But now, I think, as I'm a public figure, people know my face, I can go meet more VCs, LPs, you know who might be interested in investing larger sums of capital and they have a face that they can put behind, and a name so they can do their due diligence."

Walmart (WMT) announced a $2.3 billion deal to buy TV manufacturer Vizio (VZIO) as the company moves to bolster its digital advertising and media business. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Walmart CFO John David Rainey spoke on the deal, saying "It allows us to use their operating system ... to provide a new channel to actually provide better service to our customers and connect to them with data." DoubleVerify (DV) CEO Mark Zagorski joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the deal and how it can be used to boost Walmart's media business and stand out against competition. Zagorski comments on risks in the deal and what the deal can accomplish for Walmart: "The risk always is, there's other assets there that have to deal with Vizio as a set manufacturer. I don't think Vizio makes a lot of money off the actual devices themselves. Where they're making money off of is data. You're going to have to carry that device business to get the data out of it... If you look at linear TV ad spend, it's declining every year, connected TV ad spend is only growing, and combining that with the retail data that they're getting from their online transactions, their store transactions, putting that together with the CTV business, CTV data business, it's a powerful combo."

The commercial real estate sector had a rough year in 2023 compounded by the regional bank shakeup. The sector has had to adapt to surging mortgage rates, volatile markets, and changing work setups for office employees. Commercial real estate could still bounce back on stabilizing certainty in markets and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Marcus & Millichap (MMI) CEO Hessam Nadji joins Yahoo Finance to discuss why he believes the "worst of it" is behind the commercial real estate sector and why he believes investors should be cautiously optimistic going forward in the sector. Nadji affirms his stance: "As interest rates either settle or start to come in, either one by the way, the industry doesn't need interest rates to come in that much to basically get going again. It's the variability from week-to-week of where the interest rate movement is going to be that's creating an obstacle for the business. Once that happens and the price adjustments continue, I don't think we're done... seeing the full effect of the interest rate shock. I think we're more than halfway there. So within the next couple of quarters, we think that price discovery will have run its course and there will be more certainly related to revaluing commercial real estate in this higher interest rate environment. And that will bring a lot more activity to the market. So is the worse is it of it behind us? Yes, I'm confident that it is."

Walmart (WMT) stock reaches a record high intraday on Tuesday after the retailer reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings results. E-commerce sales jumped 23% year-over-year, beating estimates on both revenue and earnings year-over-year. Walmart CFO John David Rainey joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the drivers behind the strong performance. Rainey says holiday spending fueled sales, with "the two biggest sales days" occurring right before Christmas. Over the quarter, Walmart "gained share in almost every category," showing customers are increasingly shopping at Walmart as the company enhances how it serves them. Another headline for the big-box chain is its plans to acquire TV manufacturer Vizio (VZIO) for $2.3 billion, after Walmart's "fast-growing, high margin" advertising business grew by 33% in the past quarter. Rainey explains the deal will allow Walmart to "connect and serve customers in different ways" by leveraging data to improve experiences. While consumers show discretion around bigger purchases, Rainey says Walmart's "omnichannel retail model" with robust in-store and online distribution "is really resonating with customers" as they shop more frequently. As inflation persists, Walmart wants to provide value through lower prices, working with suppliers, and fine-tuning its own personal brands. However, Rainey notes "it's hard to generalize" where price pressures occur across categories.

Shares of Walmart (WMT) move higher Tuesday morning after the big-box retailer posted fourth-quarter earnings results, showing quarterly revenue gains of 6% compared to the previous year. This figure was further supported by a 23% gain in e-commerce sales. Additionally, the company announced it has entered a deal to acquire Vizio (VZIO) for $2.5 billion. TD Cowen Senior Research Analyst Oliver Chen joins Yahoo Finance to discuss Walmart's earnings, the potential Vizio deal, and how it can impact Walmart's business going forward. Explaining why Walmart's deal with Vizio can be big for the company, Chen says: "There is a marketplace opportunity in terms of third-party selling [and] there's also a big digital advertising opportunity. And Vizio Connect will help enable this given that they have an operating system that already has about 18 million members, of a Smartcast system, and this will help accelerate digital advertising, which is a very, very high-margin business. 70%-plus margins, as we model it, and it's growing at 30%. So digital advertising is the future of Walmart and we see this as a tech company, as well. That's why it is one of our big ideas."
