The order includes 10 777-9 passenger planes and four 777-8 freighters, with additional options for another five 777-9s and four 777-8 freighters.

Deliveries for the new aircraft will commence in 2029.

In recent trading, Boeing Co.'s stock was priced at $187.70, with a slight increase of $2.68, reflecting a 0.01% change from the prior close. The stock began the day at $186.76, reaching an intraday high of $188.55 and a low of $185.39. The intraday volume was recorded at 447,206.

The commitments reflect a significant investment in the airline's long-term growth and sustainability.

CoStar Group Inc., a prominent player in the real estate analytics industry, is set to acquire Domain Holdings Australia for A$2.65 billion (around $1.7 billion). This acquisition signals a significant expansion into the Australian market. According to Reuters, CoStar has offered A$4.20 per share in cash for Domain's outstanding shares, which is a 34.6% premium over the closing price before the offer. The news of the acquisition led to a surge in Domain's stock, which jumped as much as 45%, reaching a three-year high of A$4.28. Prior to making this offer, CoStar already held a 16.9% stake in Domain, positioning it well for this full acquisition. However, this deal must still secure approval from Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board. This purchase marks CoStar's first venture into owning an asset in Australia. The move demonstrates the company's strategy to bolster its presence in the competitive Australian real estate market and represents its first significant investment in the region.

Peloton Slashes Marketing Costs Again as Part of Restructuring

Peloton Slashes Marketing Costs Again as Part of Restructuring

1 hours agoPTON

Peloton is doubling down on its efforts to reach profitability by slashing its marketing expenses for the fourth consecutive quarter. The company has been aggressively implementing cost-saving measures, including an 18.5% reduction in sales and marketing expenses year-over-year, bringing them down to $112 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. This move is part of a broader restructuring initiative announced in May 2024, aimed at reducing annual expenses by over $200 million by the end of fiscal 2025 through various means, including cutting 400 jobs globally. Despite these cuts, Peloton managed a marginal 0.2% increase in revenue for the fourth quarter, the first sales uptick in nine quarters, as reported by Reuters. However, the company anticipates a decline in connected fitness subscribers for the upcoming fiscal year, with projections falling short of analysts' expectations. This projection could pose a challenge as Peloton strives to maintain momentum in an increasingly competitive fitness market. The changes at Peloton are not limited to cost reductions; the company is also undergoing leadership transformations. After CEO Barry McCarthy's departure in May 2024, interim co-CEOs Karen Boone and Chris Bruzzo have taken the reins while the company searches for a permanent replacement. Investors have reacted optimistically to Peloton's restructuring efforts, with shares spiking 28% following the announcement, though recent trading saw a minor decrease in stock price, sitting at $6.51 at last check.
