and a new study from the cdc suggests that keeping the middle seat vacant on planes can lead to a 57% reduction of passengers exposed to covid although i don't know how many cases have been traced to airlines. nearly every airline now allows middle seats to be filled. delta airlines' policy expires in june. i have flown a number of times in the last nine months. joining us with the preview of delta airlines results is sheila, the aerospace and depends analyst at jefferys. good to see you back here. i like to look at the tsa numbers. i want to see the don't fly. it's not safe. 30 days in a row now we have seen more than 1 million people get on a plane. most days, 1.5 million to 1.8

million. still down from last year. let's be clear domestically, there is a lot of people getting on a plane right now. >> that's correct, brian what we are seeing globally. international travel is where we see it down 80%. it is interesting to see what delta airlines says today regarding what they are seeing on traffic america came out saying they expect international traffic to be 80% back to 2019 levels by the summertime we think is quite an aggressive statement. >> the problem is, as much as we all may fly from new york to miami or to texas where people are living, pretty normal lives. what we are not doing is going to tokyo we are not going to paris. how much of the super profitable international routes is the

issue? i'm surprised, sheila, the stocks have doubled. i get the bankruptcy risk is gone for a lot of the companies. nobody is talking about international travel >> the preview i'm looking for is one, have they been able to maintain it? delta airlines is the only one to maintain it the premium carrier blocking the middle seat. what are they seeing on international bookings we are not seeing it keep in mind american is 45% exposed. delta is lower than that with the exposure those are two data points we are looking to see what delta is seeing pricing and international. >> okay. pricing and international. pricing.

let's talk about p tthat, sheila i made a comment in december last year. if you are going to travel, book early. we have seen that a couple of weeks ago. i'm looking around the christmas holidays got sticker shock. is it going to be a case with fewer planes in the sky because they are nervous to put a lot of planes back on to the seats to hot destinations, they will have pricing power. how does that balance out? >> we're going to see how it plays out. not necessarily the case 30% of the fleet is still parked that number is under 10% if the market comes back, do the airlines act rationally? american, for example, flying wide bodies and 777s down to

miami and puerto rico. will they flood the markets and pricing crash? delta has been a rational carrier. they have good corporate exposure based in the u.s. and market share in atlanta. that is another data point >> sheila, any airline stock you love right now >> we love love. that's easy. we like love for a few reasons domestic is 95%. the airline exposure to corporate is on the edge united might see trouble and a lag in the market coming back. and third, cap is cleaned up one they have a $5 billion cap number out there and once they get through that, it's cash

return for shareholders. >> you think that was an accident the love love? that was not an accident. >> no. you have been on point this morning. >> it's amazing with no sleep. i'm showing your love love some love southwest airline. sheila, always a pleasure. thank you. >> thanks. you're welcome speaking of ed bastian will be on at 9:00 a.m probably talk about georgia and the voting thing as well lots to talk about with the ceo of delta airlines. ed bastian talking about voting rights for all. coming up, why the next guest says coinbase may not actually be the netflix of crypto, but maybe the blockbuster video of bitcoin michael casey is here. we're back in a moment

green bonds give investors an opportunity not just to get a good return, but also to do good with their money as well. ♪ ♪ green bonds are like any other traditional bond, but they come with a commitment from the company to invest in specific projects that achieve an environmental or social outcome.

when the green bond market first started back in 2007, 2008, they were small retail-targeted transactions. now, it's over 200 billion dollars a year in issuance. we've seen a full spectrum of projects being supported by green and sustainability bond transactions. everything from more energy- efficient ice cream cabinets, to better forestry and farming, through to developing affordable and social housing. the bond market is a natural home for sustainability. buying green bonds is not just doing good, it's good business. i am navindu katugampola and we are morgan stanley. lately, it's been hard to think about the future. it's good business. but thinking about the future, is human nature. at edward jones, our 19,000 financial advisors

create personalized investment strategies to help you get back to your future. edward jones. welcome back we have an earning alert on bank of america i want to couch this and say this is unusual. the bank of america numbers were not due to come out for not quite another hour 6:45 a.m. eastern time they appear to have been leaked early or put out by the company

early. the numbers have been put up on other networks they are online and shared wildly by real companies bangk of america's numbers are out early. let me read them numbers well ahead of expectations we are seeing about 86 cents from the numbers which is 66 is what was expected. 86 versus 66 a blowout on the epf side. these were put up on other networks and circulated online by real companies. we assume these numbers are accurate revenue $22.8 billion. that is $100 million than expected revenue better than expected trading revenue blowout. according to reports online, 5.68 billion 4.37 was the estimate of the

averages estimate circulated bank of america members appear to have dropped early. 20 cents beat. a beat on revenue by $100 million. a beat on trading revenue by $70 million. a bit of a mystery why they came out early. those are the numbers that are widely circulated and stock is reacting in the pre-market no doubt, more on the actual numbers and maybe why they appear to have been leaked or dropped early. maybe following in goldman's footsteps with the blowout numbers. all of the numbers are well above estimates. we'll dig into that. let's dig into this. coinbase up in the pre-market after the direct listing yesterday and public equity market debut the stock surging past the reference price. up $250 a share to $429 in less

than ten minutes stock finally ended the day below $330 soared and came back to earth and well above the so-called reference price. coinbase is now the biggest publicly traded exchange, i believe. bigger than waste management and twitter and kraft heinz. joining us now is michael casey. michael, good morning. good to see you. what do you make of the wild debut? what are people talking about over coinbase on the all important day two? >> thanks for having me. the wild debut is not that unusual for something that is, you know, unpredictable. people are trying to find the price. it reflects the fact that wall street will have to struggle to figure out what this thing is. you referred to it as an exchange the crypto world calls it an

exchange it is nothing like the extraex traditional stock when it goes to pricing it is fair to say there is not a great deal of broad knowledge of crypto it is a different way of thinking about the world you have investors who struggle to figure out how to value this thing and that will bring volatility not just yesterday, but a volatile price for some time it is an inherently cyclical stock or tied to alternative asset which bitcoin is as well a lot of things to move this round. >> what are people watching, michael, going forward the issue is if crypto prices crash or come down, do we expect trading volume and interest to dry up can it survive in a bear or a b

bull not survive, but thrive. >> pretty safe in terms of the cash cushion for survival. coinbase is used to this as is every other exchange in the space. revenues are very much tied or at least the performance is tied to where the price of bitcoin or other coins are. they came in as well that is a factor i think the biggest thing to watch is what happens to competition in the space not to say as well that is an immediate threat you know, you mentioned during break that it may be a blockbuster. we don't know where it stands. the real competitive challenge, i argue, for coinbase is decentralizing the exchange. no need to have a central body custodian. this is a thriving new area.

coinbase is aware of this. can they meet that challenge the general public loves the convenience of the central custodial approach that coinbase is taking. we are early days in the marketplac marketplace. if others come in and compete, the growing pie of a global marketplace for crypto is inevitably going to bring in impressive growth for coinbase and competitors. the big question is a few years down the road with the technology evolved into something else, can coinbase keep up? >> that will be the question we will watch the stock. it is up in the pre-market of course, a lot of the lesser knowns cryptos, michael, is getting attention. not just dogecoin. michael casey of coindesk.

thank you. >> thanks for having me. on deck, stocks continue to power higher april showers? make it rain in may. either way, dow futures are up 125 points federated hermes will layout the big tlhreat to the market that i looming t the.ouer things are good, but there is something you need to watch. we'll tell you what that is coming up.

will approve that. either way, a free paid trip to wherever you want to go is a start. i ask you, folks, is that a trade you would take those kinds of hours for a free luxe vacation and a big paycheck, of course. free trips random, but interesting. we will see if any other company follows. houlihan lokey's lead. markets gather up for another big day of earnings. the senior portfolio manager and head of the value income team at federated hermes linda, pleasure to have you back on we had weirdness bank of america's earnings leaked early they flashed on the screen and they are on the web. if they are accurate and no reason to believe they are not they are blowout goldman destroyed their numbers

important. >> by the way, linda, that release is confirmed as well somebody put it on the facts too early. the numbers are confirmed. your buyback point is a big one. i know you like the value names and cyclical names buybacks could be huge in the next couple months and quarters. >> absolutely. these companies are flush with cash they have strong balance sheets. you know, the consumer is also buying they have a strong balance sheet. demand is strong inventory is low we do picture the companies to have very strong earnings and cash flows buybacks are a big part of the market especially if we see tax increases on dividends and capital gains. >> tax increases, you may have buyback come in. more money li linda, pleasure to have you on
