Nov 21 (Reuters) - Intuit (INTU.O) , opens new tab projected second-quarter revenue and profit below market estimates on Thursday, hampered by sluggish demand for its financial management services and a planned change in the timing of its promotions. Shares of the Mountain View, California-based company were down nearly 7% in extended trading. The company's consumer group, which caters to individuals, is expected to see a single-digit revenue decline in the second quarter due to the delay in promotions for the desktop offering of TurboTax, its software widely used by Americans to file their taxes. Intuit said the delay only impacts revenue timing and reiterated its annual forecast for double-digit revenue growth. The company offers financial products, including personal finance portal Credit Karma, marketing platform Mailchimp and accounting software suite QuickBooks that help small businesses manage their finances. Its shares had declined 5.1% on Tuesday after a Washington Post report that President-elect Donald Trump’s government efficiency team was considering creating a free tax-filing app. "I am personally engaging with the incoming leaders and new administration," CEO Sasan Goodarzi told Reuters. "They're looking for an opportunity to make the tax code in general just simpler. And as we've always said, another free tax software is not going to make any impact because free (software) is already available to all Americans," he added. Intuit competes with firms such as H & R Block (HRB.N) , opens new tab , Oracle's (ORCL.N) , opens new tab NetSuite and Microsoft's (MSFT.O) , opens new tab Dynamics 365 Platform, which all offer similar financial services.

Dwayne Johnson has said fans should feel free to sing in the cinema, as he attended the UK premiere of Moana 2. "Especially if you love music, that's the fun part," the US star, aka The Rock, told BBC News on the red carpet. Auli'i Cravalho and Johnson are reprising their roles as the voices of Moana and Maui respectively in the film, a sequel to 2016's musical adventure. Recently, there has been a debate on social media around whether people should sing along in cinemas, sparked by the release of Wicked a few days ago. Some have argued fans should be able to express their enjoyment as they like, while others say singing ruins other people's experiences. Johnson, however, made his views on cinema etiquette clear. “Sing! You’ve paid your hard earned money for a ticket, and you've gone into a musical, and you’re into it. Sing," he said. The original film followed an adventurous Polynesian teenage girl who sets on a mission across the ocean to save her people. Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui three years later for a new voyage alongside a crew of “unlikely seafarers”, Disney has said. On Sunday evening, London's Leicester Square was transformed into a Polynesian island, complete with palm trees, a beach, and dancers. And, while the weather was distinctly untropical, scores of fans turned up hoping to catch a glimpse of Cravalho and Johnson. Cravalho, who was just 16 when she made her acting debut as Moana, has since starred in films including 2024's Mean Girls as well as appearing on stage. But she said she was still "so excited" to be returning to the role of Moana. “I think Moana is at the forefront of a conversation where the word princess and the word hero are now interchangeable," she told BBC News. "She is strong, she is brave, she is not afraid to grab a demigod by the ear. She looks strong as well, at the helm of her ship." Johnson, a 52-year-old ex-wrestler, voices the part of gregarious demigod Maui in the animation. When asked about the similarities between the two roles, he said there is a clear difference. “Maui [is] actually is a demigod," he said. "The difference is wrestlers think that they’re demigods, but they’re not. I know that because I was one of them," he said with a laugh. Johnson, who is also starring as Maui in the upcoming live-action Moana remake, said that his three daughters "love" seeing him take on the role. "Because they see themselves in Moana, they feel they’re represented and they feel a sense of representation from the film too," he said. Cravalho, meanwhile, said that when she was cast as Moana, she "never could have expected... just how impactful this character would be". "I knew it would change my life, but it seems to have also changed many other people’s lives as well," she said. "So sometimes when I meet kids who are at that really special age, I feel like Santa, where they look at me and say, 'You’re Moana!' And they believe it! And it warms my heart.” Many fans of the film, who were children when the original was released eight years ago, will now be teenagers or adults. Disney will therefore be hoping the film appeals both to the nostalgia audience as well as a new generation of children. But it faces tough competition, coming just days after Wicked was released. The original Moana made $687m (£540m) at the box office worldwide, and scored two Oscar nominations. It was the most streamed movie of 2023 in the US, according to Disney. A sequel was previously in development as a Disney+ series, but the company surprised fans in February when it revealed it would take the film to cinemas instead. Songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda - who was nominated for an Oscar for the original - has not returned to work on the music for the sequel. Instead, the songs have been created by four composers, including songwriting duo Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, who rose to fame in 2022 after creating an unofficial Bridgerton musical on TikTok. Moana 2 is in UK cinemas on 29 November.Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capitalIgor Shesterkin became the NHL's highest-paid goaltender when he and the New York Rangers agreed to an eight-year, $92 million extension on Friday, according to multiple reports . The announcement caps a busy day for the slumping Rangers, who earlier traded captain Jacob Trouba and his $8 million cap hit to the Anaheim Ducks . Shesterkin's new contract, which kicks in next season, was first reported by NHL Network's Kevin Weekes . Shesterkin's $11.5 million cap hit moves him past Carey Price ($10.5 million), who's on the injured list. The previous top pay among active goalies is Florida Panthers 2024 Stanley Cup winner Sergei Bobrovsky, who averages $10 million. Shesterkin, who reportedly earlier turned down an eight-year, $88 million deal, won the Vezina Trophy in 2021-22 in his first full season as a No. 1 goaltender. The 28-year-old ranks second in overall wins the last three-plus seasons (117) and took New York to the top regular-season record and the Eastern Conference final last season. All things Rangers: Latest New York Rangers news, schedule, roster, stats, injury updates and more. Though his numbers are down this season, the Rangers rely on him a lot. He has faced the third-most shots in the league and has played fewer games than the leaders. Shesterkin is in the final year of a four-year, $22.67 million contract. He's the latest goalie to get a significant raise this season. The Boston Bruins' Jeremy Swayman received an eight-year, $66 million contract before the season. Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger got the same figure in his extension, and Ottawa Senators goalie Linus Ullmark, acquired from the Bruins during the summer, has matched their $8.5 million cap hit.

(AP Photo/Matthieu Mirville) PARIS (AP) — Riot police played their part as Le Havre won 2-0 at Nantes on Sunday in a French league match interrupted and then restarted during second-half stoppage time after disgruntled home fans tried to get on the field. The police formed a line in front of one of the stands, which houses the main ultras group, called Brigade Loire. Referee Jérôme Brisard then led the players off, with only about three minutes remaining in stoppage time. After the Brigade Loire had left the Stade de La Beaujoire, the match was deemed safe to resume 35 minutes later, and the final three minutes were played in a somber atmosphere. The defeat dropped eight-time French champion Nantes into 16th place in the 18-team league. “Honestly we weren't expecting that. It's rare to experience this kind of thing, but you can understand things from a fan's point of view," Nantes striker Ignatius Ganago told match broadcaster DAZN. "We are not getting results. But it's also difficult for us, the players.” After Josué Casimir had scored in the third minute for Le Havre, the match was halted for a few minutes when tennis balls and toilet paper were thrown onto the pitch by some home fans, with Nantes players helping to clear the debris on the field. Forward Steve Ngoura doubled the lead in the 74th for Le Havre, which climbed above Rennes into 14th. In Sunday's late game, Nice rallied to beat midtable Strasbourg 2-1 and move up to fifth place. Striker Dilane Bakwa put the Alsace-based side ahead in the 20th, before defender Melvin Bard equalized in the 54th from midfielder Sofiane Diop's pass behind the defense. Diop's pass forced an own-goal from Abakar Sylla in the 62nd when trying to pass back to goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Nice is two points behind fourth-place Lille after 12 rounds. Zhegrova shines for Lille Edon Zhegrova continued his fine form with the only goal as Lille beat Rennes 1-0 to stay one point behind Marseille in third. The Kosovo winger started and finished the move in the 45th minute with one of his trademark darting runs from the right flank. Zhegrova combined with Rémy Cabella and striker Jonathan David before firing past veteran goalkeeper Steve Mandanda with his left foot. It was his fourth league goal of the season and he is well set to beat his mark of six from the last campaign. The 25-year-old Zhegrova made similar attacking runs when Lille drew 1-1 with Juventus in the Champions League three weeks ago, providing a superb assist for David's goal. He thought he had set David up for a goal against Rennes in the 57th, after again breaking free down the right, but the effort was ruled out for a narrow offside. Zhegrova clutched his left groin near the end and was given an ovation by the home fans when he went off. Rennes is in 15th place. That really socks Struggling Rennes recently appointed Jorge Sampaoli as coach after firing Julien Stéphan. Sampaoli has become famed within soccer for his short temper. The 64-year-old Argentine was irate when Rennes defener Mikayil Faye had to change his socks before coming on as a replacement for the injured Alidu Seidu early in the first half. Faye did not have the correct socks on and, with Sampaoli shouting at him, had to sit down on the side of the pitch and slip the right ones on. Also Sunday, midfielder Hamed Traorè scored three minutes into stoppage time as seventh-place Auxerre won 1-0 against lowly Angers. PSG beat Toulouse 3-0 on Friday and Marseille won 3-1 at Lens on Saturday. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Jerome Pugmire, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake? Have a story/tip?
