About this episode

This week on Prof G Markets, Scott shares his thoughts on what he thinks is the worst ever rebrand: HBO’s shift to Max. He then takes a look at fast casual restaurant Cava’s IPO filing and examines why its competitor Chipotle is one of the best performing stocks this year. Scott also discusses why private equity firms hold on to shares of companies in the public markets (hint: it’s a racket). Finally, in this week’s Unpack, we hear about each of the legal challenges Montana’s TikTok ban will face.
