- Rolls-Royce shares rise as much as 12%, hitting a record high, after the aero engine maker increased guidance for the year by more than analysts expected. Strong margin performances in the civil aerospace and power systems divisions drew particular attention.
- AB InBev shares dropped the most in five years after the company sold less beer than expected during the second quarter, with a downturn in consumer spending in Brazil and China dragging on sales.
