It also said it expects to post a net loss of $32.8 million compared with a profit of $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. "This explains the weakness in our preliminary Q2 2024 results, as contrasted with the same quarter of a year ago." "But if looking only at the full quarter, the lay observer might easily miss the incredibly good news that transpired within the second quarter," Aron said. "This in turn suggests that AMC should enjoy increasing adjusted EBITDA, if as and when overall industry revenues are climbing.

☆ Branding Chewy a meme stock is bad for the pet retailer, according to Wall Street analysts
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-01 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Chewy shares started swinging wildly after online personality Roaring Kitty revealed a big stake , but Wall Street analysts believe being branded as a meme stock is not good for the pet retailer. The meme stock leader, whose legal name is Keith Gill, has taken a 6.6% stake in Chewy, making him the third-largest shareholder. An initial boost in the share price — it surged 18% in two days early last week — has quickly faded, with shares falling more than 5% Monday. Many believe BC could use any rally in Chewy stock to sell more of its stake, putting a temporary ceiling on the shares. The dynamic could be at play Monday as Chewy's stock opened 9% higher, only to quickly give up all the gains and turn lower.

New York CNN —Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group has gone ice-cold. The weeks-long selloff accelerated in recent days as Trump Media announced it received approval from regulators for a move that threatens to water down the holdings of shareholders. The problem is that even after the recent selloff, Trump Media is still valued in the billions of dollars, and yet it generates very little revenue. Not only that, but Truth Social remains a tiny player in social media, dwarfed by Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), Reddit and even Instagram’s Threads. “Today marks another milestone for Truth Social,” Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes said in a statement on Tuesday.
