courtney reagan now with more on walmart and what was behind the company's big decision. >> reporter: the country's largest private employer will spend a billion dollars to increase wages for half a million of its 1.3 million workers. improve its scheduling and offer new training programs for career advancement. currently, only 6,000 walmart workers make federal minimum wage but starting in april, wages for walmart's u.s. employees will be at least $9 and then at least $10 an hour by february next year. department managers will also see pay improve. >> part of walmart's problem has been concerns around inventories being out of stock. it's been about bad customer service, long lines at the checkout counters. there's been a lot of disgruntled workers. and fraj frankly, this does sound like a step to perhaps correct some of the past evils. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with cnbc doug mcmillan said the pay increases ultimately bring sales dollars back into his store. >> it will play through retention, the ability to hire the talent we need to hire. i'm confident those things will

as courtney reagan tells us, investors will pay close attention. >> reporter: consumers may be looking forward to ditching winter coats for spring apparel, but retailers are having trouble getting that spring merchandise in stores. as disputes over labor contracts continue the west coast ports responsible for nearly 40% of all u.s. cargo are shut down for a second straight weekend, which means merchandise is stuck at sea or in containers. far from the intended retail destination. >> i see some stores that are out of balance, still featuring what i'll call winter and holiday goods when at this time of year that should be relegated to the back racks on sale and the front should be all fresh new merchandise. the balance isn't right. >> reporter: target best buy, michael kors and ralph lauren have brought in orders early to protect inventory levels and using other points of entry and distribution to get merchandise into and through the country. container volume at l.a. long beach and oakland ports dropped 25% or more in january from the year prior, but despite the lower volume the journal

joining me, cnbc's courtney reagan and tim seymour.ings off with the score card with 55% of the s&p 500 reporting so far, call it hump day, 73% reported above analyst estimates. 11% met estimates. and 16% came in below analyst forecasts. most important is the ratio of negative to positive future guidance. at this moment, it's a very high 8.0. we have seen guidance -- we haven't really seen guidance this negative in a year. eight times more negative preannouncements than positive preannouncements. that's something we'll want to watch. when it comes to today's afternoon earnings, courtney you're watching one that's been in your wheel house for ages, as long as it's been a public company, under armour, we're looking for the sole, s-o-l-e as opposed to the company's soul, s-o-u-l. >> we are looking for earnings to be up 32 cents on revenues of 829 million, up 24%. big expectations here. if we want to talk about what's going on with the sole, it's footwear. lots of analysts talking about that, whether or not they think shares will go higher

melissa, back to you. >> thank you, courtney reagan. dan nathan, wasn't this a triangle of death at one point? >> it did get killed. but here's the thing. this is a great example of a u.s. company that does not face the exposure from a strong dollar, and their consumers are benefiting from lower oil at the pump. but here's the thing. the stocks already made the move in front of this. and courtney just said, they reiterated 10% eps growth. the stock is trading at 31 times that expected growth. so to me, after you've had this massive run over the last six months, i don't really think you're chasing here. i think the stock is back to expensive again. it is a show me story again. >> i'd much rather go with celestial. i agree with you on that. obviously getting into wal-mart. pete and i were just talking about going to our local wal-mart because they have a whole aisle of organic stuff. >> sun trust moved up their target from 50 to 62. so the aggressiveness there, i understand that if this trades at a very high valuation. when you look at th

courtney keel kealy, al jazerra. >> joining us is counsel with the uc berkeley clinic.s push now for more secrecy over executions? what do you think is behind that? >> well, it's difficult to speak for the states. we certainly see the increased secrecy happening at the same time as states are experimenting with new drugs and new drug formulas. and so you know, when they work in tandem, it certainly raises questions about the states trying to hide exactly what it is they are doing and hide the important details about their execution procedures. >> why the -- what is the significance, the importance of more transparency as your group sees it? >> sure, well, i think there is two things. there is what the new laws are doing. and what they are in effect what they are doing is increasing the breadth of secrecy. so increasing the types of information that's kept secret and at the same time, making it more secret and so, instead of just making limited information confidential, they are putting more and more types of information about executions including details about the drugs

courtney, get ready. we're going to find out if lower gas prices help, and friday consumer sentiment. what does it all mean for your investment dollars? let's bring in zach, head of global strategy for irn vest net and robert luna and cio. zach, we laid out all kinds of stuff, but there's other things out there. what is on your big radar for next week? >> yeah. i mean, actually in all due respect, a phrase that i heard because it usually means that you don't respect whoever is saying it at all, and i do respect you profoundly. i don't think this is a particularly rich news time, and, therefore, you are going to have these factors that are going to be able to impact markets. probably disproportionate to their fund mental worth. greece today is in the news again. s&p downgraded. i can see a lot kind of the gre the ukraine stories which are important for their own right but they're not necessarily important for how many iphones they're going to sell or whether mcdonald's is going to have a turnaround. i'm ju

courtney reagan is here. courtney got an exclusive interview with the cfo. >> i sure do.o much for joining us. you know the first question i have to ask you, of course is that on the media k5u8 you said you were surprised by the strength that you saw the back end of swran. first of all, why were you surprised, and second of all, where did the strength come from? >> yeah. i think, you know in the middle of january we said we thought a 3% comp for the fourth quarter ended up today reporting a 3.8% comp, which was a pleasant surprise for us. we have way great discount on discounts of black friday holiday, and all of those gift cards come back into the store in january. really bringing all that sales back in january. we think the stores did a phenomenal job bouncing back from a busy fourth quarter or holiday season and then bouncing back getting ready with new product, having all that ready when people came back into the store. people look to start the new year in a healthy way. >> one of the initiatives you had was free shipping for all orders. no threshold on-line. what was

courtney kealy reports. >> the execution lasted nearly half an hour. father lawrence hummer witnessed the execution. >> he after two minutes began to gag audibly. and literally easy literally gag. this was simply monstrous. >> reporter: in oklahoma, clayton locket's execution. >> he lifted his head off the gurney and appeared to be in distress. >> after being is he sedated. death by lethal injection should take at the longest 15 minutes. because of a shortage of traditional drugs states are using alternative drug cocktails and in some cases they have not worked as planned. the new drugs have not been proper reply tested and that's raising suspicions about quality in regulation. >> this gets to a basic philosophical question about what's happening. we are now in an era and last year was part of it where they are trying drugs that have never been used before in executions or combinations and dosages and they are doing that on human beings. >> the type of type of medicine was not the question. the execution teams failed to properly insert needle. they fai

courtney kealy, al jazeera. >> today you saw the european central bank reject the plans of the leftist new greek government. to access more funds. do you think this divide between greece and the eu is too wide to overcome and what would the consequences be for grease and europe? >> it is certainly a very wide divide and let's keep in mind, the greek foreign minister met with the ecb argue or saying in a statement that it's not likely or it's not likely that an agreement will be reached under the current terms or that it is uncertain that an agreement will be reached. they're not cut off from funding entirely and that's important for the greek banks to be able to do business. they can access the central banks without getting into technicality. this is a shot across the bow by the ecb saying, stop talking nice, you got to deliver something. yes you might be running out of money and by the way northern europe might be all in favor of that rather than giving in because if greece gets its way too much well then other countries like spain want to follow suit so they're going to say hey stick

courtney kealy, al jazeera. >> last hour my colleague richelle carey spoke with megan mccracken. she responded to why the average american should care about the increasing secrecy surrounding executions. >> i think there's broad based belief that transparency is good government. and so here, where the government is carrying out its most extreme criminal sanction, that holds true. transparency still is good government. i really think it's as simple as that. this, in addition to the problems related to the executions themselves, the way these secrecy statutes function is they restrict speech, they restrict the public's access to information about executions, and they limit speech about a somewhat unpopular topic so it's restriction on speech, in addition to how executions themselves are actually carried out. >> mccracken said that while majorities of americans support death penalty she sees the tide of opinion changing. >>> purpose of law was to help develop old and abandoned buildings. some condo owners, some old have the power to push them out. sheila macvicar has the story. >> i

courtney reagan is here to explain why. hi courtney. >> so listen to this. lower oil prices do help consumers by lowering the price at the pump there are regions of the country that could be disprofortion gnatportionately hurt. if oil companies are laying off employees or wages decline, pockets of consumers in oil-producing regions will lose discretionary spending. why is that a problem? wells fargo looked at the top oil producing states in the u.s. and which retail verselilers have a higher concentration of stores in those areas. more than half of all stage stores locations are in oil-producing states. similarly, boot barn has 38% of stores in these regions. the company's ceo says the worries are overdone. a quarter of walmart's u.s. stores are located in these nine oil reliant regions as well as a quarter of ross stores. jcpenney is only slightly less concentrated with 22% of its store base in those regions. a fifth of target stores are located in areas dependent on the oil economy. kohl's, tjx, macy's and nordstrom follow with 16% and 15% respectively. bu
