Monday.com Is Profitable For The First Time. Its Stock Is Rising.
~1.1 mins read

Shares of monday.com popped after the workplace software company topped analysts’ expectations with its second-quarter results and raised its full-year guidance.

The company’s latest projection calls for revenue growth of 31% to 32% in 2024, up from a prior estimate of 29% to 30%.

In the second quarter, revenue jumped 34% year-over-year to $236.1 million and earnings per share (EPS) swung to a profit of 27 cents from a loss of 15 cents. Both figures came in above the analyst consensus, per Visible Alpha. Monday.com stock was up nearly 12% in recent trading. 

The company was "able to deliver exceptional efficiency in Q2, achieving our first quarter of GAAP operating profitability,” said Chief Financial Officer Eliran Glazer. “These results demonstrate not only our highly effective execution, but the strong demand we continue to see even through a challenging macroeconomic environment.”

Monday.com’s said its net dollar retention rate was 110%, while its net dollar retention rate for clients with annual recurring revenue above $100,000 was 114%. The company defines net dollar retention rate as the percentage of revenue it generated from existing customers compared to what it earned from those same customers a year earlier. A figure above 100% means the company is growing its revenue within its existing customer base.

Afrobeats singer, Badman Dafe, has replied Jamaican Reggae artiste, Buju Banton

Judging an entire genre only from the catalogue you have access to is pure ignorance. He said is African China, Eedris Abdulkareem, Daddy Showkey, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Oritse Femi and lots more a joke to you? Where was the western world when most of our music were about the struggles in Africa?

Mind you a bulk of reggaeton and dancehall we have access to as Africans are about P*ssy and We*d, but this never made us discredit the ones that about the struggle and freedom.

AI Could Help The IPhone 16 Drive An Apple Renaissance, Wedbush Says
~1.2 mins read

Apple's (AAPL) artificial intelligence-fueled growth cycle could be stronger than expected, according to Wedbush analysts who lifted their iPhone 16 shipment estimates based on their outlook for Asian demand.

The analysts wrote that "recent Asia checks this week are giving us more confidence this upgrade cycle will kick off a long-awaited renaissance of growth for Cupertino over the next year." Apple has struggled amid increased competition and pricing pressure in the China market but has recently indicated that discounting efforts could be paying off.

Wedbush analysts increased their estimates for iPhone 16 shipments to at least 90 million, higher than Street expectations of between 80 million and 84 million, citing "more indications across the Asia supply chain this iPhone upgrade cycle." Roughly 300 million iPhone users have not upgraded in the past four years, the analysts said.

They highlighted the anticipation building around the iPhone maker's AI opportunity with the Apple Intelligence-powered iPhone 16. The device is expected to launch in September with AI updates to roll out later.

AI integration into Apple devices and associated monetization opportunities could add $30 to $40 per share for investors, the analysts wrote.

Apple shares were recently up about 1% in Monday trading. The stock has gained about 13% year-to-date amid recent pressure driven in part by news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) cut its stake in the company.

Disney Announces Massive Theme Parks, Cruise Expansion At D23
~1.2 mins read

The Walt Disney Co. (DIS), which recently warned of slowing demand at its Experiences segment, is spending billions of dollars to expand its theme park attractions and its cruise ship fleet.

The announcements by the entertainment giant over the weekend flesh out details of the $60 billion, 10-year expansion of its theme parks and cruise operations it announced last year.

Among the announcements the entertainment giant reported at its three-day "D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event" in Anaheim, Calif.: the largest expansion in the 53-year history of Orlando's Magic Kingdom, with a new Villains Land and another inspired by the "Cars" franchise; new "Avengers" attractions in its California, Hong Kong, and Shanghai parks; and increasing its cruise ship fleet to 13 from nine by 2031.

Consumers' pullback on discretionary spending has affected Disney shares despite the company's better-than-expected third-quarter results last Wednesday, which saw its combined ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu streaming unit turn a profit for the first time.

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Hugh Johnson said during the entertainment giant's earnings call that Disney expects "a flattish revenue number" for the Experiences segment for "a few quarters."

Disney's shares are little changed an hour before the opening bell Monday but are down more than 4% year-to-date.
