1. Nine Entertainment shares slump after update

The Nine Entertainment Co. Holdings Ltd (ASX: NEC) share price led the ASX 200 losers on Tuesday. Nine shares slipped 5.69% lower to $1.74 per share after a market update from the media group.

Nine predicted pro-forma earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) growth to be in the mid-single digit range, down from 10% growth previously.

Lower free-to-air TV advertising revenue was the catalyst for the lower earnings with a particularly weak September quarter.

The potential for a weaker property market could also hurt the company's 1H FY 2020 revenue from its Domain.com.au business.

2. Commonwealth Bank update sees share price rise

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) share price closed 0.97% higher at $80.83 per share on the ASX on Tuesday.

CBA shares gained after a solid Q1 2020 result from Australia's largest bank in yesterday's trade. CBA reported cash profit after tax up 5% to $2.3 billion while statutory quarterly profit came in at $3.8 billion for the September quarter.

3. Qantas shares hit an all-time high… again

The Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) share price continued to charge higher during yesterday's trade.

On Monday, Qantas shares hit an all-time high following its zero net carbon emissions pledge to shareholders. It was the same story on the ASX on Tuesday as Qantas shares climbed 1.61% to hit a fresh record high of $6.95 per share in the process.

Qantas shares are now up 20.49% in 2019 and have strong momentum behind them as we head towards the end of the year.
