Disney Earnings
Sonos Earnings
Thursday Q&A
We kick off today’s update with my thoughts on Disney earnings. We go over two major takeaways found with Disney’s paid video streaming service. The update then turns to Sonos earnings. We go over why Sonos is seeing momentum and how there is something noteworthy occurring in what we can call the niche tech hardware space. The email concludes with a new installment of Thursday Q&A. I answer the following questions from Above Avalon members:
How much of a concern is the North Dakota bill that was recently voted down that would have forced Apple to alter App Store strategy?
The sentiment surrounding Apple TV seems to have become quite negative in the Apple / tech pundit world. Do you think Apple is on a dead end road with the Apple TV box?
Can you go into more detail as to why you don’t think public companies should hold excess cash on the balance sheet?
