*Warner Bros. Discovery stock plunges as Hollywood strike impact, ad sales slump to extend into 2024*

Updated at 9:42 am EST Warner Bros. Discovery WBD posted a wider-than-expected third quarter loss Wednesday as the impact of Hollywood strikes hit both the top and bottom lines of the entertainment and studio group. Shares were hit hard in early trading, as well, that the impact of the strikes could extend into 2024, adding that it needs to see a "meaning recovery" in the television ad market. Warner Bros. said its adjusted loss for the three months ending in September was pegged at 17 cents per share, a tally that narrowed from the 95 cents per share loss over the same period last year but fell outside the Street consensus forecast of 6 cents per share. Core earnings were pegged at $2.97 billion, narrowly ahead of the LSEG estimate of $2.92 billion, while free-cash flow came in at $2.06 billion as spending on new content slowed amid the ongoing industrial action in Hollywood. Group revenues, Warner Bros. said, rose 1.6% from last year to $9.979 billion, a total that essentially matched Street forecasts. Earlier this autumn, Waner Bros. said the impact of the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild strikes, which it had forecast to end in September, would likely rise to between $300 million and $500 million by the end of the year. The studio division has also delay the release of its "Dune: Part Two" sequel, originally set for November, until at least March of next year following a warning from CEO David Zaslav that the industry is in "unchartered waters" as a result of the industrial action at the heart of the global movie industry. "I am very pleased with the strong financial results that our company delivered in Q3, underscored by 22% growth in Adjusted EBITDA and over $2 billion in free cash flow, putting us on track to meaningfully exceed $5 billion for the year and contributing to our nearly $12 billion in debt paydown to date," Zaslav said in a statement alongside the earnings release. "Among the highlights, our Direct-to-Consumer business had another profitable quarter and launched its new live-programming offerings with CNN Max and the Bleacher Report AddOn, which are showing early signs of contributing to increased engagement and lower churn on Max," he added. "We’ve made great strides in just 19 months and are excited to continue building on this strong momentum, as we focus on driving future growth and creating long-term value for our shareholders." Warner Bros. Discovery shares were marked 14% lower higher in early Wednesday trading immediately following the earnings release to change hands at $10.05 each, extending the stock's six-month slump to around 26%.Action Alerts PLUS offers expert portfolio guidance to help you make informed investing decisions.

*Passengers from long flights could soon be asked to do a nasal swab at the airport*

While many thought the days of taking swab tests and being checked for disease at the airport were finally behind us, some travelers may soon be asked to do just that when arriving at a U.S. airport from an international flight. Known as the Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) for Early Detection of New SARS-CoV-2 variants, the program launched in 2022 after pandemic-related restrictions eased as a voluntary way for travelers to check themselves for common easily-transmissible diseases and provide infection data to the health authorities.Related: A low-cost airline just lost its right to fly over budget and safety issues While it is still entirely voluntary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that it would be expanding the TGS to also swab for new variants of covid, flu, RSV and other respiratory illnesses. Optional nasal swabs will be taken at airports. TheStreet CDC wants to 'get a picture of what's going on' and what diseases are spreading Starting in November and going on for several months until the weather starts to warm, the program will target international arrivals at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport, San Francisco International Airport and LAX in Los Angeles . Those who want to participate will be able to swab their nose and hand in a sample. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane To complement the approximately 6,000 swabs that the CDC currently collects through the program each week, the government health agency will also be testing the wastewater from the planes coming in from faraway places. The goal of both actions is to gain a rough understanding of what diseases are being brought into the United States and will become more prominent during cold and flu season. "Our focus is always on airports that are international hubs and have flights coming in from a broad array of international locations so we can get a picture of what's going on globally and detect concerning strains early," Dr. Cindy Friedman, who heads CDC's Travelers' Health Branch, told Reuters. Friedman also added that, under the expanded swabbing program, the CDC will test for a total of 30 different pathogens. The idea is to catch which infections to watch out for before they become prevalent with the help of travelers who want to participate. "The TGS program, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, acted as an early warning system to detect new and rare variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and will do the same for other respiratory viruses going forward," Friedman said.Where have we seen this before? Looking at you, New Zealand A similar voluntary information-gathering program was launched by Air New Zealand ANZFF in May 2023 when the airline started asking passengers checking in for an international flight at Auckland Airport to step on a scale to provide weight data for an anonymized pool. The program was entirely optional and made to provide an overall number about the weight of the plane in order to meet safety regulations and gain estimates of what passengers bring onboard when things such as jackets and additional bags are factored in (neither the check-in agent nor even the passengers themselves got to see what the scale recorded.) Many still balked at the idea of an airline weighing them.

*Here is why it is (still) taking forever to get a passport*

Anyone who has tried to get a new travel document post-pandemic knows just how risky it is to plan a trip before having the passport in one's hands. While passport services are notorious for being bureaucratically slow in many countries, the rush of people looking to take trips after the pandemic has kept many in different pockets of the U.S. waiting for as long as four months after submitting an application.Related: The Best Ways to Accelerate the US Passport Process "Processing times are cyclical and rise and fall based on seasonal demand," the State Department said in a statement in the summer of 2023. "However, the volume of applications we have received during periods this year has outpaced records set by last year's volume by more than 30%.” State Department reports reduced wait times for passports. Shutterstock Need to renew a passport this fall? Here's how long it will take In a new note posted on Nov. 6, the State Department said that average waiting times have fallen slightly to seven to 10 weeks from the eight to 11 weeks seen at the end of the summer. Those who pay an additional $60 for expedited service on top of the $130 fee for renewals and $165 for first-time applications can expect to wait three to five weeks instead of the previous seven to nine weeks. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane Those time frames are, however, still significantly higher than the six weeks that many got theirs in before the pandemic. The State Department said that, between October 2022 and September 2023, it has seen "unprecedented demand" and processed over 24 million passports. "As more Americans are traveling internationally again, we are directing resources to meet the unprecedented demand seen so far in 2023," the government agency says in a statement on its website. While wait times have fallen slightly after the higher demand historically seen in the summer, the State Department also said that it is addressing the longer wait times by "aggressively recruiting and hiring across our passport agencies and centers."Apply 'well in advance of any planned travel to avoid last-minute issues' Those who want to guarantee that their passport is ready before a given trip are encouraged "to apply for their passport well in advance of any planned international travel to avoid last-minute issues." Other ways to accelerate the process include booking an in-person emergency appointment at a passport office that one can get in the case of pressing need such as family crisis (this also comes at an additional fee of $190) and paying an additional $20 for expedited mail delivery so that the passport comes faster once it is out of the processing center's hands. And if one wants to start planning a trip without being certain that the passport will come in time, a protective measure could be to purchase extended trip insurance that will allow you to cancel without a loss if the passport does not come in in time. "In that scenario, people should consider purchasing Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) travel insurance," Elad Schaffer, who leads the Faye Travel Insurance company, said in April. "With CFAR, travelers can nix their trip for any reason, and get 75% back on their pre-paid expenses, up to their estimated total trip cost.”

*More Americans are tapping into 401(k) funds to cover expenses*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets open for trading Wednesday, November 8.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I'm J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here's what we're watching on TheStreet today. Stocks are looking to keep up the rally after seven straight days of gains, marking Wall Street's longest winning streak in two years. These gains come amid a strong third-quarter earnings season. Over 80 percent of companies in the S&P 500 have delivered better than expected results, which is considered better than average. Separately, investors are watching for comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as they look for clues into the future of interest rate hikes. Meanwhile, as Americans continue to deal with rising costs on just about everything, more and more are turning to their 401(k)'s for emergency cash. Bank of America alone saw a 13 percent spike in the number of clients taking hardship distributions between Q2 and Q3. The I-R-S identifies a hardship distribution as "a withdrawal from a participant's elective deferral account made because of an immediate and heavy financial need, and limited to the amount necessary to satisfy that financial need." One of the key drivers in the decision to dip into nest eggs? Credit card balances rose to a record $1.08 trillion in the third quarter - a $48 billion increase from Q2 and a $154 billion jump from this time last year. And not only is the debt climbing, Americans are constantly struggling to pay it down, as the rate at which households are becoming delinquent is at its highest point since 2011. However, despite having to pull money from retirement plans, Bank of America says 401(k) contribution rates in Q3 held steady at 6.5 percent. That'll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I'm J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.
