▼ + stars: | 2024-08-10 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

Activist Commentary: Oasis Management is a global hedge fund management firm headquartered in Hong Kong with additional offices in Tokyo and Austin, Texas, as well as the Cayman Islands. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is a Japan-based pharmaceuticals and consumer products company. It would imbue the company with a sense of urgency to improve operational performance, corporate governance and shareholder value maximization. But that is also a long shot, even at a company with corporate governance issues as we have here. The firm is a top-tier Japan shareholder activist and if anyone can get board seats in Japan, it is Oasis.

☆ Experts hesitate on weight loss ETFs amid the obesity drug boom
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Anna Gleason | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

There may be a stronger case to invest in single stocks over exchange-traded funds in the weight loss space. With just two players currently at the forefront of the U.S. obesity drug market, ProShares' Simeon Hyman questions the relevance of weight loss ETFs for investors looking to buy into the industry. "If the benefits are going to incumbents, then maybe there isn't a theme per se that needs to be exploited." Strategas' Sohn also suggested that ETFs based on themes, rather than sectors or indices, might be falling out of favor with investors. So far in 2024, Novo Nordisk has gained 29% and Eli Lilly is up 30%, as of Wednesday's close.

Samantha McLemore, Bill Miller's longtime co-manager who struck out to start her own fund, has her eyes on some of the most hated stocks in the market. McLemore said she is a classic long-term investor who studies companies' intrinsic value, but she also has a knack for finding underappreciated opportunities based on consumer behavior. However, McLemore believes that Delta differentiates itself from the rest by being a premium brand and it generates revenue from stable sources like loyalty programs. DAL 5Y mountain Delta "I think now you're getting another chance here," McLemore said. "Even in a recession, we have confidence that they can earn in the mid $4 a share," McLemore said.

☆ Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt tapped for federal biotech commission that allows members to keep biotech investments
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Eamon Javers | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

On Dec. 30, leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees announced the selection of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and 11 others to serve on a new federal commission on biotechnology. The appointment, however, doesn't require commission members to divest their own personal biotech investments — even as they help shape U.S. policy overseeing the industry. The person didn't say when Schmidt made the decision to donate profits, adding that he hasn't yet named any recipient charities. The new federal commission will likely have a say in steering such investments over the two years of its lifetime. Schmidt's biotech investments are relatively recent.

☆ Tough road ahead for U.S. fintech lenders as default risk rises
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Matt Tracy | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

During the pandemic, many fintech startups emerged as lenders to borrowers with imperfect credit. Using artificial intelligence, their screening tools were more likely to recommend these loan requests than traditional lenders'. The lenders' ABS were among bonds that raised $36 billion in 2021 and 2022 by pooling consumer and marketplace loans, according to FinSight data. The losses on subprime loans that are assumed to be uncollectible debt or charge-offs rose on average by some 20% by the third quarter of 2022 from 2019 levels, said Moody's. But the lenders' securities have not lost investor appeal as yet, said Theresa O’Neill, ABS strategist at BofA Securities.

The stock is trading at a slight discount relative to the S & P 500 and has buy ratings from three-quarters of analysts covering it. Mattel also made the list, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 10 and buy ratings from 73% of analysts. The stock is one the best performers in the S & P 500 for 2022, gaining more than 70% as investors have piled into the energy sector this year.

The data are limited to base salaries and US-based jobs for visa-seeking employees. Still, sports betting is as much about sports as it is gambling and tech — growing industries known for high-paying jobs. The data included five US sports betting companies: BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Penn Interactive, and Rush Street Interactive. It included salaries for jobs such as a data engineer at DraftKings that would make $97,000 per year or more and a sports trading senior manager at FanDuel that would earn $130,000. A FanDuel software engineer based in New York would make $128,440, which is in the range of what TikTok has offered software engineers, the data shows.
