HP is reinventing the retail space with its new HP elitePOS product. HP's General Manager and Vice President of Retail Aaron Weiss explains how this technology can transform the retail industry.
"Digital is not new but it is accelerating," says Weiss. "The expectations of consumers as shoppers is changing." Now, consumers are expecting a lot more from their brick-and-mortar experience explains Weiss.
HP is featuring its elitePOS at the 2018 National Retail Federation conference. Weiss says this is a complete rethinking of a traditional point-of-sale device. "Security is critical to our retailers, and is going to grow in importance," says Weiss.
Apple warned of a potential $8 billion future sales hit due to supply issues, but Dan Ives, the managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, noted that the record quarterly report the tech giant posted shows demand remains high for Apple products and services. Ives joined Cheddar to explain why investors should look past the warning. "In these types of markets where many are yelling fire in a crowded theater, you look at the demand trends because that continues to be the focus for Apple," he said "I think you combine that with the services. I view it as a defensive name. It's a Rock of Gibraltar stock in a Category 5 storm as well as also an offensive play as I believe we start to move out of some of these just brutal headwinds that we've been seeing in the market once the Fed rips the band-aid off."
