WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Michael Darda & Cam Dawson

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, single.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Best idea and just a little vignette into how we

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>do the show. The dirty secret is we do the

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>show because our guests really liked come on. That is

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the foundational thing we learned over two decades ago was

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 2>if you make it fun and smart, Jim Bianco will

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 2>get up at six am in California when he's on

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 2>vacation to do the show. And we really appreciate effort

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 2>from mister Bianco like that and from so many others.

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Michael Darta not so strenuous this morning with Roth Capitol.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Michael Darta on where we are now looking at the past,

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the good news of double digit in a new world.

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 3>I think it's going to be really hard to maintain

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 3>that double digit growth. I mean, if you just do

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 3>a super basic Tom Keen scatterplot regression on forward pees

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 3>in ten year future returns, you know, coming into the

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 3>year with the forward pe twenty two x, you know,

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 3>typically that's a level where you see very weak, potentially

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 3>even negative ten year forward returns. So the higher the valuations,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 3>the lower the longer term forward returns are. And you

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>know that's a little bit of a different game than

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.839
<v Speaker 3>the chase that's been on with momentum, and then more broadly,

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I do think that these disruptions to the supply side

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>eat away at the earnings expectations.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Michael Dartera. There is just brilliant throughout the entire conversation

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of talking about the geopolitical shocks, the international shocks, is

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>supply side shocks, which just put a damp or put

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a weight on everything. And of course that mystery of

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>where is forward GDP growth right now? Is it sub

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>two percent? Atlanta GDP a negative statistic right now? That's

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>at least right now that could subject change as we

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>stagger out to March thirty one, which is next Monday.

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Cam Dawson knows that she too is trying to consider

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the uncertainties that are out there. Cam Dawson a new

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 2>edge on her double digit take.

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that that's very very likely. Is that

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 4>we've been in this world of very strong double digit

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 4>returns the last two years. Investors got conditioned to expecting that,

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 4>which is why you saw these estimates for seven thousand

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 4>plus in the S and P five hundred. That's very

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>hard to do when you start the year at twenty

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 4>two point six times forward earnings. You start the year

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 4>at the ninetieth percent tile of positioning. So our best

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 4>case scenario for twenty twenty five is that you get

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 4>growth upside that's equivalent to earnings growth. But that assumes

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 4>that multiple stay constant. And we're not sure if you

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 4>get multiple stay in constant in a world where you're

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 4>cutting earning sestaments and there's some risk off flavor review.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>That again, Kim Dawson. A new edge when multiples stay constant.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I talked about this yesterday or the day before.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I forget, but let's do it again. A multiple is

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a ratio, a numerator and down below a denominator, and

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 2>they both move. They move somewhat correlated, but also move separately.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 2>So there's four outcomes. The numerator goes up, the numerator

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 2>goes down, the denominator, the numerator goes up, the denominator

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>goes down. So there can be movement or dynamics in

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>your study of any given ratio that you look at.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest. They spend less time on PE and

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>much more on a study a free cash flow. What

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>we know is we've studied the impact of the show

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>digitally in America, in Canada, in Mexico, around the world,

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and we're just humbled by it. Subscribe to us out
