Get Real: Misunderstood and Undervalued?

In today’s Get Real, we focused on Bill Ackman’s Berkshire Hathaway comments, Mexico’s major cannabis milestone, earnings season, and much more.

Misunderstood and undervalued

Berkshire Hathaway’s returns have significantly underperformed the S&P 500 in 2019, and Warren Buffett has faced no shortage of criticism. But not everyone is bearish on Berkshire. In fact, Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Holdings said the company is both misunderstood and undervalued.

The trouble with cord-cutting

After a recent tussle with Fox (FOX), Dish Network (DISH) continues to struggle with content providers. Is Fox trying to pad its bottom line? And is Dish in good shape to cope with cord-cutting?

What to expect from Boeing’s earnings

Investors are waiting for Boeing’s (BA) earnings results next week, no doubt hoping for some respite from the company’s struggles in the wake of the tragic Ethiopian Airlines crash back in March. However, we don’t think next week’s results will do much to help the stock.
