whisper numbers 80% year over year remember, gone, now back again underestimating actual numbers and anticipating really huge numbers coming in. so far they've been right. look at earnings beats today as percentage of the earnings fees by companies reported. goldman sachs, look at these numbers here 47% above. jpmorgan, 18 pepsico, 12% these are big beats. typically beat 3% to 5%. almost 20% beats for a long time now. typical for a typical company. earlier companies, companies that reported a few weeks ago also had great numbers kroger, costco, oracle the only one wasn't a big beat, fedex. they never traded above its report that day. june 24th. below that ever since. there's an indication, if you don't have a significant beat
9:46 am
coming in, you're not going to go anywhere for at least several weeks here meantime, the other big issue, higher costs heard comments today from fastenal raised prices, combating higher costs conagra, unusual, cut its full year guidance on higher costs. a big issue. haven't seen that in a long time instituting price hikes lagging cost increases as a result and going into a new fiscal year, and as a result, their numbers will be lagging, because they can't raise the prices fast enough to account for the higher cost in terms of the earnings numbers, even now you see great earnings numbers from goldman. not much reaction. same with jpmorgan pepsico -- up a little bit here. that's a new high. 152. yeah should be a new high for pepsico and conagra, of course, the one that actually instituted the decline in earnings guidance overall. you see here

10:02 am
by the hacking group which has been linked to russia in the dark web they use these sites to communicate with their victims to publicize some of the material that they've stolen all of those now are down, we are today, by two high-ranking cyber security officials here what you see if you try to go to an revil site says a server with a specified host name could not be found. try again. that saul of the information we have right now we don't know exactly why these sites are down we don't know exactly when this event began. although all of the sites have been active recently what we do know is that president biden spoke to vladimir putin last week about cyber security and some of the ransomware attacks that have been hitting american companies and we do know that a senior administration official said this last week about the expectation that united states might strike back. a senior administration official saying, some of them, that is, the activities that the united states will take will be manifest and visible
10:03 am
some of them may not but we expect those to take place, you know in the days and weeks ahead. so this statement from a senior administration official about activity from the united states expected to take place last friday today, today is a couple days later than that. so it's possible what we're looking at here is a u.s. retaliation. but that's not certain it's also possible that he there's russian law enforcement activity and also possible that r evil itself simply decided to go to ground. we'll wait to hear more explanation from the house and other officials we talk to for now, revil sites on the web now down >> eamon thank you, eamon javers earnings season getting under way, jpmorgan reporting their earning. wilfred frost has more >> jp mamorgan beat on both lin with a release of $3 billion capital markets a key area for

good shape probably six months behind america. so growth can go into next year and, you know, the ten-year bond goes to 3% growth, short rate goes -- it won't make any difference. as long as there's growth, consumer, jobs wages, those are all good things. obviously, the inflation can be worse than people think. i think it's a little worse than what the fed thinks. but that doesn't matter if we have growth. >> and we will discuss all of this including returning to the office from goldman sachs office with their chairman and ceo david solomon today 3:00 on "closing bell. carl >> we cannot wait for that, if we see you then if not before. wilfred frost. director of financial institutions steven bigger steven, good to see you.
10:06 am
>> mark. morning. >> with the trading, advisories, feets, which of the two big stories today is most interesting and why? >> well, i think the strength in capital markets, you know, clearly has lingered on thank you than most expected can that continue into the third and fourth quarters, we'll see the pipelines look pretty decent here so probably will. so i think that's, you know, just the broad strength of capital market has just been phenomenal for banks for the past four quarters now so, i think that continues you know, the reserve release, it's obviously very difficult to, you know, forecast what these banks are going to come out with you know, safe to say that very much over reserve last year in the first half they're going to trick that out. stellar environment, quality environment i think is as much of a story here, and if that continues it will also be a, you
10:07 am
know, nice tailwind for earnings going forward as well. >> so, do you think that the recent underperformance of banks relative to the broader market gets reversed in q3? >> i think so, you know, they get so lumped into being intrasensitive, clearly that is one lever for the banks but they have many other levers, particularly large banks you know, when you get a bit of a pullback like this i think it's more of a buying opportunity. we may have a perfoause in the performance. the comments from bank management on loan growth, whether the interest rate environment, you know, is going to be -- turning into a tailwind in the second half, we'll see. but i think, you know, the direction of rates is higher that's beneficial to banks and they have another, you know, few others that make the financials a good place to be right now. >> what is your expectation for the prospects for loan growth?
10:08 am
and do you have any read-through based on what you saw for today's reports for the other banks that are set to report this week? >> well, encouraging strength in credit card and auto lending in particular, you know, these are, probably the first areas we'll see, you know, they're somewhat smaller ticket items you know, as the expectation for -- for some of the stimulus is rolling off, for example, job growth is very strong. the unemployment enhanced benefits will roll off in september. you know, customers, consumers in particular have been flushed with cash. they haven't had to go to the bank for lending but i think as the travel and related continues to improve, we'll see better loan growth in the second half. and again based on the rolloff from the stimulus measures as well >> finally, one of the flasheads out of dimon's call was jpmorgan
10:09 am
will weather fintech competition. have you seen any more gran you layerty in exactly how the banks are going to do that >> well, not really. he did address the question and they're making a lot of spot or fill-in acquisitions it's been a, you know, a bit disappointing that banks given their knowledge of the space, you know, that they've been reluctant to make larger acquisitions and sort of change the landscape and the playing field. they certainly, you know, invest an awful lot of technology today just to keep up. so, it's been a bit of a disappointment in my view that they haven't been more to counteract that. but, you know, that could change and based on some of these many acquisitions that they've made, i think we'll see, you know, at least the playing field getting a little more level going forward. >> yeah, definitely starting to dip their toe in the water well, it's always a starting gun for our viewers.
10:10 am
on earnings season and today is an important day, stephen. steven biggar. boeing facing a new 787 dreamliner our phil lebeau has it what is it this time, phil >> leslie, it's the part of the plane that they're inspecting. boeing, what we're seeing is a cut of production guidance as of now, the company building about five dreamliners a month they're bringing that down, not all the way to zero, but they are bringing that down at least several weeks as they reposition some workers working on inspecting and potentially doing re-work, on a plane -- many planes that are builtand are i inventory. here's the issue, they're going to be inspecting and reworking the part of the dreamliner known as the forward pressure bulkhead
10:11 am
in the front of the plane. this is one that doesn't age it deals with that and how the planes are built in boeing planes that are built but not yet delivered that need to be checked. what about the dreamliners, hundreds of them pflying around the world, are they okay we talked to the faa they don't believe this is a flight safety risk they could change their tune in the terms of inspections but those planes continue to fly for the faa and boeing this is continuing to be what we've seen for several months a discussion about manufacturing quality and inspection of dreamliners. that's why we do take a look at shares of boeing, what concerns wall street is that they continue to have this problem where it comes to the faa and boeing so, as they try to work this out, it's unclear how long this will take, but in the meantime, they are going to be cutting
10:12 am
their production of the 787 dreamliner from five months down to a lower number. and fewer than half, fewer than half, of the 100 crime liners that have been built but not yet delivered, fewer than half of those will be delivered this year so whether or not we see a change in the company's guidance in terms for the rest of the year, we'll find out when the company reports its q2 numbers in a couple of weeks guys, back to you. >> okay, phil. investments looking closely at the debt side of that balance sheet as well. phil lebeau for us as we head to a quick break, here's a look at the road ma'am for the rest of the hour including ceo largest investments girl, cbre and the latest spac deals. and plus, crypto facing a slump dropping more than 40% in the last month and virgin galactic going down again following yesterday's

10:16 am
look for a partner going public. is cbre going to enhance the possibly to put your solar cells on perhaps more buildings which might have been the case with another spac >> yes, definitely are we considered the alternative of a traditional ipo. once cbre reached out to us this year, the magnitude of the 7.2 billion that cbre manages was incredible and it was love at first sight once we feirst met them and we'r very excited >> bob, i'm curious with the buildings that you manage, what percentage at this point actually have solar panels and how often is the conversation happening these days where at least they're considering doing along those lines, to lower their carbon footprint, for example >> well, that question gets to the heart of the opportunity here relatively low percentage of
10:17 am
those buildings have solar power today. but a relatively high percentage of the owners and occupiers of those building are looking for help in the area of sustainability, green energy, carbon knew neutrality one of our real objectives with this spac was to find a company that we could combine with that would help to serve our clients that was positioned such that could help them grow and positioned also with secular tailwinds. we think altus is percent for that and help cbre grow. >> i want to learn how it will help you grow and how it will work but i also want to come back to incentives here because there's been criticism and rightly so for spacs, in part because the sponsor's incentives aren't in line
10:18 am
you say you are incentivized, bob. what is it about this spac from others that makes you point that out in your investment presentation >> our spac is structured differently than virtually all other spacs. there's only a very small handful that have a structure written we only share in the promote. we only get our interest in the publicly traded company, agency the value of the spac or the value of the company goes up 10% above what the ipo price of the spac was and then grows from there. so, we are very aligned with our shareholders that's something that we wanted from the outset. we wanted that kind of dynamic we don't expect this to be the only spac. we want this to be a proud sponsor of the companies we invest with us >> and i'm looking in part to your revenue estimates going out to 336 million
10:19 am
you also say the proceeds from the transactions, i think our viewers have seen them, we put it up on your screen are going to fully fund your forecast in growth you're not going to need to raise any more equity? >> no, we don't think. about one half of energy made, and california has 100% of its energy coming from the sun and wind power and so this is significant growth that's going to happen. we had benefits of being sponsored by blackstone for seven years now. we had blackstone and cbre basic, all of their customers are looking for ways to power their businesses and activities with renewable energy. it's a very real thing happening now. it takes the buildings and parking lots that these buildings occupy and turns them into solar generation. >> and you become a distributed
10:20 am
power supply or you already are, because this business is already in existence. but are there any impet ddiment? we already about road blocks are there things that need to be overcome >> absolutely. a great question one of the interesting things we get from cbre is massive amounts of data. and they have data on consumption of energy from elevators, hvac equipment and buildings. when you take the solar that they have now, in the near future, we're going to be able to combine it with energy stora storage and we're ultimately connecting buildings with others and that becomes a smart grid. we're not there yet but that's ultimately where we're coming. >> bob, coming back to cbre, you
10:21 am
held that out, is that a new significant generator? not necessarily for the spac you've launched, but for the company itself >> this is going to be a very nice tool in our toolkit to serve our clients, something they really want so, of course, when we can come at them with solutions that are lined up with their desires, in this case, green energy sustainability which they're all pushing for us and others to help them with, it's definitely going to help grow our business. this is the kind of thing we're looking for strategically to interest in. >> lawrence, the price of solar installations has been coming down quite significantly over the last decade or so. is that a helpful aspect for your business? are you able to operate at scale, given some of price declines? and what are your expectations for the price of solar installations moving forward >> absolutely. we've both gotten much better at
10:22 am
building and constructing the systems but the equipment has gotten cheaper as well solar panels have come down about 90% in terms of cost in the last decade. really the important thing for altus and other companies in this space to be competitive with great power. of course, all of our contracts with 200 customers and counting sell power and it's easier to buy tell cheaper and that's a beneficial thing. >> and, bob, finally to come back to you on something we talked to you in the past, it does appear to be becoming clearer that a lot of companies are not going back to having people in the office full time i think hybrid appears to stay i'm curious what you're seeing from your portfolio and tenants and what your expectations are are we ever going to see the office buildings repurposed beyond putting solar panels on them >> well, we've seen an interesting dynamic.
10:23 am
for sure, companies are go to be using a hybrid approach, back in the office, some at home this is not a new theme that we're discussing here. i believe things are going to settle in at 80%, 85%. we'll get real evidence after labor day. but i still think that's going to settle in what we're seeing in the market place, though, the best office building with great hvac systems and elevator systems and the ability to move around the building efficiently, those buildings are becoming a real area of focus. and value. some antiquated stock will be repurposed potentially, or go out of use but a lot of interesting use are going to be happening in the go back to the office scenario between now and year end >> all right you have no plans to do another spac or is this the only one you're going to do as a corporation >> oh, this is a big part of our strategy, to sponsor companies
10:24 am
that we think can help us serve our clients and we can help them succeed. some will be through spacs we expect more spacs and several other deals that we mentioned a couple months ago with industrious. this is part of what we should be watching with cbre going forward. >> gentlemen, appreciate it. an all-time high on the nasdaq a few moments ago which is up almost now 17% for the year outpacing the s&p. in fact, take a look at the top gainers at the nasdaq 100 right now. china names getting a bounce back and pei,ps with the revenue up 13 year on year. we'll be right back. that needs to change. so, i did something. i created a black business accelerator at amazon. and now we have a program that's dedicated to making tomorrow a better day for black businesses.

10:34 am
>> thanks for having me on >> general viewers, at least on the china front, they're doing this crackdown for three sort of similar yet disparate trends can you explain? >> yeah, from president xi and the chinese state wanted to rein in the tech titans who are seeing as potential too powerful and then the second and kind of related is that of sovereignty, that we've seen not just china, but really every country, united states, the eu, india, realizing, albeit late, the value of data. and taking steps to make sure that they have -- they have access to data and also that rival countries don't have access to sensitive data so i think when in the case of data, the idea that a company has sensitive information about where chinese stipulates are traveling at various times and
10:35 am
various places, the concern that could somehow be exposed to u.s. investors and regulators is a very big concern to the chinese government >> general view, i think, this is kind of a shot across the bow for them >> yes >> and for some degree, they're not going to kill their golden geese. but how do we know when they feel enough is enough? >> well, that's the tough question, right? i mean it is kind of two conflicting trends, the chinese government, in their china 2025 plan has put a lot of emphasis into building and supporting a tech sector that can rival the united states. but at the same time, they don't want that sector to become so powerful and those kind of titans of tech can be so powerful to rival the chinese government so you do see a little conflict there. in this instance china apparently believed that the harm that chinese tech companies might feel in terms of raising
10:36 am
capital from this sort of erratic action was more in order to remind the titans of tech that they're chinese citizens first and businessmen second >> kellen, you bring up a good point about capital raising because it does seem that all of these crackdowns come either right before, during, right after a potential listing. what is it about an ipo in particular that seems to be kind of triggering these crackdowns from the chinese government? is it a sense, as you mentioned these companies have made it, they're listing or about to be publicly traded companies, is that something that we can look at for potential chinese listings in the future >> yeah. so, it's a little perplexing, the stated reasons, the stated concerns is data security but the chinese cyberspace administration is worried somehow going public in the united states, a company like didi would be forced to turn over sensitive data.
10:37 am
it's certainly true in the united states there's transparency requirements, but that doesn't necessarily involve turning over sensitive data of who is taking a didi ride and where. so i think the concern is more when you have a company this powerful and controls this much data if it's going public in the united states, the chinese government's concern is they might coz up to ugg regulators into u.s. investors. and that might somehow compromise their royalty or data in some ways so the government wants to either be able to block or discourage these types o listings or make sure that the data securitywise are addressed before the company goes public in the case of didi in particular, the fact that they were reportedly warned and asked to delay the ipos and rush it forward really made them somewhat that the china state

wanted to make an example of it. because what china does not want is for its industry to feel like it can act on its own. >> finally, the state department has issued a business advisories on supply chains and telling individuals and businesses who don't exit that supply chain they could run a, quote, high risk of violating u.s. law i wonder, does that point to an ongoing point of escalation between u.s. and china on trade? >> absolutely. i think you saw very aggressive use of export controls under the trump administration and the biden administration is continuing to do that. and putting them towards their policy priorities. and one that is shared by the trump administration is concerned about the chinese abuse in the western provinces so i believe there is a warning that went out to mike pompeo in 2020 about essentially having these in the supply chain and we're seeing that escalation continue >> fascinating

10:43 am
major coins in a correction period for last two months and trading volume as the largest exchange is falling more than 40% in june alone. that's according to new data out of crypto compare. but despite the drop, june still ranks in the top five months ever after record volumes in may. here to discuss low ventures jill carlson jill, thank you for being here do you think it will find its footing in these levels? and what do we make of the big slump in trading volume? >> yeah, no, i think it has found its footing at these price levels we've been range bound for the last several weeks in 30k and 35k in bitcoin and still in the blue chip cryptocurrencies i would expect that to continue. you know, we've held these prices through a lot of bad news over the last several weeks. i think it would take a lot to substantially lower from here.
10:44 am
and i think trading volumes, similarly, as you pointed out in the opening just now, sure, it's a slump relative to the last six months but if anything, it just goes to show what an exception the last six months have been in terms of the volumes. but both exchanges and more broadly otc sets that we've seen >> there's kind of this trifecta of concerns that people are talking about right now. you've got a broader regulatory crackdown across the globe, really you've got environmental concerns and just an overall risk of appetite from more volatiles assets you mentioned it would take a lot to drive crypto down frurt here what is it that you're thinking could be a potential headwind for this area? >> yeah, so, one of the key things i'm keeping an eye on is how quickly miners are coming back online. you mentioned environmental meshes and regulatory. what's going on in china is sort
10:45 am
of an amalgam of both of those, where you have them cracking down on bitcoin miners and the factors there. that causes a lot of supply pressure within bitcoin specifically, right? miners having to liquidate their holding in order to fund themselves as kind of a cap here as they look to come back online that's kind of one of the key things i'm watching if they don't come back online as one might hope over the last several weeks that could cause continued supply pressure. within bitcoin, that could be the whole market >> on the flip side, what do you think is a nice balance for crypto overall especially with the current environment, summer, you got more people going back to the office is it possible as more people pay more attention after the summer that things could get
10:46 am
more volatile again? >> yeah. and i mean, this is a summer unlike any other, right? as people are coming out of their homes for the first time in a year and a half so, i think there is some level of, you know, just depressed volumes and distraction there as a whole. as you're saying, we're seeing this more broadly across markets. one thing i'm more excited about here is more public market activity that will allow investors who maybe couldn't access crypto in the past for the first time to have to start to pay attention to some of the data points around it. we have coinbase earnings in a couple weeks, that will be interesting to see how that goes given the depressed volumes. regardless of haw tow that goesa will cause people to go to that data point and circles back to the digital dollar, and that will cause investors to pay attention to
10:47 am
other areas of core infrastructure and products that we have in the space outside of bitcoin. and of course, we have renewed discussion of possibility maybe an etf coming down the pipeline. that could cause excitement as well >> so within kind of the full picture of this crypto ecosystem infrastructure, potential etf, of course, the individual coins themselves, where do you see the most opportunity, looking at the second half of the year? >> yeah. i'm watching, of course, bitcoin, i think is usually the first mover in an updraft. and it tends to be the last mover until a downdraft. so if i'm looking for kind of bullish signals, bitcoin is kind of the first thing i'm looking at but then i'm also keeping an eye on cryptocurrencies, specific coins that allow you to move away from the dependency, and again looking at this environmental narrative. you have qing things like chia
10:48 am
solana that move away from the nature of bitcoin. but then as i mentioned, the public market base i'm long on coinbase we'll see where that goes. that's a long-term decision for me and, yeah, i'm keeping an eye on some other comes to market publicly >> yeah, coinbase now about $100 a share since its public listing. >> don't remind me >> yes and so many others that you mentioned throughout the year. jill, thank you for joining us thank you. coming up on "tech check," do not miss an exclusive with san francisco fed presidenmat ry daley, at the top. hour s&p and currently settling down at half a point. stay with us

10:52 am
we ranked the states in ten categories of competitiveness. that means there is a top state in each category let's see how that shakes out our top states honor roll for 2021, in cost of doing of business, our most important category, it is oklahoma, which has the lowest electric rates in the country. in infrastructure, which this year includes, broadband and electric reliability, illinois is on top. for life, health and inclusion, it is vermont with the highest covid vaccination rate america's top workforce is texas, people are coming there in droves, particularly educated workers. idaho has the best economy including america's hottest housing market for business friendliness, that's legal system and regulatory climate, it is south dakota access to capital, no state comes close to california. and california also is on top for technology and innovation. massachusetts is number one for education. virginia, where i am is a close second and the lowest cost of living is
10:53 am
in mississippi interestingly, virginia, america's top state for business overall, did not come out number one in any category. though as i say it was number two for education. this is a game of points, 2500 total points and virginia had the most you can see where your state stacks up and all about our study at top states.cnbc.com guys >> how much did some of the recent trends play into this year's rankings? you mentioned that vermont, for example, has a high covid vaccination rate, illinois, i think it was, you know, was high on the list for sustainability how did some of the recent trends that we talk about with regard to business play a role here >> yeah, i mean, a good place to look is maryland, which is the most improved state in our study this year. we'll talk more about that later today. but we change the way we look at infrastructure, because everyone is changing that definition. we look at broadband, this year, which we haven't done in the
10:54 am
past we looked at the reliability of the electrical grid, both of which maryland does well with. they have done poorly in the past in terms of traditional infrastructure, roads and bridges. the fact they were modernizing that part of their system, that certainly helped them. that's one example of how this changing environment really changed the rankings this year >> fascinating, scott. and it is a joy to bring it back after the last year's interruption scott cohn with our top states for business scott, thanks. over to dom chu. >> stocks are mixed to start the day. the nasdaq and the s&p have both hit record intraday highs. the doi is in the red to start the day at least now, the technology sector is the best performer so far. while energy is among the worst performing sectors, down a percent or so, it is also the worst performing s&p sector over this past week and on a month to date frame as well now, among the laggards in that

10:58 am
companies are struggling to find workers a new survey shows it may get even tougher in the second half of the year. not such good news, rahel who is back to explain to us what's going on here. >> hi, leslie. one expert telling us that this is the most active labor market she has seen in her 25 years of experience the survey out this morning from talent solutions firm robert hack showing of nearly 3,000 senior managers a little more than half plan to fill new positions and a large number plan to fill vacant roles or bring back furloughed workers. on top of that, the number of americans quitting their jobs is also at an all time high it is creating a perfect storm >> employees are very confident in their ability to find a job when that's the case, they're
10:59 am
going to be more picky and choosy with the jobs they take and that's why you're seeing all these employers have to really showcase what their company has to offer, not only in salary and compensation, which is important, put professional growth and career growth and other perks and opportunities to try to attract that talent >> so what are employers doing according to that same research, about 48% of companies are providing signing bonuses, 43% are giving more paid time off, and 40% are offering better job title titles, but it is not all about the dollars and cents. workers are becoming increasingly more focused on things like company culture and values things like how does the company take care of employees in terms of mental health and wellness. also, employee and network resource groups and employers say that they're becoming more flexible about where a candidate lives and broadening their search geographically. there is also some wiggle room, depends on the job, in terms of qualification, such as advanced degree and years of experience
11:00 am
david? >> rahel, thank you. rahel solomon. before we head to a "techcheck," want to check the banks quickly. we started off at 9:00 discussing what seemed to be quite strong numbers from jpmorgan and goldman sachs but both names as you can see are in the red fairly significantly. nothing from either one of the conference calls that would seem to be a reason for that decline. that will do it for us on "squawk on the street. "techcheck" starts now happy tuesday. welcome to "techcheck. i'm jon fortt with carl quintanilla and deirdre bosa we're live outside the courthouse as elon musk's second day of testimony begins.
