The outspoken CEO told Cramer that competitors like Verizon have been stuck in a perpetual game of catch-up with his company, which he said took an estimated 250 percent of all of the industry’s post-paid phone growth in the first quarter. “We have had consistent growth, and, you know, whether it’s an up quarter or a down quarter, whether it’s highly competitive or not, our growth continues and I’m very, very pleased that we now have over 73 million customers,” Legere said. T-Mobile also upped i

Two massive hacks under her watch, disclosed last year, further eroded the likelihood Verizon would take Mayer on board. The reconstituted Oath team is tantamount to a house cleaning of Yahoo. Cahan oversaw a team that built Yahoo’s mobile division from $11 million in 2012 to nearly $2 billion last year. Its 2.3 million common-stock stake is worth about $48 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. It also owns 2.3 million in preferred shares.

Sonny Perdue to be agriculture secretary in President Donald Trump’s administration as the farming industry looks to Washington for help amid a downturn in the market. He has owned several agricultural businesses, but isn’t related to or affiliated with the food company Perdue or the poultry producer Perdue Farms. Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said Perdue will help facilitate recovery in small American towns. At his hearing, he pledged to help senator

For example, Cramer was wondering why medical device maker C. R. Bard’s stock had not come down in months. Bard’s stock,” Cramer said. Regional bank KeyCorp’s stock had a similarly belated rally on its strong earnings because it reported before France’s results hit. “If Trump gets legislation passed, that would be fantastic for the market, but you really need to stop banking on anything that involves Congress,” Cramer said.

T-Mobile has had customer and financial growth “the rest of the industry would die for,” CEO John Legere told CNBC on Monday. 3 wireless carrier said on Monday it added more subscribers than expected in the first quarter. However, it reported $9.55 billion in revenue, just missing analyst expectations of $9.62 billion. While Legere touted T-Mobile’s growth and said he was “thrilled” with the results, he also slammed his competitors, namely Verizon. “They haven’t gained any customers since 2015,

The fact that Anthem wants to cut ties with Express Scripts is “perplexing,” Express Scripts CEO Tim Wentworth told CNBC on Monday. Shares of Express Scripts fell more than 15 percent after the bell on Monday. Last month, a federal judge dismissed two of the six counterclaims that Express Scripts raised in health insurer Anthem’s $15 billion lawsuit claiming it charged too much for drugs. Anthem had sued Express Scripts in March 2016, accusing it of excessive pricing and operational failures. It

Hasbro’s latest digital venture, Hasbro Gaming Crate, plays on the pre-paid subscription trends brought about by companies like Unilever’s Dollar Shave Club. The service, which launches this summer, will send a package of three never-before-played games chosen by gaming experts to subscribers four times a year. And we’ve really thought about this in a multitude of ways,” the CEO said. “And then, of course, inclusion,” Goldner added. Mad Money Twitter – Jim Cramer Twitter – Facebook – Instagram –

The dominance of Facebook and Google when it comes to advertising could “crush” smaller players like Snapchat — unless regulators step in, said one author and professor. Meanwhile, Facebook has introduced copycat features to rival Snapchat. One solution, Taplin said, is to treat companies like Google as a “utility” that’s required to share its patents with the rest of the community. “The problem is, the rise of Google, Facebook and Amazon has meant the fall of the creative economy,” Taplin said

Neighborhoods with high tipping points are highly desirable among buyers, who often overpay in terms of property sale price, said Asif Ghafoor, chief executive of Spacious Hong Kong. The average tipping point stands at 5 years for Hong Kong permanent residents (PRs) and is three times higher for non-PRs at 15 years. Non-PRs pay a 30 percent stamp duty when purchasing property in Hong Kong. In prestigious neighborhoods, such as The Peak, Shouson Hill, Jardines Lookout and Kowloon Tong, tipping po

Morgan Stanley shared its favorite internet stock picks for the rest of the year. “We continue to focus on revisions and areas where the market’s ‘narrative’ can change,” internet analyst Brian Nowak wrote in a report to clients Sunday entitled “Who will outperform from here through the year of investment?” Here are four companies that Morgan Stanley recommended and their price targets. Alphabet’s “continued expense discipline leads to margin expansion and upward revisions on EPS estimates.” The

Netflix shareholders want the company to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Netflix’s board didn’t let the typo go unacknowledged. The Board believes that this proposal, cut-and-pasted from one company to another, was not drafted in and is not focused on the best interests of Netflix or its stockholders.” “For the foregoing reasons, the Board unanimously believes that this proposal is not in the best interests of Netflix or our stockholders, and recommends that you vote ‘AGAINST’ Proposal Seve

The U.S. State Department’s recent promotion of President Donald Trump’s Florida resort is drawing criticism from Democrats and ethics advocates. In an April 4 blog post that has been republished by several U.S. embassies abroad, Mar-a-Lago is described as “Trump’s Florida estate,” where he has hosted foreign leaders. As president, Trump has visited the property seven times, and its restaurant fills up when he’s in town. The State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. T

Amazon is not the stock “to get aggressive on,” at least not right now, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney told CNBC on Monday. Despite being a longtime bull on the stock, with a price target of $900, Mahaney says Amazon is a big question mark. On “Power Lunch,” Mahaney said there are two issues with the stock. First, he thinks that Wall Street is underestimating the amount Amazon is investing in new initiatives, and may be surprised by a lower outlook for the second quarter. Mahaney says

Saudi Aramco may not be worth $2 trillion, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the company’s highly anticipated plan to go public. If correct, that would mean the initial $2 trillion valuation figure is off by a little more than the combined market valuation of Amazon and Netflix. Saudi Aramco did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. Late March, Saudi Arabia gave Aramco a tax cut, which one analyst said could add about $1 trillion to the comp

First, there are dozens of earnings on Tuesday, including Dow components like Caterpillar, Dupont, 3M, and McDonald’s. According to Thomson Reuters, 77 percent of the S&P 500 companies that have reported already have beaten earnings per share estimates. “You could make a case for 90 percent of the earnings being important. Confidence has been strong, and analysts look at it as a leading indicator for stocks. Confidence is also a ‘soft indicator’ and those have been performing better than some of

In total, Canada exported around C$8.6 billion (around $6.37 billion) worth of softwood lumber in 2015, according to Canadian government data, which indicated the country was the world’s fourth-largest forest product exporter. “It’s not just the lumber,” he said, noting the U.S. administration had also been rumbling about potential tariffs on dairy products. In 2016, Canada exported around C$112.6 million (around $83 million) worth of dairy products to the U.S., while it imported around C$557.3

As for “sell in May” this year, Stovall said Trump’s election brought in a strong run for the stock market, up about 10 percent since Election Day. Barack Obama saw a 2.8 percent gain in his first 100 days, and an 18.7 percent gain in the six months of May through October, in 2009. But that was also when the stock market bounced back, after bottoming in the financial crisis, in March of that year. George W. Bush also had the worst sell in May period, down 15.2 percent in 2001 as the tech bubble

Saudi Arabia took steps to reverse some cutbacks on worker benefits and ministers’ salaries — a move that could make the kingdom even more reliant on getting a higher price for oil, analysts said. It also suggests the kingdom may be even more eager to sign on to a new OPEC production deal to stabilize oil prices, analysts say. Saudi Arabia over the weekend also announced some shifts in high-level positions. Prince Khaled bin Salman was named ambassador to the U.S., and Prince Abdulaziz bin Salma
