World Economic Forum Video: Uniting Europe's Markets | Davos 2024 | World Economic Forum
At a time when European economies face higher borrowing costs and strained public budgets, financial integration in Europe remains lower than before the global financial crisis and Europe's capital markets are less developed than those of other advanced economies.
Completing Europe's single market could help on both counts, but why does the political will to do so remain elusive?

Economic Video: Alphabet stock jumps on Q1 earnings beat and first-ever cash dividend
Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) shares surged in after-hours trading on Thursday after the tech giant delivered an earnings beat in the first quarter. Adding to the positive sentiment, the company announced a dividend of $0.20 per share and a share buyback plan. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Market Domination Overtime to provide insights into Alphabet's financial results.
Zino commends both Alphabet's and Microsoft's (MSFT) cloud performance, describing the numbers as "absolutely fantastic." Regarding the dividend announcement, Zino suggests that Alphabet faced some pressure "to do the same" as many of its peers in the "Magnificent Seven" tech companies have been implementing dividend payouts and share buybacks. He refers to the dividend move as "a small little olive branch for investors."
On the subject of artificial intelligence (AI), Zino cautions that investors should not expect "much in terms of product launches" during the earnings call. However, he advises keeping an eye on Google's upcoming I/O conference in May, where the tech giant is likely to provide commentary and unveil details about its AI offerings, including the latest on Google Gemini.

Microsoft (MSFT) reported third quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, with its intelligent cloud revenue revenue posting surprising strength. As a result, shares of the tech giant are higher Thursday after the market close. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss Microsoft's results.
Zino attributes Microsoft's success to its strategic investments in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which have enabled the company to effectively monetize those offerings. He highlights that this achievement is not sector-wide, giving Microsoft a distinct competitive advantage and saying the strong numbers are likely to continue into 2025.
Addressing the potential impact of Microsoft's Copilot on its financial performance, Zino says "that's going to take time." He explains that the company still faces the challenge of persuading customers to adopt and "pay for these Copilots," an issue that extends beyond Microsoft to the entire enterprise software industry.

Business Video: Boeing 737-800 engine cover falls off during Southwest flight
A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency said it will investigate.
In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.”
In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule.
“We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported.
Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations.
