New World Development shares jump after $11.2 billion refinancing package
The refinancing package, poised to be one of the largest ever in Hong Kong, concludes months of negotiations over a debt package designed to bring the company back from the brink of default.
New World, which carries one of the highest debt ratios among its peers, said in a filing on Monday that it had refinanced portions of its existing offshore unsecured debt, including bank loans, through a new facility and had also aligned the terms of its remaining loan agreements.
The new facility consists of multiple tranches of bank loans with different maturities, the earliest being June 30, 2028.

Tesla deliveries plummet 14% in second quarter
Elon Musk's Tesla has reported a 14% decline in vehicle deliveries in the second quarter of the year, as the electric car-maker's problems show no sign of just over 384,000 vehicles it delivered between April and June represents the second quarterly drop in a faces increasing competition from rivals, including China's BYD. Musk's controversial role as government efficiency czar in the Trump administration has also been blamed for the plummeting delivery has since left the administration - but has publicly sparred with US President Donald Trump over a massive spending bill pushed by the White House. In response, Trump floated cutting the subsidies received by Musk's firms or even deporting suggested that the ad-hoc Department of Government Efficiency - known as Doge - could be used to harm the billionaire's companies."Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far," Trump wrote on social media Tuesday. "Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!""I am literally saying CUT IT ALL. Now," Musk has suggested that Musk's opposition to the spending bill stems from a provision that removes incentives to buy electric vehicles."He's upset that he's losing his EV mandate, he's very upset, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you that," Trump told reporters on the quarterly deliveries metric is tracked closely investors, some analysts have shrugged off the figures."The good news: that ~14% should mark the bottom," wrote Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster on Musk's social media site X. "I have September down 10% and December flat."Munster said he expected uncertainty about the US EV tax credit to boost near-term sales as buyers scramble to purchase before it expires. Tesla's push into robotaxis which kicked off in Austin, Texas last month in uncertain fashion could prove critical, he said."Over the next two years, I think investors will be fine with flat deliveries as long as autonomy shows measurable progress," Munster added.

SSP shares soar as Caffe Ritazza owner preps £1.2bn IPO for Indian JV
SSP Group shares jumped on Wednesday after the food retailer revealed a roughly £1.2billion valuation for its Indian joint venture business ahead of an IPO. The Upper Crust and Caffe Ritazza owner said the initial public offering of Travel Food Services (TFS) has a price band of 1,045 to 1,100 Indian Rupees per share. This implies a market valuation of between 137.6 billion and 144.8 billion Indian Rupees, or about £1.17billion to £1.23billion at current exchange rates. SSP initially hoped the listing would occur during the spring, following the filing of a draft red herring prospectus with the Indian regulatory authorities in December. It intends to purchase 1 per cent of TFS's issued share capital for around £12.5million, which will take its overall stake in the business to above 50 per cent. Shares in the London-listed firm soared 8.5 per cent to 188.5p by mid-Wednesday afternoon, making them the FTSE 250 Index's biggest riser. Headquartered in Mumbai, TFS operates dozens of lounges and hundreds of quick-service restaurants across 14 airports in India and three in Malaysia. In addition to in-house brands like and Dilli Streat, the group runs franchise outlets of famous global food-to-go companies, including KFC, Domino's Pizza, and Jamie Oliver's Pizzeria. It is co-owned by SSP and K Hospitality, an Indian food service business with over 500 locations, whose shareholding entity is the Kapur Family Trust. Trading in TFS shares is set to begin on the Indian stock exchanges on 14 July. Once the IPO is completed, SSP's deputy chief executive, Jonathan Davies, and Asia-Pacific boss, Jonathan Robinson, will join TFS's board. SSP's announcement comes as the company embarks on a cost-cutting programme to improve margins and returns amidst more challenging economic conditions. 'Recent geopolitical events have led to a heightened level of uncertainty across some of our travel markets, in particular in North America,' the firm told investors in May on the release of its half-year results. For the six months ending March, the group's turnover increased by 9 per cent to £1.6billion, supported by the acquisition of the Midfield Concessions business in Denver. In the UK and Ireland, SSP's revenue rose by 15.4 per cent to £892.5million thanks to continued growth in rail commuter numbers and strong demand in the air channel. Its operating profits also climbed by 20 per cent to £45million, although on a statutory basis, they slumped by around three-quarters to £15million due to costs from an IT transformation project and the recognition of impairment charges.
