mechanick/iStock via Getty Images Introduction AST SpaceMobile ( ASTS ) is a broadband service provider that leverages the use of satellite technology to deliver 5G speed to cellular phones from anywhere on Earth. The company has started generating noncore revenue, but is trading with a $45 billion market capitalization. Investors are banking on a complete fleet of satellites to be launched and active by the end of the year. From there, it’s clear that investors will expect the company to begin ramping up serious financial growth. While AST SpaceMobile management has projected a rosy picture, my utilization of unit economics to reconstruct the financial model points to a less-than-ideal outcome. How the Business Works Once the company’s satellite fleet is active, cellular customers will be able to connect to the satellite service to make phone calls, send texts, stream videos, etc. This is especially convenient for customers who live in areas where cell service is difficult or experience connectivity problems during travel. One requirement for consumers to be able to connect is that their mobile network operator (MNO) needs to have an agreement in place with AST for them to connect. As of the third quarter, AST had agreements with MNOs covering 3 billion subscribers . While the details of each agreement are unknown, we know that they are revenue-sharing agreements where the carrier and AST split the proceeds from the customer who buys the service through their carrier. In one specific case, the agreement AST signed with Vodafone called for a 50/50 revenue share . By agreeing to do revenue sharing with the carriers, AST is reducing its need to conduct marketing and relying on the carrier to offer coverage directly to its customers. The First Issue: Making Deadlines for Contractual Revenue AST headlined $1 billion in contractual revenue to start its third-quarter earnings release. This would give the implication that the company is expected to collect $1 billion over ...

乔希・达马罗获任迪士尼新任首席执行官 现年 54 岁的达马罗近期担任 迪士尼 体验业务主席，该部门业务涵盖主题公园、邮轮度假及消费品板块。 迪士尼公司 2 月 3 日宣布，拥有 28 年迪士尼任职经历、深耕主题公园领域但在影视业务方面经验有限的乔希・达马罗，将接替罗伯特・艾格出任公司首席执行官。这场历时近三年的首席执行官遴选工作至此落下帷幕。 迪士尼董事会已全票通过达马罗的任命。他将于 3 月 18 日迪士尼年度股东大会召开之日正式履职，同时将加入公司董事会。 54 岁的达马罗目前执掌的迪士尼体验业务，年营收达 360 亿美元，业务范围包括主题公园、邮轮度假，以及含电子游戏在内的消费品业务。去年，该部门为迪士尼贡献了约 60% 的利润。 迪士尼董事会主席詹姆斯・戈尔曼在声明中表示，达马罗兼具 “富有感召力的领导力与创新精神，对战略增长机遇有着敏锐的洞察力，同时对迪士尼品牌及其员工抱有深厚的热忱 —— 这些特质让他成为执掌公司的最佳人选”。 迪士尼同时宣布提拔达娜・沃尔登为公司总裁兼首席创意官，该任命同样于 3 月 18 日生效。61 岁的沃尔登此前是迪士尼核心电视业务（不含娱乐与体育电视网 ESPN）的负责人，同时分管流媒体业务。迪士尼方面称，其职责将包括确保 “所有用户触点上的故事创作与创意表达，均始终贴合迪士尼的品牌内核”。 沃尔登也由此成为迪士尼 103 年发展史上首位集团层面的首席创意官。 迪士尼的此次管理层交接筹备工作始于 2022 年。彼时，艾格在 2020 年搞砸首次接班规划后，再度结束退休生涯重掌迪士尼。本次接班规划由迪士尼外部人士、资深华尔街银行家戈尔曼主导。2024 年，为应对激进投资者的抨击，艾格邀请戈尔曼加入迪士尼董事会，其中激进投资者纳尔逊・佩尔茨曾严厉批评迪士尼的接班规划工作十分草率。 尽管迪士尼也曾考虑过外部候选人，但最终的遴选范围锁定在四位内部高管之中，分别是达娜・沃尔登、迪士尼影视业务负责人艾伦・伯格曼、ESPN 负责人吉米・皮塔罗，以及乔希・达马罗。这四位高管谁将最终登顶，一直是好莱坞关注的焦点，而长期以来，沃尔登被视作最有希望的人选。 迪士尼历来存在管理层交接不顺的问题。艾格首次出任迪士尼首席执行官时，其前任迈克尔・艾斯纳曾执意留任，最终交出去的是一家陷入困境的公司。而在艾格此前长达 15 年的首席执行官任期内，他曾四次推迟退休...

Vowles said he did not expect Williams to be able to challenge at the front this season. They have retained the same drivers, with British-Thai Alex Albon partnered by Spaniard Carlos Sainz. Albon finished eighth in the 2025 drivers' championship, one place and nine points ahead of Sainz, who managed two third-placed finishes in Azerbaijan and Qatar. "We want to establish 2025 as our new base and keep moving forward year on year across the board and across the business," he said. "There are some bits of the car that are absolutely championship level. And there's other bits where we have a long way to go before we're there, including just getting the car built and finished as a polished article. That doesn't lead to podiums or wins." Vowles said he had been impressed by the amount of running completed by Ferrari and the Red Bull teams. Red Bull were running the first engine produced by their new in-house facility, and he said Mercedes "came out of the box strong". He also became the latest rival to shower praise on the design of the new Aston Martin, their first car under the leadership of design legend Adrian Newey. "I wouldn't want to be a designer in Aston Martin. That's a very impressive set of wishbones on that car. Really, really intrinsic or interesting design." Mercedes driver George Russell made the same observation at their official launch on Monday. "What Adrian has done with that car, it looks pretty spectacular," Russell said. "Aston Martin was probably the most standout in terms of the car design. I think everybody was looking at that rear suspension and it obviously visually looks very impressive. But it's not a competition of how sexy it is. It's a competition how fast it goes around the track."

vandervliet93/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Baird turned constructive on FedEx Corporation ( FDX ) on its view that the stock has been working and can continue to work as improving parcel fundamentals and the freight spin make the stock uniquely attractive in a market looking for cyclical exposure. The firm hiked its rating on the shipping giant to Outperform and set a new price target of $427 after updating the sum of the parts framework. Analyst David Vernon and his team see improved margins for the parcel business after the spinoff to a range of 7% to 9%, bolstered by domestic capacity reductions and signs the company is getting serious about improving the Europe performance. "We think FDX will guide to +200bps of margin expansion in the Express company at its investor day next week and speak to continuing share gains in the small package market. If that is right, then the business could show $21-27 of earnings power," highlighted Vernon. Per the Baird math, the current valuation on FDX does not reflect the full value of the LTL Freight business. Shares of FedEx ( FDX ) rallied 2.0% in premarket trading on Tuesday to $342.00.

Disney has unveiled Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO, drawing a line under a bungled succession at the top of the global entertainment conglomerate. Bob Iger, who led the media giant for 15 years, stepped down in 2020 – only to abruptly return in 2022 when his handpicked successor, Bob Chapek, was fired as the company came under pressure. D’Amaro has been chairman of the Disney’s experiences since 2020, running its theme parks and cruise ships – effectively the same job as Chapek before his ill-fated stint as CEO of the company. On Tuesday, Iger hailed D’Amaro as “an exceptional leader and the right person to become our next CEO”. Six years ago, when Chapek was named as his first successor, Iger declared at the time that he had “proven himself exceptionally qualified to lead the company into its next century”. D’Amaro will take up the job in March, Disney said. It also announced that Dana Walden, co-chairman of its entertainment division, who had been in the running to be CEO, would become president and chief creative officer. Disney is one of the biggest media and entertainment empires in the world, having acquired Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and most of 21st Century Fox under Iger. Valued at $185bn, it also has a vast tourism business, built around its resorts and ships, and a sprawling digital media arm. While Disney+ reported a surge in profits from its streaming services – Disney+, Hulu and ESPN – earlier this week, it unnerved investors by warning of “headwinds” among international visitors to its US theme parks. Earnings generated by its wider entertainment division also slumped after it spent heavily to promote box office hits like Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash. D’Amaro said: “I am immensely grateful to the board for entrusting me with leading a company that means so much to me and millions around the world. Disney’s strength has always come from our people and the creative excellence that defines our stories and experiences. “There is no limit to what Disney...

Apple hasn't been able to match the leading tech companies recently. Once a cutting-edge growth stock, Apple (AAPL +4.12%) has slowed considerably in recent years. If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock five years ago, you'd now have $2,020, including the dividends you would have received. An equal investment in the S&P 500 would've done about the same, totaling $2,010. Apple's return has more or less matched the stock market's over the last five years. In part, this is because Apple was already one of the largest publicly traded companies five years ago, with a market cap of $2.3 trillion. Growth tends to slow as companies get bigger. You can still get reasonable returns from large-cap stocks, but if you're looking for explosive growth potential, you're more likely to find it by investing in mid-cap stocks and small-cap stocks. The trade-off is that investing in these companies often carries more risk. However, Apple hasn't been as cutting-edge recently either. One of its most recent new products, the Apple Vision Pro, suffered from poor sales, according to analyst firm IDC. And while other tech companies have impressed with artificial intelligence (AI) developments, Apple Intelligence has had a slow rollout. Last month, Apple chose to power its AI models with Google Gemini.

(RTTNews) - Quanterix Corporation (QTRX) on Tuesday said it has submitted a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a multi-analyte algorithmic blood test to detect Alzheimer's disease (AD). The test is designed to help determine if patients with memory or thinking problems have amyloid brain plaques, a key sign of Alzheimer's, using a simple blood sample. Quanterix said it provides a more comprehensive assessment of the biological factors of Alzheimer's disease than traditional single-analyte assays. The multi-analyte test had previously received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA. Quanterix shares rose 2.5% to close at $6.50 on Monday.

LewisTsePuiLung/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Baird Equity Research on Tuesday upgraded JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) shares to Neutral from Underperform, pointing to both the bank's fourth-quarter earnings beat and an improved risk/reward profile. The lender's Q4 results were largely bolstered by lower-than-expected operating expenses and better net interest income, although there were some pockets of weakness, including disappointing investment banking fees. "Q425 PPNR trends remain solid against a high bar during earnings season, as solid fee trends and NII improvement (NIM/loan growth) outpaced expenses, with credit/capital trends declining modestly but remain healthy," analyst David George wrote in a note. On the valuation front, JPM has lagged regional banking stocks this year -- -4.4% YTD vs. ( KRE ) +8.1% -- making it hard to "make the short case for a best-in-class franchise," George wrote. Trading at around 2.95 times tangible book value, George believes the stock is "still relatively expensive" and "we would not recommend adding shares at current prices but see less upside to maintaining a short position ahead of potential bank deregulation." Seeking Alpha's Quant system gives JPMorgan ( JPM ) a poor valuation grade of D-. JPM shares edged up 0.3% in premarket trading. Baird's Neutral rate compares with the average SA analyst rating and the average Wall Street analyst rating, both at Buy, and the Quant rating of Hold.
