tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  May 8, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm EDT

4:00 pm
coffee. it had a nice gain today. 12% last time i looked. [closing bell ringing] >> green mountain rocked it, up about 13%, you're right. liz: i finally gave in and bought a keurig in the middle. night on qvc. i bought a qvc keurig. david: they look forward to the insomniacs. we had a heck of a ride today. the dow ended up with a gain. all the indices are negative. looking at small to mid-sized stocks. that's where you saw a big turn around. you saw big gains on nasdaq turn into negative. all seemed to happen around the time of a bad action of government debt. it may not have been exclusively that. there are still concerns what is happening overseas but it was about that time it happened. we'll be focusing on that in particular. liz: let's get you through the headlines. front page headlines, new signs of strength. yes the labor market showing signs. the number of americans filing
4:01 pm
new claims for unemployment benefits dropped last week, falling 26,000 to 319,000. david: fed chair janet yellen was back on capitol hill today, second day of hearings, first the house, then the senate. says it could take five to eight years for the fed to shrink its more than $4 trillion balance sheet to normal levels. it has skyrocketed as a result of fed's easy money policies. liz: european central bank president mario draghi says the ecb could take action next month to try to push up inflation and boost the eurozone economy. draghi acknowledging concerns about the euro's strength. david: new warnings about bank of america performance. clsa banking analyst mike mayo lowering his 2014 earnings estimate for the bank to 55 cents a share from a buck a share. liz: former u.k. banking powerhouse barclays is trying again and it will take the axe to its workforce. this time slashing 7,000 jobs from its investment bank.
4:02 pm
that is on top of the 10 to 12,000 job cuts already announced in february. david: charlie gasparino saw that coming. net profits at toyota, the world's biggest automaker surged by 90% in its last financial year but the company warned earnings may fall this fiscal year as benefits from the weaker yen begin to wear off. busy hour coming up. "after the bell" starts right now. liz: yeah. here we are. just saying no cme because we don't have the camera just yet. we sure have jason pride, glenmede director of investment strategy to tell investors how to hedge downside risk. we have january r john maxim from beak can capital management partner saying investors need a 21st century portfolio. i hope so. we're already in the 21st century, john. define that at a time we're seeing major volatility not just day-to-day but from
4:03 pm
hour-to-hour? >> well, i mean, thanks for having me on the show. what we mean by 21st century portfolios we're still dealing clients unfortunately, in our firm we deal with a lot of retirees still working with brokers. liz: can i interrupt you? we're getting cvs earnings. hold on, john, one second. adam shapiro, how did cvs do. >> beat on earnings per share. street was expecting 74 cents. they just missed on revenue, 3.86 billion. the street was expecting 3.91 billion, liz. liz: thank you very much, on cvs. we're checking numbers right now. looks like they're flat at the moment -- cbs. no real surprises when it comes to trading. we're watching this right now, david. i don't know what headlines you're seeing. david: advertising revenue, 2.16 versus 2.46 billion last year. all of the networks getting hit hard by advertising as it finds new space not only in cable but also in social media. that is weighing heavily on all
4:04 pm
the networks. cbs has had an extraordinary year in broadcasting. it has been doing very well in all the prime time shops. still has "60 minutes," some perennial favorites that do well, but even with those ratings, shows you, liz, even when you're top in the ratings it doesn't necessarily pay off. we're seeing that after-hours. you beat, of course they had a little miss on revenue but beat on the top line and still not helping you after-hours. liz: that is an excellent point about advertising because their entertainment revenue coming in at 2.3 billion versus 2.54 billion last year. so a little bit light there year-over-year. we'll be watching this very closely. back to you, john, so sorry we interrupted but you were talking about making sure people have a 21st century portfolio. >> it is really the premise that buy and hold i of itself not that it doesn't have any value but you have to have a little bit broader spectrum relative to the market. the average buy and hold investor for the last 13 years really not made a whole lot of
4:05 pm
progress. along with our other guest, our firm believes in downside risk mitigation strategies. markets had five years going up. it is not designed to go up 20 or 30% each year-over-year. we're definitely not in the decade of the '90s. david: we have mark sebastian at cme. sorry we came a little late. we had some transmission problems. specifically whether or not that 30-year bond auction slowed up the market? dramatic turnaround about the time of that really lousy auction that the government put out. is that what caused the downturn? >> yeah. one common misperception that bond and stocks always are negatively correlated. when yields are really, really low. we start to see bond and stocks actually correlate. that is kind of what happened today. 30-year got toasted. brought everything else down with it which brought stocks down. we were looking potentially threatening awe-time high in the s&p 500. as soon as the auction went out,
4:06 pm
the vix rallied, s&p sold off. the day kind of went away. all be interested to see if we get another shot threatening all-time high. look at the russell 2000, take a look at the nasdaq, continue to be really ugly. russell 2000 hanging around the 11 level. small caps -- liz: why are you blaming treasurys and not the russell? the russell seems to be holding reins on very tough dog now? >> we were going to have a nice day until the treasury auction came out. that is just the way it is. small caps continue to lead equities intraday but when you watch equities they're moving together. so the russell was up. nasdaq was up. s&p was up. auction comes out, market, market drops. david: okay. we have another earnings set of earnings numbers coming in news corp, formerly our parent company here at twenty-first century fox. what are the numbers there? >> this is the publishing side. "wall street journal" as well as australian broadcasting. it is a beat on earnings per
4:07 pm
share. the adjusted earnings per share is 11 cents. the street was expecting adjusted earnings per share of three cents. revenue, it's a slight beat, 2.08 billion. the street was expecting 2.07 billion. let me check real quick after-hours. it is trading, about flat. >> down barely. david: it is about flat. >> flat essentially, david. david: terrific stuff. thank you very much. jason, let me go to you first and let's talk about the overall market. put these earnings in context because we didn't have much movement after-hours. we're in the 61st month of an expansion. that's a long time. >> that's right. david: 179% rise in the markets. maybe that is why in the past couple weeks every time we get this jump it begins to flatten out again? >> right. well, we've been kind of putting this into the category of aging and raging. we're past the midpoint or the historical average for a bull market expansion. historical average actually is 61 months since world war ii and
4:08 pm
177% gain. we're right on that mark. that doesn't necessarily mean the end of it, but definitely means that we have to take a little bit more caution as we move along. in terms of earnings, you know, our indicators are showing that revisions have actually picked up. we had a lot of downward revisions in first quarter. part of that was due to passing off and management guiding down from what were lofty expectations at beginning of year and good amount of it was weather related. now looks like we're starting to inch ahead. earnings came in. we're about 69% of them ahead of expectations so far. in this first quarter. and even revenues are on the whole, 53% of them ahead of expectations. so, you know earnings, it's not a bad situation. it's not, still not as robust as the hotter periods have been. so we're looking forward to market of 17 times earnings. we're a little bit ahead of the historical average. investors were in the later
4:09 pm
stage of the bull market. you have to start getting a little bit more concerned but nothing, you don't have to slam on the brakes hard at this point in time. liz: john, i will guess, we have people watching retail investors, they made a mistake, sat on the sidelines worried because of this parade of negativity that some people have had on front pages, worried, worried but wall street climbed that wall of worry and we're up markedly since 2009. is there a way for them to get in, find some yield, but still maintain a safe distance from what could be a correction, that might be coming sooner rather than later as david mentioned? what was number you gave? david: 61st month. 179%. liz: might get gray around the temples here. so how can people participate without getting hurt? >> you have to first of all take a look at the market itself. the market seems to be transitioning from stocks that are more momentum stocks and growth based into more value. so i think that is where investors may want to take a look at. they have also got to look at market as longer term investment
4:10 pm
strategy. so i look more along the lines of value. we like high-paying dividend stocks for our clients. we do expect that revenue is going to pick up, as we go through earnings season, roughly, 75% of the companies have beat their estimates. but one of the other aspects is that sales have only beat their estimates in about 52% of the cases. of course we think a lot of that has to do with the harsh winter. if you look at consumer sentiment, it is actually quite high. the unemployment numbers were good last week. unemployment is continuing to slowly increase. people have jobs and consumer spending economy, they will be spending money. now we don't think we'll have a year like 2013. we expect volatility to continue especially if the fed continues to move away from current monetary policy. there is almost some clumsiness or you know, clunkiness if you -- david: just got to jump in for one second. the number, the jobs numbers were decidedly mixed last week.
4:11 pm
great to have that unemployment number come down, top line but again 800,000 people moving out of the jobs market is not good. median income is coming down people might be less likely to reach in their pockets. finally, really quickly, jason, want to ask you about housing. we got very mixed signals. are you bullish or bearish on housing right now? >> after the gains we've seen we're a little bit more, cautious on it but that is mainly because the volumes aren't there. the volumes aren't there because the inventories aren't there. at end of the day the house prices are going up. it is easier for people to actual purchase a home. david: yeah. >> getting loans is a little bit easier. but problem that we have is the volume's not there. if you look around there is not a lot of volume out there for people to even purchase. david: that's right. >> so those numbers are going to be soft until that volume is released in the market. david: gotcha. good stuff, guys. liz: jason pride, john maxim, thank you so much. david: thank thank you, mark sen as well. liz: tech and health care get
4:12 pm
all the attention like bratty little kids. nextwave of m&a activity may actually come from the ho-hum utility sector. who has the for sale sign on its door in that sector? five companies that pay great dividend by the way that may be ripe for a takeover. david: this is fascinating segment coming up. looking for a job is grueling stuff going site to site, submitting your resume' again and again. a new app has much more effective way, revolutionary way to connect you with potential employers. the company that put this aptogether is actually looking for some more funding. it is ripe for investment right now. the cofounder is here. you don't want to miss this. liz: here's question. what do jay-z, leo dicaprio and begin negotiate paltrow have in common? they all can be your neighbors for a mere $36 million. we'll tell you where that is details ahead. david: we want to hear from you. talking with housing.

on reports of new regulations in macau. liz: that can be good. let's get back to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. >> they are trying now to curb some suspicious activity. this is what we're hearing, that hong kong's largest english language newspaper, south china post, saying this is part of an anticorruption drive that in beijing on illegal use of union pay. union pay is somewhat like visa or mastercard. they legally, people of china are legally allowed to bring in up to $3200 to macau of the they can legally withdraw about 1600. however, there is concern there are mobile card swiping devices and, then you obtain local currency and more of it. this is what now the, the union backed, unpay payment card is looking into curb these suspicious practices. and then in the meantime we saw some of the stocks dropping
4:17 pm
down. they pared their losses but this isn't a story that end right here right now on aft the we, right? we know this story will continue and as they try to curb this a little bit. david: now, nicole, you know what macau needs right now? mo green. liz: why? david: mo green. he could straighten it all out, the guy who straightened out las vegas. liz: oh, mo green. i thought you were talking about mo green. david: both. both. from the sublime to the ridiculous. tech and social media mergers and acquisitions have most investors attention. utilities may be bigger market for every m&a activity. there have been 635 m&a deals announced. a staggering number compared to the 161 deals a year earlier. talking particularly about utilities companies, they are nine times what they were a year ago. liz: here's a question. which companies should you as an
4:18 pm
investor keep an eye out for potential takeover targets? phillip van doren joins you now. five utility names to watch. he is with market watch. we love the article. great to vow. it is very clear you set out a course of potential acquisition targets but they all have really good dividend plays as well. first get to your theory why you think utilities will be the place to be when it comes to m&a activity? >> thanks, liz. utilities are the place to be especially electric utilities, because there are acquirers out there, ready to do big deals to grow their regulated electric distribution business. that is quite a mouthful but that is the key to the business right now because the regulated distributors can increase their prices automatically when fuel prices increase. liz: aren't you worried though, phillip, that this is a highly regulated industry anyway? therefore any kind of merger activity would be scrutinized by the department of justice and,
4:19 pm
all the other regulators involved? >> the local regulators are most important when it comes to getting those deals approved. but, yes, that is a bit of a worry and that is something that the acquirers and target companies have to explore before agreeing upon deals. david: okay, electric utilities, electric utility rights now have had some bad years. it has been a great year for the stock market in general. utilities have not kept pace because their earnings have not kept in place for at love reasons. old energy plants they have are terribly inefficient and real albatross around the necks. you are looking and these are companies that you're looking at. you're looking at these because they're the biggest clunkers, and think have the greatest potential being taken over. first energy, start with that. why do you like first energy as a possible takeover target? >> first energy came to the top of the list, aside from excelon which announced a big deal last week, they were worst performing
4:20 pm
at 57 publicly-traded public utilities. first energy cut its dividend this year, although the dividend yield is above 4%. they're cheapest sock on the list. it would appear this could be a take-out target although the company itself says it wants to make acquisitions to grow its regulated business. liz: again a 4.4% dividend. flip over to entergy, 4.5% dividend. pg&e, public service enterprise, 3.8%. is it a smart bid to get into all of these and get paid in dividend while you wait for something to happen? >> well, certainly is nice to get paid while you wait. despite the industry's strong performance this year, with the s&p 500 energy stocks up 15%, these names could still be hot in the m&a market because of the majority regulated business that they have. david: the question i have though, is that since electric utilities have done so badly, if you can put up again that list
4:21 pm
of the clunkers, these are stocks that again phillip thinks will likely be taken over and as such could increase in value tremendously but could a drag on their earnings be so great that investors would just runnen mass away from them? >> it is possible, but investors haven't been doing that year because they have been pushing these names up at a much faster rate than overall market is moving up. david: phillip, thank you very much for coming in. we appreciate it. liz: travel sites like orbitz worldwide are hoping for a blowout summer vacation season after a horrible holiday wall the bad weather. this as americans may be say they plan to travel more but can orbitz beat the big boys like expedia and priceline? we have orbitz worldwide ceo for our fox business special report on the business of travel. david: amazon taking its delivery services to a whole new

4:27 pm
as we head into summer now, what do the company's quarterly numbers and guidance tell us about the strength of the travel industry? joining me now, barney heart per, orbitz worldwide ceo. let's get to it, barney. what do your numbers and data tell us what could be a healthy or weak summer travel season? >> you know, we're seeing a really strong travel market these days. we did a summer travel survey recently and found 88% of consumers plan to take a summer vacation. that is up 77%. liz: where are they going and planning to do? vacation packages to europe? >> majority, biggest destinations are within the u.s. for u.s. travelers. mexico is a top international destination. europe is a little bit more expensive right now given the approximately 5% deterioration of exchange rate we've seen over last 12 months. however there are ways to save. if you buy airline ticket and
4:28 pm
hotel together you can save approximately $600 buying a six-night trip from chicago to paris. there is real money to be saved if you buy hotel and flight together. liz: your overall gross bookings edged up by 3%. some of that had to do with very strong, just what you talked about, the packages, hotel, flight, putting it all together. you know, how do you really capitalize on that? where's the biggest opportunity? because you also have these other sites, ebookers for europe and cheap tickets? >> we do. so the big strategic focus on orbitz worldwide is hotel. and we reported real growth in the first quarter of 12%. with the benefit of acquisition of travelocity's parlor network, we guided high teens in room night growth for second quarter. so hotels really, the big strategic focus and then we're supplementing that with a big, big focus on mobile where it's so, so easy to book your hotel room and we have same day killer
4:29 pm
mobile deals available in 500 markets worldwide. liz: same day, does that mean i have to buy it and travel the same day? >> well you can get the deals for, further out as well but, we find that today approximately 60% of our customers who are booking same day are booking through mobile devices. about 1/5 of our business in total and there are some really great deals to be had because hotels recognize rather than walking up or using a phone, people are using mobile devices to access last minute rates. liz: mobile's huge. but i'm not that spontaneous but i wish i were. back in the day we were. your deal with visa this is interesting. you're hooking up to have the customer credit card. you could argue you're behind some of your competitors. expedia already did this. travelocity has done it. what do you hope to glean from this and can it really add to your bottom line having a visa reward card? are people that into booking on orbitz and getting rewards?

4:37 pm
to use a similar technology to find a equally difficult process, getting a job. we have the cofounder, reilly davis. we're always asking our guests with various companies who have any companies but this is makes it easier to put a jobseeker in touch with somebody hiring people. how exactly does it work? >> yeah, david, thanks so much for having us on the show. you know, in short we're tinder for jobs and in the same way that tinder has really simplified the dating experience we have tried to make it as easy and simple as possible for candidates on their mobile phones to swipe through jobs and you know, applying for a jobs is easy as a swipe. and the same for employers. david: okay, let me just stop you here, reilly. you may think that everybody out there knows what tinder is. not everybody does. that is a dating site. >> yep. david: explain how yours works. we should say if you do know tinder it's a very similar process. go ahead. >> yeah. so how it works for a candidate,
4:38 pm
first you sign up, import your profile and you start rating jobs. if you like it, you swipe to the right. if you don't like it, you swipe to the left. once you've done that, we'll show your profile to an employer. if the employer likes you back we make the connection and start a conversation right from within the app. david: now, linkedin is art pa of this process or you can use linkedin. have you really been working with that company? or does it just conveniently fit in with your app? >> yeah. so, we allow users to import their profile from linkedin. linkedin is great about letting people bring the professional profile all over internet. we admire linkedin for being the best professional social network out there. what we think linkedin doesn't do good enough job at is making the job search process mobile, easy, simple and fun for, you know, candidates. when i was in my previous job people would sit at their desk
4:39 pm
