Tyler isn’t afraid to wear clothes that make him happy. When WWD asked him to describe his style, he got a funny answer. “Over the top, old school, a mix of now and then, with rock and chic,” says Tyler. “Funky but chic, with a side order from sexy.”

When Tyler was in high school, his fashion choices didn’t always go down well with his classmates. He says WWD the kids in his high school made fun of him sometimes.

“I am in love [fashion]”Says Tyler. “Somewhere in 1967 when I was in high school, I remember making fun of it for wearing cowboy boots.”

Tyler says the way he styled his cowboy boots made the kids annoy him. “I sewed buttons on each side of the cowboy boot that I attached to my pants so they wouldn’t slide up,” explains Tyler in his WWD interview. “The hairstyles and clothing style that I loved were Mod English, Carnaby Street, Anita Pallenberg. I loved it so much and was mocked by kids in my school and kids in my band. “

When it comes to his personal style, Tyler takes on his look entirely. He doesn’t apologize for his brave decisions and doesn’t seem to care what others think. GQ once described him as a “style terrorist”.

How did Tyler develop his style? In his book, do you mind the noise in my head? He says his mother once told him about a man named Gypsy Boots she saw on the Steve Allen Show. He describes him as “the original hippie”.

According to Tyler, Gypsy Boots had waist-length hair, lived up a tree, and talked about the benefits of a healthy life. He marveled at how Gypsy Boots lived in trees and caves and fed on food from their surroundings. “This lifestyle totally seduced me,” says Tyler. He was so fond of gypsy boots that he wanted to dress like him.

Tyler was also influenced by Eden Ahbez, whom he describes as a “Bohemian composer”, who wrote the song “Nature Boy”. Tyler’s mother first heard the song on a Nat King Cole album. He says Ahbez has a lot of similarities to Gypsy Boots. According to Tyler, Ahbez camped outside, studied mysticism, and ate a vegetarian diet. He says his mother sang “Nature Boy” to him before bed. Tyler says this made him feel like his mother’s “nature boy”.

DAN-NYSE

Outperform Price $ 27.71 on April 28th

by Oppenheimer

Dana shares were flat for the day after Wednesday [the manufacturer of vehicle components, particularly drivelines] reported first quarter results that exceeded top / bottom line consensus estimates. Dana reported adjusted earnings of 66 cents per share for the first quarter, which was above the consensus estimate of 47 cents. Dana also raised her guidance for FY2021, with earnings per share up 5% on Street’s guidance.

Amid a cyclical upswing in Dana’s end markets, the revised guidance remains conservative about the assumptions about the back half, including the impact of chip scarcity on light vehicle production. While the cost of raw materials (steel, aluminum) and the supply chain increase incremental margin pressure, sequential improvement should mitigate these factors. Investments in the manufacture of electric vehicles appear optimistic for future activities. We are increasing our estimates for the 2021-22 financial year and increasing our price target [from $27] to $ 30.

[Shopping and digital-media company] Pinterest’s first quarter earnings and forward comments contained two stories: a solid first quarter report and a second quarter revenue forecast against a backdrop of strong digital advertising versus potential short-term counter-gains in user growth and engagement as the Covid-19 restrictions ease.

Despite this potential short-term volatility, management continues to focus on positioning the business for long-term value creation. Overall, we see Pinterest in the early stages of implementing a myriad of opportunities across a few key industry topics, including moving ad spend from offline to online and blurring the lines between digital ads and e-commerce. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and our price target of USD 100.

Neutral Price $ 50.29 on April 28th

by Mizuho Securities

We are initiating a report on Avangrid with a neutral rating and a price target of USD 52. The Company [which runs electric and natural-gas networks in New York and New England and has renewable-energy facilities in 22 states] has struggled in recent years to meet previously established guidelines in both regulated and unregulated businesses, but recently introduced a new CEO and revised EPS targets.

We believe Avangrid’s robust renewable energy segment (15% of EPS) is adequately reflected in its value for money. We believe the stock is fairly valued as the company needs to establish a pattern for results to be in line with expectations. [The company’s first-quarter earnings call is scheduled for May 4.]

from BTIG

Coinbase Global [which specializes in cryptocurrency trading] has agreed to acquire skew, a provider of real-time data visualization and analysis. The terms of the acquisition, which is expected to close in the second quarter, were not disclosed. The addition of Skew will round out Coinbase’s institutional prime brokerage platform, which includes offerings such as custody, OTC trading and participation. We believe Coinbase Prime, which launched in January, has been overlooked by many investors, but has significant advantages as crypto becomes more institutionalized.

We estimate that Coinbase’s subscription and service revenue will grow by around 30% annually from 2021 to 2025. The company had institutional assets of $ 122 billion as of March 31, which is more than half of the total assets of $ 223 billion on its platform as of that date. Coinbase has approximately 7,000 institutional clients, and with Skew they can track the crypto spot and derivatives market in real time. Our price target is $ 500.

by Alembic Advisors

LyondellBasell announced its first quarter results this morning: Ebitda of $ 1.59 billion significantly exceeded consensus estimate of $ 1.47 billion; Reported earnings of $ 3.18 per share beat the consensus estimate of $ 2.59. Lyondell [a plastics, chemicals, and refining company] plans to be near full capacity worldwide to meet robust demand, which management is expected to continue due to low inventory levels and maintenance outages in its industry. Lyondell said the strong integrated polyethylene margins in North America are likely to continue as US manufacturers seek to fill domestic backlogs, rebuild inventories and meet export demand.

In order to achieve a 12-month price target for the share, we offer three valuation scenarios. Our trough case assumes a depressive Ebitda [as in 2009, after the 2008-09 recession] of $ 2.5 billion. It generates a stock valuation of $ 31 per share. Our base case is based on our Ebitda estimate for 2021 [$5.76 billion]that generated a goal of $ 120. In our bull case, a peak cycle Ebitda estimate of $ 11.72 billion is used. It generates a valuation of $ 286 per share, highlighting Lyondell’s upside.

Steven Yeun solid in Jordan Peele’s subsequent film | Leisure

Steven Yeun will star in Jordan Peele’s next film.

The former “Walking Dead” actor will join the project, which is expected to be released in July 2022 along with Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer.

The movie’s premise is kept under wraps, but Palmer is supposed to be ready to play a villain in the movie.

Jordan is the director and producer of the film with Ian Cooper of Monkeypaw Productions. The project falls under the company’s contract with Universal. The new film marks the third time Peele has teamed up with the studio after collaborating on his critically acclaimed horror films “Get Out” and “Us”.

Peele also wrote the script for the upcoming project.

‘Get Out’ was a critical and commercial hit, earning Jordan an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, though the filmmaker revealed he had doubts about casting Daniel in the film.

Peele wasn’t sure if it was right to have a British actor star in the film, which tells the story of an African American man who visits his Caucasian girlfriend’s parents on a weekend getaway.

The 42-year-old director said: “I didn’t want to go with a British actor because this film was so much about portraying the African American experience. Early on, Daniel and I had a Skype session where we talked about it and I was made to understand how universal this problem is. “

However, after some deliberation, Jordan decided that Daniel would be perfect for the role of Chris Washington.

He said, “After studying the universality of these issues, it was easy for me to choose Daniel because at the end of the day he was the best person for the role.

“He did the audition and it was a slam dunk.”
