Twitter Update

Hey there! Due to the recent policy changes implemented by Twitter, I regret to inform you that FinBrowser is currently unable to display any new Tweets. I know this might be disappointing, as Twitter is a valuable source of information and updates for many of us. However, I want to assure you that I am actively working on finding alternative solutions and exploring ways to reintegrate Twitter sources into this website. I appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of transition.

There are 165.3 million credit card accounts in the United States, with an average debt of $5,733 per borrower. That's a total of $917 billion! Credit card rates over the last three months have averaged 20.09%, which is a significant rise from pre-COVID levels of about 15%.

Great framework by @petergyang for evaluating generative AI startups, with the growing hype, as I have seen dozens of such startups so far, and only invested in one. Not every startup / business with Gen AI is truly revolutionary. Go back to basics and evaluate what problem is…

@Invesquotes Agree Hard to do the comparisons with segments when disclosure is not there.

Leandro
@IrnestKaplan They share the peer group and that’s our job as analysts but sometimes information is not easily reachable and it’s hard to compare apples to apples due to segment disparity

@Invesquotes Nice to see a comparison with peers But I think that’s our job as analysts. Also, they might cherry pick the peer group to slant the result in their favour.

Two things companies should include more often in their filings: 1) Financial comparisons against peers 2) Comparison of CEO pay to shareholder value creation to show if the compensation structure is aligned with shareholders $ITW does both

@IrnestKaplan @databricks Using Unity now you can discover data kept in HMS and avoid having to use multiple catalog/MDR products. In the past these were disjoint and now databricks eliminates the gap. This also creates centralized place now to apply sec policies, compliance, see the lineage, etc.,

Crowdstrike and SentinelOne used to be serial competitors. However, I'd argue that this macro env. has further drifted them apart. Below are some quick notes from their recent earnings, but I want to go into more depth on the factors leading to this divergence in this thread:
