About this episode

The episode discusses CommBank's significant stock drop, Xero's disappointing profits post-acquisition, and CNN's new weather app launch.

CommBank’s shares have seen their biggest single-day fall in history earlier this week after wiping $30 billion from its market value. Xero's revenue jumped 31%...but profits fell 27% after its multi-billion dollar US acquisition has hurt the bottom line. CNN has launched a stand-alone weather app…three years after its last digital product collapsed in just 29 days. _ Download the free app (App Store):  http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay   Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter   Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta   Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance   —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.
