China’s tech and consumer earnings stood out in an otherwise disappointing results season, emerging as pockets of resilience that can help equity markets turn a corner as stimulus measures kick in.
Members of the MSCI China Index delivered an 8.1% positive earnings surprise for the April-June quarter as the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors helped offset disappointments elsewhere, notably at troubled real estate firms, data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence show. The performance of the two sectors is crucial given that they account for about half of the MSCI gauge’s weight.
The benchmark CSI 300 Index rose 2.2% this week following a rout through most of August. Meanwhile, forward earnings estimates for MSCI China members have climbed 0.6% from this year’s low at the end of June, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. China’s internet leaders were relatively freer to pursue growth in 2023 after more supportive rhetoric from Beijing, signaling regulators were relaxing policies put in place earlier to constrain what they termed a disorderly expansion of capital by the private sector.

Hollywood strikes: ‘Focus on the consumer,’ MNTN CEO saysThere are several issues writers and Hollywood studios are battling over in their contract talks including streaming, AI, and writers’ rooms. Recently, media mogul Barry Diller warned of consequences for studios if they continue partnering with streaming companies like Netflix (NFLX). MNTN CEO Mark Douglas joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the comments. “If you look at the economics on it, I’m not sure how that quite works,” Douglas says. Douglas notes that Disney (DIS) “did about $10 billion in studio revenue last year,” whereas Netflix (NFLX) did “three times that, just by themselves. So they’re the size of like a couple of major studios combined, so I don’t know how you take an industry that seems to be largely striking over streaming and try to separate it out.” “Whenever these studios are in trouble, it’s like the finance team takes over and it just doesn’t make sense,” Douglas says. “These studios have to meet consumers where they are. The consumer sees no difference,” Douglas discusses. Douglas also notes that this is “not new. All this talk was on DVDs,” 20, 30 years ago as well. “Every time there’s a new technology, it’s like everyone’s up in arms over it. And so, bottom line, focus on the consumer, bring the content, consumers will bring the dollars, and... we can go forward with everyone entertained and the industry in a healthy state,” Douglas adds.

On the consumer, Nagel says 'this is one of the most fluid, frankly one of the most confusing consumer environments I have ever seen.' 'I think what we're seeing here is a discerning consumer,' Nagel adds.
