Quick Glance: Time for Kering’s King to Consider a Step Back

Francois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, should consider bringing in fresh blood and possibly appointing a new CEO.

In any sector other than luxury, shareholders might have already stepped in to suggest a change at the helm, but at Kering, founding families tightly control the company.

The board of Kering should apply pressure on the chairman to at least give up the CEO role.

Pinault should step back into the chairman's job and leave a new Kering chief the independence they will need.

Quick Glance: Sanofi Struggles with Profit Decline due to Competition and Currency Effects

In the first quarter, Sanofi's operating income decreased by 14.7%, primarily due to currency effects and competitive pressures on their multiple sclerosis drug Aubagio, despite the increase in sales of the anti-inflammatory drug Dupixent.

The company emphasized the forecast that adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for 2024 are expected to decrease by a low single-digit percentage, excluding currency fluctuations.

During a media briefing, Finance chief Francois-Xavier Roger highlighted the impact of the decline in the Argentine Peso on first-quarter international sales.

Since unexpectedly abandoning the 2025 margin targets last October under a plan to boost spending on drug development, CEO Paul Hudson has been working to restore investor confidence in the company's drug pipeline.

Quick Glance: Security Concerns Prompt Alternatives for France's Olympic Opening Ceremony

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.

Expressing confidence, Macron believes the anticipated Games ceremony with large crowds by the Seine, involving around 160 boats embarking on a 6 km journey, will be a significant achievement.

The leadership of the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams approves of the security arrangements along the Seine for the opening ceremony, according to the team's security head, Nicole Deal.

Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.

Quick Glance: Michael Douglas defends farting as Benjamin Franklin

Michael Douglas expresses no remorse for his portrayal of flatulence as a founding father.

In an interview with Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show, the Wall Street actor defended the scene in his Apple TV+ series Franklin where his Benjamin Franklin repeatedly breaks wind. Douglas delved into a book about Franklin and used 'Fart Proudly' to counter critics.

Indeed, Franklin penned an essay titled 'Fart Proudly' in 1781, delving into the science of flatulence and proposing ways to turn its odor into a pleasant scent.

The Apple TV+ series, based on A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, narrates Franklin's endeavor to persuade the French government to back the American revolution.
