Alphabet stock still looking cheap: Opening Bid top takeaway
Sorry, trade deal tracker fans, you'll have to take a back seat this morning for earnings analysis. Tesla (TSLA) is the top trending ticker on Yahoo Finance as the EV maker delivered a weak quarter that everyone on the Street expected. What they didn't expect was a subdued Elon Musk on the earnings call. A little less sizzle on the mic this go around for the prickly gazillionaire! Then we have Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), which dropped the mic in its own right on Wednesday afternoon — but for the right reasons: bullish earnings call commentary on cloud demand and how it's monetizing AI in its core search business. The company also lifted its capital expenditure for 2025 to $85 billion, a $10 billion jump from its previous forecast. "What we see here is that AI spend is going absolutely nowhere but up," Gradient Investments analyst Lisa Schreiber said on Opening Bid. "So, it's still very strong, which is a very perfect backdrop for the rest of the hyperscalers, as [their earnings] are coming in over the next couple of weeks, that benefits even more parts of the industries." There are also peripheral reports in focus, such as IBM (IBM) and Chipotle (CMG). IBM had a good quarter. CFO Jim Kavanaugh tells me the company is finding more expense savings and is seeing sizable AI software demand. But the stock is getting hit. Chipotle had an unsavory quarter, as sales surprisingly slowed. That stock is getting shredded. "Markets digested a high-impact slate of earnings marked by extreme single-stock volatility, investors rewarding clean beats paired with credible guidance, punishing any signs of softness," Evercore ISI strategist Julian Emanuel said. For me, the main stock story on Opening Bid today was Alphabet. The numbers were so strong that one has to wonder why the stock didn't gain more — especially considering shares trade at a discounted forward PE ratio relative to the S&P 500 (^GSPC). Zoom in: Alphabet's big quarter Alphabet is trading at only 19.3 times forward earnings on a PE basis (S&P 500 is at 24 times), and the stock goes up just 2% on Thursday morning? Did anyone listen to the earnings call? I did: The company said revenue growth accelerated throughout the business. Cloud business is rocking. The company said it's not losing key AI talent to the giant wallet of Meta (META). The discussion around AI and search seems very bullish. YouTube is crushing it. "AI (beast) mode — it's time to close the valuation gap," KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson said. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives added, "We continue see a favorable risk/reward for Alphabet and think there is a case for multiple expansion in the coming quarters as investors gain more comfort around the current macro environment, regulatory risk, and the impact of generative AI on the business."

Rising demand for cost-cutting, increased bank outsourcing, digital banking adoption, real-time monitoring needs, AI integration, and enhanced security drive market growth. Key segments include ATM replenishment, incident and network management across various locations such as offsite, onsite, and mobile ATMs. The expansion is notable in North America, Europe, and rapidly developing regions such as Asia-Pacific. Major players include NCR Atleos, Diebold Nixdorf, and Fiserv. The market's evolution is fueled by technological advancements, financial inclusion efforts, and strategic alliances. ATM Managed Services Market Dublin, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "ATM Managed Services Market - Technology & Forecast Outlook 2025-2033" report has been added to Managed Services Market is expected to reach US$ 12.29 billion by 2033 from US$ 8.45 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 4.25% from 2025 to 2033 Cost-cutting demands, a rise in bank outsourcing, the adoption of digital banking, the requirement for real-time monitoring, AI integration, improved security, and an increase in ATM usage in developing cities are the main factors propelling the market for ATM managed services. Due to the growing demand for financial institutions to streamline operations and cut expenses, the global market for ATM managed services is expanding significantly. These services include a variety of options, such as ATM administration, maintenance, and monitoring, which guarantees seamless operation and reduces downtime. By facilitating real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, the use of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has further fueled market development. Additionally, banks are outsourcing ATM operations to specialized service providers as a result of the increased focus on improving customer experience and maintaining regulatory compliance. The market is seeing a rise in demand for all-inclusive ATM managed services solutions as a need for sophisticated ATM services to access a range of intricate activities has grown as a result of the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry's significant development. The increasing use of money transaction machines and growing maintenance and security concerns, which are some of the primary drivers propelling the market expansion, further support this. Accordingly, the increasing prevalence of fraudulent actions, such as magnetic stripe skimming, and the widespread use of debit cards by customers have made it easier for ATM managed services to be widely adopted, which is contributing to further growth. Furthermore, the market is expanding as a result of the positive actions being taken by the governments of a number of nations to prevent the use of magstripe cards by using EMV chips for improved authentication. Additionally, the market is expanding due to the development of self-service software, which coincides with the widespread integration of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and mobile-based technologies with ATM managed services. A favorable outlook for the market is being created by additional factors, such as the quick digitization, strategic partnerships among financial institutions, and the growing use of blockchain, near field communication (NFC), quicker response (QR), and artificial intelligence (AI) in ATM managed Factors Driving the ATM Managed Services Market Growth Focus on Core CompetenciesFinancial institutions may reduce operations and concentrate on their core strengths, including improving client experience, creating new financial products, and advancing digital transformation, by outsourcing ATM managed services. Internal ATM management takes a lot of time, money, and technical resources, which can take focus away from strategic goals. Banks can assign time-consuming operations like software upgrades, hardware maintenance, cash replenishment, and compliance monitoring to specialist service providers. In addition to increasing operational effectiveness, this strategy enables organizations to better meet the needs of their clients and the market. Banks may now devote more resources to innovation, consumer interaction, and growing their digital and mobile banking ecosystems as they are no longer burdened with managing ATM FootprintThe market for ATM managed services is mostly driven by the growth of ATM networks, especially in developing nations and underserved rural regions. Banks and other financial institutions are installing more ATMs as financial inclusion becomes a top focus in order to boost accessibility and satisfy the rising demand for self-service and cash-based transactions. However, significant operational, technical, and logistical assistance is needed to manage a large ATM network. Consistent performance, uptime, and adherence to industry standards are guaranteed when these services are outsourced. Installation, cash loading, security, maintenance, and real-time monitoring may all be handled effectively by managed services providers over large geographic areas. The need for dependable and scalable managed services solutions that ensure business continuity and offer a flawless customer experience is increased by the expansion of the ATM AdvancementsThe market for ATM managed services is changing as a result of technological developments that make operations more effective, intelligent, and responsive. Service providers may monitor ATMs in real time, identify irregularities, and carry out predictive maintenance by combining artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and predictive analytics. This lowers downtime and improves customer satisfaction. Additionally, smart technologies streamline supply schedules, guarantee operational continuity, and enhance cash forecasting. Furthermore, preemptive reactions are made possible by AI-driven insights that assist in identifying fraud and security concerns. IoT sensors can keep an eye on connection, temperature, and hardware health to stop problems. These developments promote a safer and more convenient ATM experience in addition to lowering operating expenses. Technology is a key factor in determining managed services strategies as financial organizations embrace digital in the ATM Managed Services Market Service Reliability and DowntimeIn the market for ATM managed services, service dependability is crucial. Consumers anticipate having round-the-clock access to ATMs for transactions such as cash withdrawals and balance inquiries. Customer satisfaction and confidence can be severely impacted by even brief outages, particularly in places with limited financial facilities. Constant monitoring, prompt issue resolution, and proactive maintenance - often across geographically scattered locations - are necessary to ensure high uptime. For financial institutions, unplanned outages brought on by hardware malfunctions, network problems, or software bugs can result in lost income, harm to their brand, and client attrition. For managed service providers to minimize the impact of disruptions on end users and promptly fix issues and preserve operational continuity, they must set up effective service-level agreements (SLAs), deploy real-time monitoring systems, and keep a knowledgeable support Management LogisticsAn intricate and crucial component of ATM operations is efficient cash handling. It's a fine balance to make sure every ATM has enough cash on hand to satisfy consumer demand without going overboard. Based on transaction patterns, historical data, and seasonal fluctuations, managed service providers must predict cash consumption with accuracy. Cashouts brought on by poor forecasting can annoy clients and harm a bank's image. On the other hand, having too much cash in machines raises operating expenses and security threats. Another logistical problem is coordinating prompt cash replenishment across extensive ATM networks, particularly in rural or high-risk regions. Cash logistics is a resource-intensive but crucial job in ATM managed services as providers also have to coordinate with armored carriers, ensure safe transit, and adhere to cash-handling Managed Services Market Overview by RegionsBecause of sophisticated banking infrastructure and high outsourcing rates, the market for ATM managed services is expanding rapidly in North America and Europe. As more ATMs are installed, Asia-Pacific is growing quickly, while financial inclusion initiatives are driving stable development in Latin America and the Middle East.

The D'Amore Drop: Yes, wrestling has to evolve with the times, but are we pulling back the curtain too far?
The D'Amore Drop is a weekly guest column on Uncrowned written by Scott D'Amore, the Canadian professional wrestling promoter, executive producer, trainer and former wrestler best known for his long-standing role with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, where he served as head of creative. D'Amore is the current owner of leading Canadian promotion Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling. I'm really intrigued by WWE and Netflix's new show "Unreal," which premieres next Tuesday. It promises to take viewers inside the booking room and show exactly how the sausage is made — or at least, how they want you to think it's made. From what I've heard, it won't be a pure documentary, if such a thing even exists. Like many 'docuseries' these days, it's going to be a bit of a work. That is just the reality of modern production. Being a fly on the wall doesn't just happen, not over and over. Producing compelling TV means the fly needs to be on this wall, at this moment, to capture that conversation. You can't rely on luck or have 100 crews on 100 people all the time when you're spending Netflix money. Still, I think it'll be a hit. The appetite for behind-the-scenes content in wrestling is bigger than it's ever been, and "Unreal" looks tailor-made for that audience. The big question is if it can do what 'Drive to Survive' did for Formula One and bring in a brand new audience. But here's the difference: F1 is a real sport. The more you understand it, the more exciting and dramatic it becomes. With wrestling, I worry the opposite is true. Pull back the curtain too far, and the drama in the ring starts to feel flatter — not deeper. Because wrestling is supposed to be mysterious. That's part of the magic. Yes, I am just about self-aware enough to get that I am here writing a weekly column for Uncrowned — offering opinions on current storylines, casually using terms like 'heel' and 'work,' while also saying I'm uneasy about a TV show that openly exposes the business. In fact, I am actually contradicting myself way worse than that… For my own promotion, Maple Leaf Pro-Wrestling, we produce a YouTube series called "Beyond the Ring" that goes behind the scenes. We show backstage footage, even of opponents — who are at each other's throats on-screen — relaxing together off-camera. And when I ran TNA with Don Callis, we pitched parent company Anthem a show called 'Behind The Booking Room Door' which was similar in concept to what Netflix is doing. So … I guess what I'm saying is this: Wrestling has to evolve with the times. No one can hold these changes back or put the 'it's not a sport' genie back in the bottle. But that doesn't mean we can't still feel a little nostalgic for the way things used to be, y'know? The insane PCO vs. Dan Maff war from Maple Leaf Pro is now on YouTube. You really should check it out. I'll never root against TNA. I put too much blood, sweat, tears and money into that company across two long stints. But as most of you know, my relationship with TNA ended about 18 months ago. So, watching them pull off their biggest show ever with Slammiversary last Sunday was bittersweet. It's wild to see guys in baseball caps doing podcasts claiming the TNA/WWE relationship 'all started' six months ago with Joe Hendry's appearance at the Royal Rumble. Ahem. TNA champion Mickie James — and her championship belt — entered the Royal Rumble three and a half years ago. That's when the critical TNA/WWE relationship began. Having AJ Styles appear in person on a TNA show was a lovely moment. (I say 'in person' because he appeared at the 20th anniversary Slammiversary via video, with the WWE's blessing, but... y'know). TNA is the house that AJ Styles built. He was the one we could point to, when everyone was saying 'TNA is nowhere near as good as WWE,' and say 'Yeah? Well, WWE has no one even close to THIS guy!' It made sense for TNA to use AJ's appearance to pass the X-Division torch to Leon Slater. Leon has a massive future, both in TNA and, eventually, AEW and/or WWE. Y'know, we discovered Leon during a TNA tour of the UK four years ago. He was a teenager, but like with Seth Rollins, who was also a teen when I met him, it was obvious Leon had 'it.' We'd heard about him, booked him on the tour, but he was even better than his reputation suggested. We signed him as soon as we watched him wrestle — and here he is, making me look like a genius when all we did was recognize HIS genius when it was right in front of us. Something's been bothering me. Everybody knows Tony Khan grew up with money. So why is he the one who understands that most families can't afford to spend over $1,000 on one night out at the wrestling? I know everything costs more these days, but I hate to see WWE become something only those with big disposable incomes can attend live. Months ago, I advocated in this column for a 'wait and see' approach when John Cena's heel turn with The Rock wasn't followed up on by WWE. And while I'll always ask fans to give the bookers and talent time to tell their story, six months after Cena's turn, we have to say that the turn hasn't been maximized. Even allowing for the fact that nothing will ever eclipse Hulk Hogan's 1996 WCW turn, and that John's promo work has been strong, it just hasn't hit like it could have. It's going to be very interesting to see if WWE turns John again next week at SummerSlam during or after the match with Cody Rhodes, and how they send him off into the sunset over this next (and final) five months of his career. The whole industry is watching to see how the first-ever two-night WWE SummerSlam is received. Turning WrestleMania into two nights made sense. Those shows were stretching to seven hours. Even the most diehard fans were getting worn out. But the two-night SummerSlam? I'm not sure this one was organic. This feels like a revenue move by TKO. That said, the cards look good. We'll see how it delivers. One of the best moments at Slammiversary was Moose handing off the X-Division torch to Leon Slater. I've got a lot of friends in TNA, but Moose is basically family. Frank Trigg, the UFC Hall of Famer, once called me and said he had a buddy who wanted to get into wrestling. Said he was an offensive tackle in the NFL. Told me, 'Just work out with him.' I was expecting some big farm boy, 360 pounds, built like a fridge, but instead this athletic monster walks in. He was ripped, fast, and within five minutes I knew he was going to be a star. Sure, there have been times I wished he were normal-sized, just so I could reach up and throttle him. Like I said, family. He's been to Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house, the Canadian Thanksgiving. We were watching football. Moose was surprised that 'American' football was played on Canadian Thanksgiving. My mom, already smitten with the big lump, gently said, 'Well, honey, it's Sunday. That's when NFL games are played.' And Moose, mouth full of turkey, looked up and said, 'Oh? It's Sunday in Canada too?'
