Additionally, Morocco has finalized a $600 million deal with Brazil’s Embraer for KC-390 Millennium transport aircraft to replace its aging C-130H fleet. The potential Rafale order could be placed in 2026, with delivery timelines still pending.

The Zacks Research Daily highlights recent performance and strategic developments for several major companies, including IBM, Goldman Sachs, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. IBM outperformed in the computer-integrated systems sector due to strong second-quarter 2025 results, driven by demand for hybrid cloud and AI solutions, and its acquisition of Hakkoda, which enhanced its data capabilities. IBM is also collaborating with SAP on generative AI for retail. However, declining consulting segment sales and integration risks from its acquisition spree are concerns. Goldman Sachs outperformed the financial sector with strong earnings and growth in global banking and markets, supported by restructuring and private equity expansion, though its reliance on overseas revenues and rising tech expenses are noted. Thermo Fisher showed resilience despite a year-to-date decline, leveraging GenAI in its PPI system and launching new products like Krios 5 Cryo-TEM and Orbitrap MS systems, with strategic acquisitions of Solventum and Olink. The article also covers reports on Reddit, TELUS, RPM, Clean Harbors, RenaissanceRe, Sirius XM, Amicus, Enbridge, RBC Bearings, Zions, Embraer, NOV, and Hain Celestial, each with specific performance drivers and risks.

Morocco is close to finalizing a $600 million deal with Brazilian aerospace company Embraer to acquire four to five KC-390 Millennium military transport planes to replace its aging C-130H fleet. The deal includes a memorandum of understanding to establish an integrated aviation center with a $1 billion investment, expected to create 1,000 jobs by 2035.
