Theme Parks
Epic Universe Opens as Comcast Expands Parks Strategy
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is officially opening its new Universal Epic Universe theme park in Orlando this week. This marks the first major Florida theme park launch in over 25 years.
The park opens May 22, just ahead of Memorial Day weekend, and features five themed worlds based on popular franchises like Harry Potter, Super Mario, and How to Train Your Dragon.
Epic Universe becomes Comcast’s fourth Florida park under the Universal Orlando Resort umbrella. Ticket prices start at $139, and early projections expect the launch to boost regional tourism significantly.
This move shows that Comcast is betting big on high-margin entertainment experiences, especially as its media and broadband units face pressure. For investors, the park adds scale to Comcast’s Parks segment, which has been one of the company’s most reliable growth drivers post-pandemic. It also intensifies competition with Disney in a key tourism market.
The new park offers immersive experiences built around intellectual property already proven to attract global audiences. That gives Comcast a strategic edge in cross-platform monetization—from streaming to merchandise to in-person visits.
With the gates now open, investor focus turns to how quickly Epic Universe can drive attendance and how it contributes to Comcast’s broader Parks revenue in upcoming quarters.

Medtronic Plans Public Spin-Off of $2.8B Diabetes Business
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) will separate its diabetes business into a new stand-alone public company, sharpening its focus on higher-margin segments such as cardiovascular, neuroscience, and surgical devices. The transition is expected to be completed within 18 months.
The diabetes division generated $2.8 billion in revenue during the last fiscal year, up 10.7% from the year before. Medtronic reported more than $34 billion in total sales. The decision follows years of effort to stabilize the diabetes segment after regulatory challenges and delayed product approvals.
We think this move signals a clear pivot toward profitability and a tighter strategic focus. For investors, it means Medtronic is doubling down on its core strengths and shedding a slower-growth unit that required more resources to scale.
By separating the diabetes business, the company can concentrate its investment on high-demand areas like cardiac and surgical innovation.
Medtronic will continue to support the transition while the new diabetes company operates independently. Its other segments will retain more complex devices sold directly to physicians and hospitals, rather than the consumer-facing diabetes portfolio.
With the separation in motion, investor focus now turns to how Medtronic uses the added flexibility to accelerate growth across its remaining divisions.

Aerospace
Boeing Completes 737 MAX Reset, Hits Target Production Rate
Boeing (NYSE: BA) has reached its current production goal of 38 737 MAX jets per month, following years of manufacturing delays, safety concerns, and regulatory oversight. The output level matches the temporary cap that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) set after a mid-air panel incident in early 2024.
Production fluctuated much last year as Boeing worked through quality control issues, workforce turnover, and a public trust crisis. The 737 MAX remains Boeing’s most important product, and stabilizing its output is key to restoring cash flow and credibility.
Hitting the FAA’s cap consistently is a step forward, but not a full recovery. For investors, this signals that Boeing is slowly regaining operational control.
It also shows that internal safety systems are working well enough to meet regulator expectations, a major concern after years of scrutiny.
The company also uses machine learning tools to detect issues in its supply chain and improve quality outcomes. With production stabilizing, Boeing plans to revisit its paused expansion plans, including adding a fourth 737 MAX production line.
Investor attention now shifts to whether Boeing can maintain this pace—and eventually convince regulators to lift the cap entirely.
