Following this phase, the Company will proceed with comprehensive vehicle engineering of the vehicle, which includes extensive safety testing and validation. These efforts are integral to ensuring that the FX Super One meets the highest standards of quality, performance, safety, and the end user experience.

Small-Caps Stay Higher, Other Indexes Dwindle
Market indexes started the trading day in the green, but had shown signs of choppiness early on. President Trump mentioned adding new tariffs on semiconductor imports, which helped move markets lower across the board. Only the small-cap Russell 2000 was able to recover, and closed up +0.59%. The Dow crept lower by -0.14%, the S&P 500 -0.49% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was understandably lower, -0.65% for the session. ISM Services Remain Above 50 — Barely A mixed day for monthly services PMI posted after the markets opened this morning: S&P final Services PM I for July gained nearly 3 full points to 55.7 from an unrevised 52.9 the prior month. ISM Services, also out for the month of July this morning, made it to 50.1% — a full percentage point below expectations, and down from the previous month's unrevised 50.8%. Services make up roughly 70% of the U.S. economy, thus growth rests heavily on their shoulders. S&P and ISM Manufacturing reports out last week showed both still below that 50-level, so coming precariously close to that range on ISM Services is seen somewhat as a sign of weakness. Big Afternoon for Q2 Earnings: AMD, SNAP, AMGN & More Advanced Micro Devices AMD posted beats on both top and bottom lines in its Q2 report after today's close. Earnings of 48 cents per share beat the Zacks consensus by a penny (though down significantly from 69 cents per share in the year-ago quarter) on $7.7 billion in revenues, which outpaced the $7.4 billion estimate and represents +32% growth year over year. Revenue guidance was brought up to $8.7 billion from $8.1 billion previously projected by analysts. CEO Lisa Su considers the GPU chipmaker well-positioned for growth in the second half of the year, and we see the better-than-expected results from Q2 in Data Center and Client revenues. Gross Margins were +43% in the quarter, but expected to balloon up to +54% in Q3. Snapchat parent Snap SNAP posted a much weaker-than-expected bottom line result this afternoon: -$0.16 per share versus expectations for +$0.01 in the Zacks consensus, but we presume these are not comparable figures. Revenues came in-line with estimates at $1.34 billion. Shares are down -15% on the news, but SNAP has a history of volatility following an earnings release. Biotech giant Amgen AMGN posted robust beats on both top and bottom lines, with earnings of $6.02 per share on $9.18 billion in revenues well ahead of the projected $5.26 per share and $8.87 billion, respectively. Full-year guidance was in-line on earnings and a tick higher on sales. Shares are giving back -1% from the +15% gains year to date. Analog RF chipmaker Skyworks Solutions SWKS shares are up +9% in late trading on solid beats on both earnings and sales, with $1.33 per share coming in ahead of the $1.24 Zacks consensus on $965 million in revenues, beyond the estimated $939.5 million. Expectations for the present quarter are for $1 billion - $1.3 billion in revenues, and the company raised its dividend yield by +1%, for good measure. SuperMicro SMCI, one of the biggest success stories on Wall Street back in early 2024, missed estimates by 3 cents per share to 41 cents, and came up -3% short on the top line to $5.76 billion. Guidance for next quarter is also down for both top and bottom lines, and shares are falling -14% in after-market trading. Only $1 to See All Zacks' Buys and Sells We're not kidding.

EU still expects turbulence in trade relations with U.S.
President Donald Trump shakes hands with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as they meet at the Trump Turnberry golf course in Turnberry, Scotland Sunday, July 27, 2025. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) BRUSSELS — The European Union still expects turbulence in trade relations with Washington, but it believes it has a good insurance policy thanks to a framework deal that covers most goods it exports to the U.S. by a maximum 15 per cent tariff, an EU official said. With the new rates set to enter into force in a couple of days, the 27-nation bloc, which is the U.S.'s biggest trading partner, is still waiting for executive orders that would bring down the tariff on some products, including cars and car parts, down to the agreed 15 per cent rate. A senior EU official said he expected that to happen 'very soon.' 'We do expect further turbulence, but we have a clear insurance policy - the 15 per cent tariff across the board. If the U.S. administration does not stick to that, we have the means to react to that,' the official told reporters. 'The situation requires management, we have not solved everything in one go, but we have a solid foundation, we have changed fundamentally the approach with the U.S. Others are in a far worse position,' the official said. The EU-U.S. agreement leaves many questions open, including tariff rates on wine and spirits. Talks on a joint statement with the U.S. that will spell out more details are very advanced, with the text broadly ready and the EU waiting for a response from Washington to finalize things, the official said. He declined to give a timeline for its release. The 15 per cent tariff that European Union goods face when entering the United States is all-inclusive, unlike the deals some other countries have struck with Washington, the EU official said. For instance, while cheese exported to the U.S. from the EU will face a 15 per cent tariff, UK cheese, once all tariffs are included, will face a tariff of more than 24 per cent, he said. 'Best available' 'What we have obtained in our deal is the best available treatment,' the EU official told reporters, while adding that the 27-nation bloc was not celebrating the 15 per cent rate, but that it considered it was a very good deal compared to others. Tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are currently zero, but if they rise as a result of a U.S. probe into imports of those products, they will not exceed the 15 per cent ceiling. Discussions on steel are taking longer due to the need to address volume-related issues, he said. The EU is also working to finalize a list of essential products that will be exempt from U.S. tariffs, a process the official said will take some time. The EU is trying to get as many products as possible into the list of tariffs exemption, at a zero-for-zero rate. The head of France's wine and spirits exporters federation said he was still hoping for a U.S. tariffs exemption on those products. 'We are 48 hours away from a decision, and we have not lost hope that wines and spirits can be exempted,' Gabriel Picard, head of the FEVS wines and spirits exporters federation, told France Inter radio on Tuesday. Investor sentiment in the euro zone unexpectedly tumbled in August in one of the first indications that the business community is unimpressed with the EU's trade deal, a survey showed on Monday. Meanwhile, German engineering orders fell five per cent in June compared with a year earlier, with dips in both domestic and foreign demand reflecting uncertainty caused by the trade tensions, engineering association VDMA said. France and Germany are among EU countries that have said the bloc had been too weak during trade negotiations with the United States and it should become stronger. --- Reporting by Jan Strupczewski, Julia Payne, Sudip Kar-Gupta; Writing by Ingrid Melander; Editing by Alison Williams
