6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Alexis and I were just talking about how we're both

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: AMEX cardholders. We're trying to figure out the most economical

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: way of transferring rewards points to your airline account and

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: not have to pay fees.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you find a way to do that without

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: paying fees, please do let me know because it just

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: it varies on how much you're going to pay to

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: do the transfer. But I feel like, you know, there's

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: a fee for almost everything you do.

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: You know what, you need to go on Reddit because

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: the folks on Reddit have like broken this down to

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: a science.

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm doing all the details.

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: Let's bring in Ben Elliott.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: He's our consumer finance analyst and he's going to talk

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: to us about American Express earnings. And Ben, the big

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: part of what we're seeing from an American Express is

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: how much it spends on marketing these cards to Alexis,

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: these cards to me, and you know, the Platinum card

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: in particular is like their big money maker because the

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: fees are almost eight hundred.

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 5: Dollars, that's right, Yeah, So it's sort of a you

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 5: got to spend money and make money scenario for AMEX, right.

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 5: And one of the challenges they're facing right now, which

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 5: you can see in the response to earnings today, is

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 5: that the expenses happen right away and the benefits take

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: a year or two to float through P and L.

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: So one of the things that I saw, I was

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 5: very optimistic in the earnings was management guided towards a

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 5: higher card feed growth in the third quarter and then

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 5: a higher run rate exiting twenty twenty four. And that's

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: just because mechanically, you know, they raise people's card fees

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 5: when they renew their card, right, So that's kind of

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: on a rolling basis, and they're still raising card fees

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: from the previous refresh of the mx plat so that's

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 5: going to keep rolling into P and L through next year,

42
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 5: and that will make some of the elevated expenses look

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 5: more palatable to investors.

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: I think, Ben, how is artificial intelligence part of the

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: American Express story right now? And did they talk about

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: it at all?

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: On the call. They talked about it on the call.

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 5: They talk about it quite a bit of regularity right now.

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 5: I think the biggest impact they're seeing is they're just

50
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: really a lot more efficient on the sort of the

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 5: tech stack modernization effort that's been ongoing for a long time.

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 5: But they would like to do things like agentic purchasing

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 5: AI travel agents, things like that, and they think that

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 5: that could add meaningfully to revenue and also be a

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: big positive on the expense side.

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: Your colleague, Nathan Dean is our senior policy analyst in Washington,

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: and he's been writing about how there's this credit card

58
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: Competition Act that hasn't made its way through Congress yet

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: but would supposedly require banks to offer two rival credit

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: card networks to their merchants, and that would potentially be

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: a threat to American Express, Visa MasterCard. Is this something

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: that the company is worried about is kind of working

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: around at this point positioning itself in any way.

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 5: I don't think that they're particularly worried about it yet.

65
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: I think that Nathan has some sort of tempered odds

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: on that, but I don't know his latest odds. You know, MX,

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: I think is such a sort of like lifestyle brand,

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 5: value proposition driven company that you know, if they had to,

69
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 5: for instance, off for like a Visa a MasterCard branded card,

70
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: it would impact the discount revenue sort of side of things.

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: But I imagine that they would still try it to

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: drive users towards their MX branded cards where they have

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: the full economics, and they could do something like, you know,

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: provide a more basic card on the Visa MasterCard network

75
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: and provide kind of like the higher end, the real

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 5: meat and potatoes of the business on their own proprietary network,

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 5: and that might be an offset. And there's also you know,

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: all kinds of other different ways to add fees and

79
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 5: you know, find other revenue sources that well couldn't call.

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: Those fees be I was talking to Scarlet off Mike

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: earlier about let's say, for instance, you have a bunch

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: of rewards points and you want to transfer them over

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: to an airline that you fly often. Amex does charge you,

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: at least in my experience, to make that transfer, and

85
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: I have to tell you when you're paying you know,

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars a year for a car. That doesn't

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: feel too good.

88
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 5: Ben, Yeah, I'm not sure exactly which program you're talking about.

89
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: But I was trying to get miles over to Delta

90
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: and was charged ninety nine bucks to do it, and

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: she's outraged, and yeah, I'm quietly outraged.

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 5: Interesting. I mean, that's like the flagship program. So I'm

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: not exactly sure the scenari you're talking about, but I

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 5: don't think that they would want to do something that

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: sort of negatively impacted partners. So that's probably not the

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: first fee that would be on the menu. But you know,

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 5: there are plenty of voys to bifurcate your audience and

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: still provide what Amex does provide now and then just

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: to have like some sort of add on that meets

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 5: any kind of new regulatory requirement.

101
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: I like the way you put that bifurkate the audience,

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: meaning if you upgrade to a better level the next

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: Welter card, maybe you won't be subject to the fees

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: that you just experience. And that kind of gets to

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: the heart of it, right Ben. I mean they can

106
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: slice and dices in very very thin slices.

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, everything's about the platinum, So anything they can do

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 5: to drive more traffic to the Platinum I think will

109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 5: in the end actually be in that positive even if

110
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: you know there's some sort of change in the business

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 5: model and they have to serve you know, maybe a

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: lower fight go borrower, maybe a broader audience. I don't

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 5: think it will affect the core audience who likes what

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 5: they have right now and they have to keep paying more.

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: For it, and just very quickly for the American Express

116
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: card holders, like maybe those who come in down the

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: introductory card, like the you know, blue card, do they

118
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: tend to stick with AMX so they kind of go

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: along with the brand and make it all the way

120
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: to platinum.

121
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 5: So I think seventy five percent of new customers are

123
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 5: coming onto a fee paying card already from the get go.

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: Sixty five percent of those are gen z and millennial,

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: and the company sees a gigantic lifetime value in those

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: consumers and explicit goal is to get those people to

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: spend more over their lifetime. And retention rates are crazy

128
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 5: high on the mx plat it's like almost one hundred percent,

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 5: so people basically never give up their card once they

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: get it.

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,760

136
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Intel, because Intel shares

137
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: are down about four percent, and Alexis you were pointing

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: out earlier that the outlook was good and the results

139
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: looked dec and yet the stock, however, is that respecting?

140
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like it was higher in the pre

141
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: market when I was doing the flashes on surveillance talking

142
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: about how Intel was rallying, and then once regular trading started,

143
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: stock is down.

144
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: All right, So let's check in with Konjoan Shobani. He

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: is our senior semiconductor analyst joining us from San Francisco.

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: Kunjohn explained to us what happened between the pre market

147
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 2: and they started regular trading when things looked fairly good

148
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: for Intel, and now clearly the market does not like

149
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: everything at seas with the latest set of results.

150
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 7: I mean, from our perspective, we liked everything we saw.

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 7: I mean, after quarters and quarters of facing hurdles and

152
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 7: you know, missteps, this was the finally the most cleanest

153
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 7: positive quarter from a fundamental perspective, they beat on all matrix.

154
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 7: But more important than that, they showcased a lot of

155
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 7: confidence in the foundry progress that they're making. If I

156
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 7: had to guess, what the you know, just a reaction

157
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 7: a few hours since since the market has opened. Is

158
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 7: could be just because some folks are not liking the

159
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 7: higher spending, which is going to be a headwind to

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 7: the free cash flow. Right, so, if you add on

161
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 7: everything positive that's happening, they were finally now getting to

162
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 7: a free cash flow which people are liking. But this

163
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 7: additional spending is again going to put a pause and

164
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 7: a lot of investors have been waiting to get this

165
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 7: positive free cash flow. But other than that, fundamentally everything

166
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 7: looks really good.

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: You know, earlier we were talking with Dan Ives about

168
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: this and about the hyperscalers that are going to be

169
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: reporting next week, and I'm curious, is there anything they

170
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: can say with regards to CAPEX spending on AI that

171
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: would please this market, because you would think if they're

172
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: spending too little, the market might not like it. If

173
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: they're spending too much, the market doesn't seem to like it.

174
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 7: Well, you got it spot on right. The investors insuredholders

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 7: of those hyperscalers don't like it when they spend a

176
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 7: lot of money, but the investors for the semi guys

177
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 7: that I cover, should like that higher number. In fact,

178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: I mean, if we don't get a much higher number,

179
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 7: you know, those inventors might not like for the names

180
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 7: of NBDA, AMD, Intel and so forth. Because remember, the

181
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 7: higher the capex for the hyperscalers, that means the better

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 7: the probability of upside for the semi connected guys that

183
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 7: I cover.

184
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: So, Kanyam, would you say that the US government owning

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: a stake in Intel has been unequivocally good for the

186
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: company in the stock?

187
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't see any direct correlation there, Like

188
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 7: they haven't done anything except for you know, investment, just

189
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 7: bringing in the liquidity and the cash flow. There's definitely

190
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 7: that credibility that you know, government likely won't let Intel fall,

191
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 7: But I think I would not give them a lot

192
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 7: more credit for what we're seeing in the stock. It

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 7: has been all been executions since the new CEO coming in,

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 7: and we are now seeing the fruits of that discipline

195
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: and the execution finally showing up.

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: I was looking a little more into the report and

197
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: also just taking a look at what some analysts had

198
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: to say. So, Intel, this is their strongest revenue growth

199
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: in more than fifteen years. This according to a City analyst,

200
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: what an is it all AI that's driving that right now?

201
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: Is it diversified in any way?

202
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 7: Well, it's mostly AI because again they're in the computer business,

203
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: right and anyone who is in that proportional business, it's

204
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 7: mostly AI. I think they reported a number that now

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 7: seventy percent of their total revenue in this quarter was

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 7: AI exposed or AI related in some shape or form.

207
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 7: But more importantly, what's driving it? You know, the tide

208
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 7: is lifting all boats. Everyone's enjoying that. But really what

209
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 7: the goodness came out in this quarter was again their

210
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 7: execution on the foundry and the reels are getting better,

211
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 7: costs are coming down. It's a supply constraint and environment

212
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 7: everywhere else, and Intel has its own supply, so when

213
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 7: they are able to bring up more volume, they're able

214
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 7: to sell more parts and drive higher revenue and charge

215
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 7: a lot more because again supply constraints. So any new

216
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 7: volume that they bring up, they're able to write now

217
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 7: charge a lot more higher prices.

218
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: Stay with us. More from Bloomeric Intelligence coming up.

Speaker 3: We want to talk earnings next week because they're going

225
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 3: to be dominated by the megacap hyper scalers. We're talking

226
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: meta Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and the like. And who better

227
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: to do that with than mister Dan Ives live in

228
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: our studios here in the air, Active Broker Studio partner

229
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: and senior managing Director, Yorkville Ives and Co.

230
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 8: Dan. Good to see you.

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: And you have an animal motif for those not watching

232
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 3: on YouTube. Animal motif ways is a tiger.

233
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 8: Tiger got a hat hat. So yeah, little little animal

234
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 8: motif me, I should brought a ball maybe soon.

235
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 7: I like that.

236
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 8: Animal spirits to the conversation.

237
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: We'll talk about next week in a moment, because I

238
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: want to talk about Intel right now. After the belly yesterday,

239
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 3: I'm on every metric. I thought blew it out of

240
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: the water, Yet Intel is down three percent.

241
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 8: Why do you think I think the reality is some

242
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 8: of these knee jerk reactions I think could be misleading

243
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 8: relative to the fundamentals, because what investors are looking at

244
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 8: here is what does demand look like for the AI revolution?

245
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 8: And look, Intel has become a huge barometer, and you

246
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 8: combine what we saw from Intel with the hyperscalurs, that

247
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 8: just gives you more confidence to what we're going to

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 8: see over the next week relative to cap backs, enterprise demand.

249
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 8: I think that's why it's very easy for investor. I

250
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 8: caught up sometimes in what the stocks do you know

251
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 8: a day after? But for Intel, I mean they've almost

252
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 8: become the comeback kid.

253
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: They have, Yeah, they definitely have, with a big helping

254
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: hand from the US government of course, and in video, yeah,

255
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: and in video. Okay, so let's talk about the hyperscalet

256
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: earnings that are coming up next week Alphabet. The knee

257
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: jerk reaction there was to sell it off yesterday down

258
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 2: almost seven percent. Today it's making a little bit of

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: a comeback, stabilizing two thirds of one percent. We've got Meta, Microsoft,

260
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: Amazon on all reporting next week. Are we going to

261
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: see a similar kind of outcome where they're going to

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: increase their capex and the return on investment, you know

263
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: through cloud sales for instance, is going to show that

264
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: they're getting some payoff, but investors bar are so high

265
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: right now that they're not going to be rewarded for it.

266
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 8: And I think the Alphabet reaction, you know, I think

267
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 8: that someone would say maybe head scratching because if you

268
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 8: saw the cloud growth, you look what they're doing across

269
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 8: the business, and then of course increasing capex. But as

270
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 8: we've talked about, this is an arms race. It's third

271
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 8: inning in the AI revolution, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta. No one's

272
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 8: going to slow capecs. Could you slow it down? You

273
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 8: get ultimately, you know, you're out of the line in

274
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 8: terms of when it comes to capacity. I think the

275
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 8: most important thing relative to tech earnings, to the market,

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 8: to these stocks is is demand accelerating. Our enterprise is

277
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 8: set toward what ultimates we monetization and use cases. And

278
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 8: in terms of the reactions, look, I think we've seen

279
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 8: you know, I think investors are definitely fickle and worrying

280
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 8: about We'll say, maybe patients wearing thin. But guess what,

281
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 8: Let's say Alphabet said we're cutting catacs exactly.

282
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 5: The market would freak out.

283
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 8: So that's why it's one where these companies are doing everybody.

284
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 8: They're not just spending like nineteen eightys rock stars for

285
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 8: no reason. They're spending because their customers are moving on

286
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 8: the hyperscos on the cloud with AI. That's why they're doing.

287
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: It's sort of like you're damned if you if you do,

288
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: and you're damned if you don't, right, because if you're not,

289
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: if you're not spending and keeping pace with the other

290
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: big hyper scalers with then what are you doing? But

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: if you're if you're spending a lot, they're still going

292
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

293
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 8: But it's the you're building out the Vegas Strip in

294
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 8: nineteen fifty five, right, analogy. So the point is you

295
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 8: get one spot on the strip, if you pull back,

296
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 8: guess what, you're two miles where you're in Reno, right,

297
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 8: And that's how these companies are thinking.

298
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so they want to make sure they have a

299
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: prime spot on the strip, and that means they need

300
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money. They also need to

301
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: raise a lot of money. They've been doing that in

302
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: the bond market. Are more companies going to do what

303
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: Alphabet did and tap the equity market as well?

304
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 8: I think it's it's going to be a tidal wave

305
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 8: now in terms of I think it's also that's going

306
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 8: to happen over the next six, twelve, eighteen months, because

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 8: the reality is, if they don't do it, despite whatever

308
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 8: the stocks do, they know they're out of the game

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 8: now investors, how are they going to react to that?

310
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 8: I would argue, see if you get Meta. Meta's last

311
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 8: quarter was basically increase capbacks, dog gate the homework. They

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 8: didn't show it Alphabet, they are showing it Microsoft, penalty Box,

313
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 8: prove me moving from Thedella. Each one's almost become idiosyncratic

314
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 8: relative to how they're treated. But the reality is investadors

315
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 8: are going from cap bax to monetization. That's the phase

316
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 8: we're in. But it's still early in terms of it's

317
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 8: all playing out, and for the first time in thirty years,

318
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 8: the US is ahead of China when it comes tech.

319
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: Apple is a different animal from the other companies we

320
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: were just talking about, and they're every day I feel

321
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: like they're saying, we're going to revamp another product in

322
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: our lineup again geared towards AI. So what can they

323
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: possibly say that's new When they come out with earning

324
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: sexty weeks.

325
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 8: Look for Apple, they finally now have an AI strategy.

326
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 8: It's not just talk and we talk about we start

327
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 8: a WWDC. It's not anthropic, it's not an open air.

328
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 8: They don't need to be that because they have the

329
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 8: install based on two point five billion iOS devices one

330
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 8: point five billion iPhones for them. Okay, it's really about

331
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 8: giving investors update on the deployment of the AI strategy

332
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: and then giving some sort of sense in terms of

333
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 8: what this iPhone seventeen. It has been a surprise upgrade

334
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 8: cycle and I think that's something you saw it even

335
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 8: on the AT and T numbers, and it's very important

336
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 8: for this broader market to stop. What's happening to the

337
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 8: stock investors are realizing Apple is basically they're going to

338
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 8: be the toll collector right on the consumer AI highway,

339
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 8: no matter which way.

340
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: Do we need a foldable Apple phone? That's my question, Dan, and.

341
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 8: Again Keenes talked about that, and I think, you know,

342
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 8: I know he's waiting for it, but I think it's

343
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 8: going to come by in their pocket.

344
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 6: Better.

345
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: It's not going to fall out of your pocket that way. Okay,

346
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: I'll be bulkier, but it won't fall out.

347
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,439

Speaker 3: We want to talk about Charter Communications because this stock

353
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: taking it on the chin today, down about six and

354
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: a half percent after it's a quarterly earnings report. You

355
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 3: want to dig in a little more with geth i Roanganathan,

356
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: us media analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, and she joins us

357
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: from our Princeton, New Jersey office. He's always good to

358
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: see you. I guess the top line here is they

359
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: did it again. Revenue declining once again at Charter as

360
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: subscriber growth continues to slide. What else in this report

361
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: did Wall Street not like?

362
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 6: Thanks so much Alexis for having me. So really, this

363
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 6: story is, you know, we've seen this movie before, and

364
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 6: just the story just keeps getting worse and worse every quarter.

365
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 6: So you know, Charter, as you may know, is going

366
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 6: to very soon be the largest broadband provider in the

367
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 6: United States after it closes on its Cocks deal, which

368
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 6: will happen in the next couple of weeks time. And really,

369
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: the story for this company has been this persistent loss

370
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 6: in broadband subscriptions. And what Wall Street did not like

371
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: this quarter was that not only did we see a

372
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 6: deterioration in those subscribers trends, which was losses much worse

373
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 6: than what we had initially projected, but all so along

374
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 6: with that, we are seeing this tremendous pressure on broadband rpooh,

375
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: which is causing declines in ebit DAH and so just

376
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 6: you know, as you kind of think about the growth

377
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 6: outlook for this company over the next few years, there

378
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 6: is just no turnaround in sight, and that is making

379
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 6: investors extremely nervous.

380
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 3: Now there were bright spots here, no, I mean they

381
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: did add I guess subscribers on the mobility end of things.

382
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: How is that going?

383
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, you know, this is a story that we're

384
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 6: seeing across a lot of the cable providers. So both

385
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 6: Charter and Comcast introducing their mobile product, which is Spectrum

386
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 6: Mobile and Exfinity Mobile, and we've seen a lot of

387
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 6: success with this. And really what these cable providers have

388
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 6: done very creatively is that they're bundling their mobile solutions

389
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 6: with broadband. Really the big picture here is they're trying

390
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 6: to retain those broadband subscribers as well as attract new

391
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 6: ones by bundling in mobile, and you know, people kind

392
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 6: of like that, so that you do have quite a few,

393
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 6: you know, new subscribers kind of signing on. Because if

394
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 6: you actually look at the market out there, the wireless market,

395
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 6: you know, Spectrum Mobile is priced very very competitively, much

396
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 6: much more competitively than the big three, and that is

397
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 6: what is helping them kind of gain subscribers. But remember,

398
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 6: you know, they have about ten to twelve million subscribers

399
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 6: versus you know, we're comparing it with Verizon and an

400
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 6: Ant and T and T Moore, which have hundreds of

401
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 6: millions of subscribers. So you know, again it's it's small potatoes,

402
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 6: but yes, there are some bright spots.

403
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: What about some of its competitism. I guess we heard

404
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: from Comcast this week quite a different story. But then

405
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: I guess you could also argue Comcast is a lot

406
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: more diversified than a charter communications.

407
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, so actually for Comcast there, you know, it's it's

408
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 6: kind of ironic Alexis because they've always been punished because

409
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 6: they were not a pure play cable company. They had

410
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: this media operation with NBC which and which they never

411
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 6: really got credit for, and actually, in order to kind

412
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 6: of simplify the story and get more value for their

413
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 6: media business, they announced that they will be separating out

414
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 6: those media operations, which will happen sometime in twenty twenty seven.

415
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 6: But you have the cable business that has really come

416
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: under tremendous pressure, and we're seeing that both you know,

417
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: with Comcast as well as Charter. Comcast is slightly better

418
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 6: because again they have that divers diversification as you pointed

419
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 6: out with media, but cable valuations if you just track

420
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 6: them over the past four years of Alexis, I mean,

421
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 6: they've basically gone down by fifty percent, so right now

422
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: we're under five percent historical lows. And the problem is

423
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 6: that the story is not getting any better. So with

424
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 6: the emergence of Starlink and the possibility of having much

425
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 6: greater competition in the broadband landscape, you know, the story

426
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 6: just gets so much more complicated and muddied for both

427
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 6: Comcasts and Charter.

428
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at that service area. Charter Communications provides

429
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: a service across forty one states, including much of New York, California, Texas, Florida,

430
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 3: and I'm taking a look at the STAE now coming

431
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: up to nine percent year to date. I mean, is

432
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: it a possibility here that Charter Communications either tries to

433
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: sell off some parts of the business or just gets

434
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: bought out in the next couple of years.

435
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 6: Excellent question, And this is what all of us have

436
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 6: kind of been, you know, scratching our heads with. So

437
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: one of the things that came out of the Comcast's

438
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 6: decision to separate out its NBC media business is the

439
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 6: fact that now the remaining business will be a pure

440
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 6: play cable company, a clean cable company, and that kind

441
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: of sets the stage for a potential you know, m

442
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 6: and a deal with Charter. So remember there is really

443
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 6: no regional overlap with this. Both Comcasts and Charter will

444
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 6: have that national footprint. And really what investors are banking

445
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 6: on is that a combined company with roughly about eighty

446
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 6: billion dollars in costs, can can really extricate some synergies,

447
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 6: maybe up to about five to six billion dollars, and

448
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 6: they would be then able to compete better against fiber

449
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 6: and fixed wireless, which has really caused us extreme deterioration

450
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 6: in their subscriber trends. That's what everybody's hoping for We'll

451
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 6: see how everything plays out.
