ATTOM has released its Year-End 2021 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows foreclosure filings— default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — were reported on 151,153 U.S. properties in 2021, down 29 percent from 2020 and down 95 percent from a peak of nearly 2.9 million in 2010, to the lowest level since tracking began in 2005. Those 151,153 properties with foreclosure filings in 2021 represented 0.11 percent of all U.S. housing units, down from 0.16 percent in 2020 and down from a peak of 2.23 percent in 2010. “The COVID-19 foreclosure tsunami that some people had anticipated is clearly not happening,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president at RealtyTrac,

an ATTOM company. “Government and mortgage industry efforts have prevented millions of unnecessary foreclosures, and while it’s likely that we’ll see a slight increase in the first quarter, we probably won’t see foreclosure activity back to normal levels before the end of 2022.” ATTOM’s year-end foreclosure report provides a unique count of properties with a foreclosure filing during the year based on publicly recorded and published foreclosure filings collected in more than 3,000 counties nationwide, and those counties account for more than 99 percent of the U.S. population, also available for license or customized reporting. See full methodology below. The report also includes new data for

December 2021, showing there were 17,971 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings, down 8 percent from the previous month but up 65 percent from a year ago. Bank repossessions decrease 98 percent since their peak in 2010 Lenders repossessed 25,662 properties through foreclosure (REO) in 2021, down 49 percent from 2020 and down 98 percent from a peak of 1,050,500 in 2010, to the lowest level as far back as data is available — 2006. “We believe that repossessions will continue to be lower than normal throughout 2022,” Sharga noted. “Homeowners have a record amount of equity – over $23 trillion – and over 87 percent of homeowners

“Homeowners have a record amount of equity – over $23 trillion – and over 87 percent of homeowners in foreclosure have positive equity. This means that most borrowers will have an opportunity to sell their house at a profit rather than lose everything to a foreclosure auction” Rick Sharga, RealtyTrac

Research-backed ways to boost renter engagement with Google Business Profiles

found in their research influenced their leasing decision. To guide renters during this critical phase of the journey to lease signing, many properties have already created a Business Profile, Google’s answer to a traditional business listing. But simply having a Business Profile is no longer enough, nor is it an effective tool for taking full advantage of all Google has to offer. A Google Business Profile is a free solution that allows properties to own their Business Profile and better manage, edit and optimize the profile for its specific needs from SEO to lead generation. How much better? Through a pilot program completed in October 2021, Waggoner and his team of researchers at RentPath manually uploaded data from RentPath’s Content Manager to 423 test location Google Business Profiles and tracked 1,020 additional locations with no changes to the property’s GBP. The results showed that properties with fully realized GBPs saw 22 percent more impressions and 13 percent more actions on average than properties without. “The clearest take away,” Waggoner said, “is that the more content you have on your GBP, the more impressions you’re going to get and the more actions people are going to take, and that’s a good thing.” Regardless of whether content was uploaded from RentPath or already present on a property’s GBP before the study began, locations with any content realized a 37 percent increase in impressions and a 73 percent increase in actions. For properties with all fields populated, impressions increased by 67

percent and actions more than doubled, increasing by 112 percent. Singularly, the biggest driver of impact was images. Images delivered 50 percent more impressions and 84 percent more actions than posts without. GBPs with images also saw a 41 percent jump in requests for driving directions and a 22 percent increase in website clicks. The presence of “Posts” increased impressions by almost half, up 49 percent, and saw a 31 percent increase in actions. “About” content increased impressions and actions by 36 percent and 40 percent respectively. And “Q&A” content saw significant positive increases in actions across the board, including phone calls. “If I’m a business trying to fill out content for my GBP and I need to pick and choose which content to include,” Waggoner said, “I’m going to want to pick images first then make sure I have Google Posts and Q&A content.” But Waggoner adds there’s an additional benefit for properties who aren’t selective: a leg up on local competition. During their research, Waggoner and his team found that use of GBPs is not yet widely adopted and 96 percent of the properties in the control group failed to have complete GBPs. “There’s a big gap there,” he said, “and that gap in content is what caused the test group to outperform the control group on nearly every metric.” Written by Jon Leckie of RentPath - a leading digital marketing solutions company, that empowers millions nationwide to find apartments and houses for rent.

BY: JON LECKIE • Leveraging Google Business Profiles (GBP) is a key differentiator in increasing the impressions and actions of potential renters. • For properties with all fields populated on GBPs, impressions increased by 67 percent and actions increased by 112 percent. • Images yielded the biggest results, delivering 50 percent more impressions and 84 percent more actions than posts without. The importance of Google search results and reviews for any multifamily property is hard to overstate. As previous RentPath research has shown, properties with just 10 or more recent reviews saw four times more leads on average than properties without. Now, a new study from RentPath shows that leveraging Google Business Profiles is another key differentiator in increasing the impressions and actions of potential renters who have an increasing pool of options. “Having a Google Business Profile (GBP) page is like taking out an ad in The New York Times, except it only costs time to fill out,” said Greg Waggoner, a Senior Product Manager at RentPath who led the new study. “You can either put some info in a small corner box, or you can take out a full-page ad. A well realized GBP is a full-page ad, and the more page space you can claim, the better results you should expect.” The need for properties to claim more page space is directly correlated with recent renter behavior. The majority of renters seriously considered between three and seven different communities during their most recent move, according to a 2020 survey from the National Multifamily Housing Council. To distinguish between their options, potential renters have turned increasingly to online research and reviews. As many as 72 percent of renters referenced ratings, including those listed on Google, when searching for a new apartment, and 85 percent of renters said what they

January home sales figures show buyer activity impacted by rising rates at start of the year Home sales activity across the Charlotte region started the new year off, nearly on par with sales at the start of last year, as 3,521 homes sold across the 16-county region, a slight decrease of 0.7 percent year-over-year. Sales compared to the month of December were down 25.1 percent, signaling a shift in buyer activity as a result of rising rates. These are completed transactions that include single-family and condo/townhomes only, according to data from Canopy MLS. Pending sales, which are typically a forward-looking indicator and predictor of future sales, showed buyer demand declined 5.3 percent year-over-year as 4,364 homes went under contract during January. Still, month-over-month contract activity is up 12 percent, showing demand is somewhat steady in the region, and buyer activity building just ahead of the spring selling season. January’s spate of winter weather, along with rising rates and growing economic concerns may have caused buyers to pull back, leaving only serious buyers in the market, which is typical. The Charlotte market along with much of the southeast was also impacted by seasonality in January. New listing activity also cooled this past month, falling 12.9 percent year-over-year as sellers listed 3,892 homes for sale compared to 4,469 homes that were listed during the same period last year. New listing activity compared to the month of December 2021, however increased 12.4 percent month-over-month, which means sellers are still confident about the market and are listing homes for sale. Should this type of seller activity continue, buyers should see more choice available in time for the spring market, even though the market will still heavily favor sellers. “Though sales are off to a slower start, sales activity is still healthy overall for this time of year, said 2022 Association/ Canopy MLS President Lee Allen. “Buyers in the market for homes in the region are now dealing with multiple headwinds, from rising rates and inflation to tight inventory and a market where homes are

selling within a few weeks and in some cases a couple days. Even though mortgage rates are rising in comparison to where they were a year ago, they’re still at historic lows and remain attractive.” Inventory remains low and showed 2,546 homes for sale at report time, or 0.5 months of supply, which is approximately 15 days of supply at the current pace. This time last year the 16-county market had about one month of supply. Tight supply will continue to impact prices this year. In January both the median sales price ($349,700) and the average sales price ($393,550) rose 22.7 percent and 15.8 percent year-over-year, while the average list price rose 14.7 percent year-over-year to

$425,970. This brought the original list price to sales price ratio to 100.1 percent, showing sellers receiving more than asking prices at the start of the year. Allen added, “Rising prices affect all buyers, however first-time buyers and workforce buyers in particular will continue to be impacted by our region’s growing lack of affordability and fast-moving market, especially in areas of high demand and closer to the city of Charlotte. The complexities of a low inventory market, highlight the importance of buyers’ relationships with their lender and Realtor®.” Similar to last January, homes sold quickly. The average number of days a property was on market form the time

it was listed until it closed (list to close) was 82 days compared to 84 days in January 2021. Days on market, the metric that accrues for “Active” and “Under Contract-show” statuses, averaged 23 days, which is even faster than January 2021 when homes averaged 27 days on market until sale. Canopy Realtor® Association provides monthly reports on residential real estate market activity for the Charlotte region based on data from Canopy MLS. The Charlotte region, which this report is based on, includes 12 counties in North Carolina and four counties in South Carolina. Staff report

Two Out Of Three Metro Areas Add Construction Jobs From November 2020 To November 2021

Construction employment increased in nearly two out of three U.S. metro areas between November 2020 and November 2021, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of new government employment data. Association officials said the job gains were welcome news for the industry but cautioned that it will be difficult for construction levels to return to pre-pandemic levels amid tight labor market conditions. “It isn’t surprising that construction employment has

picked up in most metros over the past year, given the strong economic rebound most of the country has experienced,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “But with record job openings in construction, it’s clear that even more metros should be in the plus column if contractors could find the workers they need and get materials delivered on schedule.” Construction employment increased in 237 or 66 percent of 358 metro areas over the last 12 months. Sacramento--Roseville--Arden-Arcade, Calif. added the most construction jobs (7,300 jobs, 10 percent), followed by Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (7,000 jobs, 7 percent); Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, Ill. (6,500 jobs, 5 percent); Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass. (6,200 jobs, 8 percent); and Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minn.-Wis. (6,100 jobs, 7 percent). Sioux Falls, S.D. had the highest percentage increase, 19 percent (2,000 jobs). It was followed by three metros with 16 percent increases: Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas (3,200 jobs); Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J. (800 jobs) and Waterbury, Conn. (500 jobs). Construction employment declined from a year earlier in 74 metros and was flat in 47. Nassau County-Suffolk County, N.Y. lost the most jobs (-6,300 or -8 percent), followed by Orange-Rockland-Westchester counties, N.Y. (-3,900 jobs, -9 percent); Calvert-Charles-Prince George’s counties, Md. (-2,700 jobs, -8 percent); Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas (-2,600 jobs, -1 percent) and Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, Tenn. (-2,600 jobs, -5 percent). The largest percentage declines were in Evansville, Ind.-Ky. (-18 percent, -1,800 jobs); Leominster-Gardner, Mass. (-14 percent, -300 jobs); Anchorage, Alaska (-11 percent, -1,100 jobs); Altoona, Pa. (-10 percent, -300 jobs); and Florence-Muscle Shoals, Ala. (-10 percent, -400 jobs). Association officials said most construction firms report they are struggling to find enough qualified workers to hire. The officials called on the Biden administration to boost funding for career and technical education to expose more students to construction career opportunities. They noted that federal officials put six dollars into collegiate education and preparation for every dollar they currently invest in career and technical education. “The gap in federal funding for career and technical education is making it hard for sectors like construction, manufacturing and shipping to find workers interested in those career tracks,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “We are doing everything we can to recruit people into high-paying construction careers but exposing more students to construction skills will certainly help.”

Crescent Communities Announces the Sale of a Multifamily Community in Charlotte

Crescent Communities is pleased to announce the sale of a multifamily community in Charlotte: NOVEL Atherton. The development is one of several multifamily communities by Crescent Communities in the area and represents the company’s strategic interest and continued growth in the Charlotte market. Eastdil Secured represented Crescent Communities on this transaction. “It has been rewarding to watch NOVEL Atherton progress from a concept into a thriving community anchoring the vibrant South End neighborhood,” said Michael Tubridy, Managing Director for the Carolinas and Tennessee for Crescent Communities. “Crescent Communities is thrilled with the investment community’s

The address for the new Mac’s will be 8021 Concord Mills Blvd., Concord, N.C. It’s expected to open in late spring/ early summer of 2022. Rendering courtesy of Mac’s Speed Shop overwhelming response to the quality and value of the development, and we are excited to partner with a buyer that has expressed a strong desire to incorporate NOVEL Atherton into their portfolio.” NOVEL Atherton by Crescent Communities, which welcomed first residents in October 2019, is part of the highly anticipated heart and hub of the flourishing Historic South End neighborhood. The community is walking distance from over three million sq. ft. of office space, restaurants, and shops, including 65,000 sq. ft. of street-level retail within the greater Atherton development. The stabilized community is also adjacent to a Publix grocery store and the Lynx Blue Line Light Rail, providing residents immediate access to the rest of the Charlotte metropolitan area. In 2020, NOVEL Atherton received the first-ever Fitwel certification for a multifamily community in the state of North Carolina. The designation was awarded by the Center for Active Design, which serves as the operator of Fitwel programming and recognition. Within the community, residents have access to exclusive amenities and spaces designed to connect, including a saltwater pool with Uptown skyline views, resident lounge with billiards, shuffleboard, card table and library, an outdoor bar, rooftop sky lounge, multiple co-working spaces, two courtyards, 3,000 square-foot two-story fitness club and secure bike storage. The community recently recognized its robust leasing numbers with an onsite grand celebration for residents and partners in the project. Photos of NOVEL Atherton and the grand celebration are available here. Crescent Communities’ partners in the development of NOVEL Atherton included general contractor Summit Contracting Group of Jacksonville, Atlanta-based Dwell Design Studio serving as the architect, Charlotte based civil engineer and landscape design firm LandDesign, and interiors by locally based INTEC Group and BB+M Interiors. Crescent Communities has plans to continue growing its footprint in Charlotte with more announcements to come. Crescent Communities recently announced the land closing of NOVEL Ballantyne, its 14th multifamily investment in the Charlotte market, where the company also is headquartered. In addition, NOVEL LoSo Station is now leasing and NOVEL University Place recently broke ground. More broadly, Crescent Communities continues to experience significant growth with $6.0 billion of multifamily and commercial investments and developments currently under construction, operations and planning including 13,000 units of multifamily, 260,000 square feet of complimentary retail and 8.0 million square feet of office, industrial and life-sciences. With a focus on sustainable development practices, the organization pursues USGBC LEED certification for commercial spaces and NGBS certification for multifamily residences. Staff report

ENNICO: Dealing with the ‘Noncompete from Hell’ When Hiring an Employee “I run a small service business that’s been around for 30 years. As I get older, I’m getting tired of running this business alone. I want to hire and train a general manager to run the business day to day, with the understanding that when it comes time to retire, I will pass ownership of the business on to this person. I have found the absolutely perfect person to hire as manager. He works for a competing company and is absolutely miserable there. (The owners are real SOBs.) I can offer this young man a better future, and he recognizes that. The problem is that earlier this year, his employer made him sign a noncompete agreement. They threatened to fire him if he didn’t sign. I’m not a lawyer, but the agreement looks pretty bad. It says he cannot ‘own (other than ownership in a publicly traded company), operate, manage or participate in the ownership of any company or control of any person, company or entity which is in competition with’ his current employer for two years after he leaves the company. I would like to hire this person. He has amazing skills our company needs -- but I don’t want to get sued. I’ve heard that noncompete agreements are often not enforceable in the courts. Is that true?” Courts do not like noncompete agreements in employment contracts and often construe them very narrowly against employers. Except in a handful of states (such as California) that have banned them outright, however, you cannot assume that a noncompete agreement won’t be enforced. If this noncompete agreement is upheld, there’s a good chance that your employee will be sued by breaching his contract, and that his former employer will sue you for “tortious interference” with the contract (“inducing” the employee’s breach). This is more than likely to occur because you clearly knew about the noncompete agreement before you made the employee an offer to switch jobs. Sadly, it looks like whoever drafted this agreement knew what he or she was doing. They did not bar the employee from working for a competitor -- which a court would almost certainly strike down as it would deprive the person of the right to earn a living -- but rather said he cannot own or operate a competing company in an executive or managerial capacity (where, presumably, he would be tempted to disclose or make use of his current employer’s trade secrets, contacts and confidential information, the prevention of which is the true purpose of a noncompete agreement). You will need to speak to a local lawyer who specializes in employment litigation or disputes, as there might -- (SET ITAL) might (END ITAL) -- be a way for you to hire this person without triggering the

noncompete agreement. Here are the questions you should ask the lawyer: --Whether the fact his current employer put a metaphorical gun to his head to make him sign the agreement renders it invalid for lack of proper legal consideration. --Whether you and the other company are actually “competitors” under the agreement. --Whether the noncompete agreement can be circumvented by hiring this person in a nonmanagement capacity (for example, as a clerk or warehouse employee) for the two-year noncompete period. --Given the extremely broad scope of the agreement, whether a court in your state is likely to grant an injunction barring the employee from working for you until the noncompete agreement can be sorted out. If after speaking to the lawyer you do decide to hire this person and take the risk of a lawsuit from his current employer, be sure NOT to: --Give him any sort of title as an officer or manager of your company. --Compensate him as if he were an officer or manager of your company. For example, do not give him a share of your business’ profits or shares of stock in your company. (Although, you may be able to give him options to acquire shares in your company once the two-year noncompete expires.) --Tell customers, vendors and other third parties that he has authority to bind your company to contracts.

--Allow him to solicit business from any customers of his current employer (unless your company had a preexisting relationship with that customer). --To the extent possible, allow him to communicate with other employees of his former employer. (If this is not practical because, for example, some of these people are personal friends or relatives, he should be coached to tell them he cannot make them any offer of employment with your company.) Frankly, I wouldn’t advise a client to take the risk in this situation, especially given your observation that his current employer’s owners are SOBs. In my experience, SOBs are more likely to sue you than nice people, and I’m sure

there are plenty of other fish in the sea if you take the time to look for them.

NOVAK: Fire Those Who Deserve It Q: Stop worrying about employees who quit their jobs. If they don’t want to work for you or your company anymore, let them leave. Everyone should worry about companies that employ incompetent, rude, lazy and untrainable employees who remain employed but deserve to be fired. I run into such employees every day at my company and many other companies, and I walk away wondering how and why they retain their jobs. All my friends have had the same experiences. For example, I took a pair of slacks to be shortened by a tailor. When I picked them up and put them on, they were too short and were ruined. I took a suit to a dry cleaner that shrunk it so that I could no longer wear it, and they refused to take responsibility for what they had done. I was buying a shirt and when the salesperson wrote up the sales ticket, she carelessly put the pen down on the counter and got ink on the shirt. There wasn’t another shirt in stock so I couldn’t buy it. The next two are incredible: I got a double-scoop ice cream cone while walking through a shopping area. After the clerk stacked the ice cream on the cone, he sneezed on it, an obvious accident, but continued to hand it to me; I, of course, refused it and told him I wanted another one, but the lack of sense of that employee to think I would accept it was incredulous. At a restaurant for lunch, our waitress approached our table and asked if we were ready to order. We said we needed a few minutes. She returned 15-20 minutes later despite us waving to get her attention. On coming back to our table, she rudely said, “Do you know what you want now? Because I am really busy.” Our complaints could go on and on, but you get the idea. These things happen to all of us, but nothing is done about it, even when we complain to a manager or when a manager sees it. I understand these are likely temporary or part-time workers, but each of them deserves to be fired. Surely there must be responsible people out

Those metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 1 million that saw the greatest number of REOs in 2021 included Chicago, Illinois (1,733 REOs); St. Louis, Missouri (1,255 REOs); New York, New York (814 REOs); Baltimore, Maryland; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (571 REOs).

there who value having a job, part time or full time, and who value themselves enough to deliver a good performance, even though the job is not going to turn into a career. Why do employers keep this type of person? A: The most likely reason these employees are not fired is that business owners need to protect themselves these days from real or fabricated claims of discrimination. To avoid such claims, an owner needs to have a written complaint detailing the employee’s ill behavior. Though each employee’s action you

experienced was unprofessional, few customers are willing to write a formal and detailed complaint letter to the store owner or manager. Customers may also fear retaliation if the managers accidentally or intentionally release their names to the accused employees. You are right about those employees possibly needing to be fired, but they may instead need: 1) Further training to continue in the job, 2) To receive a written warning for the owner to maintain a proper record for legal purposes, and finally, 3) To be fired if all legal protection

foreclosure starts from last year included Maryland (down 81 percent); Oklahoma (down 70 percent); Idaho (down 64 percent); Nebraska (down 63 percent); and Connecticut (down 60 percent). “The government’s foreclosure moratorium, the mortgage forbearance program, and the mortgage servicing guidelines enacted by the CFPB in August have kept foreclosure starts artificially low over the past year,” Sharga added. “While the recovering economy should prevent a huge increase in defaults, we should see a gradual increase in foreclosure activity as these programs expire, and servicers exhaust all loan modification options for delinquent borrowers.” Counter to the national trend, 4 states saw an annual increase in foreclosure starts. They included South Dakota (up 20 percent); Vermont (up 36 percent); North Dakota (up 71 percent); and Nevada (up 85 percent). Those metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 1 million that had at least 500 foreclosure starts in 2021 and saw the greatest declines in foreclosure starts from last year, included

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (down 56 percent); Washington, DC (down 52 percent); Charlotte, North Carolina (down 51 percent); Cleveland, Ohio (down 42 percent); and Chicago, Illinois (down 42 percent). However, counter to the national trend, 3 metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million that had at least 500 foreclosure starts in 2021, saw an annual increase. They included Birmingham, Alabama (up 4 percent); Miami, Florida (up 17 percent); and Las Vegas, Nevada (up 142 percent). Nevada, Illinois, and Florida post highest state foreclosure rates in 2021 States with the highest foreclosure rates in 2021 were Nevada (0.26 percent of housing units with a foreclosure filing); Illinois (0.23 percent); Florida (0.21 percent); Delaware (0.21 percent); and New Jersey (0.19 percent). Rounding out the top 10 states with the highest foreclosure rates in 2021, were Ohio (0.18 percent); South Carolina (0.15 percent); Indiana (0.15 percent); Connecticut (0.13 percent); and Maryland (0.13 percent).

US stocks move lower, cooling off a day after broad rally

BY DAMIAN J. TROISE AP Business Writers Stocks fell in afternoon trading on Wall Street Wednesday, a day after a broad rally snapped a three-day losing streak. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% as of 1:21 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 274 points, or 0.8%, to 34,715 and the Nasdaq fell 1.2%. Technology and communications stocks were the heaviest weights on the broader market. Microsoft fell 1.1% and Facebook’s parent, Meta, shed 3%. Bond yields were stable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury remained at 2.04% from late Tuesday. The potential for an escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine has so far been a key concern for investors this week. Broader markets rallied on Tuesday after Russia claimed

to remove some of its troops amassed on the Ukraine border. Tensions still remain high as officials from NATO and the West cast doubt on those claims. Energy prices have been particularly volatile so far this week. Russia is a major energy producer and a military conflict could disrupt supplies and jolt markets. U.S. benchmark crude oil prices rose 2.2%, reversing course from a 3.6% slump on Tuesday. Energy stocks gained ground on the reversal. ConocoPhillips rose 1.6%. European markets were mostly lower. Wall Street is also keeping its focus on the Federal Reserve. In the afternoon, the central bank will release minutes from its latest policy meeting and potentially reveal more clues about the next steps it plans on taking in raising interest rates to fight inflation. Traders see a 52% chance for a first

hike in March of half a percentage point, double the traditional move. Rising inflation has been crimping profits and revenue for businesses in a wide range of industries. Many companies have been raising prices to offset the costs, including cereal maker Kellogg. That has raised concerns that consumers could eventually pull back spending, though the latest report from the Commerce Department shows that retail sales remained strong in January as the threat of the omicron variant of COVID-19 faded. The government reported that retail sales surged a seasonally adjusted 3.8% last month, whizzing past the projections of most economists. That compared to the prior month when sales slid 2.5%. Investors brushed off the encouraging retail sales data, but the results and other solid economic updates remain reassuring for the bigger economic

picture as the Fed starts tightening its interest rate policy,” said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab. “The Fed is moving, period,” she said. “That’s happening no matter what, so it’s better if along the way you have economic data that remains resilient.” Wall Street is also monitoring the latest corporate earnings reports to gauge how companies are handling supply chain problems and pressure from rising inflation. Airbnb rose 4.5% after reporting strong financial results and giving investors an encouraging revenue forecast. DoorDash will report its latest results late Wednesday afternoon and Walmart will report its results on Thursday.
