☆ The pool party’s over as Americans ease up on backyard upgrades
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-04 | by ( Davis Giangiulio | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Americans will be splashing around this summer in the backyard pools they've already got, but not splashing out as much on new ones. Swimming pool installations were part of the home improvement frenzy that swept the country during the pandemic as Americans were stuck at home. Pool Corp., a national pool equipment distributor with a roughly $11 billion market valuation, said last week it expects new pool construction to fall by 15% to 20% this year. But businesses that rely on Americans' appetite for home upgrades are still adjusting to leaner times — including pool builders. In Arizona, Ast said, "the lines get blurred a little bit between luxury and need in the middle of the desert."

☆ UBS says this high-risk space stock could rally 50%
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Pia Singh | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Texas-based satellite manufacturer AST SpaceMobile is a risky — but worthwhile — investment, according to UBS. Analyst Christopher Schoell increased his price target for the stock by $6 to $13, implying a whopping 50.8% potential upside as of Friday's close. The shares have climbed nearly 44% so far this year, and skyrocketed about 284% over the past month. "We still see ASTS as a high-risk, high-reward investment that is subject to various risks," Schoell said in a Monday note. Still, the stock has several risks that could create uncertainties for the company's path ahead, such as launch timing and the possibility of failures, regulatory issues, funding and competition.

Satellite-to-phones service provider AST SpaceMobile announced a partnership with Verizon on Wednesday, adding to the company's recent deal with AT&T to provide remote coverage across the United States. AST SpaceMobile is building satellites to provide broadband service to unmodified smartphones, in the nascent "direct-to-device" communications market. The company's chairman and CEO, Abel Avellan, touted AST's agreements with Verizon and AT&T as "essentially eliminating dead zones and empowering remote areas of the country with space-based connectivity." Verizon's deal effectively includes a $100 million raise for AST, as well, in the form of $65 million in commercial service prepayments and $35 million in debt via convertible notes. The companies said that $45 million of the prepayments "are subject to certain conditions" such as needed regulatory approvals and signing of a definitive commercial agreement.

It is the second letter that auto dealers have sent to the White House in two months on the EPA’s upcoming ruling, which could codify the agency's strictest-ever tailpipe emissions limits, proposed last April. The dealerships said Thursday that the Biden administration did not respond to their first letter sent on Nov. 28. Political Cartoons View All 253 ImagesThe EPA says its proposed regulations would require up to two out of every three vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2032. Most automakers around the globe have pledged hundreds of billions of dollars to transition to all-electric new vehicle sales in the coming decade as momentum to address climate change builds. Automakers can meet EPA regulations not just through pure-electric vehicle sales, but also through a sales mix including hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

☆ Investing in Space: Regulatory hold up keeps Varda spacecraft stuck in orbit

CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. There's a small spacecraft zipping around Earth right now, but, unlike most satellites in orbit, it wants to come down. The launch went great, the spacecraft has been healthy, drugs were made, but the necessary license for capsule reentry has not been granted. That may make sense for launch but it's a bit more difficult for reentry," Asparouhov said. How the stratosphere reacts to a reentry capsule in September is very different than February, which is very different than June."

Overview: Forecast or fantasyWe're now at least two years on from when a slew of space companies went public during the SPAC frenzy, and, look, none of them look great. Now a bit further down the road, I want to look at a different financial metric: 2023 revenue projections. I ran an informal series for a while to mark when a space company announced it was going public. The rest of the pack isn't as on the mark: A few companies are roughly halfway to their earlier 2023 revenue projections, or performing even better. Spire forecast 2023 revenue of $227 million and is closing in on about $107 million.
