This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261007369347/en/
The TBOY 10: A weekly power ranking of the 10 companies shaping the business world, cultural trends, and society. The ranking will be informed by Nasdaq’s trending tickers, the Nasdaq-listed companies with the largest recent increases in trading activity, among other qualitative and quantitative data. It will be distributed on the podcast and its YouTube and social media channels.
The IPO Show: An exclusive interview series produced at the Nasdaq MarketSite studio in Times Square, featuring interviews with CEOs and founders of the most innovative public and private companies, as well as behind-the-scenes access to companies on their IPO day.
TBOY will retain full editorial independence across all content produced under the partnership.
The two franchises pair TBOY’s creator-led voice with direct access to the companies shaping public and private markets, reaching investors in the formats and on the platforms where they increasingly get their news.
For Nasdaq-listed companies, the partnership creates a new opportunity to reach a fast-growing, creator-led audience, complementing the visibility Nasdaq’s platform already provides its clients.
“The media and market landscape is evolving, and the way investors discover and engage with companies is changing with it,” said Joe Brantuk, Chief Client Officer at Nasdaq. “Nasdaq’s role is to help companies reach investors with the information and intelligence they need. This partnership extends that commitment, creating a powerful new way for companies to reach investors where they are increasingly listening.”
“When we launched this show in 2018, the whole idea was that business news could be the most entertaining part of your day,” said Nick Martell and Jack Crivici-Kramer, Co-Founders of The Best One Yet. “It should feel like talking to your most fun friend who happens to be a Wall Street insider. Now, that friend has a studio in Times Square and access to some of the most influential CEOs on the planet.”
“The access Nasdaq is giving us — a studio in Times Square and a front-row seat to the biggest IPOs in the world — is incredible for a creator-led media company," said Rebecca Steinberg, Creators Agent at UTA and Nick & Jack’s representative. "That tells you everything about where this industry is heading — and we plan to be at the forefront of it.”

The Best One Yet Launches Two New Franchises in Partnership With Nasdaq
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are pulling back from their record on Wednesday.
The S&P 500 fell 0.5% in early trading, a day after topping its prior all-time high set in August. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 460 points, or 0.9%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.7% lower.
Stocks felt pressure as yields climbed in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 5.35% from 5.27% late Tuesday, near its highest level since 2002, and higher yields put downward pressure on prices for stocks and other investments. They can also slow the economy by making it more expensive for everyone to borrow money.
Yields rose as oil prices ticked higher in their latest swing amid uncertainty about when the war with Iran will allow the industry to return to normal. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the international standard, added 1.5% to $102.10. That’s well above its $72 price from before the war began, though it’s not as high as the nearly $110 it was scraping last month.
Also pushing up on bond yields worldwide are worries about how much debt the U.S. and other governments have racked up, and how much more they add to it by the day.
The head of the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday that all kinds of countries must take faster action to cut debt, as well as to counter growing inequality.
“Some very tough political choices stare us in the face,” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in a speech in Singapore ahead of autumn IMF-World Bank meetings to be held in Bangkok next week.
“My message to the world’s economic policymakers next week will be this: we cannot keep delaying necessary policy action — you have the tools, now have the wisdom to use them,” she said.
On Wall Street, Worthington Steel fell 7.4% after the metals processing and manufacturing company reported weaker results for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
The pressure is on companies to continue to deliver big growth in profits. Such strength would help to support stock prices when the other big lever that affects stock prices, interest rates, is pushing downward.
Analysts have high expectations for this upcoming earnings reporting season. They’re forecasting growth in earnings per share of nearly 30%, according to FactSet. If companies fall short of that bar, stock prices could easily fall further from their record heights.
Constellation Brands added 1.4% after the seller of Modelo beer and Robert Mondavi wine reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. But its gain was restrained after it also gave a forecasted range for profit over its full fiscal year whose midpoint was below what analysts expected.
In stock markets abroad, indexes fell across much of Europe and Asia.
The CAC 40 index in Paris dropped 1.1% as yields on French bonds got back to jumping amid worries about the government’s debt and strained budget. Protests across France have raised pressure on the government to increase spending.
South Korea’s Kospi fell even more, 2%, following a sharp loss for SK Hynix, one of its two dominant stocks.
