Boeing (BA) is advising airlines to inspect 737 Max cabin bolts, raising minor supply concerns for the aerospace manufacturer. However, Third Bridge’s Global Sector Lead for Industrials Materials and Energy Peter McNally tells Yahoo Finance Live that “the bigger issues” were crashes in prior years, so these bolts “could be a limited issue” by comparison. With supply chain strains lingering but air travel demand booming, McNally doesn’t expect much order impact for the “workhorse” 737 Max model. However, he notes “deliveries have been an issue” with backlogs and supplier constraints persisting. Given pressures to lift output and Airbus (AIR.PA) commanding more market share, McNally says it’s difficult to see how […]
One of the biggest themes in 2023 was the struggle in the housing market. High mortgage rates made it more difficult for people to buy homes and people who had homes didn’t want to sell them in fear of losing their low mortgage rate. A lack of existing home inventory plagued the market, though homebuilders were able to take advantage. Meredith Whitney LLC Founder Meredith Whitney, who is known for correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis, tells Yahoo Finance’s Brad Smith and Brian Sozzi that as more baby boomers retire and look to downsize, more inventory should come onto the market. Whitney says that since most home mortgages are originated […]

CFRA’s Chief Investment Strategist Sam Stovall joined Yahoo Finance Live to share his optimistic 2024 market outlook, stating “next year will be a surprisingly good year.” He notes multiple supportive factors, including 2024 being an election year with consistently positive historical returns. While overbought conditions near-term could spur pullbacks, Stovall sees no real fear of a bear market now. He expects any dips to follow “a continued advance”, rather than precede declines. Stovall also observes that an anticipated Fed pause on hikes could lift valuations across assets – “lifting all boats” in size, style, sector and industry. During past Fed reprieves, areas like financials and real estate tended to outperform. […]
The Magnificent Seven stole the show in 2023—leading the rally and pulling the S&P (^GSPC) higher by more than 23%. This rally could continue, but the other 493 would have to catch up says Evans May Wealth Managing Partner Brooke May. May states “we think there is some opportunity there, as we’ve seen the breadth of the market improve, meaning more names participating, we think that’s going to give the market another leg up.” May sees “really good deals and values,” including Charles Schwab (SCHW). #stockmarket #youtube #yahoofinance About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, portfolio management resources, comprehensive market data, advanced tools, and more […]
Tesla CEO Elon Musk (TSLA) has come under fire for his comments on X (formerly Twitter). But Canaccord Genuity Managing Director George Gianarikas isn’t concerned about what sort of impact it could have on the EV maker. Gianarikas argues that Musk’s antics are not new and that “he’s who you have to take in to invest in Tesla’s stock.” Tesla has missed some targets recently, but Gianarikas argues that when Musk is giving his goals, he’s not just trying to please investors and Wall Street, but that “he’s trying to inspire the three, four, five companies that he’s the CEO of and he navigates.” Gianarikas points to Tesla’s full-self driving […]
As mortgage rates ease, Redfin Head of Economic Research Chen Zhao joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the 2024 housing outlook after a “largely frozen” 2023 market. Zhao expects next year’s homebuying season to be “better” than 2023 when inventory was low, rates were high, and prices sidelined buyers. As those headwinds abate, she anticipates a “transactions increase” in housing sales. After a rapid acceleration in prices during the pandemic, Zhao predicts a 1% decline in prices for 2024. Zhao argues given high mortgage rates and high prices, housing has “hit a ceiling for affordability,” and, as a result, prices can’t really move much higher. #realestate #mortgages #youtube About Yahoo […]

After paring back on Tesla (TSLA) shares in the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK), the firm has recently started to add to its position again. Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood tells Yahoo Finance’s Julie Hyman that the decisions by General Motors (GM) and Ford (F) to delay some of their EV investments was a “telltale” sign that Tesla is in position to gain market share, calling the automakers’ decisions “puzzling.” The move comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) is suffering from a decline in ad revenue, raising concerns he may have to sell Tesla shares. Wood, however, doesn’t seemed to be concerned, claiming that the platform’s traffic […]
