PINTEREST missed analysts’ estimates for second-quarter profit on Thursday, overshadowing robust revenue and user growth, and sending its shares down over 11% in extended trading. The social media platform reported adjusted profit per share of 33 cents, below analysts’ average estimate of 35 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG. However, its quarterly revenue grew 17% to $998.2 million, beating expectations of $974.8 million. The company’s stock has gained about 35% so far this year. The growth was boosted by a surge in Gen Z users—who now represent more than half of Pinterest’s user base— and adoption of its AI-powered ad suite, Performance+, which has appealed to advertisers seeking personalized and automated campaigns. CEO Bill Ready said adoption of Performance+ among mid-market advertisers was accelerating, cutting campaign creation time in half. Still, Pinterest forecast third-quarter revenue between $1.03 billion and $1.05 billion, broadly in line with estimates of $1.03 billion. The revenue growth outlook “is strong but not accelerating from second quarter’s 17%,“ said eMarketer analyst Jeremy Goldman. “In a high-expectation environment, even a small gap between reality and euphoria can trigger a sell-the-news reaction.” Rivals Meta and Reddit posted upbeat second quarter performance last week. In contrast, Snap reported its slowest quarterly revenue growth in over a year. The termination of the “de minimis” exemption - a U.S. duty-free import provision - led to tighter ad budgets for smaller platforms such as Snap, as marketers preferred to larger platforms with wider reach. Pinterest CFO Julia Donnelly said the change prompted Asia-based e-commerce retailers to reduce their U.S. ad spending, though some shifted spending to Europe and other international markets. The San Francisco-based company’s ad pricing fell 25% year over year, as a larger share of ad impressions now comes from international markets, where ad prices are generally lower than in the U.S. Pinterest has third-party ad deals with Google, Amazon.com and ad platform Magnite. The platform’s global monthly active users (MAUs) rose 11% from a year earlier to 578 million, topping estimates of 553 million, but user growth slowed to 8 million additions in the quarter from 17 million in the first. “MAUs are approaching a ceiling level of maturity, and the market is maturing rapidly despite the incremental implementation of AI to drive user growth,“ Zephirin Group analyst Lenny Zephirin said. - Reuters
PROTON has offered a first glimpse of the forthcoming e.MAS 5, the second vehicle in its e.MAS electric vehicle series, marking a significant step in the national carmaker’s electrification strategy. Although the full car remains partially concealed to preserve anticipation, the preview unveiled several technical and design details that signal Proton’s ambitions in the affordable EV space. Two variants will be available at launch: the Prime and the Premium, each offering different battery capacities supplied by CATL. The Premium version is fitted with a larger LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery, delivering an estimated driving range of 325km, while the Prime is equipped with a smaller unit, offering approximately 280km on a single charge. Despite its compact exterior, the e.MAS 5 surprises with its spacious interior. Proton claims the model comfortably seats five adults, made possible by the EV’s flat floor design, which allows for greater legroom at the rear. This was validated during on-site testing, where five larger-framed individuals were able to sit with ease and ample room. Stylistically, the car embraces a minimalist, rounded silhouette with smooth contours and aerodynamic elements reminiscent of the SMART range. Design highlights include feather-like LED headlights, 16-inch aerodynamically optimised wheels, and semi-concealed door handles. The Premium variant adds a dual-tone roof for a floating visual effect, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The interior is centred around a 14.6-inch high-definition touchscreen display, powered by an automotive-grade processor and offering support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Voice recognition is available in both English and Malay through Proton’s ATLAS Auto system, shared with the latest Proton X50. A crystal-style gear selector and two-tone steering wheel add a touch of sophistication to the cabin. Storage space is another strong suit of the e.MAS 5. With 32 compartments throughout the vehicle, owners will find ample places to stow everyday items. The boot offers 375 litres of space, expandable to 1,320 litres when the rear seats are folded. One of the standout features is the 70-litre front trunk (frunk), which includes hydraulic struts for added convenience. Charging infrastructure concerns have been addressed with the inclusion of a real-time charging map. Fast charging is efficient, with the battery able to charge from 30% to 80% in just 21 minutes. Although the e.MAS 5 is not performance-focused; it is agile where it matters most, and it accelerates from 0 to 50km/h in 3.9 seconds, ideal for urban traffic manoeuvres. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a single electric motor, supported by a rear multi-link suspension setup for improved ride comfort and handling. Safety has also been prioritised, with six airbags and an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) suite comprising 12 intelligent features, including adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and lane departure warning. To introduce the e.MAS 5 to Malaysians nationwide, PRO-NET has launched the MISI 5 preview tour, which will visit five major regions across the country. As Proton prepares to enter the competitive compact EV segment, the e.MAS 5 is positioned as a practical, tech-savvy, and family-friendly offering aimed at accelerating local EV adoption.

BANDAR PERMAISURI: The remains of Corporal Mohd Hafizul Izham Mazlan were buried with full police honours today. The 35-year-old policeman died after being struck by a suspect’s vehicle during a housebreaking operation in Alor Setar. His body was brought to his parents’ home in Kampung Pak Kancil before funeral prayers at Petra Jaya Mosque. The burial took place at the mosque’s cemetery, attended by Terengganu Police Chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairuddin and over 300 mourners. The ceremony included the handover of the Sang Saka Biru flag to the deceased’s father, Mazlan Umar, a retired police officer. The incident occurred yesterday when police responded to a tip-off about suspicious activity at Golf Park. Mohd Hafizul sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene, while one suspect was arrested immediately. Three other suspects fled but were later apprehended in Kepala Batas, Alor Setar. He leaves behind his wife, Nur Azhanis Mohd Yusoff, and three young sons. His eldest son, Muhammad Akif Naufal, recalled their last moments together when his father picked him up from school. The boy was later taken to the hospital, where he learned of his father’s tragic death. Mohd Hafizul’s mother, Maznah Ismail, expressed deep regret for not cooking his favourite nasi minyak before his passing. She last saw him briefly on Saturday night while he was on duty. The family mourns the loss of a dedicated officer and loving father. The police vow to ensure justice is served for the fallen corporal. - Bernama
BINANCE is working with Spanish bank BBVA to allow customers to hold their assets off the crypto exchange, Financial Times reported on Friday. The Spanish bank is working as one of only a small number of independent custodians for the world’s biggest crypto exchange, the report added, citing two people familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. BBVA did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for comment while Binance could not immediately be reached. The move comes as Binance faces heightened regulatory scrutiny worldwide and as crypto exchanges seek to reassure investors about fund safety in the wake of FTX’s 2022 collapse. Last February, U.S. authorities fined Binance more than $4.3 billion penalty for violating federal anti-money laundering and sanctions laws through lapses in internal controls at the company, while its founder and chief executive Changpeng Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison. - Reuters
CYBERJAYA: ASEAN has shown decisive action under Malaysia’s leadership, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. He credited Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for mediating the Thailand-Cambodia border dispute, resulting in a ceasefire. Malaysia convened talks in Putrajaya to ease tensions between the neighbouring nations, Mohamad stated. An interim monitoring team will oversee the ceasefire implementation, backed by ASEAN’s collective support. Thailand and Cambodia have formally agreed to the ceasefire terms, marking a diplomatic milestone. On Myanmar, ASEAN pursued humanitarian engagement and proposed a permanent Special Envoy for crisis resolution. Mohamad emphasised restoring credibility to the Five-Point Consensus to aid Myanmar’s people. ASEAN’s evolution over 58 years sets a global standard for diversity in governance, he added. Malaysia views ASEAN as central to regional stability and sustainable development in Southeast Asia. The ASEAN Community Vision 2045 aims for a resilient and people-centred future, Mohamad noted. ASEAN’s founding in 1967 united five nations amid Cold War tensions, pioneering regional cooperation. The bloc emerged as a peacemaking experiment in a wartorn world, fostering minilateralism. ASEAN Day commemorates the signing of the Bangkok Declaration on August 8, 1967. The celebration was attended by ministers and senior officials, including Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. - Bernama

SHAH ALAM - UMNO dijangka akan mengalami keputusan yang lebih teruk dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-16 (PRU16) kerana keengganan parti itu untuk berubah dan masih dikongkong oleh orang-orang yang lama.Bekas Menteri Besar Selangor, Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo berkata, lebih mengecewakan apabila ramai pemimpin UMNO yang enggan bertanggungjawab walaupun parti mengalami kekalahan teruk dalam pilihan raya.Sedangkan katanya, beliau mengambil tanggungjawab dengan meletakkan jawatan apabila kalah pilihan raya pada tahun 2008, seterusnya memberi laluan kepada muka baharu"Ini menunjukkan bahawa jika UMNO ingin menjadi parti dominan, UMNO kena lakukan sesuatu yang drastik."Tapi pemimpin hari ini yang kalah pertandingan bahagian, pilihan raya pun tak nak letak jawatan. Jadi macam mana tenaga muda nak masuk dalam UMNO untuk membuat perubahan dan pemulihan parti?" katanya.Beliau berkata demikian semasa program Interviu yang bertajuk Dari UMNO ke Bersatu: Episod baharu Khir Toyo dalam politik Malaysia yang berlangsung di Kompleks Karangkraf.AKAN MENYUSUL
