tv   Power Lunch  CNBC  November 26, 2013 1:00pm-2:01pm EST

1:00 pm
gain. so prap breaking through a technical level here, adding some of the momentum as we hit, you know, 1:00 in the east or thereabouts. biotechs, want to show you those, keep you up to date with the stocks on the move today. a number to the downside. cell gene and gilley ed among te best performers of the year. "power lunch" starts now. >> lace them up, half "time" is over. the second half of the trading day starts now. >> thank you very much. it is a monster and it is moving this way. up and east, ladies and gentlemen. just in time for thanksgiving. so what it means if you plan to be on a plane in a train or in a car. when should you leave? i think i'm going to go right now. if you don't mind, get a jump on this thing. what's the timing, will it be rain or snow and where? it's a big storm. weather channel standing by. byod, bring your own device. is your company about to say bye-bye to the blackberry and when they do, what's going to
1:01 pm
happen to you? the growing trend is on our radar today. companies saying you supply the device, we'll support it. entrepreneur of the year, according to "inc" magazine, a big contest and they are going to make the adjustment right here on "power lunch" in this hour. you're going to want to hear about this young person and what he's doing to change a field that we're all going to use over the next few years. first, though, to sue at the nyse. >> can't wait, ty. good to see you. the weather is turning pretty rough outside of the nyse at this hour. if the dow closes above 16,072 it will be another record close and looks like we're heading in that direction. in 12 months the dow is up 24%. right now it's up 20 points at 16,093. take a look at the nasdaq, well above the 4,000 mark and up almost 35% in a year. right now, up a half a percent or 21 -- almost 22 points at
1:02 pm
4,016.43. sheila dharmarajan is in times square and starts us with our coverage. >> hey there, nasdaq firmly above the 4 k level around 4,016 and in part due to some big gains by apple up by more than 1.5%. google and amazon hitting new all-time highs. remember, we haven't seen nasdaq 4,000 since 2000 so we thought it would be worth to take a look at how nasdaq 4k is now versus how it was back then. back then remember, companies could go profitable if you just had eyeball accounts or a dotcom in your title. right now nasdaq companies are much more mature and based on profits. so take a look at the nasdaq 100. 51% of those names actually pay a dividend to their shareholders. about half of those names have a dividend yield above 2%. back in the go-go tech days only 11% of the nasdaq 100 actually paid a dividend. now the biggest difference
1:03 pm
between the nasdaq 4k now versus nasdaq 4k then, valuation. so right now the nasdaq is trading right around 20 times average pe. back then p/e was 19 times. even if you take out the crazy outliers of 1,000 pp/e figures. it's a different story than back in the go-go tech days. a lot of metrics investors are pointing to to say we're not in a bubble when it comes to the tech heavy index. one of the people say is we're always talking about the high flying momentum names. we still do have them in the nasdaq. people love to talk about tesla and netflix these stocks that have risen up hundreds of percent but also just a many companies profitable and paying back their shareholders. one company in focus today is google, that stock hitting an all-time high. as forward p/e over 20 times not super expensive and here's
1:04 pm
what's interesting, market cap now, $350 billion. in fact, it's approaching the market cap of exxon. sue, back to you. >> sheila, thank you very much. all right. we have another auction today as we try to get rid of 90 plus billion dollars. to rick santelli now in chicago to see what the grade was. rick, yesterday was an a-minus. how did we do today some. >> b. b for boy today. above average. and the five-year affectionately known as the longest short maturity on the yield curve, $35 billion are now in the hands of investors. let's go through the metrics, yield at auction, 1.34. the one issue market was volatile, at the end flip flopping, but 1.34 went from bid to offer to bid. i would say that we nailed it exactly where it was trading. if we look at 2.61 bid to cover, close to the ten auction average, 2.67. we're a little strong on indirects of 50%, light on directs of 10.8.
1:05 pm
what's fascinating dealers took a bit less than 40%, 39.2% to be exact, of this auction, so we have 29 million seven years left and i like the word you used, the treasury getting rid of $96 billion in supply this week. back to you. >> well, i was kind of at a loss for words and that's what i came up with. thanks. thanks, rick. see you in a little bit. let's go up town to seema moody for a market flash. seema? >> social media stocks are rebounding today after what has been a volatile couple of days for these basket of stocks. some analysts have pointed to valuation concerns, facebook by the way is trading at 54 times forward looking earnings, but that doesn't seem to be worrying the street today. we're looking at facebook shares up about 3% and twitter shares up by 3.3%. tyler, over to you. >> thanks very much. to that developing weather story. the nation is watching very closely. this is video last night in nashville. ice advisories all over the
1:06 pm
music city and dallas, they are getting set for the storms. salt trucks filled up and on the move at the president george bush turnpike. milwaukee snow messing up yesterday's commute. now what? the weather channel's maria la rosa filed this report for us a few minutes ago. >> reporter: this storm has everything along with it, the severe weather as well as the wintry side. heavy rainfall in the southeast right now and concerns about some of the stronger thunderstorms perhaps tornadoes well into the afternoon and evening here. it is the freezing rain through the higher elevations and eventually it is going to be a big snow producer. timing it out, lots of moisture with the main area of low pressure. the cold air comes down here during the day on wednesday. the winds are going to be whipping in through the northeast so it's the rain and wind for the i-95 corridor. timing it out precipitation wise, you have icy conditions there in purple, mainly the mountain areas. by wednesday looking at that cold air turning a lot of this to snow. some of it will be heavy at times, and talk about heavy at
1:07 pm
times the rain along the i-95 corridor that includes the big northeast airports, boston, new york, philadelphia, d.c. expecting delays because of that. as far as the snow this is impressive. maybe as much as a foot and half of snow for portions of western pennsylvania, western new york state. out of the snow the i-95 cory tore, but it is going to be wind and rain that will snarl traffic here for the day on wednesday. back to you. >> all right. may ra reporting. gabe gu tear res of nbc news is live in atlanta. you're near hartsfield. what's happening in your as al roker likes to say, neck of the woods? >> well, there's a lot of chilly rain as maria mentioned. here's the good news, temperatures hovering around 36 degrees so none of that rain has turned to ice and we're seeing that here at the airport. no major delays to speak of. just looked at the departure board. some flights dealing with about 15 minute delays but nothing worse than that. according to flightaware.com in the southeast in memphis there
1:08 pm
were delays earlier as well as in charlotte but those steam to have worked themselves out. we're watching the storm system as it heads to the northeast. atlanta, of course, a major airport. the world's busiest airport with about 63 million passengers each year so should be interesting to watch over the next day or so, this busy travel day tomorrow, how this storm impacts travel. right now in atlanta dealing with chilly rain, but no ice and no major delays. sue, back to you. >> thank you so much, gabe. if the weather isn't a problem for air travelers, you're likely to run into some other obstacles this holiday season including packed flights. 'tis the season for capacity. so phil, why don't they just add another flight to get more people where they want to go? >> you can't do that, sue. this is not like you have an extra suv in the driveway and somebody needs a ride to the football game. you're talking about the complex formula of routes, structures, in terms of where planes are, and there are no spare planes available. the system is maxed out to capacity across the country so it's not as though there's a
1:09 pm
surge that they need in one particular area and when you look at what the airlines are doing this week, there's a perfect example the folks at moss flight put this together when you look at delta, perfect example, thursday and friday when fewer people are flying they bring down their capacity. saturday and sunday, sunday being among the buttiest of the year they bring back all of their flights. what you're dealing with it's a constricted formula here where there's just not enough planes and you can't just add a flight in a particular area. >> you know, there was some talk at some point, phil, of adding perhaps taking a foreign airliner and borrowing it planes but it doesn't sound like that would work either? >> no. it's still against the law. and on top of that you have union issues and you also have issues in terms of how many slots are available for taking off and landing and then how do you time where you're going to add that plane on a particular weekend? sure, it's easy to say we want that particular knight between los angeles and chicago, and that might work, might not work.
1:10 pm
it's too tricky in order to say we're going to bring in a foreign carrier to fly a few flights in a particular route. >> right. given the weather situation, phil, which, of course, is always changing, how much are the cancellations if they do happen on a widespread basis, going to hurt the airlines over the next couple days? >> flight aware said that they've canceled 339 flights today. i think there will be some impact, but not a huge impact. we haven't heard any estimates from wall street at this point. the airlines factor in x number of days a year where they expect to have a storm that's going to cancel a significant portion of their flights. doesn't help that these are hubs on the east coast that are getting hit by this storm, but so far, based on what we've seen i don't think it's going to be a huge impact, sue. >> well that's some good news. thanks, phil. appreciate it very much. ty, up to you. >> folks, this holiday season is going to be the shortest in at least a decade and this winter storm is adding to retailer
1:11 pm
anxiety. will the big storm hurt black friday sales? paul walsh studies business trends for the weather channel. >> snow and rain would be hor fbl it happened on black friday, but this year it looks like retailers will dodge a bullet and we're going to see the worst of this today and really tomorrow so it will be a big travel headache. by the time we get to thanksgiving of course it will be windy and might impact the macy's day parade but black friday will be clear. we've seen through polling there's been a huge increase in the northeast for demand for outer ware as we moved into the first part of november. that sort of bodes well and as long as we can keep the snow and rain away from the weekend, it will be a good sign for the rest of the holiday season. >> paul walsh. that of course is going to be a relief for many retailers that are planning to get a jump start on black friday. kmart, toys r us, american eagles, sears, jc penney, target, kohl's planning to open
1:12 pm
early on thanksgiving. who's not? costco, bj's wholesale, nordstrom, sacks, lord and taylor, they will be closed all day thanksgiving. and now back to seema moody for a market flash. >> hey, tyler. take a look at amazon shares hitting a record high. the company announcing an exclusive content licensing agreement with the independent film studio a 24 in an attempt to extend the archive of television show and films currently available on its streaming video site. amazon prime instant video. see shares up about 1.2 pr on the day. >> thank you very much. one of the top luxury names out with earnings, tiffany's sparkling in the third quarter due to rising sales in china. earnings at 73 cents a share, well above the 58 cents that wall street expected. revenue comfortably topping estimates, rising almost 7% from a year ago. that is organic growth. high-end jeweler raising its full year forecast. the stock up, look at that,
1:13 pm
nearly 9% at $88.25. up more than 50% so far this year. almost 54 pr. men's warehouse making its own takeover offer for joseph a. bank. men's wearhouse offering $55 a share valuing them at $1.5 billion, an 8.7% premium over its closing stock price on monday. more than 30% above its price in october when it joseph a. bank made a takeover offer for men's wearhouse. joseph a. says it will respond to the offer in due course. sounds like they're in hurry. men's wear house up 60%, joseph a. bank up 30%. >> two strong reads on housing. home prices up by the highest amount since 2006 and permits to build new homes surging to their highest level in five years. diana olick is in washington with details on bothp. hi, diana. >> hi, sue. you're right both reading are
1:14 pm
high but as always we need to look inside those numbers to find out what's really happening. take a look, first to permits. we didn't get housing starts because of the government shutdown delays but building permits did rise 6.2% in october month to month and are nearly 14% higher than a year ago. strong, yes, but largely on the back of multi family apartment construction. single family permits were up nearly 9% from a year ago but multifamily was up 24%. there is your renter nation folks. why are so many renting? because home prices are jumping ever higher. up over 13% on the s&p case-shiller home price index in september, both the top 10 and top 20 markets. prices rose at their fastest annual pace since february of 2006 a lot because distressed home sales is lower than a year ago and also it's still very low inventories of homes for sale. single family construction is no where where it needs to be to
1:15 pm
meet demand. analysts are expecting slower price growth in q4 as they move out and leave the markets to regular buyers, buyers facing tighter credit. >> thank you very much. we've covered snow, retail, nasdaq, the whole thing. we've covered it all. the dow near a record high and housing. when we come back, we will get the take from wall street. the chief investment officer at northern trust and chief invest ment strategist at ubs wealth management are set and ready to go. there you see them. their advice right after this short break. stay with us. in a world that's changing faster than ever, we believe outshining the competition tomorrow requires challenging your business inside and out today. at cognizant, we help forward-looking companies run better and run different - to give your customers every reason to keep looking for you. so if you're ready to see opportunities and see them through, we say: let's get to work.
1:16 pm
because the future belongs to those who challenge the present.
1:17 pm
1:18 pm
hormel moving higher, maker of spam, corn beef hash, chili, the whole thing. fiscal fourth-quarter profit 58 cents a share. hormel also raising its quarterly dividend at 20 cents a share from 17 cents. that stock is up some 43 pr. for the year so far. sue? >> did you have some red bull before the show? you're all fired up today. all right. the russell 2,000 hitting an all-time high while the nasdaq composite surges to a 13-year high. question is, where do we go from here and is it too late to put new money into the market. welcome back our mower players, katie nixon and mike ryan, chief
1:19 pm
investment strategist at ubs wealth management. katie, i'm going to start with you. you think there is more room for the market to run based on valuations, correct? >> we do. we like the u.s. market still based on three things. first of all as you mentioned valuation does not look stretched. in fact, we're right around historical median. fundamentals look positive. we came through a pretty good quarter of earnings and revenue growth. then thirdly we believe strongly that we'll still have this fiscal tailwind and monetary tailwind into the new year. >> mike, i think you disagree a little bit and you think that stocks have had a nice run certainly and been correct on that call all along. you think now we're fairly valued, is that correct? >> yeah. i actually don't disagree with what katie just said. i think market is going to continue to move higher. markets are only trading at fair value and when you get fair valued markets you get fair returns. we're not going to kind of get the big closing of the gap or the rerating of stocks we've had this year but it doesn't mean some of the things that katie
1:20 pm
pointed out won't happen over the course of 2014. i thinks earnings growth will be solid, not spectacular, the policy backdrop will be supportive and stocks will do well and we still have a favor position in terms of u.s. equities. >> what's the biggest threat to the market sts. >> certainly we saw earlier this summer the threat of a miscommunication or a policy mistake on the part of the federal reserve. a lot riding on monetary policy and distinguishing tapering from tightening will be important as we enter 2014. we'll probably see tapering some time around march. >> do you agree with that, mike? i think the difference between tapering and tightening is something we've talked about frequently. if we have slightly higher interest rates that's one thing, but if we get dramatically higher interest rates it's a whole different thing. >> i agree. the most likely scenario the fed begins to taper in march. we'll have a new sheriff in town, janet yellen. from everything we've seen and heard she's going to take a pragmatic cautious approach to
1:21 pm
monetary policy. that suggests tapering comes if anything later than sooner. one thing i did want to mention here, sue, maybe follows what katie said, while all the focus has been on what can go wrong there's a couple things we could see over the course of the next couple months that could be to the upside. we could see progress in washington on a couple fronts. some movement towards corporate tax reform, easing of sequestration and we could see some tepid steps towards addressing some of the entitlement issues, for example, change in the cpi index. let's not look at the risk purely to the downside. there's upside risk as well. >> you're nodding your head in agreement. >> absolutely agree, things not even priced into the market right now. i agree. >> thank you both, very much. if we don't see you before have a great thanksgiving. >> you too. >> katie nixon and mike, thank you so much. >> ty, up to you. >> folks been a long time addiction but wall street may be able to go cold turkey ons the blackberry for good. byod, bring your own device.

1:25 pm
date. tyler and sue. >> all right. the end of the love affair between corporate america and the blackberry may be upon us. kayla tausche, this -- should i weep over this? >> i don't know. depends on what camp you stand in? >> two camps forming on wall street and another major companies, the haves that have two devices one work blackberry and those that just have one device, ditched the blackberry in favor of something else. before companies wouldn't let employees switch or bring their own device for security reasons. but now they're embracing it with the help of a not so new app called good. good is an app that lives on a tablet or smartphone, securely connects any apple or android device to a company's survey, e-mail, calendar, contacts, secure documents an its security rating is two levels higher than blackberry. ceo christy wyatt formally an executive of citigroup, motorola and palm said blackberry's troubled corporate state has led a lot of companies to explore other options.
1:26 pm
>> we've seen within our own active user base we've actually grown our active users by 50% within the last three quarters. so that just speaks to the acceleration in the market. >> wyatt said revenue has jumped in the last 30 days and while a small population of workers had company issued phones before, now more employees can stay logged into the network sometimes paying for the phone and data themselves and some bankers tell me if a new version of an app comes out it's easier and cheaper than having to buy a new phone to upgrade that. 5,000 downloads a day and the company expected to go public next year. it's not the only company trying to take advantage of blackberry's device moois. krits trix, they provide similar services. companies prefer good because it's a secure platform and you don't need a key to be or anything to access it. it lives on your phone. >> overcoming the internal opposition of the i.t. departments is a big, big thing. they are on board with good? they feel comfortable with it? >> they're on board. actually in the piece that we
1:27 pm
have on the web right now, one of my sources told me that morgan stanleytives discussed this year whether they should ditch blackberry for good. no pun intended. >> yeah. >> and they said it would be too expensive for us to buy all new device for our employees so we're going to start shifting them on to their own devices slowly and surely trying to make that migration. >> you the employee are going to get stuck with the data charges. >> some of them don't mind. they would rather use it. that's how much they want to use that. >> which do you like better? >> no comment. i'm an impartial reporter. >> yeah. all right. thank you, sue, down to you. >> ty, the metals markets getting ready to close right now. let's take a look as we go into the close. flat on gold at 1241.50. silver down, copper is negative and the plat the numb market negative. gold is the only one that has been hanging to off and on a slight advance. the bond market, we had a second

welcome back to "power lunch." take a look at this, investors who closely follow the actions of carl icahn in 20 companies over a five-year period, would have gotten an annualized return of 28%. this from a study from his investment firm icahn enterprises. the return beat the 18% of the standard & poor's 500 stock index and doubled the return of warren buffett's berkshire hathaway the studied show. that's a good gain right there for icahn's portfolio. back to you. >> sure is. thanks so much. on-line gambling comes to the garden state. today new jersey regulators giving the green light to six casinos to offer internet gambling state wide. gamblers must be within new jersey. the state joins nevada and delaware as the only states offering internet gambling. the ceo of 888 holdings will be on "closing bell" to talk about his major decision and his

1:50 pm
of chex and balances or visibility in how the nsa operates. we're more fortunate because we play outside of the space the nsa is generally looking at from a google and a facebook and a kind of consumer internet standpoint. we serve enterprises which tends to be a different area nan what the nsa workses on. our job is to make sure we have the most secure systems for our customers at any scale. >> i thought you were going to say we work outside the box but that was going to be too corny. >> i don't do box pun. you've been raising a lot of capital. when do you anticipate you will go public? is that in your future? >> well, you know, unfortunately not something we talk about too much so we can't share too much on that. the kind of business that we're building is certainly one that we want to be independent over the long run and that leads you, you know, to that kind of outcome at some point. there's no time frame we're operating on. >> congratulation on this accolade. >> thank you. >> the entrepreneur of the year, there he is, looking sharp there
