STOCKS IN THE NEWS Source: Thomson Reuters Boeing Co. (BA):
Waving signs like "coercion is not consent," and "stop the mandate," some 200 employees and others staged a protest on Friday over the planemaker's COVID-19 vaccine requirement for U.S. workers
"It's my choice and it's my body," one avionics engineer said, his voice nearly drowned out by anti-Biden chants and trucks honking to show support along the busy street outside Boeing's factory in Everett, north of Seattle
"Boeing is committed to maintaining a safe working environment for our employees," a spokesperson said
Facebook Inc. (FB):
The company plans to create 10,000 jobs in the European Union over the next five years, the social media giant said, to help build the so-called metaverse - an online world where people can use different devices to move and communicate in a virtual environment
"No one company will own and operate the metaverse," Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president of global affairs, wrote in a blog post
"Bringing this to life will take collaboration and cooperation across companies, developers, creators and policymakers."
While Facebook did not say what roles it would hire for and where they would be based, the company has been facing antitrust probes in the region, and is often criticized over online safety and hate speech on its platform
Square Inc. (SQ):
The company's Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey said on Friday the fintech firm is looking to build a bitcoin mining system based on custom silicon and open source for individuals as well as businesses
This would add to Square's existing bitcoin-focused projects including a business to build an open developer platform, as well as a hardware wallet for the cryptocurrency
"If we do this, we'd follow our hardware wallet model: build in the open in collaboration with the community," Dorsey said in a tweet
A team led by Square's hardware lead, Jesse Dorogusker, will investigate requisites for Square to take on the project to build a bitcoin mining system
