UL Solutions to Help Companies in Japan Meet New Climate Disclosure Standards in Collaboration with Fujitsu
NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UL Solutions (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, is now collaborating with Fujitsu, a leading Japanese multinational company that provides IT services, solutions and technology, to assist Japanese companies in navigating and adhering to Japan's newly developed climate reporting standards. This alliance combines UL Solutions' ULTRUS software portfolio, a unified digital platform designed to streamline regulatory, supply chain and sustainability management, with Fujitsu's deep local market expertise and established client network. Specifically, Fujitsu will leverage UL Solutions' UL 360 environmental, social and governance (ESG) data management software, an offering in the ULTRUS platform, to help its customers meet the evolving sustainability disclosure standards. These new standards, developed by the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ), are aligned with the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation's International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). 'For long-term business success for companies in Japan, strong ESG reporting is no longer a side issue but a core need for companies,' said Hidehiko Yamajo, regional vice president, Japan, UL Solutions. 'Our new partnership with Fujitsu is a strategic move to help companies navigate these complex ESG reporting demands and complement our existing ESG data management software. These tools simplify these challenges, allowing businesses to manage their data easily, meet new reporting requirements and ultimately create real business value.' The SSBJ's new standards, promoting companies to report sustainability and climate-related information, are now available for voluntary application and proposed for mandatory application in 2027, mirroring the global trend towards increased ESG reporting accountability. These standards build upon previous initiatives, including requirements by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Japan's Financial Services Agency, a government agency and an integrated financial regulator responsible for overseeing the banking, securities and exchange, and insurance sectors to ensure the stability of Japan's financial system, which have progressively strengthened sustainability disclosure expectations for Japanese listed companies. 'Fujitsu is thrilled to join with UL Solutions for ESG and sustainability reporting in Japan,' said Hidenori Ito, senior vice president, head of Cross-Industry Solutions Business Unit of Fujitsu. 'Fujitsu is consolidating all internal and external data, strengthening disclosure and regulatory compliance, and promoting rapid management decision-making through financial and non-financial analysis to realize ESG management. As part of FujitsuUvance, a business model based on social issues, we will integrate Fujitsu's technologies, such as AI and blockchain technology, based on our knowledge and know-how cultivated through collaboration with UL Solutions and our own practices. We will support the realization of data-driven sustainability management and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by maximizing corporate value.' In addition to its software solutions, UL Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of enterprise sustainability services, including environmental product declarations and zero-waste-to-landfill claim validations. The ULTRUS software platform, which includes Sustainable Supply Chain & environmental, health, and safety (EHS) services, was recognized as a leader by Verdantix in their Green Quadrant: ESG and Sustainability Reporting Software 2023 and 2025 reports and Green Quadrant: EHS Software 2025 report, as a unified platform, highlighting its effectiveness in helping companies navigate complex ESG reporting regulations and global compliance challenges.

Why Designer Brands (DBI) Stock Is Up Today
What Happened? Shares of footwear and accessories discount retailer Designer Brands (NYSE:DBI) jumped 3.9% in the morning session after a stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales report for June boosted investor confidence. The Commerce Department reported that retail sales increased by 0.6% last month, significantly beating economists' forecasts. This news suggests that consumer spending, a crucial pillar of the U.S. economy, remains resilient despite broader economic concerns. For a retailer like Designer Brands, the details of the report were particularly encouraging. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $2.85, up 1.4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Designer Brands? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Designer Brands's shares are extremely volatile and have had 61 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 10 months ago when the stock dropped 27.7% on the news that the company reported weak second-quarter earnings. Same-store sales missed, leading to a revenue and EPS miss. In addition, its full-year same-store sales and earnings forecasts were lowered and missed analysts' expectations. Management struck a cautious tone, saying, "We saw sustained pressure on challenged categories such as dress and seasonal in the second quarter...". Overall, this quarter could have been better. Designer Brands is down 46.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.85 per share, it is trading 65.1% below its 52-week high of $8.16 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Designer Brands's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $459.68. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

Western Alliance Bancorporation's (NYSE:WAL) Q2 Sales Top Estimates
Regional banking company Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:WAL) reported revenue ahead of Wall Street's expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 9.7% year on year to $845.9 million. Its GAAP profit of $2.07 per share was 2.1% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Western Alliance Bancorporation? Find out in our full research report. Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Net Interest Income: $697.6 million vs analyst estimates of $690.4 million (6.2% year-on-year growth, 1% beat) Net Interest Margin: 3.5% vs analyst estimates of 3.5% (10 basis point year-on-year decrease, in line) Revenue: $845.9 million vs analyst estimates of $830.1 million (9.7% year-on-year growth, 1.9% beat) Efficiency Ratio: 60.1% vs analyst estimates of 60.2% (in line) EPS (GAAP): $2.07 vs analyst estimates of $2.03 (2.1% beat) Market Capitalization: $9.00 billion 'Western Alliance delivered strong second quarter results featuring robust net interest income growth, continued loan and deposit momentum, and healthy earnings generated by improving profitability,' said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer. Company Overview Operating through five distinct regional banking divisions across the western United States, Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:WAL) provides commercial banking, treasury management, mortgage services, and specialized financial solutions through its banking divisions and subsidiaries. Sales Growth In general, banks make money from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest earned on loans, mortgages, and investments in securities minus interest paid out on deposits. The second source is non-interest income, which can come from bank account, credit card, wealth management, investing banking, and trading fees. Over the last five years, Western Alliance Bancorporation grew its revenue at an incredible 22.6% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average bank company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Western Alliance Bancorporation's annualized revenue growth of 12.2% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business. This quarter, Western Alliance Bancorporation reported year-on-year revenue growth of 9.7%, and its $845.9 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 1.9%. Net interest income made up 85.7% of the company's total revenue during the last five years, meaning Western Alliance Bancorporation barely relies on non-interest income to drive its overall growth. While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next. Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS) Banks operate as balance sheet businesses, with profits generated through borrowing and lending activities. Valuations reflect this reality, emphasizing balance sheet strength and long-term book value compounding ability. Because of this, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) emerges as the critical performance benchmark. By excluding intangible assets with uncertain liquidation values, this metric captures real, liquid net worth per share. On the other hand, EPS is often distorted by mergers and flexible loan loss accounting. TBVPS provides clearer performance insights. Western Alliance Bancorporation's TBVPS grew at an incredible 14.7% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has recently decelerated a bit to 13.4% annual growth over the last two years (from $43.42 to $55.87 per share). Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Western Alliance Bancorporation's TBVPS to grow by 14.8% to $64.12, top-notch growth rate. Key Takeaways from Western Alliance Bancorporation's Q2 Results It was encouraging to see Western Alliance Bancorporation beat analysts' revenue, net interest income, and EPS expectations this quarter. Zooming out, we think this was a decent quarter. The stock traded up 1.1% to $85.50 immediately following the results. So do we think Western Alliance Bancorporation is an attractive buy at the current price? What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock.
