  • Why Did they change it

    Um John Forte was great and now we get Melissa Lee x 2 bc she does fast money . These two are really boring hosts I don’t understand why they changed the hosts that were great . Stupid move and now another bad host change on another CNBC show that makes me skip the program . If it’s not broken don’t fix it

  • Very good

    I prefer Closing Bell over Overtime. Scott Wapner is an excellent host and brings in quality guests. I was glad to see the switch to Melissa Lee and Mike Santoli, because I was not a huge fan of Jon Fortt. Usually, I had passed on Overtime unless specific company earnings were being released after the market close. Lastly, please stop bringing back members of the Halftime Report investment committee so often. Guests like Adam Parker, Liz Ann Sonders, Dan Greenhaus, Ed Yardeni, Prof. Siegel, and ... more

  • More Guest Participation

    Enough with the excessive “reporter” (really news readers) involvement. It would be nice to hear a thing or two from your guests for a change.

    Why are CNBC’s market shows so loud? It makes listening very tiring. It’s like watching cable news.

  • I wish the CNBC hosts would stop sucking up to Trump and call the madness out…

    I’m really tired of all the shows soft-peddling the lack of coherent strategy and meat-axe approach by ”DOGE” to “downsizing” the Federal workforce and just call it what it is - the forced destruction of government services and the administrative state for everyone but the 1%. “DOGE” should, at minimum, publish a strategy, why certain things are targeted, and REAL savings achieved, not just blowhard PR. The “uncertainty” they continually refer to is because Trump and Musk have no agenda to actua... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Closing Bell: 7/17/26
Q: Is this AI launch a game changer for the market or a continuation of the AI trend?
Respondents view it as part of an ongoing shift toward AI infrastructure and competitive dynamics, with price pressure and new model options expanding usage scenarios.
Closing Bell 7/15/26
Q: What is the likely near-term impact of SpaceX's lockup on the stock price?
Analysts expect the lockup expiration to potentially release a significant amount of insider shares, which could put downward pressure on the stock if supply hits the market, while positive sentiment from bullish analyst coverage and AI growth expectations could limit downside risk.
Closing Bell Overtime: 7/14/26
Q: What is the outlook for AI-driven earnings and where should investors focus within tech and cybersecurity?
The hosts and guests agreed that AI-related demand remains a structural tailwind, with cybersecurity and AI infrastructure benefiting from durable spending; diversification away from pure AI plays was also advised.
Closing Bell Overtime: 7/14/26
Q: How should investors think about the IBM earnings miss in the context of the broader tech hardware and software cycle?
The guest suggested that the miss may reflect a larger shift where customers pre-buy hardware ahead of software, implying a longer duration impact on software vendors even as hardware demand remains supported by AI-related capex.
Closing Bell Overtime: Markets Rally on Hopes for Iran War Ending 6/15/26
Q: What does the Iran framework mean for oil and shipping markets?
The framework could ease immediate tensions and support oil prices lower in the near term, while reopening the Strait of Hormuz and stabilizing shipping could sustain energy demand and keep markets constructive.
