Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Dish Network stock has rallied by about 11% over the last five trading days and also remains up by about 6% over the last month (21 trading days). While the broader markets have rallied over the last month, there are a couple of factors that have likely helped Dish stock. Firstly, Dish’s Q2 2022 earnings were slightly better than expected although the company lost 257,000 pay-TV subscribers and about 210,000 wireless subscribers. Dish is also making progress toward launching its new nationwide wireless service, Boost Infinite, as it started accepting customer sign-ups last week, with a launch slated for Q4. This means that Dish should finally be able to better monetize its 5G network, which it has been building out for some time now. Moreover, investors have also been buying into beaten down value stocks and this has also likely helped Dish stock, which remains down by 41% year-to-date and currently trades at under 8x projected … [Read more...] about Is Dish Stock Poised To Gain After Its Earnings Beat?

Is Netflix envy over in Hollywood? Not quite
The logos of Disney+, Netflix, HBOMax and CBS in this combination photo from Reuters files. REUTERS/File Photo Over an earnings period that appeared to signal the end of Netflix envy, Walt Disney Co restored hopes that growth in the streaming business will continue. But Disney, which edged past Netflix as streaming leader by global subscribers last quarter, is the outlier among its media peers. The industry-wide scramble of the last few years to copy Netflix Inc has slowed to a more deliberate pace over the last two weeks, as companies change their tune on the streaming business. Rather than placing streaming at the center of their strategy, it is now just one of several lines of business. “We effectively have four or five or six cash registers,” Warner Bros Discovery’s CEO, David Zaslav, told analysts last week. “And in a world where things are changing and there’s a lot of uncertainty … that’s a lot more stable and a lot better than having one cash register.” In recent … [Read more...] about Is Netflix envy over in Hollywood?

Amazon joins deal revival spurred by lower valuation
(Image Courtesy: Reuters) There’s no relaxing on the beach this summer for corporate acquirers -- they’ve been busy snapping up technology companies, even after a stock rally over the past two months means the sector isn’t as cheap as it was back in June. Just look at Amazon.com Inc. The retail and cloud-storage giant announced a $3.49 billion deal to buy software company 1Life Healthcare Inc. last month, and last week it said it would pay $1.65 billion for iRobot Corp., maker of the Roomba vacuum. Just 10 days into August, about $13.4 billion of tech-related mergers and acquisitions have been unveiled in North America, according to Bloomberg data, which already would make it the busiest month since May. In the largest deal, buyout firm Vista Equity Partners agreed to buy tax software provider Avalara Inc. for $8.4 billion including debt. “August has historically been a quiet month for M&A, so it is surprising to see such a flurry of deals,” said Larry Feldman, a … [Read more...] about Amazon joins deal revival spurred by lower valuation

Beat the heat Korean-style with a bubbling bowl of samgyetang
Bibigo's meal kit samgyetang [CJ CHEILJEDANG] There is a Korean proverb that says even a tiny grain of sticky rice on the lips feels heavy during the dog days of summer. As temperatures shoot above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) and the humid, steamy Korean heat begins yet again, even just stepping outside, or, yes, having a grain of rice stuck on your face, can be irksome, and many can’t help but feel the weight of the weather. For the country’s ancestors who had to endure such heat without the virtues of modern technology, they fought it off with an even hotter soup: samgyetang , otherwise called Korean chicken ginseng soup. The locals’ belief of i yeol chi yeol , or “fighting fire with fire,” is still very relevant today as samgyetang eateries in Seoul fill up even on the hottest days with people of all ages, breaking a sweat as they wolf down the chicken soup with the hope of reinvigorating themselves. A typical samgyetang dish consists of one whole … [Read more...] about Beat the heat Korean-style with a bubbling bowl of samgyetang
The 5 Best New Restaurants And Bars In Charlotte, North Carolina
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin After spending years hiding in the shadows of Charleston, Nashville, and Atlanta, the Queen City has quietly emerged as a vibrant Southern culinary destination worth paying attention to. Because so many people relocated to the area during the pandemic – making it one of the fastest-growing U.S. metropolises – the local community has never been more diverse, creative, or hungry for original, independently-owned spots to eat and drink. “As Charlotte grows, it’s entering a second renaissance where the people want to experience something unique that can only be found here,” says Kerrel Thompson, who co-owns Optimist Park’s Bird Pizzeria with his wife Nkem. “There are so many restaurants opening every week.” So below, 5 new and noteworthy restaurants and bars you can’t miss during your next visit to Charlotte.

Meme-stock frenzy returns, baffling Wall Street’s ‘smart guys’
Shopping carts outside a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S., on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is scheduled to release earnings figures on January 7. Retail traders who lurk in forums like Reddit’s WallStreetBets are back to betting against Wall Street pros and the Federal Reserve as rallies for meme stocks like Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. show shades of last year’s mania. The home-good retailer nearly tripled at one point during its nine-day winning streak while the movie-theater firm capped a 65% rally of its own as speculative pockets of the stock market surge. The pair have powered a basket of 37 meme stocks tracked by Bloomberg higher by 10% over the past week while the most-hated stocks tracked by a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. basket is up roughly 17% over the same period. The resurgence of more speculative areas of the market is likely fueled in part by individual traders willingness to jump … [Read more...] about Meme-stock frenzy returns, baffling Wall Street’s ‘smart guys’
