  • Predictions about Gen Z's income 'are wrong': Re/Max chair

    Affordability continues to be a major headwind for Americans trying to enter the housing market. With interest rates and mortgage rates still high, what does it mean for younger homebuyers? Re/Max (RMAX) Co-Founder and Chairman Dave Liniger joins Yahoo Finance for the latest edition of Real Estate: The New Reality to discuss his views on younger generations' ability to afford a home. Liniger acknowledges, "housing affordability is a terrible challenge for everybody," making it difficult for younger generations to secure homeownership. With elevated rates compounded by an imbalance between supply and demand in the housing market, Liniger states that prices will continue to rise. Regarding the spending power of Millennials, Liniger expresses that "predictions are wrong" and that this generation is "much thriftier" in their abilities to find savings opportunities and manage their debt. However, Liniger suggests that individuals might have to settle for 6% mortgage rates, referring to it as "the mortgage rate of the future."

  • The party is dying down for luxury retail: Fmr. LVMH chair

    Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulators seek to block luxury fashion brand Tapestry's (TPR) acquisition of Capri Holdings (CPRI) initially announced in August 2023. Former Chairman of LVMH North America Pauline Brown sits down with Market Domination Anchors Julie Hyman and Jared Blikre to weigh in on the headline — stating she was "surprised" by the FTC's intervention — and where fashion retailers are finding the most demand in international markets. "Most of these brands right now are just trying to survive. Fashion at the luxury end in particular is a very unforgiving business and there are not too many I can think of where 100% of the product line turns over every few months and economies of scale do play in in a way that can be very, very hard for these upstarts," Brown says about broader luxury retail trends.  "I think the advantage that many of them that you're referencing may have is that they can get to the customer directly. They don't have to go through wholesale accounts which could be prohibitively expensive. They don't have to open their own store the way they did in decades past. So there's more access to the market but there's also a lot more noise in the market..."

  • How Cann advertises THC drinks despite tight restrictions

    Cann drinks are THC-infused beverages that are an alternative to traditional booze, and according to the company, give you a similar buzz without a potential hangover. Cann Co-Founder and CEO Jake Bullock joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into the company's products, its new partnerships, and what consumers and investors can expect going forward. Bullock outlines the tone of the challenges with his products: "It's really, really hard to advertise cannabis products...there are marketing restrictions and there's restrictions in all of the states in which we operate have very strict rules, think about alcohol but even more restrictive and then you have some of the big digital advertising properties like Meta (META), Google (GOOG,GOOGL) in their terms of service they restrict this type of advertising, so we have to be very careful. He continues with one of the ways his company got around this: "We built this on the brand on the back of a lot of celebrity investors that had big megaphones, people like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson doing ads for us, talking to their followings about it."

  • Why Spotify's earnings underline gross margin 'sustainability'

    Shares of Spotify (SPOT) soared during Tuesday's afternoon trading session,after the company's first-quarter earnings surpassed analysts' estimates. Raymond James Analyst Andrew Marok joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss his bullish stance on Spotify's stock moving forward. "For the first time," Marok says, Spotify has shown they have "a double focus" on growing both users and profitability. Spotify had been "stuck on the gross margin side" for several years, but now it's gaining margins on the operational side due to "a company-wide focus on being cost-conscious," Marok believes as he emphasizes his bullish outlook on the music streamer. Marok highlights that Spotify's earnings have demonstrated "sustainability in its gross margins," attributing the jump to various factors such as "cost efficiencies on streaming delivery," new pricing increases, and "better focus on their marketplace products." He stated that these factors can be "used indefinitely," signaling continued growth in the margin outlook.

  • Citi sees chance of Fed rate cut in June or July: Economist

    The Federal Reserve's case on whether or not to cut interest rates in 2024 is still not settled, leading many Wall Street analysts to adjust their forecasts for a market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) coming to terms with a revised rate reality. Citigroup strategists, however, have stayed firm in their beliefs that there will be rate cuts as early as June or July. Citi Economist Veronica Clark joins Market Domination to discuss why Citi's Fed forecasts aren't budging. Clark states plainly: "We have a base case for June still and it very well could be July, but I think the fundamental difference for us is that we really do see this Fed as having a more dovish reaction function. It's not that we see some magical slowing in the inflation data, if anything we think inflation is pretty sticky, but we think this is a Fed that is looking at some of this labor market data, even survey data that we had this morning and the PMI services employment number, and really getting worried that we might be entering a weaker labor market and really wants to prevent that."

  • Tesla stock pops on plans to ramp up affordable car plans

    Tesla (TSLA) reported first quarter results that missed analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Adjusted earnings per share of $0.45 fell short of the $0.52 Wall Street was expecting. Revenue of $21.3 billion fell short of the estimated $22.3 billion. Operating income also missed, $1.17 billion versus the $1.53 billion estimate. However, the company said it plans to accelerate the launch of new models, including a more affordable one. Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman and Jared Blikre are joined by Roth MKM Senior Research Analyst Craig Irwin to break down the results. On the earnings, Irwin credits Tesla for better-than-expected gross margin results, but says the company "needs to start growing again." Irwin gives his thoughts on what to expect from the conference call for Tesla's earnings: "They're going to give it a shot to get us excited about robotics and AI on the call. Elon has got some explaining to do, FSD, the price was only ever supposed to go up and we got 12,000 to 8,000 this last week and I guess subscriptions are no longer $200 a month or $100 a month, and they're really pushing hard on FSD and personally, I'm a bear, but there are people out there that like it. We'd need to see attach rate goes up, and for there to be some elasticity of demand here. I'm kind of skeptical."

  • Investor playbook: The biggest earnings surprises so far

    Wall Street gears up for a number of big tech earnings this week as many of the tech giants hold much of the value of the S&P 500 (^GSPC). As earnings from the Magnificent Seven roll out, investors may be looking for opportunities to enter the market. Simplify Asset Management Chief Strategist Michael Green and Wealth Enhancement Group Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor Nicole Webb join Market Domination to discuss investment opportunities during this big week of tech earnings and beyond. Webb gives her overview of earnings so far: "To us, it's just all of this playing out of where does the earnings growth for the rest of the year come from, and we had anticipated a deceleration from those mega tech names in the back half of this year. And so kind of below the surface we see this churning, the broadening that everyone is talking about and some of that relative outperformance from places like the equal weight S&P (^SPXEW)." Green follows up with: "I think the biggest surprises that have come out of earnings in general have been things like General Motors' (GM) announcement today that was accompanied by an astonishing buyback where they shrank the quantity of shares by around 17%. This is in contrast, that level of buyback is unprecedented for many of these companies for that to be happening in open markets. And it's just highlighting that the exceptionally cheap areas of the market as long as there's a little bit of support that's coming in through the interest rate space, that really looks like that could be an area of focus."

ImmunityBio Executive Chairman Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, joins Market Domination alongside Yahoo Finance's health reporter Anjalee Khemlani to discuss the company's plans following this pivotal approval.

  • Maybe it's time to move away from tech, Mag. 7: Strategist

    Several names in the Magnificent Seven are gearing up to release their first-quarter earnings, with much of Wall Street waiting with bated breath as these tech giants hold much of the value of the S&P 500 (^GSPC). Despite seeing historic gains with these names, some on Wall Street grow concerned over future performance, causing hesitation for further investment in the tech sector. Ladenburg Asset Management CEO and Osaic Chief Market Strategist Phil Blancato joins Market Domination to give insight into the upcoming week of tech earnings and what investors need to keep in mind when buying into the sector. Blancato gives advice as to how to proceed during times of uncertainty: "If you have money there and you haven't taken any profits especially with a bounce like this, I do have a CAPE [ratio] moving some of that money away in the traditionally more defensive sectors... I want to see it earn a dividend. I think the energy sector is really underpriced, the financials have really come back and are quite strong and have hung in there real well."  He continues: "The other parts of the market that have better valuations are going to get you through the next two quarters. The next two quarters are difficult because we are seeing a gradual slowdown in the labor market, for example, you look at the number of open jobs versus the number of people looking, that number's continuing to narrow."

  • Bridgewater Co-CIO shares 3 ways to weather volatile markets

    Markets have been volatile in April as investors adjust to the idea the Federal Reserve may not cut rates as much as they had hoped. So, how should investors go about building a more resilient portfolio? Karen Karniol-Tambour, Co-Chief Investment Officer at Bridgewater Associates, has some suggestions. Her first suggestion is to shift asset allocations so that the portfolio has less exposure to stocks.  Her second tip is to "prioritize resilience" within your current holdings. For example, for those with a stock-heavy portfolio, she advises asking "What kind of stocks are likely to be more resilient whatever comes?" to determine which stocks may be worth holding on to given the scenario you are most concerned about.  Karniol-Tambour's third piece of advice is "to say 'whatever I hold, what's going to really do well when everything else falls... things that will really do well when other things do poorly." She admits this is the most difficult tip to put into action, given that involves timing the market. Watch the video above to hear which region Karniol-Tambour says investors should pay more attention to. Be sure to check out the full interview with Karen Karniol-Tambour.
