South Korean company Samsung Electronics is in the spotlight following recent announcements about potential strategic deals aimed at regaining its competitive edge in the technology market. This decision comes in response to serious challenges characterized by declining profits and falling stock prices, which the company has faced in recent quarters.

Japan Post Holdings Co Ltd $6178.T is preparing to sell a portion of its shares in Japan Post Bank Co Ltd $7182.T worth approximately 600 billion yen (about $4.02 billion). This strategic move marks a significant step in loosening ties between the two entities. As part of Japan's ongoing corporate governance reforms, the company intends to reduce its ownership stake to below 50%, paving the way for greater autonomy for the bank.
