Trade Desk slumps 28% on miss as downgrades mount, while peers stand firm

The Trade Desk shares tumbled 28% after Q2 revenue of $715 million missed estimates and its Q3 outlook of at least $650 million fell short of consensus around $805 million, triggering a broad downgrade wave as analysts cite macro pressure on advertisers, execution issues and a shift to cheaper programmatic media; meanwhile AppLovin and Magnite showed relative strength, suggesting the weakness is company-specific rather than a wider ad-tech downturn.

Nothing Phone 4(b) Goes Low-Cost by Trimming Core Specs

Nothing's Phone 4(b) launches at £299 (~$399), undercutting the 4(a) but at the cost of several downgrades: plastic back instead of glass, a lower‑resolution 6.77‑inch display with dimmer brightness and lower PPI, a slower Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, older UFS 2.2 storage, a reduced dual-camera setup (no telephoto), and slower 33 W charging despite a larger 5,200 mAh battery. The price cut is modest, and reviewers argue the 4(a) remains the better value for only a bit more, thanks to superior display, performance, camera versatility, and charging.

iPadOS 27 Drops Older iPads, Stirring Downgrade Debates

iPadOS 27 Drops Older iPads, Stirring Downgrade Debates

iPadOS 27 will no longer support iPad models with the A12/A12X chips (iPad 8th gen, iPad Air 3, iPad mini 5, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st gen, and iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd gen), leaving several 6–8 year old devices behind despite iOS 27 supporting older iPhones. The piece suggests two possible mitigations: allow downgrades from iPadOS 27 by enabling iPadOS 26 on eligible devices (Apple currently unsigns older firmware, and older iPadOS security updates exist); or, though unlikely, extend iPadOS 27 to those older devices. The author notes a precedent in 2022 when Stage Manager was expanded to older iPad Pro models and wonders if a similar reversal could happen. It also points out Apple continues security updates for iPadOS 18 (e.g., 18.7.9), indicating older devices aren’t entirely abandoned. The article frames the situation as a debate between forward progress and keeping older hardware usable.)

"Cocoa Prices Surge to Record Highs, Impacting Easter Weekend Treats"

Hershey Co. was downgraded by BNP Paribas Exane to neutral from outperform due to the surge in cocoa prices, which have more than doubled this year and hit a record high. The EU Deforestation Regulation is adding structural costs to the cocoa supply chain, leading to concerns that the inflation may be more long-term than previously thought. Analysts have reduced their earnings estimates for Hershey, and the company has indicated it will use various strategies, including price increases, to combat input inflation. Morgan Stanley also downgraded the stock, citing risks including the significant cocoa inflation.
