📊 Warner Bros. Discovery Divides in Two

Ruh-roh, Raggy—Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting up into streaming and network arms. But don’t worry, markets loved it and the stock soared 8%.

Warner Bros. has straight up not been having a good time recently, with declining TV revenues, failed video game releases, and new layoffs to blame. In what some would consider a calculated move (or a Hail Mary?), the company is going to try the old divide and conquer strategy to bring some semblance of positive growth trajectory back to the table. Interestingly, our AltIndex model rates the stock at as a “hold” for now, but with several positive financial indicators.

👇 What You Said Last Time

“They both have way too much to lose... especially Trump. Elon will be way more stringent with the purse strings as he does need to get to Mars, right? So, Trump will need to find another bank-roller.”

🧘‍♀️ Lululemon Shares Tumble 21% on Tariffs

Lululemon shares plunged 21% after the athleisure giant cut its full-year profit outlook, citing tariff uncertainties that have spooked both the company and consumers. The company will be raising prices, and consumers will be raising pitchforks.

CEO Calvin McDonald called US consumers “more discerning” than Canadian ones—code for “no one’s buying anything right now because of tariffs.” The company also faces an upcoming 46% duty on Vietnamese imports, where 40% of their products are made. Jefferies analyst Randal Konik declared that there’s "no more juice in the lemon" and predicted US sales will soon turn negative (but others said the market was overreacting).

📊 Today’s Top Chart

The dollar might be losing global popularity, but you know what isn’t? Gold.

The worse the dollar does, the better gold does.

💰 KKR Chairman Henry Kravis Sells Off $138 Million

KKR & Co. Chairman Henry Kravis just sold over 1.15 million shares of his own company. He made $137.8 million on the trade.

But he’s still not leaving—the sale only represents a 1.55% reduction in his massive KKR & Co. holdings, as Kravis still maintains over 73 million shares valued at approximately $8.75 billion. Maybe he just needed $130M in beer money. Despite the large sale, KKR stock climbed 2.3% to $123.46. Also, here’s what Kravis and co-founder George Roberts think young investors lack (including emotional intelligence).

🎬 Disney Finally Completes Hulu Acquisition

If you’re thinking, “Wait, didn’t Disney buy Hulu in like, 2019?” you’d be right. But it wasn’t until this past Monday that Disney actually finalized the deal by paying NBCUniversal an extra $438.7 million. Still have no idea what streaming platform our shows are on, though.

The transaction gives Disney full control of the streaming service and its 54.7 million subscribers, enabling deeper integration with Disney and ESPN’s streaming offerings. It will also enable us to continue to question whether we should just go back to cable TV instead of keeping track of streaming catalogues.
