1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: This is what the flucks I'm bratt justin ads. Wednesday,

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: the sixth of August, Juzzy Boy Open Ai says that

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: chat jibt is on track to reach seven hundred million

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: weekly uses this week. That means almost nine percent of

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: the world's population are getting chat jibt to write emails,

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: or create recipes or just be their personal psychologists.

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Are any humans speaking to each other anymore? We man

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: it's over? What's them? With July done and dusted, the

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: best performing socks on the ASX two hundred are here,

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: and July was another month in the green three ASEX

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: two hundred jumping two point three five percent. One company,

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: shap Right, jumps over forty percent. After some major news

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: in the US, we have it all covered in the

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: flux appisode. You want to learn more about which company's

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: performed in Jai and make sure to check it out.

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Three profitable stories today, Juzzy Boy, Let's do it for

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: our first. A new Challenger airline in Australia plans to

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: compete against Quantus and Virgin within twelve months, but does

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: not have a single plane yet.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: Jesus show aviation scene might be getting a new furry

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: competitive be man, So tell me.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: More, okay, Josey boy. We know that Australia's domestic airline

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: market is dominated by the big two dogs. Yep, We've

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: got Quantus and it's trusty side kick Jetstar, and we've

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: also got Virgin Australia. According to a report from the

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: ahriable see, Virgin has thirty five percent of the market,

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Quantus has nearly thirty five percent and Jetstar has twenty

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: nine percent of the domestic market. But now a new

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: airline has announced plans to launch in Australia and rock

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the cabin.

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the name is Koala Airlines and its supposedly plans

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: to be flying high by late next year.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: But their current fleet is completely imaginary, like literally just

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: graphic design at this stage.

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: It's a mock up stage.

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: And jose boy, what is Kohala's point of difference.

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of unclear, but it's trying to position

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: itself as a more strategic, disciplined alternative on the capital

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: city routes.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: But we know from previous challenges the barriers to entry

41
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: in this industry are almost insurmountable, just.

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: Us Tiger, Bonza and Rex as well.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: So what's the key learning here.

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: In business, barriers to entry refer to the obstacles that

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: make it difficult for new companies to enter into that industry.

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: In the airline game, these barriers are sky high. You

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: need massive upfront capital to lease or buy aircraft. You

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: need to secure airport slots across Australia, you need a

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: higher train staff and meet very strict safety regulations. And

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: then once you've done all of that, you need passengers

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: who trust you to not vanish mid air.

52
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: Then b men, you're up against legacy players like Quantistant

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Virgin who already have very deep pockets and infrastructure.

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: And don't even get me started on their frequent flyer programs,

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: so b Man.

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Between BONSA and Rex in Australia, the odds are most

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: certainly against Koala.

58
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: BONSA lasted just fifteen months in the skies.

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Well, Rex lasted only three years between announcing their capital

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: city routes and collapsing.

61
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: So Josi Boy. Even with a cute marsupial name, Koala

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: will need more than mockups and the good vibes to

63
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: become a real challenger.

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: For our second story, TPG Telecom is handing back three

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: billion dollars to investors and simplifying its business model to

66
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: win over new investors.

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: TPG Telecom is in the money. What is going on here?

68
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: TPG started out in nineteen eighty six as a humble

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: tech reseller called Total Peripherals Group.

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: But in the early two thousands TPG grew into a

71
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: major player in the Australian broadband and mobile market.

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: And by twenty twenty, TPG merged with Voterafone Australia in

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: a fifteen billion dollar deal that made them TPG Telecom

74
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: and be Man. Tpgtelecom is now Australia's third largest telco

75
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: with more than five million mobile customers.

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: And now TPG's returning up to three billion dollars to

77
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: their existing shareholders after selling off a big slice of

78
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: its infrastructure business to Vocus Group.

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: And be Man. Instead of just pocketing the cash, minority

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: investors are being offered the option to reinvest up to

81
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: six hundred and eighty eight million dollars back into TPG

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: Telecom and.

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: If this is all accepted, TPG's free float would increase

84
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: from twenty three percent to thirty percent.

85
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: Interesting, So what is the key learning here?

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: The free float of a company is the portion of

87
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: the company shares that are publicly available to buy and

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: sell on a stock exchange.

89
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: You see me, man. When most of the company's shares

90
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: are tied up by just a few big investors, it

91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: can be very tricky for new investors to get in.

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: In TPG's case, it's four biggest shareholders and roughly seventy

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: seven percent of the company.

94
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: So be man. By increasing the free flow, TPG will

95
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: be able to reduce concentration of shares and improve liquidity.

96
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: And increasing the free flow to thirty percent makes it

97
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: easier and more appealing for new investors to jump on board,

98
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: which could help support the share price and make TPG

99
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: feel a bit less like an exclusive club. For our

100
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: third and final story, Reddit has seen its share price

101
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: skyrocket over thirty percent in the past five days as

102
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: investors get very excited about its growth from a new revenue.

103
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Street memes seem to be a great business model. Does

104
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: the boy tell me more?

105
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay?

106
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: So.

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: Reddit was founded in two thousand and five as the

108
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: self proclaimed front page of the Internet.

109
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: You know it's where it users up vote and down

110
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: vote content across thousands of topic based for us called subreddits.

111
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Subreddits like bread staple to trees with over one hundred

112
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: thousand subscribers. Now.

113
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Reddit listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March.

114
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: Last year, and now it's announced a boom in its

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: quarterly update. We'd been talking five hundred million bucks in

116
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: revenue this quarter, which is up seventy eight percent compared

117
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: to the same time last year, and gaily active users

118
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: on its platform rose twenty one percent year of a

119
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: year to over one hundred and ten million users.

120
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: Now here's the interesting part, Jazzy Boy. Ninety three percent

121
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: of reddits total revenue came from ads, and what about

122
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: the other revenue. Well, this quote unquote other revenue category

123
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: grew twenty four percent, and.

124
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: This is the revenue from selling reddits data to AI

125
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: companies like open ai and Google. Next minute, Reddit share

126
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: price up thirty two percent over the past five days.

127
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here.

128
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: It's not just about ad dollars anymore. It's about data dollars.

129
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: When you've got billions of posts, comments, and spicy debates,

130
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: it turns out that you've also got a gold mine

131
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: of data. And now they're managing to monetize more effectively

132
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: in two key ways.

133
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: Number One, they help advertisers build more targeted ad campaigns

134
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: based on the conversations in the forum.

135
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: And two they're selling access to that same data to

136
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: AI companies and the man remind me again why AI

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: companies would pay for this. Well, large language models or lms.

138
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: They need huge amounts of human language data to learn

139
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: how to respond like a real person.

140
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: And Reddit has a lot of posts and a lot

141
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: of everyday people talking about everyday things. In fact, there

142
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: are one point two million new posts every day, along

143
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: with roughly seven and a half million comments daily as well.

144
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: So jaziboit for Reddit. It's a smart way to diversify

145
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: income beyond advertising, and.

146
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: Importantly, it opens up a new revenue stream that doesn't

147
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: rely on annoying users with more ads.

148
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

149
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: Fox am one Aussie company in the ASX two hundred

150
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: jump by fourty three percent in July alone. It is

151
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: very juicy and it's off the back of some big

152
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: results in the US. If you want to learn more

153
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: about this company and the other four companies that perform

154
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: the best in July, make sure to check out the

155
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: flux out for more.

156
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and we'll see you on Friday.
