Walt Disney Trounces Q4 Estimates on Back of Disney+ Subscriber Growth; Dividend Suspended – Motley Fool

Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) was a stock on the rise in post-market trading on Thursday, following the after-hours release of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 results. For the quarter, the entertainment giant suffered a 23% drop in revenue, to $14.7 billion. The bottom line plunged violently into the red, with a loss from continuing operations of $710 million against the year-ago profit of $777 million. When adjusted for certain items, the former shook out to a $0.20 per share deficit. Image source: Walt Disney. Analysts were expecting far worse from Disney, however. On average, they forecast only $14.2 billion on the top line, and a much deeper per-share, adjusted net loss of $0.71. What helped lift the company was the Disney+ video streaming service, which has grown its paid subscriber c...

COVID-19 Statistics | Nov. 12, 2020 – Lost Coast Outpost

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center: A total of 653 county residents have tested positive for COVID-19, after 29 cases were confirmed since Tuesday. Humboldt County Deputy Health Officer Dr. Josh Ennis called the recent increase in the local case rate “concerning.”  “The case rate is one of the factors the state is looking at when it assigns tier status, so we must work to keep it low for our businesses and community alike,” he said. “An increasing case rate also means COVID-19 is circulating more broadly, ultimately impacting our health care system’s capacity to respond,” adding that hospitalizations can lag weeks behind increased case counts.  “The safest course of action is to assume anyone you interact with could have the virus and follow preve...

Why it matters: America has never attempted to vaccinate so many people on such short notice, with so many lives on the line. 1) Record-keeping: States will turn to their existing immunization registries, AP reports. Pharmacies and doctors’ offices will need to be able to look up records, so people don’t have to return to the same place for their second shot. 2) Storage: Smaller pharmacies and doctors' offices are needed to make getting shots more convenient, but the Pfizer vaccine needs to be stored at -94°F. About 60% of pharmacy chains nationwide — Walgreens Boots Alliance, CVS Health, Walmart, Kroger and Costco ...
