Mistral in talks with VC firms, MGX to raise funds at $10 billion valuation, FT reports
(Reuters) -French artificial intelligence startup Mistral is in talks with investors, venture capital firms and Abu Dhabi's MGX to raise $1 billion at a valuation of $10 billion, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The company launched in June Europe's first AI reasoning model, which uses logical thinking to create a response, as it tries to keep pace with American and Chinese rivals at the forefront of AI development. The funding would accelerate the commercial rollout of Mistral's Le Chat chatbot and support continued development of its large language models, the report said. MGX and Mistral did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The startup raised 600 million euros in a Series B funding round that valued the company at 5.8 billion euros last year. Industry observers consider Mistral as Europe's best-positioned AI company to rival Silicon Valley leaders, though the French firm has yet to achieve comparable market traction or revenue scale. Mistral counts Nvidia, Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners among its investors.

Puma taps Adidas CIO for COO role, streamlines responsibilities
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Former Adidas CIO Andreas Hubert will become Puma's COO effective Sept. 1, the fashion brand said Thursday. Hubert will join the management board and lead the company's newly united global sourcing operations, including IT, sustainability and logistics. 'With his extensive background in IT, sourcing, and supply chain management, he brings the perfect combination of strategic insight and operational excellence,' Puma CEO Arthur Hoeld said in the announcement. 'His deep industry experience and expertise will be instrumental in optimizing Puma's global operations, driving digital transformation, and strengthening the resilience of our supply chain as we enter our next phase of growth.' Hubert wrapped up his four-year stint as group CIO at Adidas in June after holding several leadership positions across his 20-year career at the fashion brand. The executive has also held board seats at two companies and was a consultant at Boston Consulting Group, according to Hubert's LinkedIn. Dive Insight: CIOs, now known for their business savvy, are key enablers for enterprises as IT innovations drive growth and unlock efficiencies. Puma's choice to tap a former CIO for its COO role reflects tech's elevated C-suite role. The appointment comes as Puma tries to position itself for sustainable, long-term growth. In March, the company unveiled its evolved brand identity as part of its largest global marketing campaign to date. Puma welcomed a new CEO and president of North America the following month. The company's strategic revamp also coincides with ongoing market volatility. Puma was one of more than 80 brands that cosigned a letter to President Donald Trump urging the White House to consider tariff exemptions for footwear, Retail Dive reported in May. In its latest earnings report Thursday, Puma said sectorwide and company-specific challenges are contributing to muted brand momentum and a lowered outlook for 2025. The company paired back capital expenditure plans in response.

ING Groep NV (ING) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Customer Growth and Sustainability ...
Release Date: July 31, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points ING Groep NV (NYSE:ING) reported strong growth in its mobile primary customer base, adding over 300,000 customers in Q2 2025, contributing to a total of 1.1 million new customers in the past year. The company achieved significant growth in its loan book, with net core lending in retail banking increasing by 11.3 billion, primarily driven by mortgages. Fee income increased by 11% in the first half of 2024, now comprising almost 20% of total income, with a target of 5 billion in fee income by 2027. ING Groep NV (NYSE:ING) continues to support clients in their sustainability transitions, with sustainable finance volumes rising 19% to 68 billion. The company has consistently delivered a yield of more than 15% in recent quarters, supported by cash dividends and share buybacks, totaling close to 30 billion since 2021. Negative Points Demand for long-term corporate loans remains subdued due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. The appreciation of the EUR had a negative impact of 37 million on commercial NII, affecting overall revenue. The liability margin was pressured by the low ECB deposit rate and the impact of a promotional campaign in Germany. Expenses rose by 4.5% year-on-year, driven by wage inflation and investments in business growth, despite efforts to offset costs through operational efficiencies. The company's CET1 ratio decreased due to ongoing share buybacks, partially offset by quarterly net profit. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with ING. Q: Could you provide more details on the revenue and cost mix to better estimate the impact of FX volatility, especially given the EUR/USD fluctuations? Also, do you see any changes in corporate loan demand, particularly in Germany? A: We will consider disclosing more on FX sensitivity if volatility continues. An 8% reduction in the USD against the EUR in Q2 impacted NII by $37 million and total revenue by $60-$70 million. Regarding corporate loans, growth was mainly in short-term financing. It's too early to predict changes in long-term corporate loan demand, though a trade deal might help. Q: Can you elaborate on the underlying trends in commercial NII, excluding FX impacts? Also, could you discuss the potential move of ING's head office to Germany for capital efficiency? A: Excluding FX, commercial NII trends are positive with higher volumes in lending and deposits. The idea of moving the head office to Germany was a stylistic example to highlight regulatory disparities in Europe. We need harmonized regulations to ensure competitiveness and strong banks in each country. Q: Could you update us on your deposit gathering campaigns and M&A strategy? Are you focusing more on deposit growth or fee income? A: We had a significant deposit campaign in Germany in Q1, which ended in Q2. We expect some outflow in Q3, but historically, about 2/3 of the deposits remain. Our strategy is to diversify by targeting specific customer segments and expanding services in existing markets, which supports both deposit growth and fee income. Q: What are the expectations for commercial NII in Q4, and how does it relate to savings rate cuts and competition? A: The Q4 improvement in commercial NII is driven by volume growth and less FX impact. We manage margins around 100 basis points on liabilities, aiming for 100-110 in 2026. Our strategy balances competitive rates with volume growth. Q: Can you discuss the fee income growth and the factors contributing to it? Is there potential to exceed the 5-10% growth guidance? A: We are confident in achieving the higher end of our 5-10% fee income growth range due to strong mobile primary customer growth and increased trading and insurance product uptake. Our diversified service offerings and customer base expansion support this growth. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
