12:46 pm: Millions of Americans may not be able to pay bills. These banks are offering relief


In the face of the global pandemic, millions of Americans may not be able to pay their bills this month.

To that end, a growing number of financial institutions, including Ally Financial, Bank of America, Citi and Fifth Third Bank, have taken steps to offer some assistance for customers affected by Covid-19.

The coronavirus aid relief bill also offers some credit protections. For example, lenders and financial institutions need to report accounts as “current” (as opposed to delinquent) — but it doesn’t happen automatically; borrowers must first apply for help.

“Speak up and ask for a break,” said Ted Rossman, industry analyst at CreditCards.com. —Jessica Dickler

Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.

Amazon — Shares of Amazon rose nearly 4% to a new all-time high as the e-commerce giant experienced unprecedented demand amid coronavirus-related shutdowns nationwide. The stock climbed nearly 22% this year despite the market sell-off. Tuesday’s gain pushed its market capitalization to more than $1.1 trillion.

Roku — Shares of the television streaming platform jumped more than 10% after the company said it expects its first-quarter streaming hours to be 13.2 billion, a 49% increase year-over-year. Roku said it expects Q1 revenue to be slightly higher than expected in its prior outlook, and still expects strong growth in active accounts and streaming hours as consumers are home amid the coronavirus shutdown.

Tesla — Shares of the electric automaker soared 12% following an upgrade to neutral from underperform at Credit Suisse. The firm said Tesla’s competitive advantage in the electric vehicle world has increased as the coronavirus disruption forces legacy automakers to make tough decisions about product investment. Still, Credit Suisse hiked its price target to $580 per share from $450 per share, which is below Tesla’s current price.

JPMorgan — Shares of JPMorgan fell more than 4%, erasing earlier gains of more than 3%, as investors digested its first-quarter earnings that came in well below analysts’ expectations. The bank on Tuesday posted quarterly per share earnings of 78 cents, missing analysts’ $1.84 estimate, according to Refinitiv. However, its revenue proved to be more resilient, slipping 3% from a year earlier to $29.07 billion. JPMorgan’s trading division also posted a 32% increase in revenue to a record $7.2 billion.

Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean — Shares of cruise lines — one of the hardest-hit industries from the coronavirus shutdown — rose as the coronavirus outlook appeared to be improving in the U.S. Shares of Norwegian Cruise Line jumped 6.5%. Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean rose 8.7% and 10.5%, respectively.

Johnson & Johnson — The medical supply company’s shares rose by 4% after it beat Wall Street expectations for the first quarter and hiked its dividend by 6.3%. Revenue growth in the pharmaceutical segment offset declines in the medical-device unit as the coronavirus pandemic forced hospitals to delay elective procedures. The company cut its 2020 earnings outlook, but CFO Joseph Wolk said on “Squawk Box” that “we’re in great financial position.”

Wells Fargo — The San Francisco bank dropped 4.5% after it reported earnings per share of just 1 cent in the first quarter, well below the 33 cents per share analysts had been expecting. Wells Fargo said it set aside an additional $3 billion in reserves to protect it in the event a significant portion of its customers are unable to pay debt owed on credit cards and loans. The results were the first for the bank since the coronavirus outbreak worldwide and the introduction government efforts to keep workers home to slow the spread of the disease.

Boeing — Shares of Boeing fell as much as 3% after its customers cancelled 150 of 737 Max orders last month, deepening the crisis the company faces amid the coronavirus pandemic and the continued grounding of its best-selling plane after two fatal crashes. Brazilian airline Gol canceled 34 of the narrow-body planes and leasing firm Avolon scrapped orders for 75 of them.

Anheuser-Busch InBev — The beverage company’s shares dropped 3% after it cut its dividend in half. The parent company of Budweiser will now pay 0.5 Euros per share instead of 1 Euro per share. The company also delayed its shareholders meeting that would approve the dividend, originally scheduled for April 29, until June 3.

Marriott — Shares of the hotel chain gained 2% on news of a new credit facility worth $1.5 billion. Marriott also said revenue per available room in the Greater China region was improving, adding group customers were tentatively rebooking for later in 2020.

Boeing reports 150 737 Max cancellations in March
Boeing customers canceled a staggering number of 737 Max orders last month, deepening the crisis the company faces amid the coronavirus pandemic and the continued grounding of its bestselling plane after two fatal crashes.

The Chicago-based manufacturer on Tuesday posted 150 cancellations of its beleaguered 737 Max jets in March, the most in decades, the company said. Brazilian airline Gol canceled 34 of the narrow-body planes and leasing firm Avolon scrapped orders for 75 of them, a move it announced earlier this month. Net cancellations in the month totaled 119 thanks to 31 orders for wide-body passenger planes and military aircraft.


That brought net orders Boeing removed from its order list in first three months of the year to 307 planes, a sharp turnaround for a company that just over a year ago was aiming to increase output of its planes to meet strong demand.

Boeing shares were down 1% in late-morning trading, up from the session lows hit after the company released the dismal figures.

Boeing’s airline customers are now facing the steepest drop in demand ever recorded because of Covid-19 and harsh measures like stay-at-home orders to slow its spread. The pandemic comes on top of the more than year-long grounding of the 737 Max after 346 people were killed in two crashes.

“We are working closely with our customers, many of whom are facing significant financial pressures, to review their fleet plans and make adjustments where appropriate,” Boeing said in a statement. “At the same time, Boeing continues to adjust its order book to adapt to lower-than-planned 737 MAX production in the near term.”

Boeing earlier this month suspended operations at a South Carolina plant where it makes 787 wide-body planes, effectively halting its commercial aircraft production after Seattle-area factories were shut down temporarily, because of the pandemic and government restrictions aimed at curbing Covid-19. More than 100 Boeing employees have tested positive for the disease. The company employs about 160,000 people.


Boeing is scheduled to release first-quarter earnings on April 29, when executives are expected to detail the financial damage the virus has had on aircraft demand as well as measures the company is taking to shore up cash to weather the crisis.

Boeing last month sought $60 billion in federal aid for itself and the supply chain, but CEO Dave Calhoun balked at government equity stakes in exchange for government relief.
