Morgan Stanley says Amazon (AMZN +1.3% ) could take on the travel industry. Analyst Brian Nowak: "Online travel has proven immune to Amazon disruption so far. But as we have seen with other categories, that doesn't mean Amazon won't try again, and they should. The analyst thinks Amazon could make $600M in profits per year if it built an online business half Expedia's size. Travel stocks that could move on the news: Expedia (EXPE +1.1% ), Tripadvisor (TRIP +0.8% ), Booking Holdings (BKNG +1.1% ).
We are witnessing the death of the millennial hipster – and it could cost the travel industry dear
I am suffering from a strange new Millennial affliction. Selfies have become an embarrassing practice from my near-youth, along with wearing too much kohl and advocating red-hot socialism. Reports have emerged that reclaimed wood is on its way out and the men of Shoreditch are shaving off their hipster beards. This is a relief for people like me, but a problem if you work in tourism. According to interior software company, Modsy, this boils down to a slicker, more glamorous look (expensive looking vintage rather than tatty Millennial kitsch; bold pops of colour; slick design pieces like Barcelona chairs).
