UPDATE 2-Private equity firms consider potential Peloton buyout, CNBC reports
09:23:37 AM ET, 05/07/2024 - Reuters
(Updates shares, adds Peloton comment, adds background)
May 7 (Reuters) - A number of private equity firms have been considering a buyout of Peloton as the connected fitness company looks to refinance its debt and return to growth after 13 straight quarters of losses, CNBC reported on Tuesday.
Shares of the fitness equipment maker rose 20.6% in premarket trading.
The New York-based company has had talks with at least one firm in recent months as it considers going private, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
"We do not comment on speculation or rumors," a Peloton spokesperson said when contacted for comment on the report.
Last week, Peloton CEO Barry McCarthy quit and the company announced job cuts to reduce costs after posting weak results.
Dwindling demand for its stationary bikes and treadmills despite price cuts led to Peloton reporting a smaller-than-expected revenue for the third quarter and trimming its full-year forecast.
A number of other private equity firms have been circling Peloton as an acquisition target, but it's unclear if they have held formal discussions, the report added.

Apple, Rivian Reportedly In Talks For Partnership
ED CARSON08:01 AM ET 05/07/2024
https://www.investors.com/news/apple-rivian-in-talks-for-partnership/?src=A00220
Apple (AAPL) is in talks with EV maker Rivian (RIVN) about a possible partnership, DigiTimes reported Monday night. Rivian stock jumped while Apple edged higher.
Taiwan-based Digitimes cited supply chain sources. But it's unclear what any such alliance would entail. Apple canceled its long-running "Project Titan" Apple Car in late February.
It's unclear if there are actual talks. Even if true, talks needn't amount to anything.
Apple is holding a "Let Loose" event on Tuesday morning that is expected to focus on new iPads.
Rivian reports first-quarter earnings Tuesday night.
Apple, Rivian Stock
Apple stock rose a fraction early Tuesday after dipping 0.9% to 181.71 in Monday's trading. Shares gapped up 6% on Friday following better-than-expected quarterly earnings and a $110 billion buyback.
Rivian stock jumped 8% in premarket trading, signaling a move above its 50-day line. Shares rose 2.6% on Monday to 10.33. RIVN hit a record low last month.
Rivian had a market cap of just $10.1 billion as of Monday's close.

Palantir Technologies Likely to Report Strong Q1, Wedbush Says
12:04:05 PM ET, 05/06/2024 - MT Newswires
12:04 PM EDT, 05/06/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Palantir Technologies (PLTR) is likely to report another strong Q1 quarter Monday, fueled by US commercial success, Wedbush said in a note.
"The big focus tonight will be hearing about AIP customer conversion, US commercial strength momentum, and the trajectory of
larger deals in the pipeline," Wedbush analysts, including Daniel Ives, said. AIP refers to Artificial Intelligence Platform.
Customers continue to discover new use cases with Palantir's AIP, presenting cross-selling opportunities, the analysts said.
"We believe Palantir is on the golden path for its monetization story on the commercial side and is well-positioned to capitalize on the strong commercial spending tailwinds for 2024/2025," they said.
"As we have discussed this story, growth, and ultimate re-rating is around Palantir's US commercial business which is estimated to show growth of at least 40% in 2024," the analysts added.
Wedbush maintained its outperform rating with a 12-month price target of $35.
Rivian receives $827 mln in incentives to expand Illinois facility, shares jump
15:27:03 PM ET, 05/02/2024 - Reuters
May 2 (Reuters) - Rivian Automotive said on Thursday it has received $827 million in an incentive package from the State of Illinois to expand operations at its Normal facility.
The Irvine, California-based company's shares rose nearly 10% in afternoon trade after having lost more than 60% of their value this year, as of Wednesday's close.
The Illinois plant, where Rivian also makes its electric delivery vans for its largest investor, Amazon.com, can produce 150,000 vehicles a year, the company said.\
Rivian will be producing its less-expensive midsize SUV R2 model, unveiled in March and will take on Tesla's Model Y, at the plant
With the addition of the R2, Rivian expects a total annual capacity of 215,000 vehicles.
The company said the funds from the state of Illinois would be spent on expanding the plant, improving public infrastructure and job training programs for its workforce.
The incentive package would add to Rivian's balance of cash and cash equivalents of $7.86 billion at end of last year.
Earlier this year, Rivian had said it expects to spend about $1.75 billion in capital expenditures in 2024, driven by additional investment in a second facility just outside of Atlanta, Georgia facility, but it has since paused construction of the plant.
Construction would resume later in Georgia as that site "remains an extremely important part of its long-term strategy," Rivian said.
Rivian, which is set to report first-quarter results next week, raised more than $3 billion with two bond issuances last year, but some analysts and investors say it will need additional capital by 2026. (Reporting by Akash Sriram in Bengaluru; Editing by Shilpi Majumdar and Tasim Zahid)

Block expected to post blowout Q1 earnings on back of strong outlook
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/block-expected-to-post-blowout-q1-earnings-on-back-of-strong-outlook/ar-AA1nZPoP?ocid=BingNewsSerp
Block (NYSE:SQ), the Square and Cash App parent company, is expected to record an increase in both earnings and revenue when it reports first-quarter 2024 results on Wednesday after market close.
The average sell-side analyst sees Q1 adjusted EPS jumping to $0.73 from $0.46 in the previous quarter and $0.40 in the year-earlier period. Total net revenue, too, is forecast to advance to $5.82B from $5.77B in Q4 2023 and $4.99B in Q1 2023.
Jefferies analyst Trevor Williams is calling for another consensus beat on gross profit and EBITDA, though “we see less potential for a major [positive] surprise.
“Despite that, we expect this qtr. to further underscore SQ’s new era of focus and efficiency (faster product velocity on slower expenses growth) and see plenty that can support the bull case for sustainable mid-teens+ growth,” he wrote in a note to clients Monday.
In February, investors bid up the SQ greatly after the payment and fintech app company said it plans to grow its business by getting Cash App users to bank with it, moving up market to service families, and building the next-generation social bank. That announcement was accompanied by an increase in Block’s (SQ) full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance to above Wall Street expectations.
“For the full year, management issued an ‘at least’ guide, meaning Block could very likely produce far better results than its guidance,” said SA analyst Riyado Sofian. Even if Block (SQ) doesn’t outpace expectations and easily top its guidance, as Sofian believes will be the case, it “still has a long growth runway ahead as Square and Cash App combined have less than 5% market penetration today, with over $205B of Gross Profit opportunity up for grabs.”
Block (SQ) has a solid track record in exceeding earnings expectations, with eight of the last twelve quarterly earnings coming in above consensus. Wall Street has been quite bullish on the profit outlook, with 20 upward EPS revisions over the last three months, compared with just four downward revisions. The revenue outlook was a little more iffy (13 upward revisions vs. eight downward revisions).
Bank of America contended in a recent note that a positive catalyst could include in-line gross profit, with 2024 guidance reiterated, and some EBITDA upside, when SQ discloses Q1 results Wednesday.
Separately, shares of Oakland, California-based Block (SQ) dropped 9.2% in Tuesday midafternoon trading at least partly amid a report that federal prosecutors are examining financial transactions at the company
Market Chatter: Block Under Probe for Alleged Compliance Malpractices
10:46:23 AM ET, 05/01/2024 - MT Newswires
10:46 AM EDT, 05/01/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Block (SQ) is said to be under probe for alleged compliance lapses at its Square and Cash App units, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
NBC said prosecutors from the Southern District of New York are looking into the company's documents and internal practices after a former employee disclosed certain malpractices within the group. According to the former employee, Block collected insufficient information for Square and Cash App customers' risk assessment, Square processed thousands of transactions involving countries with economic sanctions, and Block processed cryptocurrency transactions for terrorist groups.
The former employee provided about 100 pages of supporting documents to NBC and said Block did not correct the processes when informed of the transactions, the report added. NBC said a second source familiar with the company's practices and monitoring programs backed the former employee's allegations.
According to NBC, a Block spokeswoman said the company voluntarily reported the transactions described by the former employee to the Office of Foreign Assets Control under the US Treasury and that the company maintains a "responsible and extensive compliance program."
Block did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

PayPal lifts 2024 profit forecast as spending stays resilient, margins improve
07:39:14 AM ET, 04/30/2024 - Reuters
(Adds shares in paragraph 2)
April 30 (Reuters) - PayPal raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast on Tuesday, as the payments giant benefited from robust consumer spending, while measures to cut costs improved operating margins in the first quarter.
Shares of the company were last up 4% in volatile premarket trading after the results.
Consumer spending has shown remarkable resilience even as economic worries clouded the outlook for the payments sector for months. Though lower-income brackets have curbed discretionary purchases, most Americans are still looking to shop online, dine-out and travel.
PayPal's newly appointed management is also aiming to reignite investor confidence through efforts to make the company leaner and lower costs to ease pressure on its stock, which was among the worst performers on the Nasdaq last year.
Earlier this year, PayPal had announced plans to cut about 2,500 jobs, or 9% of its global workforce.
"2024 remains a transition year and we are focused on execution — driving our key strategic initiatives, realizing cost-savings and reinvesting appropriately," said CEO Alex Chriss.
The company expects 2024 adjusted profit to increase by "mid-to-high single-digit percentage", compared with its earlier forecast of it remaining flat.
PayPal also expects second-quarter revenue to grow 7% on FX-neutral basis, largely in line with Wall Street expectations.
Total payment volumes increased 14% to $403.9 billion in the first quarter, while net revenue climbed 10% to $7.7 billion on a currency-neutral basis.
PayPal's operating margins improved 84 basis points, on an adjusted basis, to 18.2% in the first quarter. Its margins have been central to investor anxieties over the last year as growth slowed post-pandemic.
The company's low-margin business products have risen strongly, while growth in its branded products slowed due to increased pressure from competitors such as Apple.
Its adjusted earnings per share rose to $1.08 in the three months ended March 31, compared with 85 cents a year ago. (Reporting by Manya Saini and Jaiveer Singh Shekhawat in Bengaluru; Editing by Shilpi Majumdar)

On April 29, 2024, Transocean Ltd (NYSE:RIG) disclosed its financial results for the first quarter of 2024 through an 8-K filing. The company reported a net income of $98 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, a significant improvement from a net loss of $104 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the previous quarter. This performance notably exceeded the analysts' estimated earnings per share of -$0.14.
About Transocean Ltd
Transocean Ltd is a leading international provider of offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells, specializing in technically demanding sectors of the global offshore drilling business, particularly ultra-deepwater and harsh environment drilling services. The company operates the highest specification floating offshore drilling fleet globally and is known for its advanced capabilities in deepwater exploration.
Financial Performance Overview
The first quarter saw Transocean generate contract drilling revenues of $763 million, up from $741 million in the previous quarter, driven by increased rig activity and higher day rates. This figure surpassed the analysts' revenue estimate of $787.04 million for the quarter. The company's revenue efficiency, however, declined to 92.9% from 97.0%, mainly due to operational downtime on the Deepwater Titan.
Operating and maintenance expenses decreased to $523 million from $569 million, reflecting cost efficiencies and reduced expenses on idle rigs. Adjusted EBITDA was reported at $199 million, up from $122 million in the prior quarter, resulting in an improved EBITDA margin of 26.0%.
Challenges and Strategic Adjustments
Despite the positive revenue and income figures, Transocean faced challenges including unscheduled downtime on the Deepwater Titan due to blowout preventer issues. The company also navigated a complex tax environment, with an effective tax rate of 206.0%, significantly higher than the previous period, primarily due to deferred tax adjustments related to rig movements and contract changes.
Strategic Highlights and Future Outlook
CEO Jeremy Thigpen highlighted several strategic achievements in the quarter, including a significant contract extension and a $1.8 billion debt refinancing transaction aimed at improving liquidity and simplifying the balance sheet. Looking forward, Thigpen expressed optimism about the demand outlook for deepwater drilling and the company's focus on securing long-term contracts.
"Looking ahead, we remain encouraged by the demand outlook and expect to see numerous long-term contracts awarded over the next several months. As we work to secure those contracts, we will remain acutely focused on operational execution across our fleet, as we endeavor to maximize the conversion of our industry-leading backlog to cash."
Financial Position and Liquidity
Transocean reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $446 million from $762 million at the end of the previous quarter. The company's total debt stood at $7,265 million, slightly down from $7,413 million. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $83 million, primarily related to the construction of the newbuild ultra-deepwater drillship Deepwater Aquila.
Conclusion
Transocean's first quarter of 2024 reflects a robust operational and financial performance amidst challenging market conditions. With strategic initiatives in place to enhance its fleet's capabilities and financial flexibility, Transocean is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for high-specification floaters in the offshore drilling market.

PayPal Earnings Pop 27% Under New Reporting Method. PayPal Stock Is Set To Break Out.
FacebookTwitterLinkedInShare Licensing
REINHARDT KRAUSE08:05 AM ET 04/30/2024
PayPal Holdings (PYPL) early Tuesday reported first-quarter earnings that rose 27% from a year earlier under a new accounting methodology while revenue and total payment volume for PayPal stock topped views. PYPL stock rose on the news, signaling a move past a buy point.
The digital payments firm reported earnings before the market open, not after the close as usual.
The new accounting includes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes. PayPal said it has recast adjusted financial results for 2023, 2022 and 2021 to reflect the accounting change.
PayPal earnings for the March quarter rose 27% to $1.08 per share on an adjusted basis. Revenue climbed 9% to $7.7 billion.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected PayPal earnings of $1.22 a share on revenue of $7.515 billion. A year earlier, PayPal earned $1.17 a share on sales of $7.04 billion.
Payment Volume Beats
Total payment volume processed from merchant customers in the quarter climbed 14% to $403.9 billion. Analysts had projected total payment volume of $393.64 billion.
New CEO Alex Chriss took the helm in late September. Also, PayPal has named a new chief financial officer: Jamie Miller, formerly CFO at consultancy EY.
San Jose, Calif.-based PayPal has evolved from an online checkout site to a mobile shopping and person-to-person payments site. Meanwhile, competition has heated up with Apple (AAPL), Square-parent Block (SQ) and others.
PayPal Stock 2024 Guidance
On the stock market today, PayPal stock popped 8.2% to 72.50 in early trading. That's set to clear a 68.21 buy point from a consolidation going back three months.
PayPal also updated 2024 guidance. The company forecast adjusted EPS growth of "mid to high single-digit percentage" from $3.83 in the prior year based on the new reporting method. The 2024 guidance includes Q1 restructuring charges of $175 million and an estimated $70 million to $90 million in Q2.
Heading into the PayPal earnings report, shares were up 9% in 2024 but down 12% over the past year.
SQ stock rose slightly, nearing its 50-day line. Square-parent Block is set to report on Thursday.
PayPal said it announced plans to change accounting methods on Feb. 7
Transocean Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
April 29 2024 - 5:24PM
Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) today reported a net income attributable to controlling interest of $98 million, $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
First quarter results included net favorable items of $120 million, $0.14 per diluted share, primarily due to $121 million discrete tax items, net.
After consideration of these net favorable items, first quarter 2024 adjusted net loss was $22 million, $0.03 per diluted share.
Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased sequentially by $22 million to $763 million, primarily due to increased activity for rigs that returned to work or were fully active this quarter after undergoing contract preparation, higher dayrate and higher reimbursable revenue. This was partially offset by lower revenue efficiency across the fleet, particularly on Deepwater Titan which experienced significant unscheduled downtime related to its blowout preventer, and one less day in the quarter. Deepwater Titan has since resumed dayrate operations.
Contract intangible amortization represented a non-cash revenue reduction of $4 million, compared to $7 million in the prior quarter. The contract intangible assets are now fully amortized.
Operating and maintenance expense was $523 million, compared with $569 million in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to cost savings on rigs that were idle in the first quarter, reduced contract preparation expenses, and lower in-service maintenance cost on the operating fleet. This was partially offset by higher reimbursed expenses.
After consideration of the favorable adjustment of $10 million and $145 million in the first and fourth quarter, respectively, for the fair value of the bifurcated exchange feature related to the 4.625% exchangeable bonds, interest expense net of capitalized amounts was $127 million, compared to $142 million in the prior period. Interest income was $15 million, compared to $10 million in the previous quarter.
The Effective Tax Rate(2) was 206.0%, up from (25.0)% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to changes in deferred taxes related to rig ownership changes, rig movement and contract expirations across multiple jurisdictions. The Effective Tax Rate excluding discrete items was 76.9% compared to (30.0)% in the previous quarter.
Cash used in operating activities was $86 million during the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of $184 million compared to cash provided by operations in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to increased payments that regularly occur in the first quarter of each year for payroll-related costs and interest expense.
First quarter 2024 capital expenditures of $83 million were primarily associated with the newbuild ultra-deepwater drillship Deepwater Aquila. This compares with $220 million in the prior quarter.
“Over the first months of 2024, Transocean has achieved some fairly significant milestones. First, we secured a 365-day extension on Deepwater Asgard at a rate of $505,000 per day, once again demonstrating the sustained tightness in the high-specification floater market as well as Transocean’s ability to command industry-leading dayrates,” said Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Thigpen. “Additionally, earlier this month we finalized a $1.8 billion debt refinancing transaction, enabling us to improve near-term liquidity and start the process of simplifying our balance sheet. We also completed the extension of our revolving credit facility to mid-2028, further enhancing our financial flexibility.”
Thigpen concluded, “Looking ahead, we remain encouraged by the demand outlook and expect to see numerous long-term contracts awarded over the next several months. As we work to secure those contracts, we will remain acutely focused on operational execution across our fleet, as we endeavor to maximize the conversion of our industry-leading backlog to cash.”

Susquehanna remains bullish on Roku long-term despite shares PT decrease
https://au.investing.com/news/company-news/susquehanna-remains-bullish-on-roku-longterm-despite-shares-pt-decrease-93CH-3222876
Published 29/04/2024, 10:24 pm
On Monday, Susquehanna maintained a Positive rating on Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ROKU) but lowered the price target to $80 from the previous $110.
The adjustment follows Roku's first-quarter earnings, which surpassed expectations in terms of revenue and profitability. Despite a generally fine outlook for the second quarter, the company faces challenges such as tougher comparisons and the impact of 606 accounting on platform revenue growth.
Roku's first-quarter performance indicated solid results, and while the second-quarter projections are generally positive, certain factors are expected to affect platform revenue growth. The company anticipates that platform growth will stabilize or potentially improve in the second half of the year. Seasonal increases in spending are forecasted to moderate EBITDA in the latter half, specifically impacting the sales and marketing line for devices.
Susquehanna's report suggests that Roku's journey may require time to fully develop, but the firm remains optimistic about the company's trajectory. Roku is seen as taking appropriate steps to strengthen its position and capitalize on the expansive connected TV (CTV) advertising market. The report indicates a belief that Roku is among the best-equipped companies to seize this significant opportunity in the advertising space.
In summary, while Roku is navigating through some complexities in the short term, the long-term perspective held by Susquehanna remains bullish. The lowered price target reflects immediate challenges but does not diminish the firm's confidence in Roku's strategic moves and its potential in the growing CTV advertising sector.
Tesla's 'watershed' moment in China helps lift Chinese electric vehicle stocks
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/tesla-s-watershed-moment-in-china-helps-lift-chinese-electric-vehicle-stocks
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) ripped a 9.16% gain in premarket action to trade at its highest level since March 1. Elon Musk's weekend visit to China and reports that the company will partner with Baidu (BIDU) on mapping data collection have sparked the rally.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said the long awaited FSD approval in China could be a watershed moment for Tesla (TSLA).
"While the long term valuation story at Tesla hinges on FSD and autonomous, a key missing piece in that puzzle is Tesla making FSD available in China which is now a done deal. We note Tesla has stored all data collected by its Chinese fleet in Shanghai since 2021 as required by regulators in Beijing," highlighted Ives.
Ives said the next pivotal step would be if Elon Musk is able to obtain approval from Beijing to transfer data collected in China abroad. That approval could accelerate of training of algorithms for Tesla's (TSLA) autonomous technology globally. "We also believe this trip will be significant for Tesla and Musk, further strengthening its EV footprint within the Chinese market at a pivotal time," added Ives.
Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio (NIO) rose 4.23% in premarket trading, while Li Auto (LI) gained 4.43%. XPeng (XPEV) was up 1.69% in the early session. BYD Company (OTCPK:BYDDF) was also higher in Hong Kong trading. The Chinese EV sector may be taking the Tesla (TSLA) developments as a positive sign that the U.S. and China can work together in the EV space.
Tesla shares surge as Elon Musk returns from China with FSD 'Game Changer'
Martin Baccardax
Mon, Apr 29, 2024, 5:42 AM MDT3 min read
Tesla (TSLA) shares powered higher Monday after the electric-car maker won a key endorsement for the rollout of its driver-assistance technologies in China following Chief Executive Elon Musk's surprise weekend visit to Beijing.
Musk is looking to use Tesla's driver-assistance technology, which it calls Full Self-Driving (FSD), as both a key plank in its longer-term growth story and an offset to slumping electric vehicle sales in key markets worldwide.
The world's second-richest man traveled to Beijing on Sunday as part of an unannounced visit that included a face-to-face meeting with Premier Li Qiang as he looks to persuade officials to both allow the rollout of FSD technologies in the world's biggest car market and potentially export the data it collects into Tesla's nascent AI-powered data centers.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) provided a key component of the first of Musk's ambitions by endorsing Tesla, along with scores of other domestic carmakers, as being compliant with China's data-security rules.
Multiple media reports also suggest Tesla was able to cut a deal with tech giant Baidu (BIDU) , often referred to as the Google of China, to support some of the mapping and navigation functions of its FSD technologies.
The endorsement from the China auto association marks a significant milestone in Tesla's FSD efforts in China, where sales have fallen to multiyear lows amid intense competition from low-cost rivals and amid the broader EV demand slump.
FSD approval is first step to autonomy
Tesla, which has around 1.7 million of its cars on the road in China, launched its FSD software around four years ago but was forced to limit some of its functioning owing in part to the country's data-collection rules.
However, Tesla likely also needs permission from Beijing to transfer data collected by its FSD software to its AI supercomputers in the U.S. in order to truly launch an autonomous driving option.
(Tesla's FSD technology does not render cars fully autonomous. The company urges drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel, maintain strict attention to the road and be prepared to take corrective action as necessary.)
Musk has long argued that Tesla is not just a carmaker but rather is a collective of tech-focused startups. He sees these divisions as pivotal to his broader ambition of a creating a world packed with self-driving cars powered by his company's AI-led technologies.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas has said Tesla's DoJo supercomputer, which is powered by AI technologies, could add more than $500 million to Tesla's market value "through a faster adoption rate in mobility (robotaxis) and network services (software as a service)" over the coming years.
"If Musk is able to obtain approval from Beijing to transfer data collected in China abroad, this would be a 'game changer' around the acceleration of training its algorithms for its autonomous technology globally," said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, who carries an outperform rating and a $275 price target on the stock.
"While demand challenges exist in China for Tesla, [Wall Street] is looking through this painful transition period for the long-term growth story to emerge for Musk & Co., with FSD a key ingredient in that recipe for success," he added.
Tesla shares were marked 10.5% higher in premarket trading to indicate an opening bell price of $185.93 each, the highest since early March.
Cathie Wood’s recent Tesla stock buys pay off
Famed money manager Cathie Wood is an unabashed admirer of Musk and his goal for a transformation to clean-energy cars from internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles.
Earlier this month, she reiterated her $2,000 forecast for Tesla shares (they traded at $166 on April 25). She initiated that goal a year earlier. So, it’s no surprise that Tesla is the biggest holding in Wood’s flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) .
She regularly buys Tesla stock when it’s falling and picked up a combined 151,982 on April 19 and April 22. That bloc was worth $21.6 million as of the April 22 close, the day before the earnings report.
The stock’s ascent since then has lifted Ark Innovation’s Tesla holding by almost $100 million to $694.9 million as of the April 24 close. That’s quite a killing in only two days.
NHTSA closes Tesla deadly autopilot probe, opens new investigation over fixes
12:13:00 PM ET, 04/26/2024 - United Press International
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed an investigation into the Autopilot feature on certain Tesla models, while at the same time opening a new probe into the car maker's fix of the problem.
In a news release issued Friday, the administration's Office of Defects Investigation concluded more than a dozen fatal crashes involving Tesla vehicles were the fault of the driver incorrectly using settings, and not exclusively Autopilot.
The ODI identified at least 13 crashes involving one or more fatalities "in which foreseeable driver misuse of the system played an apparent role," the NHTSA said in the statement.
In December, Tesla announced a recall affecting around 2 million of its cars over crash risks related to their autopilot controls.
A month prior, a jury in California found the company was not responsible for a 2019 crash that killed a Model 3 owner and seriously injured two passengers.
The new NHTSA investigation announced Friday will now look at whether or not the fixes implemented by the Texas-based electric vehicle adequately addressed the issue.
"Following deployment of the remedy in (Tesla) Recall 23V838, ODI identified concerns due to post-remedy crash events and results from preliminary NHTSA tests of remedied vehicles," the administration said in the statement Friday.
"Also, Tesla has stated that a portion of the remedy both requires the owner to opt in and allows a driver to readily reverse it. Tesla has also deployed non-remedy updates to address issues that appear related to ODI's concerns under [a recall]. This investigation will consider why these updates were not a part of the recall or otherwise determined to remedy a defect that poses an unreasonable safety risk."
One of the fixes announced by Tesla at the time was to restrict some of the Autopilot features.
Evidence discovered during the previous investigation discovered "Tesla's weak driver engagement system was not appropriate for Autopilot's permissive operating capabilities," the ODI said in documents released Friday.
"This mismatch resulted in a critical safety gap between drivers' expectations of [Autopilot's] operating capabilities and the system's true capabilities. This gap led to foreseeable misuse and avoidable crashes."
The news comes after Tesla earlier in the week released its 2024 first quarter financial results.
The company had not responded to the NHTSA news as of 12 p.m. EDT Friday.
Roku's warning on ad-supported streaming competition clouds upbeat earnings
19:39:05 PM ET, 04/25/2024 - Reuters
(Adds details from Roku throughout and analyst comment in paragraph 9)
April 25 (Reuters) - Roku warned that a push by streaming rivals towards ad-supported offerings could weigh on its growth this year, taking the shine off its strong quarterly results and sending its shares down nearly 3% in extended trading on Thursday.
Roku, which sells streaming devices and has its own free, ad-supported channel, has seen more people turn to its platform as major streamers such as Netflix increased prices and economic uncertainty pressured consumer spending.
But the company executives said Roku faces "difficult year-over-year growth rate comparisons within streaming service distribution activities. This headwind is due to past price increases and a higher mix shift toward ad-supported offerings".
Major streaming services, including Netflix, have in the past year focused on growing their more affordable, ad-supported offerings as they look to maintain subscriber growth in an uncertain economic environment.
Still, Roku's earnings for the January-March quarter and a second-quarter sales forecast that was above Street estimates showed the company was benefiting from strong ad sales and the ongoing shift to streaming from cable TV.
The company posted net revenue of $881.5 million in the first quarter, compared with LSEG estimates of $848.6 million.
Roku's revenue from its platform segment, which includes digital ads and ad-free tier subscriptions, as well as from its streaming devices and TV each increased 19%.
The company ended the first quarter with 81.6 million "streaming households" (active accounts), a net increase of 1.6 million from the previous quarter.
"In an environment where engagement is at a premium, Roku continues to see strong growth in both the size of its base and amount of time spent on its platform," said Jamie Lumley, senior analyst at Third Bridge.
Roku forecast second-quarter revenue at $935 million, above analysts' average estimate of $931.4 million.

RBRK Stock IPO: 7 Things to Know as Rubrik Starts Trading Today
Wall Street is watching this key IPO closely today
By Samuel O'Brient, InvestorPlace Reporter
https://investorplace.com/2024/04/rbrk-stock-ipo-7-things-to-know-as-rubrik-starts-trading-today/
Software unicorn Rubrik (RBRK) begins trading today on the New York Stock Exchange.
This initial public offering (IPO) could usher in a new chapter for the tech sector.
Operating in a fast-growing market, Rubrik boasts a list of prominent backers and clients.
Since the noteworthy Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) initial public offering (IPO) that rocked markets in March, Wall Street hasn’t witnessed any more exciting trading debuts. However, that looks like it will change today as a fast-growing tech startup begins its journey as a publicly traded company.
Rubrik (NYSE:RBRK) is based out of Palo Alto, California and operates in the cloud data management and security space. Its decision to go public could signal that the tech IPO market is finally mounting a comeback after years of stagnating as investors focused on bigger stocks. Today, Wall Street will be looking to determine whether the RBRK stock IPO will be a crucial turning point for the tech sector, compelling similar companies to follow suit.
Renaissance Capital Senior IPO strategist Matt Kennedy spoke to Fortune about the potential implications of this key trading debut:
“There are dozens of unprofitable tech unicorns waiting to go public. So if this does well, I’d expect a number of those to move forward […] There’s some excitement over finally getting that high-growth tech company. But at the same time, investors will be quick to pull their money out if they don’t see a good result.”
With that in mind, the stakes are high as the RBRK stock IPO begins trading today. What else should investors know about the latest unicorn to go public? Let’s take a closer look.
RBRK Stock IPO: What to Know
Founded in 2014, Rubrik boasts a mission to “secure the world’s data.” Its website claims that, by next year, its cybercrime business will be worth up to $10 trillion.
In an S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Rubrik revealed that it ended January 2024 with 3,100 staff members located in 23 countries.
RBRK stock is priced at $32 per share as it begins trading today, which is expected to raise $752 million. That price is higher than the original estimation, which ranged between $28 and $31 per share.
According to a statement released by the company, the RBRK stock IPO consists of 23.5 million shares of Class A common stock.
Reuters reports that, following the IPO, Rubrik will be valued at roughly $5.6 billion “based on the outstanding shares listed in its filing with the [SEC].”
Tech sector leader Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) made an equity investment in Rubrik in 2021. Other backers include Bain Capital Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Khosla Ventures.
Rubrik’s software is used by many high-profile clients spanning different industries. Its customer list includes Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Citigroup (NYSE:C), among others.
