tv Mad Money CNBC May 15, 2015 6:00pm-7:01pm EDT
6:00 pm
call. >> money center banks i love j.p. morgan is the one to play. it is a breaking up. play it to the up side and get long financials here. i think the ten year plays well for them. >> our time has expired. i'm melissa lee, for more check out "options action" web. my mission is simple to make you money. i'm here to level the playing feel for all investors. there's always a bull working somewhere and i promise to help you find it. man "mad money" starts now. hey i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money." welcome to cray america. other people try to make friends i'm trying to make you money. my jot no only to entertain you but to he had katy and teach you. call or tweet me. this market has to be experienced the single most debilitating rally i've ever seen. we keep going higher, but higher with different stocks
6:01 pm
fluctuating, rotating flopping chopping and most of all confusing leadership, it makes it unfathomable where the dow sneaks up 20 points. nasdaq declined .05 percent. what's hard to understand? mainly mainly, today we seem to give up on the exact stocks we loved yesterday and vice versa. the inconsistency i find it maddening but it has to do with fund flows scroll around as portfolio managers try to grab stocks and flee from others in an ever changing. right now we've come to realize there is weakness in this country and it's not abating. industrial products capacity utilize nation and consumer confidence numbers today that were disappointing. but the companies to sell overseas they aren't hamstrung. that's why they shares vaeld so hard yesterday while companies that do business domestically saw their stocks get pummelled
6:02 pm
today we got a predictable backlash. costco and coal's just plain overdone. will today's retail strikes back rally continues? to find out we have got to look at the game plan for next we are. first up we hear from you are ban outfitters. firing on all cylinders. free people anthropology and its plastic bagship store you are ban. this company has been plagued by misjudgments. but no more. anthropology has turned and turned hoard with excellent furniture and housewares with reasonable prices. i don't know if you have been to one lately i found the assertment is extraordinary the stores are mesmerizing. what may be most exciting from the stock point of view is the turn at the urban outfitters chain. this is an exciting time for this philadelphia based company something i only mention because i'm throwing out the first pitch
6:03 pm
at tomorrow night's phillies game. i think it's also a buy here down 7 bucks from its high. tuesday we get property the fantastic home depot. the good tjx and the just okay walmart. the thing you need to know these stocks are priced exactly the way they were ordered. home depot hasn't come down at all. it has to deliver a perfect order. judging from my observations i'm not worried. i think it will be good. tjx has substantially european business which nobody talks about at all and the company has lowered expectations. upside given the turnover. wall marlt, priced for disappointment. the risk reward seems good. i like that. even though this is one of my least favorites in the category. which brings me to one of my most favorites, the one that reports wednesday. target. we've got to research no doubt from a small firm yesterday that said target's business turned
6:04 pm
soft. plus when cole's returned disappointing numbers yesterday they somehow indicated target would trade together. i don't think so. target stock which has fallen from $83 to $78 reflect that weakness. i think if target stays down here after yesterday's obliteration you put it on half your position on monday and half after reports unless it goes up big. then i don't want you to chase. i have faith that the ceo is turning the retailer around. it takes a long time to turn around a department store chain even one as good as target. and we know from the disaster that was jcpenney that i can't say this is the quarter. however i can say i do like everything that's happening at target. two other major retailers are also on the grid on wednesday. williams so no, ma'ama and lowe's. when williams sonoma reported
6:05 pm
last time it pointed out how the west coast port strike really hurt them. it said it could hurt them again this quarter. that makes me nerve u.s. but they are good operators. i won't bet against them. let's watch. lowe's i think it has become a parity trade with home defaux poe. both so good. the days when i can favor one over the other they are pasted. sold lowe's in the c change out domestic stocks and into the internationals. mighty at the timing. after the bell sales force.com reports dshsz now we've heard an awful lot about sales force dot com being pursued by another confirm. we don't know which one. i back the stock and its ceo from when they were generating only $1 billion in sales. now it's five times of that. i've taken a lot of heat. you know why? people said why are you behind it. the stock is expensive. i've been light. the stock is up 1,000% since i
6:06 pm
started recommending it. cognitive thinking. artificial intelligence i have always felt if you can organize those for your customers to make them more effective and more profitable you can take over the world. what amazing me is that while they were so many doubters about sales force.com valuation coming after me into into the murm mill they are believing oracle or microsoft wanted to buy them. maybe it's not so richly valued at all. i like sales force.com for its vision not a takeover. thursday we get the quintessential domestic retailer for the frugal. the south philly one, you can eat off the floor, dollar tree. this is another company where the stock has been whipped by the rotation. i predict a strong quarter. after the billion we hear from hewlett packard. i think it's safe to say whatever they say will be overshadowed by the fact that the company is splitting you. he can brag up into the prosayic
6:07 pm
computer and printer businesses and the high end solutions businesses. there is something for both. even though i expect a dismal quarter it may not matter. still the solutions business competes against cyst co. and i don't want to compete with cyst co. arisa network, a net does that. and we saw tepid guidance from that last name. hence that stock dropped 5% today. i found myself wondering if cyst coisn't beginning to blunt their sales with its new products. and i think they have better momentum than hume. an issue for me. finally, foot locker dear and campbell soup. foot locker nike. dear we had a downgrade this morning. major research firm taking the stock from hold to sell talking about how farmers are in dire straights. let your stock come in. i found the logic of the
6:08 pm
downgrade compelling. campbell's saup is mm mm salty in cans and stuff like that. they have got to do it fast. i can't believe it hasn't acquired white wave or crane's selection given how it's farms business is doing i happen to like their salad dressing otherwise cam belle's it doesn't have the horses. here's the bottom line we need to see if the rotation has already taken down domestic stocks to the point where they are too cheap with next week's jam packed schedule of retail earnings i'd say we are going to find out real soon. how about we go and talk to camille in colorado. camille? >> caller: hi jim, thanks for taking my call. >> you're welcome. >> caller: i've been a long term investor in glaxo smith klein. i've been concerned recently about the performance fltd stock and the announce men last week of the reduction in the dividends, about 17%.
6:09 pm
and interested in whether you are bullish or bearish. >> i've given up on them. so many stocks j and j that's doing nothing. terrific, stock at $102 i think that can go higher. i can't get mine glaxo smith kleinhesselink. merck is $60. i think that's much cheaper thaj than glaxo because it has a better pipeline. say stay away. the rotation may still be playing out. domestic stocks have they been taken down enough? the answers you want on "mad money" tonight. over 40 million people are playing. now draft kings is making fantasy betting a reality. i will and costco netflix and amazon, three big names up for a bargain. but is there value in their shares or should you stay away. plus a private supplier that could be the biggest threat to paypal. meet the ceo of karna. and i say stake with cramer!

6:13 pm
the world loves a bargain. and i like companies that offer bargains because it often turns out their stocks are bargains, too. >> buy, buy, buy. >> which is why i wasn't surprised to see netflix rocket higher with reports it was about to move into china a jackpot company. wasu media, sliced through $600 like a hot knife through butter. netflix is a subscriber story. the more subscribers the higher the stock goes. china has 40 million households. a lot of households. any entry into that country
6:14 pm
would be huge especially give that the most popular show in china according to the company is house of cards. the netflix production. which brings me to the bargain rt pa. netflix cost pennies per day. i am riffeted by house of cards and i also love orange the new black. most of my friends kids use netflix as a more important form of entertainment than the television and watched the programs in their hand hold or even their tablet. i think china will go nuts for netflix just like the rest of the word. netflix is one of our most important exports. the success of its programming is a test men to the people who run the place. $37 billion is too haul and given the size of the word wide opportunity. when the company was smaller i had hoped and opined on this show many times that apple should buy them. it didn't happen. it's not too late for some deep
6:15 pm
pocketed player to step in before it doubles again, which could happen if the china reports are true. i don't like to buy a stock when it's roaring but netflix is worth more than it stands for. sure on an earnings analysis it is expensive. when you hear that usually people are blowing smoke but that's been suckering short sellers for years. prelice cicely because the intelligent can't get their heads around the sky high price to earnings value of netflix. some stocks need to be based not simply on the pe multiplible but on the tam versus the cost of the product. on that i could argue that netflix still represents a barring oon as opposed to where it could ends up going. who else gives you a bargain? two others. am zan skprim costco. amazon prime at a cost of $99 is ridiculously cheap service that i use several times a week call me addicted.
6:16 pm
i'm surprised when i hear people aren't members. i could see amazon going higher. costco i go there for all my staples. they could double the price of my membership and i wouldn't blanch. given the money i save and the free samples i scarf when i go there for the only free lunch left besides diversification. when they raised prices a few years ago it didn't skip aeck beat. bottom line these are still bargains, although as with any bargain of course i'd like them more at lower price. how about we go to james in georgia. >> caller: hello skbrimy. congratulations as a newlywed. >> i'm loving it. i have got to tell you. it's so far been real fab. >> caller: good. keep it up. three years ago i saw sirius as a major player in their industry and purchased the stock. the stock hasn't hit $5 in three
6:17 pm
years. are there any upcoming tail winds that will push sirius to $5 and give me a reason to hold it? >> i'm not going to give you anything that's concrete right now. i can't because i don't have anything. i will tell you that the company is worth more than it's selling for. i don't have a way to get to it $5 but i do think it is a service that has tremendous pull and that more people and more people and more people will take it used and new cars. >> let's go to prapeek in california. >> caller: big booyah, jim. >> i hope you get rain out there. >> caller: love your show, thanks for all your advices. >> thank you. >> caller: i would like to know your thoughts as a long term investment in alley baba. >> i believe in alley baba so much i want you to own yahoo. i reiterate my long standing buy, that yahoo is the way to
6:18 pm
play baba. okay. everyone loves a bargain. you can find them at amazon costco and netflix. new players, are entering the it ga. is it too late or are they getting started. and the 50 list. move over paypal meet klarna. ist that's next. first, draft kings is changing the game right now by turning fantasy sports into betting reality. i'm going to talk to them next. stick with cramer.
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
ways to legally gamble on the enter net of it offers daily fantasy contests across a host of sports basketball, baseball football, hockey soccer mixed martial arts, golf and now nascar, you pay an entry fee ranging from less than $1 to $1,000. and you get cash prices when you win. draft wings offers new rapid fire contests every day. evan better after acquiring the third and fourth largest competitors in the space draft convincing is operating alongside dan fan duel. reportly they got a $250 million investment from disney which is the owner of espn. that deal is not closed yet. let's meet the cofounders of draft kings. welcome. >> we have a present that we brought for you. >> draft king swag. here you go. >> oh, man, that is just fabulous. you guys know -- i talk about it with my duddy, we are just trying not to be addicted.
6:23 pm
that's my whole goal is no to be addicted even to sports that i'm not that interested in. i'm going to ask you a question. a lot of us ask this, how did you think of it and how come we didn't. >> it was actually matt's idea, i'll let him talk about night i'm not kidding. you thought of it and we didn't. how did you know. >> i think we all just really loved sports for purchase our entire life. i grew up in boston a huge sports fan. you know, watching larry bird and you know bledso and tom brady and these gays and got into fantasy sports during college in a really big way. when i met jason at capital one back in 2005 we shared a lot of the same interests and played a bunch of leagues together and we always had that entrepeneurial bug. we were looking for, you know what could we do that would be something that could change the game in sports in and this is what we came up with. >> let me ask you, just how many people play who initially
6:24 pm
weren't that interested even in the sport? because i imagine that al the networks, all of the -- all the companies that own teams have to be enamored of what you are doing. >> well, you know, for us that's the best part of it is that there is this virtuous combination with them that drives content which then in turns drives more consumption 6 our game and back and forth and it lifts everything. we've seen from surveys we have done that about 50% of our customers report they all come in on a sport they like they have since adopted and gotten into a sport -- not just playing it but watching on tv following a sport they were not previously following before. >> i want to ask you, the fourth quarter or last three inning of a televised game or a last quarter of dbl, they really didn't mean a lot of anything for a lot of people until draft kings. >> yeah it certainly keeps you engaged with the game until the very enevery night. i think that's something that we go for in the game design you know how can we kaip keep
6:25 pm
players engaged throughout the entire night, give them excitement every time somebody scores, every big play. that's something we are looking to create in terms of the experience. >> i know this deal hasn't closed with espn but it is a virtual circle for them too because they have games that otherwise you might not be interested or a run down after the game that you would be riveted to now. >> yeah so espn has been a marketing partner of ours for a while. and like you said they have a lot of sports content. they have always been very interested in fantasy. i can't comment specifically on a deal. but right now i think espn is the leader really in fantasy. they have become the company most -- more than any that's identified with fantasy and identified with sports. >> matt do you think that when i see the -- some of these -- some of the games, or nascar do you think, geez it's lucky there is a carve out? some of it is a way to gamble and legally. >> i think that you know we
6:26 pm
operate ten sports right now. they all have huge fan followings. and whenever there is something big in sports we want to fine a way to participate, obviously staying within the boundaries that we feel like we need to. >> right. now for baseball i'm throwing out the baseball tomorrow for the phillies. i just had to say it. i had to work it in -- that's all i have to say about that. >> try and throw a strike. >> are there players or games where he would not normally be interested in. i never like to watch a non-philly game to be honest. but this is one of those things where you want to watch out of market games. >> every game every play matters. you were talking about before the end of the game. sometime it is a blowout or something like that. this makes every single play of every game matter. and it keeps you engaged everywhere across the entire league. by the way on draft kings you can kin throwing out the first pitch at a major league baseball game. >> really. >> you dope need it.
6:27 pm
you already have that privilege, but for everybody else. >> plb has a stake in your guys espn reported. i would love to have -- a lot of our viewers are going to ask when is draft kings going to go public? i want a piece of that stock. >> right now we are looking at a lot of options. that's the last thing on our mine. we are trying to build a great business and engage sports fans. however it ends i think will be hopefully -- that's not really the ending but however ultimately the early investors exit will be the easy part. >> let me tell you something, you are having too good a time to go public. money is not everything. those are the cofounders of draft king. they came up with this and not you. that's the way you have to look at it. "mad money" is back after the break.
6:31 pm
i've speak up so much time in the past few weeks bringing you interviews with some of the best publicly traded and private companies out there that we haven't had time to focus on the high-profile ipos that have come public over the past six weeks that i know you love. ♪ specifically i'm talking about four of the biggest deals of april and may. doe jiangels nc party city and go daddy. tonight i want to take a closer look at each of them. because i consider it part of my job to familiarize you with these newly public companies show that you know your ipo and can figure out whether they are winners or duds. let's start with bo jangles, boja for you home gamers. it is a quick serve restaurant chain known for their made from scratch biscuits and chide chicken. 625 restaurants primarily in the south. last friday opened at $19.
6:32 pm
closed at $23.75 since then, it's climbed to $26 and change as of today. it has a cult like following among its many customers and low price points that partially protect it from the now raising cost of gasoline. the company is forecasting a 7.6 to 7.9 increase. excel righting accelerating from the last quarter. it plans to open 50 new locations. grow the store count at 7 to 8% annual clip. they are really getting this thing going. a concept that's working. part of a powerful regional to national growth story. what's not to like? two things. first the stock has gotten expensive overnight. going up nonstop since the ipo. now it's pricey. second the hallmark is being walled by the sea change where investors are dumping domestic
6:33 pm
stocks for international names. and the dollar which continuesing to lower keeps going lower. bo jangles falls into the domestic kit. i like bo jangles but not at these levels. i wouldn't be a buyer but i would be willing to pass if it comes down to the low 20s. still, i'd rather you be in the much cheaper popi's louisiana kitchen. next up we have etsy the online place where people connect to buy and sell goods, especially goods that are hand made. i call it an online flea market. here's the thing about the brooklyn based etsy. this company has come out with a soaring rhetoric about how it's creating a new economy. but they have said other things that concern me about their long term tre jektytory. when you look at a prospectus the company has to include risk
6:34 pm
factsors. usually they are basically boilerplate. but sometimes something truly worrisome will jump out at you. let me quote you a couple of lines from their risk factors. first, and i quote we have a history of operating losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. we kpt that our operating expenses will increase substantially, end quote. maybe they are following the old amazon model, they don't care about profitable because they are spending money to rapidly grow the business. and then there is this other line. i quote, negatively influence our short or long term financial performance. you better be certain that you are building something amazing that could be insanely lucrative if you are saying your values may clash with making money. it is a publicly traded company. i'm actually not certain about their ethos.
6:35 pm
it has 1.4 million people who have sold something on the site over the last eight months. up 43.3% from the previous year. i find the site clunky. but here's the thing. etsy's growth whether you measure it by gross merchandise sales or total revenue diesel decelerated in 2015 though they posted 56% revenue growth their expenses overshadowed the income. more importantly i worry about etsy not caring itself about being all that profitable of the the stock came public at $16. rocketed 87% on the first day. it went to $30. since then downhill. the stock is trading just a bit over $20. plus there is a class action about whether prior to the ipoetsy reported that roughly 5% of its merchandise on the site
6:36 pm
violates trademarks. that's not for me. i would rather own boston miguel with tequilas and mezcals of all shops and size. last, part city. party city is a leading retailer of party supplies. halloween related, seasonal there. 900 locations across the u.s. and canada. it operates the only network of coast to coast part super stores. solid omnichannel presence. party city reported first quarter of public company posting unremarkable results. revenue coming in at the low end of its forecast. soft sales guidance. the stock initially got slammed. my view at a time when so many
6:37 pm
managers are rotating ott of retail i think you can do better than party city plus the private equity firms that took the company private have loaded the company down with debt. why don't we own costco or target? finally let's talk about the go daddy ipo. go daddy became public on april 1st at 20 dlk. shod up to $26.15 in the first day. since then basically trading sideways. you might know go daddy as the on line company that allows you to buy domain names but it does more. interesting business. with ten business one hold and zero sells on the stock. when the company reported its first quarter out of the gate on tuesday it managed to beat the newly created analyst consensus on the top and bottom line.
6:38 pm
stronger than anticipated guidance. that's great. where do i come down? it has very real competitors breathing down its neck. i would be willing to give this one my blessing for speculation but how about a pull back down to the low 20s. bottom line i say stay away from etsy and party city. go daddy and bo jangles they are both buying. right now both are priced for perfection in this newly red hot ipo market. and perfection that's more than i care to pay. "mad money" is back after this break.
