a key technical indicator, and looks to be on its way to surpass another.Over the weekend, both the U.S. and China agreed to slash tariffs on each other for 90 days from 125% to 10%. That’s much more than expected, as Trump on Friday has said that an 80% tariff on China “seems right!” The U.S. is still keeping its 20% fentanyl-related levy on China, so the total duty on Beijing adds up to 30%.While high, 30% is a far cry from 145%. Investors were ecstatic, and sent stocks soaring. Technology names such as Nvidia and Broadcom, as well as consumer discretionary stocks including Nike and Starbucks, rallied. The market frenzy brought to mind the “Trump put,” the notion a falling market will prompt measures from the president that prop it up.That said, as Dario Perkins, managing director of global macro strategy at TS Lombard pointed out, it is “(sort of) of funny that the optimistic case for Trump 2.0 is basically that it will reverse most of what it has done so far.”A Trump put, perhaps, is just the president putting things back where they once were.What you need to know todayChina and U.S. suspend most tariffsThe U.S. and China on Monday agreed to an initial trade deal that suspends most tariffs on imports for 90 days. “Reciprocal” tariffs between both countries will be cut from 125% to 10%, but the U.S.′ 20% duties on Chinese imports relating to fentanyl will remain, meaning total tariffs on China stand at 30%. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Monday that the deal represents progress in the country’s “decoupling” from China for “strategic necessities.”A win for China, according to BeijingReferring to the U.S.-China trade deal, U.S. President Donald Trump said Beijing “agreed to open up,” but offered few other details. However, Chinese officials, influencers and state-run media on Monday were casting the trade agreement with U.S. as a victory and vindication of Beijing’s negotiating strategy, “China’s firm countermeasures and resolute stance have been highly effective,” said a social media account linked to China’s national broadcaster CCTV.Deal boosts China’s prospectsNow that the U.S. and China have struck an agreement over tariffs, major global banks are growing optimistic on Beijing’s economy and market in 2025. In a late Monday note, UBS hiked its forecast for China’s economic growth to between 3.7% and 4% from 3.4%, while Nomura raised China equities to “tactical Overweight” and rotated some funds out of its position in India to China, the Japanese said in a note following the trade talks.Investors cheered trade dealNews of the two superpowers’ trade deal turbocharged U.S. stocks on Monday. The S&P 500 shot up 3.26%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 2.81% and the Nasdaq Composite surged 4.35%. U.S. Treasury yields and oil prices jumped during U.S hours as the chance of a recession appeared to diminish. However, Asia-Pacific markets were mixed Tuesday. Even though Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose more than 1.7%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell nearly 1.5%.Technology shares rallied stronglyMembers of the so-called Magnificent 7 group added an aggregate $837.5 billion in market value on Monday, the largest collective move for the group since April 9. Outside this bag of stocks and their technology peers, consumer discretionary stocks also rallied. The U.S.-China agreement resurrected the idea of the “Trump put,” in which the president will take action to prevent markets from falling too drastically.[PRO] S&P shoots past key levelWith the S&P’s rally on Monday, the broad-based index has broken through a key technical level. The speed of the movement, however, is not typical, and suggests that investors were caught off guard by trade developments — and might continue to be for the next market milestone.And finally...Betty Laura Zapata | Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe app icons for Revolut and Monzo displayed on a smartphone.Fintechs that raked in profits from high interest rates now face a key testFinancial technology firms were initially the biggest losers of interest rate hikes by global central banks in 2022, which led to tumbling valuations.But with time, that change in the interest rate environment steadily boosted profits for fintechs. This is because higher rates boost what’s called net interest income — or the difference between the rates charged for loans and the interest paid out to savers.Now, fintechs — especially digital banks — face a key test as a broad decline in interest rates raises doubts about the sustainability of relying on this heightened income over the long term.

Kim Kardashian to testify against ‘grandpa robbers' in Paris trial over $9M jewelry heist

Kim Kardashian will take the stand in a Paris courtroom on Tuesday to testify against a gang of 10 people known as the “grandpa robbers” who are accused of stealing jewelry worth $9 million at gunpoint from her in one of the most audacious celebrity heists in modern French history. Almost nine years after the break-in at the reality star turned business mogul’s luxury suite at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, an anonymous-looking building known as “No Address” frequented by A-list celebrities, the reality star will face the suspects accused of armed robbery, kidnapping and other criminal charges.Dubbed the “grandpa robbers” by French media because of their ages, the suspects allegedly posed as police officers before they overpowered the concierge, who was forced to act as a translator as they tied Kardashian up in the bedroom of the luxury suite. Months after the robbery made headlines, Kardashian talked about the incident during a season 13 episode of E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” “My door was open like this, and then I saw two guys holding another guy down in police uniforms, but right outside of my bedroom, 5 feet away,” she told her sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian in an emotional conversation. She said she saw the two men holding down the concierge, who was handcuffed and had a key to her room. “What I’ve heard from talking to him afterward is, they said, you know, ‘Where’s the rapper’s wife? Let us up to her room!’ in French,” she said, referring to her then-husband, the artist Ye, formerly Kanye West.The episode which aired in March 2017 has been viewed 3.8 million times on E!’s YouTube channel.Ahead of the robbery, Kardashian had posted real-time updates from her hotel suite, showing off a 20-carat diamond ring, gifted to her by Ye and investigators believe the gang followed her online, combing through images, timestamps, geotags, before employing old-school criminal methods to conduct the robbery. Most of the defendants were arrested three months after the robbery as police launched a huge operation that involved piecing together security camera footage and DNA evidence. But the legal process was beset by delays and many of the aging defendants are now suffering from illnesses and one of them has since died. Another is too unwell to stand trial.Among the defendants at the trial which began last month are Aomar Ait Khedache, 69, known as “Old Omar,” who is accused of being the plot’s mastermind. His son and alleged getaway driver, Harminy, 37, has also been charged along with Didier “Blue Eyes” Dubreucq, 69. The brother of Kardashian’s driver in Paris, Gary Madar, 35, is accused of providing the alleged gang members with information about her whereabouts and 78-year-old Christiane Glotin, is accused of being an accomplice in planning the heist.
