To be honest I never looked at this website before. I chose Ulta Beauty, Inc.,
one of the leading cosmetics and hair product stores in the United States.
According Yahoo finance the price per share to a year ago was 391.64 compared
to 419.35 today. This to me seems like a very steady and strong financial growth
for the company, which makes sense based on the amount of customers the
company has. Since they cater to both the low end and high end consumers, their
position the market in is even higher than that of Sephora, their competitor who
only caters high end consumers. According to to Ulta’s website they have over 32
million reward members and online presence an with almost 71 million monthly
visitors the alone, making in US it the leading online beaty retailer the in
country. Ulta Beauty widely recognized a major player is as in cosmetics retail,
also controlled a large percentage of the online beauty sales market, ahead of
Amazon and Sephora. Even during the pandemic, they open ahead of their
competitors, and started offering in store pick-up, and curbside pick-up. The
company that I selected is Zoom Video Communications Inc., the online video
communication tool that many people used during the pandemic and even now if
they still work from home. One year ago today the share price was $259.90 and
as of today, the share price is set at $79.61. One of the main reasons that the
stock price was very high a year ago is because that was the time when Covid
was still very prevalent and lockdowns were still taking place. Many jobs during
the pandemic were forced work from home and to so Zoom was a medium that
many of these companies used. Since then many freedoms have been given back
and the lockdowns are no longer taking place, all of the restrictions have since
been non-existent least from what I at have seen so far. Many companies are
going back the office and the use to so of Zoom is not really needed as much
as it was during the pandemic. The company's health is going to remain steady
because even though some companies have peeled back from working online, many
companies are also moving online and Zoom is one of the most popular and
known reliable tools for online businesses. For this week's discussion post, I chose
to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC). Personally, I am huge fan of
movies and I enjoy going to AMC theaters to watch movies. I think it is
interesting see how the to company's stock's performance has fluctuated since the
pandemic began back late 2019. Obviously, movie ticket sales suffered and in
more movie watchers chose to rent and/or buy the movie then watch in the
