EU Targets Microsoft's Team Bundling Practices

📉 The European Commission (EC) ruled that Microsoft's (MSFT) practice of bundling Teams with its Office 365 suite was anti-competitive, alleging it unfairly stifled competition by limiting interoperability with rival apps​.

🚨 Slack's 2020 complaint spurred the investigation, accusing Microsoft of using Teams to edge out competitors, reminiscent of its Internet Explorer debacle. Microsoft’s half-hearted attempt to unbundle Teams last April failed to quash the EC's concerns​​.

🔄 To mitigate the fallout, Microsoft announced it would unbundle Teams in Europe from October 2023, offering a cheaper, Teams-free Office suite. They also pledged to enhance interoperability with competitors like Zoom (ZM) and Salesforce​ (CRM).

Airbus Shares Tumble on Revised 2024 Guidance

📉 Airbus shares dropped following the company's decision to cut its 2024 guidance. The revision was prompted by ongoing supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions, painting a bleak picture for their immediate production targets​.

✈️ The aerospace giant has adjusted its delivery targets, impacting investor confidence. Despite strong demand and a hefty order backlog, Airbus struggled with timely deliveries, exacerbated by supply chain bottlenecks and rising costs.

📊 Revised projections have set the 2024 EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) between €6.5 billion and €7 billion, with around 800 commercial aircraft deliveries expected. The outlook reflects Airbus's cautious approach amidst an uncertain global economic environment.
