5:00 pm
right now. u.s. versus china and clearly the stocks, the chinese stocks are on the state department's radar. >> one pressure point the administration has tried to hit and essentially is trying to change this loophole that some chinese companies seem to enjoy. >> we are out of time here the dow just finished and the nasdaq just lower. thanks for watching "closing bell." "fast money" starts right now. >> thanks, guys. i'm melissa lee and this is "fast money. guy adami, tim seymour, karen finerman and dan nathan. >> taking flight, airplane flights soar and when passengers are really ready to return to the skies and we are all over the after-hours moves and gap and slack and both companies just reporting results and we'll break down the latest highlights with the quarters, but we start tonight with this. ♪ ♪ >> yep viva las vegas after 78 days in the dark, sin city is back in
5:01 pm
business and you are looking at the incredible scene at the d casino in las vegas shortly after it reopened at midnight. the casino is absolutely packed and very few people are wearing masks and no social distancing >> let's bring in the journalist who shot this video. mick akers >> was it as crowded as it looks in the video >> yeah, it was. that was taken nine minutes after they opened the doors an let people in so people were ready to fill in pretty quickly there. i wasn't expecting it to be that packed and that video is true to form >> what struck me when i saw this on twitter, i thought maybe this video got mixed up with pre-pandemic video of the d casino, but in fact, this is a scene that you have been witnessing all over the place. you've been going up and down the strip all day long and to the airport, as well >> yeah.
5:02 pm
i was at mccaron airport and i've been going there every so often since the shutdown and it's weird seeing that back and some other reporters are all around the city, and the bellagio reopened today and it had a pretty good crowd, the flamingo, caesar's and some great crowds there, so people are obviously ready to get back to the gambling action in las vegas. >> yeah. i want to show some of the video we have of the bellagio. obviously, in some areas of the hotel there is social distancing taking place versus when they first opened the doors in the lobby, but later on you see video of lines, people waiting in lines and they're on top of each other and they're not -- not everybody is wearing a mask. mick, are you surprised at the reopening that people aren't necessarily following the rules to a tee on the very first day what's it going to be like in two weeks? >> yeah, i'm surprised
5:03 pm
last night 15 to 20% of people had masks on all of the employees had masks on and customers, and i was surprised on thatend and socia distancing wasn't even a thing and they had dots on the ground and people weren't adhering to that slot machines are supposed to be cut off every other one, and there was some locations where all of the seats were in there and there were ten people filling the whole entire station so i was surprised that it wasn't being followed to a tee, but you'll see how it plays out over the weekend and see if there are complaints and adjustments being made. >> the d casino is not on the trip and have you seen the protocols being followed off the strip versus on strip? >> it seems a little more to the book on the strip. they took more precautions there, and their temperature scanners are a little bit more accurate and the one at the d were doing it on the wrist and people
5:04 pm
weren't testing above 98 degrees. it looks like they're advanced on those and they have plexiglas on the gaming tables and the slot machine wears and keeping space between people and sanitizing stations throughout, disinfecting and high-touch areas, and some of the mgm properties have hand washing stations on the floor so you don't have to go to the restroom to wash your hands and you can do it on the game floor. >> mick, thanks for giving us a glimpse of vegas you might be wondering why we started with the video of las vegas because it encapsulate it is the hope and the fear surrounding the economy. the hope that the consumer will come back strong as we saw with the crowds at those casinos on opening day, but the fear, of course, is that the reopening could seed another wave of coronavirus infections and a second wave, if you will how do you trade this and are we sort of at a wait and see moment in this rally, guy, as we reopen
5:05 pm
we await the impact on the infection rate, et cetera? >> i believe it's a wait and see, and tim's about to kill me for saying this. the mets every year will -- opening day and there are more people in concessions and in the stands >> i told you you would kill me and just give me a second and then you can go from there >> my point is it makes sense if you saw the crowds on reopening. my sense is that it will somewhat wane. i'll tell you this, i know i don't have much of a memory, but march 20th happens to be a friday and as you know we do a truncated show, and i remember tim and i had the performance of wynn, and it was 35 low and closed higher on the day and we mentioned it was a good sign and since then we've been relatively positive on these casino stocks, but i think now it the time you pull the rip cord and take
5:06 pm
process. credit suisse initiated the price target and that makes sense. i do think if you've enjoyed this run over the last couple of times, tim seymour, i'll let you go ahead, you mets fan you >> it could be a sign. the casinos are like throwing big money at the dice at the craps table. you have this data, these videos and this assessment of las vegas coming back or not and it reminds me of what we talked about yesterday as it related to the poll of who was going to take the vaccine if given and who was just going go for it, and i think there's a sense of an inevitability of this virus until there's actually a vaccine and some sense by a lot of folks that we have to get on with it if you look at the economy and look at the data points we've had, they're not green chutes. they are less bad. it's essentially the delta on where we are coming from is
5:07 pm
what's been getting people to feel better. if you look at the bond market and the treasury market and the move in the last three days. we've had a 20 basis point move in the ten-year and we closed at 82, 83 basis points and nothing to get excited about, per se and these are ten-week highs and the bond market, more than the equity market has certainly traded in a very tight range and has been on some level really what people were waiting for i'm not telling you that we should be seeing yields move quickly higher, but when you look at the weaker dollar, the yields break out, the inflationary stuff that continues to trade and be the best part of the market whether you're investing in resources or shippers and rail, that's the part that i think is reflective of what this las vegas scene is telling you about the appetite for health risk in this country. >> in terms of confirming this move, and dan, i'm going to go to you because you have highlighted financials as being the worst chart in the markets
5:08 pm
and it signals all sorts of bad things we've had financials trade very well and can you say maybe there's something to this rally? >> yeah, there is. we've been talking about this rotation and look at what underperformed with mega-cap tech and it outperformed with banks and they liked that steepening yield curve i'm not convinced right now. i know they're still down meaningfully from their january highs and the name like j.p. morgan is an all-time high and q-2, tim said this the data will be less bad. the data is historically horrible gdp now has q-2, gdp down 54% or so you have 43 million americans that have filed for unemployment over the last three months or so those numbers will get better period over period and they will stay bad and depressed for a long time, so when i see videos
5:09 pm
like that from las vegas last night, they might have the same opposite effect, and you guys will talk about the woefull mets in week two, that's what they look like. all of the sports may come back and there are no people in the stands and there are the concession workers and i think when we're thinking about the economy in the success half of 2020 and probably for the better part of 2021, we better start modeling what 10% unemployment looks like for a sustained period of time and just to refresh your memory, that's nearly three times what that 60-year low print in unemployment was at 3.5% in february, and i just think that the market right now is discounting a lot of good news on the reopening and a lot of good news about the vaccine and the speed of recovery. i don't buy it and -- listen, have at it the stock market is up 42% from those lows and you're telling me down 3% in the s&p 500 year to date that that makes any sense
5:10 pm
given what we know about the road back? i don't buy it >> nine and a half minutes is the show and we have our first danism have at it i agree with you and take your point in terms of the chronically high unemployment that we are likely to see persist. we see this betting against the consumer and we saw the video and the tanker saying in south carolina where things have reopened 80%, if the retail traffic was 80% of what it was pre-covid in the early days things like that make you think never bet against the consumer >> right i don't like to bet against the u.s. consumer, specially when the fed is also there in the biggest way that we've ever seen in the history of the fed. so i agree that it seems incredibly odd that we are down 3%, 4% and we're in the middle of a pandemic and depression-era unemployment, and i think the market is looking at the
5:11 pm
trajectory of earnings and not the absolute level of earnings and so i'm not looking to put new money to work here because i think so many things have moved so far, but i think that the bond move is important for banks, particularly and not just necessarily for their net interest margin which will have a minimal effect in the short term, but i think for the sentiment about banks. look at how poorly they were trading zero intrait interest rates or potentially negative interest rates and that was only two or three weeks ago, i think. and i think that for the moment is off the table i think we'll also see some more stimulus from the government so that can keep the fire going. i think there's also a little bit of adverse selection when you see videos like that one that the people who are the least afraid and the ones who
5:12 pm
wouldn't be looking to get the vaccine, they're all in and ready to go. i'm not. what would you rather do, melissa? what would you rather? fly or go to that casino >> i'd rather fly than go to the casino i mean, yeah would you agree, guys? >> yes, i would agree. >> i don't know. >> why not >> my view -- well, first of all, going to the casino, you are in control of your social distancing, on a plane it seems that you're not, and -- anyway, i think flying, we're going to talk about airlines later, and i think airlines are putting certain precautions in place that probably can't be violated as easily as the casinos, but look, i get that in the first nine minutes people are rushing into those casinos think, they were there's plenty of people that think they are immune and think they'll be impervious from the virus or maybe, in fact, they
5:13 pm
are. i'm not surprised that there are not -- that there are animal spirits for people that want to go out, spend some money and people are not in a good way emotionally right now and people are willing to throw caution to the wind lori, great to see you >> hi. great to be here you're calling for 2750 and what's the number one them are thing that you see with -- it's very textbook and the kinds of things that you work on a recession low has been working, and it is pretty rich right now. we are trading 21 times next year's earnings and you had a valuation opportunity and it's dissipated and now we have to confront the reality and we'll be in this hole in the market for a while and they're ignoring the lousy levels i think there are a number of hurdles that are coming up
5:14 pm
in particular the 2020 election is a big risk looming over the markets this summer that investors are starting to pay attention to i think also just the idea that we've seen the sequential progress is just pent up animal spirits as tim said earlier or is that going to be a sustained move if we just -- if this is just a big sigh of relief that's going on right now and we don't see that continued improvement on all fronts. i think markets will have a tough time frankly, i worry when we're talking about the consumer, we never saw consumer sentiment fall to financial crisis lows the way we did to economic indicators so if we do get a second wave of the virus and if we do have a changing of the guard in washington, these are all things that can potentially weigh on consumers. if those jobs that were lost don't come back, i don't think that's factored into the consumer psyche and it's not factored into the markets right now. >> it's funny because the 2020 election seems so far away
5:15 pm
because of what's going on right now and it is around the corner, lori and you do address a changing of the guard. i want to be clear to the audience, we're not a political show, and we're not endorsing democrats or republicans or anything like that, but how do the markets perceive donald trump staying in office, is that the preferred scenario still >> we try to stay out of the politics, as well and one of the ways we do that is we ask equity investors how do you think markets will react in different scenarios and what we've seen consistently over the last year, year and a half, they think a trump re-election is a positive outcome for markets and we've also seen that equity investors have generally expected the senate to stay in republican hands, and thought that there was no chance that the democrats would be able to come back in and it was sort of a hedge even if trump lost the senate wouldn't flip and so there wouldn't be any massive policy change what we know is that if you look at the betting markets and the
5:16 pm
predicted data, trump's expectations and his chances for reelection according to the betting markets have fallen and some of those data points that are tracked there and biden has it by a nose, and the senate is basically a toss-up. so the expectations on the political front that's the market-friendly scenario would stay in place, that's started to fade in the betting markets and i talked to investors who started to bet and they're starting to get very worried. >> hey, lori, it's dan assuming that we don't see a massive second wave in the virus that we continue to have the stimulus and things have generally calmed down as far as the streets in america, what do you think the biggest risk right now to just things continuing to kind of move forward is it high unemployment in the back half of this year, in the next year and what sort of unemployment rate should investors get comfortable with as we go into 2021
5:17 pm
that's a good question on the -- it's probably higher than what investors are anticipating i think frankly, the biggest risk will be the consumer themselves and what we heard, is are we going to see a second week of layoffs and we see companies have focused on cost-cutting and they're standing by employees trying to keep people employed and it's not clear that that's going to last just the emphasis on cost-cutting is going to be there and also companies have higher costs that they've got to manage against they have to balance against because all these things that you have to do to keep your employers safe and your workers safe that's going to create incremental pressures. so we think markets are basically anticipating the perfect v-shaped recovery and everyone gets back to normal in the third quarter, and the jobs mostly come back and even if it happens it's in the stocks now
5:18 pm
so we've seen markets aren't reacting and they came in worse than expected and the data was better than expected i don't think the setup here is necessarily for the data to come in better than expected anymore. >> lori, thank you great to see you >> lori, rbc guy adamy and of course, tomorrow is the big jobs report. >> sure it is. all over the map and quite frankly, if you told me what the numbers would be right now i think i have a 50/50 shot in understanding where the marks are and i don't think we have any edge whatsoever because quite frankly, i don't know what's a good number and what's a bad number what i will say is this, 2750 is where i thought the s&p would stop on the upside on the 2800 level so i understand where she's getting that, number one, number two, she brings up valuations and i do think valuations matter and right now even if i assume it, it's 24
5:19 pm
times and who knows what it will look like next year and to your point that you've made about pay cuts and layoffs nobody wants to say it and i'm not sure any ceos want to say it right now in this environment, but behind closed doors you can rest assured that they're talking about how do we reduce head count and how do we reduce compensation that's absolutely going on and nobody can tell me otherwise none of that, by the way is particularly bullish. >> coming up, a billionaire brawl. elon musk taking on jeff bezos and why musk is saying it is prime time for an amazon breakup and an all-time high and wlle' tell you what it is and what's behind this move "fast money" is back in two. for. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. i'm good at my condo. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.
5:22 pm
welcome back to "fast money. musk targeting jeff bezos. time to break up amazon. monopolies are wrong this after a noted skeptic who said amazon kindle didn't publish his unreported truths of covid and lockdowns because it did not comply with guidelines and there are a lot of layers to the story and the war of words it brings amazon squarely into the debate over whether platform had a role in filtering content and it highlights a rivalry on musk and bezos on space and amazon's investment, and dan, i know you flagged this to me as soon as it hit what was your first reaction here >> well, pretty interesting. musk has had a lot to say about covid and he's had a lot to say about the lockdowns and he's had a lot to say about space, and so you know, at the end of the day i just kind of find it funny that he's pointing fingers here. i think jeff bezos is widely
5:23 pm
viewed as one of the most innovative ceos the world's ever seen i think musk would be very happy with that title some day in the future i guess the issue i would say for amazon is not as much about a breakup. it's really what vice president biden said to andrew ross sorkin a few weeks ago on cnbc about taxes and this is a company that in q-1 had $75 billion in sales and had $2.5 billion in net income and they talked about having increased costs >> i think we're having problems with dan's feed here we'll go over to careen and get your thoughts. the other interesting dichotomy between these two billionaires is that elon musk is viewed very favorably by the president he is called the thomas edison of our times and spacex has a contract with nasa and on the flip side, jeff bezos is target left and right for president
5:24 pm
trump. >> yeah. that's exactly what i was thinking it's sort of fun they elon musk is able to walk the line of being in the president's good graces and yet having probably a workforce that isn't so pro-trump. that would be my guess i don't know as you said, jeff bezos and "the washington post," clearly the president doesn't like him so i wonder does a tweet from elon musk to not directly, but to the, you know, the tweeter in chief, does that have any -- does that have any pull, can he get something done i don't know if you like amazon i wouldn't sell it over this. >> tim >> interesting he wasn't tweeting about his own company i do think you have a case when we saw this when tesla was basically fighting the system to get open in california or move
5:25 pm
out. it did seem like there was an implicit endorsement from washington and there was cover we've seen this over and over. remember the president's interview with joe kernen at davos. so there is some sense that there are factions that are being put to work here amazon being split up is not a new concept. to the extent that there are anticompetitive pressure out there and has been for a long time and amazon has run for a long time not for profit let's be clear they were running for scale and fulfillment and logistics and erp and pushing people out of business >> so i can see both sides i love it as a consumer and i think there's a lot of reason to be frustrated by amazon and feels like there needs to be a little bit of a push out there >> guy >> it's very interesting i'm glad tim brought up that davos interview. i encourage people to go back
5:26 pm
and listen specifically to what the president said about elon musk and tesla because you can draw your own conclusions, but factually, the stock has done nothing, but gone up since and elon musk is talking and tweeting right now like he has air cover. maybe he does. he's doing things now that lead me to believe he feels he's impervious. >> uh-oh >> and that obviously all goes well for tesla, but i think amazon is the place to be. >> wait, are you saying that with sarcasm >> no. no, i'm not. >> he feels that there's cover and that gives him a longer leash to tweet something stupid that gets him in trouble >> which he has done and it doesn't seem to matter for the stock. didn't he say the stock was too expensive? that lasted about two and a half days and it's right back so, look, it's interesting to watch this all play out and again, i encourage people to go back and listen to that
5:27 pm
interview. it's fascinating some of the things that were said in retrospect >> all right coming up, airline stocks soaring for a second straight day, but when will travelers truly feel comfortable getting back on a plane? the surprising new numbers you've got to hear later, what's in a name? why the zoom boom is leaving investors scratching their heads.

5:30 pm
comeback ahead and the group flying high today on a positive outlook and our next guest is where the passengers are on the friendly skies sheila kayalu. >> thank you, melissa, for having me. this was a survey of 1500 consumers as well as china and what did you find? i'm curious about their appetite for flying and given the airlines seem to be adding capacity so quickly? >> we found that 55% of consumers don't want to fly for the next six months. 21% don't see themselves flying for the next 12 months what is more interesting is chinese consumers are ready to fly. over 60% said they want to fly in the next three months and that makes sense because chinese traffic has reopened and their way out of this versus us. we've conducted another survey where we are tracking real time air traffic and scheduled flights and what we're seeing in
5:31 pm
china right now is chinese domestic traffic is down 1% year over year. very close to normal whereas international traffic in china is down 94% still. so you're seeing that recovery and what else? another thing our survey found is that folks want to travel domestic and wa domestic and not international any time soon. >> that's great for china and the chinese consumer are you raising this for the blueprint that we will have in the economy of the united states. >> it is a blueprint for what we will see in the u.s. people feel more comfortable going to a restaurant. they feel more comfortable seeing friends and they'll get back in the air. i think domestic will come back first and that's why from our aerospace manufacturing standpoint, we are more supportive of narrow body production rates versus international traffic and the larger bodies. >> in terms of the airlines providing the domestic travel, what sorts of airlines is it going to be the large carriers that depend on having a
5:32 pm
hub where you have to transfer or is it a point to point sort of airline >> the u.s. airlines are pretty well diversified when you look at delta and united in terms of their international traffic. >> i think what we're also seeing is the type of aircraft that they'll use will be newer aircraft and they'll keep their a350s and their 787s and retire the a-380s and the 777s and 747s >> just quickly, when you hear of the airline's intentions to add capacity, sheila, over the summer, does that jive with what you learned from the survey in your data points and granted, the airlines are operating at just partial capacity so maybe they have to add the capacity, but how does that line up? >> sure. exactly. we're seeing that right now. in fact, yesterday the international air transport association came up with a global figure where they're seeing traffic it was down 82% for april.
5:33 pm
our survey says where we're tracking scheduled flights it is down 87% in may. we think we saw the worst of it the week of may 18th so that was the bottom and we are tracking traffic down 83% and that is directly with doug parker's products in terms of capacity >> sheila, great to speak with you, thank you >> sheila of jefferies tim seymour. you are in the airlines. pretty hopeful what sheila tuesday are said. >> yeah. to me it's always been a question of of timing. i feel strongly about this for myself and the problem is that a lot of airlines don't have runway and as we've seen some expedited coming back to work, but listen to what delta announced. they talked about their employees and the deal they have with qwest diagnostics and the
5:34 pm
mayo clinic and the number of flights in july will be two times the number of that in may and they told you that the middle seats will be there and the first-class capacity is 50%. this is all about getting people more comfortable and doing something to begin to put capacity online and you can idle a lot of capacity and it's different than the production line and you can bring it back on pretty quickly. the move in the airlines has been 45% and greater than the entire market over the last 13 days and to be clear and i was bullish when this happened and they underperformed the market so they weren't a great trade into it and they've now been an extraordinary trade and there's a lot of confidence that this timing issue has been overcome >> guy, just quickly on american airlines >> i'm curious, this huge 41 move and 31% of shares are short. so this is sort of a coiled spring and american airlines just got their credit rating cut yesterday to deeper into junk
5:35 pm
territory. >> no, it's interesting. again, good for tim. absolutely and i'll talk about american i remember the day, may 14th the day they said from 14,000 to 7,000 pilots and that stock closed higher that day and we've been basically on it ever since and last night we said $31 is what it's up to and pull the rip cord you go back and look at delta specifically that stock bounced in mid-march up to 32 and failed again to the 17.5 and 18 level. in terms of american and the big short interest in this environment is not particularly healthy, but you're probably getting squeezed and you have seen the capitulation. i would say if you enjoyed this bounce and you caught it, there's zero wrong with taking off the table and warren buffett didn't get stupid overnight if you recall he liquidated his positions and the thought process is very
5:36 pm
sound. >> coming up, slack getting whacked when investors are logging off on the ultimate work from home play and unusual options actityn vi itiffany. we'll tell you if they're seeing deal danger. "fast money" is back after this. helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer great sleep comes naturally with sleep3. only from nature's bounty.
5:38 pm
welcome back to "fast money. we have an earnings alerts and we have full-team coverage and courtney reagan standing by at the gap and restoration hardware and we'll start with deirdre bosa >> that earnings call is under way and he started saying that amazon has licensed slack for all of its employees and amazon is the second largest private employer in the country with nearly 850,000 employees
5:39 pm
that announcement, however, has not been enough to stem losses that we have seen in extended those shares are down more than 16% and investors knew that slack's user growth is surging in the pandemic, but what we learned today is that hasn't translated in the similar surge in the bottom or top lines and revenue grew 50% year over year compared to 59% year over year given those lofty expectations and the enormous run-up in share price this year and compare that to another hot, very popular work from home play, zoom, which earlier this week said that its revenue surged 170% last quarter and more than doubled its earnings guidance. butterfield is trying to address the big question of sustainability around all these work from home plays as the economy reopens. he said that unlike many other
5:40 pm
videoconferencing platforms and he mentioned microsoft teams and google hangout, he said it's not a digital substitute for in-person meetings and quote, a persistent play. melissa will be on squawk box tomorrow morning so don't miss that >> deirdre bosa on slack dan nathan, he will work from home boost can last? >> no doubt about it i think some of the changes that have been implemented over the last few months are here to stay as far as the stock's concerned, this is an example of trader on trader crime this stock is trading basically where it was a week ago so it had that run-up from $31 to nearly $40 in less than ten trading days and expectations were really high this is a company that's growing sales year over year, and on an adjusted basis i've been make the case about slack in the mid-20s that slack
5:41 pm
is very cheap relative to zoom and the ceo butterfield made the case why they're a very, very different offering and i like slack down here in the low 30s >> let's get to two other big names and gap is making moves in the after-hours. hi, court. >> hi, melissa, gap shares have been whipped around a lot and they're up 6% and we are up 52% in a month and up 27% in a week so they've had quite a run here and think, unprecedented closures revenue falling worse than expected and it is aing it doesn't make any sense in this quarter because of the closures and if you look at the gap brand down globally, about 50%, banana republic, not much better did down 47% and athletta faring the
5:42 pm
best online sales were strong and up 40% in the month of april and 100% in may and on-line sales are just about a quarter of gap's total as of this fiscal year and it's not enough to make up the difference from the store closures and gap putting up a gross margin of just 12.7% then if we can switch gears and look at rh here. this is an interesting one because stores also closed and nevertheless, they were able to beat con sense with us earnings and revenue and even with the closed stores and restaurants and continued acceleration in may. the furniture seller pointing out what it called significantly higher product margins and says it's optimist take those trends will continue to improve with the reopenings about 74% of the galleries are re-opened. >> these are up about 75% in one
5:43 pm
month's time so quite a run for rh leading back to these results. >> did they address the rent, the simon property rent issue? >> exactly just to remind our viewers simon property sued the gap for $66 million in rents they owed gap said yeah, we suspended rent payments in april and they are working with all of their landlords to come to a mutually agreeable situation for each of these, but they are leaving the door open to see if they can use this opportunity to talk about concessions, talk about maybe some rent abatement and a co-tenancy to try to make this better and what's interesting is they did accrue the rent expense in the quarter even though they didn't actually pay it so that could end up getting charged as they go forward, as
5:44 pm
they figure out how much rent they owe and if they'll pay. >> karen, you're digging in on the rent issue. >> right i think when they decide how much they owe. i think simon pretty well knows how much they owe. i don't know if simon is only one of the landlords, i would imagine. this is interesting to me especially because they did raise a fair amount of money early in the crisis and they drew down a resolver and a debt deal in terms of liquidity they probably would be able to pay. it's an interesting tactic i think, you know, maybe they'll get some relief there. all that having been said, though, those numbers are terrible the online improved and it still has far away to go and the thing that was most interesting to me is how vastly different athletta was from gap, navy and banana
5:45 pm
