“Happy TeslApple Day” — Tesla & Apple split their stocks. The Gap’s 1 hope. Abbott’s $5-15 minute Covid test.
In the rarest of moments in the universe, Tesla and Apple both decided to split their stocks today. The Gap basically became a fashionable facemask company last quarter, but its future depends on Athleta. And Abbott Labs stock jumped 8% last week not because of a vaccine, but because of “the $5 COVID credit card 15-minute” test. $TSLA $AAPL $GPS $ABT Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Apple should buy Warby Parker” — Walmart & Microsoft might adopt TikTok. Warby Parker hits $3B. Amazon’s 1st fitness gadget.
Since every company you know is trying to buy TikTok, an odd couple is trying to make it happen together: Walmart and Microsoft. Amazon is tired of looking at its Apple Watch, so it whipped up its first ever fitness gadget that has eyes and ears. And our “Unicorn of the Day” is Warby Parker, which we think would look really nice on Apple. $WMT $MSFT $AMZN $AAPL Want a shoutout on the pod?

We’re looking at Casper’s new CFO, who has 1 mission: Find profits under the mattress (even if that means changing Casper’s core identity). Urban Outfitters’ stock jumped 19% because it isn’t just faux-ironic t-shirts — it’s actually a smoothie of innovation. And Salesforce is the newest addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, so we jumped in Snacks Style to its fresh earnings report. $URBN $CSPR $CRM Want a shoutout on the pod?

Best Buy was left for dead by Wall Street, but now it’s living its best life. And Ball’s cans make it possible for you to consume sparkling anything, but its stock is trying to keep up with the aluminum-ification of everything. $BBY $BLL Want a shoutout on the pod?

Apple is now worth $2T and the S&P 500 hit a record high, despite the economy getting crushed. We’ve got the 3 reasons to explain why/how.
