: Molson Coors OKs $2 billion buyback program, targets long-term sales growth in the low single digits

Molson Coors Beverage Co. TAP on Tuesday said its board had cleared a five-year, $2 billion stock buyback program and said it was “on track” to deliver its second straight year of sales and profit growth. The remarks were made in connection with the brewer’s 2023 strategy day in New York. Longer term, executives said they expected “low-single digit” annual net sales growth when factoring out currency fluctuations, with “high-single-digit” yearly “underlying” per-share profit growth. Executives said a bigger push toward more premium beverages would help drive that growth, as well as an expansion beyond beer. They said they expected high-single digit constant-currency sales growth for 2023, but did not offer specific forecasts for 2024. “Over the past few years, long before controversy upended the U.S. beer industry, we changed how we invest, market, and operate, and we changed our future,” Chief Executive Gavin Hattersley said, adding that the company had been “turned around.” Shares rose 0.7% after hours on Tuesday.

: Silicon Valley residents say region is on ‘wrong track,’ half consider leaving in five years: poll

Most Silicon Valley residents, unhappy with housing costs and homelessness, think the region is on the “wrong track” and are considering moving within five years, according to a new survey. The findings from the 2023 Silicon Valley Poll, released Tuesday, are based on a poll of 1,951 adults in the San Francisco Bay Area, who are also upset with the state of the Bay Area’s downtowns, and the unequal distribution of wealth. Nearly seven in 10 said the area is going in the wrong direction, and nearly half say they lack financial stability. Though residents feel compassion for the homeless, they say they are losing patience with tents in public parks and RVs parked on streets.Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
