1:00 pm

"power lunch" starts right now. >> president trump in las vegas this hour meeting with victims. first responders and heros of sunday's mass shooting. the healing has begun but the search for motive continues. could you be on the hook for more than $70 billion in puerto rican debt the president says the islands bonds may have to be wiped out and you may be surprised who actually owns it pharmaceutical companies making 20% on their money today. i'm brian sullivan and "power lunch" begins right now.
1:01 pm
welcome to "power lunch." green arrows across the board. enough to push both indices to record highs. tesla is rallying a new call on the street and it's the most bullish one out there right now. the analysts who made that call joins us later to make his case for $500 a share. meantime netflix is also rallying its price rates at 225. >> here's what else is happening at this hour. the senate commerce committee unanimously approving a bill to get self-driving cars quickly to the market. secretary of state, rex tillerson knocking down reports that he may quit, saying those reports are ir-ronus and he has never considered leaving. job growth beating estimates for september but the number down from the prior month.
1:02 pm
hurricanes irma and harvey to blame for that. >> thanks very much. i'm tyler mathisen and what a timely day to be here in boston live at the cambridge cyber summit, a joint effort of the institute of cnbc. there are tech leaders and ceos and government officials from law enforcement, the intelligence community all talking about how we can protect against threats in the digital age. this hour tom fanning the ceo of southern companies will join us here, big utility and mike greg war, brian back to you. >> puerto rican's bond prices are falling following comments about president trump about the island's massive debt load. >> we have to look at their whole debt structure. they owe a lot of money to your friends on wall street and we'll have to wipe that out. you can say good-bye to that. wron if it's goldm goldman sachs
1:03 pm
you can say good buy to that. >> the president seemed to suggest that he is opened a wiping out the puerto rican debt. is that to be taken seriously on its face >> i wouldn't take it word for word. i talked to the president yesterday as we flew home on air force one. what we're focusing on right now is what you and i just talked about which is the primary focus of the federal effort is to make sure the island is safe and that we're rebuilding the island. >> puerto rico has more than $70 billion in debt and that was before hurricane maria destroyed large chunks of the island. there are over 18 classes of debt in puerto rico. the top three being general obligation. we think of hedge funds who actually owns most of puerto rico's debt, joining us now is kate long, the founder of puerto rico clearing house. great to have you with you.
1:04 pm
>> great, michelle. >> it's melissa. >> i'm sorry. >> the president had mentioned goldman sachs and goldman sachs perhaps owns some of the debt but the vast majority of debt is owned by individuals, mutual funds? >> about 75% of the debt outstanding is held either by directly by retail investors or through mutual funds and the number may be even slighter higher than the 500,000 and the other 25% of the debt is held by hedge funds or large institutional holders. >> can you drill down on the 75% who are mutual funds, et cetera? what sorts of debt are owned by mutual funds that would be owned by say a u.s. investor and do pranz citizens own any of that debt? >> so typicallythe stronger debt has stronger [ inaudible ] it's tax exempt and the big names you get in the mutual space are franklin -- and op
1:05 pm
hiemer and basically the weaker debt which has less legal security -- because there was retail investors and families on the island of puerto rico because they had specific tax preferences that allowed them to put it away as stake holdings and such. >> what is that stuff trading at right now, kate? >> it trades anywhere from a company pennies for the weakest debt which will be wiped out as president trump to maybe up to the middle 50s for the strongest debt that has most legal security. >> so when we're showing for example, right now we're showing something that's due in 2035, yield of 8% originally when it was issued. it's getting hammered today, that's the higher quality stuff. when 75% of the hold willers are
1:06 pm
individuals, a huge percentage of those individuals are people in puerto rico holding stuff that only trades at 2 cents any ways. president trump isn't saying they're going to be wiped out because, in fact, they've already been wiped out >> that's right. that's 100% right. so bonds change in a distressed situation trade below recovery and so you can expect a little higher recovery than the levels you're trading at but there's still significant hair cuts coming for basically all the debt in the district. >> it's brian sullivan. with all due respect to the president, you can't wipe out these bonds. it's property. there is a legal process. assuming that there is some sort of a negotiation agreement made to write down further or wipe out, whatever you want to call it, these bonds, how long will it take? a year >> so congress passed a law last year called -- there were two parts of that. the first was consensual debt
1:07 pm
negotiations that should've happened and didn't and now all of this debt restructuring is being done in federal court. that process will take years because even if the federal court, you know, rules on all this debt and gets to a plan of adjustment, say within two years, they'll be multiple appeals to the first circuit and the supreme court after that. a consensual process in contrast could be basically within a year. it's very important for puerto rico because one they have no market access now because of all this litigation. they cannot bro and two, in terms of people wanting to make new investments, in businesses there, very unsettled environment and people just don't want to go in. >> they've only got 3.5 million people on this island. they borrow 70 million, what do they spend the money on? >> yeah. that's a really good question. a lot of island people would like to know that. some of it did go directly to
1:08 pm
the power utility, the water utility. operating deficits. some of it was just went out the back door either in fees or who knows how. there's never been a significant in-depth audit of this debt and that is one thing that needs to happen. >> wow. unbelievable. thanks so much. cait long. the main stock index in spain is dropping over 2% today. it's had a very tough week in general. for the week it is down almost 3.5%. the spanish banks are getting hit very hard as well. down between 4% and 6%. this is all due to fears of catalonia that they'll declare independence. could this be a major tricket for the global markets. joining us -- >> thank you for having me.
1:09 pm
>> we see spanish stocks and spanish bonds selling off but does that mean that there's a bigger problem for the rest of europe is this one of these threats that we always talk about for the european union >> no. we don't think so. in fact, this is a purely spanish issue and you can see that in the market reaction that as you said spanish bonds and spanish stocks have been hit somewhat but so far we don't see really much, if any, sign of contagion and that's marginal and there's absolutely no sense in which the catalonia independence movement has any anti-european under pinnings to it. this time we see this as a purely spanish crisis that doesn't have implications for europe or global markets. >> why is spanish debt or stocks selling off? run the numbers for me.
1:10 pm
is the idea that if this region separates, therefore the overall government losses a source of revenue? why are people -- what's the transmission mechanism for losses when it comes to these various equities >> so this is a very standard market reaction to a political shock. you're seeing in the immediate aftermath of the shock and you can think of this as an uncertainty shock that, you know, bonds would sell off and so would the stock market. i think what will really -- people will really start to focus on any fundamental market impact if the situation worsens significantly and independence becomes a meaningful prospect, we're some distance from that. that's not to say things couldn't deteriorate further. in fact, we expect that it will and there are indications that the catalonia government might declare independence
1:11 pm
unilaterally later next week. i don't think at this stage the market is really thinking, oh, independence is going to happen. >> if it did or if it looked like we're going that way, do you think it would negatively impact the united states stock market >> that's very unlikely. as i said, first, it might be an issue for europe but it's very unlikely that it would effect global markets. one can think of the u.s. as a global market and even if it did, what we would expect based on our experience with other political shocks elsewhere in the world is that the impact would be very short-lived and fadeout relatively quickly. >> okay. thank you. president trump arriving in las vegas moments ago. he will meet with victims of the mass shooting as well as first responders and heros. jane wells live in front of the mandalay bay. jane >> reporter: hi, brian. the motorcade is moving to the
1:12 pm
medical center right now. let's show you that video from a few moments ago as the president and first lady landed. they were greeted by republican governor sandoval and president was saluted by a sheriff joe lombardo. they're on their way. it's not clear if the president will take questions in a story that has so many questions left unanswered. we have this other news, stephen paddock's girlfriend arrived back in the country from the philippines. that is her in the wheelchair. the sheriff said she will be questioned by the fbi in las vegas within the hour as they try to figure out why stephen paddock did this. he reportedly sent her out of the country two weeks earlier and the sheriff feels confident a motive will be discovered. >> we're comfortable that we have the suspect into custody but something more may come of that investigation and i want to understand the motivation that you describe, okay, to prevent any future incidents. and, you know, did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to
1:13 pm
us and we will want to identify that source. >> reporter: the fbi and local authorities say it will take days to process the crime scene inside paddock's hotel room where it was clear he spent a lot of time planning this attack. >> this individual and this attack didn't leave the sort of immediately accessible thumb prints that you find on some mass casualty attacks. putting aside the somewhat dubious claims or responsibility that we will see in each one of these instances, we look for actual indicators of affiliation, of motively and intent. we don't have those sort of indicators. >> there is a beefed up law enforcement presence at every property on the strip and inside the wynn we have video where they're using metal detecting wands on guests. we are trying to find out from the coroner when we might get autopsy results from steechbl paddock when those might be made public to see if he had a physical condition or what the toxicology tests results may show, anything to try to figure
1:14 pm
out why he snapped. back to you. >> jane wells, thank you very much. appreciate it. a surprise decision from the fda making one big drug company investors very happy today. the name and the reason behind the big move coming up. right now back to tyler at the cambridge cyber summit. >> thank you very much. the ceo of southern company will join us after this on protecting our powegr fm ha. r idroa ck
1:15 pm
1:17 pm
welcome back. "power lunch" live in boston where cnbc and the aspen institute partner for the second year running. the focus here is to look at ways we can combat urgent cyber threats and secure the country. tom fanning is with me. the ceo of southern company, one of the nation's largest utilities, he's also the co-chair of the council. tom, great as always to of you with us. let's start with a little detour and that is to talk about the recovery from the recent storms, florida, texas, now puerto rico. i know you've been involved as part of your industry role. how do you think it's going? how huge is the challenge for puerto rico? >> just enormous. the escc not only does cyber and
1:18 pm
physical security threats it picks up these natural disasters from a coordinating standpoint. harvey was very interesting. it was a rather small hurricane, only 300,000 outages but turned into this enormous flood with enormous humanitarian consequences. irma, on the other hand, was an enormous hurricane. 8 million plus outages through the peninsula of florida up into georgia and beyond. so completely different storms. now, when you think about puerto rico, it again is take completely different situation. when we think about restoration activity in hurricanes, you think about putting the wires back up, the poles back up and whatever else you need to do. puerto rico is nothing about restoration. it's all about rebuild. that is infrastructure is on the ground and the challenges, the ability for our industry to provide resources, people, equipment, unparalleled but the challenge we have right now is
1:19 pm
not the availability of resources, it's the logistics of getting it there and once people get there with those resources, do they have a place to live, do they have food to eat, water to drink and do they have personal security. big deal. >> it's going to take months and years -- >> let me tell you something, the federal government has been doing a heck of a job here. i don't know that comes across all the time in the public -- >> it's been of some controversy, obviously. >> it has. listen, what i said on the floor at fema, fema's doing as good a job as they can, homeland security terrific job. guy named chris is handling that. i think they're doing as good as they can. >> let's switch to cybersecurity and i want to ask sort of a theme attic questions. the threats to the electric grid, the transformational infrastructure of our country, are we ahead of the bad guys or are the bad guys ahead of us >> i think we're ahead of them. i think the capability of the
1:20 pm
united states is fabulous. in many cases dealing with other nation states you're in the old cold war era of mutually assured destruction. please understand the context of my comment. when we talk about cyber threats to the electric infrastructure, i think about it not in the context of punks, thugs and criminals. i'm thinking about it from the standpoint of exessential chal threat, the ability for the bad guys to turn off the grid, to interfere with american commerce. mill sense is through harmonizing federal government responses through harmonizing private industry efforts and that's not just the silo of electricity, one of the things i've been working on very diligently is recruiting other ceos particularly in the financial sector and in the telecom sector to come together to have a harmonized kind of effort to understand how can we best prepare for and respond to in terms of technology, systems
1:21 pm
and information sharing machines. >> i want to squeeze in one more of my questions, then i'll turn to michelle for a question here. my sense is that when companies are hacked, threatened, broken in to, that it's at that point that they go to law enforcement or the feds. are companies doing enough, do they have the right relationships with law enforcement ahead of time? >> tyler, that is fabulous. that's the point of getting this harmonizization of private industry -- 80% of infrastructure is owned by private industry. we must play offense. we must pitch not catch in dealing with either the administration or congress or state and local governments to work proactively in this so-called public/private partnership and so far i can report that in these three areas it's working exceedingly well. >> michelle, jump on in. >> thanks so much. it's michelle caruso back in
1:22 pm
studio. we've been showing video about data points about puerto rico's energy infrastructure. it's really old. they're average plant is 44 years old compared to the united states where it's only 18 years olds on the mainland. they're still powered 47% by petroleum versus 0.6% on the mainland of the united states. they borrowed all this money yet never actually invested in a lot of the energy infrastructure. how much money do you think it takes to get their power grid back up to snuff >> yeah, boy, michelle that's a heck of a question. as i said, i think the issue is not going to be restore, it's going to be replace and one of the issues we have to think about, really not just puerto rico but really across the united states is this notion of resiliency of our major infrastructure. as a matter of national security
1:23 pm
and i think we will see this is kind of a test case. now, people have talked about this is going to take months to recovery, in many ways it will because the economy obviously is taking a dive and if you can't enact commerce on that island, boy it's going to be a recovery of some prolonged nature. but i will say this, i think that we can pull together the resources to get things done in a short matter of months, if you will. we'll get the grid back up, we'll get the generators back working and we'll start putting people bang to work but boy oh, boy that's a tall order. the bigger strategic issue that you raise is this notion of resiliency as a matter of national security. >> tom, thank you very much. appreciate you being with us. we'll see you will again soon i hope. >> tom fanning. a surprise decision from the fda, huge moves in a number of stocks plus the most bullish target yet for tesla. can it become a $500 stock. we'll talk to an analyst that
1:24 pm
says yes. "power lunch" will be right back. just like some people like banging their head on a low ceiling. drinking spoiled milk. camping in poison ivy. getting a papercut. and having their arm trapped in a vending machine. but for everyone else, there's directv. for #1 rated customer satisfaction over cable switch to directv. call 1-800-directv.
1:26 pm
mylan is on pace for having its best day in nine years. meg tirrell looking at this news and the ripple effect it's having as well. >> it's a generic version of teva's ca pax yoen which is teva's biggest problem. this came ahead of expectation. mylan has seen a few set backs. getting the approval today maybe
1:27 pm
a yearly ahead of what analysts had expected. you are seeing teva down there as mile lan is soaring on this news. this accounts for 19% of 2016 revenue. $3.5 billion in u.s. sales, $4 billion in total worldwide sales. analysts are now expecting that mylan could bring this to the market at 25 to 40% discount capturing maybe a 40% market share here as a result teva does see a hit to its q4 epc. this is an injectable drug. he wanted to speed those up and we see copaxone getting improved. this is expensive drawing, $90,000 a year for that lower dose of it. and we are seeing ripples not just from mylan and teva but buy owe gen a little bit and a lot more from mow men ta which is
1:28 pm
working on a generic competitor. mylan beating it there so mow meanta seeing negative hits. david mar ris, thank you for phoning in, i appreciate it. >> ig want to skip right to the impact on teva since it's such a dramatic drop on the share price. in your note you say that there's uncertainty around generic ca pax yoen. >> unfortunately a new ceo who hasn't yet started and you figure most new ceos coming in reset earnings guidance. they previously said it would be about 25 cents a quarter. they came out today said, yes, sure enough. if current consensus is about $4 and then you're taking out a dollar maybe for ca pax yoen for next year at a minimum, now you're at $3 and the generic pricing environments been getting worse sothey do have new approvals coming but if the
1:29 pm
generic pricing environment continues to get worgs, they've reset earnings once, are we looking at a current consensus at 4 z-larz that could end up being below $3 when this new ceo starts and that's a real possibility? >> in terms of the generic pricing we've heard this throughout reporting, is part of it going to be accelerated by scott gottlieb's push to approve more generics and faster >> gottlieb's done a great job. there's only so much the fda can do by setting price. they can't go out and tell people what to price drugs but they can speed up approvals. here's a good example. in the ms markets there are no generic competitors. this is the first one. this will really reset the pricing for other things but what he gives with one he can take away with another. so one thing to keep in mind, a complex generic like epipen there's no ab rated nonmylan
1:30 pm
generic out there. that could be one of the things he targets next. we caution that what you get with one you may get with another. >> i was going to ask you about that because people are saying there could be more upside from mylan here and teva if complex generics are sped through the fda approval process and mylan has also been delayed on generic advair. what do you think the potential is for an epipen competitor getting approved >> based on our conversations with teva the fda is active dialogue, almost daily dialogue trying to help the applicant get a product approved. i think that's going to happen. i think it is a focus of the agency. i think the move today is a little bit exaggerated. i think there are reasons for it and simple math that shows that it is but i can understand that people are excited. they've only had bad news in the generic industry recently and now you have a little bright news here with a key win for
1:31 pm
mylan. >> david, thanks a lot. the pricing that you quoted, that's on the generic competitor >> that is the list price of the brand copaxone. >> what do we think is going to happen when it comes to generic pricing. >> 40% discount and as more generics come on the market that will get weighed down further. >> got it. >> thank you, meg e. should the ceo of wells fargo be forced to stem down over the bank's fake account scandal. we'll ask the senator who grilled him. the dow hits another record high. we're back. two minutes. tfs only track a benchmark. flexshares etfs are built around the way investors think. with objectives like building capital for the future, managing portfolio risk and liquidity and generating income. that's real etf innovation.

1:34 pm
hello, everyone. i'm sue herera. here's what's happening at this hour. brett mcgirt the top u.s. envoy in the fight against isis meeting with egypt's foreign minister in cairo. discussing the progress of the countercampaign and efforts to oppose the militants' groups aspirations for expansion. a jordanian official says a motorcycle exploded in front of
1:35 pm
the jordanian embassies military office in paris. it is unclear whether anyone was hurt or whether that explosion was accidental or intentional. the european union is ordering luxembourg to recovery $295 million in back taxes from amazon. the e.u. commissioner says amazon profited from a special low tax system allowing it to escape most of the taxes it owed. >> our position concerns the tax treatment of two amazon group companies in luxembourg under a luxembourg tax ruling. it allowed to shift the vast majority of its profit from one company to the other company without valid justification. you are up to date. that's the news update this hour. brian i'll send it back to you. >> a lot of people may not know that the guy who designed amazon's tax strategy and worked
1:36 pm
there forever, he was granted an honorary consul late from luxembourg to seattle. that's how close the relationship was. >> that's amazing. busy week for president trump and congress. the president visiting las vegas today after touring the damage in puerto rico. the meantime congress grilling the former ceo of equifax about their data breach one day after the ceo wells fargo is forced to defend his reaction to the fake account scandal. joining us now senator heitkamp. i'll ask you this pointed question, do you think tim sloan should be removed as ceo of wells fargo? >> i think that's really up to their corporate governance structure. i think we expected something more after the last removal and so hopefully our questions will lead the board to ask further questions and make those decisions but what i want to see is i want to see a change in
1:37 pm
corporate culture where you don't hear i'm not familiar with that, i don't know that. in big, big problems that they have and that's not what we heard and as a result what we did hear is we're really, really big and we represent a lot of people pane just trust us and that -- that boat left the shore a long time ago. there isn't going to be any more trust us. >> what you asked him so pointedly was you sort of walked through a couple of points where you will said i don't know, i don't remember, the l.a. times didn't tell me this, you pressed him pretty good. he did a pretty good dodge and weave. tell end of the day were you satisfied with what you heard, senator. >> absolutely not. when you're looking at people repossessing cars that shouldn't be repossessed and the ceo says i don't know about that. i'd have to look into that, give me the name of your constituent and i'll call him. that's not the point. there were thousands of people who had this happen to them.
1:38 pm
when you say, you just told us that you're not going to force arbitration on people who had false accounts set up but that's exactly what they're doing at a court case in utah and he will says i did not know about that and he doesn't know he has a case in the 11th circuit. there's one of two things either he does know and he's not telling us or he's really woefully ilprepared and there's not a change in corporate culture when you see that. >> do you envision any legislation coming about as a result of this >> i think the combination of equifax and wells fargo and the concern that everybody has about corporate accountability, one of the things that i've been working on has been changing in the intent element in white collar crime because obviously people think that as long as i didn't know i'm not going to suffer the ultimate consequence which is white collar crime, i might get fined or this might happen to the business but
1:39 pm
nothing's going to happen to me. until -- the frustration that people in my tate of north dakota have is you take the whole economy and no one went to jail. how can that possibly be true? if we start developing a level of personal responsibility of corporate leadership with the ultimate penalty being a criminal prosecution we'll see changes in terms of the duty to know. >> how would you apply that to the case of wells fargo? should somebody go to jail >> i think somebody should go to jail. >> who should go to jail >> the person who is the most culable for making the decisions and i think that was the head of the retail division. i think the point of the hearing is to try and figure out how we continue to see these problems. you think about wells fargo. we started out with they're opening up accounts without permission. then we find out they're putting people on -- making people buy car insurance that they don't
1:40 pm
need and then repossessing cars when that insurance isn't paid. so it's like this cumulative thing, look, you keep telling us trust us we've got it. we heard the message. we're really sorry and then they turn around and say, something else happened but we didn't know about that, trust us. we're really sorry. what's it going to take to change the culture so there's accountability at the top. this happened at our community banks. that message is, it's the fault of the people who are the materials and the loan officers in banks in north dakota and not the fault of upper management. that's again a dodge of upper management responsibility. >> it sounds like clawing back some of the bonus, some of the salary -- since the hetd of the community bank at the time that may not be the end of it. there may be more fallout. >> absolutely. i think that all of these
1:41 pm
examples illustrate things that we need to understand if we're really going to protect consumers of these institutions. equifax. i have no relationship with them. i've never told them what they could do with that data and now my data's been breached and oh, by the way, initially they said and to protect yourself you need to spend x number of dollars. i think elizabeth did a good job walking through how that actually benefits companies like equifax and we can't have that consequence as a result of a breach as large. take a look what happened today with yahoo. clearly congress needs to have a sit down and a come to meeting of minds about what the expectations are not only to prevent breaches but how people need to react when that happen. >> senator, thanks so much of your time. we appreciate it. to the bond market now rick santelli is tracking all the
1:42 pm
action. >> it was all about ism nonmanufacturing today. let's look at a chart. this series was started '97. here's a 20 year chart. today we had to read a 59.8. we've only had three numbers stronger. we had them in august '79, 61 change in '04 and 61.3 in 2005. august that's what we're comping to but that is a powerful number and it changes the complexion of many markets today. created this whole top that we haven't traded below, same on day 30. maybe the dollar index is the best example it did reach its high water mark right at 10:00 eastern. the moral of the story, there's a lot of things going on and central banks may do a lot of different things in the future but in the end sometimes the markets give us good info, strong fundamentals will be the underpingings of future trades.
1:43 pm
and this number goes a long way in arguing, if you're looking at a 2.5%, you may not be as crazy. >> noted. burgers and semi-trucks, two areas where analysts see opportunity. street talk is next. plus tesla shares up more than 60% this year. we'll talk to a analyst whose really bullish on the stock giving it the highest ice pr target on the street. "power lunch" will be right back. people don't invest in stocks and bonds. they don't invest in alternatives or municipal strategies. what people really invest in is what they hope to get out of life. but helping them get there means you can't approach investing from just one point of view. because it's only when you collaborate and cross-pollinate many points of view that something wonderful can happen. those people might just get what they want out of life.
1:45 pm
1:46 pm
>> correct. >> when you're coming off the tesla valuation you had to meld various sectors in order to come up with this $500 price target. what are the sectors you drew from >> i looked at the software sector. i see tesla's as a technology company whose biggest asset is manufacturing and the end product happens to be electric vehicles and energy storage, but you've got a company with exponential groaning, negative cash flow. that looks very similar to sass companies that trade at multiples as high as ten times sales. so when we look at tesla and where it's trading at today we think there's a lot of room for the multiple to expand. >> you view it as a tech company with its largest asset being manufacturing. i would think that would be the reverse in the world of technology. manufacturing is not an asset and that is actually just something that you don't want a
1:47 pm
company to actually do. the more that's in the cloud the better and here tesla is, it's so tied to the manufacturing process and not just to the manufacturing process, but expanding that process to various lines, soon a semi-truck. that seems like it would be a wait on that valuation >> they've got what we believe is an insurmountable lead in vehicle range and what we're looking at is company that owns the manufacturing for the battery and much of the supply chain that leads to the car and melissa that's enable them to deliver a vehicles like the model 3 that can provide a range of 315 miles for about 40 to $45,000 and that's significantly better than what's available in the marketplace. i would go back to manufacturing as the key reason why they have
1:48 pm
