Levi’s Outlook for Revenue Growth And Margin Opportunities Appear Intact: Morgan Stanley

By Dorothea 3 days ago

Levi Strauss & Co, an American clothing company known worldwide for its Levi’s brand of denim jeans, warned after its net revenue plunged over 60% in the second quarter that the effect of the coronavirus would negatively impact their businesses even in the second half of this year.

Net revenue declined 62% to $497.5 million, largely due to the temporary closure of company-operated, franchise and wholesale customer retail locations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the company’s e-commerce business which grew 25% for the quarter, with sequential month-over-month acceleration to nearly 80% growth for May, the company said.

The company recorded a net loss for the quarter of $364 million and an adjusted net loss of $192 million. Gross margin decreased 19.2 percentage points on a reported basis to 34.1%. Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $206 million.

The company also said that it

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and similar instruments such as exchange-traded notes (ETNs) have typically been the best strategies for long-term investment. Even generic funds such as SPY (which tracks the S&P 500 index) earned investors an average annual return of 10-11% since mid-20th century. An even greater revenue (around 15%) can be earned from specialized funds such as RPG, whose basket only includes stocks from companies with high growth rates.

However, COVID-19 has changed this. The indices plummeted in February and March, and, even though they have mostly recovered by now, they have not earned their investors significant profits yet. On the other hand, the pandemic has also caused the stock prices of many companies to rise, as the demand for their products increased. This was true of some ETFs as well, as they

Mark Wahlberg Expands Dealership Business With Buick-GMC Store

By Dorothea 1 week ago

It’s across the street from the Chevy dealership he owns.

Over the last few years, Mark Wahlberg has expanded his resume from actor to businessman. He has Wahlburgers, a string of casual burger joints and bars, works with a health and wellness company, and owns a Chevy dealership in Columbus, Ohio. Today, his business empire is expanding with another dealership purchase – a Buick-GMC operation right across the street from his Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet shop, according to Automotive News.

Wahlberg’s expanding business operations also include an Airstream and RV dealership in the same city. It’s been renamed as Mark Wahlberg Airstream & RV, and we’re sorry if you were expecting a different name. If Wahlberg’s new purchases are like his Chevy dealership, there’ll likely be a large “W” logo, the same signature signage on his restaurants, letting the world know who owns it.
