Now time for some of today's trending tickers gonna watch Nike and AMC and up first Argus upgrading Nike stock. They go to a buy on that one and analysts say that recovery for the company is on its way with Argus expecting Nike to dominate in the athletic apparel and footwear markets the long run, despite the industry's growing competitiveness, Argus believes that Nike will continue to strengthen its position through global brands innovative products and rapid growth in emerging markets. So Lou Argus does upgrade this to buy target, looks like they, they go to 85 here looks like recoveries underway. They talk about how Nike's clearing inventory, so their products were up to date. Um, are you a believer? CEO Elliot Hill, you got the celebrity athletes whatever you want.
Yeah, I'm not there yet in the short term because I believe, if I'm not wrong, if not mistaken it was a couple weeks ago, we were talking about supply chain issues called rising costs because of tariffs that weren't yet resolved. But I do think Nike is one of those iconic brands that is going to find its footing again. No pun intended. Um, just because, I mean you and I grew up with those children of the 90s right, it was the only brand in athletic wear. Uh, they're seeing what consumer tastes are, but for me personally, retail is a tough space to invest in because of changing and finicky demand. So, uh, but I do think Nike has staying power there. They do the right partnerships, um, they need another Tiger Woods-esque type breakout star to really, to carry that banner for that brand.
I was actually a child of the 80s, but I appreciate
80s too. Right.
I appreciate you saying that.
Let's try and upgrade us both.
It's nice to you. All right, the other ticker here we're watching, AMC entertainment announcing a new plan to lessen its debt and take on new financing. The restructuring deal introduces roughly 223 million in fresh capital aimed primarily at refinancing debt scheduled to mature in 26. So, um, this one's interesting Lou. I'll tell you what stuck out, stocks down about 30% this year. Do you know how many buys on the street Lou? Zero goose egg, none. Seven holds, three sells. That's all you get.
Which is the biggest rarity you're ever going to see honestly.
You do not see that often.
You don't see that, right? There's always more buys and maybe a lone contrarian that's out there as a sell. I'm just still scratching my head. How did we not see bankruptcy through COVID? Right. Like just if it wasn't for the meme stock mania, I just don't know that there's been that big of a rebound in movie ticket sales right. To justify this. I think this is at best a melting ice cube of a business model. Right? Just don't. When's the last time you went to a movie? I took my daughter to Moana 2.
Yeah.
That's the first movie in forever.
No, I keep, people come on here and it's very smart analysts and they tell me people are still going to movies. Box office, okay, maybe it's not back to where it was pre-COVID, but there's been a recovery there. Maybe it's just going to be a smaller industry going forward, which makes sense because it's very hard to get me off my couch. I got the couch, the dog, the big screen. I think it's tough.
Yeah. But my thing is, can you get excited about investing in movie theaters, right? You have 4,000 other choices out there. For me, you don't have a single buy rating. You know, um,
Not on this one.
No.
Not one goose egg.
You could be the first.
Right, thank you.

Coinbase Global (COIN): 'For All I Know It's A Pump And Dump, I Don't See Anybody Dumping?' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . ABC is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) is a cryptocurrency exchange whose 57% year-to-date share price gain has resulted from legislation benefiting stablecoins and the bullish run in Bitcoin. Cramer's previous comments about Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) asserted that the firm has benefited from its large market share. This time, he discussed Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)'s valuation: '[On Cantor going to $500] I think that's within reason. PE's of these companies, this is the lowest one in park, at 40 times earnings, well Robinhood's not that low yet, I mean not that high. I mean People have to understand P/E analysis is not working. Robinhood's at 62 times earnings. COIN is at 40 times earnings. And people will say, uh, Jim, the multiple's too high. And I come back and say, do you really think the retail investor knows what a multiple is? Like what are you like, some sort of abstraction? See, this is a new world. I'm realistic. Look, for all I know it's a pump and dump, I don't see anybody dumping? I'll tell you when it's over. When the insiders do big deals and sell. And when there's secondaries. And there haven't been. That's what caused 2014. That's what caused it to end. 2020. That's what caused it to end. I mean, 2000. That's what caused it. 2000 being the vicious number of secondaries between January and March of 2021 and also about 2020. These years were just horrendous. And these companies broke down. I'm waiting for that. But it's not happening. So I wanna give people my history. Which is that it should have happened by now. Like Karp should have been selling and the companies should have been raising money. But they don't need to. These companies are incredibly well capitalized. And when people want to try and say, you know what they're like what happened to the dotcoms, I remember the dotcoms. They didn't have any money.' While we acknowledge the potential of COIN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Supreme Court won't hear thumbs-up emoji case involving Saskatchewan farmer
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has given a thumbs-down to hearing a legal case involving an emoji. The country's highest court dismissed an application by farmer Chris Achter to appeal a decision by the Court of Appeal of Saskatchewan. The Appeal Court upheld a verdict that found a thumbs-up emoji met signature requirements and was a legally binding agreement between Achter and Kent Mickleborough, a grain buyer with South West Terminal. In 2021, Mickleborough sent a text of a contract to Achter for a delivery of flax, and the farmer responded with a thumbs-up emoji. Achter didn't deliver the product, and the company took him to court for breaching the contract. The Supreme Court says costs are to be given to the grain company.
