VSCO's iPhone camera app is now available globally
Photo editing and sharing app VSCO is making its iOS camera app, Capture, available across the world, following a limited launch in June, when the app could be downloaded only in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. VSCO also said it is acquiring The Freelance Photographer, which provides a mix of online and offline workshops for studying photography and videography. 'There's a clear gap in the market for business education and industry-specific guidance for emerging photography professionals who are looking to secure sustainable client relationships. The Freelance Photographer serves as a long-term career partner to creatives, offering a comprehensive education, a supportive community, as well as the tools and insight they need to turn their craft into a career,' Eric Wittman, CEO of VSCO, said in a statement. VSCO's first new app in more than a decade, Capture focuses on taking pictures with a set aesthetic. The app has more than 50 presets for images along with some real-time effects. It offers manual control over camera functions like shutter speed and exposure, and can take pictures in RAW and ProRAW formats. The app also lets users sync all photos with VSCO's cloud through the VSCO app, which means you can't directly upload photos from the Capture app. The Freelance Photographer offers various courses, starting from $208 per month for the basic coaching plan, and a $625 per month that gives subscribers access to over 50 tools, several courses, and personal mentoring from the company's founder, Paul Weaver. The acquisition fits neatly into VSCO's aim of catering more to professional photographers. Last year, the company launched VSCO Hub, to enable brands to discover photographers for different projects, and VSCO Sites, which lets photographers create web pages to show off their work. In May, the company launched VSCO Canvas, a collaborative whiteboard product that lets users create moodboards for different projects.

Can Dollar Tree Deliver In Its Next Earnings?
BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES - 2025/06/01: An exterior view of a Dollar Tree store at the ... More Buckhorn Plaza. (Photo by Paul Weaver/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Dollar Tree's stock (NASDAQ: DLTR) is set to announce its fiscal first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, with analysts estimating earnings of $1.20 per share on $4.53 billion in revenue. This would indicate a 13% year-over-year drop in earnings and a 41% decrease in sales compared to the previous year's figures of $1.38 per share and $7.63 billion in revenue. Historically, DLTR stock has fallen 53% of the time following earnings announcements, with a median one-day decline of 11.1% and a maximum observed drop of 22%. Dollar Tree, traditionally dependent on lower- and middle-income consumers, is now drawing in more affluent shoppers amidst ongoing inflation. Its discretionary products and urban clientele with slightly higher income levels offer stability. Nonetheless, the company is still susceptible to new tariffs, which it seeks to alleviate through supplier negotiations, manufacturing adjustments, and selective price hikes. The current market capitalization of the company stands at $19 billion. Over the past twelve months, revenue reached $18 billion, and it maintained operational profitability with $1.5 billion in operating profits and a net income of $-3.0 billion. Buy or Sell Dollar Tree Stock? For traders focused on events, historical trends may provide an advantage, whether by preparing before earnings or responding to movements after the announcement. Thus, if you are looking for growth with less volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns exceeding 91% since its launch. See earnings reaction history of all stocks. A few observations regarding one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Additional statistics for observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns following earnings are summarized along with the data in the table below. DLTR 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return A relatively lower-risk approach (though ineffective if the correlation is low) is to comprehend the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identify a pair with the strongest correlation, and take the right trade action. For instance, if 1D and 5D show the highest correlation, a trader can place themselves 'long' for the ensuing 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation information drawn from 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D indicates the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and following 5D returns. DLTR Correlation Between 1D, 5D and 21D Historical Returns Occasionally, peer performance can impact post-earnings stock reactions. In fact, the pricing-in may commence even before the earnings are declared. Here is some historical data regarding the past post-earnings performance of Dollar Tree stock compared to the stock performance of peers that reported earnings shortly before Dollar Tree. For a fair assessment, peer stock returns also represent post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.

Will Q1 Results Move Lowe's Stock Up?
An exterior view of a Lowe's home improvement store. (Photo by Paul Weaver/SOPA Images/LightRocket ... More via Getty Images) Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) is set to disclose its fiscal first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, with analysts anticipating earnings of $2.89 per share on revenue of $21.03 billion. This would indicate a 6% decrease in earnings year-over-year and a 2% decline in sales compared to the previous year's results of $3.06 per share and $21.36 billion in revenue. Historically, LOW stock has risen 55% of the time after earnings announcements, with a median one-day gain of 1.7% and a maximum recorded increase of 10%. Lowe's is exposed to economic headwinds due to its business model. The company obtains a significant portion of its products from around the globe, with key supply chains in China, Canada, and Mexico. This global sourcing approach, along with its main customer base focused in North America, renders Lowe's susceptible to trade disruptions and tariffs. Product categories that are especially at risk include lumber, steel, aluminum, plumbing fixtures, and various tools and hardware. Moreover, the demand from do-it-yourself (DIY) customers, who account for approximately 70% of the company's sales, has weakened, as many have grown more reluctant to spend on home remodelings and upgrades. With a current market capitalization of $130 billion, the company reported $84 billion in revenue, $10 billion in operating profit, and $7 billion in net income over the last twelve months. Also check, Buy or Sell Lowe's? For event-driven traders, historical trends may provide an advantage, whether by positioning prior to earnings or reacting to movements after the release.
