☆ Disney earnings offer hope that streaming can successfully supplant linear TV
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-14 | by ( Alex Sherman | In Alex-Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

For Disney's fiscal 2025, streaming will generate enough operating income to offset the parallel decline in operating income from linear TV, Johnston said in an interview. Disney projects entertainment direct-to-consumer operating income will increase by about $875 million next year over fiscal year 2024. That would put the division at over $1 billion in operating income for the coming fiscal year. Disney's combined streaming businesses improved their profitability in the company's fiscal fourth quarter, posting operating income of $321 million. For the year, Disney's entertainment streaming platforms (Disney+ and Hulu) made $143 million in operating income.

☆ Don Bacon Defeats Tony Vargas for House Seat in Nebraska
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-09 | by ( Karoun Demirjian | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska, one of the most politically vulnerable Republicans in the country, has defeated his Democratic challenger and won a fifth term, according to The Associated Press. His victory denies Democrats one of their best opportunities this year to pick up a seat and bolsters his party’s drive to hold its majority. The race was the second matchup between Mr. Bacon and Tony Vargas, who came within 6,000 votes of unseating the congressman in 2022. Mr. Vargas came up short again on Friday evening, even after top Democrats including Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, and Gov. The contest between Mr. Bacon, 61, a former brigadier general in the Air Force, and Mr. Vargas, 40, a former public-school teacher who is the son of Peruvian immigrants, featured debates over national issues including abortion rights, taxes and public safety.

Vice President Kamala Harris has won Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, NBC News projects, earning an electoral vote from a red state. The historically competitive 2nd District, which includes Omaha and the surrounding suburban areas, has oscillated between Democratic and Republican representation (and presidential winners) in recent years. Nebraska is one of two states that allocates its electoral votes by congressional district. I’m voting for Harris.”Trump’s allies failed in their effort to change Nebraska’s electoral vote allocation back to a winner-take-all system. In a state that has leaned Republican going back decades, had lawmakers reverted to that model, Trump would have captured all five of the state’s electoral votes.

Warren Buffett isn't hot on stocks right now, and the 94-year-old CEO's latest moves reflect that. The cash hoard has grown as Berkshire pared down stakes in key holdings such as Apple and Bank of America . It's also raked in more than $10 billion from steadily selling Bank of America shares since the summer. Berkshire Class A stock trades at 22.6 time earnings.

AdvertisementWith Election Day on Tuesday, the end is in sight for what has been a contentious US presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. It wasn't long before Harris began to narrow the gap between the Democrats and the GOP in the presidential race. Now, millions of women live in states with near-total abortion bans, while millions of other women live in states where abortion rights have been strengthened. In the closing days of the race, Harris has heavily emphasized the issue, which also helped Democrats in the 2022 midterms.

▼ + stars: | 2024-11-02 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Warren Buffett walks the floor ahead of the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 3, 2024. Berkshire Hathaway 's monstrous cash pile topped $300 billion in the third quarter as Warren Buffett continued his stock-selling spree and held back from repurchasing shares. Meanwhile, since mid-July, Berkshire has reaped more than $10 billion from offloading its longtime Bank of America investment. Overall, the 94-year-old investor continued to be in a selling mood as Berkshire shed $36.1 billion worth of stock in the third quarter. The company states that it will buy back stock when Chairman Buffett "believes that the repurchase price is below Berkshire's intrinsic value, conservatively determined."

☆ Berkshire’s cash soars to $325 billion as Buffett sells Apple, BofA; operating profit falls
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-02 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Profit also rose at the BNSF railroad, which shipped more consumer goods, and Berkshire Hathaway Energy, where operating expenses declined. It has now sold more than 600 million of the iPhone maker’s shares in 2024, though Apple remained Berkshire’s largest stock holding, at $69.9 billion. The sales comprised a large portion of the $36.1 billion of stock, including several billion dollars of Bank of America shares, that Berkshire sold in the quarter. Operating profit from Berkshire’s dozens of businesses fell to $10.09 billion, or about $7,019 per Class A share, from $10.76 billion a year earlier. This more than offset a near doubling of underwriting profit at Geico.

☆ Warren Buffett continued to sell down his Apple stake, cutting about a quarter in the third period
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-02 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The Omaha-based conglomerate held $69.9 billion worth of Apple shares at the end of September, according to its third-quarter earnings report released Saturday morning. That implied Buffett offloaded approximately a quarter of his stake with about 300 million shares remaining in the holding. Warren Buffett sold another big chuck of his Apple stake, downsizing Berkshire Hathaway 's biggest equity holding for four quarters in a row. Before Apple, Buffett largely avoided technology companies for most of his career, saying they were outside of his circle of competence. Apple shares are up 16% on the year, trailing the S&P 500's 20% gain.

One other potential scenario looms this fall: the "contingent election" of the president and the vice president that would happen if no one can secure the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidential election. That has not happened in the modern era, but there are a few conceivable (if unlikely) paths across the Electoral College map that could lead to former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris ending the race tied at 269 electoral votes. In the event of a tie, Congress would decide the next president. “Each state, regardless of population, casts a single vote for President in a contingent election,” according to the Congressional Research Service. Although Washington, D.C., has three electoral votes in the presidential election, it would not have a vote in the House in a contingent election because it is not a state.
