Michaels completes acquisition of Joann's intellectual property and fan-favourite labels
NEW YORK — Craft labels from the now-shuttered fabrics seller Joann are making their way to a new home: Michaels. The Michaels Companies announced on Thursday that it had completed its purchase of Joann's intellectual property and private label brands — in an acquisition that arrives as the Texas-based arts and crafting chain works to expand its own fabric, sewing and yarn offerings. 'We're honored to have the opportunity to welcome JOANN customers into our creative community and are committed to delivering the selection, value, and inspiration they are looking for at Michaels,' Michaels CEO David Boone said in a statement. The deal, he added, allows the company to better 'respond to rising demand' among both new and existing customers. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The Associated Press reached out to Michaels for further information on Friday. With roots dating back to a single Ohio storefront in 1943, Joann had grown into a destination for generations of sewers, quilters, knitters and lovers of other crafts for more than 80 years. But more recently, operational challenges continued to pile up — with the retailer pointing to sluggish consumer demand, inventory shortages and rising competition. Joann announced it would be going out of business back in February, just one month after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time within a year. At the time, the company said financial services company GA Group, together with Joann's term lenders, had been selected as the winning bidder to 'acquire substantially all of Joann's assets' and conduct going-out-of-business sales at all store locations. Michaels on Thursday said that its purchase of Joann's IP and private brands included the acquisition of 'Big Twist' yarns, which had become a staple in Joann stores over the years. Those 'Big Twist' labels are now being developed as part of Michaels' portfolio — and will be available in-stores and online later this year, the company said. In the meantime, Michaels has also dedicated a landing page to welcome former Joann customers online. And as part of its overall expansion into fabrics, Michaels said on Thursday that its adding more than 600 new products from new and existing brands — including quilting supplies and fabrics, specialty threads, sewing machines and more. Michaels, founded in 1973, currently operates 1,300 stores across 49 U.S. states and Canada. Its parent company also owns Artistree, a framing merchandise manufacturer.

Why Broadcom Stock Slumped Today
Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), the semiconductor company that's profited so much from the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution of late, saw its stock slump 3% through 10 a.m. ET this morning after reporting that it beat earnings last night... just barely. Heading into the company's fiscal second quarter of 2025, which ended May 4, analysts forecast Broadcom would earn $1.57 per share in adjusted profits on sales of just under $15 billion. In fact, Broadcom earned $1.58 per share, and its sales were $15 billion. Broadcom Q1 earnings Sales grew 20% year over year in Q2, setting a new quarterly record boosted by 46% year-over-year growth in revenue from AI chips. Adjusted earnings grew twice as fast, up 43%, but generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) earnings did even better, more than doubling to $1.03 per share. (So while GAAP profits weren't nearly as good as non-GAAP, at least they're growing faster.) On the other hand, Broadcom noted that its free cash flow (FCF) in Q2 was only $6.4 billion. And while that represented 44% year-over-year growth, in line with adjusted earnings growth, it was apparently less than the $7 billion FCF that analysts had hoped Broadcom would produce. This realization seems to be outweighing the news of the earnings beat, and depressing Broadcom stock today. Is Broadcom stock a buy? Should investors be worried about this? Not necessarily. While I'm not usually thrilled to see such a large gap between GAAP earnings and non-GAAP earnings, Broadcom's generating tremendous free cash flow -- $22.7 billion over the last 12 months, or nearly twice reported net income. The stock's valuation is high; its price-to-free-cash-flow ratio is 52.5. But Broadcom is growing FCF fast enough that I think the valuation might be justified -- and Broadcom stock could still be a buy. Should you invest $1,000 in Broadcom right now?

Why Concrete Pumping Stock Is Down Big Today
Economic headwinds and bad weather conspired to cut construction activity, which in turn ate into results at Concrete Pumping Holdings (NASDAQ: BBCP). Shares of the multinational concrete provider traded down 17% as of 11 a.m. ET after the company reported results that fell short of Wall Street expectations. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Headwinds weigh on results Concrete Pumping plays a key part in the construction supply chain, providing concrete and concrete waste management services at job sites in the U.S. and in the United Kingdom. But there is only so much the company can do when demand for concrete slows, a scenario that played out in the most recent quarter. The company lost $0.01 per share on revenue of $93.96 million in its fiscal second quarter ending April 30, compared to Wall Street's forecast for a $0.04 per-share profit on sales of $99 million. Concrete Pumping did a good job keeping costs in line and gross margin is actually up slightly for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to a year ago, but the macro story was too much to overcome. "In the second quarter, we continued to navigate a challenging construction environment, marked by persistent macroeconomic headwinds and regional weather disruptions," CEO Bruce Young said in a statement. Management is not anticipating an immediate bounce back. Concrete Pumping cut its full-year revenue forecast to $380 million to $390 million, from $425 million to $445 million, saying it is not forecasting a "meaningful" recovery in the construction market until its fiscal 2026. Is Concrete Pumping stock a buy? Even with the declines, Concrete Pumping is still a long-term winner, up 62% over the past five years. The company has a lot of debt, $387 million at quarter's end, compared to a market capitalization of $317 million, but management remains confident enough in cash flows to pursue opportunistic acquisitions and boost its share buyback program by $15 million. For investors who are bullish long-term on the need for infrastructure revitalization in the U.S. and Western Europe and who are willing to ride out a near-term storm, this decline in Concrete Pumping shares could be viewed as a buying opportunity.
