Denso, a Toyota Supplier, Misses View with a 41% Drop in Q1 Profit

Denso Corp, a major supplier to Toyota Motor Corp, cut its operating profit forecast for the current fiscal year by 14 % as it expects the automaker t

Denso Corp, a major supplier to Toyota Motor Corp, cut its operating profit forecast for the current fiscal year by 14 % as it expects the automaker to fall behind production plans. The company reported a 41% slump in firstquarter profit, hurt by automakers production cuts and high costs of commodities and logistics. A twoyear chip shortage and supply disruptions partially caused by Chinas COVID19 curbs have forced car makers to repeatedly cut production. However, the recent glut of chips resulting from weak demand in other markets, such as consumer electronics, could eventually ease the way for automakers. The companys shares fell 2.78%, compared with a 0.46% gain for Japans benchmark Nikkei share average. Read More..

Samsung was penalized $9.8 million for false phone ads in Australia

An Australian judge has ordered Samsung to be fined AUD 14 million $9.8 million for falsely advertising the water resistance of some smartphone models

An Australian judge has ordered Samsung to be fined AUD 14 million $9.8 million for falsely advertising the water resistance of some smartphone models.

The judge denied that Samsungs lawyers initially denied that the ad was misleading and that the phone could be submerged. Read More..
