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

2025 Outlook
(i) Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in line with our medium-term outlook of between 4-8%. The outlook for FY25 reflects our current assessment of inflation and other macroeconomic conditions.
(ii) Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range of 190 to 220 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect the average gross debt coupon in FY25 to be approximately 4%.
(iii) Effective Tax Rate (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY25 to be in the range of 26% to 28%. The ETR outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation.
(iv) Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 3.5 and 4.0 billion USD in FY25.

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.

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.

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shared its second-quarter 2025 financial results, posting a record $50.2 billion in revenue, as well as the impacts of President Donald Trump's tariffs during the company's earnings call with investors.
Check out the latest price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F">F stock here</a>.
What Happened: "We expect tariffs to be a net headwind of about $2 billion this year," Ford CEO Jim Farley said during the earnings call with investors on Wednesday, adding that the company was closely working with policymakers and monitoring developments.
"We want to simplify the tariffs so that we can make up for that gap between the bilateral import tariff rates and what we&#8217;re paying in our tariff bill," Farley said in a Q&amp;A session with investors during the earnings call.&nbsp;
He also added that Ford is "in daily contact" with the lawmakers over tariffs and has the opportunity to reduce tariff liability given its strong domestic manufacturing capabilities.
Farley also shared that the new emission norms have reduced the pressure on the company to buy ZEV credits and saved over $1.5 billion in costs. The relaxed norms also help Ford Blue, the company's ICE-powered vehicle line, explore "multi-billion dollar" opportunities over the next two years.&nbsp;
"We support a single durable national emission standard to ensure sound industry planning," Farley said, adding that the EPA's announcement helps Ford with "greater powertrain optionality."
Ford Model E, the company's electric vehicle lineup, also experienced growth, with revenues reaching $2.4 billion, but it also reported an EBIT loss of $1.3 billion, $179 million higher than the previous year.
"We have scheduled an event on Aug. 11 in Kentucky where we will share more about our plans to design and build breakthrough electric vehicles in America," the company said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Ford shared its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46740005/ford-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-shares-slide-as-automaker-warns-of-2-billion-tariff-headwind">Q2 earnings recently</a>, posting a strong performance for the company in the U.S. despite uncertainty in the auto industry.
The company has also pushed for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46436042/ford-responds-to-trumps-ev-policy-shift-with-push-for-affordable-electric-models">more affordable EVs</a> in the U.S. despite Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46289556/trumps-tax-bill-axes-the-7500-ev-credit-heres-how-you-can-still-claim-it">anti-EV stance</a>, with the company planning to introduce more EVs and electrified vehicles in its lineup.
Elsewhere, the EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, announced a proposal to rescind the crucial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46714902/trump-epa-wants-to-overturn-2009-endangerment-finding-that-controls-carbon-emissions-to-end-16-years-of-uncertainty-for-automakers">2009 Endangerment Finding</a>, which forms the basis for much of the U.S.'s climate action. Rolling it back would free automakers from any legal pressure to reduce carbon emissions.
