Erich Reimer, author at Seeking Alpha, discusses his optimism around Facebook's growth and why he believes investors should be long the stock, despite its new news feed algorithm and the controversy over Russian meddling.
Reimer notes that while the news feed changes were disruptive, he believes they are in the long-term interest of the company. Reimer talks over streams of revenue for the company outside of advertising. He talks some of their other apps like Facebook Watch and Messenger, which show strong user interest.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
