What’s new

Retail stocks jumped in early Wednesday trading after data showing the long Thanksgiving weekend has gotten the holiday shopping season off to a good start. Macy’s Inc. shares spiked 5.7%, Target Corp. shares rose 5.6%, Nordstrom Inc. shares were up 5% and Kohl’s Corp. stock climbed 4.1% for the day so far. Adobe data shows that Cyber Monday was the biggest online shopping day in history, with sales totaling $6.59 billion, up 16.8% year-over-year. Despite the steep increase in e-commerce activity, brick-and-mortar stores held their own, with ShopperTrak data showing that traffic declined just 1% on Black Friday, and for the week, from Sunday, Nov. 16 to Sunday Nov. 26, the rate of shopper visit decline was 2%, the same as 2016. This indicates, according to ShopperTrak’s general manager for the Americas, Bill McCarthy, “that the era of steep year-over-year declines in shopper visits around [Black] Friday may be coming to an end.” The SPDR S&P Retail ETF is up 12.3% for the past three months, but down 5% for the past year. The S&P 500 index is up 19.3% for the last 12 months.

The American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday had reported an increase of 1.8 million barrels, according to sources. Gasoline stockpiles were up 3.6 million barrels for the week, while distillate stockpiles added 2.7 million barrels, according to the EIA. The S&P Global Platts survey forecast a supply rise of 1.1 million barrels for gasoline and an increase of 160,000 barrels for distillates. January crude fell 20 cents, or 0.3%, from Tuesday to $57.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, little changed from $57.77 before the supply data.

Uber revealed on Wednesday that 2.7 million U.K. users were affected by a security breach that hit the ride-hailing app last year, but were only brought to light in early November. The ride-hailing service acknowledged on Nov. 21 that it had paid hackers a ransom of $100,000 in an effort to conceal a data breach that affected 57 million accounts. However, Uber — which now faces multiple investigations over the breach — did not disclose at that time how many drivers and customers in the U.K. were affected. “We do not believe any individual rider needs to take any action. We have seen no evidence of fraud or misuse tied to the incident. We are monitoring the affected accounts and have flagged them for additional fraud protection,” Uber said.

Snap Inc. unveiled a redesign of its Snapchat app on Wednesday, in an attempt to spur user growth and make it easier to discover content. The new, simpler design separates content made by friends and content made by publishers. “This will provide a better way for publishers to distribute and monetize their stories, and a more personal way for friends to communicate and find the content they want to watch,” CEO Evan Spiegel wrote in an Axios op-ed. The change could make Snap more accessible to content creators who’ve so far chosen to post to Alphabet Inc.’s YouTube platform. Snap first announced the overhaul on its third-quarter earnings call, after the company grew its user base just 3% from the prior quarter. Snap shares were down 0.8% in Wednesday morning trading and are down 20% from their March IPO price of $17. The S&P 500 was slightly higher.

Domino’s Pizza Inc. shares rose 1.6% in Wednesday premarket trading after the stock was upgraded to buy from neutral at Instinet based on the international possibilities for the restaurant chain. Analysts maintained their $201 price target. Instinet says global franchisees could buy rival global pizza chains to convert them to the Domino’s brand, “which helps Domino’s unit growth without corporate commitment of capital.” Domino’s expansion puts pressure on the competition on both a local and regional level. “These chains simply lack the scale and resources to effectively compete with Domino’s as digital ordering has become increasingly important to customers ordering pizza for delivery or takeout,” analysts led by Mark Kalinowski wrote. Instinet also notes the drop in stock price, which makes shares more attractive. Domino’s shares are down 3.4% for the last three months, but up 8.2% for the year so far. The S&P 500 index is up 17.3% for 2017 to date.

Walt Disney Co.-owned ESPN’s President John Skipper told staff on Wednesday that the network is laying off roughly 150 people. Skipper said that the majority of the jobs eliminated are in studio production, digital content and technology, and that they generally reflect ESPN’s decision to shift focus and re-direct resources. “We appreciate their contributions, and will assist them as much as possible in this difficult moment with severance, a 2017 bonus, the continuation of health benefits and outplacement services,” Skipper wrote in his memo. “We will continue to invest in ways which will best position us to serve the modern sports fan and support the success of our business.” The cuts come amid a tumultuous time for ESPN, as viewership and subscriber numbers decline, and the network struggles to connect with its base in a charged political landscape. Disney’s ABC TV Group cut as many as 200 people in October. Shares of Disney have declined less than 1% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 index is up more than 17% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 21%.

Shares of China-based RYB Education Inc. plunged 10% in premarket trade Wednesday, after the childhood education services company said a police investigation found maltreatment of children by a former female teacher. The company said the maltreatment involved the use of sewing needles to “discipline” children during post-lunch naptime at the RYB-operated kindergarten. Although the police said there has been no evidence of further misconduct, RYB said there have been additional parent complaints regarding RYB-branded kindergartens. The stock, which went public on Sept. 27 at an initial-public-offering price of $18.50, closed at a low of $16.45 last Friday, after the company said police started an investigation following allegations of “improper conduct.” The stock has dropped 7.6% over the past month through Tuesday, while the Renaissance IPO ETF has gained 1.8% and the S&P 500 has tacked on 1.8%.
