Australian retailer Woolworths to sell $303 million stake in Endeavour Group
(Reuters) -Australian retailer Woolworths said on Wednesday that it would sell a 5% stake worth A$468 million ($302.84 million) in Endeavour Group, almost three years after spinning out the liquor store and pub operator. The sale will happen via a block trade at a price of A$5.22 per share, Australia's largest supermarket operator said, adding that it would now own about 4.1% of Endeavour, which it spun out as a separate company in 2021. Shares of Woolworths slipped 0.4%, while those of Endeavour were down 5% in early trade.

Trump raises stake in his media firm to nearly 65%
The former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate secured 36 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), increasing his stake from 57.6% as of March. Reuters reported last week that Trump would secure a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion from TMTG, equivalent to about half the majority stake he already owns in it, thanks to the wild rally in its shares. The bonus also reflects the exuberant trading in TMTG's shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was snapped up by Trump supporters and speculators.

Growing wildfire risk leaves states grappling with how to keep property insurers from fleeing
Months after a catastrophic fire burned more than 2,200 homes in Hawaii, some property owners are getting more bad news — their property insurance won't be renewed because their insurance company has deemed the risk too high. Insurance providers, state regulators and researchers are grappling with how to keep the insurance companies in business while keeping residents and their properties insured and protected. “I think most of the insurers, you know, I’m very grateful that they’re committed to the Hawaii market, so we haven’t seen wholesale withdrawals,” after the Aug. 8, 2023 fire burned through Lahaina and killed 101 people, Hawaii Insurance Commissioner Gordon Ito said during a Wildfire Risk Forum for insurance commissioners held at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.

China is directly shaping Apple and Tesla. Here's how.
Apple (AAPL) has faced several challenges recently, including a loss of market share to Huawei in China. According to data from Counterpoint Research, iPhone sales fell over 19% within the first 3 months of 2024.

UPDATE 2-PayPal lifts 2024 profit forecast, execs focus on branded checkout growth
PayPal executives on Tuesday emphasized plans to reignite growth in branded checkout products that have struggled in recent years as big tech expanded market share, after the payments firm raised its forecast for full-year adjusted profit. The company's stock had struggled last year on fears that the entry of Apple and Alphabet's Google in digital payments could take away a big chunk of PayPal's mainstay business. PayPal's unbranded businesses have grown, but weakness in its branded business such as Venmo has been central to investor anxieties.
