At 2016 highs. But we begin with big changes at intel. The company is cutting 11 of its workforce. Its cfo is moving to a new role. And its taking a onetime charge of more than 1 billion in the Second Quarter. This after the dow component reported weaker than expected firstquarter revenue and said the Current Quarter wouldnt be much better. It was that soft outlook for Second Quarter revenue that weighed on shares in afterhours trading. Intels current cfo said the changes at the company are all part of its broader strategy. What we went to do now is accelerate that transition. And so this restructuring is a tool to do that. And what it allows us to do is it allows us to be more efficient, to be more profita e profitable, and to increase investments in some of these new areas. The data center, the memory, internet of things dominic chew goes inside intels results. Reporter theres a reason why intels Earnings Reports are of such interest to investors. Its the worlds biggest maker of computer chips and its seen as an indicator of the Overall Health in the tech industry. This time around the Earnings Report echoed much of the same slowdown in the personal Computer Market but the company said its taking a lot of necessarily steps to transform itself from a company that relies on pcs to one thats focused more on Cloud Computing and the internet of things.

Yahoo reported a decline in revenue as it struggles to grow its Online Search business. Yahoo s earnings per share were slightly better than estimates. Revenue also beat forecasts. Okay, thats nice. But sales were 11 lower than a year ago. And thats not so nice. As for shares, they were volatile in extended trading. Yahoo is also in the process of auctioning off some of its assets. There are reports that verizon is the frontrunner for them. Other social suitors include the private equity firm tpg and yp holdings. Guess who that is, the dij call ad business of what was once yellowpages. Com. Three of the bestperforming dow stocks were the three that reported earnings this morning. Goldman sachs, johnson johnson, and United Health care. The Largest Health insurer in the u. S. Said its making some big changes. An earnings petty and an upbeat forecast for the rest of the year by United Health group. But the biggest u. S. Insurer also said it will shrink its presence in the haikt exchanges. Right now its available in 34 state exchanges. By 2017, it says it will only be in a handful. Losses from the Exchange Business are now expected to reach 650 million this year. Mostly because the health of many new customers in those exchanges is worse than the company had planned on. Also raising guidance for the rest of the year, johnson johnson. It too beat earnings expectations for the First Quarter even as a strong dollar cut into its revenue growth. Pharmaceutical sales, j and js biggest business, grew almost 6 behind a diabetes drug invocana and a blood thinner. J and j says the hunt for growth through acquisitions, buying up smaller companies, is continuing. Well continue to work through various acquisition proposals that we look at. And we want to do the right deal at the right time with the right partner at the right valuation. So were obviously looking very closely at the field. Reporter and more than a few eyebrows must have arched when Goldman Sachs reported earnings Beat Estimates even though they were lower by 60 . Revenue fell 40 . Much worse than most of the other big banks. Chief executive lloyd blank cited challenges across virtually every one of our businesses. And probably none businesser than in its investing and lending unit. That group accounted for more than onethird of goldmans pretax earnings last year. But revenue within that group dropped a whopping 95 . Mostly because the Equity Securities portion of that division reported no revenue at all. Heres a look at how those stocks performed today. All higher by 1. 5 or more. As mentioned at the top of the broadcast, the dow and s p 500 are now at their highs of the year, despite a decline in the tech sector today. And told the Dow Jones Industrial average closed up 49 points at 18,053. Nasdaq lost 19 weighed down by results yesterday from ibm and netflix. We told you about that last night. The s p 500 added about 6. As bob pisani explains, earnings may be the catalyst that pushes stocks to new highs. Reporter its a wellworn piece of wall street mythology, were in a process recession. S p 500 has seen four consecutive declines this the Quarterly Earnings but that might change in the Second Quarter and could be a motivating factor in the markets march toward historic highs. The banks moved up last would be on modestly positive earnings comment tear. Now the industrials turn, honeywell and caterpillar and Illinois Tool Works and General Electric all reports this week. These big industrials are great barometers of the Global Markets because they make a lot of things and sell in dozens of countries. If theres any growth or the lack of it theyre going to see it. Any sort of mildly positive commentary from this group, anything that indicates the Growth Prospects for the Global Economy is even a little better than it was a few months ago, could propel the industrials slightly higher and then push the markets into record territory. Were very close. The s p is less than 2 from an historic high. Nobodys expecting too much. Modest organic growth, some expression of the Global Economy better than it was a few months ago. I know it sounds pretty modest and it is. But in a world of 2 to 2. 5 gdp growth in the u. S. And flat elsewhere, thats what investments look like. For nightly business report, im bob pisani at the new yor despite the comeback in the market our guest tonight says there are still more Downside Risks than upside potential for stocks. He is matt mailly, equity strategist at miller tay back. Nice to see you again. Lets start with side risks. Bob pisani outlined the fact that returns are going to be mod els at best in many sectors. What do you see as is the potential Downside Risks . One of the things we have is on the earnings front. Bob is right, if we can get good reports out of some of these industrial names later this week, that will be positive. But one thing is that a lot of people have been talking about, geez, the first week and a half of earnings have been better than expected. But most of those stocks have been in groups where the stocks have been knocked down and therefore lower earnings expectations have been priced into the stocks. A lot of those industrial names have had nice rallies. You look at u. S. Steel up 200 . Its not a tech company. I mean, so you wonder how much because its one thing when you come in lower, when you come in down earnings and beat expectations. But if your stock is washed out it can still bounce. Some of these stocks have had nice rides. Its going to be harder for them to pop on just a beat expectations if those earnings are down. You say that the upside from here is maybe 2 to 3 , and the downside between may and labor day is 10 to 15 . And one of the risks you cite, i cant believe it, i cant believe were going to hear this again, is dwreegreece. Not greece again. Why . It seems to be crazy, doesnt it . But this has caused problems in the past. Each time it seems its funny because we had obviously the big problem in 20112012. And then when it came up again a year ago everybody was saying, its not a big deal, until it was. And the thing is, we heard again today out of greece that the government is push back on these austerity plans that they agreed to. And so the imf is saying, hey, you dont do this, were not going to extend the loan again. Can they sell the naming rights to the parthenon for 300 million or something . It would help, right . Yeah, its all coming at the same time when the brexit is going to take place. That can cause volatility there. Again, its probably still going to come down to what happens both in earnings and in the oil markets. What happened in oil recently, its had a nice bounce obviously, but now whats going to happen with saudi what are they really going to do . Are they going to go this far to try to squeeze everybody and give up at the last second before they squeeze the people they want, some of the competition out of so if we get a pullback in oil, its not just what it means for the economy. Its what it means for the credit markets. Those tightened up. It wasnt 2008. No. Thats my concern there. On that note, thanks, matt. Appreciate it. Matt mailly with miller tayback. In washington Lawmakers Said they hope to reach middle ground in the standoff between Tech Companies and Law Enforcement over digital encryption. In an effort to knock down speculation over apples relationship with foreign governments the companys top attorney testified that chinese authorities within the last two years asked apple to hand over its source code. The company refused. Meantime, google is out with a report detailing the security measures it is taking to protect its android customers. As josh lipton reports the worlds most popular mobile operating system may be more secure than ever. Reporter Android Security didnt always get our attention last year for the right reasons. For example, there was stage fright, a bug that could have allowed attackers to inject malicious code into an android device. This morning google published reports showing what it does to protect those 1 billion Android Devices. Last year google performed over 400 million checks of devices per day for security issues, helped find and wipe over 200,000 lost or stolen devices per day, and checked over 6 billion installed apps per day from malware. Android security chief Adrian Ludwig points out that less than 0. 15 of devices running on android installed a potentially harmful app. I dont think the threats are getting worse. Think the attacks are getting more sophisticated but the defenses are probably moving even faster than the attacks. In the mobile space, at any rate. Reporter not everybody is an android fan. Critics say that Android Devices are less secure than iphones because apple controls the hardware, software, and services. By contrast, google allows hardware partners such as sam hung and htc to modify the android system, embedding varying degrees of security. So every manufacturing runs its own version of android with its own security features. But ludwig counters that googles openness is actually an advantage. I dont think theres any single team that is the most Effective Team in the world. I think in practice, you want to bring in as of people as possible from as many walks of life, if you will. That means having different security teams at different oems in the context of android we have lots of Different Companies that are investing in security. Reporter as a security expert ludwig is right in the middle of that ongoing debate over encryption between Silicon Valley and the department of justice. But we already know what his boss thinks about that issue. Googles ceo says forcing a company to enable hacking compromises user privacy. For nightly business report, im josh lipton the European Union meantime is reportedly set to take a tougher stance against google.

But the ceo has consistently said the companys Business Model is not broken. Investors will find out tomorrow if thats true and whether the worst is over for the Financial Services firm. Kayla taushy tells us what to look for. Reporter American Express is fond of referencing its Successful Transition from a Freight Company more than a century ago. But the payments processor is now facing a modern and very long to do list and investors hope wednesday when it reports earnings it can prove its making progress. Its time to upend its Business Model. Amex currently gets more than threequarters of its revenue from merchant transaction fees and annual fees customers pay for its cards. The Company Wants a bigger share from interest paid on loan balances similar to big banks that issue credit cards. The problem is 20 of the companys lopes outstanding as part of its partnership with costco and thats ending. The second question is how amex will plug that hole, with partnerships with not only costco but jet blue ending. The company did say in march loans grew by 12 year over year. But the question is how they will plug that hole. Third, wooing millennials to the brand. Theyre either disillusioned because theyre rejected for the card, or they want cash back which comes out of amexs pocket. We have to figure out whats the right product with the right risk profile to bring millennials in. I do believe that they do want the product. But once we turn them down were not going to get a Second Chance at them. Reporter and fourth is whether a massive restructuring is beginning to bear fruit. In january the Company Announced it was reshuffling a bunch of executives, it was cutting a billion dollars in costs by the end of 2017. In recent weeks amex identified which would be cut. A spokesperson said there would continue to be restructuring changes throughout the year. Shares have lagged the most on the dow in the last 12 months, down 18 .

Local businesses from Retail Stores to restaurants to Big Oil Companies were forced to shut, potentially costing hundreds of millions in lost sales and in repairs. But what will the total Economic Impact be for that south texas region . Evan gold, Senior Vice President at weather Advisory Firm planalytics analyzes the Economic Impact of weather. Good to have you with us. What kind of total price tag are you forecasting here . Tyler, its a very active and fluid situation. Even though the rains have come, calming down, it is still several days before well get a total cost. Were estimating so far about 200 million. A lot of that is simply due to the thing yoults discussed lost productivity, travel plans that wont be made up, then the daytoday activity of people going out to restaurants that wont be made up because youre not going to go out and buy two meals the following day. Theres an ongoing cost thats going to be tallied over the coming days. Might some businesses though reap the benefit of people who need to, unfortunately, clean up after something as historic as what were seeing play out in houston . The home depots of the world, the lowes of the world . Sure, and thats a good point. Those businesses, first and foremost, its important to note they are really there to serve as ambassadors for the community and serve their customers and help them get back on their feet. You know, that being said, the businesses that people go to in these type of events are home centers, mass merchants, gas stations, convenience stores, those type of places that sell those consumable items, needbased items that customers need right now. Everything from pumps and diapers and bottled water to batteries and other items. They just need to get along from day to day. So take me into the war room of a home depot headquarters or a walmart. Are they at this moment calling out everything they can to get brooms and trash bags and contractor bags and pumps into the stores there . Yeah, you know, we work with a lot of those guys and i will tell you, theyre not doing it now, theyve been doing it for days. Theyve been talking about this event for several days. So they want to be there in advance of the event to meet those customer needs. And then as the roads open up they want to be there to replenish those items as soon as the roads open up and customers get back to the stores. So a lot of businesses have a strategy to deal with and thats the business that were in, helping them execute those strategies. So this activity has actually been happening for several days as this rain has been pretty well forecast. Fascinating. Evan, thank you very much, evan gold with planalytics. How the worlds biggest Biotech Company is tackling the Newest Health care threat facing the gl an update to a story we have been following for you. Pherenos is under federal criminal investigation. The startup Blood Testing Company said it is being examined by the s. E. C. And the u. S. Attorneys office for the Northern District of california. The probes are on top of other ongoing inspections. Pherenos was established to provide cheaper, more efficient bloodrelated medical tests. A series of reports have called into question its testing methods. We turn now to the fight against the zika virus. Were taking you into the laboratories of pharmaceutical Companies Working on the disease. Last night we focused on vaccines. Tonight a look at the potential for a zika drug. Meg terrell reports. Reporter fill yad sciences became the worlds biggest Biotechnology Company through its work in antiviral medicines. First for hiv. Then hepatitis c. Along the way, the company established a library of hundreds of thousands of compounds that never made it to market. But which its scientists hope may hold the key to battling emerging infectious diseases. So its the library, sort of. I think its the record of the history of gilead as a company. Reporter when a new threat emerges for which there are no existing drugs, gilead can rapidly screen its library for any compounds with activity. And a new outbreak quickly arose to test its capabilities. In the middle of 2014 when the outbreak in west africa really was heading out of control, w. H. O. , they declared the International Public health crisis, so we sat down and then we basically started brainstorming. Reporter gilead found a hit for ebola. The drug, gs5734, is now in the earliest stages of testing on healthy volunteers. Its also been used in two patients with ebola. The first was a nurse in the uk who was treated with 14 doses of the drug. Ultimately she cleared the virus from the Central Nervous system and survived and was discharged from the hospital. So that was the very first case that was very exciting. Sort of confirmation that this drug might ultimately work against the virus. Reporter the second case was a newborn baby in guinea. We just recently heard from the Doctors Without Borders that the baby is doing very well. So that was probably the most satisfying moment in the whole course of the program to see actually the real value of the drug in those critical cases. Reporter of course more testing is needed to prove the drug works and its safe. Now gilead is setting sights on the newest threat facing the globe. Were at the beginning stages right now of looking at zika virus as a target and trying to develop a plan for testing some of our compounds against that virus. Reporter one candidate, gs5734, the same compound being tested in ebola. So does gilead have a potential moneymaker on its hands . Likely not along the lines of billions its earned for hiv and hepatitis c. I dont think theres expectation, from my perspective, that its going to be profit. Were doing it for the right reasons. Reporter with Drug Development timelines often spanning a decade, any faster routes would be welcomed by the medical community. For nightly business report, im meg terrell.
