Nike CEO says focus on its own website and stores went too far as it embraces wholesale retailers again

cnbc.com/2024/04/12/nike-ceo-acknowledges-it-went-too-far-in-direct-push.html

Quick Glance: Nike CEO Acknowledges Shift from Direct Sales Focus

Nike CEO John Donahoe acknowledged that the company deviated too far from wholesale partners like Macy's and DSW in its pursuit of primarily selling products through its own stores and website.

Over recent years, Nike has actively worked on restructuring its business model. Initially focused on selling sneakers and clothing in department stores and specialty shops, the brand now generates the majority of its revenue through direct-to-consumer sales.

This transition enabled Nike to significantly increase revenue and enhance customer insights through data analysis. Donahoe stated that Nike has tripled its mobile and digital business in the past four years.

Some analysts view Nike's avoidance of wholesale partners as a misstep that hindered the company's progress in innovation and product development.

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4590650-trump-to-make-history-as-first-us-president-to-face-criminal-trial/

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Quick Glance: Criticism of Novavax for Missed Opportunities in Boosting COVID-19 Vaccine Sales

Shah Capital called for immediate changes in the company's board.

The activist hedge fund Shah Capital criticized Novavax's leadership for not capitalizing on concerns some individuals have about mRNA vaccines to increase sales of its traditional, protein-based COVID-19 vaccine.

Findings from a survey of 1,500 Americans by the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) at the University of Pennsylvania revealed an increase in the spread of vaccine misinformation.

The limited use of COVID-19 vaccines is also affecting other vaccine manufacturers. In the U.S., only 14% of adults have received an updated COVID-19 vaccine for 2023-2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care

The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.

A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.

The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.

This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.

On Saturday, Trump labeled Cohen a 'disgraced attorney' despite the gag order in his Stormy Daniels case.

Lanny Davis, Michael Cohen's attorney, stated that it would be very challenging for a judge to silence Donald Trump with a gag order.

Regarding Trump's harsh attack on Cohen on Saturday, Davis mentioned the difficulty in imprisoning Trump for his social media outbursts.

Cohen is expected to be a key witness in Trump's trial, focusing on alleged hush money payments before the 2016 election, which commenced on April 15.
