Microsoft announced strong Q4 results on Tuesday, with sales hitting “$43.1 billion, up 17 percent from a year earlier,” while “profits rose 33 percent to $15.5 billion.” The figures “far surpassed analyst expectations” for the computing and gaming giant, which is continuing to benefit from the pandemic-induced shift to remote technologies - NYTimes and WSJ and MarketWatch
Even as the U.S. copes with the Covid-induced financial mess, remnants of the last one still lurk, reminding us of the shelf-life of such events. Case in point: Monday’s ruling from a New York state court that Credit Suisse owes a bond insurer $604 million over claims it had to pay out “during the 2008 financial crisis after the Swiss bank lied to get it to insure risky mortgage-backed securities that ultimately imploded” – Law360

Here's what to expect when the FOMC breaks today - WSJ and Bloomberg
Pepsi is the latest Big Food company to partner with Beyond Meat, with the companies announcing a newly formed “joint venture called The PLANeT [sic] Partnership to produce a line of plant-based protein snack and beverage options.” Beyond Meat has previously “teamed up with restaurant chains like McDonald’s, Subway and Pizza Hut to test or supple plant-based burgers, meatballs and other products in the U.S. and abroad” - NYTimes and MarketWatch and TechCrunch
VW, in an effort to “overturn a lower-court ruling that could open the car industry to oversight from municipalities,” is seeking Supreme Court intervention after a 9th Circuit ruling in June that “two counties have authority alongside the federal Environmental Protection Agency to regulate the updates that car manufacturers make to emissions systems in vehicles after they are sold” - WSJ
Cosmetics company L’Occitane Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 in New Jersey, “outlining plans to shutter nearly two dozen locations as the retailer grapples with roughly $161 million in liabilities” – Law360
