☆ 'Boomerang CEOs' don't always work out; Disney hopes this one bucks trend
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( David Randall | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

NEW YORK, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Can Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) bank on another hit sequel? That appears to be the hope behind the company's surprise decision to bring back former chief executive Bob Iger to replace Bob Chapek. During his first tenure from 2005 to 2020, Disney's annualised shareholder returns were more than 14%, well above its rival Comcast Corp (CMCSA.O) and the broader stock market, and in total in that period the stock rose more than 400%. Yet there are reasons to think that Disney may have made the right decision in bringing back Iger, Bingham said. “I think this is a game-changer," said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, about Disney.

Bob Iger's return isn't unusual. Here are four other boomerang CEOs who've returned to the companies they once ran. Iger acted as Disney's CEO from 2015 to 2020. In the most recent quarter, the streaming service lost $1.47 billion, which is more than double the loss from 2021. Iger is one of a handful of boomerang CEOs who've returned to the companies they once ran.

Chris Downs, 41, returned to the same company twice after quitting in 2008 and 2021. In a recession, returning to one's old job might not be so easy. In 2008, Downs quit his job as an associate for the global consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. Economic uncertainty is among the reasons Downs says he is "even less likely to leave" his job again. If he were on the job hunt now, he says he would probably prioritize job stability.

ROME, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Tuesday he was back in touch with Russian President Vladimir Putin and had recently exchanged "sweet letters" with him, according to an audio released by an Italian news agency. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com Register"I answered him with some bottles of Lambrusco (wine) and an equally sweet letter," said Berlusconi, whose birthday was on Sept. 29. A party spokesperson denied Berlusconi was back in touch with Putin, saying he had been telling his parliamentarians "an old story referring to an episode many years ago." Matteo Salvini, leader of the anti-immigrant League, has often praised Putin and used to don a T-shirt emblazoned with the Russian leader's face. "They could become a boomerang and we will find ourselves in great difficulty," he told the talk show Porta a Porta.

Apple could be the next bellwether to feel the boomerang effect from elevated pandemic spending as it prepares to report results for the calendar third quarter. Still, he said Bernstein is more optimistic on Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings than consensus, helped specifically by having an extra week in the quarter. Bernstein expects iPhone revenue climbed 13% in the latest quarter compared to last year. Bernstein estimated a 25% decline for consumer PCs in the latest quarter and a 40% slump in Chromebooks due to education weakness. Apple is expected to report earnings Oct. 27 before the bell.

watch nowWhy so many young adults live with mom and dadOverall, multigenerational living is on the rise and has been for years. In 2020, the share of those living with their parents — often referred to as "boomerang kids" — temporarily spiked to a historic high. Now, 25% of young adults live in a multigenerational household, up from just 9% five decades ago. A smaller share live in their own home and have a parent or other older relative stay with them. The percentage of young adults living with parents or grandparents is even greater among men and those without a college degree.

☆ Homeowners still want space to quarantine and take Zoom calls, even though the worst of the pandemic is over. 3 real-estate experts explain the trends they're seeing.

Quarantine spaces, flexible rooms, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), are hot trends right now. The lower level matched exactly the kind of space Trevett was looking to build out. Additional data from the NAHB shows that demand for things like flexible living spaces, dedicated office or Zoom spaces, outdoor spaces, laundry rooms, and home technology has risen during the pandemic. Adding more living space separate from the main home has also become more important for families considering the needs of aging parents and boomerang kids. "Having a dedicated quarantine space gives me a sense of relief," Trevett said.

Mai mult de jumătate dintre angajații MAIB au donat pentru prima dată, lucru care nu poate decât să bucure.

☆ YouTube больше не размещает рекламу в Молдове. Что случилось, и плачут ли молдавские влогеры

То есть рекламодатели больше не могут размещать рекламу на YouTube для молдавской аудитории, а блогеры не могут зарабатывать на молдавской аудитории. Партнерская программа YouTube (размещение рекламы), отметим, работает так: при просмотре видеороликов пользователю показывают видео и текстовую рекламу. А монетизация работает так: рекламодатель платит деньги YouTube за размещение рекламы на видеоплатформе, часть денег YouTube оставляет себе, а часть отдает авторам каналов. О причинах запрета монетизации контента в Молдове неизвестно. По его оценкам, на рекламу в молдавском сегменте YouTube рекламодатели тратили примерно €50 тыс.
