☆ Greenlight's David Einhorn builds new stake in this gambling name. Here's what else he bought
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Adam Jeffery | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn continued to pick up new stocks in the first quarter, including Penn Entertainment , as the longtime value investor struggles to find opportunities in the volatile market. He established the stake at an average cost of $22.69 per share, but the stock has fallen to $17.44 as of Wednesday. Still, Einhorn said sports betting, if executed right, could take the shares much higher. "Were the market to credit PENN with merely 15% of DraftKings' value, that segment alone would be worth $20 per share." Q4 buyer's strike Einhorn had stopped building new stock positions at one point in the fourth quarter, saying he was on a "buyer's strike" due to worries about intensifying geopolitical risks.

☆ Jamie Dimon on Capital One's $35.3 billion Discover acquisition: 'Let them compete’

Jamie Dimon, President & CEO,Chairman & CEO JPMorgan Chase, speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 17th, 2024. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon isn't worried about the added competition from a bulked-up Capital One if its $35.3 billion takeover of Discover Financial gets approved. Dimon, speaking to CNBC's Leslie Picker from a Miami conference, acknowledged that if regulators approve the Capital One-Discover deal, his bank will be eclipsed as the nation's biggest credit-card lender. The deal has two major components: the credit card business and the payment network, Dimon noted. It's unclear if Capital One can create a true alternative to the dominant card networks in Visa and Mastercard with this deal, Dimon said.

The burgeoning artificial intelligence tools from companies such as OpenAI still have their share of skeptics, but don't count JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon among them. It's real," Dimon said. JPMorgan has done work on the ability to use the new technologies internally, with Dimon saying that AI will eventually "be used in almost every job." JPMorgan created a new role of chief data and analytics officer last year, in part to handle AI. Dimon said Monday that there are 200 people at JPMorgan doing research on the large language models that have recently been rolled out by tech companies.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon thinks there's a better-than-even chance that the U.S. is heading for a recession, though he doesn't see systemic issues looming. "The market is kind of pricing in a soft landing. Along with the elevated rates, markets have had to contend with the Federal Reserve rolling off its bond holdings, a process known as quantitative tightening. But they will play out and they will have an effect and in my mind I'm just kind of cautious about everything." Higher interest rates along with a recession could hit areas such as commercial real estate and regional banks hard, but with limited macroeconomic impacts, Dimon said.

(Photo by Steven Ferdman/Getty Images)Wells Fargo said Thursday one of its primary regulators has lifted a key penalty tied to its 2016 fake accounts scandal. Wells Fargo, one of the country's largest retail banks, has retired six consent orders since 2019, the year that CEO Charlie Scharf took over. The 2016 fake accounts scandal and related consent order ignited a wave of scrutiny on the bank that revealed problems related to the servicing of mortgages, auto loans and other consumer accounts. The attention tarnished the bank's reputation and forced the retirement of both ex-CEO John Stumpf in 2016 and successor Tim Sloan in 2019.

The market has managed to put behind the "economic anxiety" it faced as recently as the fourth quarter of 2023, according to Citadel CEO Ken Griffin. "The [Federal Reserve] can start to cut rates come this summer, and we will see unemployment touch up a little bit. But the overall economy looks pretty damn good right now," Griffin told CNBC's Leslie Picker on Tuesday at the MFA Network event in Miami. However, Griffin noted that the current level of federal spending has created an economy that "feels really good right now," but could come at a cost. It's creating [a] bit of euphoria right now, but it will come with a hangover," said Griffin.

☆ Greenlight’s David Einhorn ends his buyers' strike, finds a few 'promising' new stocks

"We ended our buyers' strike and found several promising new investments that we believe will help us in 2024," the hedge fund manager said in an investor letter dated Monday and obtained by CNBC. Einhorn had stopped building new stock positions at one point in the fourth quarter due to worries about intensifying geopolitical risks. Because of his conservative positioning, his hedge fund, particularly the short side, was hurt during 2023's strong year-end rally. Einhorn's hedge fund returned 22.1% in 2023, net of fees and expenses. His stellar track record made him one of the most followed hedge fund managers on Wall Street.

It would also mean that Apple would need to find a new financial partner for its popular credit card, Apple Card, and its high-yield savings accounts under the Apple brand. While Apple offers both its credit card and savings account through the wallet app on iPhones, the banking backend is handled by Goldman Sachs. When Apple first launched the Apple Card in 2019, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon was in attendance at a glitzy Apple launch event at its California campus. But the partnership has been rocky in recent years as Goldman Sachs, under CEO David Solomon, has retreated from its previous consumer banking ambitions as costs stacked up. Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs said that it would "consider strategic alternatives" for its consumer banking business.
