1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: This is lock them flies.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: I'm Brett and justin a. It's mondayta fifth.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Of August tozie boy, how things change quickly on the

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: share market. On Thursday, the ASEX closed at a record

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: high and everyone was celebrating. But Friday was an absolute bloodbath.

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Get this one. Nearly fifty billion dollars was wiped off

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: the value of companies on the ASX after a big

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: bat drop in US tech stocks. Always keeping us on

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: our toes.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Never know what to expect the man dam. We are

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: very excited to have two experts join us as part

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: of the Property Investing Academy this month doesn't really matter

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: what's happening today.

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: People look at a long term asset clias in too

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: much of the micro right.

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: That is the voice of property Guru and TikTok start

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: Jack Henderson of Henderson Advocacy, who's helping the Flux them

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: understand the property market. Why invest in property, how to

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: make it work to your financial position, and what to

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: look out for. It is all in this month Flux

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Academy on Property Investing.

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Three profitable stories today. Juzzi boy, let's do it for

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: our first at Lassian saw at share price plummet after

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: it warned that revenue is expected to slow slow down

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: over the next year.

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: The founders just became a casual three point eight billion

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: dollars poor after this announcement. So tell me more.

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Well, jus wait, we know the story of at Lassian.

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: The two Sydney siders who met at UNI and started

30
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: the company with a ten thousand dollar credit card.

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: And from there they've built it into a project management behemoth.

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: We're talking Gira, Confluence, a bit Bucket, Trello, all the

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: big name brands for tech heads.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Now be man. Earlier this year, at Lassian announced a

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: pretty bold revenue target. Yeah, they had a goal of

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: twenty percent revenue growth over the next three years and

37
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: hitting this target would mean at Lassian clocks over ten

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: billion US dollars in and your revenue.

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: But Josie boy, at Lassian just released their annual results

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: where its revenue jumped twenty four percent. That sounds pretty positive,

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: but my friend, it wasn't all positive.

42
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: You see.

43
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: At Lassian also revised its revenue target for the next

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: twelve months.

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: Yep, that twenty percent goal they had it, well, they

46
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: dropped it down to sixteen percent. But be man, they

47
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: still have a plan to get there.

48
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Their plan to get there continue growing revenue from their

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Fortune five hundred company partners.

50
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: So what is the key learning here?

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: When it comes to revenue, Digging deeper, not wider, can

52
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: often be a faster way to supercharge growth.

53
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: You see, be a man. New revenue comes from acquiring

54
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: new customers.

55
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Which often requires significant marketing and sales efforts.

56
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Yan dining, pitching, chasing our females, sending through more pitches.

57
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Yes, but expansion revenue is generated when existing customers purchase

58
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: additional products or services.

59
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Like upgrading their plans or adding more licenses.

60
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: And Josie Boy at Lesson already has a raft of

61
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: large companies on board, but they're just not spending enough.

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: In fact, eighty four percent over the Fortune five hundred companies,

63
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: the biggest five hundred companies in the US are using

64
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: at Lassie.

65
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: But it only represents ten percent of their revenue.

66
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: So at Lassian's plan is to show more love to

67
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: its existing clients. Hit that big, hairy ten billion dollar

68
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: goal for our second story. Apple is back on the

69
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: winner's list after it saw growth in revenue over the

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: past three months. But not all is rosy in Apple

71
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: land like Apple getting a bit tired lately with their

72
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: kind of irrelevant iPhone updates, So don't we more Well,

73
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: it's fair to say Apple has been a tech innovator

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: since its early days of the Mac computer, then the iPod,

75
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: who could forget the feeling of holding one of those

76
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: babies in your hand while your mate still had a discrant.

77
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: And then of course the iPhone, which took it into

78
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: the stratosphere of world's most valuable company that Beeman. Despite

79
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: all of these developments, Apple's most important business is still

80
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: the iPhone. That's why investors were so concerned last quarter

81
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Juzzy Boy when Apple announced a major decline in iPhone sales.

82
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: But now Apple's announced a return to sales growth that

83
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: We're talking four point nine percent growth.

84
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Okay, lots of divisions in Apple, Juzzy Boy, which ones

85
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: are the winners?

86
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: Here? Interestingly, the iPad division grew the fastest at twenty.

87
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Four percent, and of course the services division, which is

88
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Apple TV, cloud storage subscriptions.

89
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: The revenue in that division jump fourteen.

90
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Percent two and now Apple's goal is to reduce its

91
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: reliance on its iPhone hardware and shift even more of

92
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: that demand to its software.

93
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: And investors or alike in the sound of dem Apples.

94
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: So what is the key learning here? Not all revenue

95
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: streams are created equally, and luckily for Apple, its sexier

96
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: revenue stream is doing particularly well, you seeb man. Apple

97
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: services business is critical for shareholders because it has better

98
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: margins than their hardware products.

99
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: The jazibay. Apple still has a bit of a reliance

100
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: on its iPhones.

101
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the iPhone's accounted for forty six percent of Apple's

102
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: total sales during the quarter.

103
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: So basically, pushing the software division is key here, as.

104
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: Well as a little thing called AI, which you may

105
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: have heard of yep.

106
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: In fact, Apple has not ruled out charging a subscription

107
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: for its Apple Intelligence features in the future as well.

108
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: So now Apples investors are licking their lips at the

109
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: idea of another juicy software stream of revenue.

110
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: For our third and final story, Intel is cutting fifteen

111
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: thousand jobs and suspending its dividend as its stock fell

112
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty percent in one day last week.

113
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Twenty percent and fifteen thousand jobs not numbers you want

114
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: to hear. So what is happening here? A little bit

115
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: about ground jazzyboy.

116
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: Intel is a global tech company started in nineteen fifty six, and.

117
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: It became a household name with the rise of personal

118
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: computers back in the eighties and nineties.

119
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: And what I do know, Juzzy Boy, is that millions

120
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: of PCs around the world used Intel's very own computer

121
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: chips inside them during that time.

122
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: And the man, after struggling in the early two thousand

123
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: and new CEO, took the helm of Intel in twenty

124
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty one with a pretty ambitious plan to turn the

125
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: company around.

126
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Yep. Now Intel became the US's most important chip maker

127
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: and has around one hundred and sixteen thousand employees.

128
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: But not so fast, because now Intel plans to lay

129
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 2: up fifteen thousand employees this year and pause their dividend payments.

130
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: And it's all part of a big cost saving exercises.

131
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: It not. It is Their plan is reduced costs by

132
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: more than ten billion dollars next year. And it's all

133
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: because it's struggled to gain a foothold in the market

134
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: for AI chips. So what is the key learning here?

135
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Over the last few years, a brutal and competitive race

136
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: in the chip industry has been going on, some of

137
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: it visible, some of it not.

138
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: In case you'd been living under a rock. You may

139
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: have noticed a boom in AI going on.

140
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: And this boom in generative AI has led to new

141
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: challenges for all Intel.

142
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah you see, Intel has a dominant market share in

143
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: the traditional category of central processes.

144
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: But it's far behind the big dogs for the more

145
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: modern AI chips. And while Intel has developed an answer

146
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: to in Vidia's AI chips, it hasn't gained a large

147
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: market share.

148
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah it's aichips are expected to bring in just five

149
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: hundred million US dollars of revenue.

150
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: This year, way below the more than twenty billion in

151
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: Vidia has been pulling in each and every quarter.

152
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: So now Intel is vowing to somehow get back to

153
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: being number one. I think we'll see about that. Beman

154
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: Flux Sam if you always wanted to invest in the

155
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: property market, but he never knew how to make it

156
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: work for you, what to look out for. It is

157
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: all covered in this month's Plucks Academy on property investing,

158
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: So make sure you check out the academy this month

159
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: to learn a whole lot about property investing.

160
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, and we'll see you on Wednesday.
