This Is When Amazing Companies Are Born

The Motley Fool
About this episode

While some tech companies announce lay-offs, others are posting blowout earnings.

(00:21) Deidre Woollard and Tim Beyers discuss:

- How a decrease in consumer spending is hitting SaaS companies in unexpected ways.

- Why The Trade Desk is thriving in a tough environment. - A “cautious” view on tech layoffs (and why we aren’t hitting the panic button). - Why Walmart might join the streaming wars. - A brilliant, tiny company that’s not getting enough attention from investors.

Plus, (15:00) Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger look at how companies are managing their share count, and one homebuilder that’s outperformed Amazon for more than a decade.

Stocks mentioned: DDOG, TTD, WMT, SNAP, GRPN, JAMF, META, NVR, LOW, NVDA, AMZN

Host: Deidre Woollard Guests: Tim Beyers, Jason Moser, Matt Argersinger Producer: Ricky Mulvey Engineers: Dan Boyd, Rick Engdahl
