bluest of the blue chips. like it or not, facebook turns ten. but what does the site that redefined our online lives have planned for the next decade? we have all that and more tonight on "nightly business report" for tuesday, february 4th. good evening, everyone. tyler is off tonight. we begin with a historic change at microsoft today. the legendary software giant named a new chief executive. as we told you last week, he's satya nadella. now it's official. the new man in charge is an engineer, a microsoft insider, and a native of india. and he's only the third ceo in the company's 40-year history. stepping into a job held first by cofounder bill gates and later steve ballmer. both gates and ballmer will continue to serve on the microsoft board, and gates will become a technology adviser to nadella. but the critical question now, does all that shuffling chairs really mean a new chapter of innovation for microsoft or business as usual for the same

old company? josh lipton reports. >> reporter: when we think about our product. >> reporter: after a six-month search, microsoft ultimately chose an insider as its new ceo. satya nadella is a veteran of the software giant. he's been working there for more than 22 years. most recently he was the v.p. of cloud and enterprise, a key segment for the company going forward. supporters of nadella say they was the best choice as his background will help maintain microsoft's momentum in the commercial side of the business which accounts for 65% of the company's gross profits. there are concerns though about nadella, including how he'll fix the biggest challenge facing the company. >> i don't think this pick addresses their biggest challenge, which is consumer. whether it's consumer devices, consumer services, or consumer software. consumers are looking to apple, they're looking to google and companies like samsung for those types of products and services.

>> i'm a lifelong learner. >> reporter: analysts say nadella either figures out how to win in the consumer space or exit those businesses. another worry. nadella has run various business divisions but he's has has never worked as a ceo. >> for him never being a ceo on stepping into a 130,000-person company, he's going to be a work in progress probably for awhile, kind of ramping up. there's so much for him to accomplish strategically and operationally. >> i'm proud of the things we've accomplished. >> reporter: gates will step down as chairman of microsoft and into a new role as technology adviser. john thompson will assume the role as chairman. his record is mixed. as ceo of symantec he grew revenue ten fold but also oversaw the controversial acquisition of veritas in 2004. analysts say thompson left symantec in far worse shape because of that deal. as for steve ballmer, he remains on the board at least for now.

one issue for nadella, will he have room to operate as the ceo or will gates and ballmer try and dominate the board room. while several changes were made today, the question remains about whether this new leadership team can help microsoft transition to a company focused on mobile and cloud technology. nadella has the experience in the cloud and will soon find out whether he has the ability to take on the many challenges facing microsoft. josh lipton, "nightly business report," silicon valley. joining us now to talk more about microsoft's new ceo is brent phil. he's senior analyst at ubs. brent, you've probably heard all the talk on wall street today. they wanted a new ceo to run microsoft, someone that was an outsider from the company. so let's just begin with your point of view. is satya nadella the right guy for this job? >> yes, we think he is. he was our pick from the get-go while wall street wanted an outsider, we think they're most capable on the inside.

he's been in the company over 20 years and successfully steered a number of their businesses, including turning around their server business, leading their cloud business. so there's a lot of question marks if he's the right guy. but we think he's shown internally that he is. >> a lot of questions also about what is microsoft going to be? some people on wall street saying they'd like to seat company split or at least spin off its consumer businesses like x-box, like tablets, and then just focus on the software side. what do you think? >> they're very strong in enterprise. their consumer business has been their weak link. we think satya's experience again on the enterprise business. we don't say -- some have said he's not a consumer-oriented ceo but we think he's leading the strongest part of their business over 60% of their revenue. they have to make up ground. consumer i think is his biggest challenge and mobility. that's the number one issue. >> brent, you're recommending microsoft stock. why is it a buy at $36? >> it was a buy last year.

went up over 40%. everyone gave us a lot of heat. we were one of only 30% of the analysts recommending it. we think it was the right call. we think the stock grinds higher, not flies higher. it's already had a big move. we think the stock can go into the low 40s predicated on a low teen multiple on earnings. >> i'm sorry we're going to have to leave it there. brent, thank you so much. brent similar, senior analyst at ubs. late today, nadella's pay package was made public. his base salary will increase to more than $1 million, and he'll receive a stock award valued at more than $13 million. on wall street today, the markets bounced back a bit with traders swooping in to buy up beaten down stocks following yesterday's massive selloff. also encouraging investors, a report showing that factory orders rose for the third straight month if you take out the volatile auto and aircraft sector. the dow rose 72 points, the nasdaq was up 34, closing above the key 4,000 mark again.

and the s & p added 13 points. now with the dow falling nearly 7% so far this year, many stocks have taken a beating. but for value hunter, this could be a buying opportunity especially in some of of well-known names. dominic chu has more. >> reporter: the word correction is making its way back into trader and investor chatter. generally speaking, a correction is loosely defined as a pull back in the stock market by 10% of more. within the s & p 500 index of large cap companies, over 100 stocks have hit that mark. and around 30 stacks are within striking distance of that mark. this does represent a buying opportunity for some experts. >> if we're in a bull market, this pull back is giving us a really good entry point, something we haven't seen in months, actually. so i'm actually pretty encouraged. but i do think people have to be careful. >> reporter: so if you've got the stomach, these are some of the names that are making their way onto investor's shopping lists in case markets do manage to recover from losses.

blue chip well-known companies. 3 m, the ones who make everything from post it sticky notes to scotch brite sponges and cleaning supplies. it's a dow component down 10% this year. integrated oil giant ex on mobile does everything from extract the stuff from the ground to refine it and selling it as gasoline. its shares have fallen by 11%. and then there's general electric, which makes everything from refrigerators and light bulbs to aircraft engines and locomotives. g.e. is the worst performing stock in the dow this year, off by 12%. still, there are those who believe that stocks have further to fall and now may not be the time to get into the market. >> i think that really depends on the investor's time frame. but if you're really looking for the perfect timing to buy in, chances are these type of selloffs last longer than just a handful of days or weeks, so there might be a better buying

opportunity coming down the pike. >> >> reporter: of course the decision depends a lot upon how you're willing to wait and what your resting tolerance is. prudent advice is to proceed with caution. "nightly business report" spoke today with some individual investors. we asked them what worries you about the markets right now. and are you finding safe places to put your money? let's take a listen. >> we go through this all the time. it's just a matter of the market readjusting itself. >> we'll take profits and put the money back into it. >> i have concerns only if it keeps on going down. >> it's just dropped 300 plus points. would you be concerned? >> i think there's been stock market volatility since the economy crashed a couple of years ago. and i don't think anybody feels secure in the stock market anymore. >> we had a long run up. probably more than was actually justified by what was going on in business. so you have an adjustment. >> let's get the thoughts now of a veteran money manager who's

seen many pull backs in his long wall street career. mike coluholland of holland and company. great to have you on with us. a kind of a mixed bag comments. some people kind of matter of fact about the selloff yesterday and others very concerned. what are you telling individual investors about how to look at the situation that we're in? >> well, compared to previous cycles, this one is very moderate at this point. and the fundamentals are actually quite good at this point. one comment from that package you just had a second ago that jumped out at me was the woman who said people just don't feel secure ever since the crash of 2008. and i think that's the backdrop to a lot of what's going on in the markets right now. in a very short period of time domin domin

dominic chu was talking about how some stocks are down 10%. the stock market was up 30% last year. you didn't have a lot of people cheering with new highs in the dow. now the market is off 7 to 9% overall people are quite concerned. there's a lot more fear than greed. that's not a bad thing. it keeps prices relatively low. i have to say that compared to previous market cycles, we're out of recession. it doesn't feel like it because psychology is so bad. but companies are doing okay. >> you talk about the psychology. a number of those people were saying it's an adjustment. they've kind of gotten used to selloffs and then there's an adjustment. there seem to be a sense in the markets today that the selling is over and that we're back on our way again. is the selling over? are we in for more in this correction cycle? >> well, i've been around too long to give you an answer other than i don't know. but when you have this kind of a very quick, fast, severe

reaction, 7 to 9, 10%, you normally have a bounce back as you did today. next couple of days will be important. twitter reports its earnings tomorrow after the close. it will be interesting what they report and how market reacts. friday very important jobs report for people who are very short-term market. how many jobs were created in the u.s. that will be another point that people will be looking at. but i have to tell you, i was remarking to you earlier today that a number of companies have reported earnings are okay. they're up several percentage points over the year ago. we also have china i was over there a couple of weeks ago. same thing over there. growing not as fast as we used to, but we're still growing. so overall the fund amountals are good. inflation is very low and prices are relatively low. so for people who actually have the stomach to do it, when these things go down if they do go down some more stocks like ge, 3 m and xm mobile are all attractive. and they're all down. >> you talked about the jobs report just a moment ago.

let's talk about that. that is the next big thing on the checklist. we came off of a pretty lousy jobs report for the month of december. if the january one is also not so good, is that going to be a reason to sell? and conversely, what if it's a good report? is that an all clear to buy? >> what an important question. for the people who don't follow this on a day-to-day basis, that's going to be really important to what's going on in house prices and stock prices generally around the world. the reason i say that, one of the reasons i feel sanguine the, central banks beginning with the federal reserve of the united states said we learned from our mistakes in the past, 2008. we're not going to do that, not going to do the great depression. we're going to support the financial markets to the extent we can to help the economy to grow jobs. if the number on friday for the jobs creation is a bad number, meaning a very low number, they will then have to reassess where

they are. they the federal reserve of the united states. and the other central banks. so i actually feel we have our backs being watched by the federal reserve in terms of the stocks. i actually believe they would slow their taper if we got a bad labor -- i don't think it's going to happen. people much smarter than i am are saying that the jobs number will be okay to a surprise to the up side. so if that happens then the market will say that's okay as well. >> all right. so just one last question. you've been in this business a long time. you've seen your share of pull backs and crashes and worse. how does this selloff that we are just starting into, how does this compare with all the other ones that you've seen over the years? >> this one does not have the force a zephyr. it's compared to -- when i came into the business the market was in a recession and in a bear market. and the economy was in stagflation, double-digit

inflation, crazy stuff. there were reasons for people to very concerned about financial assets. today we have the opposite. you get the ups and downs in the market, doesn't feel good when they go down. i don't like the phrase buying opportunity because it means i own things like ge that went down. but having said that, i feel pretty good about the backdrop of what's going on. so i don't really consider this to be much -- you have japan which was up 56% a year ago. they're off 12%. that's still a pretty good deal. even people there can't feel too bad. up 30%, down 7 or 8%, that's not so bad. down 5% now after today. >> all right. always reassuring words from you, mike. thanks for coming on the program. we've been speaking with mike holland of holland and company. still ahead on the program, a target executive warned congress that credit card breaches will become very common. but who's responsible for protecting shoppers? retailers or the banks that issue the cards?

a little piece of paradise getting some bad news today. the s & p ratings services slashed its ratings on puerto rican bonds into so-called junk territory. the firm put all the island's debt on watch for more possible downgrades. 1,000 miles away a busy day on capitol hill. the nearly $1 trillion farm bill is now a done deal in congress. the senate passed the long-delayed legislation. it trims food stamps for the poor but expand federal crop insurance. it ends direct payments to farmers and consolidates agricultural problems. it will be now sent to president

obama to sign it into law. in washington the congressional budget office released its estimate for the next fiscal year's federal budget deficit. as usual it's full of some surprises and some controversy. john harwood joins us now from washington with more. so john, let's first start out with just the basics. what is the cbo's forecast of the budget which will be the smallest since president obama took office. >> reporter: they show $514 billion for the current fiscal year, about $44 billion less than they estimated a year ago. and more importantly, they say that the deficit is going to be in the range of 3% of the size of the economy, 3% of gdp, through the end of obama's presidency. remember that early in his presidency the deficit was 10% of gdp. and that drew a lot of alarm. the near-term picture is good. longer term it's more problem eight because of babier boomer retirements and because the ceo has downgraded estimates of

growth over the next ten years. >> i was just saying a moment ago there are always some surprises and controversy in this report. today some of the controversy was about the impact of the affordable care act's effects on the deficit and also on jobs. so what's the story? clarify what the headline said. >> reporter: sthe cbo said that the equivalent of 2 million people fewer would be in the workforce by 2017. why is that the case? is it because employers will hire less? no. what they said was it's because fewer workers will feel the need to work because they've got options for getting health care other than work, and they've got subsidies from the government. they said part of it is that because the subsidies phase out the more money you make, some people will choose to work fewer hours. so those are things that may be good for individual workers, but they're a problem for the economy as a whole. because less labor output means

less growth in the economy. >> so when you add it all up, what the cbo says about the deficit and affordable care act and jobs and growth, what's the bottom line? >> reporter: the bottom line is more debate. look, the problematic picture at the highest level of importance is growth in the economy going forward. that was not a good number. it showed that it's going down. on the other hand, if people are feeling better off because they have health care and choose not to work, that's not so bad for those individuals. and two other things that the administration is going to point to, the cbo said that the obamacare health premiums are 15% lower than estimated, and they also said that there is no compelling evidence that we are shifting to a part-time economy as a result of this law. >> okay. all good stuff. thank you so much, john. john harwood reporting from washington. and some more news out of d.c. today as executives from some big-name retailers explained to a senate panel how tense of millions of credit and accident card users had their

data stolen and what retailers can do about it. but today's hearing is fuelling another battle. this one with credit card issuers and banks on how to step up safety measures to prevent more massive breaches. amy javers has the story. >> please stand and raise your right hand. >> reporter: it was a day for target to face the music on capitol hill in the wake of a massive data breach that affected up to 70 million americans. >> to begin, i want to say how deeply sorry we are. >> reporter: and target wasn't alone. a neiman marcus executive explained his company was stunned to find itself the victim of an extremely sophisticated cyber attack on 77 of its 85 stores. >> we have never before been subjected to any sort of significant cyber security intrusion. >> we all want to stop these attacks. >> reporter: one senate bill would set a standard for companies to disclose data breaches and require companies to protect consumer databases. >> this is a crime that happens

daily. >> reporter: now there's a new fight between retailers whose data is being stolen and the banks incurring the costs of reimbursing consumers and replacing hacked cards. the bankers made their frustration clear in a separate hearing this week. >> we're going to make sure that customers are made whole and have zero liability. who's going to pay the bill? is it going to be target or the banks? >> we as banks shoulder that responsibility. we're the ones reimbursed. >> target reimburses you then. >> no they do not. >> the retailers put the blame right back on the banks. >> what the card companies effectively say to merchants is that even though the sensitive information is visibly printed on the card, even though security information can be lifted off a mag strike by a reasonable sophisticated 12-year-old, and even though signatures are virtually worthless form of authentication, it is your responsibility to guard that information at all costs. >> it's clear that figuring out who has to foot the bill for all these steadily increasing hack attacks is going to be the key to the battle on capitol hill.

facebook went through a rough patch. but seemingly overnight he transformed facebook into a mobile powerhouse that has 945 million monthly active mobile users and over half its ad revenue comes from mobile. >> most companies i think probably would have made sure their business was in good shape first. we decided we care most about building the best service we can. we're going to focus on doing that first. the result of that was that we improved the product, but we went through this year where our business wasn't as good as people wanted it to be. >> reporter: now zuckerberg says growth lies in helping people communicate in different ways with apps like facebook's instagram and its new reader app paper which launched monday. there's going to be the core facebook experience you've gotten to know over the last ten years. we'll focus on improving that. but a lot of the next few years will be about building new great experiences for people that help people share and consume content in new ways as well. >> reporter: if facebook succeeds in a decade it will look like a very different company. for "nightly business report,"
