tv   The Exchange  CNBC  March 15, 2019 1:00pm-2:01pm EDT

1:00 pm
>> good stock. >> brenda. >> sherwin williams. leverage to the consumer free wash flow story >> we talked about software and tech oracle this thing is going higher >> safe travels. "the exchange" with kelly starts right now. thank you, scott hi, everyone here's what's ahead this hour. tech roars back. the sector is on pace for its best week of the year. it's up for 11 of the past 12 weeks. shakeup at facebook. with the loss of its top executive and why investors are on edge. >> the business of college advisors apple tells its privacy and the self-lacing fail all ahead on "rapid fire". we begin with today's markets. >> kelly, this could be the break out. maybe the bulls are looking for. we have a green screen across the board. highs of the session dow is up by 200 points.
1:01 pm
three quarters of 1% more importantly we're above that 2815 level, 2828 the last trade on the s&p which means we're just above that break out level perhaps good signal another leg higher nasdaq composite up by a percent. another sector to watch. best performer last year and worst this year. health care. microsoft shares a big focus as well you can see here with this particular move the health care versus the spider, that gap something we watch let's talk about microsoft we're at an all time high. i'll put a little star there for microsoft. all time high. up 25% since the lows we saw back on december 24th. and this stock is riding a six day winning streak kelly, it's well above its moving average leading the way higher for the
1:02 pm
market back to you. >> we'll talk more about the tech sector. welcome to "the exchange". i'm kelly evans. u.s. job option in january rebounded to 6.6 million crude today crossed above $59 a barrel then it retreated on reports of soaring production boeing jumped on reports that a soft grade would be available in ten days for those 737 max 8 jets it still expects a fix in the coming weeks let's get back to the markets. bob pisani is new york stock exchange >> boeing helped fuel a rally in the dow and the s&p. we're above that 2815 level where we have failed several times, five times in the last six months this is a very positive if we close here in earnings the first companies with quarters ending in february are coming out
1:03 pm
mixed results. bro broadcom had a slow down in china. we're sitting at a historic high for broadcom oracle, it was down earlier on but now it's positive. just shy of historic high. adobe revenue guidance on the weak side. what does this mean? after the fourth quarter numbers came out earnings were cut fast and heavy three months ago particularly for tech. too early to tell but looks like any earnings cuts would be more modest micron and fedex next week back to yo back to you. >> you say these are names to watch for whether we'll see that come through or not for the first quarter. >> right now we're just on the cusp of being negative for the first quarter. right now we're down 1%. i think the numbers next week depending on micron and fedex
1:04 pm
could turn us into positive territory. i think right now the probability of an earning recession is fairly small, but i want to hear from fedex because that's the real key. two big global ones next week. >> fedex had a tough go of it lately bob pisani, thanks very much some movement on the trade front. chinese vice premier spoke to treasury secretary mnuchkin and robert lighthizer and both sides made concrete progress does this mean a deal is at hand welcome derrick. we have a nice rally on wall street today i don't know how much people expect a deal to fall through at this point because the rhetoric has been fairly positive what do you make of this latest news >> i think we've been on track to have a deal since back in november as long as the president want as deal we'll have one. doesn't mean that there aren't
1:05 pm
important issues to get over last week people were wondering whether the president still wanted a deal. the commitment is still there. will this deal last or fall pay part due to political problems in the u.s. in the 2020 election i think a deal is likely >> how much does the outcome depend on the summit between president trump and president xi and when it happens, whether it happens at mar-a-lago, the optics of the china wanting some other kind of state visit to make it seem they are just not coming here for our sake how does that feed into what deal does emerge >> well the chinese are not going to come to mar-a-lago. xi jinping will not come to mar-a-lago unless the deal is done if you get that announcement we have a deal and then some parameters will be added or not added, but we have a core deal if xi jinping comes to mar-a-lago if they meet somewhere else or in another format that says
1:06 pm
president trump and the general secretary they need to reconcile some things before we're finished with the deal so the chinese don't want to come to mar-a-lago without a deal in hand if you get that announcement we have a deal -- if you get an announcement of a meeting elsewhere that doesn't mean the deal is dead or in trouble that just means there are some issues to be closed >> how do you think u.s. business will change in the wake of this deal from what we know at this point. is there a lot that will change technology and financial institutions operate abroad or even consumer companies or not what do you think >> well, i'm a skeptic of this deal lasting i certainly am a skeptic of the idea we'll have a deal that will change our relationship with china for ten years. if that's what the market is looking for i think that's unrealistic. we'll get more chinese purchases on an intense purpose. we'll get a truce on ip and tech
1:07 pm
transfer which will benefit america business in china for a year, year and a half. i think over time reality will set in that the u.s. an china have a lot of differences economically, politically, militarily even, and what you're going to get is happy days for about a year, maybe a little longer and then we'll get a reversion to where we are now for most american businesses >> that's a reality check. thanks so much for joining me. the markets meanwhile have had a stan out year and tech is leading the harrington the nasdaq is the best performer with a 16% gain this year up for its 11th positive week out of 12 ross, what do you think about the tech rebound it's a little unfair to talk about the year-to-date gains because those were so close to the low. how do things look to you now? >> we've had a lot of change since q4 with the fed and trade making a lot of progress this is predicated on a trade
1:08 pm
resolution i don't want to get too excited yet because with trump you don't know what's next i think that there's so much risk for xi and trump if this deal doesn't get done that it will get done. that's what the markets are saying this is a done deal. technology will be gainers here in china because there was a lot of abuse of our tech companies in china and that was a big part of the trade relationship. but also these are the best companies in america and people would rather buy, you know, cash rich, profit rich, you know, tech companies than the ges and sort of the industrials of today. >> ross mentioned this but the fact that the federal reserve, every couple of a minutes now we're seeing notes coming out about how congress isn't expecting as many as rate hikes. >> it certainly factors in because it presents a tail end for investors and valuations and
1:09 pm
whatnot. speaking of those valuations the reason why you can have valuations escalating the way they are for technology, the markets overall is because the fed may be on pause. i mean, ross mentioned the idea that during the loss we had maybe overshot a bit at that point the s&p tech sector was trading at 14 times forward or anticipated earnings. that's pretty good for the technology sector from a valuation -- pretty low, it's a value. these days we've been up to about 18 times forward earnings so it's not like the markets haven't been aware of what's going on the question becomes 18 times next year's earnings it's still a good buy i would argue the best companies in the world can demand that >> no shortage of a tax on them these days >> the anti-capitalism attacks, i think, make good rhetoric but what reality is why would you want to hurt the best companies and most important companies for american growth? and let the chinese have an even
1:10 pm
bigger advantage in technology to me those attacks are really, really short sighted and almost ignorant you know, we've got to really accept that companies like amazon and google and apple and microsoft are just an a-plus position business wise and really just about whether they can scorew it up like facebook. >> will they sell off more if federal reserve is back in the picture which granted it doesn't feel like these days with any more prone to selling off on that news than if there's a failure in the trade deal, for example? >> no. i think the whole market would sell off on the fed anyways. trade is really important to technology these are global businesses. and the disruption in the trade thing is creating a lot of issues for a lot of company, small and large in so many areas that you sort of don't expect because of the global supply chain and so, you know, we got
1:11 pm
to resolve this so businesses can make cap x spending and have confidence decisions they make, makes sense. that's the problem with this stuff. the market hasn't gone anywhere in a year. we're back to where we were. this is really the inflection point. can the market move high center can we get a trade deal? we have a nice rally >> you're an owner of these names. how does this stack up against other sectors? >> it's a value compared to other parts of the market. you look at consumer staples or consumer discretionary they are trading on an elevated basis even technology or communications services. so there's an underlying bid in valuations for some of those defensive sectors but you wonder whether that wears off given the fact that the markets have reclaimed this resistance point that bob pisani talked about if that's the case, maybe those com services and tech companies
1:12 pm
become >> appreciate it guys. speaking of tech how is this for a set. amazon stock is now rated a buy by all 45 analysts included in factset. that should have made us nervous. there are all rating it a buy. >> announcer: ahead, facebook on pace for its worse day since 2018 this after the highest executive departure in its history. will it change the direction of the company? plus the big business of college admissions advisors. 8,000 nationwide charging up to $15,000 a year details of this growing industry and home prices are cooling, but rents are rent hot we'll tell you why and where they are growing most. is is "the exchange" on cnbc

1:15 pm
facebook losing two key executives in the wake of its big announcement this week the company saying private encrypted messaging is its future chris cox leaving saying
1:16 pm
facebook needs leaders who are excited to see the new direction through. let's bring in kevin delaney co-founder and editor-in-chief at quartz. how is facebook battling to protect and grow its core business welcome to you both. kevin, i want to begin with you. you say chris cox's departure is a crisis moment for facebook snooirts big deal. mark is trying to start a new chapter for facebook chris cox is a trusted conif i dan of mark. he's been there for a long time. his departure of dan rhodes. facebook is not tesla in terms of executive departures but more turnover at the very top than we've seen this is start agnew chapter. it lends some weight, to what markets have been saying about private messaging.
1:17 pm
mark and chris suggested that there's a difference of opinions around that. we've been trying to figure out how serious mark is about this new direction. this suggests it's pretty serious. >> what does that mean facebook investors are nervous shares are down 5% since this announcement was made. they've come back a little bit this means maybe dampening the news feed. still have access to user data that they can sell they have instagram to place a lot of ads is there a reason why this would hurt the business model? >> the move to more privacy focused future for facebook is really more conceptual at this point than real. so it's too soon to tell what it means for its business model i don't think the ad model is going anywhere i think facebook was faced with a predicament, they got these two incredibly popular platforms, instagram and what's app but have not monetized
1:18 pm
successfully either one. advertisers are not moving over there as quickly as facebook would like they haven't monetized it as quickly. what's app is barely monetized given the currents landscape i don't think facebook could say we're rolling out massive ads across these private messages. they are trying to have it both ways they are going the privacy route yes explore other business models it doesn't mean there won't be ads on what's app or anywhere else on the fabricate universe >> is this the biggest issue for the company on a week that have seen their worse outage. potential criminal charges a criminal probe into some of these data deals with elizabeth warren calling for their breakup and then more sort of rules from tuck and from the eu coming. >> i think they are two issues for facebook right now and both issues that you highlighted.
1:19 pm
the first one is clearly governments, regulators, politicians are coming at them and there is some nonzero risk they will find themselves regulated in a much more serious way even if it's short than what elizabeth warren is proposing. that's a significant risk to the business second thing is where is facebook's growth coming from. they have over 2 billion monthly users. at the same time what we've seen in the more mature markets their growth is slowing. that's an issue for facebook because those are the markets that have the highest in their ability to sell advertising. that's the second thing. mark in this announcement and potentially with chris cox's departure those are both linked to these two issues trying to get ahead of some of the regulation and also figure out what's the next chapter much growth for facebook. >> and the way people will use facebook and the way that it will impact the 2020 election. we talk about issues with spreading fake news on the public platforms
1:20 pm
what happens if that is spread privately and encrypted. what happens if law enforcement wants more access to these messages when they need to prosecute crimes and that sort of thing >> this is going from one hot mess to potentially another. i think, you know, it's not just the potential implications with law enforcement and governments and how do you deal with that as we saw with apple and other companies. this is a huge issue and only going to grow. it's also, you can spread misinformation through what's app very effectively and recently facebook cracked down on the number of forwards that you can effect with what's app messages just because something is a little bit more one to one doesn't mean that it can't be used for nefarious purposes. >> absolutely. we'll see how they battle that thank you guys shares of tesla also falling nearly 4% today after elon musk
1:21 pm

1:33 pm
is it? >> there's an arms race now and it is fueled by money and the goal is to get into school this scandal aside, the wealthy have all of these advantages whether it's prep for your test, your tutors, whether it's these counselors there's a spectrum in terms of how involved they get with your process. they may guide you on the essay or write it. but clearly there's these haves and have notes in the world of education. >> the counselors will say we want to help level the playing field. really you're going to level the playing field at $1,000 an hour. you're going to grow the gap who has access to $1,000 counselor. not low-income people. >> one of those catalysts that will change the way of higher education as we know it. this idea that you do not need a four year degree from an ivy

1:35 pm
let's talk about walmart walmart is one of the companies taking extensive measures to keep health care costs lower we're talking about flying one walmart employee for a second pinto another doctor that saved walmart $30,000 because the guy didn't need spine surgery. he had parkinson's the diagnosis, it was essential he get the proper diagnosis not get a back surgery he didn't need for walmart yes you get the savings. it goes back to this idea that they need to improve the quality and the cost of care >> sort of a feel good story to show how employers and corporations are making health care more effective. i looked up research from the national academy of medicine showing 12 million people on average are misdiagnosed i've seen it in my own family. the prevalence of being misdiagnosed >> it's important. companies pay half of the health care costs in this country and yet they feel like they have no control. this is a company stepping up
1:36 pm
and saying if we're going pay half the bill we want to have more say in how this process works. think of the hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars in term of the health care industry in an operation of that size it is not overly efficient. there are going to be ways you can arbitrage. the health care business in this country and maybe the world needs fixing >> there's not a lot of win-wins in this case it's a weird one where the employer and employee benefitted not because of the diagnosis but at least they don't give him a back surgery he didn't need. apple releasing a new tv ad touting how privacy is its biggest priority if privacy matters in your life it should matter to the phone your life is on. this last month we had news about-face time security bug but apple is trying to differentiate itself i think this will get harder now
1:37 pm
facebook will push people to encrypted messaging. >> the time is certainly notable. comes as regulatory scrutiny on google and facebook. they are they trying to set itself apart do you watch this tv ad and thinking i'm happy i think this is a marketing ploy >> this is step one. if they want to get in the health care where the money is there's no more important value of -- which company will i give all my health care information to the one that's the most secure this is apple setting the stage for saying we are the privacy company. we will keep your data locked up in a vault so when it comes to that health care platform that they are going launch at some point they will be trusted >> the other thing is to watch the apple/facebook back and forth because facebook in announcing its privacy thing this week said we're going to go to only put our servers in country where we trust the privacy and human rights record.
1:38 pm
apple has its servers in china mark zuckerberg and tim cook have gone back and forth who has the moral upper hand i think facebook is now going to try to say we're a privacy company too, and apple better make sure it's not being hypocritical >> that's a tough argument wherever your server is facebook has a challenge. >> you open a window to talk about huawei or 5g networks. >> privacy is the hot word >> great ad. very funny ad. >> i like that >> how about this? nike's new self-lacing smart sneakers they are not too smart a feature in "the washington post" details some consumer horror stories including how a software update corrupted the shoes lace engine leaving it unjalk to tie manually nike fixed the issue >> lace engine your shoe has a lace engine.
1:39 pm
we have too much engineering in this world >> some would say to your point about apple's health care stock. this is real this is something that helps orlando population but better not have any glitches >> yeah. >> kicking around your own shoes because of a software connection >> oit with the amazon alexa device >> when cars are connected >> these products need to stay in research and development a bit longer basically using us as guinea pigs >> president trump tweeting about aircraft and how complicated they are and i'm saying maybe just lacing up your own shoes is the way to go simplest is the best >> opt-out while you can thank you all. >> have a great weekend guys san francisco is the most expensive big city in america. with public offerings now and ipos coming from lyft, uber and

public debut that could mean a bonanza new wealth for those employees and some wealth could make it right here to the san francisco housing market that market has recently cooled. zillow said home ovals dropped by $35,000 in the past month first month to month drop in years. still the median home value here, kelly, $1.4 million. that's the highest of any big city in the nation patrick carlisle, the chief market analyst gives us some data to think about. he says the 12 months before google as ipo in 2004, san francisco median real estate prices in neighborhoods favored by techies climbed 12% but in the 12 months after they jumped 23%. you'll remember that was at the height of the housing boom before real estate agents popped the champagne bottles. zillow economist jeff tucker asked what if these stocks go public but don't rally investors and their stocks sink.
1:44 pm
in fact zillow estimated year to year growth in home values of less than 2% this year the question is what's the impact of these tech ipos on that forecast. >> josh, i know we're about to talk about this with diana not just the home buying market but rents too, right >> reporter: that is absolutely true so, kelly, as somebody who is desperately trying to move here, finding a new place to rent, i can tell you that's challenging too. i actually had the guys at zillow crunch those numbers. they tell me median rental price for a one bedroom in san francisco, that clocks in at $3,500 and that too they told me the highest in the country >> $3,500 to rents a one bedroom apartment? >> reporter: that is accurate. now you see my dilemma >> your studio works just find but it doesn't josh, thank you so much. diana, you have a different way of looking at the rental market
1:45 pm
not just obviously in the hottest parts of the country but elsewhere too? >> reporter: i'm looking where everybody else lives get ready to may more rent home prices might be cooling off but rents are heating up after taking a breather last year. rents for single family homes and apartments are now rising at the fastest pace in nearly a year according to zillow the median monthly rent of 1472 an increase of 2.4% annually for the typical renter this means about 400 bucks more a year this after rents fell last fall for the first time in more than six years. now, of course, all real estate is local rents are significantly higher than a year ago in orlando, phoenix, riverside, california, tampa and pittsburgh though not so much in san francisco yet anyway rents are unlikely to rise as fast as they did three years ago when demands was soaring because more millennials are buying more homes and home ownership is
