Sydney CNN —Two matches stand between Australia and a historic Women’s World Cup win, and the nation – perhaps prematurely – is debating the pros and cons of a national holiday should the squad defeat Spain on Sunday. Soccer mania has swept the country in a culture where rugby, cricket and the local “Aussie Rules” football usually dominates. Australia players celebrate after winning their quarterfinal match against France in Brisbane, August 12.

Industrial manufacturer Oshkosh Corporation is showing significant growth potential, and investors should capitalize on it, according to Baird. Analyst Mircea (Mig) Dobre upgraded shares to outperform from neutral and raised his price target to $137 from $89. The new price target suggests a 35% upside from where the stock closed Tuesday. "The pressure in Vocational and Defense offset an Access business where execution/margin was ramping," Dobre said in a Wednesday note. In vocational, Dobre noted the company's second-quarter margin improvement as an indicator of improved supply chains and further margin growth.

NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The digital advertising hunt is back on. Reuters Graphics Reuters GraphicsAlthough Meta and Alphabet dominate the digital ad market, there’s plenty of money yet to fight for. Comcast (CMCSA.O), for example, said on Thursday that U.S. ad revenue at its NBC Universal media division fell 5% and overall EBITDA was down nearly a fifth. Despite the volatile nature of advertising revenue because of its close links to economic trends, it also typically generates healthy operating margins. It’s no wonder then that Amazon.com (AMZN.O), Walmart (WMT.N), DoorDash (DASH.N) and many more are descending on TV’s carcass.

New York CNN —Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” raked in a stunning $155 million domestically over the weekend, giving the film the largest opening weekend of 2023, Comscore said. The combined release of “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” dubbed “Barbenheimer,” has become a pop culture sensation – and one that might revive a struggling movie industry. Coming in behind “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer” opened at $80.5 million domestically over the weekend, according to Comscore. Its closest comparison is “Wonder Woman” in 2017, directed by Patty Jenkins, which raked in about $38 million domestically on opening day, according to Box Office Mojo.

AMC Theatres isn't going ahead with its plan to charge more for the best seats at the movie theater. After trials at select locations, the chain scrapped the plan to ensure "its ticket prices stay competitive." AMC's unpopular tiered-pricing plan would have raised costs for middle seats and charged less for seats in the front row. The US box office dropped from $11.3 billion in 2019 to just $7.3 billion in 2022, according to Box Office Mojo. The domestic box office has grossed just over $5 billion in 2023 to date, per Box Office Mojo.

"Sound of Freedom" is a box-office hit, taking in $90 million since opening July 4. The movie is a huge success for an indie — and there's clearly a market for this kind of content. Movies marketed to conservative Christians have defied expectations and crushed at the box office in the past. The "God's Not Dead" film series has also seen success at the box office since the first movie came out in 2014, raking in $64 million worldwide against a $2 million budget. "Sound of Freedom" has caused controversy, in part because of star Jim Caviezel's ties to QAnon and the questionable figure his character is based on.

Cathay Pacific’s recovery finds its wings

HONG KONG, July 14 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Cathay Pacific (0293.HK) is regaining its mojo. The return to profitability for the $7 billion airline, which expects earnings of as much as HK$4.5 billion, is well-timed. Dividends owed on the preference shares are due to rise from 3% to 5% in August and would continue to rise to as much as 9%. Buying back the shares, as the company plans to do within the next 12 months, will avoid the higher coupons. But as Cathay aims to return to 100% of pre-pandemic capacity by the end of 2024, confidence is returning to Hong Kong’s skies.
