The last few years saw the markets go crazy. Between the COVID lockdowns and market crash, the rebound recovery, last year’s sustained bull run, and this year’s devastating first half that saw the bull turn into a bear. But in all of that, there have been stocks that have outperformed the market. These winning stocks have attracted attention from Jim Cramer, the well-known host of CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ program. Among other things, Cramer has been following stocks which won big during… Source link

Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) recent HBO Max retreat may signal good things to come for competitor Netflix (NFLX) — at least according to one media analyst. “[WBD] needs to be very focused on driving free cash flow and deleveraging,” Lightshed Partners’ Rich Greenfield told Yahoo Finance Live in a new interview, referencing the company’s reported $3.42 billion loss in the second quarter. “To them, that means embracing theaters and making sure they make as much money on every film,” the… Source link

In continuation of our series “What to do in a bear market,” Yahoo Finance asked the… Source link

Stiffel Chief Equity Strategist Barry Bannister believes that there’s less reason for fear and lays out a strong case for upside. “We forecast the S&P 500 up to 4,200 in 3Q22E and recommend Cyclical Growth groups…… Source link

It’ll definitely get messier from here, for one. Musk could be on the hook for a $1 billion reverse breakup fee and, on top of that, the merger agreement features a “specific performance” clause that could theoretically force the Tesla (TSLA) CEO to close the… Source link
