CBS (CBS) and the analysts that cover it are under fire today after the company’s latest earnings call.

GM (GM) wants to get around President Trump’s tariffs on one of its most popular SUVs. The automaker has filed an official request with the Trump administration to exclude the Buick Envision from the tariffs. It’s made in China and accounts for about 19% of Buick’s sales in the US.

Microsoft (MSFT) is making a big bet on cybersecurity. Its venture fund just led a $6.2M fundraising round for Hyas, a tech startup that helps fight cyber criminals. The startup says it wants to help police pinpoint the location of the online bad guys so they can be arrested.
