  • Why Impossible Foods CEO is backing Nathan’s hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut

    Why Impossible Foods CEO is backing Nathan’s hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut
    Jul 5 2024
    Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Editor Brian Sozzi goes inside the future of the plant-based food industry with Impossible Foods CEO Peter McGuinness. McGuinness shares potential outcomes for his business, and why he is backing hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut. The plant-based food industry burst onto the scene more than a decade ago thanks to a battle between then new upstarts Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Each company raced to secure deals with fast-food giants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Beyond Meat had a glitzy IPO, while Impossible Foods continued to raise large sums of money at impressive valuations. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and consumers began to rethink their commitment to meat alternatives. Consumers questioned the healthiness of the ingredients in the products. At the same time, the products continued to be higher priced relative to traditional forms of meat. Against the backdrop of prolonged inflation, consumers have shunned these more expensive products. Beyond Meat’s stock has crashed, and Impossible Foods hasn’t ruled out a sale to a larger food company. So what’s the end game here? Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world. Executive Editor Brian Sozzi puts Wall Street's finest through their paces in this essential conversation for every investor - before the stock market opens.

  • Market can keep climbing this 'wall of worry': Bradesco BBI's Ben Laidler

    Market can keep climbing this 'wall of worry': Bradesco BBI's Ben Laidler
    Jul 1 2024
    Ask most investors and they'll say they've had a great year. The S&P 500 is up double-digits. Nvidia’s stock has captivated the masses amid its epic gains, and corporate profits continue to rock as the economy chugs along. Some would even argue the stock market is in melt-up mode, and could continue with those vibes for a while barring a heavy dose of cold water. The bulls may be ignoring a large bucket slowly starting to pour out cold water, however, in the form of a heated presidential contest between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The outcome of the election could have major ramifications for sectors like autos to an average American seeking to keep their taxes low. So how does one prepare their wealth to head into this eye of the storm? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Bradesco BBI head of equity strategy Ben Laidler. Ben says "the pillars of this bull market are not dependent on the politics". 00:00-Ben Laidler on Opening Bid 2:00-Has the market accepted Trump? 8:15-China and global market analysis 13:00-Nvidia and tech 16:20-Market FOMO (fear of missing out) Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Opening Bid at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/opening-bid/.

    Why the Trump/Biden presidential debate debacle isn’t shaking investor confidence
    Jun 28 2024
    Newsflash to the people that love investing in Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Netflix (NFLX), Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN) and Nvidia (NVDA). We can confirm there ARE other great tech companies to invest in! They may not garner Nvidia like headlines and visions of $10 trillion valuations, but names such as Hubspot (HUBS), Micron (MU) and other under the radar names offer up great potential opportunities. In fact, in many cases these companies are poised to cash in on the AI arms race just the same as Nvidia. So how do you find these best of breed tech companies in a sea of hype? And what should you be doing with tech stocks more broadly into a heated presidential election cycle? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Goldman Sachs Asset Management portfolio manager Brook Dane to dive into the world of the world’s most volatile, lesser known tech stocks.
