Atlanta is a pretty wild place. It’s got a huge car scene so much so that a rapper opened a club and sports bar at a local gas station. Owned by Migos rapper Quavo and local Atlanta restaurateurs Kelan and Vinny Watson, the club is appropriately called V12 Restaurant And Sports Bar and it’s built inside of a BP gas station across from Georgia Tech University. The 7,500 square foot club and sports bar has two VIP rooms called ‘The Kelan” and ‘The Vinny.” The interior of the club looks like like a pretty high-end place, with shiny metal accents and European furniture from the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.

Jim Cramer's daily rapid fire looks at stocks in the news outside the CNBC Investing Club portfolio. Carvana : Shares of the buying and selling online platform were soaring 35% on Thursday after a record first quarter. CEO Ernie Garcia realized, unlike Wall Street analysts had, that he was OK after getting the Apollo money, Jim Cramer said. "He's got this terrific way to be able to refurbish cars and then sell them at a higher a price. He saves people a lot of money." Etsy : Shares of the online marketplace for handmade goods were sinking roughly 17% after an earnings miss. Etsy CEO Josh Silverman said he executed poorly. "That's all you needed" to push this stock lower, Cramer said. Cigna : A quarterly beat and guidance raise here bucks the trend of some other insurance providers. The stock was up but turned lower. "People hate that group right now," Cramer said. Wayfair : The online furniture retailer posts better revenue and a smaller per-share loss. The stock was jumping roughly 11.5%. "Where do you buy when you are strapped?" Cramer asked, rhetorically. "You don't go to RH [formerly known as Restoration Hardware]. You go to [Wayfair.]" Trade Desk : Jefferies upgraded the cloud-based ad-buying platform to a buy from hold, seeing an inflection. "This measures streaming," Cramer said. "These guys are going against [ Alphabet 's] Google and doing a remarkable job."

Toyota’s upmarket brand Lexus has always been focused on innovative engineering concepts, though not typically in the service of speed. The pocket protector dorks at the company usually spend their efforts trying to find a way to make cars quieter or softer, but for a short time from 2010 to 2012, those engineers assembled 500 examples of one of the most fabulous supercars to ever have existed. One of the 38 red examples built is crossing the auction block again at Mecum’s Indianapolis sale this month, and if you have the means, maybe go bid on it. It didn’t sell at the company’s Kissimmee sale in January, so the bid goes on.

Ford Motor on Wednesday evening delivered higher than expected profits in the first quarter, driven by strength in its commercial business. Positive updates to its full-year outlook helped send shares rallying by roughly 2.5% in after-hours trading. Automotive revenue increased 2% year over year, to $38.89 billion, missing analysts' forecasts of $40.1 billion, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings-per-share fell 22% to 49 cents, beating EPS estimates of 42 cents. Earnings before interest and taxes declined 19% from last year to $2.76 billion, but the EBIT was better than the $2.47 billion analysts forecasted. Ford Why we own it : We're in Ford due to management's focus on getting out of money-losing businesses, increasing product quality, and quickly shifting production based on consumer preferences. All of these factors stand to support higher earnings and cash flow over time, which will in turn lend themselves to greater shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks. Competitors : General Motors , Tesla and Stellantis Weight in portfolio : 2.14% Most recent buy : Dec. 29, 2022 Initiated : Nov. 24, 2020 Bottom line Ford's results show it is off to a solid start to the year. Profits came in much better than expected, thanks to its Ford Pro unit, which every quarter looks more and more undervalued and misunderstood by Wall Street. In fact, one analyst on the conference call —influential Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley — speculated that a 10 times EBIT multiple on the Pro business alone could value the segment at double Ford's entire market cap of $51.75 billion. The momentum in Pro and the durable profits it generates is why we continue to be baffled by how Ford trades at one of the lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples in the S & P 500 . To take advantage of...
