Athletes come in all shapes and sizes, but not everyone recognizes that, and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah won’t stand for it. The Toronto Blue Jays hurler, a 2022 AL Cy Young Award finalist, was criticized over his body by MLB Network analyst and former player Anthony Recker Wednesday night. And on top of that, the 25-year-old was also left off the program’s top-10 2023 starting pitchers list despite his dominant 2022 campaign. Recker attacked Manoah’s 6-foot-6, 285-pound frame… Source link

Investors are hoping Tesla’s (TSLA) price-cutting ways have run their course for 2023. “Based on the statement that [Elon Musk] made on the fourth quarter earnings call, saying that his demand is 2x his supply, you’d be silly to cut price,” BofA analyst John Murphy on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “You would just be eating into your profitability and not achieving any more incremental volume in the near term.” Earlier this month, Tesla cut the Model 3 base version by $3,000 to $43,990.

Don’t expect a mass layoff announcement from Apple (AAPL) despite global economic weakness weighing on iPhone and Mac sales, says Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives. That’s in large part because Apple CEO Tim Cook didn’t overhire during the pandemic, unlike many of Apple’s rivals. “Apple never hired at the pace of these other tech giants,” Ives said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “You’ll see cost-cutting around the edges, but Cupertino — I mean, they’re tacticians…I think it just shows… Source link

The uber-busy Elon Musk is still a key risk to the successful running of Tesla (TSLA) that investors shouldn’t lose sight of, warned Jefferies analyst Phillippe Houchois. “We have published research many times in the past where we say the enemy is inside of Tesla,” Houchois said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Musk is an incredible driving force, but he is also the one that brings unnecessary risk, in a way, to the situation.” The prickly billionaire reminded investors of that risk at… Source link

There is light at the end of the tunnel for Microsoft (MSFT) as a global economic slowdown weighs on the tech giant’s growth, argues Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin. Microsoft growth rates are “going to bottom here either this quarter, the current quarter they reported, or the next quarter,” Bracelin said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “So we are close to saying the worst declines are over for these non-cloud segments like Windows and devices and advertising.” While that may provide… Source link

Get ready for gas prices to rise again going into spring. A gallon of driving fuel could go back above $4, according to GasBuddy petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan. “It’s a question of when, not if. I think something like that could happen by potentially April, maybe sooner,” said De Haan. “I think motorists are going to start getting squeezed more so in late February. The next three weeks could be a bit of a mixed bag,” he said. De Haan points to planned breaks in production at refineries as… Source link

For Meta (META) this year, the road ahead will focus on better execution with fewer employees, and maybe a higher stock price, argues RBC analyst Brad Erickson. “We think they are making improvements in terms of targeting and measurement, and we think that is translating into incremental dollar growth and advertising,” Erickson said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). Meta is Erickson’s top pick from his sector coverage for 2023. The bullish call comes after a brutally challenging year for… Source link

Intel (INTC) may report another negative earnings surprise when it reports fourth-quarter results and guidance on Thursday, according to Citi. “We expect Intel to guide below the normal seasonal range for 1Q23 revenue and EPS given continued weakness in the PC and data center end markets,” Citi chips analyst Chris Danely wrote in a new client note on Tuesday. “We expect Intel to give full year guidance and talk about a 2H23 recovery but we do not believe it will happen until 2024 and our… Source link
