5:30 am
watching with free cash flow or margin to give us a direction for this sector? >> two key metrics organic sales growth and competition. how it is holding up and gross margins. let me dive deeper gross margins have been under pressure in the industry for a while. p&g specifically seven consecutive quarters of declines a lot of inflation these companies are trying to catch up and grind out productivity and catch up on price. you see it on the cpi numbers. they have been pushing through price. this should be a quarter where we can hit an inflection point the price point is up and it sticks meanwhile, we get moderation of the rate of inflation. our price net of cost which is a deficit for seven consecutive quarters should turn positive. that organic sales growth is holding strong and we clearly
5:31 am
get earnings acceleration. this should be a sweet spot where earnings accelerate. the 10-year for p&g is three a lot of that is the excess price in the system. they perform well with market share.expansion, that is a goo pl place. that is a broad based brush ac across the industry. >> you are painting a lot of tailwinds, jay son. you put out research a month ago. you have estimates that goldman sachs has worked up that consumer disposable income increases 8% this year. what could that mean for these names? >> it comes back to the question whether or not the consumer can weather the price increases.
5:32 am
back to organic sales growth we know prices should be rich. the question is how much degradation on volume? that rosy scenario i gave you brings us to the research you mentioned. everything we see from the consumer suggests they should continue to digest the inflation. our work gets us to the inflation growing this year. that is a multid-decade high last year, that picture looked different. we had high wage growth, but cycling stimulus the consumer had to pay more to feed their family and fuel their car and heat their home. expense inflation was substantial al this year, lacking the run-up on gas prices even food is showing signs of moderation i get better top line income for
5:33 am
the consumer and i don't get the same magnitude of spending power. that leaves me with a better position on how much is left in the consumer's wallet to go out and buy discretionary goods. all of that leaves us relatively constructive on consumer spending outlook this year >> how are macro factors impacting these names? i'm talking about the falling dollar and the gradual reopening of china >> a couple of things. first from the stock price rotation, prices are a headwind because of the costs rolling into recession have abated and the flight to safety weighed on the group. from a fundamental perspective, the dollar has weakened and most of the companies, particularly p&g and estee lauder
5:34 am
we like where the dollar is going right now relative to last quarter. we will revise higher. if you ask about china and reopening, it is early we will get a lot of data points from the companies what we are seeing so far is suggesting flashing more green than red of we heard from lvmh and the luxury division last week. same from l'oreal. they talked about a little bit of a slow start, but a strong double digit growth. it looks like we are turning momentum in china. that means a lot for companies p&g, china is the second largest
5:35 am
market estee is glrowing 40% in the chinese market >> jason, thank you. sticking with the consumer stocks it is not just the staples and c consumer stocks. we have kate rogers with more. >> reporter: restaurants season earnings will be key next with mcdonald's reports bank of america out this week with a note on consumer p percp perception of higher prices. on tuesday, mcdonald's and chipotle will be out with results for the quarter. mcdonald's stock continues to fly higher into earnings as both investors and analysts seem
5:36 am
confident to continue to perform into the downturn. oppenheimer calling it battle tested for previous recessions things to the lower price point. chipotle is a name that has had pricing power the last year. it will have to see if that continues. last quarter was weaker than expected for the chain, but not due to pricing chipotle is up 5% this month and 30% this year. dominos reports on thursday. another name that has done well in prior downd turns it is struggling with a driver shortage plaguing it for about a year that stock is 24% away from the recent high and down 6% on the year it sliced guidance last quarter due to economic headwinds. frank, back to you >> that was kate rogers in san francisco. for more insights, let's head to cnbc.com and sign up for the

a contributing factor in the chance of silicon valley bank. the potential move might include ending exemption to allow some banks to boost capital they report for regulatory purposes we will watch this story on cnbc. time now for the morning call sheet this is where we check on the upgrades and downgrades by firms you know hsbc upgrading at&t rating to a buy. shares of the giant suffering the worst drop in two decades. the second largest day drop yesterday on the back of the earnings which was disappointing. hsbc says this is an opportunity to get in on the stock second up is citi. upgrading the rating from neutral to buy for xpo it cites the edition of old dominion and that enhances the
5:44 am
company's operational credibility. and third is cantor fitzgerald with the overweight rating investors are under estimating the small wins cvs pieced together recently. something to watch we are keeping an eye on reemg a regional banks this week fears of outflowing with the banking turmoil is not as bad as feared dom chu is joining us with more on how the banks are stacking up good morning, dom. >> this is the interesting part about the regional bank picture. there was an expectation that we could see a lot more deposit flight out of the smaller regional banks in the wake of silicon valley bank collapse and going toward larger money center banks like jpmorgan chase and bank of america and others what you are seeing right there is a selection of some of the larger and mid-sized regional
5:45 am
banks impacted by that deposit flight these banks already reported interestingly enough, some of the bigger regional banks in america like pnc financial and key bank have actually shown deposit gains between the end of last year and end of the first quarter. some other regional banks, truist, showed 2% drop in deposits u.s. bank corp and comerica and western alliance in texas and arizona are more impacted. the interesting part about comerica and american alliance, some of the deposit levels were expected generally speaking, the regional bank picture deposit wise hasn't shaped up as bad as some thought. by the way, for western alliance, we learned in the first two weeks of the current quarter, they gained deposits. i want to put up the big bank
5:46 am
deposit levels it implies there may be a seasonal effect with people taking money out jpmorgan chase is the only big bank in america that saw deposit gains quarter over quarter on the ending basis bank of america, wells fargo and citi all saw modest and marginal declines in deposit base when it comes to the deposit issues these days, it doesn't look as though things got as bad as we thought. keep in mind the big reports that come up next week is first republic on monday frank. >> dom, let's go into the big banks first. a big inflow of the deposits to the big banks. it doesn't seem it turned out that way. >> there were flows there, but it speaks to the regional.
5:47 am
there are demands for cash for customers in the retail side and corporate side in the first quarter. think about tax payments due think about things people need cash for in the first quarter. oftentimes, it is seasonal that goes into the levels with the big banks, they may have seen the deposits in the last part of the quarter after silicon valley bank collapse in the beginning of march overall, it did not outweigh some of the general moves that happened in the first quarter. by the way, the ones we really care about are first republic and pac west we get regions financial later on today the idea behind regions financial is a southwest bank and it could give you an idea of that move. given what we already have seen from the large regionals, especially around the country, we are not expecting a huge deposit issue. >> let's show that one more time
5:48 am
including western alliance western alliance, one deeply impacted was there any connection to silicon valley bank or signature bank why did that see an impact >> with western alliance specifically, they have a division called bridge bank. bridge bank was set up by western alliance to be a competitor, if you will, to silicon valley bank. serving that client base venture capital and private equity backed companies. when you saw the issues at silicon valley bank emerge, it stands to reason those same types of customers would feel the same skittishness about deposits at a company or bank like bridge bank bridge bank got caught up in that what we did know about the situation with bridge bank is they saw the same activity, but generally speaking, western alliance got a huge pop after earnings because what they did
5:49 am
tell us was in just the first two weeks of the month and quarter, they got $2 billion of new deposit inflows. it implies some customers are not feeling as scared about western alliance >> i know this is is not your first rodeo with the banks first republic next week. >> on monday and pac west on tuesday. >> a lot of action >> i can't wait for it to be over. >> dom chu, thank you for waking up early. coming up, the word that every investor needs to know today and pivotal advisers tiffany mcghee with the latest "worldwide exchange" will be back stay with us we should pay more than men for the same thing. or pay taxes for period products. here, we can ask tough questions, day or night. and here, we're actually heard. and because of that, we can focus on getting healthier
