Chappell Roan promises to perform in Saskatchewan after release of latest single
Chappell Roan departs The Carlyle Hotel prior to attending The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" on Monday, May 5, 2025, in New York. (Photo by Andy Kropa/Invision/AP) More than two weeks after American pop star Chappell Roan released a song with the lyrics 'I'm moving to Saskatchewan,' the province — and the singer— are still buzzing. In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe this week, the singer revealed why she chose to include the Prairie province in her latest single, The Subway. 'It rhymed,' she laughed, going on to say that it is about time Saskatchewan gets global recognition. 'I've never been there, but I promise I will perform there one day.' Since Roan released the song July 31, there has been a spike in the number of Google searches that include the word 'Saskatchewan.' The pop culture moment isn't lost on the province's tourism industry. Leanne Schinkel, Discover Saskatoon's director of marketing, said they've noticed an uptick in social media interactions and DMs since the song came out. 'We definitely can't get this kind of attention on our own,' Schinkel said. 'You'd have to spend millions of dollars to be able to create this kind of awareness.' On Thursday, the attention caught the eye of late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon. 'Chappell Roan's new song, The Subway, has sparked a tourism boom in Saskatchewan,' Fallon said before jumping into a bit where he inserted the word 'Saskatchewan' into several well-known songs. Schinkel said this kind of international attention would be considered the awareness stage of a campaign. Discover Saskatoon is batting around ideas to leverage the spotlight in possible tourism ads, something the group Tourism Saskatchewan is already doing. 'It's an opportunity to be playful and just have a good time and not take ourselves too seriously,' Schinkel said. It's too soon to say if the boost in attention will translate into more visitors, but travel marketing experts say it is not uncommon for pop culture to influence tourist destinations. Visitors flocked to Croatia and Northern Ireland where Game of Thrones was filmed, and Wyoming and Montana saw a surge in tourists thanks to the TV series Yellowstone. 'It's a similar thing for music,' said Amir Eylon, president and CEO of marketing research group Longwoods International. 'The performing arts have an emotional connect with us and travel is a very emotional thing. When you think about the reasons why … you pick certain destinations over others, it's because you have some type of connection that you feel.' Roan's connection to Saskatchewan might be a clever rhyme, but fans of the Pink Pony Club singer say it means more than that. 'It's really cool to have that queer joy in the political climate that we're in,' said Saskatoon Pride Co-Chair and Chappell Roan fan Blake Tait. Saskatchewan's government passed a controversial bill in 2023 that requires parental consent for students under the age of 16 to change their preferred name and pronouns at school. 'It's important that we're so much louder about our queerness,' Tait said. 'I think having a lesbian anthem that mentions the province is a great way to do that.'

Dillard's shares jumped about 3.4% on Friday, following better-than-expected earnings results for the second-quarter fiscal 2025.

DDS Stock's Price Performance Detailed Analysis of DDS' Q2 Performance Total retail sales (excluding CDI Contractors, LLC) increased 1.5% year over year to $1.447 billion.

Our model had predicted comps growth of 1.3% for the fiscal second quarter. The consolidated gross margin contracted 100 basis points (bps) year over year to 36.6%. The retail gross margin of 38.1% reflected a year-over-year decrease of 100 bps as the metric Gross margin increased moderately in shoes and rose slightly in ladies' accessories and lingerie, while it declined slightly in men's apparel and accessories and decreased significantly in ladies' apparel.

Can American Express Thrive in the BNPL Era or Just Survive?
American Express Company AXP, also known as AmEx and well-known for its premium cards and loyalty programs, is navigating the new era of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL). While BNPL has transformed consumers' mindset regarding their spending by offering short-term flexibility that challenges traditional credit methods, the company has opted not to resist the trend but to adapt it to fit in its own model. With its 'Plan It' feature, AmEx gives cardholders the flexibility to break down their purchases of $100 or above into manageable monthly payments, along with its continued feature of earning rewards and benefits from the brand's trusted ecosystem. The company redefined it by integrating BNPL services into the AmEx card experience, which provides installment options with its current services. AXP makes sure that customers see this flexibility as a natural extension of their card benefits, rather than something entirely separate. It is also collaborating with companies to stay visible in the digital shopping age. In this process, AXP is expanding its footprint in the BNPL space and demonstrating that legacy financial players can innovate on their terms while driving growth and retaining customers solidly in their ecosystem. All these results in a massive 98% spend retention. Its network volume rose 7% year over year in the second quarter of 2025. Also, its closed-loop business model will likely enable it to generate more interest income from the growing BNPL trend. These suggest that American Express is clearly positioning itself not only to withstand the BNPL disruption but also to lead it. How Are Competitors Faring? Some of AXP's competitors in the BNPL space are PayPal Holdings, Inc. PYPL and Affirm Holdings, Inc. AFRM. PayPal offers features like Pay in 4 and Pay monthly, which continue to strengthen its BNPL presence. In the second quarter of 2025, PayPal's total payment volume grew 6% year over year. Its active account rose 2% year over year to 438 million in the same period. Affirm is building a solid niche in BNPL with a primary focus on higher-ticket purchases, along with low-ticket purchases. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Affirm's active consumers increased 23% year over year, along with 36% year-over-year growth in its gross merchandise volume. American Express' Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of AXP have declined 2.9% in the year-to-date period against the industry 's growth of 3.8%. From a valuation standpoint, American Express trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.4X, down from the industry average of 20.6. AXP carries a Value Score of B. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for American Express' 2025 earnings is pegged at $15.26 per share, implying a 14.3% jump from the year-ago period. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
