With IMG Arena Integration Complete, Sportradar Is Ready To Grow Further

Sportradar’s (SRAD) acquisition of IMG Arena and its global sports betting rights portfolio is largely complete, giving the company rights to 30,000 new streams and a robust portfolio of events that includes official coverage of Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open tennis Grand Slam.

Yesterday: After soaring to start the day, U.S. indexes ended relatively flat Tuesday as investors weighed volatility in energy markets as well as key inflation data this week. Overall, 9 of the 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with communication services and technology posting modest gains. Meanwhile, oil prices continued to swing sharply in both directions. After climbing as high as $120 on Monday, oil dropped down to $76 on rumors that the U.S. navy had escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. That rumor turned out to be false, prompting oil to climb back up. Lastly, inflation will be back in focus for investors as February’s consumer price index (CPI) will be released this morning.

On Our Radar: Analysts will be paying attention to the consumer price index for the latest read on inflation, the monthly U.S. federal budget, and crude oil inventories. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on UiPath (PATH) which will report after the market close today.

Shares of Sandisk (SNDK), Ciena (CIEN), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) were among the top gainers, while AppLovin (APP), Paramount (PSKY) and Centene (CNC) were among the day’s top laggards. But those weren’t the only companies making big moves. Here’s a look at some of the biggest winners and losers on Tuesday.

On This Day In 1942…

Warren Buffett made his first stock purchase at just 11 years old, buying three shares of Cities Service preferred stock for $38.25 per share. After the price quickly fell, Buffett held on until it recovered and eventually sold for a small profit. Soon after selling, the stock rose to more than $200 per share, a lesson he often cites about the value of patience in investing. The experience became one of the earliest examples of the long-term mindset that would later define Buffett’s success at Berkshire Hathaway.
