A judge in New York ruled on Wednesday that Danone must face a lawsuit challenging its "carbon neutral" claim on bottles of Evian spring water.

French food-manufacturing multinational Danone (OTCQX:DANOY) has announced a 7% reduction in the wholesale price of its powdered Aptamil baby formula products following an investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into high formula prices.

Global shipping firms—including Denmark's AP Møller-Maersk and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd—have paused and rerouted operations in the Red Sea due to risks of attacks by Yemen's rebel Houthi group, leading some companies to warn of shortages and delays as they seek alternative trading routes.

Danone's stock trajectory has been mostly downward over the past five years despite some gains in the last year.

While the company has not provided a positive experience for investors, I believe a turnaround may be in the future, and the upside is there. I view Danone as an attractive investment with an upside potential, even if the yield of below 4% might make it less than ideal for many investors given the rate environment.
