This is one of those times when almost no company is going to get the benefit of the doubt from Wall Street and investors in general. Meta Platforms and Spotify are two timely examples. Meta Platforms faces headwinds in the form of inflation, its own investments, and Apple's new iOS privacy changes. Spotify is showing growth, but guidance has some spooked and the latest controversy involving podcast host Joe Rogan isn't helping matters either. Tim Beyers analyzes both companies and discusses the very public roles that CEOs Mark Zuckerberg and Daniel Ek are taking as their companies deal with varying challenges. Plus, Dylan Lewis and Brian Feroldi do a deep dive on Digitalocean, a cloud company some are comparing to a young Shopify. Our free Investing Starter Kit includes 15 stocks and 5 ETFs.
