Decline in gasoline demand a ‘noticeable’ and ‘permanent change,’ says analyst
A decline in gasoline consumption in the U.S. could be a trend that’s here to stay, according to one analyst. “There has been a noticeable, and I believe permanent, change toward lower gasoline demand,” Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil Associates told Yahoo Finance. The analyst noted that demand peaked between 2017 and 2019 at just over 9.3 million barrels per day, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The lockdowns during the pandemic impacted demand in 2020 and 2021. However 2022’s level was down 0.5{9f99fe44fce1aa3c813d0a0ce4da2fbea8a5a58e9d85c4a2927dd8140cb676b5} from the prior year.

Salesforce (CRM) on Wednesday shocked the heck out of Wall Street — and, probably, the five hungry activist investors clamoring for changes at the Marc Benioff-led software giant. Leaders at Salesforce dropped several bombs on a late Wednesday earnings call that could reset the negative narrative swirling around the company’s flagging stock price. A disbanding of the M&A committee that has been driving costly purchases of names like Slack and MuleSoft. Promises to hit 30{9f99fe44fce1aa3c813d0a0ce4da2fbea8a5a58e9d85c4a2927dd8140cb676b5} operating margins by early 2024, up from mid- to high-20s currently. And the reveal of a new $20 billion stock buyback. Benioff was in good spirits — and clearly focused on margin improvement — when…

Warner Bros. Discovery’s franchise-first strategy to come down to execution: Analyst
Will Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) be able to execute on its Disney-esque, franchise-first strategy? Needham analyst Laura Martin, who claimed Warner Bros. Discovery may be “the new Disney” in a note following the company’s fourth quarter earnings results last week, doubled down on that stance in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live. “What I think Disney (DIS) has demonstrated very successfully over the last decade — which is what Warner Bros. Discovery is now saying — is we want to have film franchises and we want to expand them into consumer products and into video games and into consumer merchandise,” Martin said on Monday, referencing the company’s goal to have…

Walmart, Home Depot raised wages, analyst calls it a ‘no brainer’ for long-term value
Big box retailers — and big-time employers — in the U.S. recently announced plans to increase their minimum wage. In Home Depot’s (HD) Q4 earnings results this week, the company announced an additional $1 billion investment in wage increases.
