NIPPON STEEL PITCHES $14B U.S. INVESTMENT TO SAVE U.S. STEEL $X DEAL

Nippon Steel is offering to invest $14B into U.S. Steel, including up to $4B for a new mill, if the Trump admin clears its takeover. The plan boosts its original $1.4B pledge and includes $11B through 2028—$1B of that for a greenfield site expected to grow to $4B.

The deal faces a May 21 national security review deadline. Biden previously blocked the merger; Trump has 15 days after the review to make a call. Nippon’s pushing hard to close the deal, with a $565M breakup fee and 25% steel tariffs at stake.

$JPM CFO Jeremy Barnum says full-year net interest income could come in “a little better, maybe by a billion dollars” vs prior expectations, though the current $94.5B guidance stands for now.

He added, “the yield curve’s been very volatile… we’d like to see things settle down before sharpening our pencils.”

JPM also flagged potential tariff impact on its commercial book, saying it depends on how much cost gets passed through. Trading remains a bright spot, and the firm is sticking with its current headcount, asking leaders to “leverage the existing footprint” to support growth.

Regeneron is acquiring 23andMe for $256M, taking control of millions of customers’ genetic data as part of the deal. The move raises privacy concerns, but Regeneron says it’ll stick to 23andMe’s existing privacy policies and legal standards.

The deal includes the company’s Personal Genome Service, research services, and biobank. All consumer-facing services will continue, and the company plans to explain its data use plans to a court-appointed ombudsman. The deal is set to close in Q3.
