Paramount stock pops on earnings, KKR to buy Simon & Schuster

Paramount (PARA) shares rose after reporting second quarter results that beat analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines. The company also announced private equity firm KKR (KKR) will be buying its Simon & Schuster business for $1.62 billion in an all-cash deal. Parrot Analytics PR & Communications Manager Wade Payson-Denney says the Simon & Schuster deal is "a sign of things to come" as companies look to offload linear or "old-school media arms." On the company's streaming business, Payson-Denney says "it's hard for us to see, really, how Paramount+ makes the jump to that top three streaming category that clearly Netflix, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery currently have a hold on."

    US trucking firm Yellow files for bankruptcy, blasts Teamsters

    (Reuters) -Some 30,000 workers at Yellow Corp were looking for jobs on Monday after the major trucking company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, potentially saddling U.S. taxpayers with losses from a government rescue of the long-troubled carrier. It laid blame for the bankruptcy, likely the largest ever for a U.S. trucking firm, at the feet of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union that represents about 22,000 of its employees. Teamsters leadership "was able to halt our business plan, literally driving our company out of business," Yellow CEO Darren Hawkins said in a statement late Sunday.

    This year started with a red-hot stock market, there is no question of that. Since the start of 2023, even accounting for losses last week, the S&P 500 shows a year-to-date gain of 17%, and the NASDAQ is up 33%. Currently, the gains are narrow, mainly relying on a handful of deep-pocketed, big-name tech firms, but there’s a likelihood that investor money will start spreading more widely. If the bull market does widen out, it will raise the question of which stocks to buy. This is where Goldman S
