Quick Glance: Retail Giant Walmex's Quarterly Profit Surges Due to Expansion and Wage Increases

Walmart's Mexico and Central America unit saw a 14.4% year-on-year increase in first-quarter net profit, driven by strong sales attributed to Mexicans' higher disposable income.

The retailer's quarterly revenue rose by 9.8% to 226.19 billion pesos, surpassing analyst estimates.

Operating income for the quarter increased by 10.3% to 24.62 billion pesos, with an improved performance compared to sales growth.

Current CEO Guilherme Loureiro will step down at the end of the month, with Ignacio Caride proposed to succeed him as Walmex's CEO and chairman of the board.

Who Could Buy TikTok? Here’s Who’s Been Floated As A Potential Buyer As Biden Signs Ban Bill Into Law.

forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/04/24/who-could-buy-tiktok-heres-whos-been-floated-as-a-potential-buyer-as-biden-signs-ban-bill-into-law/

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari

John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

Quick Glance: Record Audience at NCAA Women's Championship

South Carolina's victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in Sunday's women's NCAA championship game garnered a preliminary average viewership of 18.7 million on ABC and ESPN.

Nielsen's final numbers on Tuesday may reveal an increase in viewership.

It marks the most-watched basketball game since 2019, when the men's NCAA title game between Virginia and Texas Tech averaged 19.6 million viewers on CBS.

The women's final also recorded the highest viewership for a Sunday afternoon sporting event on ESPN and ABC since early 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a Boeing engineer’s claims that the company took manufacturing shortcuts on two wide-body jets, with potentially catastrophic outcomes.
