1.ย Fordย (#ford)
Teslaโs infamous Cybertruck demo came with endless talking points, including a tug-of-warย between the pickup and Fordโs market-leading F-150! The Cybertruck hardly broke a sweat during the challenge, but know-it-all Neil deGrasse Tyson believes the F-150 needed a full load to give traction to its rear wheels. So, a Ford exec has challenged Musk to a fairer, โapples-to-applesโ tug-of-war. โBring it on!โ he answered before Ford backed out, and the entire internet started making chicken noises! Investors want to know if the Cybertruck is a genuine market share disruptor or merely a beta hybrid with overstated sales numbers. They may soon find out!
2. Papa John’s Pizza (#pzza)
Papa John Schnatter is selling his founding stake in his old pizza chain after being sacked as CEO last year. However, that hasnโt hurt his appetite. In the past 30 days, he claims to have eaten 40 of the companyโs pizzas! Thatโs a lot of pizza, and heโs convinced the recipe has gone off since his firing. Yes, thatโs right, Papa John ainโt no fan of Papa Johnโs no more! Instead, heโs just a disgruntled former employee on the losing side of a stock market wager. Despite calling his replacement, Rob Lynch, someone โdispassionate about pizza and people,โ the stock is up more than 55% this year. Schnatter could still be proven right, but for now, the firmโs stock only ticks higher. 40 pizzas?!
