Inside Carlyle’s ‘long-term’ Amex bet that coronavirus cut short
Last December, about a fortnight before officials in Wuhan began telling of a strange sickness that was filling the city’s hospitals, executives at the Carlyle Group worked into the night to sign what they imagined would be one of the private equity firm’s most enduring deals. Like other big Wall Street firms, Carlyle had taken to promising investors stability instead of trying to wow them with the prospect of profits that came in spectacular bursts. In 2020, however, there may be no such thing as a stable business, and Carlyle is now trying to walk away from the Amex deal before any money has even changed hands.

Ford Is the Poster Child for America's Grand Reopening
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- After a prolonged shutdown, Ford Motor Co. officially resumed production at its North American factories this week. It hasn’t been as smooth a process as the company might have hoped: Ford had to temporarily close two critical facilities this week to allow for a deep cleaning after workers tested positive for the coronavirus. An Explorer SUV plant in Chicago was closed a second time after an employee at a nearby supplier facility tested positive for the virus, causing a parts shortage.This is the reality of manufacturing for the time being as companies fret about worker safety and the legal and reputational risks of not doing enough to protect employees. Unlike Ford, whose products fall into a category of consumer spending that’s become even more discretionary amid the pandemic, wide swaths of the industrial sector were deemed essential and allowed to remain operational. Those companies, too, have had their share of growing pains as they adjust to a new way of working.Boeing Co. temporarily closed its factories in the Puget Sound area in March after a worker died of the coronavirus and later briefly shuttered work at its 787 plant in South Carolina. CBS Minnesota reported earlier this month that a Honeywell International Inc. facility in Minneapolis had closed after a worker tested positive. Whirlpool Corp. closed its Amana, Iowa, refrigerator plant at least twice after employees tested positive for the virus, according to the Gazette local paper. Deere & Co. and Altria Group Inc.’s Philip Morris USA are among the many others that have had to close plants on a limited basis to avoid outbreaks among workers. Lockheed Martin Corp., meanwhile, said this week it will temporarily slow production of the F-35 fighter jet because of delays at suppliers. It’s a lot harder, though, to bring factories back to life than it is to just figure it out as you go along. Ford may be a manufacturer, but because it’s one of the few to have experienced an extended lockdown, it’s arguably a better benchmark for the non-industrial economy. You better believe that office-based companies that have sent most of their workers home are keeping a close eye on how the likes of Ford fare in flipping the switch back on. Seeing the automaker’s setbacks this week, companies that can operate without their employees clustered in the same place may be less keen to rush back. They’re getting a more continuous stream of work out of their employees now than they would if they had to hit the pause button and clear out the office every few weeks. And the mixed messages from the White House aren't helpful: President Donald Trump is due to visit a Ford factory in Michigan that’s been converted to ventilator production and has been wishy-washy on whether he will adhere to the company’s face-mask requirements. Already, American Express Co. CEO Steve Squeri and Visa Inc. CEO Al Kelly said this week that most of their employees would work from home for the rest of the year. Some 28% of employers recently surveyed by Challenger, Gray & Christmas said they would make work-from-home arrangements permanent for at least some employees. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and social media site Twitter Inc. are among those who have publicly said remote working will be their indefinite default option. Facebook Inc. said Thursday it would follow suit and move to a more permanent remote workforce.At the end of the day, manufacturing or non-manufacturing, it's all interconnected. How permanent this shift to work from home will be is debatable, but if companies end up needing less office space, by default that means fewer HVAC systems, commercial lighting, fire and security products or even 3M Co.’s Post-it notes. And if workers aren’t going to be commuting, do they still need to buy cars from Ford? There's a lot riding on getting reopening right.

Dow Jones Today: Pent Up Demand and Reopening in Sight
Major equity benchmarks rallied anew on Wednesday amid signs there's pent up demand in various cyclical sectors of the economy and that reopening headlines remain a significant catalyst for riskier assets.Source: Provided by Finviz * The S&P 500 jumped 1.67%. * The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.52% * The Nasdaq Composite gained 2.08% * Amid signs that previously locked down consumer and travelers want to start living life again, American Express (NYSE:AXP) was the best-performing name in the Dow today, gaining more than 4%.The rally in communication services and technology stocks has been so strong that the Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) is only a little more than 2% below its all-time highs seen in March. Proving the potency of monetary policy, the Nasdaq-100 is soaring at a time when U.S. unemployment is doing the same.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsHowever, monetary policy isn't the only policy that matters. Fiscal policy is vital too, and some (probably all) members of the Federal Reserve agree with that sentiment, with one noting today more needs to be done to help consumer confidence rebound. * 10 Lithium Stocks to Buy Despite the Market's Irrationality While rejuvenating consumer confidence and consumption could take awhile in the wake of the novel coronavirus, markets are betting that rebound will happen as highlighted by 25 of 30 Dow stocks trading higher in late trading. Disney at it AgainDisney (NYSE:DIS) was in the upper tier of Dow winners today amid rumors that if the NBA decides to wrap up its 2020 season, it will do so at facilities owned by Disney in Orlando.It's not immediately clear if the league is looking to simply conclude its regular season there and then move onto a traditional playoff format or do both in Orlando, but Disney executives say they are confident they'll soon be hosting professional basketball in Florida. Passing on PowderJohnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) was one of the Dow laggards after revealing Tuesday afternoon it will halt sales of talcum-based baby powder in the U.S. and Canada.This is a product that was previously the epicenter of litigation against the company and while JNJ said there was a campaign of misinformation involved, consumer demand for the product nonetheless decreased. Aid Helps, More NeededMcDonald's (NYSE:MCD) said today it has $40 million set aside to help franchisees grappling the effects of Covid-19, but more cash is likely needed. The company is also taking a hard line, saying aid will be available on a case-by-case basis and that if franchise owners need more money, they will have to pursue other avenues or consider selling their stores. Encouraging ForecastChevron (NYSE:CVX) was one of the Dow leaders today amid encouraging news about crude demand, the pivotal catalyst for this and other energy equities.Just a couple of months ago, this seemed like an impossibility, but today, some oil market observers believe it's possible that demand will outstrip supply later this year. Time will tell if that forecast is accurate, but it's hard to image better news than that for Chevron and the energy sector. Bottom Line on the Dow Jones TodayNot surprisingly, reopening news is positive and stocks are reflecting as much. The weekly test courtesy of jobless claims arrives tomorrow and if there's any evidence to suggest claims are declining in material fashion, stocks could rally anew.The reopening process is a slow slog, but investors are gravitating to incremental signs, including news that live sports -- though almost certainly without fans -- could be returning next month. That's one more step in the right direction and it is notable for financial markets.Todd Shriber has been an InvestorPlace contributor since 2014.

AmEx employees that need to work from office will return in phases, starting with 10% occupancy, and no likelihood of it reaching close to 50% this year.

AmEx CEO Says Most Employees Will Work Remotely for the Year
(Bloomberg) -- American Express Co. Chief Executive Officer Steve Squeri said a majority of the company’s employees will work remotely through the end of this year as it seeks to slow the spread of the coronavirus.While the New York-based credit-card issuer wants to be prepared to have half of normal staffing at most locations by the end of the year, Squeri doesn’t expect it “to get anywhere near the 50% mark by the end of 2020,” he told employees in a video message Monday.“We’ll be limiting the number of people in elevators and scheduling times for arrivals and departures,” Squeri said in the video. “And facial coverings will be required when you’re entering and moving about the building.”AmEx’s 64,500 employees are spread out across offices around the world, but its headquarters are in Manhattan, the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic. The firm also has offices in Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Sunrise, Florida, according to regulatory filings.The company’s work environment will be completely different from the one employees left earlier this year, as Covid-19 cases swelled in the U.S. and sparked widespread shelter-in-place orders across the country, Squeri said.“If you can work from home and you do not want to come in, you do not have to come in,” he said. “In fact, if you can work from home effectively, you should plan on doing so for the rest of the year.”Office LifeAmEx will have procedures for seating that ensure employees aren’t clustered together, Squeri said in the message to employees. The firm won’t allow meetings in conference rooms and no visitors or contractors will be allowed in the building.Employees won’t be allowed to sit in the cafeteria, with food instead being delivered to individual floors. The firm also is optimizing its air-conditioning systems and enhancing its cleaning protocols. Hand sanitizer will be readily available.“The key here is that returning to the office will not happen all at once,” Squeri said. “We will open buildings on a location-by-location, floor-by-floor and colleague-by-colleague basis, as each location and floor is different.”Quick PivotAmEx -- long known for its premium credit cards that offer perks for dining and travel -- has adjusted its offerings for the pandemic. The firm’s $550-a-year Platinum card now offers as much as $320 in statement credits for spending on select streaming and wireless-telephone services.The credit-card company has vowed it won’t eliminate jobs this year as a result of the pandemic. Still, it plans to reduce discretionary expenses by $3 billion, one of the largest cost-cutting initiatives in the company’s history.“We have done a great job of exiting our facilities and running the company virtually,” Squeri said in the video. “We’re more agile, flexible and less bureaucratic. It’s been inspiring to see, and I want to keep it that way.”(Updates with number of employees, plan details starting in fourth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
