MSTR Earnings Outlook SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images MicroStrategy MSTR +9% , the bitcoin investment vehicle attached to a business-software company, is likely to report its first quarterly profit in two years in results expected this afternoon as its business improves and the value of its crypto hoard rises. Steady progress in its business-analytics division, which is seeking to transition customers to recurring, internet-based subscriptions–known as the software-as-a-service model–from on-premise licensed programs, should give a lift to results, according to Joe Vafi, a managing director at Canaccord Genuity. Although the business is relatively mature, it is “very sticky with good margins,” he adds. Even though Q4 revenue is expected to fall about 3% to $130 million, according to consensus data compiled by FactSet, the company is on track to report net income of $10.7 million after losing $90 million a year earlier. The last time it eked out a profit was the final quarter of 2020, when it earned $2.7 million. On the adjusted basis used by Wall Street analysts, MicroStrategy is expected to earn 98.3 cents a share, Bloomberg data show. As far as investors are concerned, the software business plays second fiddle to the company’s bitcoin strategy, […]

Fast Facts Treasury’s State Small Business Credit Initiative is authorized to provide $10 billion to states, territories, and tribal governments to support small business lending and investment programs. All 50 states, five territories, the District of Columbia, and 283 tribal governments have applied for these funds. However, Treasury is taking longer than expected to review applications and disburse funds. We found that it could improve how it plans these and other program activities—such as identifying interim steps and staff responsible for each activity. We recommended doing so, which could help Treasury ensure timely disbursement of these funds. Highlights What GAO Found The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) provides funds to eligible jurisdictions—states, territories, the District of Columbia, and tribal governments—to support small business lending and investment programs through its capital program. Eligible jurisdictions also can apply for technical assistance funding (such as for legal, accounting, and financial advisory services) to support certain businesses that apply to an SSBCI program or another government small business program. The Department of the Treasury, which administers SSBCI, extended application deadlines for the capital and technical assistance programs multiple times (see figure). All 50 states, five territories, and the District of Columbia submitted […]

In this photo illustration, the Penn Entertainment logo is displayed on a smartphone mobile screen. Rafael Henrique | SOPA Images | Lightrocket | Getty Images Penn Entertainment on Thursday became the first U.S. gambling company to post a profit in its sports betting business during the final three months of a year. Usually, it’s tougher to turn a sportsbook profit during the third and fourth quarters because companies spend more on marketing and promotions during football season. Penn’s interactive business, which also includes online casino games, made a $5.2 million profit on $208 million in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022. The performance helped lift the company’s overall revenue for the period by nearly 1% to $1.6 billion. The profit in sports betting came even in spite of a highly publicized $10 million bet Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale placed – and won – on the Houston Astros winning the World Series in November. Caesars also took a hit from Mattress Mack’s baseball bet, which blocked its own ability to turn a profit in sports betting in the fourth quarter, according […]

Link is responsible for delivering investment advice to institutional investors, including retirement, foundation, endowment and insurance asset owners, says Eric Thole, CEO of U.S. Bancorp Asset Management in an email. “The institutional OCIO segment has grown significantly over the past decade and is expected to continue on this trajectory in the coming years as clients seek holistic solutions over varying market cycles,” says Thole.“We were in a position to focus significant effort and resources into growing our presence in the space.” Institutional investors use OCIO services to transfer full or partial responsibility to a third party—an asset manager or investment consultant—to operate the investment function, accountability and fiduciary responsibility for an asset pool.
