The analyst believes the updated guidance is 'overly' conservative.
Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette raised the price target to $283 from $280 (37.3% upside) and reiterated an Overweight ratng.
Faucette is encouraged by management's confidence in pulling forward assumptions around cross-border travel, which they now expect to return to 2019 levels by year-end 2022 versus their previous expectation for mid-2023.

The Marriott hotel chain leaves Russia after 25 years…
(MENAFN) The Marriott hotel chain said it was leaving Russia after 25 years because Western bans made it “impossible” to continue working there.
The company closed its Moscow office and stopped investing in Russia 3 months ago after the attack on Ukraine.
Yet its 22 hotels in the country are owned by third-party groups and have remained in operation.
Marriott said the process for shutting down services in Russia was “complex”.
“We have come to the conclusion that the recently announced US, UK and European restrictions will make it impossible for Marriott to continue to operate or franchise hotels in the Russian market,” said a statement.
The company said it remains “focused on supporting our Russian-based associates” and has supported people in Ukraine and Russia to protect service with Marriott outside of war-affected countries.
He further affirmed “We continue to join our associates and millions of people around the world in wishing an end to the current violence and the beginning of a path towards peace”.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) AFP,Washington - The United States announced on Monday that it will lift in November, for people vaccinated the entry restrictions into the country imposed 18 months ago by the Covid-19 pandemic, which particularly harmed travelers from Europe.
Jeffrey Zients, the coronavirus response coordinator for the government of President Joe Biden, told reporters that the measure will take effect "early November."
The easing of travel restrictions imposed in March 2020 by Donald Trump, when the coronavirus pandemic broke out, marks a significant change by the Biden government and responds to significant demand from European allies at a time of tense diplomatic relations. .
In addition, the closure of borders affected millions of travelers, including those vaccinated, causing painful personal and family situations, as well as growing impatience, particularly among Europeans.
Currently, only US citizens, residents, and foreigners with special visas can enter the United States from most European countries.
However, numerous safeguards will be maintained to prevent the spread of the virus, which has already killed more than 670,000 Americans, and which is increasing due to the Delta variant, after a sharp drop in the first months of the year.
It is not immediately clear if the new measure applies only to vaccines approved by the United States, or if it also includes those made by China or Russia. Zients said that will be determined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
He added that restrictions on the movement of vehicles from Canada and Mexico will be maintained.
Zients said travelers will need to prove they are fully vaccinated before boarding planes bound for the United States, and also provide a negative Covid-19 test taken up to 72 hours in advance.
Americans who are not immunized may enter only if they exhibit a negative test performed within the previous 24 hours.
Masks will be mandatory on flights to the United States and airlines will provide the country's health authorities with contact tracing information.
"This new system follows the recommendations of science to keep Americans' international air travel safe," Zients said.
The announcement was quickly welcomed by the Airlines For Europe group, which considered that "this decision will give a much-needed boost to transatlantic traffic and tourism and will bring together families and friends."
While Biden was expected to reopen borders for the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, the announcement covers the entire world.

Shares Of Zymergen Plunge 70% On Revenue Warning And CEO Departure
Shares of biotechnology company Zymergen (NASDAQ:ZY) were down nearly 70% in pre-market trading after it warned that revenue will be immaterial through 2022.
The revenue warning and stock plunge come three months after Zymergen priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the top of its expected range and its share price soared after making its market debut.
Zymergen said in a press release that it no longer expects to generate product revenue in 2021 and that revenue next year will be "immaterial."
The company also said that Josh Hoffman, who co-founded Zymergen in 2013, is stepping down as chief executive officer (CEO) and will be replaced on an acting basis by Jay Flatley, former CEO of Illumina.
Zymergen's share price fell to $11.07 on the news, giving the company a market capitalization of just over $1 billion, down from a high in April of $4.8 billion.
Zymergen's current challenges involve a product called "Hyaline," which the company launched in 2020. It's an optical film created using a biomolecule that electronics companies can use for things such as touch screens.
To date, Zymergen has earned some revenue from research and development service agreements but almost nothing from product sales. In its IPO prospectus, Zymergen said it expected to start generating revenue from Hyaline in the second half of 2021.
Zymergen raised over $465 million U.S. in its IPO and said it now has cash and equivalents of $588 million U.S. For the second quarter, it expects operating costs of $100 million U.S. to $105 million U.S. on total revenue of $5 million U.S. to $6 million U.S.

By Yusif Abbaszada
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev commented about Iran's
anti-Azerbaijani policies and openly spoke about attacks of the
Tehran regime against Baku, calling a spade a spade, Azernews
First, he declared that our compatriots on the other bank of the
Araz River are an integral part of the Azerbaijani nation. In his
previous speeches, he called them our“40m-strong compatriots”, and
now by calling them“Azerbaijanis living in Iran,” he further
specified his point.
Second, by saying“we will do our best to protect Azerbaijanis
in Iran,” he announced the Southern Azerbaijani direction in
Azerbaijan's foreign policy, that is, Baku is undertaking the
protection of Azerbaijanis in the south.
Third, he also commented on steps to be taken to protect our
compatriots. Baku will support the struggle of our compatriots in
the south for securing the right to study in their mother
The overall conclusion of what the president said in his speech
boils down to the following. The issue is not episodial, and the
possible normalization of the relations with Tehran will not put
the protection of the rights of our compatriots in the south on the
back burner, on the contrary, official Baku may include the rights
of our compatriots to study in their mother tongue as one of the
main points in the relations with Iran from now on.

Doha: The Fire Station: Artist in Residence will launch tomorrow two simultaneous exhibitions“Mubarak Nasser Al Thani: Espresso 4 the Road” in Gallery 4 and“Yousef Bahzad: Earth Metal” in Gallery 3. The exhibitions will be open until July 16 for residents and visitors to explore.
Mubarak Nasser Al Thani: Espresso 4 the Road will focus on the rise of the metropole and the birth of global culture and how it connects people, both physically and culturally. His work covers architecture, flora and fauna, geography, history, and exploration, among others. Travel and road trips are a large part of the process while creating this body of work.
A work by Mubarak Nasser Al Thani
The playful depiction of iconic symbols stresses the universality of global culture, and how we come to perceive it.
The artworks also capture the non-tangible human side of global culture like amusement parks, circuses, playgrounds and others that are not necessarily a destination, but rather things embedded in our everyday life, through our moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
The second exhibition to open on the same day titled Earth Metal by Yousef Bahzad, explores themes of erosion and manifestation, and the notion that the land itself shapes people, and subsequently, people thereon shape the land.
Bahzad says he approaches his paintings“through expressive abstraction and a tinge of the surreal through a lens of mystery which invokes questions within the viewer.”

Google CEO: Staffs should not 'equate fun with money’
(MENAFN) Google CEO Sundar Pichai called for his staffs not to "equate fun with money" during a firm-wide town hall event the previous week.
Pichai remarked when staffs protested that Google was limiting benefits for travel, in addition to on-site entertainment and other perks, in line with a recording of the conference taken by CNBC.
The staffs argued the firm was "nickel-and-diming" them even as Google sees high-breaking incomes.
"How do I say it?" Pichai replied. "Look, I hope all of you are reading the news, externally. The fact that you know, we are being a bit more responsible through one of the toughest macroeconomic conditions underway in the past decade, I think it’s important that as a company, we pull together to get through moments like this."
"I remember when Google was small and scrappy," he added. "Fun didn’t always — we shouldn’t always equate fun with money. I think you can walk into a hard-working startup and people may be having fun and it shouldn’t always equate to money."

(MENAFN – Khaleej Times) Sharjah community teams launched a three-day mosquito control campaign on Wednesday, spraying pesticides on areas likely to become breeding grounds for insects and mosquitoes this winter season.
Working with the Department of Health and Prevention’s National Center for Malaria Vector Control, the community is taking all necessary precautions to prevent outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases.
More than 96 employees and supervisors were assigned to the campaign, said Wisal Jasim Habash, director of the environmental services department.
All workers were given safety tools and other equipment, including 24 hand sprayers, 24 sprayers, five vehicle-mounted micro-sprayers, and 24 bags of mosquito larvae inspection carts. 80 liters of special pesticides were prepared for the trip.
Hassan Al Tafaq, director of the community’s agriculture and environment department, said they had developed an action plan aimed at getting rid of pests, insects and mosquitoes across the city. The team also mapped areas likely to become breeding grounds.
“During the campaign, the community will also educate the public on how to get red from mosquitoes in their areas,” said Al Tafaq.
He added that a weekly schedule has been created for the spray team, targeting areas with standing water, water storage barrels, planting trays, water tanks, discarded pots, water ponds and drainage holes.

(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Nov 21 (KNN) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is planning to carry a complete review of its penalty system, a senior regulatory source told Business Standard.
The potential changes might involve increasing the penalty amounts, this could be in accordance with the size of the regulated entities, their importance to the system, and the number of repeat offences, it added.
The review may also explore clawback of payouts to CEOs and key management personnel (KMP), it said.
Imposing additional capital charges on regulated entities is also speculated, as per the report.
The initiative comes as the apex bank looks to enhance corporate governance standards within regulated entities and emphasize its importance, it added.
In a meeting with the boards of state-run and private banks in May, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das discussed governance issues, ethics, the role of boards, and supervisory expectations. This is being viewed as an extension of that focus.
On November 16, the RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 90.92 lakh on Axis Bank for non-compliance with certain directions issued by the apex bank on 'Reserve Bank of India (Know Your Customer (KYC)) Directions, 2016', 'Loans and Advances – Statutory and Other Restrictions', 'Guidelines on Managing Risks and Code of Conduct in Outsourcing of Financial Services by banks' and 'Code of Conduct for Opening and Operating Current Accounts'.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Over the past day, the occupiers opened fire from all available types of weapons on Pryvillia, Lysychansk, Vovchoyarivka, Zolotarivka, Loskutivka, Verkhniokamyanka, and Bilohorivka localities of Luhansk region.
'Private houses in the villages burn down one by one. With such a high density of shelling, we only have time to shelter the injured. Houses are on fire simultaneously in several places. We barely have time to eliminate large-scale fires in Lysychansk. Like in an apartment block, where the flames spread to several apartments. Or in a shopping mall. It is difficult to imagine the consequences if the fire on the area of 1,800 square meters had not been put out in time,' Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haidai posted on Facebook .
According to him, an injured man from Lysychansk was delivered to the hospital in Chernivtsi yesterday.
Haidai added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had repelled two massive Russian offensives on July 1: in the direction of Verkhniokamyanka and a gelatin plant, where the enemy tried to conduct combat reconnaissance. In both cases, the occupiers retreated.
'The Russians are attacking from different sides, they have involved a lot of personnel and equipment. Our military fend the enemy's offensive off,' he emphasized.
On February 24, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure facilities, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, rocket launchers, aviation bombs, and ballistic missiles.

The ICRC works in crisis zones around the world. In April, it helped broker a prisoner exchange between Yemen's warring parties. Keystone / Hisham Al-helali
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is in financial difficulties and has asked the Swiss federal government for help, reports the SonntagsZeitung newspaper. This content was published on June 4, 2023 June 4, 2023 Sonntagszeitung/jc
The Geneva-based humanitarian group has been struggling with a big funding gap for some time, a situation worsened by the Russia-Ukraine war. It recently announced it would have to cut 1,800 jobs to save CHF400 million ($440 million), the paper recalls.
The foreign ministry is“closely monitoring the situation at the ICRC and is concerned about the financial situation and the impact on the staff," the ministry told the Sonntagszeitung. Both the foreign affairs and finance ministries are“currently holding talks with the ICRC to discuss the current and future challenges linked to the ICRC's financial situation", the spokesperson confirmed.

One of the issues under discussion is whether an interest-free loan of CHF200 million ($220 million) granted in 2020 to mitigate the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in developing countries should be repaid.
Switzerland has traditionally had close ties with the ICRC, founded by Swiss Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Dunant in the 19th century and guardian of the Geneva Conventions. It is traditionally headed by Swiss nationals and since October has had its first woman president, former Swiss diplomat Mirjana Spoljaric Egger.Switzerland is the ICRC's third largest funder. Last year, the federal government contributed CHF166 million to the Geneva-based humanitarian organisation.

(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Rina Amiri, US Special Envoy for Women's Affairs in Afghanistan, has expressed concern about the dissolution of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, the Independent Commission for Overseeing the Implementation of the Constitution and the High Council for National Reconciliation by the Taliban.
Last night, Saturday, she tweeted that the dissolution of these government institutions contradicts Afghan demands and must be“remedied”.
She also said that“restoration of rights of women & girls & protection of vulnerable populations are essential to any progress with the Taliban.”
She also spoke with Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban's acting Foreign Minister, and US Special Representative for Afghanistan Thomas West recently.
Special Representative, West, tweeted that he had“conveyed unified int'l opposition to ongoing and expanding restrictions on women and girls' rights and role in society.”
Dialogue with the Taliban will continue, according to Thomas West, in support of the Afghan people and the US national interest.
The Taliban's dismantling of legal institutions and commissions prompted widespread condemnation from around the world.
The Taliban's decision to dissolve major institutions in Afghanistan, according to EU Special Representative for Afghanistan Tomas Niklasson, is a concerning message for human rights and national reconciliation.
All of these institutions, EU Representative Niklasson added, are required and necessary in Afghanistan after decades of violence and conflict.
Von Brandt, the EU Ambassador to Afghanistan, expressed concern over the Taliban's decision on Twitter, saying that only legitimate governments have the right to suggest changes in the institutional set-up.
Ambassador Brandt continued by stating that national human rights institutions serve as the link to the outside world, but that these links are being destroyed in Afghanistan.
Following the Taliban's reemergence in Afghanistan, the group shut down a number of institutions, notably the Electoral Commission and the Ministry of Women's Affairs in addition to the six newly dissolved institutions.

Tokyo, April 2 (IANS) Japan's Tokyo area is expected to sustain a tight supply-demand situation for electricity this summer, according to projections made by the government.
According to the latest estimates released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the reserve power supply capacity ratio in the metropolitan area might hit the lowest level for maintaining stable supply by falling to 3 percent, if the region served by Tokyo Electric Power Company experiences excessive heat on a once-in-a-decade scale in July, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Even if such severe weather persists, utilities in other locations are anticipated to have power supply reserves of greater than 3 per cent, the forecast showed.
The estimates, based on the supply plans of electrical service providers, expected the reserve capacity rate to improve to 3.9 per cent in the Tokyo area in August and stand at 4.6 percent in January 2024 for the region as well as northern parts of Japan including Hokkaido.
Amid power crunch concerns, the Japanese government asked Japanese residents and businesses to conserve electricity in July of last year.
The request was made to avoid a power shortage for the first time since fiscal 2015, when all of the nation's nuclear reactors were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster brought on by a powerful earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
A similar request was issued for this winter until Friday, with the government encouraging residents to lower their thermostat settings and switch off lights when not in use.
To ensure a stable power supply, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has instructed his government to speed up efforts to restart nuclear reactors that face stringent safety standards implemented after the 2011 disaster, local media reports showed.

As Jan. 6 probes heat up, Trump presses for announcement in early 2024
(MENAFN) According to a source, former US President Donald Trump has escalated his attempts to confirm an unusually early campaign for the White House in order to counter the ruinous impact of discoveries revealed by the Jan. 6 investigative panel probing him.
Republicans close to Trump said Friday that a formal launch of his presidential run would increase his prospects of re-election in 2024, as well as reinforce his allegations that the Jan. 6 probes were politically motivated.
As per the report, Trump would begin the contest as the obvious front-runner, with an approval rating of approximately 80%.
Trump's hastened planning in recent weeks coincides with fresh information regarding his indifference to the possibility of violence on Jan. 6 and his failure to intervene to avert the attack on Capitol Hill.
Previously this week, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified at a House Select Committee hearing to investigate the January 6th Attack on the US Capitol that Trump was issued warnings about the possibility of violence, including from armed individuals at the rally, in advance and on the day of the attack.

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Minister of Housing Mostafa Madbouly discussed with the China State Construction Engineering Corporation on Monday areas of work in the Cairo Administrative Capital.
The proposed work of the Chinese company will be presented to the government and the concerned authorities for the agreement.
This came during the minister's meeting with representatives of the Chinese company, with whom the Minister of Investment signed a preliminary agreement to participate in the implementation of the administrative capital project, during President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's latest visit to China.

Representatives of the company presented their abilities and previous experience in the construction of many buildings for Chinese ministries, specifically in Beijing, as well as other countries internationally, including the Foreign Ministry building in Algeria, as well as some buildings in Ethiopia and Yemen.
They also added that the company is constructing two new capitals globally.
Representatives from the company further inquired as to the basic structure of the project, whereby Madbouly pointed out that it is currently connected to the main water line project of the 10th of Ramadan City water station to assist in the implementation of construction.
The line is expected to be completed in three months. Meanwhile, a plan for the electricity services for the project has been agreed upon with the Ministry of Electricity.
Additionally, the Chinese company has expressed its readiness to participate in the implementation of low-income units through its great experience in this area. It highlighted its ability to build high quality units with a high speed of implementation.
It further highlighted its willingness to participate in the implementation of sanitation projects in Upper Egypt and some Delta governorates. The Ministry of Housing is set to provide to the company with all the data on these projects, to participate in their implementation.
Madbouly further pointed out that the company representatives said they are prepared to accept various methods of financing, including external financing and the participation of the government in the implementation, or to provide it as a loan to the Egyptian government.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) The declaration by Pope Francis in support of civil union laws for same-sex couples, saying that homosexual people have the right to be with each other will pose a challenge for local followers who have demonstrated against same-sex marriage.
'They are children of God and they have the right to have a family. No one can be thrown out of the family, nor can life be made impossible for that, Pope Francis is quoted in a new documentary. 'What we have to have is a civil union law; in this way, they are legally protected .
The comments, in stark contrast to the positions of his predecessors, are likely to provoke controversy among local Catholics.
The pontiff spoke about same-sex civil unions during an interview with filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky for his documentary Francesco , which premiered in Rome on October 21.
Before being elected pope, Francisco served as archbishop of Buenos Aires and, in that role, advocated for same-sex civil unions in an attempt to block a gay marriage law. However, as pope, he had never publicly spoken in favor of civil unions.
The documentary narrates Pope Francis' approach to urgent social problems and pastoral ministry among those who live, in the words of the pontiff, "on the existential peripheries."

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) BEIRUT — Air strikes on the last pocket of Daesh extremists in eastern Syria have killed at least 25 civilians, including seven children, a monitor said on Monday.
The strikes were conducted on Sunday on and around the village of Al Shaafah, north of the former Daesh bastion of Albu Kamal near the border with Iraq, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The head of the Britain-based oservatory, Rami Abdel Rahman, said the air strikes were carried out by the US-led coalition.
'Twenty-five civilians, including seven children, were killed in the village of Al Shaafah and in surrounding desert areas in coalition strikes all through Sunday,' he said.
'This village is in the last pocket controlled by Daesh in the east of Syria,' he said of Al Shaafah, which lies on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
Air strikes against extremists forces holding out in remote areas of Deir Ezzor province have killed dozens of civilians in recent weeks, many of them relatives of the fighters.
Coalition-backed Kurdish-led forces have been trying to flush out Daesh from the east bank of the Euphrates, while Russian-backed regime and allied forces are stationed west of the river.
Abdel Rahman could not say how many Daesh combatants were taken out by the latest wave of air strikes.
'Daesh now holds less than 3 per cent of Syrian territory,' he said.
The self-styled 'caliphate' Daesh proclaimed over swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014 effectively died when anti-extremist forces retook its de facto capital Raqqa and other strongholds such as Albu Kamal late last year.
However the US-led coalition has continued to carry out strikes against small pockets of Daesh fighters hunkering down in and around small villages in Deir Ezzor province.
Small groups of Daesh-affiliated fighters are also still active in other parts of Syria.

(MENAFN - ValueWalk) In the latest craze of NFT madness, a lot of the actual“artistry” in NFT listings has been called into question. Many believers of NFT's and Ethereum say art is subjective and it is no different than real-world 'abstract art'. However many are finding it hard to defend a blank image, that just sold at auctions for $4.8 million.
That's right a literal, blank, white image sold for $4.8 million. No hidden attributes, nothing special, comes with no perks to the buyer it is just a simple blank JPEG.
Many suspect this could be some weird sort of money laundering or tax evasion scheme, but the new owner of this NFT comes from Saudi royalty, meaning that $4.8 million is change he finds in between his couch making this a likely joke for the now owner of this NFT.
The creator of the NFT posted on Twitter,“This is crazy, I made that shit as a joke now I can retire at 25. Holy shit.”

Helsinki, Feb 4 (IANS) Finland needs net immigration of up to 44,000 people annually to stabilise the size of the country's labour force, a report has said.
The report published by the Research Institute of the Finnish Economy (Etla) on Friday examined the economic effects of work-based immigration, and how immigration can compensate for the effects of Finland's aging population, Xinhua news agency reported.
Etla said that the level of immigration required to boost the workforce is almost three times the actual level predicted by Statistics Finland: around 15,000 people annually.
Finland's working-age population began to decline at the turn of the 2010s, when the 'baby boomer' generation moved into retirement.
If the current low birth rate and the level of immigration forecast by Statistics Finland continue, the working-age population will drop by nearly 20 percent by 2070.
Such a decrease in the labour force would result in a slowdown in the growth of the national economy, and affect the sustainability of the welfare state, Etla warned.
'There is a lot of room for increasing the employment rate in Finland, but it is by no means enough to cover the future need for labour,' said Tarmo Valkonen, research advisor at Etla.
According to Etla's model calculations, with the required level of immigration the labour input would increase by almost 10 per cent by 2040, and approximately 40 per cent by 2070.
Although the report points out that the impact of immigrants with low levels of education on the public economy is less positive than that of highly-educated people, low-skilled immigration is still beneficial to Finland's economy since it enables services to function and the general population to target better jobs that match their education.
'As life expectancy rises, additional immigration would still not be enough to stop the population aging,' Etla added.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) During the negotiations on the exchange of prisoners of war, the Ukrainian side always emphasizes the return of gravely injured and seriously ill defenders.
That's according to an official from the Coordination headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, who met with the families of Ukrainian soldiers captured by Russia, Ukrinform reports.
The event was held on the initiative of the Marine Corps Support Headquarters of Ukraine non-governmental organization with the participation of the association of families of fighters of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade.
During the meeting, the representative of the Coordination HQ emphasized that, according to the Geneva Conventions, the Russian side must return gravely wounded and seriously ill combatants without any preconditions.
Likewise, children, women, and civilian hostages illegally held by Russia in places of detention should be repatriated beyond any POW exchange processes.
With regard to information about missing and captured servicemen, the HQ spokesperson noted that such reports are collected in different ways: these include official confirmation by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation through the International Committee of the Red Cross, photo and video materials from open sources, as well as the testimony of defenders already returned from captivity.
