Shell Commences $3.5B Share Buyback Programme Targeting Completion Before Q3 2025 Results Announcement

A new paper from Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) outlines which jobs are most likely to be disrupted by generative AI and which ones are least affected.
What Happened: Last week, Microsoft released a study titled &#8220;Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI.&#8221; The paper identified 40 occupations with high AI applicability—meaning AI can perform a large portion of their tasks—and 40 with low applicability, where AI has minimal impact.
Here is the list of 10 jobs most at risk from AI, and 10 considered most secure:

Other jobs that are at risk include telemarketers, political scientists, technical writers, news analysts, market research analysts, proofreaders, data scientists, advertising sales agents, management analysts, geographers, library science teachers, and new accounts clerks. Even creative and analytical roles like editors, demonstrators, and postsecondary economics teachers are flagged.
Conversely, jobs involving physical work, manual dexterity, and real-world presence are less exposed. Other low-risk jobs include cement masons, dishwashers, surgical assistants, gas pump operators, pile driver operators, ophthalmic medical technicians, dredge operators, roustabouts, orderlies, bridge and lock tenders, and logging equipment operators.
The report was authored by Kiran Tomlinson, a senior researcher at Microsoft; Sonia Jaffe, a principal researcher at Microsoft; Will Wang, a pre-doctoral research assistant; Scott Counts, a senior principal research manager; and Siddharth Suri, a senior principal researcher at Microsoft.

Why It Matters: The study&#8217;s findings align with the warnings of economist Craig Shapiro, who in June 2025 cautioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">AI-driven job displacement</a> is creating a structural labor crisis that traditional monetary tools cannot address. With up to 25% of U.S. jobs potentially at risk by 2030, Shapiro called for fiscal and regulatory responses.
However, not everyone shares this pessimistic view.&nbsp;Shyam Sankar, the Chief Technology Officer of&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), argued that AI is unlocking new levels of creativity and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46593814/palantirs-shyam-shankar-says-ai-wont-kill-jobs-itll-give-blue-collar-workers-superpowers-and-make-them-50x-more-productive">productivity for America&#8217;s workforce</a>, not replacing it.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has raised concerns over the disruptive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46460054/cathie-wood-says-ai-is-hurting-entry-level-jobs-offers-advice-to-jobseekers-here-is-her-advice-for-those-joining-the-workforce">impact of AI on entry-level jobs</a>, especially for new college graduates, amid rising unemployment.

Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) is actively exploring a significant strategic shift towards developing &#8220;full-end solutions&#8221; and chiplets, potentially moving beyond its traditional intellectual property (IP) licensing model.
Check out the stock price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARM">Arm over here.</a>
What Happened: This revelation came during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46740862/arm-holdings-shares-move-lower-following-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-in-line-soft-q2-earnings-guidance">first quarter 2026 earnings</a> call, where CEO Rene Haas indicated the move is driven by the &#8220;insatiable compute demands of AI&#8221; and customer requests for more integrated solutions.
Haas stated, &#8220;We are continuing to explore the possibility of moving beyond our current platform into additional compute to subsystems, chiplets and potentially full-end solutions.&#8221;
He elaborated that the company is &#8220;looking now at the viability of moving beyond the current platform to additional subsystems, chiplets or possibly full solutions,&#8221; emphasizing that Arm possesses the internal expertise needed to &#8220;design, implement and have a chiplet, for example, manufacturing.&#8221;
This signals a potential foray into areas currently dominated by its partners and customers, including major players like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
The strategic exploration is closely tied to Arm&#8217;s surging presence in the AI landscape. The company reported that its Neoverse data center chips are expected to capture &#8220;nearly 50%&#8221; market share among top hyperscalers this year, a dramatic leap from &#8220;sub 20%&#8221; just a year ago.
This growth is fueled by adoption in critical AI infrastructure, including Nvidia Grace Blackwell, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS Graviton, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Axion, and Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Cobalt.
The integration of Arm designs into high-performance AI systems, such as Nvidia&#8217;s Grace Blackwell, which is &#8220;25x more energy efficient than the previous x86-based system,&#8221; underscores Arm&#8217;s growing influence.

Why It Matters: While a direct entry into chip manufacturing could create new competitive dynamics with its existing clientele, Arm&#8217;s confidence stems from its unique position as the &#8220;only compute platform built to deliver AI performance across the full spectrum of power and performance from milliwatts to megawatts.&#8221;
The company also highlighted the success of its Compute Subsystems (CSS) platforms, which are already delivering &#8220;double the royalty of Armv9&#8221; and exceeding expectations, providing a blueprint for more integrated offerings.
Arm missed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46740862/arm-holdings-shares-move-lower-following-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-in-line-soft-q2-earnings-guidance">first-quarter</a> revenue estimate of $1.055 billion, as its sales came in at $1.053 billion. The adjusted earnings of 35 cents per share were in line with the analyst estimates. &#8211;
Price Action: Arm shares fell 8.56% in after-hours on Wednesday. The stock was up 27.40% year-to-date and 13.29% over the past year.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Arm maintains solid momentum across the short, medium, and long term. However, the stock scores poorly on value rankings.

An unspecified number of cans labeled as Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) energy drinks were accidentally filled with High Noon vodka seltzer before reaching stores, prompting a recall posted to the Food and Drug Administration's website.
What Happened: The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon
The recall targets two production lots of High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs (12 fl oz) that may contain cans mislabeled as "CELSIUS Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition" with a silver lid instead of Celsius' usual black top. 
High Noon shipped the lots July 21–23, 2025, to distributors in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin, and distributors sent them on to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The notice reports no illnesses or adverse events, and Benzinga has asked High Noon for further comment.

Why It Matters:  The mix-up drew fast attention because Celsius is popular with fitness instructors, tech executives, all-night investment bankers and politicians such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who keeps a stash in his office fridge, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2025/01/14/celsius-politics-capitol-hill-mike-johnson-energy-drinks/">according</a> to The Washington Post.
The FDA urges consumers to avoid drinking from the affected cans, discard the contents, and check the bottom codes, even if the Celsius can was not purchased inside a High Noon pack. The notice reiterates that consumers should verify that any "Celsius Astro Vibe" can does not carry the impacted bottom codes and should not consume it if it does. CVS <a href="https://www.cvs.com/content/dam/enterprise/cvsretail/help-assets/recall_pdf/Gallo_HighNoonBeachVariety12Pk_615373.pdf">says</a> customers can return the implicated High Noon variety packs to its stores.
Price Action: Shares of Celsius Holdings fell by 1.9% to $46.54 on Wednesday and were down another 1.01% in after-hours trading at the time of publication.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate Celsius Holdings stock has Momentum in the 90th percentile and Growth in the 82nd percentile. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check here to see how it stacks up against other beverage stocks</a>.

Celsius Energy Drink Cans Mislabeled With Vodka Triggers Recall And FDA Warning: What's Going On?

Outlook
Due to ongoing tariff headwinds, economic activity remains subdued; no restocking has been observed as customers maintain a "wait and see" approach. This has created some headwinds to demand that were not anticipated at the beginning of the year, concentrated in the United States, where flat product apparent steel consumption (ASC) is now forecast to decline slightly in 2025 within the range of -2.0% to 0% (as compared to growth of 1.0% to 3.0% forecast at the beginning of the year). Section 232 tariffs have also increased costs and negatively impacted the supply/demand balance in Canada and Mexico markets.
In Europe demand is faring relatively better, and flat product ASC growth is expected in the range of -0.5% to +1.5% in 2025, only marginally below the forecast at the beginning of the year (+0% to +2.0%) due to more limited direct tariff impacts and support from lower interest rates. Looking beyond the near-term challenges (seasonal demand weakness and manufacturing activity at stable but low levels), inventories in Europe remain low, and the prospects of incremental trade policy support, a strengthened carbon border adjustment mechanism, together with higher infrastructure and defense spending, may materially improve the medium-term outlook.
So far this year, steel demand in Brazil has been stronger than initial expectations, and the Company now forecasts positive ASC growth of up to 2.0% in 2025 (vs. a stable demand forecast previously). India continues to be the fastest growing major steel market, with demand well supported particularly by infrastructure investment; ASC remains on track to increase in the range of 6.0% to 7.0% in 2025.
As a result, World ex-China ASC is now expected to grow by +1.5% to +2.5% in 2025, as compared to the initial +2.5% to +3.5% guidance provided at the beginning of the year. China's steel industry capacity remains unsustainable, and its elevated exports continue to weigh on ex-China fundamentals. China demand is expected to remain broadly stable in 2025, with the tariff impacts on exports and real estate weakness being offset by manufacturing and infrastructure demand.
Further contributions from strategic growth projects and Calvert consolidation should support 2H 2025 profitability which will face increased headwinds from Section 232 tariffs and impacts of seasonality. Free cash flow is expected to be positive in 2025, supported by a release of working capital in 2H 2025.
Looking to the medium term, the Company remains positive on the steel demand outlook and believes that it is optimally positioned to execute its strategy of growth with capital returns, and therefore has made no changes to its investment or capital return plans. Capex for 2025 remains guided at $4.5–$5.0 billion, including $1.4–$1.5 billion for strategic growth and $0.3–$0.4 billion for decarbonization projects. Furthermore, the completion and ramp-up of the Company's strategic growth projects is expected to support structurally higher EBITDA and investable cash flow in the coming periods.

ArcelorMittal Holds $4.5B–$5.0B Capex For 2025; World ex-China Steel Demand Slows To +1.5%–2.5%; US ASC To Decline 0%–2%, India To Grow 6%–7%; H2 Profitability Seen Rising On Project Ramp-Up Despite Section 232 Tariff Pressures

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella has said that working with leading AI startups like OpenAI helps sharpen the company's cloud infrastructure and product development, drawing a parallel to a time when he wished Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) had chosen Azure over Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nadella Wanted Netflix On Azure, Not AWS</h2>
During Microsoft's fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46738585/microsoft-q4-earnings-highlights-double-beat-ceo-says-cloud-and-ai-is-the-driving-force">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday, Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss asked Nadella how the company manages the balance between supporting fast-growing AI startups — which are both major customers and potential competitors — and ensuring long-term value for Microsoft's cloud business.
In response, Nadella said Microsoft has been in similar positions before, referencing early cloud adoption in the streaming era.
"Back in the day when I was getting started on Azure, I used to look over the lake and sort of see Netflix and Amazon, and I say, ‘I wish Netflix ran on Azure,'" Nadella said. "And in some sense, that's kind of what we now have… the largest AI workloads run on Azure."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Startups Like OpenAI Help Microsoft Optimize Its Cloud Stack</h2>
He explained that these high-demand AI applications, like ChatGPT and Copilot, allow Microsoft to optimize its entire data and software stack — including tools like Cosmos DB — around the needs of cutting-edge workloads.
"These are workload results that are invaluable for us to learn to build both the products as well as the platform," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft Eyes Broad Adoption Beyond Leading AI Players</h2>
Nadella underscored that Microsoft's strategy includes not just supporting headline AI startups but also tracking usage across a "broad diffusion" of second-tier AI apps, ensuring scalability and relevance for a wide customer base.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Azure Posts Strong Growth, Hits $75 Billion In Annual Revenue</h2>
Microsoft reported fourth-quarter revenue of $76.44 billion, marking a 17% year-over-year increase and surpassing the Street estimate of $73.80 billion.
The Intelligent Cloud segment brought in $29.9 billion, up 26% from a year ago. Azure and other cloud services within the Intelligent Cloud segment posted a 39% year-over-year revenue increase.
Nadella noted that Azure crossed $75 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/07/46735066/microsofts-74-billion-ai-surprise-etfs-bet-big-on-azures-secret-weapon">revenue for the full fiscal</a> year, up 34% year-over-year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft Still Trails AWS In Global Cloud Market</h2>
As of the fourth quarter 2024, AWS maintains its lead in the global cloud infrastructure market with a 30% share, according to Synergy Research Group.
Microsoft Azure followed at 21%, and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud held 12%. Together, the &#8220;Big Three&#8221; controlled over 60% of the market, while all other providers remained in the low single digits.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Microsoft shares edged up 0.13% during regular trading and jumped 8.28% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Analysts and experts are reacting to the Federal Reserve keeping its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50% on Wednesday&#8217;s Federal Open Market Committee Meeting, amid mounting pressure from President Donald Trump to deliver immediate and aggressive rate cuts.
What Happened: Economist Mohamed El-Erian noted that yet again, &#8220;it is the post-FOMC press conference that moves the markets,&#8221; rather than the outcome of the meeting itself. 
El-Erian, who is currently the Chief Economic Adviser at Allianz, highlighted the fact that &#8220;stocks fall, bond yields rise, and the dollar strengthens,&#8221; as a result of the Fed&#8217;s remarks, while adding that Fed Chair Jerome Powell &#8220;sounds more hawkish than many expected on the outlook for policy rates.&#8221;

Here, El-Erian is referring to the Fed&#8217;s readiness to keep rates elevated if needed, not giving any hints of possible rate cuts in the next meeting.

Former Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren warned that this meeting was unlikely to offer clear forward guidance. He pointed out that the labor market remains tight, saying &#8220;unemployment still at full employment,&#8221; and inflation continues to hover above the Fed's 2% target.
In his view, policymakers are likely to maintain a cautious, &#8220;data dependent&#8221; approach rather than committing to a definitive path.

&#8220;It's the first time we've seen two board members dissent since 1993,&#8221; he says, adding that &#8220;As expected Governors Bowman and Waller were dovish outliers, with the majority of the FOMC instead preferring to wait to learn more about the inflation process over the summer,&#8221; as quoted by Bloomberg finance correspondent, Sonali Basak.

Why It Matters: Powell had told Congress over a month ago that the Fed&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46077396/powell-interest-rates-trump-inflation-tariffs">near-term policy uncertainty</a> revolves entirely around Trump&#8217;s tariffs. &#8220;Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity,&#8221; Powell said during the hearing.
Despite his verbal jabs at the Fed Chair, Trump said last week that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46621837/trump-says-not-necessary-to-fire-jerome-powell-but-presses-fed-chair-on-rate-cuts-and-2-5-billion-renovation-id-love-him-to-lower-interest-rates">does not intend</a> to fire Powell, saying that, &#8220;To do so is a big move and I just don't think it's necessary.&#8221;
He did, however, continue to press for lower interest rates, saying that &#8220;I'd love him to lower interest rates,&#8221; during a visit to the Fed&#8217;s headquarters last week.
