<p>ServiceNow (NOW) shares skyrocketed 13.77% to $831.51 as of 11:14 AM EDT, propelled by strong Q2 results and heightened interest in its AI initiatives.</p>
<p>The company reported earnings and revenue that surpassed estimates, increasing its annual subscription revenue forecast.

<h3 id="wbd-stock-takes-a-hit-after-media-giants-loses-nba-tv-rights">WBD Stock Takes a Hit After Media Giants Loses NBA TV Rights</h3>
<p>Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) stock plummeted over 6% during Thursday’s trading session after losing its bid for NBA TV rights. The NBA rejected WBD’s matching proposal, opting instead for <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-tv-deal-tnt-855da6a644947d74ad3330c0470a7c94" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">11-year agreements</a> with Amazon, NBC, and Disney, collectively worth an estimated $76 billion.</p>
<p>WBD argues that the NBA “grossly misinterpreted” its contractual matching rights and intends to litigate the decision. Analysts view the loss of NBA rights as a significant blow to WBD’s linear networks and Max streaming service, with expectations of sharp ad revenue declines starting in Q4 2025. In response to the news, Macquarie Research downgraded WBD’s stock from “outperform” to “neutral.”</p>
<h3 id="ford-motor-company-stock-plunges-after-q2-results-ev-business-struggling">Ford Motor Company Stock Plunges After Q2 Results, EV Business Struggling</h3>
<p>Ford Motor Company (F) shares plunged 16.93% to $11.35 as of 11:15 AM EDT following the release of its Q2 earnings report. The automaker’s <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">adjusted earnings per share</a> of 47 cents fell short of the expected 68 cents, despite automotive revenue exceeding expectations at $44.81 billion. <br><br>Ford’s net income declined to $1.83 billion, or 46 cents per share, compared to $1.92 billion, or 47 cents per share, a year earlier.</p>
<p>The company maintained its 2024 earnings guidance but increased its full-year target for free cash flow. Ford’s profitability was significantly impacted by increased warranty reserves, which cost $800 million more than the previous quarter. <br><br>Despite the challenges, Ford’s traditional business (Ford Blue) and commercial business (Ford Pro) remained profitable, while its electric vehicle unit (Model e) reported losses.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
