Good evening!

As the saying goes, “one Alphabet deal closes, and another one opens” or something like that…

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

1.  📉 Tesla Profits Are Down 45% YoY

Not a great day for Tesla shareholders. The company said it earned $1.48 billion in net income on $25.5 billion in revenue – a 2% increase year-over-year from $24.9 billion in revenue in Q2 2023, but a 45% drop in net income.

2. 🤩 A New Innovative Marketing Strategy?

3. 🚗 Alphabet is Investing Another $5B in Waymo

Alphabet said it would spend an additional $5 billion on Waymo, its self-driving subsidiary, during its second-quarter earnings call. The new multi-year investment will “enable Waymo to continue to build the world’s leading autonomous driving technology company," or whatever that corporate jargon means.

4.  💰 This Old Strategy Still Prints $$$

While you're spending precious marketing dollars interrupting people's IG scrolling, trying to convince them to be interested in your product... thousands (if not tens of thousands) of already-interested people are searching for your product/service on Google, ready to buy!

FIRST CLASS ADS will help you capture that demand ASAP with highly profitable Google Ad strategies backed by $50,000,000+ in revenue driven for clients.

5. 💀 Google Ended $23B Wiz Deal

Meanwhile, Alphabet won’t spend money on Waymo. The Google parent has ended talks with Israeli cybersecurity startup Wiz on a proposed $23 billion deal. The purchase would’ve been Alphabet’s largest-ever acquisition, but Wiz is now focusing on an IPO and growing to $1 billion in annual revenue.

6.  📦 UPS Stock Had Its Worst Day

In case you didn’t know, you can buy shares of UPS (United Parcel Service). But you might not want to now. Shares plummeted 13% after the shipping giant’s earnings fell way below analysts’ expectations.

7.  🏚️ 39% of Americans Can’t Make Ends Meet

A new CNN poll found that nearly 4 in 10 (39%) of U.S. adults say they worry most or all of the time that their family’s income won’t be enough to meet expenses. To put things into perspective, it’s similar to numbers seen during the Great Recession (37%).

Bonus. CEO Tip Of The Day

Here are four key takeaways from Ed Catmull, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation: you must throw away good work, watch out for the danger of falling in love for your work, get out of your office to do research, and you must feed the beast.
