☆ Why pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS are shuttering locations
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( Devan Burris | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

In its fiscal third-quarter earnings report to investors in late June, pharmacy chain Walgreens announced plans to close a "significant" number of its 8,600 U.S. stores. "Pharmacy chains used to really be the heart of communities," said GlobalData retail managing director Neil Saunders. Walgreens leans heavily on its back-of-store pharmacy revenue to make up for weakness in retail, an arena which itself has struggled with shrinking margins. "CVS has sized this at about a billion dollars a year, and CVS and Walgreens have kind of similar-sized pharmacies." Watch the video above to learn more about what is leading U.S. pharmacy chains to close thousands of stores.

☆ Investors should wait before chasing Meta here, according to the charts
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( David Keller | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

After reaching a peak around $320 in July 2023, META spent four solid months bouncing between price support around $280 and retesting the July peak. With this week's earnings beat, we'll likely see META test the upper end of this new trading range. Here we can see the recent trading range in much better context, but we can also see weakening momentum conditions. The declining momentum on the weekly chart suggests a serious headwind to META's attempt to break out of its recent trading range. The 2023 range was finally eclipsed once we saw an upside break above a clearly defined resistance level.

☆ Oil prices slip on China demand concerns, waning Middle East worries
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Oil prices slipped in early Asian trading on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, over concerns about Chinese demand and as the market shrugged off the risk of conflict escalating in the Middle East. Brent crude oil futures fell by 12 cents or 0.15% to $79.78 a barrel by 0033 GMT. The market is watching an upcoming meeting of China's top decision-making body, the Politburo, expected to take place this week, that could elicit further economic policy support. But expectations are limited after the Third Plenum, a key policy meeting in mid-July, largely reiterated existing economic policy goals and failed to lift market sentiment. Oil fell 2% in the previous trading session after Israel signaled that its response to a Hezbollah rocket strike in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday would be calculated to avoid dragging the Middle East into an all-out war.

Instead of getting a young company with a lot of growth ahead, IPO investors are getting stocks that are already near the top of their valuations, Morgan Stanley argues. Experts say that despite barriers to investment — like high net worth standards and regulatory scrutiny — the shift to private markets is hard to stop. Deepwater offers venture capital funds that provide access to private market companies at early stages. To be sure, novice investors face hurdles exploring private markets, including steep fees and the lack of a public exchange investment vehicle.

However, the team added, many of the factors driving net interest income are uncertain heading into the second half of the year. We don't like to see guidance misses, but bank interest income estimates depend on interest rates, which Wells Fargo has no real control over. Non-interest income increased 12% thanks to higher asset-based fees driven by an increase in market valuations.
