Global Corporate Pulse: Renewable Wins, Retail Results, and Automation Shifts
As global markets navigate the post-festival season, a mix of positive corporate developments and macro concerns are shaping sentiment. Renewable energy, retail earnings, and automation dominated headlines — alongside renewed debt worries emerging from China. Let’s look at how these stories are influencing investor confidence and global equity positioning.
Oriana Power Secures Major Solar Project
Oriana Power announced a significant milestone, receiving a Letter of Award (LOA) from SJVN Ltd for a 50 MW (AC) Grid-Interactive Solar PV Project in Gujarat under the GUVNL Phase XXII program.
| Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Contract Value | ₹217.45 Cr (excl. GST) |
| Scope | Land acquisition, design, engineering, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning & 3-year O&M |
| Timeline | 560 days |
This contract strengthens Oriana’s renewable portfolio and underlines the rising pace of India’s solar energy transition.
Meanwhile, the broader renewable sector continues to attract FII attention, given India’s push toward its 500 GW non-fossil fuel target by 2030. Policy consistency and improved project financing are expected to boost clean energy valuations in the coming quarters.
Adidas and L’Oreal Q3 Results: Mixed But Resilient
Adidas posted preliminary Q3 results showing solid margin improvement despite soft top-line numbers. Operating profit rose to EUR736M versus estimates of EUR687.8M, with an operating margin of 11.1% compared to 9.3% last year. Full-year operating profit guidance has been raised to EUR2.0B, reflecting better cost control and product mix recovery.
L’Oreal reported Q3 sales of EUR10.33B (est. EUR10.44B), with like-for-like growth of +4.2%. North Asia’s performance remained strong at +4.7%, offsetting a softer North America. The beauty giant continues to see premium skincare and e-commerce as key growth levers for FY26.

Amazon’s Automation Revolution
Amazon is advancing toward a highly automated logistics network, planning to achieve 75% automation by 2033. This shift could replace nearly 600,000 U.S. jobs, including 160,000 roles as early as 2027. The company expects to save $12.6B between 2025–2027 and reduce logistics costs by $0.30 per item.
While automation boosts efficiency and margins, it raises questions about employment and regulatory scrutiny. Amazon’s move underscores a broader global trend toward AI-driven productivity — an area that may soon define corporate competitiveness.
China’s Debt Dilemma
China’s economic fragility resurfaced as data showed its total debt-to-GDP ratio soaring to a record 336% in Q2 2025 — the highest in its history. With local governments, property developers, and SOEs deeply leveraged, analysts warn that China’s “debt time bomb” could weigh on global growth and commodity demand.
Meanwhile, Beijing continues to prioritize stability through state bank support, targeted infrastructure spending, and export incentives. However, investors remain cautious amid slower manufacturing recovery and weakening domestic consumption.
Elsewhere, geopolitical developments remain dynamic — with the EU and China agreeing to hold an export-control dialogue in Brussels, signaling a possible thaw in trade tensions.
