JetSMART Airlines hopes to begin talks to buy Colombia's Viva Air https://www.announcement.news/jetsmart-airlines-hopes-to-begin-talks-to-buy-colombias-viva-air-25/ https://www.announcement.news/jetsmart-airlines-hopes-to-begin-talks-to-buy-colombias-viva-air-25/#respond Sun, 04 Jun 2023 10:53:06 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74319 BOGOTA, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Indigo Partners-backed budget carrier JetSMART Airlines said on Tuesday that it wanted to buy Colombian low-cost carrier Viva Air, in a move that if successful would scupper Viva’s plans to merge with Colombian flag carrier Avianca.

Chile-based JetSMART Airlines said in a statement that it planned to open talks to buy the Colombian airline but it did not disclose how much it might pay to acquire Viva, nor evdEn eve NakliYat its funding plans.

JetSMART is part of private investor Indigo Partners’ portfolio of budget airlines alongside U. If you treasured this article and also you would like to collect more info regarding eVdEn Eve NAKliyAT please visit our own web-site. S.-based Frontier Airlines, Europe’s Wizz Air and Mexico’s Volaris.

The Chilean carrier currently operates 79 routes across South America, including flights to Colombian capital Bogota as well as Medellin and Cali.

“We believe that a merger between JetSMART and Viva Air will allow us to maintain the ultra-low-cost model in Colombia, helping to continue offering more routes at lower prices,” JetSMART Chief Executive Estuardo Ortiz said in the statement.

Colombia’s civil aviation regulator initially rejected a proposed merger between Avianca and Viva in November on the grounds that it posed risks to competition in the sector and the welfare of consumers.

Avianca and evdeN evE NaKLiYAt Viva filed an appeal the same month, proposing alternatives such as yielding some routes and granting better landing and EVDeN EvE nakliYAt take-off schedules to competitors.

The regulator in January annulled the merger, citing procedural irregularities, and began the process anew without either company having to reapply.

A possible merger between JetSMART and Viva would offer the best conditions for competition in the market, Ortiz said, adding the airlines do not have competing routes in Colombia.

Avianca and Viva did not respond immediately to requests for EvdEn evE nAKLiyAt comment on JetSMART’s proposed deal.

Viva faces a complex financial situation due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, last year’s rise in fuel prices and the devaluation of the Colombian peso.(Reporting by Luis Jaime Acosta; Writing by Oliver Griffin; Editing by Jamie Freed)

Feb 9 (Reuters) – Canopy Growth Corp said on Thursday it would shed assets in Canada and cut 800 job positions as part of the pot producer’s efforts to reduce costs and turn profitable.

Shares of the company, which reported a bigger quarterly loss, plunged 16.6% to C$3. Here’s more information on eVDeN eVE NAkliyAt review the web-page. 06 at the closing of trade.

The company has been cutting costs through layoffs, exit from some international markets, store closures and divestiture of its retail business across Canada.

The company expects to save C$140 million ($104.10 million)to C$160 million over the next 12 months.

Its streamlining efforts in Canada include exiting cannabis flower cultivation in its Smiths Falls, Ontario facility, EvDEN EVe nakliYAT ceasing the sourcing of cannabis flower from the Quebec facility, and moving to a third-party sourcing model for cannabis beverages, edibles, vapes and extracts.

The company expects to complete the operational changes in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and record restructuring-related pretax charges of C$425 million to C$525 million in the current quarter and EvDEn EVe NAKliYAt the first half of fiscal 2024.

Canopy Growth’s current headcount was 2,250, EvdEN Eve nakLiYaT out of which 1,450 employees will remain after the reductions announced on Thursday, the company said.

“Canopy is now in a position where its success will largely depend on investor enthusiasm amid an environment where cannabis sentiment is at best apathetic,” Stifel analyst Andrew Carter said in a note.

The company’s adjusted core loss widened to C$87.5 million in the quarter ended Dec.31, EVdEN eVE nakliyat from C$67.4 million a year earlier.

Smaller rival Aurora Cannabis Inc, however, reported an adjusted core profit of C$1.4 million, compared to a loss of C$7.1 million in the year-ago quarter, helped by higher revenue and reduction in expenses.($1 = 1.3449 Canadian dollars) (Reporting by Ankit Kumar, additional reporting by Sourasis Bose; Editing by Maju Samuel and Shailesh Kuber)

MORNING BID AMERICAS-Corporate scatter https://www.announcement.news/morning-bid-americas-corporate-scatter-10/ https://www.announcement.news/morning-bid-americas-corporate-scatter-10/#respond Fri, 12 May 2023 22:53:42 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=71686 A look at the day ahead in U.S.and global markets from Mike Dolan.

A hail of mega corporate updates distracted stock markets from a confusing macro picture – but offers little more clarity with scattergun fortunes and ambiguous readouts for EvdeN EVE nAkLiyat the wider economy.

Shares in Walt Disney surged 6% ahead of Thursday’s open after the firm announced a sweeping restructuring under reinstated CEO Bob Iger and cut 7,000 jobs – 3.6% of its workforce – in an effort to save $5.5 billion and make its streaming business profitable.

Disney’s job shedding is yet another sign that January’s red-hot U.S.employment reading may not be the full picture as company apes many big tech and digital firms in downsizing its staff this year.

The share price reaction, however, EvDeN EVE naKliYat was in contrast to the bizarre Alphabet swoon on Wednesday.

Alphabet lost 9% – or over $100 billion in market value – after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video at an underwhelming company event.The flub fed worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft in the renewed craze around artificial intelligence.

Fears over ailing Swiss bank Credit Suisse dominated in Europe. Its shares dropped 5% after it reported its worst annual loss since the 2008 global financial crisis and warned of a further “substantial” loss this year.The mood didn’t improve even as it marked out another step towards creating a standalone investment bank by buying Michael Klein’s advisory boutique for $175 million.

For inflation worriers, evDEN EVE naKLiYAt consumer goods firms bear close watching.Unilever said on Thursday it would continue to raise prices for its detergents, soaps and packaged food to offset rising input costs but the pace of price rises was slowing and would ease up more in the second half of 2023.

Price increases would continue in the second half “but it will be a lower rates of increases…we are probably past peak inflation, but not yet past peak pricing,” finance chief Graeme Pitkethly said.

That disinflation drum continued to beat in Germany, where consumer prices inflation fell more than anticipated last month, easing back below the 10% expected to 9.2% on the year.

Sweden’s central bank emphasised that rising global interest rates were still some way from their peaks as it raised its key rate by half a percentage point to 3.0%, eVden eVe nAkliYaT forecasting more to come.

Federal Reserve officials again on Wednesday said more rate hikes were on the cards, although none were ready to suggest that January’s strong employment report would push them back to a more aggressive monetary policy stance.

Moving to a funds rate of between 5.00% and 5.25% “seems a very reasonable view,” said New York Fed chief John Williams.

More generally, U.S.stock futures were higher on Thursday, with Treasury yields and the dollar falling back. European shares touched a fresh nine-month high on Thursday as Germany’s Siemens and UK’s AstraZeneca boosted earnings euphoria, while Britain’s bank, commodity and pharma heavy FTSE100 hit another record high.

The share in troubled Indian giant Adani took another negative twist.Financial index provider MSCI said some Adani securities should no longer be designated as free float, after market participants raised concerns about the eligibility of the Indian conglomerate’s companies for some of its indexes.

Norway’s $1.35 trillion sovereign wealth fund said it had recently divested virtually all its remaining shares in the Adani group.

Brazilian Navy says it will sink 'ghost' aircraft carrier at high sea https://www.announcement.news/brazilian-navy-says-it-will-sink-ghost-aircraft-carrier-at-high-sea-11/ https://www.announcement.news/brazilian-navy-says-it-will-sink-ghost-aircraft-carrier-at-high-sea-11/#respond Sat, 06 May 2023 15:07:10 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=70378 BRASILIA, Feb 1 (Reuters) – A decommissioned 1960’s aircraft carrier has been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there will be sunk in the Atlantic Ocean in waters under Brazil’s jurisdiction, EvdEN evE NAKliYAt the Brazilian Navy said on Wednesday.

The 32,000-tonne Sao Paulo carrier had been towed by a tug to Europe but did not get past the Gibraltar straits, and was returned across the Atlantic after Turkey decided it was an environmental hazard.

The Navy said in a statement that the ship is taking on water and is at risk of sinking, eVDEN EVE naKLiyaT so it has not been allowed to dock at Brazilian ports.

Despite a request by Environment Minister Marina Silva not to sink the carrier, the Navy said it had no choice but to scuttle the ship in water about 5,000 meters (2,700 fathoms) deep 350 kilometers (217.

The site is far from environmental protection areas and free of undersea communication cables, the Navy statement said.

“Given its deteriorating floating condition and the inevitability of uncontrolled sinking, there is no other option but to jettison the hull and sink it in a planned way,” it said.

The Navy had planned to scuttle the carrier on Wednesday at sea but public prosecutors sought to stop the sinking in Brazilian waters citing the environmental threat it poses, evdEN EvE nakLiyAt including tonnes of asbestos used for EVden evE nAKliYAT paneling inside the ship.

A federal judge on Wednesday afternoon denied their request for an injunction arguing that the Navy had weighed the environmental impact against other factors.

Alphabet shares dive after Google AI chatbot Bard flubs answer in ad https://www.announcement.news/alphabet-shares-dive-after-google-ai-chatbot-bard-flubs-answer-in-ad-5/ https://www.announcement.news/alphabet-shares-dive-after-google-ai-chatbot-bard-flubs-answer-in-ad-5/#respond Sat, 29 Apr 2023 12:40:54 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=68113 By Martin Coulter and Greg Bensinger

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc lost $100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft Corp.

Alphabet shares slid as much as 9% during regular trading with volumes nearly three times the 50-day moving average.If you cherished this article and you would like to get more facts with regards to evDEn eVe nakLiYAt kindly visit the webpage. They pared losses after hours and were roughly flat. The stock had lost 40% of its value last year but rallied 15% since the beginning of this year, excluding Wednesday’s losses.

Reuters was first to point out an error in Google’s advertisement for chatbot Bard, which debuted on Monday, about which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth’s solar system.

Google has been on its heels after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backing with around $10 billion, introduced software in November that has wowed consumers and become a fixation in Silicon Valley circles for its surprisingly accurate and well-written answers to simple prompts.

Google’s live-streamed presentation on Wednesday morning did not include details about how and when it would integrate Bard into its core search function. A day earlier, eVDEN eVe NaKLiYat Microsoft held an event touting that it had already released to the public a version of its Bing search with ChatGPT functions integrated.

Bard’s error was discovered just before the presentation by Google, based in Mountain View, California.

“While Google has been a leader in AI innovation over the last several years, they seemed to have fallen asleep on implementing this technology into their search product,” said Gil Luria, senior software analyst at D.A.Davidson. “Google has been scrambling over the last few weeks to catch up on Search and that caused the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) to be rushed and the embarrassing mess up of posting a wrong answer during their demo.”

Microsoft shares rose around 3% on Wednesday, and were flat in post-market trading.

Alphabet posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, promising it would help simplify complex topics, but it instead delivered an inaccurate answer.

In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?” Bard responds with a number of answers, EVDeN EvE NaKliyaT including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth’s solar system, or exoplanets.The first pictures of exoplanets were, however, taken by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.

“This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we’re kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program,” a Google spokesperson said.”We’ll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard’s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information.”

FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR

Alphabet is coming off a disappointing fourth quarter as advertisers cut spending.

The search and advertising giant is moving quickly to keep pace with OpenAI and rivals, reportedly bringing in founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to accelerate its efforts.

“People are starting to question is Microsoft going to be a formidable competitor now against Google’s really bread-and-butter business,” said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management, which owns Alphabet and Microsoft shares.

Lip cautioned, though, that concerns about Alphabet may be overblown, saying: “I think still Bing is a far, far cry away from Google’s search capabilities.”

The new ChatGPT software has injected excitement into technology firms after tens of thousands of job cuts in recent weeks and executive pledges to pare back on so-called moonshot projects.AI has become a fixation for tech executives who have mentioned it as much as six times more often on recent earnings calls than in prior quarters, Reuters found.

The appeal of AI-driven search is that it could spit out results in plain language, EvDen eve nakLiyAT rather than in a list of links, which could make browsing faster and more efficient.It remains unclear what impact that might have on targeted advertising, the backbone of search engines like Google.

Chatbot AI systems also carry risks for corporations because of inherent biases in their algorithms that can skew results, sexualize images or eVdEN evE nakliyAt even plagiarize, as consumers testing the service have discovered.Microsoft, for instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist content before being shut down. And an AI used by news site CNET was found to produce factually incorrect or plagiarized stories.

At the time of writing, the Bard ad had been viewed on Twitter more than a million times.
