FedEx responds to The New York Times article from Nov. 17, 2019

November 17, 2019

Statement from FedEx

The New York Times article is a deliberate distortion of our company’s actions before and after tax reform. FedEx has paid federal income tax every year, including fiscal year 2018. Following passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), FedEx invested billions in capital items eligible for accelerated depreciation and made large contributions to our employee pension plans. These factors have temporarily lowered our federal income tax, which was the law’s intention to help grow GDP and generate investment in the U.S. The accelerated depreciation deductions are only temporary with higher depreciation and lower taxes early in the life of a new capital asset. This is then offset by lower depreciation and higher taxes later in that asset’s life. These temporary deductions FedEx received for capital investments are minimal compared to the overall impact the company has on the economy.

the beauty of free press. anyone can have right to say and to rebut and challenge.
read widely and decide what is your own version of truth

HP board unanimously rejects Xerox’s bid to acquire the company

NOV 17 2019

KEY POINTS
The board said the offer from Xerox undervalues HP and is not in the best interest of shareholders.

Xerox had offered HP $22 per share in its takeover bid for the company. The bid consists of 77% cash and 23% stock, or $17 in cash and 0.137 Xerox share for each HP share.

HP announced in October that it will cut between 7,000 and 9,000 jobs by the end of fiscal 2022 as part of a broader restructuring plan that it estimates will save $1 billion a year.

Had this been singapore, the board likely wld tell shareholders to accept offer. :s22:

The 4 Big U.S. Bank Stocks, Ranked In Order
November 15th, 2019
  • JPMorgan Chase & Company (JPM)
  • Bank of America (BAC)
  • Wells Fargo & Company (WFC)
  • Citigroup (C)

Final Thoughts
The big U.S. banks have come a long way from the Great Recession, when their very survival was in question. A decade removed from the Great Recession, the 4 major U.S. banks are on much firmer financial ground. JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup have returned to consistent profitability, with much stronger capital ratios and balance sheets.

The future outlook for the big banks as a whole remains positive, due to U.S. economic growth. As long as the economy stays out of a protracted downturn, investors should see these 4 companies continue to grow their earnings at a mid-to-high single-digit rate over the next several years. And, all 4 pay dividends with room for future dividend increases.

personally I like banks but they are not infallible. just keep watchlist on a few with big boys in them. u can be sure if they collapse, uncle sam will come save them. :s22:

THE HOME DEPOT ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS; UPDATES FISCAL YEAR 2019 GUIDANCE
Nov 19, 2019

"Our third quarter results reflected broad-based growth across our business, yet sales were below our expectations driven by the timing of certain benefits associated with our One Home Depot strategic investments," said Craig Menear, chairman, CEO and president. "We are largely on track with these investments and have seen positive results, but some of the benefits anticipated for fiscal 2019 will take longer to realize than our initial assumptions. As a result, today we are updating our fiscal 2019 sales guidance, and we are reaffirming our fiscal 2019 earnings-per-share guidance. We are encouraged by the momentum in our business as we invest to extend our competitive advantages. I would like to thank our associates for their hard work and continued dedication to our customers."

the alibaba hong kong which everyone is waiting for:s22:

Alibaba’s Hong Kong IPO has launched at US$24 a share – read the CEO’s full letter to interested buyers
November 15, 2019

Alibaba finally launched its second IPO on Friday (Nov 15) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Up to 50,000,000 shares for retail investors are up for grabs.

The maximum price of each share is HK$188 (US$24). The par value is US$0.000003125 per share.

Shares are sold in lots of 100, meaning any prospective buyer must be prepared to fork out at least HK$18,990.

CEO Daniel Zhang said in a letter to investors that the company had “missed out on Hong Kong with regret” during its first IPO in 2014.

“During this time of ongoing change, we continue to believe that the future of Hong Kong remains bright,” he added.

"regret" :s13::s8:
