SOTS 2nd Hour: Consumer Concerns, On The Home Front, and Berkshire’s Big Moves 5/16/25

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen, and David Faber discussed the latest for stocks as they try to hold onto gains – and consumer concerns grow. The latest read on sentiment coming in at the top of the hour: falling to its 2nd-lowest reading on record… but consumer earnings commentary telling a different story.  The team broke it all down with JPMorgan Asset Management’s Chief Global Strategist. Plus: how to play the homebuilders with one guest who says they’re still a buy here – and more on the outlook for energy as President Trump says the U.S. is “very close” to a nuclear deal with Iran. 

Also in focus: the road ahead for Novo after its surprise CEO resignation; deal details on this possible Charter-Cox merger; Berkshire’s biggest moves according to a new 13F filing; and the big win for wealth taxpayers hidden in the GOP’s “big beautiful bill”.
