In short

Fast Money episode covers: Meta’s new paid “Plus” subscriptions across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, plus Meta AI tiers under “Meta One,” and how this may monetize AI spend. It also discusses JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon saying the bank could spend up to $20B on acquisitions, with banks potentially re-rating as credit stays stable. Additional segments cover Salesforce’s AgentForce progress and Snowflake’s strong guidance/stock surge, crude oil falling on Iran-negotiation hopes, a strategist’s push to hold ~7% cash amid rate volatility, Cygnos’ $20M funding for AI glucose monitoring in obesity care, and auto stocks rising on FDIC industrial bank charter chatter.

Guests/participants

Tim Seymour, Karen Feinerman, Dan Nathan, Guy Adami (panel); Julia Borson (Meta details); Chris Maranac (Breen Capital, JPM M&A targets); Michael Cantopoulos (Janice Henderson Investors, cash-buffer strategy); Sherem Faladgar-Mercer (Cygnos CEO).

Key claims/examples

Meta Plus pricing ($4 FB/IG, $3 WhatsApp) and Meta AI ($8 “plus,” $20 premium) are incremental; panelists doubt conversion (possibly ~2% of free users). Dimon: acquisitions up to $20B; likely targets in wealth/fintech/insurance, not banks. Oil: WTI below $90. Cygnos: arm device reads glucose; partners include Google Ventures, Dexcom, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama; distribution on Dexcom DTC.

1:02Tim Seymour:Live from the Nasdaq market side in the heart of New York City's Times Fair, this is Fast Money. Here's what's on tap tonight. Meta moves higher, how the social media giant is looking to add new revenue streams and what it could mean for investors, plus crude oil settling at six-week lows. JPMorgan drops on new comments from the CEO. Automaker stocks put the pedal to the metal. and health tech startup Signos announcing a new funding round and expanded partnership. We'll talk to the CEO about the deal and the next steps in its bid to revolutionize the weight loss space. I'm Melissa Lee. Come to you live from Studio B at the NASDAQ.

1:33Tim Seymour:On the desk tonight, Tim Seymour, Karen Feinerman, Dan Nathan, and Guy Adami. We start off with that midday move higher in shares of Meta, the company holding its annual shareholder meeting this afternoon, announcing paid subscription options for its Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram platforms. Julia Borson has more on this and all the details from the investor day. Julia. Hey, Melissa. Well, Meta is making its biggest move yet into subscriptions and laying out new potential revenue streams with new paid offerings across its family of apps. Facebook Plus and Instagram Plus will cost$4 a month and WhatsApp Plus$3 a month.

2:07They'll give users access to extra features like profile customization, super reactions, and insights into who is watching stories. Meta says it will also start testing new subscriptions for businesses, creators, and Meta AI users with all the subscriptions under the brand Meta One. In addition to the free version of its Meta AI app and its website, Meta One AI will be available for$8 for the plus version and$20 a month for the premium version for access to deeper reasoning and more advanced image and video generation options. This news comes today as Meta also held its annual shareholder meeting where CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about the opportunity to offer subscriptions in the future to personal AI agents.

2:51He also spoke about potential revenue opportunities in selling computing capacity and building a cloud business down the line. So, Melissa, certainly a shift in how Meta is talking about generating revenue.

3:03Tim Seymour:But to be clear, Julia, the tiers for the subscriptions, these kick in basically when you're paying for a higher level of service, bells and whistles, as opposed to just if you have a regular Facebook account or Instagram account. Everything you do right now on Instagram, you'll be able to keep on doing. This is for people who are power users, if you will, and want to have extra features, want to be able to tell the favorite creators that they follow that they love their content or to be able to get a sense of who's watching their story. So this is really an additional feature on top of what they're already offering their users for free.

3:36Tim Seymour:All right. Julia, thank you. Julia Borsten, does this answer, Karen, the question that has been nagging the stock, And that is, are they getting the return on investment for all of the AI spend? We don't know because we don't know how that subscription revenue will flow. But, I mean, it's going to be high margin, that's for sure. It is to me. Normally you see a shareholder meeting, nothing happens. Right. Right. This is, you know, something. This is an interesting development. I think it's addressing the street's fear of you guys are just spending, spending, spending. And what do we have to show for it right now?

4:07Now, the underlying business, the advertising business is doing great, but the spending is using all your cash flow and all of your excess cash. So this is, you know, clearly them trying to address there is a return on this spend. There's a lot of ways we can do it. And whether it's agents, whether it's selling compute, whether it's being in the cloud business, cloud businesses, there's some heavy hitters in the cloud business already. Not that there's not a lot of compute demand. There's also an extraordinary amount of that. So, I mean, he has an eye on it. This is sort of maybe this cycle's version of efficiency, maybe.

4:38I'm not sure. It's not the full-on efficiency.

4:41Melissa Lee:There's no silver lining here. I'm just going to be really honest with you. This is like a dead bang zero. They'd be lucky if they convert 2%. I mean that 2 % of their free users. If you think about Gemini and what they're doing with Google, I mean, probably 97 % of their users are free. And they're like monetized across like probably 10 platforms that have over a billion users. So if you think about what's going on with the LLMs, I mean, Anthropic went enterprise. Like that's what they've done. They have not relied on consumer subscriptions. And OpenAI actually has a real problem as the first mover in the space.

5:16Melissa Lee:They did convince a lot of early adopters to pay$20 a month. And I'm sure there's no shortage of those business users who are paying$200, that sort of thing. But they're going away from that model because they're going to a consumption model. So, you know, when I think about this, it looks like, you know, putting lipstick on a pig a little bit. And when you talk about the demand. We're back to the animal spirits. It's amazing. I know. Hog wild, lipstick on a pig. He's poor slime. Dan strong as an ox. No, I just think it's funny. You know, the stock rallied 4 % on this in market cap terms. They'd be lucky if they get that revenue for this business model that they just gained in market cap today.

5:54Melissa Lee:Certainly not directed. it's swizzle here, number one. Number two, I don't know if it's a dead bang loser, but we've been waiting for sort of them to flip the switch on the monetization. Maybe this is the first foray into that. I don't know. What I will say is since February of 25, Facebook has been a pretty volatile stock for a trillion and a half dollar company. But I think on the margins at an 18 and a half multiple next year's earnings, it's a name you need to own understanding that it's going to be volatile both to the upside and the downside. I don't know if this is going to move the needle, but I think you got to belong Facebook here.

6:23Tim Seymour:Maybe this is at least an acknowledgement that this is what they need to start doing. Well, they step in the right direction. They have acknowledged that they need to find other levers on the revenue side. So I think we're all saying be cautious here. And I would say revenue growth. I think the street is expecting somewhere around 19 percent revenue growth. If you get back up into kind of mid 20s and some of these various dynamics, I think, could move the needle. What's interesting is I would have thought that this type of an announcement sprinkling in AI would have had Meta running like a deer through the woods.

6:57I mean, I really think it's a case where there's still so much skepticism out there. And while I see it even 17 times forward, so it's wildly cheap relative to Google, different stories, okay, but historically these were the places we at least compared the cheap end of the mega cap tech world and now trades 10 turns light to Google. I think you're rewarded by owning it here. Just, you know, that user base and the number of people around the world using the product. But I agree. We're all still waiting to see what happens.

7:30Melissa Lee:Yeah, I think they're having a hard time seeing the forest for the trees. Maybe. I don't know. But the one thing I'd say is that like on that conference call and you probably listened to it a few weeks ago. How many times did Zuckerberg say basically, trust me, trust me. And if this is what he asked, you know, shareholders to trust him for, like this is the big unlock as far as their spend. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. I just can't imagine if you're a shareholder, like a large shareholder, and you've suffered through the volatility of the guy just mentioned and the relative underperformance.

8:00Melissa Lee:I mean, look at Amazon and Google and Apple. They make new all time highs on a daily basis. And that's gone on now for like a couple of weeks. And just meta just doesn't seem like there's anything going on. If anything, today felt a little bit like a short covering rally. And maybe you get a gap fill from the earnings. But I just can't imagine that this is going to move the needle on a revenue front. I don't think of this as the big reveal. I don't think this is, you know, them saying, OK, Eureka, here we're taking what we've been working on in our workshop for two years. And now here it is. I don't get that that's what this is at all.

8:29And the shareholder meeting is definitely not the place to do that. So I think it's more what I was saying before, just a nod to we know we need to put up, you know, something, something to show that we are not just all about spend, spend, spend.

8:44Tim Seymour:I mean, this is not I mean, we were talking about this for a long time in terms of within the A.I. trade, the ones that are doing well have undergone a narrative change. This doesn't change the narrative. Right. This is sort of an incremental thing. So we're still waiting for that. But do you continue waiting for that?

8:59Melissa Lee:With Facebook, I mean, Tim mentioned the valuation. Maybe I was off by a turn or so. But the point is it trades cheaper than a market multiple. And given the moats that I think that they have, yeah, I do think you wait. And you give them the benefit of the doubt. Understanding that, it's a more volatile stock than I think that it should be.

9:14Tim Seymour:Meantime, a strong divergence emerging among the big banks with money centers lagging the names with big IPO and investment banking businesses. J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, all in negative territory for the year. While names like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have seen double-digit gains over the past three months, as anticipation over offerings from SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropoc heats up, both stocks trading just off-record highs. And more reason to believe deal activity will continue. J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon telling analysts the bank could spend up to$20 billion in acquisitions over the coming years.

9:46I do think there might be opportunities. And so we are on the lookout, but it's got to make sense. You know, it can't be just a sky and, you know, pie in the sky type of thing. It's going to make sense, you know, organically, you know, that we can integrate it, that we can, the cultural to get it, you know, the right way that it, you know, it adds, enhances our business. And it's not like some separate standalone thing that I have to pray we don't screw up. So because we have great businesses and we want to continue to build them. But I do think there might be in the next couple of years a chance to put$10 or$20 billion to work buying something.

10:18And when we do that, we'll explain to you why we think it's a great purchase.

10:23Tim Seymour:He also, by the way, said things are expensive right now, so the money's not burning a hole in his pocket. And he thinks J.P. Morgan's stock is expensive. What do you think? Well, every time he opens his mouth, he wants to just lower expectations, right? The economy, you've got to be careful and all of that. And I understand that that is the job of the banker. But I think, yeah, it's expensive on a price to book value. So it's not crazy expensive on a P.E. value. But I think they've tried to be disciplined before. and, you know, they've raised the dividend several times. But the acquisition thing I think is interesting.

10:57I would think the most likely thing first would be something in the asset wealth management business. That wouldn't be surprising. Maybe it's more than one thing. Maybe it's two things. And then maybe some sort of fintech.

11:08Melissa Lee:Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's going to be 120. It's probably, you know, a couple of fives and maybe a 10 or something like that. You look at Piper Jaffrey, although I don't know if that sort of fits the narrative, but some boutique-y type of thing. But look at what Jamie Dimon's done in his tenure. All the major acquisitions have been in a distressed environment. So I don't know if he's suggesting that something he's sniffing something out, but they typically buy things when, you know, the blank hits the fan instead of things that are valuations that don't make a lot of sense.

11:33Tim Seymour:First Republic being the last one, also in distress. Yeah, you could argue he's being cunning as a fox here. But what I would say is he made it very clear he thought investment banking revenues were going to be at least 10 percent higher. What we heard about creating revenue from them and Bank of America. Moynihan also talked. Bank of America is going to be up 15 percent second quarter. J.P. Morgan indicated 11 percent. I mean, these money center banks are making they're as profitable as they've ever been. So, I mean, yeah, Goldman's been an incredible trade and they're usually the smartest guys in the room.

12:03And in terms of the world of innovation and at least where their possessions, certainly around the deal flow. But J.P. Morgan and Bank of America and Citibank also have never had more levers to pull. And they even commented on net interest income, Bank of America, and said it's absolutely fine. And that's 50 percent of revenue. So I think if you're getting far away from this trade because you think they're expensive, I think they're all re-rating. And I think you're also well paid to stick around. They're paying nice divs. The capital give back is a big part of the story over the last five years.

12:31Melissa Lee:Yeah, I could see them doing acquisitions like AI native sort of things that kind of fit within these businesses. You talk about 50 percent of their revenues is NIMS. And maybe you look at the other 50 percent where and you've been talking about this for a while, Karen, we're going to start seeing, you know, at AI agents and applications applied to these businesses. You know, we're going to talk about Snowflake and, you know, taking all this unstructured data and figuring out how to use it better and getting efficiencies. Jamie Dimon's already talked about, sadly, you know, how many fewer bankers they will be hiring in the future.

13:01Melissa Lee:You know, that sort of thing. So to me, there's companies like Rose Space. I just met this company. They just did a round Sequoia led it. Some, you know, kind of genius founders. They're building, again, like an AI vertical, brand new from scratch. And it's geared towards the private equity industry, you know, like stuff like that, just kind of bolting those on. And you could say, well, that sounds a bit like an aqua hire. But, you know, at the end of the day, a lot of the engineers that they have in these places are probably backward looking to some degree. And to compete and try to get talent at these frontier labs is going to be really hard.

13:29Melissa Lee:So maybe you end up buying some of these smaller companies that are doing the things that really kind of can be complementary to your business and help get that productivity gain.

13:37Tim Seymour:Let's get more on potential acquisition targets for JPMorgan with Chris Maranac. He's the director of research at Breen Capital. Chris, great to see you. Good to see you, too. Thank you. What would you like to see JPMorgan buy, if anything? Sure. A private company, I think that$20 billion is a small pittance of their market cap. It's only 2.5%. So I think it's going to be small, most likely not public. And remember, it's not a bank because they are prohibited from buying banks given their asset size. All right. So in what areas do you think they could buy and it would make sense for them? I'm intrigued by insurance.

14:12I think banks got out of the insurance business the last two years. It's still a great business. I agree that asset management makes sense. I think a trading platform that is small but nimble in some new areas could be interesting. Certainly, I think there's a possibility for them to do fintech as a lot of expertise that they don't have. Chris, Tim, thanks. What are you doing with your multiples here? Are they drifting higher? Is this sector re-rating? Absolutely, Tim. I think you're all spot on. I think that 10.5 to 11 times earnings for the banks today should be more like 12. I think we have the return equity and return assets, the capital returns to match that.

14:47I think earnings will be solid again for the second and third quarter. Credit quality continues to be stable. I think losses continue to be relatively low. And if the banks are wrong on credit, they have a lot of operating earnings, what we call PPNR, to cover any shortfalls. Chris, it's Karen. Thanks for being on. I know J.P. Morgan can't talk about the name without talking about succession. Let's say we were to hear tomorrow that January of next year there is a new CEO and it's one of the contenders that everybody thinks is in the race. How much do you think the stock would fall? I think you've got probably 5 % to 10 % downside on that.

15:23It reminds me a lot of what happened with Berkshire Hathaway when Warren Buffett stepped away a year plus ago. I think Jamie is an iconic leader, and I think it's hard shoes to fill. So the market most likely will penalize whoever comes in there in the short run. I think ultimately the earnings will speak for themselves and drive the stock better. But I do think you should expect to see some pullback.

15:43Melissa Lee:You know, Chris, Jamie Dimon talks about J.P. Morgan being expensive. What context? To me, price to book is expensive, and I think that he is right. Well, he's a higher P.E. than the rest of the marketplace. I mean, JPM is closer to 14 times forward earnings when the rest of the group is more like 10.5 to 11. So I think from that context, the forward P.E., while it's not as high as the stock market by any means, it's expensive for a bank.

16:10Tim Seymour:Chris, you said that JPMorgan wouldn't be able to buy a bank because of its size, but you are expecting a lot more M &A within banks, particularly regionals. Where do you see the tie-ups happening? So I think that there are large regional banks. Think of a Truist and a U.S. bank and others like them who I think could consider their next move to get bigger, to try to compete closer to where Bank of America, Wells and JPM are. I think that you have other 100 to 200 million dollar or billion dollar banks who may want to graduate to the next level. If you see what Fifth Third has done this year by Income America, I think they have more room in the tank to tack on over time.

16:49I think performance as you integrate is key. So I think you have to digest what you've done. But I would look for those regional banks to step up to try to push themselves towards a trillion dollars over time.

17:01Tim Seymour:All right, Chris, great to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Chris Maranek. You know, if banks want to do this, they've got to act fast, in theory. I mean, you would probably want to do it while the administration is still in place in order to get the friendly regulators. And I think David Solomon mentioned that. I don't know. There was a lot of intensity and desire to move quickly. And I think if you're a J.P. Morgan, adding on the wealth management side and adding in a place where there's innovation around who your client could be also in platforms and trading using technology is where they should be.

17:37I mean, there's no question that whether it's prediction markets, whether they want to get straight in there or not. There's no question there's a different type of retail investor. There is a ton of money that's been generated by this market. And that's a place where you're rewarded on multiple. I agree with Timmy on the rebranding. I like Citibank and JPMorgan both. I mean, Bank of America probably is good, too. But I think these are changing businesses.

18:02Melissa Lee:What happened to all that deregulation that was supposed to come, right? Like, that was like a big, you know, supposedly a tailwind into the new administration, right? We haven't really seen any. We haven't seen any real M &A. You look at the fact that the banks, you know, have not confirmed any of the new highs in the S &P 500 over the last couple months. We haven't seen the regionals. And they were supposed to be a big beneficiary of dereg. I just find it interesting that this group really lags the broader market. And I just can't remember a time where you've seen this sort of outperformance by some big drivers.

18:30Melissa Lee:And we know where it's coming from. And then you just have the banks. And listen, there is dispersion right now. If you look at Morgan and you look at Goldman, they are trading like they're going to bring a bunch of trillion-dollar IPOs. But at the end of the day, J.P. Morgan is going to be involved in all those deals. And that's not trading particularly well. So to me, I just think that's something to keep an eye on. I always thought it was sly as a fox. I mean, cunning is fine, by the way. Cunning is a fine word. I think cunning is a great word. I don't think it's used enough. And I think sly as a fox is probably a lower brow version.

19:01You know, a good point.

19:01Melissa Lee:It's an excellent point by you, which is why I would, yeah. I gravitated towards that. You went to higher level.

19:07Tim Seymour:Sly versus cunning?

19:08Melissa Lee:Yeah, well, I mean, actually, if anybody cares, my nickname in college was sly. You do best with one-syllable words. Monosyllabic. Yeah, yeah.

19:17Tim Seymour:Yeah, that's my history. All right, coming up. We're watching Shares of Salesforce after its latest earnings report. The details and numbers in the latest quarter next, plus an energy drain hitting crude prices. WTI back below 90 bucks a barrel. How much lower could prices go? What does it mean for energy stocks? Do not go anywhere. Fast Money is back in June.

19:41Never bet against American grit or American energy. Through innovation, Venture Global is not only building some of the largest energy facilities in the world right here in the United States, but delivering American energy at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the time. So while others are busy talking, we're busy building. That's Venture Global. That's unstoppable energy.

20:58Tim Seymour:Welcome back to Fast Money. An earnings alert on Salesforce, the enterprise software giant lowered despite posting top and bottom line results at Beat Street estimates. Conference calls underway. CNBC's Seema Modi has the latest. Hey, Seema. Melissa, we're on the call. and CEO Mark Benioff really reinforcing the growth in AgentForce, its key AI agent platform with annual recurring revenue now above$1 billion from$800 million in the previous quarter. I also spoke to Salesforce's chief operating and financial officer, Robin Washington, and when asked about the Q2 guidance, which came in a bit short, she pointed me to the full year raise that the company revealed.

21:29Tim Seymour:And in response to the flurry of executive departures to OpenAI and Anthropic, a story that we've been reporting on, she said, we're going to lose some talent to startups. It's the nature of what happens in Silicon Valley, and that's giving them the opportunity to elevate existing talent and recruit. This as Snowflake shares continue to skyrocket, up 32 percent. Product revenue outlook came in much better than expected, and that, Melissa, is really throwing cold water on these competitive concerns, the likes from Datadog, which operates in the data infrastructure space. Snowflake also beefing up its investment in Amazon Web Services to$6 billion, which includes its custom chip.

22:07Tim Seymour:And again, the stock is higher, Mosa. Seema, thank you. Seema Modi. And be sure to tune into Mad Money tonight. Jim will talk to the CEOs of both Salesforce and Snowflake. It all starts 6 p.m. Eastern time. You will not want to miss this. It's an interesting contrast in terms of how the stocks are performing, what they've said, and the fact that CRM is legacy enterprise software. Snowflake is not. Investors are willing to see sort of a narrative change in Snowflake.

22:33Melissa Lee:Yeah, I mean, I almost feel bad for Mark Benioff. I mean, he's been talking about agents for like a long time, and you would have thought they'd be in the catbird seat to do this and kind of fend off, you know, some of these upstarts and some of these, you know, LLMs that have just come in harder, these frontier labs. And, you know, it's just that the investors are not buying it. I mean, we talked about this last week. We saw Workday up, you know, 8, 9 percent in the aftermarket, filled in that gap almost, you know, immediately. Zoom did the same thing. Yeah, ServiceNow. There's still not a bid for them right now.

22:58Melissa Lee:And when you see all the money where it's flowing, it's like people are not willing to take a shot. Now, whatever's going on in Snowflake just seems a bit unnatural. But, you know, short squeeze, I don't know. It is, yeah, 6 % short. I just think the most important thing about Snowflake is that they increased their fiscal 27 guidance by 4 % from February. This is supposed to be the time when software companies are getting their lunch taken, eating, all of those things. And, in fact, if anything, they're reasserting their place here, essentially with the same clients and who probably have more demand.

23:30And new clients, a lot of new clients at Snowflake and bigger clients as well. So that's some pretty good momentum. But the magnitude of the move is surprising. Guy, are you okay? Are you sweating a little bit? What's the matter, Guy? A couple things. Is it wet there? What happened?

23:43Melissa Lee:Can we do a close-up on my – I don't know. You're schvitzing? What are you doing? I'm not schvitzing on my shoulder. You've got some pits going. No, I don't have pits. Those are not my pits, Tim. I mean, you're familiar with what armpits are? Well, I mean, sometimes. My shoulder, I was congratulating a colleague on something, which I won't get into detail. And I probably got his or her makeup on my shoulder in our embrace. And in the break, I asked Miles to get it off, and Miles screwed it up, as usual. Why did he screw it up? Well, because he just didn't do it correctly. As the saying goes, if you want something done, do it yourself.

24:16Melissa Lee:By the way, once again, an animal reference, catbird seat. Oh, yes. That's why you're grimacing. I was grimacing. Like a Cheshire cat. We love Miles. It wasn't Miles. It was my fault. But thanks for pointing it out. Well, I think the folks at home probably in the A block realized you were soiled.

24:34Tim Seymour:And now he's wet. But by the way, with the sales force, the guidance on Q2 was down a little bit,

24:42Melissa Lee:but just trust us in the back half. Remember the back half loaded? Don't love that.

24:46Tim Seymour:A lot more Fast Money to come. Here's what's coming up next.

26:24Tim Seymour:and to make my community proud.

26:26Melissa Lee:Oh, what a brilliant tackle from Naomi Kerma.

26:30Tim Seymour:What would you like the power to do? Bank of America. Proud to be the official bank of U.S. soccer. Bank of America, N.A., member FDSE. Welcome back to Fast Money. Oil prices tumbling today on hopes of progress in U.S. negotiations with Iran. WTI crude settling below$90 a barrel, its lowest price in over a month. Brent was below$95. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying during the White House cabinet meeting today that the U.S. will give Iran talks, quote, every chance to succeed as the war close in on 90 days. And Karen, you made some trades in oil today. I did. XLE, which I have been adding.

27:07I added from lower, added from higher because it was higher yesterday. So that sort of means you went home long as if you bought it there. But I added some today. I think oil could come in more for sure, but I really like the underpinnings of the energy trade.

27:20Melissa Lee:For some reason, the OIH decided to carry today the downside. I think it's an opportunity. Schlumberger sold off, but not nearly commensurate, I think, with the broader ETF. I'm with Karen on this. I think you've got to still stay along these oil names. I'm long SLB. We can't call it Schlumberger anymore. Apparently we were doing it wrong. And active rig counts jumped last week, really for the first time since the war began. So I think you're seeing a delayed response. And what we all have said and pointed out is that the need to restock and build and remove energy insecurity, in other words, by doing everything you can to find new places and drill, is great for Schlumberger, SLB.

27:57Tim Seymour:Are you surprised, though, that there wasn't more market reaction to oil prices moving to the lowest level in six weeks? The stock market reaction? I mean, I thought, you know, yesterday. Well, yeah, I guess that's I thought bonds would move more. Yeah. So that was a little bit surprising. But I think but we'll see. We have some PPI data coming up as well. PC tomorrow. Tomorrow. Yeah. Right. So that's been weighing on the market. You look like you've cleaned yourself up a little bit. It's dry. It's dry. That's what happens. I didn't I wasn't able to get your blow dryer in the break. Well, it's in the it's in the room if you need it.

28:31It's a part of it.

28:32Tim Seymour:Anyway, coming up, building a cash buffer, how a top market strategist is positioning amid all the uncertainty and why he says there's irony playing out in the market right now. The details when Fast Money returns.

28:49Missed a moment of fast? Catch us anytime on the go. Follow the Fast Money podcast. We're back right after this.

28:59Tim Seymour:Welcome back to Fast Money. Stocks in and out of positive territory today, but major indices all setting record closes today. The Dow jumping nearly 200 points, the S &P and Nasdaq both fractionally higher. Cybersecurity firms Zscale are dropping more than 31 percent despite beating top and bottom line expectations in its report last night. The company giving weak guidance and striking a cautious tone around customer acquisition. acquisition. And check out Cathie Wood's ARK ETF over the past month, up less than 2%, underperforming the broader tech space. The Nasdaq up more than 7 % in that time frame.

29:29Tim Seymour:She recently bought$32 million worth of newly public Cerebris stock. And some more after hours action, HP topping expectations, Synopsys beating top and bottom line estimates, Marvell doing the same, hiking Q2 earnings and revenue guidance, that stock up 12%. FedEx Freight, which will be spun off from parent company FedEx next Tuesday, will join the S &P 500 when it starts trading. It's replacing EPAM Systems, which is moving to the small cap index. We're seeing a slight pop there. FedEx Spray will also join the Dow Transports, replacing American Airlines. Well, investors may want to consider increasing their exposure to cash with stocks at all-time highs.

30:07Tim Seymour:It's an asset Mike Cantopoulos likes right now. He is the head of multi-asset macro Investing at Janice Henderson Investors. Michael, great to see you. Nice to see you as well. How high are you in cash and how unusual is that for you? We're about 7 % cash across our portfolios. That's a little unusual for us. I mean, equity markets tend to go up, as we all know. And so you don't want to be underinvested per se. But I think during these times where you have so much uncertainty around what's going on with Iran, what's going on with inflation, the potential for rate volatility, which I think could be quite, quite large.

30:40I don't think you want to be overexposed either to the equity market here. And so what we did in our portfolios is we raised cash, but we didn't change the overall structure of the portfolio. So it's not like we added defensive stocks. We didn't go and buy staples, healthcare, and utilities. We actually still continue to have a cyclical bent, but we just raised cash to have on the sidelines in case there's a drop in the market to be a little bit more opportunistic.

31:02Tim Seymour:In terms of how we should think, though, I understand that the overall construction remains the same, but it's got to come from somewhere. So walk us through where it comes from. It does have to come through somewhere. So the way that our portfolio is currently positioned is we're overweight international markets, underweight the U.S. We brought down basically Europe and Japan, but we also brought down value in the U.S. And I think that's the right call. The expression is, again, more about volatility and being prepared for higher volatility than it is about crawling into the fetal position under your desk and being scared of what's out there.

31:40The macro environment is actually quite strong. So I think this is more about waiting out the storm.

31:44Melissa Lee:What does bond volatility look like? We got up north of 460. The market did not like that. What does it look like to you? You know, Guy, I've been saying this for a while as a view. I think the 10-year is going higher. I think that you could see real serious gaps in the 10, and I think you could easily approach 5%. And, you know, if Chair Warsh were to somehow convince the committee, which I don't think he'll do in fairness, but if he were to convince the committee to cut rates, I think you could gap very quickly to five and a half percent. I mean, the economy strong earnings growth we're seeing is fantastic.

32:16There's no lack of credit availability, which is the whole point of tight monetary policy. And so if the Fed cuts rates into inflation that's going up and growth that's strong, then we're going to see five plus them the 10 year. If they keep where they are or even hike, which they could do, I think you're going to be range bound between that 4.4 and 4.6 range. So does any of your cash allocation, is any of that because cash is actually paying something right now as opposed to just a dry powder? 100%. I mean, you know, the calculus was we can sit there and earn 5 % or roughly 5 % in cash and, again, have that dry powder and put it to work at some point.

32:56or we can own a highly volatile equity market or a fixed income market that could see some price loss as rates go higher. And so absolutely, Karen, the 5 % or 4.5 % cash level is definitely reasonably attractive here.

33:10Melissa Lee:Well, you just mentioned that you're moving more towards a cyclical sort of bent. What does that look like to you? Like what would be one sector that would start to think a bit more cyclical, less secular, that we should be keeping an eye on? So we've liked industrials for a little bit. You know, if you actually look over the last 10 years, even small and mid cap American industrial companies have outperformed the Nasdaq, which is a pretty crazy stat. So we continue to like industrials. It's been somewhat of a mainstay in our portfolios when we think, you know, there's some cyclicality and some positive momentum in earnings.

33:46Materials is another space. We've been overweight emerging markets ex-China this year, which has obviously been a nice call. Now, you got a little bit of that sort of chip momentum in play there. But the actual underlying fundamentals for emerging markets, excluding China, are quite good. And so those are three cyclical areas of the world and at a sector level that we like. I like EM, too. I still don't believe EM can do what it's doing if rates go higher. And that is something you're concerned. And what I hear, you haven't really quite said it, but it's asymmetric risk in the rates market here, no?

34:20I do think it's asymmetric risk. I think there's a world in which EM does OK with higher rates. I mean, it's obviously done well as rates have gone from about 390 to 460. And emerging markets ex-China has done quite well. So I think there is a world in which it does well. Remember, much of emerging markets is exposed to the commodity complex, certainly the producers from Latam. And so if those rates are being driven by higher commodity prices, I mean, you could see that feed through and see some positive catalyst for emerging markets or parts of emerging markets. Yep.

34:49Tim Seymour:Michael, always great to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Michael Cantopoulos. Do you agree with this notion that we are at a point now where you should pare back risk?

34:58Melissa Lee:I'm not. Well, I've thought that for a while. It's been wrong. But I think in terms of his timing, I think it's probably right. And his concern about the bond market, the concerns that I share. And I think the worst, if you want rates to go lower, the last thing you want is for the Fed to cut rates, which, by the way, I don't think they're going to do. Karen? Well, you know, with the VIX here, it seems like it's a little too rosy for me. So I'm always long, but I do want to have some protection. So that's been basically selling some calls against things. Implied vol in the Treasury market is back to pre-war levels.

35:29And you can't tell me we should be there. I mean, that's the asymmetric side of this. I don't know that we have to go running to 5 % on the 10-year. Not saying that, but risk-reward, agree. I think it's pricey.

35:41Melissa Lee:It's pretty amazing, though. Think about how many things have been thrown at the market. Guy was just talking about 4.7 in the 10-year. Now it's 4.45 or whatever it is. I mean, like the market doesn't like the stock market investors just don't care. I mean, there's nothing that you can throw at nothing geopolitical, you know. And, you know, when you're looking at 25 percent year over year earnings growth, I don't think anybody was coming in and thinking that, you know. And so the idea that you would cut interest rates into that sounds absolutely ludicrous because the market hasn't cared with Fed funds at, you know, four and a half.

36:09Melissa Lee:It didn't care at five and a half. Although it is cheaper to fund the deficit, though. We've got inflation like we haven't had since since late 2022, really. I mean, and again, the numbers don't print that, but it's in the pipeline. But some of the asset prices and some of what we're seeing going on in private markets and we talked about sports teams last night. I mean, you can't tell me this isn't a world where I think I think the Fed could go and all would be fine. And I mean higher.

36:36Tim Seymour:We have a news alert here on Dell. We want to get to shares are higher after the Pentagon announced a nine point seven billion dollar deal with the company to supply software to the military. CEO Michael Dell pledged more than$6 billion last year to fund Trump accounts. Dell reports earnings after the bell tomorrow. Shares close at a record today. They are higher by about 3 % in the after-recession. You're a shareholder. I am. Dell is now, through Dell's trajectory, my biggest position, which wasn't what I thought it would be at the beginning of the year. So it's 315 and change in the aftermarket now.

37:12I guess that's not shocking to anyone. They are tight, Dell, and the Trump administration. Clearly. Good for you for holding on. One of the hardest things to do is to hold on to your winners. And people tend to sell them too soon. I've sold some calls against it. Any call I did sell wasn't great. Tomorrow will be less great.

37:31Tim Seymour:Coming up, sweetening the deal. The CEO of Cygnos joins us next to discuss the case for glucose monitoring to boost weight loss and how the health tech startup's freshly announced funding round could strengthen its role in the booming obesity management market. More Fast Money right after this.

37:49Tim Seymour:Welcome back to Fast Money. Health tech startup Cygnos announcing a$20 million funding round today as the AI-powered glucose monitoring platform pushes deeper into the red-hot obesity market. The deal backed by Google Ventures, Dexcom, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama also includes a distribution deal to put Cygnus' subscription plans on Dexcom's direct-to-consumer site. Here on set for more is Cygnus' CEO, Sherem Faladgar-Mercer. Sherem, great to have you with us. Thank you for having me on. What does the money allow you to do at this point? It allows us to start to really expand this and focus on how do we help our members across three different paradigms.

38:24We have the first one, which is Cygnus. Is there a core audience for people that don't necessarily need to be on a GLP-1 or don't want to be? And then we have the second one, which is Cygnus Plus. GLP-1 and Cygnus. This is for the fact that the number of Americans that are getting on a GLP-1 has doubled from 6 % to 12 % just in the last 18 months, in the last 12 months. And I think the reality here is that you can now see the impact of your behavior, see the impact of your exercise, of your diet, and of your GLP-1 on your glucose. And taking that and how do we help you optimize that. And then the third one is how do we help with people that are getting off the GLP-1.

38:58There's 15 ,000 people getting off of GLP-1 every day, and the latest stats are showing within 12 months we're gaining all the weight back. We created the Cygnus GLP-1 graduation program to help people when they're ready and make sure they have the diet, the exercise, and changes to maintain that weight.

39:14Tim Seymour:In case viewers didn't see you the first time on Fast Money, it's actually a device, and you put it in your arm. They're like little needles that actually read your glucose real time, and you can see everything sort of on a dashboard on your phone or computer. It's an app. And it tells you when your glucose is spiking, when you're not, you've logged what you eat, et cetera. I'm curious, though, because there's a cost involved. It's a monthly subscription or an annual subscription. And how that has been shaped, if anything, by the lower cost of GLP-1s now. I mean, it costs very little to be on a GLP-1 pill, for instance, every month.

39:51Tim Seymour:So are you finding that consumers are comparing? You know, do I pay for this or do I pay for this? And I can get a GLP-1 pill for this much a month instead of paying for a Cygnus subscription, which requires a lot more work. Yeah. No, I think there's a lot of both opportunity, but also as people look at this, they think, what is right for me? Some people don't want to be on a medication, whether it's a pill or whether it's an injectable. And in that scenario, it's how can we help keep them where they are? And then others think, hey, if I'm going to combine this together, what is the most effective way to ensure that I'm successful on my weight journey.

40:24And I think the struggle we face with 75 % of Americans that are overweight or obese is the fact that a lot of us have lost a few pounds here or there, but we've struggled to keep it off. So I think both parts of that weight management journey are a struggle.

40:35Melissa Lee:Talk about the novelty aspect. It's great for the first couple weeks, couple months. Do people stay with it or is there a waning period where, and is there a next-gen device where it's maybe not as intrusive? Yeah, no. What's really interesting here is we see the typical customer arc when they come on the solution, they have within the first week, three or four aha moments. They have the salad at the restaurant next door and they don't realize it has as much sugar as four Oreos in it from the salad dressing. And they're starting to put that together and realize this is what's affecting me. I don't see the results till I get on the scale and that's a lagging indicator.

41:09That's usually one, two, three weeks away. How do we help you today in anticipation of you're on the right path or we need to adjust slightly? And that's where I think this is really exciting for meeting people where they are at the right time and giving them the toolkit that hasn't existed. Historically, you don't drive your car without looking at the dashboard and figuring out the signals you see. We want to help you on that journey. Sharon, what about your dashboard or your technology or your hardware? It gives you a competitive moat. Seems to me there's a lot of good technology out there. You have incredible partners, by the way, and your position, I think, may have something to do with it.

41:40But what's the answer there? Yeah, I think the key really is not how do we just give someone an AI coach. It's how do we build the AI into the user experience so that the more you use our system, the more successful you are in our weight journey. And that's what we see. I wish, frankly, every app I used on my phone did that. I'd be thrilled to use my phone more often. And I think for us, taking that technology and making it feel like you don't need a PhD in statistics to figure out all of this data that you have. For example, we give you a weight signal that incorporates all this information and helps you decide and figure out, are you on the right path before you see it show up on the scale.

42:14Tim Seymour:Shoram, great to have you back. Good to see you. Keep us posted. I appreciate it. All right. Karen, what do you make of, I mean, it's an interesting device in this sort of space, which is really focused on pharmaceuticals. Well, as someone who's very connected, though, I'm charging my Oura ring right now, and I got that eight away and all the kinds of things. I mean, people like the data. Sometimes, though, I don't know. How much data do we all want to have? Yeah, it's overwhelming. Every morning on the way to school, my son asked me as if to show off, Dad, what was your sleep score last night?

42:47I don't have a good sleep score. And so maybe too much data.

42:53Tim Seymour:Coming up, what is driving auto stocks? Shares of GM and Ford are speeding higher today. How are traders are steering into the group? More Fast Money in two.

43:12Tim Seymour:Welcome back to Fast Money. The automakers are revving up again today. General Motors and Ford have both rallied double digits in just one week, with Ford hitting its highest in almost four years. Today's gains spurred by a report that both companies want preliminary approval for industrial bank charters from the FDIC. That's according to the New York Times. This is sort of an interesting one. Well, it's funny because, and Dan brought up maybe the lack of D-Reg going on in the finance world. There's been a lot of nice D-Reg if you're an automaker. Everything from emissions to what's going on in the broadening of their businesses and where they're actually expanding into ancillary businesses.

43:46So it gets back to valuation and free cash flow. This is an interesting concept. But, you know, GM right now, even based upon the numbers we have in the move in the stock, even after today's move, is trading south the seven times forward. And that's very attractive for a company that's executing.

44:01Melissa Lee:GM is still the place to be. Tim and Karen have talked about it. Good for Ford, by the way, for figuring something out. But in the game of would you rather, I think it's still General Motors over letter F.

44:10Tim Seymour:I mean, there's also the undercurrent of their now energy plays in terms of Ford energy and its use of batteries. And also GM, you know, developing a battery for the use of moon rovers, basically. I mean, so this is an interesting sort of twist also for these automakers. Yeah. So one of the things I was thinking about is Silverado and how how great those margins are and how how vulnerable they may be. But I actually thinking with all of the infrastructure build, we'll continue to see some strength in Silverados for a little while. I always look over to Dan. Oh, what is that noise? Is that are you have a hair dryer on set?

44:53I can't hear you.

44:56Tim Seymour:Thank you, Miles. Well, it's now dry. Easy on my hair dryer. Take it easy. Amazingly way of going to plug this in on Santa.

45:04Melissa Lee:You guys don't find it interesting that GM and Ford can't make electric cars, but they can make energy packs and things that are going to...

45:15Melissa Lee:By the way, Jim Farley.

45:16Tim Seymour:Yes.

45:17Melissa Lee:Georgetown grad. Georgetown grad. Spoken Georgetown's graduation last week.

45:21Tim Seymour:Nice.

45:22Melissa Lee:He was great. All right.

45:23Tim Seymour:Just saying. Up next. Go Horace. Final Trades.

45:43Tim Seymour:Final Trades, Tim. I hope you didn't blow a fuse on my baby bliss hairdryer. GM, buy it. Karen. I've got to zig when the market zags and buying some XLEs. Here, Dan.

45:57Melissa Lee:Yeah, you know what Guy always says? Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. Back to the animal house. You don't chase the SMH. You don't chase the SMH.

46:09Tim Seymour:Dan, Guy, can we level with America?

46:13Melissa Lee:About?

46:13Tim Seymour:The hairdryer.

46:14Melissa Lee:I did not actually plug it in. I had a hairdryer application sound that I played and it went through my microphone. And it's not my hair dryer, by the way. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a better one. Dollar gen.
