Macquarie profits from oil shock | Google replaces Fitbit just 5 years after acquisition | Uber Australia rides its profits overseas

from What the Flux · host Flux

Macquarie has posted a $4.85 billion annual profit… up 30%... after it turned the Iran oil shock into one of the biggest windfalls in the bank's history. Google has quietly killed off the $2.1 billion Fitbit app and replaced it with an AI health coach app for all devices. Uber made $2.1 billion in gross profit in Australia last year and somehow ended up with just under $9 million in net profit. _ Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay   Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter   Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta   Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance   —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.
