Analysts at brokerage UBS cut their fiscal 2018 projection for Apple's iPhone sales growth to 10% from 12%, following a survey of smartphone buyers that found iPhone X purchase intentions were weaker than expected. Online publisher Bustle Digital Group, which is aimed primarily at millennial women, aims to grow its revenue by 50% this year to about $45 million. Marathon Patent Group, a patent-licensing firm with an investment in bitcoin technology, surged alongside the price of the digital currency.
