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.

BHP Group can't cherry pick Anglo American assets without paying a hefty premium, Anglo investors told Reuters, concerned that they stand to lose heavily by holding shares in South African subsidiaries.

JGB yields rise with US peers, yen steady as Fed outcome awaited
The yen was steady at 157.87 per dollar following two days of volatile trade that saw it tumble beyond 160 for the first time in 34 years and then spring back as far as 154.40 in what now looks almost certain to have been intervention by Japanese authorities. The 10-year JGB yield rose 2 basis points to 0.89% as of 0543 GMT on Wednesday, recouping some ground lost the previous day, when it fell as low as 0.865%. Monday was a national holiday in Japan, forcing local investors to catch up with two days of declines for U.S. yields.

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.

UPDATE 1-Spirit Aero says it has a new plan to address Boeing 737 MAX parts demand
Spirit AeroSystems said it has developed a plan that gives it “a high degree of confidence” to meet U.S. planemaker Boeing's rate and quality demands for parts for the 737 MAX jet, the company told Reuters on Wednesday. Boeing is under pressure to restore slumping production of its strong-selling narrowbody jet to 38 per month in the second half of the year as it grapples with a sprawling safety crisis following a January mid-air panel blowout on a new 737 MAX plane. Boeing is pressing Spirit Aero, its key supplier, to improve the quality of the fuselages it produces for the MAX at a higher rate for the second half of 2024.
