renaissance ipo etf while it's down 50
[2]
from the highs is up 17 over the past
[5]
month take a look at a firm robin hood
[8]
that was our mystery chart warby parker
[10]
unity software they're all down more
[11]
than 70 percent from the all-time highs
[13]
but they've also climbed at least 30
[15]
percent over the past four weeks so
[17]
should you chase them or not let's ask
[19]
jeff kilburg he's sanctuary wealth cio
[21]
and a cnbc contributor jeff it's good to
[23]
have you and we'll just kind of walk
[25]
through these one by one let's start
[26]
with the firm which is up 71 over the
[29]
past month
[31]
no doubt kelly it's amazing to see a
[33]
firm i'm actually a user of a firm
[35]
because they work with peloton and
[36]
peloton holds a lot of my dry cleaning i
[39]
don't really use the pellet town but a
[40]
firm at the end of the day has taken
[41]
just a dramatic haircut kelly it was a
[44]
47 billion valuation now it's down to 11
[46]
billion but you're right you are seeing
[48]
a little bit of investor gravitation
[50]
here this ipo is at 49 so when you talk
[53]
about
[54]
the ability for this modern layaway this
[58]
is truly the modern layaway you can buy
[60]
now and pay it later so that's what a
[61]
firm has to do so i think they're
[63]
getting exciting their ceo talked about
[64]
the fact when we actually do see a
[66]
recession whatever year that recession
[68]
may come kelly you'll see the value of a
[71]
firm as it really is this modern-day
[73]
version of layaway so this is a buy for
[75]
you i should note three of these are buy
[76]
for you one is a cell so you are
[78]
constructive on some of these ipos that
[80]
i think a lot of people have kind of
[82]
lumped out as a category
[84]
yes and kelly i'd be clear this is a
[86]
trade this is a trade opportunity this
[87]
is not a long-term investment but some
[89]
of these names as they're so beaten up
[91]
there is opportunity for that longer
[92]
term hold so this trade is a little bit
[94]
longer term in nature all right you like
[96]
warby parker too it's up 36 over the
[98]
past month i do and warby parker's
[101]
interesting i'm actually a user i have a
[102]
couple different glasses from them i
[104]
really like the client experience they
[106]
have a tremendous client experience but
[107]
yes it's in oversold conditions but it
[109]
does have a little bit of nervousness
[111]
when you talk about the last messaging
[113]
from their ceo was that they're very
[115]
concerned and about the uncertain macro
[118]
environment obviously that's shared
[119]
across the s p 500 but i think there's
[121]
an opportunity to buy warby parker so
[123]
yes this is a buy as well kelly all
[125]
right a firm and warby what about unity
[127]
software this one's a little bit more of
[128]
a contentious stock there are headlines
[130]
now about them rejecting app 11's buyout
[132]
offer the shares are down about seven
[134]
percent today why do you like it
[136]
you know unity is really interesting
[138]
ticker u this is actually two dollars
[140]
above its ipo it's up about 40 47 the
[144]
last month but to your point kelly it's
[145]
still down 61
[147]
and i would preface that that unity
[148]
feels like my wife as well as you kelly
[151]
the prettiest girl in the room right now
[152]
so they're getting all kinds of offers
[154]
they had to reject the recent proposal
[156]
from app lovin and this is all in the
[158]
wake of the apple privacy issues so i
[161]
think you have to consider yes the
[162]
52-week high is 210 dollars yes we're a
[164]
long way away from that but this is a
[166]
really interesting story as we're really
[168]
trying to navigate and understand the
[170]
metaverse this is actually a great point
[172]
that you saw facebook warn in the wake
[175]
of those apple privacy issue changes
[177]
they weren't about 10 billion coming out
[179]
of their bottom line and absolutely
[180]
happened so i think unity is actually
[182]
really positioned quite well if you use
[184]
the analogy about building a house you
[186]
need unity and it's not just gaming here
[188]
kelly this is uh there's a creative
[190]
content play and now that they're really
[192]
going to take an iron source that 4.4
[194]
billion dollar merger that they're
[195]
already playing on i think there's a
[197]
potential for a bigger piece of the
[199]
puzzle down the road and remember unity
[201]
is actually bigger than app 11 from a
[203]
market cap perspective so i want to be a
[204]
buyer here and i think this is a much
[205]
longer hold as we really figure out what
[207]
this metaverse actually shakes out for
[209]
the rest of 2022 as well as 2023. it's a
[212]
helpful explanation because it's one of
[213]
those companies i watch going i know
[215]
they're up to something you know i mean
[217]
can't quite always figure out what it is
[219]
um but unity is a buy for you so let's
[221]
move on to the name you're not as
[223]
attracted to here which is robinhood i
[225]
mean this was a terrible 2021 terrible
[227]
start to the first year it has found
[229]
some traction lately though why are you
[230]
staying away
[232]
kelly when i first came on cnbc talking
[234]
about this ipo for robin hood i was a
[236]
seller then it's a flawed business model
[239]
80 of their revenue is predicated on
[241]
them selling their order flow so i know
[244]
it's commission free i know it doesn't
[245]
cost anything to trade on it but the
[247]
fact of the matter that they have an 80
[249]
model
[250]
predicated on collecting order flow
[253]
monies i think that goes away the sec is
[255]
trying to crack down that to a certain
[256]
extent be more considerate but i think
[258]
when you talk about
[260]
robin hood the lack of profitability
[261]
look at bank of america they said
[262]
they're not going to be profitable until
[264]
2025 so i didn't like it at the ipo for
[266]
39
[267]
i'm surprised it's actually in double
[268]
digits right now i want to stay away
[270]
from rob hood sell sell sell i guess to
[272]
put it differently even if you thought
[274]
that business model could stay intact
[275]
they're still not making money on it
[277]
you know that's a great point maybe i
[279]
don't like that business model that's
[280]
more of a personal view you're
[281]
absolutely right but i think the
[283]
longevity and the efficacy of that model
[285]
they're not diversified if they got more
[287]
diversified i could change my mind but
[289]
right here right now being 80 leaning
[292]
upon revenue all off of order flow
[294]
selling it doesn't work and it doesn't
[296]
add up to me kelly that's why they call
[297]
you the killer jeff thanks so much good
[299]
to see you today jeff kilburg
