1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: This is what they flugs. I'm Brett and I'm justin.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: As Monday, the fourth of November, new information has come

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: out Judy Boy via the ato's Tax Transparency Report. Get

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: this little one, three thousand, nine hundred and eighty five

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: entities that lodged tax returns in twenty twenty two to

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three did not pay tax. There were a

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: number of reasons like tax offsets accounting uses, but it

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: all is also due to global profit shifting for some

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: big companies, not the ranking at you big tech companies.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Black fam As we kick off the new month, we're

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: very excited to launch our latest course in the Academy,

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: getting savvy with buying a property. Getting into the property

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: market can feel as complicated as learning how would you

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: break equations? So we've covered the ins and outs of

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 2: buying a property, including some hot hips. What to look

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: out for in the next six months.

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Three highly beneficial stories today Jusy Boy, Let's do it

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: for our first. Woolworths has warned its investors that earnings

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: for the six months to December are looking likely to

20
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: be five percent below last year's results.

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Not the ideal. First impression for Willie's new CEO, then

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: tell me what's going on here?

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: So juzy boy. We all know woo Works formerly the

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: Fresh Food People, formerly Safe Way.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the biggest supermarket in Australia with roughly thirty

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: seven percent market.

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Share, ahead of Coals with twenty eight percent market share.

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: And be Man Let's be honest. Willie has had a

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: loft to deal with over the past year.

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Yep, between losing their reputation is the second most trusted

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: brand in Australia down to number thirty four.

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Then the XEO resigned early after a bit of a

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: media bungle.

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: And there have been extensive inquiries into its price gouging

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: of customers by government committees.

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: But now be Man Woolly's new CEO has warned that

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: its earnings before interest in tax or it's EBERT for

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: the six months to December is expected to be down

39
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: down and.

40
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Not in the Coals down down good kind of way,

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Juzzy boy, Nope, Woolli's EBIT is expected to drop five

42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: point six percent below last year's one point six billion

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: dollars and doze boit Woolies has been forced to discount

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: its goodies.

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: But interestingly, the growth of its e commerce business has

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: also been a key reason for its e bit struggling.

47
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Interesting, so what is the key learning here?

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: When companies pursue new initiatives, they can unleash hidden costs

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: that come back to buys.

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: Yep, Woolies has done a really good job growing its

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: e commerce sales.

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: In the most recent quarter, it greuba over twenty three percent.

53
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Meaning e commerce now accounts for fourteen and a half

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: percent of all of its sales. Sounds pretty good to me,

55
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: b man, it does sound pretty good. But here's the problem,

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: O Juzzy boy e commoce sales are less profitable than

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: those in physical supermarkets. How about that?

58
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, for Woollies, they need to pick the stock, they

59
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: need to pack the stock, and they need to dispatch

60
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: it vir its logistics.

61
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Are and that is a lot more expensive than having

62
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: a customer rock up to the shop and b.

63
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: Man, this is part of the reason. Why will the

64
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: share price drop more than six percent after the news?

65
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: For our second story, Apple has seen its quarterly sales

66
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: jump five percent after investors got their first peak on

67
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: how its iPhone sixteen sales are fairy.

68
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Surely every person is just buying the iPhone sixteen to

69
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: get rid of sire.

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: So tell me what well, Apple needs zero introduction three

71
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: point five for trillion US dollar company.

72
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: Fair to say, value is around the same as the

73
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: annual GDP of India, a COFU with nearly one point

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: five billion people and juzzyboy.

75
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Apple released its new iPhone sixteen in the US in

76
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: late September, but it's Apple Intelligence features still haven't been

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: rolled out.

78
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: And now, b Man. Apples announced that its revenue was

79
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: up six percent year over year to nearly ninety five

80
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: billion US dollars.

81
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: And juzbay overall iPhone revenue jumped six percent, So it

82
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: seems like iPhone nerds are chueuing up big time here.

83
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Slow down there, b Man, because despite all the backslabs

84
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: and the high fives around these results, Apple still needs

85
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: to take stock and look in its rearview mirror.

86
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you're alluding to something here. Why is that?

87
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's because Apple services business, which generated nearly twenty

88
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: five billion US dollars, is facing some pretty big challenges

89
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: right now.

90
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Yep, Disney has joined Netflix and they're Spotify as well.

91
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: They're all skipping the App Store when it comes to

92
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: their own new subscriptions.

93
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: And They're pushing customers to sign up directly through their

94
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: website to avoid the thirty percent commission that Apple charges

95
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: in the app Store's war juzzy boys.

96
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

97
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Not all revenue streams are created equally.

98
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Good news for Apple that it's seen a growth in

99
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: its iPhones recently, but.

100
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Its services division is what a lot of Apple investors

101
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: are currently drawn to and excited by.

102
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: That's, of course, the division that includes revenue from Apple

103
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: TV plus iCloud, and of course the App Store.

104
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: In fact, the man Apple's gross margin for its services

105
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: business this quarter was seventy four percent.

106
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: And Judy boy, don't followf your chair over there. That's

107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: almost double the approx. Forty percent margin for all of

108
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Apple's hardware products.

109
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: And that's why Apple's been pushing services hard for that

110
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: particular reason.

111
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. As companies like Netflix and Disney, they

112
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: funnel users elsewhere. Apple services revenue has just started to

113
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: slow down.

114
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: In fact, its services revenue was behind its forecast for

115
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: the last quarter.

116
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: So despite these positive results, Apple investors will be keeping

117
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: a very close eye on this one.

118
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: For our third and final story, Meta shares have dropped

119
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: four percent after its quarterly update warned that AI investments

120
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: were expected to ramp up.

121
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Half bought, half man Zuckerberg has clearly not made investors happy.

122
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: What is going on?

123
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: We no mata as the massive tech company that's behind

124
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: some of the bigger social media platforms. Your facebooks, your Instagram's,

125
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: You're WhatsApps.

126
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Do not forget threads, juzzy boy man.

127
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: It hard to imagine b Man. This one point four

128
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: trillion US dollar company started as an online student directory.

129
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: And twenty years later, it's trying to replace smartphones with

130
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: the metaverse.

131
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: And now b man. Metas announced its quarterly results of

132
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: just over forty billion US dollars in sales or a

133
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: nineteen percent increase your own year, which was way more

134
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: than investors had expected, but as daily active users only

135
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: increased by five percent, which was less than investors were

136
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: hoping for, and as a result, Metas shares actually dropped

137
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: over four percent and be Man. On top of these results,

138
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: Meta also announced that spending on its AI and its

139
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: metaverse is going to ramp.

140
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Up, and half man, half bot Zuckerberg gave serious airtime

141
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: to the positive outcomes from its investments in AI.

142
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: So what is the key learning here.

143
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Highlighting success stories is a key way in which companies

144
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: justify investments to the share market.

145
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: One thing that's stuck out in metas quarterly update was

146
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: the amount of airtime that it gave to how AI

147
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: investments have performed so far.

148
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: They claim Meta Ai was on track to be the

149
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: most used AI assistant in the universe, with over five

150
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: hundred million monthly active users.

151
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: It seems like a bit of a stretch to me

152
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: and b Man. Beta also claim that AI driven recommendations

153
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: have led to an increasing time spent on Facebook and Instagram.

154
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like Metas buttering up investors with these AI success stories.

155
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Definitely does b Man, especially given that Meta's capital expenditure

156
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: could reach up to fifty billion US dollars in twenty

157
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: twenty five.

158
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: So if investors are going to see billion spent on

159
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: non core business investments, you can bet they'll want to

160
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: see payoffs sooner rather than later.

161
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,040
