CE 100 Index Loses 2.1% but ‘Have Fun’ Pillar Gains Ground

Apr 08, 2024 - pymnts.com
The CE 100 Index experienced widespread losses over the past week, with the "Have Fun" pillar being the only one to gain, largely due to Spotify's shares rising by 17.6% after the appointment of a new CFO, Christian Luiga. Meanwhile, Meta shares increased by 8.6% as the company modified its approach to handling AI-manipulated media, despite reported outages on Instagram and WhatsApp in the U.S. and other countries.

On the other hand, Ocado shares dropped nearly 17%, contributing to a 3.6% decrease in the "Shopping" segment of the CE 100 Index, despite a rise in revenue and average weekly orders. Peloton shares also fell by 15.5%, leading to a 4.3% decrease in the "Be Well" pillar. This comes after reports of the company failing to make timely payments to vendors and a 6% decrease in total revenue for the quarter, despite a 3% rise in subscription revenue.

Key takeaways:

  • The CE 100 Index experienced widespread losses, with Spotify shares gaining 17.6% following the appointment of a new CFO, Christian Luiga.
  • Meta has adjusted its approach to handling AI-manipulated media, with platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Threads now labeling a wider range of content as 'Made with AI'.
