Capital One’s $5.15B Brex buy hits as COF Q4 earnings miss sends shares lower after hours

Capital One’s $5.15B Brex buy hits as COF Q4 earnings miss sends shares lower after hours

Capital One Financial will buy fintech Brex for $5.15 billion, paying about $2.75 billion in cash and issuing about 10.6 million shares, a regulatory filing showed on Thursday. The move matters now because Capital One has been building out payments and commercial reach since it closed its $35.3 billion acquisition of Discover Financial Services in May 2025. That deal gave Capital One control of Discover’s card network, putting it more directly up against Visa and Mastercard and competing for card balances with banks such as JPMorgan.

JPMorgan responded by stating it “believe[s] the suit has no merit.”

Autodesk layoffs: AutoCAD maker to cut 1,000 jobs as it shifts spending to AI and cloud

Autodesk layoffs: AutoCAD maker to cut 1,000 jobs as it shifts spending to AI and cloud

Autodesk announced Thursday it plans to slash roughly 7% of its global workforce—around 1,000 positions—as the San Francisco-based design software company shifts investment toward artificial intelligence and its cloud platform. The bulk of the job cuts will hit customer-facing sales teams, marking the end of a multi-year sales and marketing revamp. Autodesk disclosed pre-tax restructuring charges ranging from $135 million to $160 million in a recent regulatory filing, with $90 million to $110 million hitting the current quarter ending Jan. 31. The company also raised its guidance, forecasting billings—the total value of invoices and contracts—revenue, non-GAAP profits, and free cash flow to exceed the upper limits of its previous estimates. Some of the savings are set to be reinvested through the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2027. Autodesk aims to wrap up the plan by the end of its fiscal 2027 fourth quarter but cautioned that results might fall short of expectations.

  • UBS Cuts Man Group to Neutral After Shares Run Up, Despite Lifting Earnings Targets
    July 8, 2026, 8:09 AM EDT. UBS cut its rating on Man Group PLC (LSE:EMG) to 'neutral' from 'buy', even as it raised its 2026 earnings estimate by 5% and moved the price target up to 320p from 290p. UBS pointed to the recent rally that has pushed Man Group's valuation to around 9.8 times forward earnings, right at the eight-year average. The bank's analysts still see good earnings potential, bumping their performance fee and EPS forecasts for 2027 and 2028 by 15-25%. But after recent gains, UBS said a lot of good news looks priced in, leaving the risk-reward for the FTSE 250 asset manager more balanced before first-half results.
