Corning avoids EU antitrust fine by ending exclusive deals with phone manufacturers
Corning, the US-based glass manufacturer behind Gorilla Glass, has vowed to end its exclusive deals and other practices that the European Commission deemed to be anti-competitive in order to avoid getting fined. If you'll recall, the commission announced that it was investigating Corning last year, accusing it of squashing competition with its exclusive supply agreements, thereby driving up prices and stifling innovation. Now, the commission has accepted the commitments Corning offered and made them legally binding under the EU's rules. When the commission announced its investigation, it said Corning required mobile phone manufacturers to source all or nearly all of their Alkali-AS glass (marketed as Gorilla Glass) needs from the company, even ganting them rebates. Under its agreement with the commission, Corning has to "waive all exclusive dealing clauses in all its current agreements" with phone manufacturers and companies that process raw glass. Corning also won't be allowed to enter exclusive deals in the future. In addition, Corning can't require manufacturers or any of their suppliers to purchase any quantity of Alkali-AS Glass from it in the European Economic Area. Worldwide, Corning can't require manufacturers and their suppliers to purchase more than 50 percent of their needs from the company. Corning's commitment will remain in force for nine years, and a trustee will monitor the company's movements to ensure its compliance. As Reuters has noted, EU fines could cost companies as much as 10 percent of their revenue, but Corning didn't have to pay anything. "The European Commission's investigation has been settled with no fine, no finding of wrongdoing by Corning, and no material impact to the company's Gorilla Glass business or the company at large," the Gorilla Glass-maker told Bloomberg in a statement.

Lucid Stock (LCID): Morgan Stanley Sees ‘Strategic Opportunities' in Uber Deal Ahead of Q2 Results
Luxury electric vehicle (EV) maker Lucid Group (LCID) will report its Q2 results on August 6. The stock gained over 36% on Thursday after the company announced a new partnership with Uber (UBER) and autonomous tech startup Nuro. The three companies plan to deploy 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs, equipped with Nuro's self-driving technology, on Uber's network over the next six years. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Following the news, Top Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas reiterated a Hold rating on Lucid with a $3.00 price target. Four-star analyst Adam Jonas believes the Uber-Nuro deal shows that Lucid is expanding its focus beyond EVs and starting to pursue 'AI-enabled autonomy' through strategic partnerships. Analyst Sees Long-Term Value in the Uber Deal Jonas highlighted Lucid's upcoming Gravity SUV as a key part of the company's next growth phase. He believes the deal shows Lucid's potential to play a bigger role in the AI and self-driving space. As part of the deal, Uber will invest $300 million in Lucid. While the amount is relatively small compared to Lucid's ongoing cash needs, Jonas believes it could provide short-term support as Lucid works to ramp up Gravity production. Although Morgan Stanley remains cautious on the stock, the firm views the deal as an important step that could lead to more partnerships in AI, EV technology, and global markets, helping Lucid strengthen its position in the fast-growing autonomous driving space. What's Ahead for Lucid Stock? Looking ahead into the Q2 earnings season, Wall Street forecasts a Q2 2025 loss of $0.22 per share, an improvement from the $0.34 per share loss in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, revenues are expected to rise by 41% from the same quarter last year, reaching $283.2 million, according to data from the TipRanks Forecast page. Investors will be watching closely for updates on Gravity production, spending levels, and any early signs of revenue growth tied to these new partnerships. Is LCID Stock a Buy? The stock of Lucid Group has a consensus Hold rating among ten Wall Street analysts. That rating is currently based on one Buy, eight Hold, and one Sell recommendations issued in the past three months. The average LCID price target of $2.70 implies 13.46% downside from current levels.

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI brings on former Sen. Laphonza Butler
SAN FRANCISCO — Former Sen. Laphonza Butler is now advising OpenAI, her first known client since the California Democrat left Congress and landed at the global public affairs firm Actum, people familiar with the contract told POLITICO and the ChatGPT-maker confirmed. Tapped by Gov. Gavin Newsom to fill the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat, Butler served just over a year in the Senate to complete the term before returning to her roots as a behind-the-scenes power broker and becoming a partner at Actum. The California Democrat is barred from lobbying for a year as a former member of Congress. It's not clear what issues Butler will be providing guidance on for the AI developer. OpenAI is facing an inflection point in its plans for future growth, hoping contentious changes to a more conventional corporate structure will help the company raise money to keep ahead of cash-slinging competitors. Those plans have run up against fierce resistance from former co-founder Elon Musk and civic leaders, particularly in California, home to the company headquarters and where Butler touts powerful connections with the labor world. Three people familiar with Butler's new gig, granted anonymity to disclose private personnel moves, confirmed it to POLITICO. An OpenAI spokesperson separately told POLITICO Butler is an adviser. The former senator did not respond to a request for comment. Prior to joining Congress in 2023, Butler was a longtime labor leader with the Service Employees International Union and a campaign adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris. She came to the Senate from the top post at EMILY's List, which seeks to elect female candidates who support abortion rights. OpenAI is not her first industry rodeo. She previously worked in private sector consulting for companies like Uber through the firm rebranded as Bearstar Strategies and later made at least $1 million from Airbnb stock as the short-term rental platform's director for public policy. Butler went into political consulting in 2018 as preparation for Harris' not-yet-unannounced first presidential run. Harris aides and allies told POLITICO earlier this year that she is seriously considering a run for governor in California and gave herself until the end of the summer to decide whether to enter the crowded field. Butler said in a January interview that she would provide Actum clients with strategic consulting services, indicating a special interest in 'the intersection of work and workers with technology and how we can build a society that works for everyone.' She intended to split her time at the firm between Los Angeles and D.C. During her Senate stint, Butler ventured into introducing some bills on artificial intelligence. One directed federal agencies to use the technology to better predict and respond to extreme weather. Another proposed $250 millionin government funding to educate students and upskill marginalized communities for jobs in an AI future. Neither passed that session. The nexus of AI and race has been of particular interest to Butler. It repeatedly featured as a theme in her questions during congressional hearings. She said in late 2023 that the technology is 'already widening preexisting inequities,' but then hosted a panel last fall about how AI can empower Black communities. There, she also reflected on AI's potential to displace workers, telling attendees that 'fewer people are going to be required across broader industries, particularly those in … traditionally white-collar positions.' On a separate but just as thorny issue, Butler celebrated Newsom signing legislation in Sacramento last year, backed by the powerful Hollywood actors' guild SAG-AFTRA and meant to protect performers' digital likeness in the age of AI deepfakes. Still, she has returned to a more bullish view at times, including in one October interview where the then-senator said she wanted to protect Americans without stifling the opportunities that AI could bring. She argued lawmakers don't need to make 'false choices' between the interests of AI executives and workers. She's praised Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and the Biden administration for creating spaces to gather feedback on AI from labor, civil society and community leaders. OpenAI has been stepping up its engagement with those segments in the last few months as it attempts to shift toward a more conventional business structure and curb groups' concerns. In the past year, OpenAI hired at least one other Harris ally. The AI company's global affairs team is staffed by Debbie Mesloh, Harris' old campaign consultant and friend, and Marisa Moret, whose time as chief of staff for the San Francisco city attorney coincided with Harris' as the district attorney. Butler, Moret and Chris Lehane, the Democratic strategist turned OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, all overlapped at Airbnb.
