3:02 pm
s&p 500 sitting almost exactly at a one-week high last wednesday closed just below 4600 i think 4595, thereabouts. also a trap door level from january 19th and 20th after the 5% pullback deepened into that concentrate the sell-off kind of an interesting spot to go in. a neutral place when going into the cpi number tomorrow or the market suggesting spent a lot of time and effort repricing bonds and everything else for an aggressive fed chikal and cpi didn't have as much market moving fopotential? we'll see. and across the world emerging markets outperforming s&p 500 on a year to date basis as well as developed markets overseas a bit of a switch. years of u.s. out performance. does suggest at least faintly that the fed is not seen as undermines emerging markets
3:03 pm
recovery currencies rallies nicely. in that positive category and asterisk here. u.s. utperformed largely because of massive faang-like stocks and they're under performers this year accounts for some of that difference getting disney earnings after the close. looks like the market is saying, hey, do we have profitless prosperity in entertainment and streaming here see what happened here to netflix, viacom as well as disney over the course of last six months compared to the overall market all struggling at this point obviously disney is a lot more than just the streaming business a lot more than just film entertainment. have to see how the market takes this idea that maybe there's a bit of maturity getting into the video streaming world. >> down for the year down last year mike, show the home builder, if we could a group that is so interest-rate sensitive. makes sense. rates go up, higher mortgage rates, versus the housing market the gripe almost went down 20%
3:04 pm
from highs and stabilized and firming up up 2%. is it a sign yields peeked at least worries about them peaked? >> short term, that's pretty fair a great ten-year treasury option today. showing there are buyers of ten-year paper below 2%, but, yes. mentioned pullback 20% look raley -- really cheap worth noting not broken down. sort of holding up with those levels extend back to most of this year. right here you know, basically preventing that breakdown below that first quarter 2021 level. >> mike, thank you see you soon. inflation certainly top of mind with january cpi data due our tomorrow morning this week top leaders and executiving striking an optimistic tone. >> inflation not get much worse
3:05 pm
and hoping transsblit a slow decline moving through the spring into the summer giving me comfort we're really headed in the right direction. >> good news is the new inflation peak we're seeing is primarily around materials i think the new inflation up that we've seen personally is much more transitory in nature. >> inflationary environment we know we have room to take price and other levers to pull in order to manage the pressure on inflation. >> we believe we saw plenty of pricing power to use at our discretion and we'll use it when we need to, but actually i prefer to keep our value proposition as strong as possible >> let's bring in sebastian paige head of global multidivision at t. rowe price what is the playbook around inflation? >> look, a lot that's priced in. you just heard commentators talk
3:06 pm
down inflation the forecast for tomorrow is 7.3. we're looking at two opposing forces with inflation. you just talked autos. energy i call covid distortions those are working themselves out. you can't get autos go up another 40%, 50% or energy go up another 40%, 50%, but then you have stickier inflation rearing its head in a i that is wage pressures and rent. tomorrow's numbers interesting from that perspective. >> take that thesy and extrapolate what it means for fed policy action and what is or not priced into the market already? >> you have at least five hikes now priced in. some are discussing possibility of 50 basis point hike i think that ultimately look 12 months out, which we tend to do
3:07 pm
as asset allocator the direction of rates is higher for us it means we're positioned long value stocks and, look, the fed has said they will be flexible, and it was initially interpreted flexible -- give themselves room to hike more, and be more aggressive, but it could also mean that the fed being flexible are ready to step back in the economy slows down more than expected. >> sebastien what is aggressive defense? once upon a time a large cap growth stock was aggressive defense and you're saying that's not going to be the case in 2022 >> yeah. i think we're seeing this year to date. now's the time to redefine defense. right? we all thought large mega cap growth stocks helps play defense in the portfolio that hasn't been the case year to date. spart the inflation picture and rising rates plus when i say playing aggressive defense, overall the
3:08 pm
market is pricing in a lot of valuations that are high corporate margins pretty high and wee withdrawing liquidity. on the margin reduced stocks allocation, in the by much rewee main diversified but playing defense but aggressive defense because under the hood we're actually long what we consider an underprice recovery trade. that includes value stocks and small cap stocks, for example. >> all in the allocation what do you increase wading towards decreasing slow to stop? >> sell out of stocks, these days we don't really like investment grade bonds we prefer a little bit of cash, and also bank loans. bank loans are interesting an asset class that really is asset class of choice when rates rise historically. actually made money 22 out of the last 23 years. it has relatively low default rates right now.
3:09 pm
and it gives you a yield of 4%, 5% similar to high yield bond with much less interest rate sensitivity and in fact a negative correlation with treasuries of minus 30%. where, again, around the theme of aggressive defense. >> sebastien, thank you. appreciate it. sebastien paige of t. rowe price. a huge afternoon of earnings, results from disney, uber marx tel and more and disney ceo inview, and after the break a big step towards prohibiting members of congress from trading stocks. speak with an expert who tracks the names of lawmakers buying and selling. you're watching "closing bell" on cnbc. we're hoping things will pick up by q3. yeah...uhhh...

3:16 pm
the '19. a difference something we're observing. >> are they any good are they good investors? i wonder, criticism is they are privy to information, the public is not tlmp should, not be allowed. has that worked for them >> we've observed performance measures, report on the web and multiple efforts in our view and we think these performance measures are slightly exaggerated we do not any they significantly do better that the markets nor worse. they are like any other investor some do well and others do not do as good as the market for even worse sometimes. >> some in particular, though, very good? do you see them make a trade and think, oh, i'm going to watch that stock because this spurn buying it and they have a good track record?
3:17 pm
>> well, we get reports of trades it's strong assumption, and these trades get delayed sometimes. we don't know. don't understand exactly when the politician traded. a report in the window that they most of the time exceed sometimes. you do not know when they actually traded. right away if there's a date on that and don't know the position, yes or no hard to accurately measure performance on an individual level. >> most favorite congressional stock? is there one >> can you repeat? >> what's the most favorite stock that members of congress own? >> microsoft what we've observed over the last year and favorite, favorites are the bank stocks. for republicans more energy stocks. >> not unlike the general investing public very interesting thank you for joining us

3:25 pm
fabricated data within them? >> reporter: yeah. from my understanding, going to use the same application that they got the drug approved with in china to then file here in the united states. i don't know the balance between lilly and its partner who designed that. appears to be one issue. another big issue richard pastor told the journal is the question of, is chinese data applicable to the u.s. population but they're also worried about design of the trials, and also just the sort of integrity of the trials that's raised as well. a lot of questions potentially raising tensions and the question about being able to bring more drugs to market at lower prices. >> meg, thank. meg tirrell. all right. look at the russell 2000 another cyclical tilt to the trading day. what a week for the russell. basically session highs for today up 1.5%.

oppenheimer, up almost 12 percent. colin, a painful part of the market for investors so much hope around build back better and the biden administration basically since february of last year. the growth on a downward slope does that change given what they're saying >> not at all. we're looking at long term very long-term, substantial secular growth and resiliency along the ep of the grid look potential to move towards a completely zero emissions grid by 2035, really see the need for 6x growth in the solar industry. a lot of unit growth capabilities looking at within the companies. key thing pen enface brings, sor and savings. underlining fundamentals very
3:40 pm
much in place. >> dealing with supply chain issues plaguing the industry. colin what does demand look like how long does this story take to play out as you see it >> i think it's a growth story end of the decade. the growth of the industry from single digit giga watts to 20, 30 a year very much in early stages as we see the increase complexity and sophistication of technology with the storage and soler combined, and trying to service the ancillary services market, a company like enphase or solar edge have capabilities to serve the market and frame not only the hardaway also software compacts that turn into recurring reserve venue over ti. >> wonder what you see as immediate headwinds? long term bullish on this sector, but near term regulatory issues including how power
3:41 pm
companies deal with consumers who, use solar power don't necessarily contribute to the grid. >> that's a good question and important one for the industry actually a lot of studies done solar, up to a certain appointment provides resiliency on its own combine solar plus storage you add a lot of strength to the grid overall in terms of power edge of the grid and stability of the infrastructure. there's a substantial amount of avoided costs building new transmission and distribution lines. the california net meters case is, i think an important case study for studying a precedent for rest of the country. end of the day, likely what happens is we'll see a little bit of reduction in terms of net metering price for sale backs to the grid enhancing value of the energy storage at installation real headwind for us lack of
3:42 pm
clarity. looking for clarity around the rules. then the installation crewspap tight labor market and actual sales are very strong for the industry real bottleneck is actually deployment of systems and looking at that as a key area people are working on right now. >> what about federal money? what if we don't get a build back better? how much is expected in the sector now >> this is an important point that underlining federal support 10% investment tax credit is more than sufficient to serve over half the country. in terms of solar being running on its own inflationary impacting utilities rates get better look at those long-term trajectories we're not concerned. same time what the federal government has done over the course of multiple decade provide small extensions on these sorts of support programs
3:43 pm
as they come to the sunsetting deadlines. expecting that to continue on. expecting more of a piecemail approach federal support but not necessary for the growth of the industry at this point. >> got it. watching that. big move today colin, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. got a huge lineup of guests your way after the bell including disney and uber. earnings, i should say what to know ahead of the reports is next. watch or listen to us live on the go on the cnbc app dow's up 0.7 a -- 75 of a purse. we'll be right back.

3:47 pm
welcome back a great lineup coming your way in the second hour of "closing bell." get earnings results from disney and break them down with ceo bob chapek along with call with analysts and quarterly numbers from uber, mattel, trillio and more and tell you about adam arens latest maneuver and what is driving amc's intraday pop, which is your clue first, 13 minutes to go here in the trading day in the "closing bell" market zone cnbc mark santelli and kick it off with broader market. major averages all in the green. nasdaq outperforming up 2% paul just gave the quick rundown pap nice lift and seemed like yesterday as well. >> yeah. so the last hour of trading,
3:48 pm
sara, extremely volatile over the last month, you're well aware covering it every day. average move 60 basis points in the last hour of trading most volatile average move since april of 2020. coming out of the covid crash. i think it reflects so much uncertainty in the market right now. investors are hesitant sometimes to hold stocks overnight volatility to the upside and downside it's just -- the fact investors are just on edge and there's a lot of crossturns here there's plenty of reason to be concerned about the market, but then plenty of reasons you can take a step back and say, hey, things aren't that bad. >> for teed at least saw volatility take a step back, mike interesting about today's session into the big cpi for tomorrow, willingness to hold and buy hyer valuations name in spite of rates potentially
3:49 pm
rising tomorrow. got the igb, software etf, for instance, up almost 3% today alone. semiconductor up 3% today alone. on top of a strong week so far for these two groups. >> yeah. treasury yields today largely settled back slightly. also all of those goods you mentioned are coming off of pretty big pullbacks not as if people are willing to rush in buy them at their all-time highs one expect market seems to be again kind of, you know, willing to pull up into neutral ahead of the cpi number to a degree mentioned just about not quite at a one-week high. so i do find it interesting you see travel-related cyclical consumer related doing well as people embrace the idea omicron cases really crashing, and obviously seeing your way clear to reacceleration of the economy. >> see there on the chart. a strong bday but rough start to
3:50 pm
the year value investor bill miller joined cnbc earlier asked about big stocks from a value perspective. >> i think those stocks are all not particularly expensive pt meta trades lower ebitda than ibm does and still expected to grow these prices i think that represents attractive value. owned it a long time it's not a new position for us, but we certainly don't want to sell it down here. amazon down last 12 months though all parts of theirs business, below a multiple name we think will grow nicely. those names fall into a value camp on some of the parts or simple pe ratios. >> paul? what do you think of meta at this point looks like it's stemmed its losses at least for today? >> yeah. little bit of a bounce today after dropping 30%
3:51 pm
ironic about meta, one of the most loved mega caps coming into the year and hit harder than any of them. interesting about miller's interview earlier is that while he was talking about shift from growth to value, none of the quote/unquote value stocks mentioned are typically stocks most investors would consider to be value stocks. talking amazon, talking meta some of the other smaller cap names he talked about. if value is in the eye of the beholder, really important for investors to realize that value shouldn't just be looked at as simply a low pe stock. some stocks with low pes for a reason value relative to prospects of the company. >> miller's like amazon a long time sitting out a rally in mega cap techs today. noticeable, these are all up,
3:52 pm
microsoft, amazon. >> feeling amazon the stock in mind when he said it cheap on pe or part spaces a position size up amazon saying, here's where cloud software providers trade what's implied in terms of azure business worth x multiple of revenue or cash flow and dominating commerce business alongside of it it's been a little of a mystery, although as the stock is not acted well and now at bottom edge of a longer-term range you still see people willing to give it benefit of the doubt. maybe not a great thing. analysts kind of love it as it tries to absorb a lot of logistical costs. >> price action. >> no. >> uber a big company reporting earnings after the bell. deirdr deirdre here with numbers. >> lyft said omicron likely to
3:53 pm
shave off more than $100 million in the current quarter investors eager to see impact on uber's business rides increase, decrease, impacts on the bottom line and gross bookings, how demands is faring if driver supply problem eased, certainly in focus for l lyft see if it's same for uber. >> what a turnaround for lyft. now at 7%. originally down sharply on results and in turn lifting uber looking forward to tonight. >> and thinking ridership will come back strongly even though numbers missed here. stocks way off their heiss k off think highs keep that in mind. this economy with virtual duopoly in most parts of country together worth $90 billion look at the kind of companies that have 80, 100, $200 billion
3:54 pm
mark caps seem to be serving smaller macro segments of the economy. almost the idea. they don't know it great cash flow generating businesses autonomous driving, then okay. we're not near there >> in fact farther >> hold its value back and forth in the same range for years at this point. >> make justed by time until reopening is fully under way today we had a couple of governors including governor of new york ending the indoor mask mandates, for instance, for businesses here in the state paul, sort of a tilt towards reopening trade seen this week, today from particular. names like marriott, ulta. not wearing a mask, got to wear makeup. >> lipstick, blush, changed particularly for women in the morning these days, as well
3:55 pm
as -- >> so i think, yeah. i think we're seeing the strictest of states starting to see easing back of these mandates, and i think said it, makes things smoother for the economy. less restrictions mean as smoother economy back to uber, though talk is, oh, reopening, when things will get better for uber. look back at the stock's history. prior to covid stock down 30% from ipo to the end of 2019. actually did better during covid than after i think coming ouch this, they're not necessarily making money on these rides i don't know what the real optimism is here then 11 quarters as a public company missed earnings or revenues in seven of those elven qua 11 quarters. not the best record even when the economy was running smooth.
3:56 pm
>> stock up 5% going into earnings disney the other big name headlines after the bell's warnings. >> disney diverse array of revenue streams. the key thing investors focused in on is disney plus subscribers, after growth in disney plus subscribers fell short after netflix guided to slowing growth analysts expecting 126 million total disney plus, 8 million new subscribers in the quarter and listening to see if the company is on track to hit its 2024 goal between 230 and 260 million subscribers. talking about that as well as the rebound in the parts division in a first on cnbc interview with disney ceo bob chapek right after the company reports earnings back to you. >> julia, thank you. julia boorstin, a lot on the line setup with netflix disappointing prior to disney's print maybe is
3:57 pm
a pretty good one? >> yes how disney shiares performed languishing. longer term disney investors want the focus turn away from the quarter by quarter progress in streaming still isn't the big economic bet within the company even though it is long term. that's why parks probably are going to be more important one way to think about valuation. still expensive. 2019 fiscal 2019 earned over $7 a share. 20 times, normal earnings, 20 times that it's not crazy, they need a sense we're getting back there before terribly long with parks coming back into line. >> paul, what do you do with disney >> i mean, i think as far as we look at disney with streaming. much prefer netflix over disney. you can get, mike said, maybe streaming isn't the primary focus of the company, but netflix now trades at a similar bet multiple to disney and even
3:58 pm
going out earnings over the next two years. di disney's not a cheap stock and netflix considered a very expensive stock and got a similar valuation. some to keep in mind for investors looking at both of those stocks. >> netflix popping a little today. 2% well off its highs postearnings. about two minutes to go. and cyclical sparks in the market tied to the economy and some mega cap technology that suffered reopening plays like casinos and airlines doing well. >> overall s&p hanging in there for the rankt day. not far from highs again under the one week ago levels. very broad rally, too. equal weighted s&p outperforming and you have here over 4-1 versus declining val you'll. cyclicals, relative, transports to utilities so far year to date there was a real defensive turn in the markets coming into the year, and now you see transports
3:59 pm
barely nosing above utilities for the so far in the year look at volatility back down to low end of this three-week range right around 20 vix futures curve, something people look at for signs of stress normalized relasxed into a benign state. volatility potential coming into it, seems we have a bit of a shakeout in anxiety heading into it see if that's a good thing or a bad thing. >> yes as we look to close close to session highs and nasdaq now sitting at a gain of 1.94% s&p 500 up big gains in materials caught the left u.s. steel up by more than 7% this week staggering move in individual names. semiconductors very strong today. software very strong today high valuation very strong

4:01 pm
interview before talking to analysts on the conference call. first up on this close, the investment group with us, and from the needham growth fund joins the conversation chris, loading up on some growth names in the quake of a sell-off today? today a rewarding day. >> well, i think mike said it clearly a couple minutes ago as anxiety certainly fading to some extent earnings season is exciting on many names, but what the overhang is on the back end is where does the fed move? how much does it move? and i think we have been somewhat in a bottoming process, which takes some time. so we have been picking away at some good value. investors, able to collect good assets, but also been trimming back on those that have been higher multiples that we think could probably be more at risk of a very aggressive fed.
4:02 pm
>> like what, chris? >> we've pulled back on some software names at this point you know, the multiples, you know, north of ten times are probably still more at risk, and we'd like to see them down more in the single digits we think that would be a more appropriate place looking forward. but the areas we still continue to like that we think are good value and whip the secular trends you know, are semicap equipment. communications services. which has been pulled back quite a bit since its outbreak and covid work did very well more corrective last year. overall, small caps have been really in a downward market for the last 11 months finding a lot of value there as well in smaller cap companies that have corrected. e. semiconductors, paul, a good day, as melissa noted. up 4% for the group. down for the year 6.5% you look at this as a key leading indicator for the market
4:03 pm
what does it tell you now? >> good to see semis showing strength underperformed a little bit during this period when growth stocks have come under pressure. that's understandable but not collapsed at this point. on a relative basis. not too worrying chris mentioned small caps we talked about valuations in the market being accepted. in the small cap space, earnings have grown faster -- valuation are more attractive now relative to the end of 2019 so even though we've had big rally in small caps since start of 2020, earnings have grown faster you have more value in that small caps space of companies that do have earnings. >> chris, curious. when you say that pairing into hyper valuations software names. when were you doing that and at what point do you see value? feels a little like maybe enough has been taken out of these
4:04 pm
names where some people are in fact finding value in the face of the fed tightening? >> well, we had been trimming for the last couple months in those areas where the high multiples we felt was more at rick look, there's very good high-quality companies, and i think if you know, the economy does begin to slow, which is what i think the fed is trying to do with raising rates on the short end, and seeing a yield curve flattening really when you look at the seven and ten year it's pretty flat at this point in time we do think investors will come back to growth names when they're looking for 20%, 25% growth rates and a slowing economy. i just don't think we're at that point yet. we're going to probably see that at some point midyear. >> so which does bring up might be inflation report. set to get 7.2, 7.3 the headline expected shocking number. what do we need 0 to know what's
4:05 pm
priced in and how the market reacts >> you want deceleration month over month one thing to keep in mind is we've kind of known, january, february, into march, are going to be very ugly year over year numbers. also getting earnings reports from companies that were built up in a quarter when you had 7% inflation. noe in other words, living in this economy a little while in terms of fem intentioning, i think on tractor a few and the market already priced in perhaps five rate hikes this year. not clear tomorrow's number can decisively change that debate on its own, but obviously what's priced in is always more figuring, 8.5 or s&p since intraday low january 24th. market's gone a long way to prove it's a decent low. easier to do because reaching levels first reached in october. remember that. right? still down from the high >> all right disney earnings out.
4:06 pm

million. directionally a sense what things look like particularly in parks direction. insight in bookings but no definitive guidance. >> thanks. disney stock up a whopping 8% on back of these results. pock hickey, results answer the bears in terms of beasting on the sub numbers and deliver upside on the parks business >> yeah. that does, those numbers looking at the headlines, look very strong i still think it's an expensive stock, but the theme parks, sounds like they a great quarter and those results are only going to get better in the next few quarters as people are more free to move about and more comfortable to move about. those are impressive numbers looking what you're reporting. >> yep the stock reacting as such up 9.6 after hours. uber stock up also, and out.

4:16 pm
disney content drives the day. to be honest, great cast members. roughly 200,000 people working tirelessly every day to get us through the pandemic and drive us to these kind of results. >> and go back to disney plus in particular, because i know disney shares dropped on the netflix warning there would be slower growth in this quarter. what are you seeing right now just so far into 2022, and what's your sense of ability to hit the long-term arguments you set for 2024 >> we're reaffirming our guidance of 230 to 260 as we gave last december our target that continues to be our target and really drives, what we said great content. we'll have more franchise added content on our big franchises, added this fiscal year, doubled what we had in '21 that new content really is what drives it. quarter to quarter because of the pandemic we have little gaps here and there in terms of content.
4:17 pm
it's not a straight line growth every quarter, but reaffirming that 230, 260 and feel very good about that. >> i have to know the poster behind you a film you put in theaters for a shortened exclusive window curious how the gross did quarter with films like "encanto" thinking about investing and more theatrical releases on the platform sooner than the traditional window? >> always said a flexible distribution strategy now and reason is, because we're in a world of flux. changing consumer behavior because of the availability of titles in homes. co consumer, virus, love it, had a chance to see it lagged recovery from covid and theaters like to remain flexible as possible but believe in the future of the theatrical business particularly for big temple titles.
4:18 pm
obviously certain demographics slow coming back family films one thing. that's been a little slower. the films that go outside the big blockbusters, slows to come back we have a lot of options we believe between exhibition releases like "encanto" with a short window or direct to our service as you're seeing with "turning red" coming up in march. really, really excited about options we can give our a audience. >> netflix talked about a big movie on the platform every week give a sense how much you feel you need to invest more in that content? you lost more than expected in the direct to consumer division? >> investing heavily said last year when we gave investor conference we would go ahead and double our irnvestmen. doing it increasing investment in international local content and now producing 340 new productions there.
4:19 pm
yeah it's a hungry beast to feed. droect direct to consumer platform. consumers love it and good investment for us and our shareholders. >> is it necessary to buy more sports rights in particular bolsters es prnpn plus? and indian cricket rights? >> well swr, we have a strong portfolio of sports rights 95 i think of the last 100, top 100 shows that got highest ratings last calendar year were sports we think we're investing in a great area future of sports is not just about linear rights but direct to consumer options we give consumer, voting more and more for with pocketbooks, same time, you've got sports betting option, which really adds something material we believe to that proposition, as the new younger audience wants to bealities more engaged in the
4:20 pm
outcome of the game. same time with think more interactive, more games component to it as women less of a sit back and more lean forward experience those rights combined with all the other benefits we're working on building into the sports viewing process really will take espn and reinstate it as a big growth business for us. >> quick question. buy the rights to nfl sunday ticket >> bidding for it, and we always say that if an investment is creative for shareholders, do it moments it's not, back out we hope it is. >> the parks, what drove better then expected results? pricing, spending? what's the trend people booking for spring and summer? >> provides options for customization and personalization. people can, if they want to come to the park at a relative value, they can come in, kept lowest price ticket price same the last three years both at disneyland and walt disney world.
4:21 pm
same time give people options to upgrade. giving it to them with genie and genie plus and lightning option. by and large to a surprising extent about a third to 50% of our consumer base are actually our guests in the park, choosing to upgrade to genie plus, way above what we expected and speaks to desire of c customization, personalization yielding to our guests giving them a great customer experience no mat whir they come. second tuesday in september or the day after thanksgiving and our guest scores show that lowest prirsed day, stayed same. truth is, more crowded timesance popular times, those prices have gone up. backlash on line people want to afford to take their families how do you address those concerconcer what is driving those prices up? >> demand.
4:22 pm
supply and demand business unfortunately unlike, say, disney plus, we have a fixed supply we commit to our guests to give them the absolute best disney experience no matter when they come, and one of the ways we do that is by taking those guests that want a more personalized customized more expensive day, and using that essentially to keep lower prices, again, second tuesday in september societies really demand driving it, before we let you go, make sure to ask you metaverse. last time did an interview something you're very interested in, saw potential in three months later, what can you tell us about your plans to bring disney into the metaverse? rnts >> excited about this. third dimension we let our creative people paint. take all great things we have add a media and platform for the metaverse and we have something

in the cash flow sfreem disney over the last couple years of course the streaming result i think are relatively encouraging, too. it's not monster numbers but balanced faster growth foalso strong groh there too. i love their goal remains 230 to 260 million global subscribers probably just a coincidence netflix has 220 million subscribers. targeting just a little more man netflix has now. >> good catch ton that, mike. mgm earnings out stock moving on numbers. we have a look contessa >> yeah. earnings come in in adjusted 12 vents a share versus estimate of 2 cents a share on revenues of 3.1 billion dollars, also higher than consensus here. i want to focus on las vegas properties nome did they beat expectations

4:43 pm
the operating number doss not look as good i think the bear problem for them is, where the profit going to come from in streaming? i totally understand disney needs to get the share, pump out that product, but you saw very significant decline in operating earnings, even with that growth in revenue a question still hanging out over not just disney but the whole streaming segment. >> i think that's a question particularly for investors, alex, as the story transitions from the reliable disney that so many people hold to the streaming service with higher multiple before does the profitability come from on this service? >> yeah. it will get more intense you heard bob chapek tell julia b boo boorstin, espn is bidding. if they do, changes the

4:45 pm
lately >> ai'm not sure what bob chapek is talking about in terms of metaverse. thrown the word around described it to julia combination of physical and virtual world i don't really know what that means. so until disney kind of spells out what exactly they mean by metaverse, i don't think investors will give him credit for it kind of a broader theme bemonday dbemonday -- beyond disney. i don't know if we're there yet. if we are, somebody tell me. i'm confused. >> combination of physical world an digital world and third dem dimension of its creators. all temterms used to describe te metaverse when julia talked to him three months ago back to the actual business here and now, is this a growth stock? >> the real world. >> yeah. the real world is this a growth stock, jim? sort of the question at this
4:46 pm
point. talking about bidding for sports rights talking about streaming. different things throw metaverse in there is this a growth stock >> they seem to be tackling three spending arms races at once number one is streaming programming. billions and billions of dollars that's going to cost two, sports programming. amazon talking about muscling into that area more, apple plus talking about it i mean, want to go into a spending war with amazon and apple? i mean, two of the biggest markets capped companies on the planet and now metaverse who do we have in metaverse? meta/facebook and microsoft with a huge investment in that area. with incredible financial resources. do you want to compete on all of these fronts at once i think that's a really high-risk strategy frankly if i was disney, i'd like to see them what they do
4:47 pm
best streaming, content got the brand, franchises, know how to do that try to kill that how they defend espn, though, very interesting question. again, numbers on linear networks don't look that great flat revenues, declining profit again. cable model i think is really at risk there i think those are long-term issues that the company is going to have to address. >> skeptical jim stewart as always, thank you thanks to alex sherman as well. shares of meta, moving high per's still down about 30% over the last week. up next, money trader and meta shareholder joining us with a take whether or not the social giant hit bottom. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire ♪♪
