JD DURKIN: I'm JD Durkin, reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. This is what we are seeing today on TheStreet.
stocks are coming off their 10th positive week in the last 11 as traders look forward to a shorter trading week. Investors are analyzing the latest batch of earnings reports from the big banks. Both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley posted strong results in the fourth quarter.
Investors are awaiting retail sales data due on Wednesday, which will give a clearer picture of consumer spending in December.
In other news, the NFL is still the best when it comes to eyeballs on screens and now holds a new record. Saturday's playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs, which aired exclusively on NBC's Peacock, was the most-streamed live event in U.S. history, according to Nielsen.
23 million total viewers watched Kansas City's victory. The game accounted for 30 percent of all Internet traffic while it was played. It even drew more viewers than last year's AFC Wildcard game, which aired on the NBC broadcast network.
Comcast-owned Peacock, which lost $2.8 billion last year, had its “biggest day in audience usage, engagement and time spent, with a record 16.3 million concurrent devices.” Of the viewership record, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts called it a “very proud moment” for the company.
According to a report from Sportico, the NFL was responsible for 93 of the top 100 broadcast programs in 2023, up from 82 the previous year.
That will be enough for your daily report. From the New York Stock Exchange, I'm JD Durkin of TheStreet.
