Stock Movers: Paramount Skydance, Amazon, Cava
On this edition of Stock Movers: - Paramount Skydance (PSKY) shares climbed as much as 29% on Wednesday, adding to Tuesday's 8.4% advance. The stock is the top performer today in the S&P 500. Paramount Skydance is the resulting company formed by Paramount Global's merger with Skydance Media, which was approved by the FCC on July 25; the combined company began trading on Aug. 8. On Aug. 11, Paramount said it has acquired the exclusive rights to show all events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US from TKO Group in a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal. In a research note dated Aug. 12, Evercore ISI media analyst Kutgun Maral wrote that Paramount Skydance's UFC deal sends a 'loud message to Hollywood, sports leagues, and Wall Street alike that the merged company is prepared to invest in its ambitions to empower its creative engines and scale Paramount+ globally'. - Amazon (AMZN) shares are rising after the company plans to offer same-day grocery delivery in 2,300 cities by the end of the year, more than doubling the current number and marking its latest attempt to muscle into the $1 trillion grocery industry led by its top retail competitor Walmart Inc. Customers will be able to order perishable items such as produce, dairy, meat, seafood and baked goods, alongside frozen foods and household items, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. Same-day grocery delivery is free for Amazon Prime subscribers on orders over $25 in most cities, it said. For non-members, the service carries a $12.99 fee, regardless of order size. - Cava Group (CAVA) shares plummeted after the company trimmed its annual sales guidance, as skittish diners spent less on restaurant meals. The fast-casual Mediterranean chain now says sales at established locations will expand 6% at most this year, while it previously forecast an increase of as much as 8%. The cut came after quarterly sales grew at the slowest rate since the first quarter of 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

A 20-year Disney veteran, Ayaz has shaped marketing strategies for some of the most successful film releases in history, including nine of the top 15 box office debuts of all time, and 18 films that have passed the $1 billion mark at the global box office since he began overseeing marketing for the studio.

In its third quarter earnings for 2025, Disney+ and Hulu swung to a profit of $346 million, , compared to a loss of $19 million in the year-ago period, and saw revenue grow 6% to $6.2 billion, driven by price increases and subscriber growth.

Work is also underway to make various technical improvements in the Disney+ app, including new features and a more personalized home page. Disney plans to launch a unified, standalone Hulu-Disney+ streaming app in 2026. Looking ahead, Disney expects to add more than 10 million subscribers in the fiscal fourth quarter, with the majority of the increase coming from Hulu as a result of its expanded deal with Charter Communications. Disney+ subscribers are expected to see a modest increase from the third quarter. Disney+ and Hulu will also stop reporting subscriber and average revenue per user figures starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, while ESPN+ will stop in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025.

Jeremy Clarkson to finally offer ‘banned' product at pub after huge demand
Jeremy Clarkson will finally sell tomato sauce at his pub after originally declaring the eatery a 'no ketchup' zone. When the 65-year-old opened his Oxfordshire watering hole The Farmer's Dog in August 2024, he revealed it would 'serve exclusively British food'. This meant that the popular condiment, which is made from ingredients grown outside the UK, would be banned from the menu. Following thousands of requests from customers, however, Clarkson has approved the sauce's addition to the menu after a Chatham-based producer made it using solely British ingredients. Condimaniac ketchup is made of tomato passata from Isle of Wight, apple cider vinegar from Hants, Essex salt, and sugar and onions sourced from Britain. 'Making a 100 per cent British ketchup after Jeremy Clarkson alerted us to the fact there wasn't one was very hard,' the company's boss Kier Kemp said in an Instagram video chronciling the sauce's creation. 'It turned out to be really hard,' he added, noting Clarkson's Diddly Squat team requested the sauce 'as soon as possible'. Kemp said the company is making two sauces at the same time – one containing carrots and onion 'used to thicken' the sauce, as there is no purely British tomato puree. Condimaniac, which started with 1,700 bottles, will be offered at the Clarkson's butcher and bottle shop. It sauce will also be sold at Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop, based in Chipping Norton, from Friday (15 August). The move is a big turnaround from Clarkson, considering the former Grand Tour star became so fed up with requests that a sign was put up telling customers to stop asking for the condiment. Speaking about the products on offer when the pub first opened its doors, Clarkson said: 'The menu changes – it's whatever we've got. There's no Coca-Cola, no coffee. Other pubs do coffee. We do British food. 'Everything that you consume in here – every single thing – even the black pepper and the sugar, is grown by British farmers.' Diddly Squat, a 1,000-acre holding, is at the centre of Clarkson's Farm, which follows the TV presenter's journey as a new farmer and the challenges he faces along the way. The 64-year-old former Top Gear presenter paid less than £1m for the pub based in Asthall, which was formerly known as The Windmill. Its opening, however, was marred by complaints surrounding the absence of prices on the menu, with many fans suspecting that this might suggest dishes would be more expensive than at other pubs in the area. When one person joked on X/Twitter that they would need to remortgage their home to afford a round of drinks at Clarkson's pub, the presenter bluntly responded: 'It's £5.50 a pint.'
