Albwardy Investment, the franchise's 100% owner, hired Rothschild & Co to advise on the planned IPO, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the plans are not public. The potential IPO of Spinneys Dubai, planned on the Dubai Financial Market, would add to the small but growing regional food retail sector. Spinneys Dubai operates more than 65 stores across the UAE, its website says. Albwardy, which says it has annual turnover above $1 billion, also owns the franchise rights to upmarket British supermarket chain Waitrose.

☆ What Netflix's earnings beat tells us about Club holding Disney

Subscriber growth We think Netflix's quarter offers a positive read-through for Disney on the streaming front. That's important, even though we've argued for months that Wall Street's intense focus on Disney's streaming ambitions means the company's booming theme park business gets somewhat overlooked. Netflix brought its streaming service to over 130 countries across the world more than three years before Disney's flagship streaming service, Disney+, hit the U.S. and Canadian markets in the fall of 2019. Even in a period of decline for Netflix, Disney+ was able to keep growing solidly. Analysts expect the company to have added 9.1 million Disney+ subscribers in its fourth quarter, according to FactSet.
