Italy's Leonardo improves 2025 guidance on orders, cash, net debt
"First-half 2025 results confirm the Group's solid industrial momentum, with a further reduction in debt, validating the effectiveness of the actions undertaken," Chief Executive Roberto Cingolani said in a statement.
The state-controlled company said new orders at the end of the year would be between 22.25 billion euros and 22.75 billion euros ($25.53-26.11 billion), up from the previously estimated 21 billion euros.
Free cash flow will be between 920 million euro and 980 million euros by end-December, instead of an initially forecast 870 million euros, thanks to good operating performance and cash advances related to new orders, the company added.
The group's net debt is now expected at around 1.1 billion euros, down from a previous 1.6 billion euros, "thanks to the stronger cash generation and the postponement to 2026 of some M&A transactions," Leonardo said.
Full-year revenue and core profit guidance was confirmed.

Is Onana set to stay as number one?
Manchester United's overall summer outlay is a surprise given minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said in March the club could have "gone bust by Christmas" without the huge cuts implemented to slash costs. Club sources cite a number of reasons - including Marcus Rashford's £325,000-a-week salary being fully covered during his loan move to Barcelona, various sell-on clauses that have been activated this summer and the payment schedules agreed with Wolves and Brentford around Mathues Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo's arrivals - as the reason why they can still spend. United sources had said on Friday their attempts to sign Benjamin Sesko were continuing. However, subsequently, reports have emerged in the forward's native Slovenia stating the forward had chosen to join Newcastle. Neither club has commented officially on the latest reports. Yet, it is accepted even if Sesko did arrive in a move that would take the club's overall spend to about £200m, there will still be issues for Amorim to address, chief among them the goalkeeper. It now seems certain Andre Onana will remain as Amorim's first choice. The Cameroon international has been working hard on his fitness in the United States after hurting his hamstring on the second day of pre-season training. He is unlikely to be involved against Everton in Saturday's friendly but there is hope Onana could play some part in the final friendly against a Fiorentina side including former United keeper David de Gea at Old Trafford on 9 August. "We are always looking to improve the team and we have some characteristics we would like to have. But it depends on the market and depends on sales," said Amorim. "You can see the goalkeepers. Tom [Heaton] is leaner, Altay [Bayindir] did really well and [Andre] Onana is going to be better like the other guys that are getting better this year." Read more from Simon

PepsiCo Insiders Sold US$19m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
Over the past year, many PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag. While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. PepsiCo Insider Transactions Over The Last Year The Chairman & CEO, Ramon Laguarta, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$7.7m worth of shares at a price of US$155 each. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$139). So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels. In the last year PepsiCo insiders didn't buy any company stock. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! View our latest analysis for PepsiCo If you are like me, then you will not want to miss this free list of small cap stocks that are not only being bought by insiders but also have attractive valuations. Insider Ownership Of PepsiCo Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. PepsiCo insiders own about US$320m worth of shares (which is 0.2% of the company). Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders. So What Does This Data Suggest About PepsiCo Insiders? There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. While we feel good about high insider ownership of PepsiCo, we can't say the same about the selling of shares. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for PepsiCo you should be aware of, and 1 of them is concerning. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.
