REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Acquire Licensing RightsNov 21 (Reuters) - HP Inc (HPQ.N) on Tuesday forecast first-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates but maintained annual earnings outlook, a sign that demand in the personal computers market is still recovering, sending its shares down nearly 4% after market. HP expects first-quarter adjusted profit per share to be between 76 cents and 86 cents, the midpoint of which was below LSEG estimates of 86 cents. HP maintained fiscal 2024 adjusted profit forecast of $3.25 to $3.65 per share.

☆ Just a handful of stocks led the market in 2023. Here's why we still own 35

The stock market this year has been led by just a handful of the biggest and best tech companies. Just look at the S & P 500 market-cap weighted index, which is viewed as a barometer of the overall stock market. Compare that to the much smaller 3% year-to-date increase in the S & P 500 equal-weight index, which treats each company's stocks the same regardless of market value. It's hard to turn off the monitors and wait for your seven stocks to come back after a terrible year. On top of all that, how many experts really knew heading into 2023 that these were the seven names to back the truck up for?

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Citigroup (C.N) employees expect the bank to announce layoffs and senior management changes on Monday as part of its biggest reorganization in decades, according to five sources with knowledge of the matter. The job cuts could affect thousands of staff, according to a source familiar with the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly. Executives are also likely to announce senior management changes by email, the source said. Last month, Citi announced plans to cut management layers from 13 to eight as part of its biggest overhaul in decades. Support staff in compliance and risk management, and technology staff working on overlapping functions are at risk of being laid off, Reuters reported in September.

After months on the market, crypto news site CoinDesk has finally been acquired by a business that's run by the former president of the New York Stock Exchange. Bullish, a digital asset exchange led by ex-NYSE chief Tom Farley, has purchased CoinDesk from Barry Silbert's Digital Currency Group. It's the latest sign that Silbert's crypto empire, which had vaulted its founder into the billionaire ranks, continues to fall apart. In July, however, a $125 million purchase agreement from a consortium of investors fell through. In August, CoinDesk reportedly laid off around 16% of its staff.

In a cover letter that accompanied the subpoena, Blumenthal said Live Nation had failed to fully comply with document requests sent in March.

☆ Structural demand for US debt strong despite bond market volatility - Moody's

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 20 (Reuters) - The structural demand for U.S. debt which underpins the dollar-based global financial system remains strong against the backdrop of recent Treasury market volatility, Moody's Investors Service said on Monday. The firm added U.S. financial regulators have undertaken a series of measures to improve Treasury market resilience and efficiency, and that it expects the market structure will continue to evolve. "Going forward, as the Fed reduces its Treasury holdings, foreign central banks, pension funds, insurance companies and households will be stabilizing factors in the market," Moody's said in a client note. Earlier this month, Moody's lowered its outlook on the U.S. credit rating to "negative" from "stable" citing large fiscal deficits and a decline in debt affordability. Treasury yields have soared this year on expectations the Federal Reserve will keep monetary policy tight, as well as on U.S.-focused fiscal concerns.

For years, the social pillar has been considered relatively nebulous and hard to quantify. And it comes despite the fact that the ESG investing framework has found itself in hot water politically.
