5:01 pm
the s&p closing at another record high. we thought it might be time for mission impossible your mission should you choose to accept it with the s&p trading at around 17 will it find value with many stocks cheap for a reason, how do you know if you're buying a stock that's a value trade or trap? >> luckily, we've got a game for that i'm going to give the traders a name they'll say if it's a value trade or trap. it's very straightforward. hopefully no confusion tonight guy, we'll start with you. and apple, up 30% this year. a forward price to earnings ratio 16.5 value trade or trap? >> first thing you said was if you choose to accept it. >> or if understand is the game. >> that was more relevant for you. >> if i say i don't haas choose to accept it, we move on. >> choose to accept it. >> play the game. >> value listen, i'm not going to pretend, it, i haven't been some
5:02 pm
raging bull. wrong, right, but i'll say there. you mentioned 16.5 times, if you back out cash or add cash, it's lower than that in terms of valuation. as revenue continues to grow in that field, now 19% of all revenues, i think they deserve a bigger valuation maybe an 18, 18 sort of a mark in multiple, gets you $241 stock. katie huberty has a $241 price target if you think another $20 is in reach, i say value. >> that's the question will we get growth right now the reason it is priced the way it is, it's a utility. you continue to buy your phone every couple years, you pay your little it's likely the last thing you get rid of in a recession. a trade is similar to a utility. probably why warren buffett likes it. >> no, it's a consumer products
5:03 pm
company, masked as a technology company. therefore, i agree with guy but it's not a value trade relative to itself. it's very expensive relative to itself which means it has to be traded differently there is a consumer products brand. we know about the services business. >> does that mean it's a value trade or a value. >> i wanted to trade brian i didn't think it was a utility company. >> that was great. >> is there a graphic that fires when he says trap? >> if somebody says something definitively, it will fire so far guy has. >> >> we don't have buttons for everything under is the sun. is it a trade or trap? >> i'll go on the trappish side. i don't think there's anything wrong with it. >> it's a trap. >> trap, yes, trap that's the one. >> thank you. >> such a simple premise. >> a $30 billion number now.
5:04 pm
i don't know how you can argue that this is anything but a ral view trade with apple. what was important is guy's talking about 240 bucks? >> $241. >> we were adjust talking about that number that gets you to a trillion dollars. >> you have to believe in the growth of the services business. >> it is a business where there is a refresh cycle, where it's still dependent on iphone sales. that services number is increasing dramatically. >> okay. >> enough to offset whatever dependence they had on the actual hardware. >> walmart's the next stop this one is for bk, down 3% on the year forward pe of 20 but surging of late value trade or trap? >> i'm going to go with value trap on there. this is a name i like. this is more -- i'm going to -- it's more because i would rather be in target primarily because walmart 20 times, trading up 20 times next year have gone
5:05 pm
through their transition it is getting traction target is just starting, trading at 15, 16 times next year. i get a better dividend. wall part is the trap, target is the trade value style. >> a game within a game. >> i'm going to be very clear. absolutely value trap. walmart relative to itself, long-term history it's a value trap even amazon looks cheap relative to walmart relative to itself. what i mean, people are calling this a tech company, et cetera i like the fact their online business is able to compete. they're competing with about five other major competitors in the u.s. and everyone globally >> they're the only one who can't compete with amazon. i think that the people that many say that amazon is too pricey, don't get to say that with walmart walmart is the only competitor to amazon. they're in the in scope right
5:06 pm
now which is short-term weakness. >> compared to itself the pe looks rich right now so you're making the case that you need to rerate the stock. >> i think there's growth ahead. you could see an expansion -- you could see multiple expansion because they're where you're going to see growth. no one associated walmart with a growth name. >> you know what i can't believe i'm about to say this i happen to agree with bk. i say it's value >> what did i say wrong? >> you just said value. >> value trade. >> it's a fast pitch too, by the way. >> we're going to do a power pitch later. the comps up 4.5% in the u.s the best in 1'4" years groceries the best comps in nine years. maybe the pe won't go higher but maybe one component of that, maybe profits or earnings component will continue to go
5:07 pm
higher maybe they'll have the same valuation with growing earnings. >> next up, goldman sachs down 5% this year trading ten times earnings. >> goldman is a valued trade can we stamp that and get it out of the way >> look who's demanding? >> bottom line here, price to trade about 1.5 times. i think the entire financial sector has been under a lot of the pressure we know it trades cheap to the rest of the gix as we say. goldman is a place people are waiting to see how they operate in a new world order i think that really helps goldman sachs, less regulation these guys are financial engineers. i want to own them at this level. >> your beloved goldman sachs guy. called a trap by tim. >> he didn't say it was a trap >> you're now playing the game wrong. pay attention. tim said val ru trade.
5:08 pm
>> i went out of my way to make that clear. >> i agree >> it's all about price to book. 194 was the book value last quarter. put a 1.8 multiple on that, you have a $350 stock. it's not going there tomorrow but i think if it gets anywhere close to where jpmorgan is trading, it's a buy. >> it's hard to argue it's not a value trade. >> you're here to do that. >> i should argue with it but i can't. it is a value trade. but it might take some time. i don't think we're in the era or the seasonality for financials to perform. i think it's going to take more time but i think you -- >> would you buy the stock >> right now >> yeah. >> no, give it breathing room. finishes are not where you want to be. >> it might take a long time for the stock to work out.
5:09 pm
>> i would call it a trap for exactly the reasons steve was saying there's got to be several things that go right for goldman to go higher maybe we need more volatility. maybe a meltup and you get more m&a. every piece of their business has to go bet per it's -- to me, buying it here without a traction there, it's a trap. >> try to get bk on to our side of the ledger. quickly. they have a cryptocurrency desk. >> they do have a cryptocurrency desk. >> that's what i'm talking about. >> it's a very small portion of the desk though. >> but it does get me excited. >> last but not least, the micron, up 27% this year trading at 4.5 times earnings. steve? >> it's an easy one. if you look back to may, it's made a series of lower highs this is deram. ultimately, there will be a flood of deram on the market you might get a quarter.
5:10 pm
it is a value trap to me. >> who greece? >> i do. value trap i'm kind of disappointed steve was out there with that. i think that's a contrarian view people look at the multiple and other semis and say this company is very, very cheap. if deram is under some pressure and snan rolling over, i don't want to own the stock right now. we've seen this with micron. at times when people are questioning their business, get out of the way i'm out of the way. >> i'm going to pull out something that wasn't on the initial rundown. the s&p 500 value trade or value trap that's what the folks at home are thinking right now with the s&p at records guy. >> if rates are going to rise, this is the point tim made, the s&p 500 is getting expensive that's not a reason to sell the market markets can get more expensive i think it's more value trap here than value, my opinion.
5:11 pm
>> yeah, here's my view. i think we can have a melt higher that doesn't mean that it's value there's a value in it. i do think it the market cook health higher. i would just trade it without the value part i can i do that? >> you can verbally say that. >> i am a wall street guy, i can tranche it. >> it's got to be a value trade. if you think it's going up it is going to be a performance chase going into year end. a bunch of targets in the s&p. earnings are intact. consumer confidence is at 1 year highs. everything that you look at as any other metrics is bullish for the market. >> it goes higher without it being a value here. >> i'm trying hard to play the game i think it's going higher. >> is that what you think? >> look, i want to say value trap because i think ultimately, the s&p in a rising rate environment will see a multiple contraction. however, relative to itself the
5:12 pm
s&p is very attractive i think there's more momentum to go i think the market is higher between now and year end except for the fact that i think key metrics are very expensive. >> check out shares of the one hot stock of the day till ray it is soaring after hours. sim says there is one thing it the ceo said about the company. >> plus, president trump taking on facebook, google and twitter. we will tell what you it could mean for the group. later, it is a food fight. grub hub is scoring campbells soup getting crushed what is behind the changing of the gud.ar we're live from times square in new york city. much more "fast money" right

5:16 pm
so i think that google and twitter and facebook they're really treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful. it's not fair to large portions of the population. >> all three companies he mentioned trading down about 1% today. this comes after this morning the president tweeted that google and others are suppressing voices of vefrttives and that "google search results for trump news showing only is the viewing reporting of fake news media." in response, google say "when use areas type queries into the search bar our goal is to make sure had he receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds. every year we issue hundreds of improvements to be they as high quality content. we continually work to improve google's search and never ramping results tols political sentiment. on friday, trump lashed out
5:17 pm
saying "social media giants are silencing millions of people and, of course, we're looking ahead to next week google facebook and twit remember right now preparing to testify. that's coming up on capitol hill next wednesday >> julia, thank you. you know, i was talking to ed lee over at "the new york times" today about this he was saying that we don't really know how the algorithms work for the most part, it is a black box. they issue updates every year. we do know how this works. is there even a point? could you even make the case because we don't know how they work. >> of course you can make any case you don't know who is programming the algorithms if there's a person are liberal tendencies or right wing, you don't know how that is programmed you can make the case is it a long-term case, is it credible to be affect the stock i don't think longer term you could affect the stock. >> is this a security issue where the companies can wouldn't be -- i wouldn't say hacks or
5:18 pm
attacks. if there's an outside force able to manipulate the search, that means the company isn't in control of its product. >> that's the problem. there's both. >> it's both, outside inside, and inside influences come against it there's not a good solution. that's why the stocks are in trouble. >> if it's inside, it's worse. the point i would like to continue to make about facebook and google and to a lesser extent twitter is that i think these companies don't really know the cost of security to their sites. therefore, as an investor, how do you know what the margins will be? mark zuckerberg could not tell us the new cost of facebook. they told us the costs on security would go significantly higher that's not a company that just needs programmers to tinker around that means a company that no longer knows exactly what their business costs are that's a big deal. that's why facebook has done nothing.
5:19 pm
stocks down from earnings. >> okay. so i don't think it's going to suddenly rind rebound. >> the one that scares me the foest is facebook for all the reasons tim just said. there is a an chance you retest the level we saw during the zuckerberg testimony we saw on capitol hill 150ish or so the one with the most upside is twitter but compelling on valuation is google. the president can talk all he wants. google is the most interesting. >> google to me has the biggest rick up 18% year to date. >> why >> because search is their bread and butter they're the gorilla in the room. if anything comes off of that, incrementally? if those algorithms -- we saw you when facebook screwed around with theirs. if google does it and it hearst incrementally it's hurting on their major source of income. >> you have to decide whether google as a algorithm, could they legislate an algorithm?
5:20 pm
or the other side you have twitter and facebook shutting down phony accounts. we kobe know how many accounts are there are. mark zuckerberg can say we shut down 900 we don't know if that's the tip of the iceberg or almost all of them >> their calculations are hard to do. you have to do it as an investor >> facebook to tim's point could be under scrutiny and the stock under pressure i understand what steve is saying if we get into an environment where the government regulates google, we have bigger problems. >> i'm just saying if they can prove whoever is writing these algorithms has an agenda, that's problematic. >> but of the three stocks, i agree with guy twitter has the most upside. it is in a different way, they've also had the benefit of behind sight or seeinging what

zuckhuuckerberg did with facebo. >> the president commenting on this makes it sound like an emerging market. >> check out shares of tilray flying high after a massive surge and the ceo just said something that's got tim seymour even more excited about the stock. you're watching fast money on cnbc here's what else is coming up on "fast. >> i never very to ring the dinner bell for timmy. his appetite is fantastic. >> i'll be washed up in a jiffy. >> jimmy isn't eating campbells anymore. the company that is cashing in on timmy's changing habits plus, pete is punching one surging dell stock he says is about to soar off trump trade deals. when "fast money" returns. bl believe in luck.

5:28 pm
you can't put those normal metrics or the fundamentals overly on it these are not value. these are growth names this is -- if it's $150 billion market, i'm happy with that. if tim says it's bigger, then the growth is even more spectacular than we all think. >> the other part of here, you only have a few ways to play it in the u.s if you want to get exposure, you only have a couple names this could be a huge, huge market from multiple different levels i'm a buy on the dips. if tilray got back to around 50 or so, i would be a buyer. >> what's the market cap on a tilray >> we're now about close to $5 billion. >> this is a case where the stock was a week and a half ago, the whole week has been transformative exciting time. >> you've got to wonder if it gets big enough, it could be included in an index it's a u.s. listed stock >> they were the first u.s. ipo in cannabis. can knowpy, $13 billion.

welcome back to "fast money. time for instant replay. in february pete said it was time to bet on united health. >> when you go across the entire story of what's going on right now with united health, yes, it got up near the 250 level.
5:33 pm
had a little bit of a pullback, about 6% off the highs this is a name like humana that screamed higher. i think it can go closer towards 300. >> not quite at 300 yet. it was a good call it is up 15% since then. pete joins us from exotic minneapolis, minnesota what do you do with united health now >> i still love the stock. i gottous last week. i like the stock but it's made the moves 300, i was hoping to see 300. i look at the market right now and i like what i see in the overall broad market we're at new highs i wonder if we're sort of setting up for some sort of pullback sooner or later there were a lot of names in the last week or two i exited out of minnesota company, they've done everything right there's no complaints. i just wonder, is it strepped right now if i look at the valuation? i decided yes, and wanted to put my money elsewhere. >> you got the hautd hand.
5:34 pm
what's your next home run idea >> one of the names i wanted to put myself into is a name beaten down you talked about it coming into this caterpillar. i like it because if you start off with the management perspective, how about the fact that this guy who is now running the company, he has been there since 1980 he is a life who's been at caterpillar. everybody knows who he is. he's worked every different sort of aspect of the business co because of that, i think he has a lot of the respect if you look over the first -- he's been there a year and a half the first six quarters he's beat on earnings and he's beat on revenue. he's beaten on the top and bottom his focus is on growth the interesting part about this company is from a fundamental perspective, when you look where they are right now, the fact they traded basically called it a 11 or 12pe or on the forward side, that says how inexpensive
5:35 pm
they are versus the competition. the buybacks over the last five years reduced their stock by almost 10%, just a little bit under 10%. i look at that aspect of it. i always focus on the growth once you like what's going on with management. growth right now, look at earnings three years ago, 2016, they were earning $3 a share 2017, toward $6. now somewhere between $10 and $11, nearly tripled what they're doing. so earnings growth, revenue growth is 26% this past quarter. they have an incredible backlog. $3 billion added to the present backlog. now it's over $17 billion. there's a lot of reasons right now to see caterpillar you say maybe it starts to move back towards the other highs it had up in the 170s from where it is right now. >> pete, nice to see you exotic port of call. i tend to agree with the thesis.
5:36 pm
what worries me is the valuation relative to the s&p is a discount it's usually been the harbinger of bad things to come. are you award about this earnings cut that is implied by the valuation. >> you know, no, tim matter of fact, when you looked what had he said in their earnings report and the guidance, it seems strong. when you look at the business model, 50% north america a lot of that construction related. if we believe what we're hearing from washington, d.c. and loy the of work that goes into the field, that could be a bigger growth factor going forward than it has been already. they've got 50% international obviously, as well so there are certain pockets where i think we might see weakness i think there are other pockets we'll see strength oil and gas, you talk about these names all the time that's oneof the areas where they she a lot more growth into the future there are areas that might be weaker the strengthing will overcome that if you look at earnings, they're spectacular.
5:37 pm
i still think it's just too cheap right now. i think it's a great opportunity. >> pete, how much credibility do you put into the china tariff trade wars have reached peak and now into your analysis of cat, what are you looking as far as percentage waiting on that is that somewhat of a catalyst for you? because it seems the stock popped yesterday and it's head those levels today all on trade >> right yeah, well, we all know that's probably the one aspect of the markets that's going to be a question mark for probably awhile i think we're starting to feel a little bit better. what happened the other day with president trump and the workings with mexico and will that start to see in other areas in terms of tariffs and how we're going to deal with a lot of trade talk, i tend to think that the negotiation is working if i'm right about that, there are a lot of stocks held down that i think have a lot of room to the upside. >> time to vote on pete's pitch
5:38 pm
which is on a company caterpillar, not based in minnesota which is shocking. but let's go tim in. >> chicago. >> close i guess tim? >> i'm a buyer that's pete driving his tonka truck. i think mining recovery is happening. i'm a buyer. yeah, you know what? i'm with pete. he's way out in fargo. he knows tractors. i go with buy. pete was pitching cap but came loaded for bear i'm going to go with a buy. >> wow, three buys guy, what do you say >> i haven't seen pete in awhile that's a plasma. >> i'm going to give him a hug just wave. i want to say cat, i want to say $10 billion authorization starting january 1st an additional $4 billion left on this buyback so i say pete looks good with

5:52 pm
board. shares of grub hub have nearly doubled just so far this year which makes it worth over $12 billion. and melissa, the question becomes will traditional consumer staples companies be able to be an adopt to survive and thrive against faster growing food related rivals at least for right now, it looks like the new food trade is outperforming the old food trade. >> thanks. question here. when was the last time, tim, you opened a can of camp be's soup >> let's see reasonably when i kicked the slats out of my cradle it's been a long time. >> when was the last time you ordered in >> three nights ago. >> does that is encapsulate this trade? >> no, i love campbell's soup. chunky stuff that you get the can opener, open that stuff, put it in for 30 secs. >> you put the can in the microwave? scenario of no, i don't. >> you're not the righter. to ask. >> of course, i'm not the right person to ask.

5:55 pm
double the average call volume a pretty big move especially for a consumer staple food stock like campbell's. a move of about 8% one way or the other. after they report earnings what's interesting though is we saw longer data call buying. a large purchase, somebody paid $1.25 for 5,000 of those making a bet the stock will be higher than $45 up about 16% from where the stock currently closed and the other interesting thing i would point out about this, you know, from a price to earnings perspective is, campbells is cheap not as cheap because they've taken on a lot of debt using options to make a bullish on the stock is probably the best way to play it. >> let's bring mike in on this game. >> sure. >> knowledgeable about soup. >> would you rather campbell's soup or grub hub, mike >> you know, i kind of like soup because there is a lit of leverage and room for
