Hi there,
Happy Monday! Here's what we're watching in business and tech news this week:
-
Netflix is expected to disclose a jump in quarterly revenue as it reports earnings on Tuesday. Netflix has seen thriving demand amid the Covid-19 pandemic, but some fear unemployment and a recession will hit demand in quarters to come. Other companies reporting this week include: AT&T, Snap, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Intel, Verizon, Unilever, and Kering S.A. We cover how tech leaders like Netflix have navigated crisis and disruption here.
-
Look for Congress to approve a new tranche of funding for the small business loan program as early as Tuesday. The new agreement will reportedly include an additional $310B for small businesses, as well as $75B for hospitals and $25B to expand testing. The $350B Paycheck Protection Program, part of last month’s emergency stimulus package, was depleted in less than 2 weeks.
-
Amazon could reopen its 6 warehouses in France this week. The e-commerce giant shut sites after a French court ordered it to temporarily stop shipping non-essential goods due to concerns over worker protection. A court appeal is due Tuesday.
- Neiman Marcus is reportedly filing for bankruptcy as early as this week. This marks the first major US department store operator to do so amid the coronavirus-related economic shutdown, according to Reuters. The retail industry already faced significant stress before Covid-19 — take a look at our timeline of the retail apocalypse here.
