ABOUT PORSCHE

Porsche is one of the world's most successful luxury automotive manufacturers*. Since the introduction in 1948 of the first official Porsche sports car, the Porsche Type 356, the Porsche brand's milestones have included the presentation of perhaps the most iconic sports car of all time, the Porsche 911 (then referred to as the Porsche 901), in 1963, a record 19 overall Le Mans victories, the launches of the Boxster in 1996 and the Cayenne in 2002, and the debut of Porsche's first series production battery-electric vehicle model, the Taycan, in 2019, among many others. Today, Porsche honors this legacy with an ambitious technological drive to reduce the impact of its vehicles and its operations on the environment while remaining committed to the famous words of Ferry Porsche: "The last car that will ever be built will be a sports car."

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
