Betting big
Viacom is dipping its toes into the waters of sports betting, as it [announced a partnership]( between its CBS Sports property and betting operator William Hill. The deal itself had not been disclosed, but sources say itâs a multiyear agreement and will kick in before the kick-off of next yearâs NFL season.
Fine print
Further details of the deal include William Hill paying a fee to CBS, in order to access its audience of over 80M people and place [sponsored content]( across CBSâs platforms. William Hillâs goal, and you know they have one, is to get CBS Sports users to download its app and put money into betting accounts. Again, not surprising.
More of the same
While a deal like this might seem like a big step towards public acceptance of gambling, (your uncle who lost his kidâs college money in Atlantic City excluded) CBS could be considered late to the game.
AT&T, Fox, and even Disney are placing their bets on sports gambling. That, combined with the recent acquisition of 36% of Barstool by Penn National Gaming for $163M, show how late CBS might have actually been. They were still putting their pads on in momâs minivan while the rest of the players were already on to tackling drills.
The bottom line...
Sports gambling is a risky business. And not just for someone waiting on both payday and the Hawks to cover the second half. While in [2018](, the Supreme Court cleared the way for legal sports betting, 30 more states still have to sign on.
Sure, companies can pair up and make it easier than ever to gamble your mortgage on a Big Sky tournament basketball game, but a majority of the target audience resides in states where itâs still illegal. Good news if you happen to run an off-shore gambling ring.

âï¸Deal or no deal⦠Can you close the deal now? Good. Sprint stock rose a very nice 69% in after-hours trading Monday following a report that a US District judge [is expected to approve]( the $26.5B with T-Mobile. This approval would end the nearly two-year discussion as to whether the deal between the number 3 and 4 wireless providers would vastly limit the number of options consumers have when choosing a wireless carrier (spoiler: it would), and raise prices for customers.
Sprint wasnât the only company to benefit, as T-mobileâs stock rose *checks notes* 8% in after-market trading.
âï¸Ups and downs Slack stock had one helluva day, rising enough that [trading was halted]( when reports came out that IBM would make Slack its sole communications provider. Shares surged more than 15% on the news, as it guaranteed Slack Slack would have 350k more daily active users.
The only problem⦠was the minor detail that IBM was already Slackâs largest customer and has been for several years. The reality was that 300k of IBMâs employees already had access, and it was looking to expand that to the remaining 50k. Slackâs stock came back down to earth in after-hours trading, falling 7.27%. Hey, still up on the day. Not bad for a dayâs $WORK.
âï¸Seeing green, and I ain't talking spinach Allow me to reintroduce myself. The return of Popeyeâs chicken sandwich [had a big impact]( on the number of in-store fights but restaurant sales as well (who knew...). Restaurant Brands, the parent company of Popeyes and Burger King, topped EPS estimates (75 cents to 73 cents) and revenue projections ($1.48B to $1.46B).
Popeyeâs same-store sales grew by 34% during Q4, which was the same quarter that the chicken sandwich was permanently brought back to the menu (November)... Coincidence? The sandwich was originally brought back in August but sold out before the monthâs end. Restaurant Brands (QSR for some reason?) rose 2.74% on the day.
âï¸Mallrats
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Really, not a single soul:
David Simon: âF*ck it, letâs buy another mall.â
Simon Property Group [has chosen to expand]( its mall empire and buy rival Tauban Centers. The $3.6B deal comes weeks after Simon announced plans to contribute to a bankruptcy purchase of Forever 21 for $81M. This man must be stopped.
In an era where many mall landlords (Paul Blart?) are shedding debt and closing weaker locations, Simon has seemingly chosen to build his portfolio and rescue crucial tenants that might just be down on their luck. Some investors speculate that this deal may mean that mall owner share prices are nearing a bottom.
