8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: lowest levels since two sixteen, tumbling below two dollars for

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: the first time in more than two years. A former

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Tesla bulla said that Frankly, Elon Musk faces code read

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Joining us now is David Coudla, his chief executive officer

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: in chief investment strategist at Mainstay Capital Management. I want

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: to start with Tesla just to get your sense. Do

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: you think right now that Tesla faces a tipping point

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: where we really are going to see the shares going

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: to free fall. I think they're already in free fall.

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Good morning. I think that, uh, you know, there's a

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: couple of factors impacting the stock right now that have

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: caused really a precipitous free fault from the two sixty

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: seven level that that it was holding at several weeks ago.

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: But the you know, when they came out with the

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: kind of pull out all the stops cost cutting plan,

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: that was kind of the code read condition. I think

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: that the web Bush Securities uh letter or report referred

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: to and and it's uh, it's I think that we're

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: really just seeing the story continue to unravel. Uh, it's

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: more than just the demand uh that continues to demand

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: diminish for all models of the of Tesla vehicles that

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier this year. We're just we're just

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: seeing that, you know, the liquidity and solvency issues, you know,

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: coming back to the floor. So, David, are you of

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: the opinion that Tesla is going to need to come

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: back for more capital, maybe sooner rather than later. Well,

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: you know they just did, right, they just had become

35
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: in addition to that two point three billion that they

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: just read, they say that's going to get into free

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: cash flow positive. Are you in that park? Are you

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: in that uh? Do you think that's correct? Or do

39
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna have to even come back again? Well,

40
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: they probably will. You know, there's there's the school of

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: thought out there that uh, they may they may be,

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: if they may be constantly coming back to the capital

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: markets to stay in business, if they can't build and

44
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: sell enough vehicles to to achieve profitability, and that's the

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: real question at this point. We question if they'll have

46
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: a profitable quarter anytime this year and if if they

47
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: can't achieve profitability at some point. Um, you know, it's

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: not about a growth story anymore, it's about a solvency story.

49
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Tesla shares are currently down four point six per cent,

50
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: so off the earlier lows, but still a pretty pretty

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: rough day, especially after Friday's decline of seven point six percent.

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I want to shift gears to Ford because they announced

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: that they were cutting seven thousand jobs in order to

54
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: right size its business model or basically cut some of

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: its management trim costs to increase profitability. Does this cause

56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: a surprise, especially given the fact that this is part

57
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: of the restructuring announcements that they made last fall. No,

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: not at all. It's it's interesting, Um, you know, we

59
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: we had last fall a big announcement by General Motors

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: of what was coming when they had their head count reduction.

61
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: We didn't have that out of Ford. We had they

62
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: had UM made reference to it, but we didn't have

63
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the detail. But that has been an evolutionary process. We've

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: been talking about this with clients for months and working

65
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: with our ants. It started at the highest tiers of management,

66
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: uh several months ago, and they've been working through each

67
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: each of the tiers of management down to the rank

68
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: and file workers in the in the salary workforce. And

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: we're actually now in the final stretch of that. Uh.

70
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, when this letter came out from Jim Hackett,

71
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: when we've seen all the details as part of their

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: global restructuring plan, you know, a multi year plan uh

73
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: two of globally restructuring the corporation that in that seven

74
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: thousand jobs cut globally, those in North America. Uh, some

75
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: of those already accomplished fifteen hundred through the voluntary buyouts

76
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: last year, and now these layoffs that have been happening

77
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: through through this year already really really now it's just

78
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: now we're hearing this big announcement of five hundred people

79
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: that will be notified tomorrow. But this has been an

80
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: evolutionary process that's been ha for months. So David, you know,

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: there's only and there's obviously I'm sure a fair amount

82
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: of costs that can be cut across you know, the

83
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: global auto industry. But at some point they're gonna have

84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: to really start driving top line growth. Where do you

85
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: think growth for Ford and maybe for GM can come from.

86
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Is it simply new products or do they have to

87
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: go to new markets? Do you see a top line

88
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: growth story for Ford? I think there is a top

89
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: line growth story. I think that they've demonstrated that they

90
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: continue to do well in the legacy business, and we

91
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: we separate the business now the auto industry into two,

92
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: the legacy business and the future of mobility and the

93
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: legacy business of crossovers SUVs. In in the segments of crossovers, SUVs, trucks,

94
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: they've done very well UH this year and their stock

95
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: price reflects that with the gains in Ford stock in teen.

96
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: It's been an outperformer in the UH in the segment

97
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: and relatively S and P five, it's been a tremendous performer.

98
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: And if we look at, you know, what's coming in

99
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: addition to this global restructuring, what's coming in terms of

100
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: autonomous UH, their UH, their investment in riviewing, their investment

101
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: in their own investments and autonomous and some of the

102
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: partnerships that they're working with Toxic UH, other automakers we're seeing.

103
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: We're seeing that the some vision, that strategic vision out

104
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Afford UH and Auto two point out that we think

105
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: the growth is there as they shore up their operations

106
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: around the world for profitability and that davidising Business David Goodla,

107
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us, chief executive

108
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: officer and chief investment strategistic mainstay Capital Management. Let's turn

109
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: our focus to Deutsche Bank shares now at an all

110
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: time record low. UH. There are a lot of reasons

111
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: why people downgrading their profitability forecasts, the Commerce bank tie

112
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: up that failed, but there also are some regulatory issues,

113
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: money laundering concerns, management issues with how these issues are treated.

114
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: And joining us here is Elliot Stein. He's senior litigation

115
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. So Elliott I want to start

116
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: with his New York Times story outlining how there were

117
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: some bank who are tasked with the anti bank staff,

118
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: who are tasked with the anti money laundering responsibilities, that

119
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: flagged suspicious transactions related to President Trump and his son

120
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: in law Jared Kushner, and that senior management didn't take

121
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: them up on it. What did you make of the story. So,

122
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I think it's important to remember the context here in

123
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank has been under cloud of money laundering investigations

124
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: for a while. UM. They settled in seen with the

125
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: New York Department Financial Services and the Federal Reserve over

126
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: money launder issues, including transactions in Russia. UM. But what's

127
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: interesting is that they did not settle with the Justice

128
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: Department at that time, and so when that happened, UM,

129
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: we expected that there would be continued investigations by d

130
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: o J and ultimately settlements or fines at some point.

131
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: What's happening now is that every time you see more

132
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: links between Deutsche Bank and Trump related investigations, it adds

133
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: a further cloud to those ongoing investigations, and as we

134
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: saw the market react today, it adds to the headline

135
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: risk for the bank. So what is the materiality in

136
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: your perspective of some of these continuing money laundering issues

137
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: for the company. Well, so overall, we based on their

138
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: UM find the amount of their fins in tween UM

139
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: and UM when they settled UH investigations related to sanctions

140
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: violations which are similar but not exactly the same, we

141
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: expect their ultimate UM exposure at this point to be

142
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: to a billion dollars based on the amounts they paid

143
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: to New York authorities. And we looked at um how

144
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: much d J settlements usually are as a ratio compared

145
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: to the New York settlements. Um, it could be a

146
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: little lower than that. But you know, there's additional materiality

147
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: going to your question, Paul, Um, if management in the

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: bank intentionally suppressed suspicious activity reports because they wanted to

149
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: keep Donald Trump's business, it does raise questions of intentionality.

150
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Um and uh, that could make an ultimate penalty worse.

151
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Just to put this in perspective, because you bring some

152
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: really interesting insights here, the idea that the d o

153
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: J did not sign off on an anti money laundering

154
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: type of settlement with Deutsche Bank. How long has this

155
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: gone on and when do people expect that to wrap up? Well,

156
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: that's a great question, and as with almost all d

157
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: o J investigations, you never really know what the timeline

158
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: is because there's just not a lot of transparency. So

159
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised that it's been going on for

160
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: this long. I do think that maybe the Trump related

161
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: investigations add a complication to these investigations that we haven't

162
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: seen in you know, ever before when you have the president,

163
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: um as part of these probes as well. UM, So

164
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: we don't have a firm timeline. UM. So unfortunately I

165
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: can't give you a better answer. So what's what's been

166
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: the response from Deutsche Bank? It just seems like it's

167
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: been years and years. I mean, you know, do they

168
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: have any specific response to the latest allegations or is

169
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: it just like we're trying to get our house in order.

170
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I know a lot of it is that,

171
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and that they have taken remediation measures UM, and they've

172
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: bolstered their compliance UM procedures. Uh. Their response in the

173
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: New York Times article was that, UM, no person was

174
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: ever restricted from escalating the issue. Further, of course, that

175
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily absolve them if management decided to suppress the

176
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: s a R S for nefarious reasons. We should just

177
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: note that President Trump did tweet about the story this morning, uh,

178
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: saying basically that it is fake news and talking about

179
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: how the mainstream media is the true enemy of the people. Uh.

180
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: So he was just saying, you know, the failing New

181
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: York Times keep writing phony stories about how I didn't

182
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: use money banks because they didn't want to do business

183
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: with me. Wrong, it is because I didn't need money

184
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: very old. So he is coming out against it. Just

185
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: real quick, just your real quick here, Elliot. I'm wondering

186
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: from your perspective, do you actually think that the shares

187
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: are falling in light of this story or is it

188
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: other issues? Well? I think there are multiple issues going

189
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: on in the news. Um. You you alluded to some

190
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: of them at the outset um. But I do think

191
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: that every time you see these stories surface about Deutsche

192
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: banks money laundering risks, it reminds the market that these

193
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: issues are still outstanding, that we still expect a pecuniary

194
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: fine at some point, and that there may be ongoing issues.

195
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Elliot Stein, thank you so much for joining us. Ellie

196
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: is a senior litigation animals for Bloomberg Intelligence, joining us

197
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 1: here in our Bloomberg eleven three oh studio. Well, we

198
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: saw it beyond meat. The fact that there shares absolutely

199
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: skyrocketed more than doubling after the initial public offering recently,

200
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: it just shows how much demand there is for alternative

201
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: food sources, for new ways to think about what we

202
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: eat and how we eat. Joining us now is someone

203
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: who invests in early stage companies that are trying to

204
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: rethink the food that we eat here in America and worldwide.

205
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Gasper, she's managing partner of Excel Foods based in

206
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: New York. Jordan, thank you so much for joining us

207
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: here in a Bloomberg Interactive broker Studios. So why don't

208
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: you just tell us what kinds of companies you actually

209
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: invest in? Great, thank you so much for having me. UM.

210
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: So we are a venture fund that's solely investment package

211
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: food and beverage brands that are better for you, so

212
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: all healthy living directed brands. UM. We have thirty six

213
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: active portfolio companies and we typically invest in eight to

214
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: ten new companies a year, and we can participate as

215
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: those companies raise capital many times over as they grown. UM.

216
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: The companies range in size from pre revenue to over

217
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: a hundred million revenue UM and so it's a wide

218
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: range of the different types of companies that we see. UM.

219
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: All of them are available in distribution. They can be

220
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: purchased at Whole Foods or car Toss Costco or Target

221
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: or Walmart UM. But all of the usual places that

222
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: we would hope to see great products like this. So

223
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: what's maybe one of the cool one or two companies

224
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: that you think is really kind of a unique story

225
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: in your portfolio. Family Foods. You know, it's a company

226
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that's a Mexican American brand that has come up very

227
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: quickly in the space. UM. It's a family owned company

228
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: that recently took in its first investors. UM. We're very

229
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: proud to be part of the company, and they really

230
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: have an authentic story as they're creating the next generation

231
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: of Latin foods. UM. And we think about, you know,

232
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: products like chips and tortillas and taco shells. We haven't

233
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: seen that much innovation in those categories. And so here

234
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: we have grain free chips, we have dairy free casos,

235
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: we have grain free taco shells. It's a totally different

236
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: spin on what are staples that are in all of

237
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: our diets. One thing that you were just saying off

238
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: air was that those processed foods and the foods that

239
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: we grew up with are not going to exist in

240
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: the near future. What do you mean by that? So

241
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: I think that it's important to understand that there's two

242
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: different types of changes that are happening simultaneously in the space.

243
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: The first is is we have a huge amount of

244
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: authentic young brands that are coming into the space very

245
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: quickly and scaling, and they're they're the the companies that

246
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: are securing the shelf space at the major retailers. So

247
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: those are you know, young brands that are telling different

248
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: stories and have unique products. On the flip side, the

249
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: incumbents are reformulating their holdings and so we're seeing the

250
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: organic version of this or the better for you version

251
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: of that, and their substitutions and the basic ingredients that

252
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: processed foods are coming out as we're seeing um, you know,

253
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: sort of better quality ingredients substituted. So you're talking about

254
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: the cokes, the pepsis the proctor gamble is whoever creates

255
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: food and puts it out their craft craft highs. You

256
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: said also that some of the end games for some

257
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: of these companies that you invest in might be acquisitions

258
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: by some of these larger companies. How quickly is that happening,

259
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: because it seems like right now there's still are a

260
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: lot of processes, there's still are a lot of foods

261
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: that you know, are familiar from ten twenty years ago

262
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: still on the shelves. So it's happening very quickly. UM,

263
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: and I think that from our perspective, our hope is

264
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: is that all of our companies get acquired. So I'd

265
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: say that, you know it, there's been more capital direct

266
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: into the space than ever before. You know, we've seen

267
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of institutional capital coming very quickly, which is

268
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: a good sign that will have more and more brands

269
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: that will grow larger because they'll have this sufficient capital

270
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: to do so. UM. The strategics are more inquisitive, they

271
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: are more excited and interested in partnering with young brands. UM.

272
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: We certainly hear from most of them, and they all

273
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: know let us know that they're excited to get involved

274
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: in the space with earlier stage companies in a variety

275
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: of different ways, whether it be funding them, acquiring them,

276
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: or operationally assisting them. There's been the launch of many

277
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: of these accelerator programs UM the venture capital arms. But

278
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: there's also behind the scenes, there's the use of their resources,

279
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: which is something that's pretty unique. And so some of

280
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: these strategics will say, I've got trucks that can be

281
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: used for distribution, or i have line time and manufacturing

282
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: that can be used. So they're getting creative because they

283
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: recognize that that the future of their businesses is in

284
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: these young brands. Are there any food or maybe what's

285
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the next food category, or are there any food categories

286
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: that haven't really innovated that we're there. You know, there's

287
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: no new products, there's nothing there that you kind of

288
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: think it might be interesting that it may be kind

289
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: of approaching your firm for funding. UM. So we're big,

290
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: big believers in grain free right now. It's the next

291
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: evolution of gluten free and obviously the nutritional panel is

292
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: just better for you UM, particularly in baked goods. UM.

293
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: One of the things that you know, we've been excited

294
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: about is, you know, baked goods have been pretty stale. UM.

295
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: They haven't been good for you. I'm highly processed a

296
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: lot of sugar, and we're seeing companies like Susie's, which

297
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: is one of our portfolio companies that actually is a

298
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: more paleo minded product, but it's almond based and so

299
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: the panels actually clean UM and you know, there's better

300
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: quality ingredients, more mindfulness in it, and so it's reflected

301
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: and even in the way that the product has to

302
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: be distributed, it's a frozen product because the ingredients aren't

303
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: able to sit on shell for many, many weeks. Is

304
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: this a regional issue? In other words, are these products

305
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: being adopted on the coasts and then everywhere else in

306
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: the United States? Not so much. I would have said

307
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: that a couple of years ago. But if we look

308
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: at one of our companies, Alpha Foods, which is our

309
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: own plant protein company UM they launched last year as

310
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: their first year, and all of the major retailers came

311
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: in quickly, so it was Walmart, Target, Costco, Kroger, and

312
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: it was all at once. So we saw mass and

313
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: conventional move faster and natural then fascinating story. It's not

314
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: just the uh the I p O of beyond meat,

315
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of all across the food spectrum and lots

316
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: of cattle being allocated to that. Jordan Gaspar thank you

317
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Jordan's managing partner of US

318
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: Sell Foods based here in New York City, joining us

319
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. Well. As a trade

320
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: war escalates and terrorists flight back and forth between China

321
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: and the US, China's textile industry looks particularly vulnerable, as

322
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: the US is its biggest buyer. To get a sense

323
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: of how big a deal this possibly could be. We

324
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: welcome our next guest, Edward Hertzman. Word is the founder

325
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: and president of Sourcing Journal, based here in New York City.

326
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: He joins us in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. Edward,

327
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. When I think terrorifts on clothes

328
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and apparel, I'm thinking this is a big deal potentially. Yeah.

329
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone really realizes how um significant this

330
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: can be. Too. Already a very fragile industry. Um, you're

331
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: talking about when when we look at China, Uh, it

332
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: accounts for almost fort of the exports of clothing, almost

333
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: seventy of the exports for footwear, and and roughly around

334
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: the exports for accessories coming into this country. So you're

335
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: talking a lot of product made by a lot of retailers,

336
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: which there isn't really a lot of places for people

337
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: to go in a short you know, in a short

338
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: period of time to mitigate this risk. So, um, this

339
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: is going to have a real big impact Q three

340
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: in Q four if it does happen. So how how

341
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: big of an impact? I mean, how how substantial will

342
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: the tariffs essentially be and how much will they be

343
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: unable to pass on? To consumers. Well, if we look

344
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: at it, we're just talking about top line, right, we're

345
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: adding to the product coming into the country. Um. A

346
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: lot of the orders for back to school and holiday

347
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: have already been placed, so the wholesales and the retailers

348
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: already have margin in mind that they're playing with. To

349
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: add on that is something that the industry doesn't even

350
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: have to work with. So the question is who can

351
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: absorb some of it in the short term? Who could

352
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: who's gonna have to pass it along. I mean you

353
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: already have retailers like Walmart saying hey, we're gonna have

354
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: to increase prices on things like furniture because that that

355
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: just got hit. Um. I think the more price sensitive

356
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: you are, the more of an impact that's going to

357
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: have in the short term because you just don't have

358
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: the margin to play with. And I think that the

359
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: idea that we have these alternative sourcing destinations. Yes, we're

360
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: going to see a migration to Vietnam, we're going to

361
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: see more people going to places like India, Indonesia, Bangladesh.

362
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: But let's not forget they're not foolish either. They only

363
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: have so much capacity and with that comes and baked

364
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: in inflation because there's gonna be a rush to go there.

365
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: And a year ago, you know, we had the same

366
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: conversation although nothing happened, people already started migrating, but a

367
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: year over year still we're talking about very, very small

368
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: percentage of migration out of China. And the the issue

369
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: is that we've we've come to a period of time

370
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: where people have stopped chasing the cheapest needle and they're

371
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: now chasing the smartest needle. Because the conversation is kind

372
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: of migrated to speed and flexibility and lowering inventory, which

373
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: China is really the perfect place to be. So if

374
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: we start moving to countries like Bangladesh, while we may

375
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: save money, we lose the flexibility and quick turn replenishment.

376
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of factors that are gonna that

377
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: are gonna hurt this industry. So give us a sense

378
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: of kind of where we are with these tariffs here,

379
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: that these are proposed tariffs coming up and we don't

380
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: even know what retail goods are, which clothing and apparel

381
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: goods will potentially be subject to these terroriforts. Correct, Yeah,

382
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: So the you know, the technical term the tranche for

383
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: if this goes into effect to technically hit all the

384
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: remaining imports from from China, and included in that list

385
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: would be apparel, footwear, and some textiles. Um, So in

386
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: that case, it would be you know, all the products

387
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: that we're talking about right now. Um, the point you

388
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: made is it's suggested that this will come up in

389
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: the summer. If it does pass, it will probably hit

390
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: around Labor Day and so the goods that are coming

391
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: into the country around that time will be affected. We're hoping,

392
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, that this is posturing. Um, we're in a

393
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: situation where, uh, you know, I'm not a political analyst,

394
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: so I can't say for sure, but the economy still

395
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: is showing strong signs of things are pretty positive. Why

396
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: does he want to mess around and create a global

397
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, trade war which will negatively negatively impact the economy.

398
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: So some people are hoping that somehow this will be

399
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: resolved before the summertime. A lot of people are pricing

400
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: that in currently to markets certainly that it will be

401
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: resolved at some point before this goes into effect. I'm

402
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: just wondering which areas of retail are the most price sensitive,

403
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: because you were talking about how that matters here. Well, obviously,

404
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about you know, commodity goods, UM,

405
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: things that are well, first we talk about like perishable goods,

406
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: things like that that that don't have a long life

407
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: life sheelf that have to be replenished quickly. Um. You know,

408
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: when you talk about retailers that are selling things for

409
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: you can imagine what impact of that would be. And

410
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: the consumers that are purchasing from there don't have a

411
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of discretionary income. Some of the luxury retailers are

412
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: concerned that when things like this happen, it trickles down right,

413
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: so you go from luxury to aspirational luxury, aspirational luxury

414
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: down to the mid stream you know, you know, mid tier,

415
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: mid tier down to you know, off price and discount.

416
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: So it could potentially hit every single facet of retail.

417
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: And then when it when you're talking about discretionary uh

418
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: income and discretionary products, um, these are tend to be

419
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: the things that are affected uh first when it comes

420
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: to purchasing decisions. Well, it's interesting we did hear Walmart

421
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: in the last quarterly earnings talk about, you know, suggesting

422
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: that there might be some some issue with terms of

423
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: raising prices and inflation. What is your sense of how

424
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: much just real quickly the you think that the consumer

425
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: will have to bear if in fact this does go through.

426
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: I think what the retailers are saying is that in

427
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: the short term they're going to try to work um,

428
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to work through it. Um. But that's

429
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: just a short term solution. So some people what they're

430
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: going to do, whether that's the right or wrong decision,

431
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: is they're going to try to maybe UM, move some

432
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: goods in pre labor day and try to that. This

433
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: is what happened before G twenty, a lot of people

434
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: started airing goods in and hoping that it would um

435
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: avoid the increased tariffs. Now the problem there is again

436
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: it's counterintuitive to keeping your inventory levels low. UM. But

437
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: these are only short term solutions. I mean, you're gonna

438
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: see anywhere from a ten to twenty pc increase at retail,

439
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: depending on the on the product. Edward Hurtsman, thank you
