“It’s like an invisible smart fridge” — Snowflake’s broken IPO. Facebook’s Ray-Ban deal. NextEra’s renewable monopoly.
Snowflake’s business is kind of boring, but their IPO reveals everything that’s wrong with IPOs right now. Facebook is whipping up a Zuck-free Ray-Ban partnership to win Wearables. And NextEra is now the most valuable utility stock in the USA thanks to renewable energy and a hint of monopoly. $SNOW $NEE $FB Got a SnackFact?

“Wonder Woman snitches on Mulan” — Disney’s secret numbers. Goldman’s build-vs-buy. Amazon’s suburban dream.
We still don’t have the numbers on Disney’s experiment sending Mulan direct-to-living-rooms instead of theaters – but we still figured out it was probably a failure. Goldman Sachs acquired a startup that reveals when to build or when to buy. And Amazon’s having fun in cities, but it’s also buying up 1,000 strategic locations in the suburbs. $GS $DIS $AMZN Want a shoutout on the pod?

“No Watch? No weights.” — Apple’s Fitness+ unveil. Opendoor’s home-flipping SPAC. Carnival’s $1B life jacket.
We’ll be honest with you, Snackers — the big Apple event was kinda boring… except for a brand new fitness club they just unveiled for Club Apple. “Unicorn of the Day” Opendoor is going public via SPAC because it can flip homes at scale. And Carnival Cruise’s stock plummeted because it’s grabbing a $1B life jacket at the worst (and most costly) moment. $AAPL $CCL $IPOC Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Zuck Zucks Facebook” — American Eagle vs. Aerie. Phase 3 COVID vaccines. Facebook’s newest social network.
American Eagle’s stock jumped 4% because it’s less ath, more leisure. AstraZeneca and the other pharma companies are entering a key moment: Phase 3 trials for the COVID vaccine. And Facebook’s newest social network is the exact same as its first ever social network… college only (we’re calling it “TheFacebook”). $AEO $AZN $FB Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Ghosted at the $16B wedding” — Louis Vuitton breaks up with Tiffany’s. Google’s Chromebooks kid strategy. Slack’s schlep moment.
That multi-billion dollar merger between Tiffany and luxury legend LVMH just got called off, but we’re questioning the excuse. Google’s Chromebooks are the back-to-school item getting snatched up by schools. And Slack stock fell 15% yesterday because we think it’s way more of a schlep than Zoom is. $WORK $TIF $GOOG Want a shoutout on the pod?

“The tech stock white whale” — Softbank’s big Nasdaq money. Nikola surges 40% on GM investment. Boeing’s business class dreams
Tesla-challenger Nikola just saw its stock jump 40% because it’s marrying an older, wealthier life partner: GM. Just a year after jacking up private tech valuations, turns out Softbank is doing the same thing now to publicly-traded tech stocks. And Boeing has itself a cancelation problem because business class’ future is uncertain in the age of Zoom. $NKLA $GM $SFTBY $BA Want a shoutout on the pod?
