Should the United States delist Chinese stocks? At first thought with all the craziness of the trade war it sounds like delisting all the Chinese companies from the American stock markets may be a good idea. It is important to know that there are 286 Chinese companies listed on major US stock exchanges. You'll recognize some of the names like Alibaba, Baidu and JD.com. It is estimated by analysts at Goldman Sachs that US institutional investors currently own about $830 billion worth of Chinese stocks. That is more than two times what the Chinese own of US stocks as that is estimated around $370 billion. But a quick sell off could bring down stock valuations and make it difficult to get out of many of these stocks on both sides. An important piece of information I brought up a couple years ago was the Accountable Act which came to be in 2020. This allows the Securities Exchange Commission to ban foreign companies from trading if American regulators are not allowed to inspect the auditors for three years in a row. I always worry about Chinese companies because of what I call government accounting. They are not held to the same accounting standards there and I believe companies may list financial statements based on what the government tells them. There have been some Chinese companies that delisted themselves rather than going through an audit. I think that tells you quite a bit. My feeling is we should not delist all the Chinese stocks that trade on American stock exchanges under what is known as ADRs, but be sure that the Chinese companies have the same transparency as American companies when it comes to their financial statements. If we can't get that transparency, then those companies should be delisted.    Jobs report shows more evidence the economy is in good shape US nonfarm payrolls grew by 177k in the month of April, which easily topped the estimate of 133k. Jobs remained robust in health care as the sector added 51k jobs in the month of April and employment in transportation and warehousing and financial activities was also strong as the groups added 29k and 14k jobs respectively in the month. Other categories like construction, manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, and retail trade saw little or no change in payrolls, while government declined by 9k jobs in the month. Government jobs are now down by 26k since January, but remember employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are still counted as employed. This likely means we will continue to see losses accelerate in this category as the year continues. Negatives in the report included the fact that employment numbers were revised down by a total of 58k in the previous two months. Also, April's reading was lighter than March's reading of 185k, but considering the unemployment rate remains at 4.2%, I still see these jobs gains as impressive, especially with all the negativity that people have been discussing. With that said, I still do anticipate weaker numbers in terms of the payroll additions in future months, but if the unemployment rate remains low I don't see that as a problem. On the inflation front, we also got good news with average hourly earnings rising just 3.8%. I see this as a healthy increase that does not put pressure on inflation like when wages were growing over 5% in 2022.     Job openings look problematic on the surface In the March Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, job openings totaled 7.2 million. This was below February's reading of 7.5 million and the estimate, which also stood at 7.5 million. This is still not super concerning to me. We tend to forget how strong the labor market has been and while we continue to see a softening, there is plenty of room before I see cause for concern. Just for reference, job openings in 2019 averaged approximately 7.2 million, in 2018 they averaged approximately 6.8 million, and in 2017 they averaged approximately 6.2 million. Compare that to where we are today and that should give you more comfort. Another area I saw as positive in the report was the fact that quits totaled 3.3 million, which produced a quit rate of 2.1%. This is important because if people were truly concerned about a major slowdown and thought they would not be able to find work elsewhere, I don't believe they would be quitting their jobs. These quit numbers are still quite close to 2019 levels, which many considered as a very strong economy. That year quits averaged approximately 3.5 million and there was an average quit rate of about 2.3%. Also in the report, we saw layoffs remained quite low at 1.6 million. Back in 2019, layoffs averaged around 1.8 million per month. There is no doubt that uncertainty remains and that will have some impact on businesses and their hiring plans, but in terms of it pushing the economy into a major recession, since we are coming from such a healthy level, I just don't see that happening.   Are we in the middle of a recession? The first reading of Q1 GDP showed a decrease of 0.3%. A recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of declining GDP, so some may argue we are half way there. Let us not forget in 2022 we did see two consecutive quarters of declining GDP as Q1 declined 1.4% and Q2 showed an advance estimate that was down 0.9%. After further research the second quarter ended up seeing a total reversal and it is now reported to have actually grown by 0.3%. Even with the difficult start, that year ended with a 2.1% growth rate. We also can't forget that the National Bureau of Economy Research (NBER) makes the official call on recession and they use a broader set of indicators that led them not to declare a recession in 2022. I say all of this because I still believe even if we hit a technical recession, if employment remains strong, I don't believe we would have an “official” recession. I am still unsure that we will even see Q2 GDP decline and we could also see revisions to Q1 that lift it to a positive reading. I say this because if you look at the actual underlying numbers in the report, it is not nearly as bad as the headline decline. On the positive front, consumer spending actually grew 1.8% in the quarter as services showed a nice increase of 2.4%. Also, private domestic investment saw a surge of 21.9%, this was led by investments in equipment as they grew 22.5% in the quarter. You might be asking with numbers like these how did we see a negative GDP? To start, government spending fell 1.4% in the quarter. This was led by a decline of 5.1% in spending by the federal government. The group as a whole ended up subtracting 0.25% from the headline GDP number. While this was impactful, the real reason for the decline in GDP was trade. Companies were trying to get ahead of looming tariffs and imports surged 41.3%. This compared to an increase of just 1.8% for exports. The huge discrepancy caused the trade component of GDP to decrease the headline number by 4.83%! While the economy is no doubt digesting these trade conversations and the tariffs, I still believe the economy is in alright shape when you look at the underlying numbers. I did also want to mention more good news on inflation as the March headline PCE showed an increase of 2.3%, which compares to last month's reading of 2.7% and core PCE came in at just 2.6%, which was a nice decline from February's reading of 3.0%. I believe these numbers will likely increase with the tariffs, but underlying inflation looks to be quite healthy.   Financial Planning: Protecting Yourself from Home Title Theft Home title theft is a type of real estate fraud where someone illegally transfers the ownership of your home by forging your name on title documents.  This is often done using stolen personal information to file fraudulent deeds with the county recorder's office. Once the title appears to be in their name, the thief may try to take out loans against the property, sell it to an unsuspecting buyer, or use it in other schemes that could put your home and finances at risk. This crime can go undetected for months if property owners aren't actively monitoring their title.  Having a mortgage or HELOC on your house can make it more difficult for a thief to steal your title since the bank has a lien against the property, but it is still possible. There are private companies that charge monthly fees to alert you of changes to your home title, but they do not prevent the title from being stolen.  You can also purchase home title insurance that will help pay for legal fees if you have to go to court if your title is stolen.  Homeowners in San Diego County can access a free alternative called “Owner Alert”. Jordan Marks who is the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk was behind this, and it is a great benefit that all San Diego property owners should take advantage of.  This service works by notifying you by email whenever a document is recorded against your property, helping you catch potential fraud early.  Signing up is simple and can be done on the San Diego County Assessor's website. You just need your name, email address, and parcel number and it provides the same type of monitoring offered by paid services, making it unnecessary to spend money for peace of mind when this tool is already available for free.   Companies Discussed: Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (ZBH), Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC)Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)

Opening its doors with just four toolmakers 50 years ago, Smithstown Light Engineering Ltd is now a business with three manufacturing sites and over 165 employees. Working with the world's leading medical device and orthopaedic companies, Smithstown extensively uses OPEN MIND Technologies‘ hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite to streamline its throughput and maximise efficiency. Initially a toolmaking business supplying plastic injection moulds to the electronics industry, the Shannon-based business transitioned to medical manufacturing in 1990—and it hasn't looked back since. With two sites in Shannon spanning 80,000sq/ft and a third 15,000sq/ft facility in Poland, 75% of the company's technology is less than 5 years old. Certified to ISO: 9001, ISO:13485 and ISO:14001, Smithstown has a bank of Citizen sliding head turning centres, in-house heat treatment, Rollomatic, Jung and Jones & Shipman grinding centres, DMG MORI and Mikron machining centres, Trumpf 3D additive manufacturing and Makino EDM technology. Working with renowned clients such as Stryker, Boston Scientific, Zimmer Biomet, and Cook Medical, to name a few, the company provides a turnkey service from concept and design through prototyping, machining, and validation of medical components and orthopaedic implants. With over 14 million components manufactured annually, the Irish manufacturer adopts stringent quality measures that are a necessity for ultra-precision medical device parts used in life-saving surgery. Alluding to his role within the company and a background in Smithstown Engineering, Gerard Henn from Smithstown Light Engineering says: “I've been here now nearly three years in the role of CEO, and I support the principal director of the business in the running of the operation. Smithtown started in 1974, so we are now 50 years in existence. Our principal area of expertise is precision machining to impeccable quality levels with customer service. We really pride ourselves in supporting the customer in all their difficulties and all their successes.” Manufacturing high precision parts to stringent standards, Gerard alludes to why the County Clare company opted for hyperMILL from OPEN MIND Technologies: “There are so many different options in the marketplace, but OPEN MIND made it much easier for us to work forward with hyperMILL. The explanation of the facets, the features, and how we could optimise our machining strategies and cutting paths – it has everything. That worked in our favour. The relationship with OPEN MIND and its hyperMILL system came together and created a partnership with us.” When Gerard joined the company, one of his aims was to upskill the staff, which was a critical necessity considering the shortage of skilled engineers. Alluding to this, Gerard adds: “OPEN MIND were very enthusiastic and got behind us. They understood what we were trying to achieve, and it's been a positive relationship all the way through. We'd recommend OPEN MIND to any companies out there who are interested in upskilling their internal workforce – the partnership has been extremely positive.“ Looking closer at the types of work the company is involved in, Gerard continues: “We operate in the medical space, and we support the orthopaedic and medical device companies in Ireland and also globally. We also do instrumentation for procedures, so it's very much a medical-focused enterprise.” Occupying a large floor area and two facilities, the company is continually evolving. Gerard adds: “So, we have over 200 employees and two sites here in Shannon. The second site is just literally 1 kilometre down the road, so you find us trekking up and down quite a bit, but you see the same technologies and approach in both buildings. We have a third facility in Rzeszów, Poland, a business that's been operating for 3 to 4 years. We also recently announced a major expansion there.“ “What we find in any process development is you're going through an iterative process. You're optimising the machining and cutting process, checking dimensions back to the machine to the virtual CAD station, and bringing all that together. So, I think the fact that OPEN MIND has supported us so much means we have a great understanding of hyperMILL. The upskilling is well in parallel and enables us to bring all the strands together to succeed. By success, I mean that we can deliver parts to specification earlier. That is because that's what everyone wants. Customers want parts in their hands, and having that collaboration of everyone allows us to achieve that.”

As you heard us mention on Friday's Morning Focus, and during our news bulletins this morning, Clare GAA has announced a multi-year deal for naming rights on the county grounds. Shannon-based company Zimmer Biomet has come on board as the new title sponsors, with the home of Clare GAA now being rebranded as Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóig It is the first time that a sponsorship deal has been secured for the grounds, with the arrangement set to be in place for the next three years, with the option to extend for a further two. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Clare GAA's Chief Operating Officer, Deirdre Murphy, and Head of Manufacturing at Zimmer Biomet Shannon, Michael O'Malley. Photo (C): Clare FM

In today's episode of Executive Decisions, host Sarah Delahanty sits down with Todd Davis who shares his rich career history from building airplanes to his executive career in the orthopedic industry. Todd reflects on his journey from managing older union workers while still in his 20's to his transition into executive leadership roles.

From Sales and Marketing to Product Development, Strategy, and M&A, Todd has demonstrated his visionary leadership skills by accelerating growth opportunities and fostering world-class teams and cultures. After retiring from his role as President and General Manager of the Global Knee Business at Zimmer Biomet in July 2019, Todd has redirected his focus towards the startup landscape within the Medtech sector. He currently serves as an Independent Board Director for PeekMed Health, a Board Observer for Enhanced Medical Nutrition, and a Board Director for JointVue, while also providing consulting expertise for companies like Smith+Nephew, Canary Medical, Maxx Ortho, Kinamed, Kneevoice, and various other OEMs.   Summary and highlights from the show: Todd Davis had a formative experience working full-time at Rockwell International while still going to school. He was promoted into a managerial role in his mid to late 20's, leading teams of older aircraft mechanics. Davis learned to lead by example and develop a strong work ethic during this time, working 70 hours a week while pursuing his education at night. His transition to orthopedics involved leading a team of older individuals in the customer service group at Zimmer Biomet, where he applied his leadership skills and learned to be persistent in pursuing his goals. Todd emphasizes the importance of not chasing money but rather finding something you enjoy and working hard at it, as advised by his father. He shares his experience of persistence in pursuing opportunities, such as transitioning into marketing at Zimmer Biomet despite initial rejection from the vice president of marketing. Building relationships is crucial in the orthopedic industry, and Todd highlights the impact of handwritten thank-you notes in making lasting connections. Todd reflects on the importance of work-life balance, which he prioritized by scheduling family events and delegating responsibilities as he advanced in his career. Transitioning to board roles and mentoring startups has been rewarding for Todd, allowing him to leverage his experience and make a meaningful impact. He discusses his involvement in community initiatives, such as leading a capital campaign for a school expansion, and his interest in personal development through reading.
