Canan turan/iStock via Getty Images Nextdoor Holdings, Inc. ( NXDR ) just reached a major inflection point in the turnaround of the local social business. The company's founder has spent the last year rebuilding the platform while restraining growth and Nextdoor finally reported the fruit of that work. My investment thesis remains ultra bullish on the stock due to the cheap valuation and the return to double-digit growth. Source: Finviz Long Awaited Inflection As the founding CEO undertook the implementation of the new platform last year, Nextdoor pulled back on prioritizing customer acquisition and monetization. The goal was to purely focus on improving the platform before unleashing efforts to recruit users back and boost advertisers. The local social company just returned to growth mode via a big revenue beat in Q1'26. Revenues reached $62 million , nearly $4 million above analyst estimates. Nextdoor cut the adjusted EBITDA losses to a very minimal $0.2 million in the March quarter. Nextdoor officially is back in growth mode with platform weekly active users (WAUs) up 1.3 million sequentially. The number is still only 22.3 million versus a verified neighbor user base topping 110 million and a general user base that interacted with emails up above 46 million when the company shifted to reporting the platform metric. Source: Nextdoor Q1'26 presentation The company is combining the user growth with a booming self-serve ad business tied to local small businesses. Nextdoor grew this ad business by 28% YoY to reach 68% of total revenues. Note, WAUs only grew 1% YoY, so the company has the potential to top this strong self-serve ad growth with meaningful user growth in future quarters to elevate the growth rate. The platform provides a great opportunity for neighbors to find and interact with local businesses. The company is now leaning into higher-quality content using AI to sort posts to focus on the highest-quality content, especially that from professional sources. ...

As he plays a dodgy sheriff in Ben Wheatley’s Normal, Odenkirk will be here to answer your inquiries about a remarkable career that has taken him from Wayne’s World to Saturday Night Live and The Bear Bob Odenkirk has achieved one of the more improbable small-to-big screen transitions in recent years. He was only meant to stick around for four episodes as shady lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. Instead, creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould liked what they saw and he became a series regular – and, after that, the unlikely centre of Better Call Saul, widely regarded as one of the finest spin-offs ever made. In 2021, he then popped up as a mild-mannered family man turned bone-crunching action hero in Nobody, a role for which he buffed up for two years. Released during Covid, Nobody was unexpectedly successful, leading to a sequel. Now he’s testing his knack for making deeply questionable characters oddly endearing by playing a dodgy small-town sheriff in Ben Wheatley’s new film, Normal, alongside Henry Winkler as the town mayor.

Pressure is growing on government to act on legal threats designed to ‘harass and intimidate’ opponents Verity Nevitt was just 21, a student living away from home for the first time, when she learned she and her twin sister, Lucy, were going to be sued in the high court. Someone knocked on the door of her London house share with a big bundle of papers and asked her to sign for them. A year earlier, the sisters had reported a man to the police, accusing him of sexually assaulting Verity and then, after she had left the house, raping Lucy. When the case was dropped by police, they decided to name him on social media, in order to warn others. The man responded by suing them for misuse of private information, harassment and eventually defamation. Continue reading...
