▼ + stars: | 2024-06-25 | by ( Lisa Kailai Han | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Credo Technology has emerged to take the crown as TD Cowen's top small- and mid-cap stock pick after a red-hot start to the year. Analyst Matthew Ramsay also upped his price target for the stock to $35 from $24, implying that Credo shares could rally 28% from Monday's close. Specifically, he thinks that Credo's revenue could inflect in the second half of its fiscal year as a number of its programs begin to ramp, including some GenAI buildouts. Credo's key program ramps within its active electrical cables at Microsoft and Amazon should also play a role in pushing the company's fundamentals higher. "Overall, we see the diversification of the company's revenue base as a key de-risking of the model and should benefit the durability of revenues going forward," Ramsey said.

A sweep of the executive and legislative branches by either Democrats or Republicans in the November election could spell more risk to crypto assets, according to TD Cowen. "Divided government is the best possible outcome for financial firms, housing and crypto as we believe there would be bipartisan legislative and regulatory agreements that could survive future political changes," TD Cowen's Jaret Seiberg wrote in a note Monday. "If Biden wins, a Republican Senate could limit his ability to put aggressive regulators in power," Seiberg added. "Trump would likely have a GOP Senate, but House Democrats could block his legislative agenda. Republican politicians have tended to hold more crypto-friendly views, but the digital currency industry maintains that crypto is a nonpartisan issue.

☆ Here's how Disney’s streaming business can work toward Netflix-like profitability
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +14 min

Disney's streaming margins, while still negative due to losses and nowhere near Netflix's, have improved significantly in recent quarters and are now on the doorstep of an important milestone. Disney's streaming overview Disney+ is its flagship streaming service across the globe. The ARPU discrepancy on Disney+ core helps explain why Netflix is much more profitable than Disney's streaming business. Given that Disney's streaming business has rolled out pretty much everywhere across the globe, Cruetz said moving forward "it's about driving more penetration in those markets." The latest is a matchup with Disney and HBO's parent Warner Bros Discovery , whose flagship streaming service is called Max.
