Erin delmore explains why. Meta Ceo Mark Zuckerberg piqued investors interest when he predicted 2023 would be the year of efficiency and he won them over when he delivered on it. The stock nearly tripled last year. This year, meta shares are up another a0 . But on wednesday, meta released its First QuarterEarnings Report and shares initially slumped during after hours trading. Facebook� s Parent Company did Beat Expectations on revenue and earnings, but it disappointed on its Revenue Forecast for the Second Quarter of the year. Higher expenses also weighed shares down. So wednesdays Earnings Report marked a back down to earth moment for the formerly red hot tech giant, and it moderates expectations for the months ahead as the company grapples over how to generate profit off of Generative Aland drum up Advertising Revenue in an increasingly crowded market. I spoke to tech analyst ray wang of constellation research, and asked him what he made of metas soft outlook. They outperformed in their results but the challenges, ai is really expensive when it turns out youre off by a couple million dollars, almost 5 million in costs to ramp up ai 5 million in costs to ramp up alto compete, and thats really the challenge here. The fundamentals are there, they are showing that the ad business is backed 2. 4 billion daily active people and theyve grown sales and marketing costs, in general they are doing very well, and ai is very expensive so in only a few players can play. This is a blip, people are overreacting by selling meta shares, its going to create that efficiency. Going to create that efficien. � , efficiency. Ai is the big theme here, efficiency. Ai is the big theme here. The efficiency. Ai is the big theme here, the magnificent efficiency. Ai is the big theme here, the Magnificent Seven l here, the Magnificent Seven including the likes of Google Parent as well as microsoft and nvidia, they are always reporting this next week as well, so who are the winners and losers in this ai race . Double digit growth and monetisation models that are winning, so meta, amazon, microsoft and nvidia have it, declining revenue of growth, apple and tesla are falling out of the favour, the Mag Seven Being becoming a fab five. Elsewhere, as we told you on newsday, President Biden has signed into law a bill which gives tiktok� s chinese owner, bytedance nine months to divest it or the social media app will be banned in the us. But tiktok has vowed to take legal action, saying in a statement that the us law is unconstitutional and that the company has gone to Great Lengths to ensure us user data is safe and free from outside manipulation. Us plane maker boeing reported its first revenue drop in almost two years. Its manufacturing quality has come under scrutiny after a series of accidents involving its max 737 model. Lets bring in Aerospace Consultant mark martin. I asked him what he made of boeings results and his outlook for the playmaker. We know that boeing commercial aeroplanes the revenue is driving the entire Financial Performance of bowing down, revenues are done by 1. 6 billion of whats alarming is that deliveries on the Boeing 737 Max is also down from 160 down to 83. The biggest concern of the moment is not deliveries per se, of the moment is not deliveries perse, but of the moment is not deliveries per se, but airlines that are opting out of the max ten, we have seen in the past United Airlines talking about it cancelling its max ten order. Clearly all of this boils down to safety issues and quality violations that have occurred over at boeing. This is not going to go over soon, were not going to cede this change in the next couple of quarters coming up this year, its going to continue at least for another 12 24 months, so were looking for more quarters of Financial Impact because boeing truly has to work a lot, if you look at boeings defence or earnings, thats not really done that great. Their stock has been significantly higher than previous quarters so its a rough time for boeing. I dont think theyre going to get out of this because get out of it anytime soon, because clearly this is self inflicted and its systemic. Staying with aviation, when the new boss of Japan Airlines was announced earlier this year, it sent a shock wave across the country because for the first time in the companys history, it appointed a female president. That means the firm has joined less than 1 of top tier listed firms led by women. It made News Headlines just two weeks after a Runway Collision at Haneda Airport which put the spotlight on staff training. I caught up with Mitsuko Tottori to find out more about the crew and her new role. Translation i remember being so relieved to hear that they managed to evacuate. As for training, we do rigorous training each year using all sorts of real life experiences. For example, the evacuation at this time was credited to passengers not taking their bags, and we learned that from our past experience. So we emphasise the importance of leaving the bags. Your appointment has received a lot of attention because you are the first female president ofJapan Airlines and you are also the first former Flight Attendant to get the top job. One report even describing you as an avient molecule. How does it feel to be in the spotlight because of your gender and your background . I didnt know about an alien molecule. I dont think of myself as the first woman or the first former Flight Attendant. I want to act as an individual, so i didnt expect to get this much attention. I guess one of the reason theres so much spotlight on you is because the japanese government has been trying to increase the number of female managers for more than a decade now. But even today, less than 1 of japans top tier listed companies have female president or ceo. In yourview, Canjapan Achieve its womenomics target to have 30 female managers by 2030 . And in your view, what needs to be done about it . Its hard to say. I hope japan can achieve the target, but we have to take it very seriously. Its notjust about the Corporate Leaders mindset, but also i think it is important for women to have the confidence to become a manager. In your previous role, you managed to save many jobs during the pandemic by retraining some Flight Attendants. What do you think you bring to the top job compared to other male president s because of your experience as a Flight Attendant and also based on your knowledge of the internal workings . Earlier i said i want to act as an individual, but i realize the public or our employees dont necessarily look at me like that. But my appointment proves jills commitment to diversity jal� s commitment to diversity and by me being appointed to the topjob. I hope it would encourage other women to try things that they were afraid of trying. Japan has been a very, very popular destination forforeign tourists. Has demand hit the pre covid level . And what is your outlook on that . We are now seeing more tourists than before the pandemic. The government wants Visitor Numbers to hit 60 million by 2030. So we would love more tourists to visitjapan and go to regional areas too. But the number of japanese leaving is quite low, and thats my bigger concern. To india, where the temperatures are soaring across many parts, reportedly affecting Voter Turnout as hundreds of millions step out to go and cast their ballot. But the scorching heat could also take a toll on the countrys Inflation Dynamics according to a � state of the according to a � state of the economy� report released by Indias Central Bank. Nikhil inamdar has these details from mumbai. Well, as Indias Central Bank aptly puts it, there is a sizzle here in the spring in india as the mercury rises above 40 degrees in many parts of the country. And that could pose a risk to inflation, according to the rbis latest state of the economy report. Now, prices havejust begun moderating here, but Food Inflation remains high and bad weather is a potential source of risk to overall prices shooting up again. Add to that prolonged geopolitical tensions, which could keep crude Oil Prices Volatile and add to indias inflationary worries. India, remember, is a net importer of crude oil, so any price shocks globally can have big impacts locally. Now, the other big concern that the rbi has raised in its report is on long term growth. This may be the Fastest Growing major economy in the world, but the Central Bank Says india will need to grow at much faster levels, around eight to 10 every year over the next decade. If it is to reap its demographic dividend, which is the economic potential that comes from millions of young, new people entering the workforce. Unemployment, incidentally, remains the biggest concern for india, according to a poll of economists published by reuters yesterday.
