Amazon's ad bonanza continues with $2.5 billion last quarter


Amazon’s ad business continued its breakneck growth last quarter, hitting $2.5 billion in sales, showing once again why the company is earning its place as the No. 3 digital advertising player behind Facebook and Google.

On Thursday Amazon released third-quarter earnings, and while investors were concerned about its forecast for this holiday quarter, advertising remained a bright spot. Ads are Amazon’s fastest-growing segment, climbing 123 percent year over year.

Overall, the e-commerce giant posted sales revenue of $56.6 billion in the third quarter, a 29 percent increase year over year. Amazon also hit record profits of $2.9 billion. Its forecast of $72.5 billion in sales in the fourth quarter, however, was lower than Wall Street analysts hoped.

Comcast soars the most in five years after profit tops estimates


Comcast rallied the most in more than five years after its focus on improving internet service paid off in the third quarter, with the largest U.S. cable provider posting a big increase in broadband subscribers. The company added 363,000 internet subscribers in the period, a 70 percent increase from a year earlier. Comcast has had only one previous quarter in the past six with larger broadband customer gains.

The growth should ease investor concern that broadband is slowing and shows why much of the company’s capital is going toward network upgrades. It’s now the biggest U.S. provider of gigabit speeds.

The pay-TV business remains tough, with video subscribers shrinking as more U.S. customers go for cheaper options such as AT&T’s DirecTV Now. The U.S. video losses are a reminder why Comcast is paying $39 billion for Sky Plca pay-TV company in Europe, where cord-cutting isn’t so prevalent.

Google: 48 people have been fired for sexual harassment in last two years


Google CEO Sundar Pichai sought to reassure employees of the internet giant after a New York Times report said a former top executive was paid millions of dollars when he left following allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct.

In the past two years, 48 people have been terminated for sexual harassment, including 13 who were senior managers and above, Pichai and Eileen Naughton, vice president of people operations, wrote in an email to staff. None of these individuals received an exit package, they added.

A Google employee accused Android chief Andy Rubin of coercing her into performing oral sex in a hotel room in 2013, the New York Times reported on Thursday. Google investigated, concluded her claim was credible, and asked Rubin to resign. The company could have fired Rubin and paid him little to nothing, but instead, it paid him a $90 million exit package and didn’t say anything publicly, the newspaper reported.

Chipotle says month-old ad campaign is already paying off


Chipotle Mexican Grill’s new “For Real” campaign really seems to be paying off.

The burrito chain had a “noticeable” lift in sales after the ads began running in late September, CEO Brian Niccol said on a conference call discussing the company’s third quarter results Thursday.

The campaign from Venables Bell & Partners, which highlights Chipotle’s food preparation techniques, will run on TV through mid-November. After that, national media will be used “where and when it makes sense” while digital and social efforts will continue, Niccol said on the call.
