Now time for some of today’s trending tickers. We are watching Microsoft, Campbell’s and PNC. First off, Microsoft, the tech giant said in a post on X that it is investing $17.5 billion in India over the next 4 years. It’s the company’s biggest ever Asia investment and it’s aimed at advancing India’s cloud and AI business. CEO Satya Nadella and Microsoft was making the investment to help India build the infrastructure, skills and sovereign capabilities needed for its AI future.Next, Campbell’s, the company reported lower profit and revenue in its latest quarter, citing continued weak demand for snacks. Though consumer shopping behaviors and at-home cooking trends do continue to benefit its meals and beverages portfolio, the food and beverage maker also said it has agreed to acquire a 49% interest in La Regina, that’s the maker of Rayo’s pasta sauce. Campbell’s has previously said it would more closely partner with its suppliers, including La Regina, in an effort to.Mitigate added tariff costs. NPNC, the Pittsburgh-based lender, said it’s high net worth customers can now trade Bitcoin directly through their investment accounts. That fulfills an initial goal of its partnership with Coinbase Global announced in July. It’s the latest example of a traditional financial services provider offering digital asset trading through its own platform. Also part of the deal, PNC provides Coinbase with banking services such as Treasury management.
