With a surgically repaired back keeping golf's biggest spectacle Tiger Woods off the links, the Nike golf business he once put on that back is struggling. Nike reported this week that sales at its golf business plunged 8% to $706 million for the fiscal year ended May 31. Excluding the impact of the strong U.S. dollar, sales dropped 6% from the prior year. It was the worst-performing business for Nike in terms of sales last fiscal year. Weak sales for Nike golf -- which represents about 3% of total sales for the apparel and footwear giant -- has now become a recurring theme in recent […]

U.S. operations of Deutsche Bank and Santander have again failed the Federal Reserve's stress test, leaving them unable to send cash back to their European parents and drawing a rebuke from regulators. The results leave Santander Holdings USA with the dubious honor of being the only lender to have failed the tests three years running, while Deutsche Bank Trust Corp tallied up its second failure in a row. Market support for the lenders was already fragile following Britain's decision to leave the EU and the two banks shares reacted predictably to the U.S. failure. Deutsche […]
Global growth could be under threat now that the U.K. has voted to leave the European Union, President Barack Obama has said. Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa, Canada, following a summit with the leaders of Canada and Mexico, Obama said, "There are some genuine longer term concerns for global growth if in fact Brexit goes through." He warned that the implications of lower growth "freezes the possibility of investment in Great Britain or in Europe as a whole at a time when global growth rates were weak already, [Brexit] doesn't help." Markets plunged after the result of the […]
Green outweighed red among Asian stock leader boards on Thursday as Fitch Ratings underlined the region's relative insulation from the Brexit storm by stating it had no immediate ratings impact on Asia Pacific banks and sovereign debt. The report, which singled Japan out as a potential exception, follows a period of post-Brexit resilience among Chinese stocks. Even before European indices began to rebound on Tuesday, the CSI Composite index had held firm and towards the end of the trading day on Thursday was up 2.4% from its closing price last Thursday, before the outcome of the U.K. […]
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener. Tuesday was a relief rally, Jim Cramer told his Mad Money viewers Wednesday. Today's move, however, is a welcome change that is also likely permanent. Cramer said sometimes investors are willing to pay a higher price today because yesterday's price was just too low. That was certainly the case today in several sectors, where investors were re-evaluating what stocks are actually worth. Indeed, the markets have all but forgotten about Brexit, expect to note that thanks to Britain's poor […]
With all that's going on in the world from Brexit to Zika, U.S. investors may want to consider keeping their money at home in multi-family real estate projects. But not necessarily in publicly traded real estate investment trusts. " Buying real estate is better done on a direct basis," said Eric Jones, chief investment officer of Dome Equities. "Public REITs are too correlated to the public market and interest rates in particular. Jones spent 11 years at Citibank and GE Capital prior to joining Dome Equities. While at Citibank, Jones spent two years […]

Constellation Brands shares, at around $159, are on a momentum ride to the stars, up 12% so far this year and 37% over the past 52 weeks. That's why TheStreet's Jim Cramer is particularly interested in the beer, wine and spirits purveyor's earnings, expected Thursday before the open. This is one of the few consumer packaged-goods companies out there growing sales at a double-digit rate, Cramer, co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, said Wednesday from the New York Stock Exchange. The Modelo and Corona beer brands have really helped accelerate […]
