For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL—February 10, 2017—Zacks Friday Finish Line is a podcast hosted weekly by Zacks Editor Maddy Johnson and Content Writer Ryan McQueeney that takes on the week’s biggest news from the financial and investment world.
Trump Squares Off With Nordstrom, Disney and Twitter Post Mixed Earnings
On today’s episode of the Zacks Friday Finish Line podcast, Content Writer Ryan McQueeney and Editor Maddy Johnson take on this week’s biggest stories, including how President Donald Trump has sent gold prices and Nordstrom stock soaring, as well as the mixed earnings results of Disney and Twitter.
Gold
The hosts kicked off the episode by taking a look at the latest Trump-related stories. The financial markets are still trying to figure out how to feel about the Trump presidency, but one of the biggest gainers since his election has been gold. Uncertainty is in the air, and that normally means prices of the precious metal are going to go up.
Nordstrom
Maddy and Ryan also took a look at President Trump’s recent clash with Nordstrom (JWN - Free Report) . The POTUS clashed with the company after the clothing retailer decided to stop selling his daughter Ivanka’s brand. Nordstrom maintains that the decision was due to weak sales, but Trump has said Ivanka has been treated “unfairly.”
Disney
Finally, the hosts discussed some of the marquee earnings reports from the week. One report that garnered a lot of investor retention was that of Disney (DIS - Free Report) . While there was certainly some good news in Disney’s report, investors were slightly disappointed with the results from its Media Networks division and the continued struggles at ESPN.
Twitter
Maddy and Ryan also echoed the frustration that many investors had towards Twitter’s latest report. The struggling social media once again posted mediocre revenues and user growth, sending its stock tumbling on Thursday.
