  • Intel's chip sector strength is undiminished: Strategist

    Shares of Intel (INTC) are lower in after-hours trading on Thursday after the company posted its first-quarter earnings, revealing a revenue of $12.72 billion, a gain of 8.8% year-over-year. Revenue narrowly beat estimates of $12.71 billion, however, the company missed out on estimates for its second-quarter forecast, placing revenue between $12.5 billion to $13.5 billion against an expected $13.63 billion. While Intel may be down, some still believe the chipmaker is certainly not out. The Futurum Group Chief Market Strategist Cory Johnson joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss Intel's earnings and how the company may still be able to turn it around. Johnson elaborates on why Intel is in such a strong position: "They have received more money from the CHIPS Act than anyone else out there, so they are in a really strong position building out their facilities all over the country, particularly in Columbus, Ohio... They are clearly pushing ahead really fast... that is good for the foundry business... The foundry business ultimately is going to be very difficult to do, but they're pushing ahead at really having cutting-edge foundry services and as you mentioned, in the angstrom levels at the real cutting-edge, which we haven't had in this country for many, many years."

  • Microsoft is monetizing AI right now: Analyst

    Microsoft (MSFT) reported third quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, with its intelligent cloud revenue revenue posting surprising strength. As a result, shares of the tech giant are higher Thursday after the market close. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss Microsoft's results. Zino attributes Microsoft's success to its strategic investments in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which have enabled the company to effectively monetize those offerings. He highlights that this achievement is not sector-wide, giving Microsoft a distinct competitive advantage and saying the strong numbers are likely to continue into 2025. Addressing the potential impact of Microsoft's Copilot on its financial performance, Zino says "that's going to take time." He explains that the company still faces the challenge of persuading customers to adopt and "pay for these Copilots," an issue that extends beyond Microsoft to the entire enterprise software industry.

  • The market is saying there's no 'growth problem': Strategist

    Despite Thursday's weaker-than-expected GDP figure, which hinted at a slowing economy, Truist Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chief Market Strategist Keith Lerner joins Market Domination to explain why this number doesn't accurately reflect the economy's growth trajectory. Lerner argues that the GDP data was fine "underneath the hood," showing that consumers and businesses were still spending, and underlying demand remained robust. He notes, "the market's hanging in there relatively well," emphasizing that a deeper examination of the GDP components revealed "there's still solid economic growth." On the inflation front, Lerner acknowledges that he had anticipated a post-pandemic economic slowdown. However, even with solid growth, he remains optimistic that inflation can be brought down to the 2% target. Addressing concerns about stagflation, he states, "It's a risk, not our base case." Lerner points to the strong performance of the energy (XLE), financials (XLF), and industrials (XLI) sectors as evidence that "the market is telling you that we don't have a growth problem at this point." This market behavior reinforces his view that the underlying economic fundamentals remain robust, despite the weaker GDP reading.

  • How a Fed rate cut delay is impacting commercial real estate

    The impact of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates higher for longer has filtered into a large swath of the economy, including commercial real estate. According to the Wall Street Journal, big banks have set aside large reserves in case the commercial real estate sector begins to truly falter. Marcus & Millichap CEO Hessam Nadji (MMI) joins Yahoo Finance for the latest edition of Real Estate: The New Reality to give insight into to the connections between the Fed cutting interest rates and the sentiment around commercial real estate. Nadji lays out some of the correlation between the Fed and the sector: "There's a direct correlation between the groups, the entire sector's valuation movement, and Fed sentiment. We saw a big run-up in the sector's valuations late last year when interest rates were coming in. The 10-year Treasury had peaked around 5% and then boom, all the way back down to 4% and you saw the stock prices go up accordingly and when the Fed basically changed its mind again given the inflation readings of the last couple of weeks coming in hotter than expected and now the notion of delaying the easing cycle you see the stocks are under pressure again so there's a direct correlation between Fed expectations and interest rates."

  • Chipotle earnings: Limited-time offerings boost results

    Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) are soaring after the company reported better-than-expected first quarter earnings. The restaurant chain posted revenue of $2.7 billion, in line with expectations of $2.67 billion. Additionally, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $13.37, outperforming analysts' projections of $11.66. Same-store sales grew 7%, better than the 5.13% estimate. Placer.ai Head of Analytical Research R.J. Hottovy joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the results. Hottovy attributes the company's strong performance to factors such as product innovation, robust traffic, and operating margin improvements throughout the quarter. He notes that this top-line revenue trend could continue into the second quarter, stating, "not every restaurant operator can say that in this environment." Hottovy also highlights Chipotle's efficient system, which resonates well with consumers. He points out that even when lines are long at Chipotle, customers are willing to wait "because they know they can get through that quickly," a characteristic that is not sector-wide. Lastly, Hottovy emphasizes that Chipotle — from a valuation perspective— still has ample growth opportunities, "particularly in smaller markets."
