Only that they reported first earning back in July after its initial ipo and had 100% growth in almost every category. Stock jumped after report. Companies have been spending big on cyber security lately and the industry has been one of the market leaders. It has recently pulled back as investors are likely taking profits before next earnings report this Thursday. Another good report could give an opportunity to own the stock. Seems everyone want to own high growth these days if overall market is in an uptrend. Always a risk.

no one's breathlessly posting about how the official jobs numbers missed by 30k, even if you include 25,000 temporary census workers? i mean the report came out over an hour ago!

guys?

Nah. That's just more of your typical bullshite.

If you were 'data driven' you would have mentioned "the employment figures were cushioned by strong wage gains which should support consumer spending and keep the economy expanding..." LINK

And as explained in the details of the data, as described this morning on CNBC by Larry Kudlow, the shortfall in jobs was impacted by the lack of eligible workers with the requisite skills. The job openings were there. The needed workers for those open jobs were not.

That's a great problem to have. We never had such a wonderful problem under Obama.

But go ahead and stay negative and miserable if it makes you happy about your own life.

Wait, what's your standard- exhaustively noting everything? Would the dip in weekly hours this year, particularly in manufacturing, be included as well? Should it even stop there, as there are more aspects to all of these reports?

Payrolls is the headline point of this report. And it is the authoritative report. Not the ADP one from yesterday- which several posters immediately came to tout- although it is often a good preview.

I've stated more than once that i don't see an imminent recession. A deceleration is here, though.

That is "explained in the details" of the BLS data? Show us where, because that really sounds made up. Larry Kudlow does not speak for them on authoritative data points, nor does any shill for any administration.

It is. But real wage growth doesn't look like it's truly under much new pressure, if you just step back and look at wage data.

A continued Unemployment rate of 3.7%, the LFPR increased by .2% for July and wages rose another .4% and retail spending is still in the positive YoY at 3.4%.

CCI dropped but that's to be expected with the ridiculous recession narrative the media was pushing (like tomorrow we will be in a recession versus the reality that it takes 6 months to qualify as a recession). Even with that, Spending rose an impressive 344B YoY.

All-in-all, this July wasn't anything great but it wasn't the end of the world either.

August is back-to-school month. Expect stronger YoY sales and consumer spending to continue. If/when Nancy will stop holding the USMCA hostage, expect another boost in CCI which will make investment outlooks better.

The US economy doesn’t have enough workers.

For a record 16 straight months, the number of open jobs has been higher than the number of people looking for work. The US economy had 7.4 million job openings in June, but only 6 million people were looking for work, according to data released by the US Department of Labor.



he numbers are pretty clear about what comes next. If 7.4 million jobs are open and only 6 million people are looking for work, then employers need to find a lot more workers.
