☆ Here's why Dollar Tree and Dollar General stocks have plummeted
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Ryan Baker | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Dollar stores companies were some best performing stocks in the S&P 500 during the Great Recession, said Piper Sandler managing director Peter Keith. Shares of Dollar Tree — which owns its namesake brand and Family Dollar — and Dollar General have both fallen roughly 50% this year. Lower income Americans, who comprise about 60% of Dollar General sales, are under more pressure to stretch their dollars in the face of high inflation. In its fiscal 2024 second quarter earnings call, Dollar General said those customers are also more reliant on online storefronts, which dollar stores have had less success in rolling out. Both Dollar Tree and Dollar General have also faced numerous worker safety violations over the past decade.

☆ CHART: How Nvidia's revenue has exploded in recent years
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +1 min

AdvertisementNvidia's revenue surged 94% year-over-year last quarter, driven by solid demand for its GPU chips. The historic growth is expected to continue, with analysts estimating more than $200 billion in revenue next year. The company reported revenue of $35.08 billion in the quarter, representing a 94% year-over-year surge and a 492% increase from its third quarter in fiscal year 2023. The massive breakout in Nvidia's revenue growth occurred shortly after OpenAi introduced ChatGPT in November 2022, which was during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2023. If Nvidia can meet Wall Street's lofty growth expectations going forward, its stock price could extend its historic run.

☆ Why Musicians Aren't Making Money: Streaming, Record Labels & TikTok

Music has always been a business, but streaming, TikTok, inflation, and the ballooning costs of touring have dramatically altered a musician's traditional routes to making money. But a lot has changed since streaming usurped radio play as the kingmaker of a rising musician's career. Even the hitmakers who dominate your "For You" page are getting paid "almost nothing" from TikTok, as one music exec told Billboard. 1 song on TikTok doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things," Tinashe's longtime manager, Simonne Solitro, explains.

During a hearing before a senate judiciary subcommittee in May 2023, Altman said he gets "paid enough for health insurance" and that he receives no equity in OpenAI. Bloomberg estimated in March 2024 that the CEO is worth at least $2 billion, not including any stake he may have in OpenAI. Altman denied during an all-hands meeting with employees that there were plans for him to receive a "giant euqity stake," CNBC reported.
