We're going 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: to dig into what really its relationship with Opening Eye 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: and how much it's committing to funding. It is going 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 3: to look like we're looking at Oracle now up two 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: percentage points. It's selling a whole wealth of debt and equity. 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: But does this steady the nerves that it would in 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: some way temp junk status on its debt. We're getting 33 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 3: into that a little bit later. Move on there, because 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: then the here and now we're looking at earnings and it 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: was tepid growth more broadly that we saw for Disney, 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: and that particular seems to be being pointed forward to 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: this fiscal quarter that we look at what is the 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: worry about people not traveling towards many of the parks 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: in the year to come. We're currently off by four 40 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: percent to say, on the interry day basis, but interesting 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: news over the course of a weekend as well. About management. 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: Felix Chillette joins us. Now, just going to the fundamentals 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: of the business. The quarter they just reported was strong, 44 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 3: particularly in streaming, but it seems to be where we're 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: going in parks, which is a slight nervousness. 46 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, they just reported record sales and parks 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: for the previous quarter. They hit ten billion dollars of 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: sales in the quarter for the first time. But they 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 4: offer this outlook today that said, you know, in the 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: current quarter, there are some concerns. There's all this you know, 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: volatility in terms of the international market. Are they going 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 4: to have as many international visitors to the parks. They're 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 4: going to shift some of their marketing to try and 54 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: attract more domestic visitors to the domestic parks. There's also 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: increased costs. They're launching a new cruise ship. They have 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: a new Frozen exhibit opening in the parks in France. 57 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, the park's outlook for this quarter is not 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: as good coming off a very strong quarter. 59 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Interesting time for parks though, and it's leadership because we 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: understand there's a key vote going on at the boarderlane 61 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: this week. 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, so the ward is meeting they're expected to vote 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: on Bob Isereiger's successor. We've been watching this for three 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 4: years now. They are leaning towards Josh Tomorrow, who's the 65 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: head of Parks, and we're expecting to see that vote 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: this week. Disney previously said they're going to announce a 67 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: successor for Bob Biger sometime before the end of March. 68 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: So things are moving forward and it makes sense that 69 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: Josh Tomorrow would be in the lead at this point. 70 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: The Parks and Cruise division is providing the vast amounts 71 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: of profit at this company, and it sort of reflects 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: where things are at. The experience is really working well 73 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: for consumers right now, and we've talked about the home 74 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: entertainment is still somewhat tumultuous as we make this transition 75 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: from cable to streaming. 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: Felix Junette with the best run up. We so appreciate it. 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: Thank you. Meanwhile, Disney CEO Bob Byga. 78 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: Didn't talk about their IP, saying there's no rush to 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: acquire any more of it. 80 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: Here he is in Today's Enny's Cool. 81 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: I think we have a great hand. I don't really 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 5: feel that we have a need to buy more iping 83 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: to continue to create our. 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 6: Own and we've got an unbelievable bedrock of stories already 85 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 6: told to grow. 86 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: From sticking to Disney, streaming landscape and more with Daniel 87 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: Payne his slate Stone Wealth CIO. Just for a moment, 88 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: we're just talking about how important the parks are. But 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 3: from the streaming side, it had a really good innings 90 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: in terms of profitability. Finally, in terms of the previous 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: court are just reported on that push us forward. 92 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, really good from the entertainment standpoint, and that's where 93 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 6: they see a lot of their operating leverage leverage. 94 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 5: In the company. 95 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 6: But we do believe moving forward there are a few 96 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 6: catalysts out there on the experiences, which is their parks 97 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 6: and cruises over the course of the year that really 98 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 6: could be beneficial to shareholders. 99 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: You know. 100 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 6: The near term concerns which they mentioned for the first 101 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 6: quarter because of international travel, you know, might be pressuring 102 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 6: the stock today along with the management changing. So there's 103 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 6: a lot going there, you know, under the hood. But 104 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 6: bottom line is we got massive stimulus and down to 105 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 6: pipe in this country with the tax cuts, with the 106 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 6: one big beautiful bill, We're going to have about one 107 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty billion dollars of tax refunds for consumers, 108 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 6: and the US consumer they've proven over and over again 109 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 6: that if they're halfway confident with their job and they 110 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 6: have excess money in their pocket, they're going to spend it. 111 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 6: So that could be a catalyst moving forward once we 112 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 6: get into summer. And another thing that nobody's really talking 113 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 6: about is that this summer we have a few events 114 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 6: that are kind of unique for this country. We have 115 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 6: the World Cup here this summer, and we have the 116 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 6: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country, which. 117 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 5: Is going to be a lot of steamless in and 118 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 5: of itself. 119 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 6: I've seen some projections that the World Cup is going 120 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 6: to generate about six point five people coming for the event, 121 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 6: it's going to generate roughly seventeen billion in GDP for 122 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 6: this country. And you know, with those kind of visitors, 123 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 6: who's not to say they might stay a little bit 124 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 6: longer and bolt on a trip to one of the 125 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 6: Disney parks moving forward, So I think longer term, there 126 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 6: could be some catalyst to get this stock out of 127 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 6: the fund that has been in over the past four 128 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 6: years under the current management. 129 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: We'll talk about management and current management, how do you 130 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 3: feel about maybe the person who's helped drive the park's 131 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: business becoming the CEO of the whole business again. 132 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 6: Well, that could be the reason why we've seen some 133 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 6: weakness today because it could be like, you know, here 134 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 6: we go again, because if you remember back in twenty twenty, 135 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 6: we had the same thing happen when I Eiger, you know, 136 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 6: placed his hand picked successor, Bob Chappick, in control, and 137 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 6: you know, unfortunately for Chapick, he was put in control 138 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 6: of the entire operations in February of twenty twenty, so 139 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 6: we know exactly what happened a month or two later. 140 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 6: It's kind of hard to run a company when the 141 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 6: whole economy shuts down and discretionary spending comes to a halt. 142 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 6: So you know, that might be kind of unfair to 143 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 6: judge Chappick on that, but there could be some nervousness 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 6: with investors by doing the same thing once again, putting 145 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 6: the head of the experiences, which again is parts and 146 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 6: cruise line and gaming ahead at the charge of the company. 147 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 5: So there might be some hesitancy there. 148 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 6: But I will say Disney over the past four years 149 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 6: has nearly doubled their EPs, but yet the stock has 150 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 6: been essentially flats. We've had massive valuation contraction. And if 151 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 6: they get the right person in charge that can pull 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 6: the various levers of this company, you know, we can 153 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 6: have a premium brand once again trading at a premium valuation. 154 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 6: So right now the stock trades at roughly seventeen times 155 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 6: to twenty twenty six earn exestimus about six sixty. You know, 156 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 6: if a market multiple is placed upon this premium brand, 157 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 6: you know the stock could get into the mid one 158 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 6: fifties with pretty much ease. 159 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 5: And so that is significant. 160 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 6: Upside potential if the right person can make the right 161 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 6: decisions moving forward. 162 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: If we hear it's Josh, and we know the board 163 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: is voting this week and then they've promised us that 164 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: we would hear by the end of March. If that's 165 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: the case, then where do you think they can drive 166 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: the realization that their IP is worth so much more 167 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: that the spending isn't having to just go up into 168 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: the right when they're trying to market the latest Avatar movie, 169 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: or when they're having to really pay top dollar for 170 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: sporting events. I mean, you just went at length and 171 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: what the soccer means for the US more broadly, but 172 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: when you're trying to stream it or show it, it 173 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: gets very expensive. 174 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 5: And that's the problem with that side of the business. 175 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 6: There's significant operating leverage with the variable cost and you know, 176 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 6: you spend all that variable cost money up front and 177 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 6: it's almost. 178 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 5: Like you build it and you hope they show up. 179 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 6: And so you know, if you get the formula right, 180 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 6: you spend the money on the content and it's success, 181 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 6: then that significant leverage for the earnings growth of the company. 182 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 6: And that's kind of the factor that investors are weighing 183 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 6: right now with especially with this change in leadership. Could 184 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 6: it just adds uncertainty to the stock but you know, 185 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 6: once again, you know, and uncertainty lead to opportunity, and 186 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 6: their opportunities how you make money in the stock over 187 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 6: market cycle. 188 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: Daniel Payne a Slate Stone Wealth. 189 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: I appreciate it coming on today and coming up the US. 190 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: It aims to slash. 191 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: Its reliance on Chinese rare earths and other metals. We'll 192 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: tell you all about the plans for the first of 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 3: its kind stockpile for the US private sector. 194 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 2: That's next as a blomleg tech. 195 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: President Trump, Well, it's set to launch a twelve billion 196 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: dollar stockpile of strategic critical minerals. The move set to 197 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: count US lance on Chinese rare earth but send prices 198 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: for related companies higher. But it's all according to sources 199 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: thus far. Let's bring in Bloomberg's tech editor in DC, 200 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: Mike Shephard, tell us about this first of its kind 201 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: store for US private sector. What do we know is 202 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: set to potentially be announced here, Mike. 203 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: Well, what we're looking for is the US Export Import 204 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 7: Bank to take a vote later today on approving this package. 205 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 7: The private sector will kick in about one point six 206 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 7: to seven billion dollars as part of this seed money, 207 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 7: and the US Export Import Bank will kick in another 208 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 7: ten billion dollars, and this would be the biggest such 209 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 7: deal in the Bank's history by far. And it really 210 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 7: is a sign of just how much the administration is 211 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 7: pushing in this area of rare roots and critical minerals 212 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 7: and trying to wean the US from its dependence on 213 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 7: China as a key source for these inputs. They're so 214 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 7: essential to the private sector, to autos, to iPhones, to 215 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 7: gas turbines even and without access to them, we risk 216 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 7: seeing a manufacturing supply chain disruption akin to what we 217 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 7: risk experiencing earlier last year when the Chinese government started 218 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 7: to impose some of those export controls on rare earth. 219 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 7: So the US is trying to diversify around it and 220 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 7: ensure both pricing stability and supply stability. 221 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 8: Here. 222 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,359 Speaker 3: Caro administration officials have been detailing what could be announced. 223 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 3: But what's interesting, Mike is through which countries are we 224 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 3: going to be sourcing from and what sort of backstops 225 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 3: do these The export import back need to know that 226 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: they can sell this on correctly and not be landed 227 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: with an awful lot of minerals. 228 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 7: Well, the idea is to ensure that US manufacturers have 229 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 7: this access, and it would create this stockpile akin to 230 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 7: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve here that manufacturers here in the 231 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 7: US could access is needed, they would have to pay 232 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 7: into it to be able to eventually make purchases and 233 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 7: then promise to replenish it down the road. But this 234 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 7: is just one of several steps in the area of 235 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 7: rare earth that the US government is taking right now. 236 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 7: Later this week there will be meetings with dozens of 237 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 7: foreign ministers here in Washington to agree on trying to 238 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 7: find some way to create a mechanism to stabilize prices 239 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 7: and supply around the world, not just here in the US, 240 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 7: but with allies, so that collectively they can reduce some 241 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 7: of their dependence on China and increase extraction, mining and 242 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 7: refining in a number of other countries. While we call 243 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 7: them rare earths, they are actually fairly common. It is 244 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 7: just that they are not extracted or exploited in as 245 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 7: many places as they are, and to the extent that 246 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 7: China has come to dominate the market and cara. The 247 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 7: clock is ticking. Remember that the trade truths that the 248 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 7: President signed with Shijinping late last year, it's only good 249 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 7: for one year, so they have to start making these 250 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 7: moves to ensure that supply won't be as disrupted as 251 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 7: a risk being facing earlier last year before the trade agreement. 252 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: I'll see how project vaulted it is known continues being 253 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: by to Smack Shepherd. Thanks for detailing all of this. 254 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: Let's get the broader economic picture now to well what's 255 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: moving tech stocks in particular Natal Gallagher's with US principal 256 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: economists and director at Board. 257 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: Just going back to that rarer suggestion, is. 258 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: That positive do we need is supply chain, real headache 259 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 3: for the this is out there right now. 260 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 9: Yeah. 261 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 10: Absolutely, you know what we're seeing as a fundamental shift 262 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 10: in how the US has really been addressing supply chain 263 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 10: resilience over the past few years and absolutely top of 264 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 10: mind following the export control measures by China back in 265 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 10: twenty twenty five. You know what, in essence we're doing 266 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 10: is we're creating a strategic preserve of rare earth menerals 267 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 10: for the digital economy, which means that we're less at 268 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 10: the behest of foreign entities as we try to continue 269 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 10: to move forward right in AI innovation and all the 270 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 10: potential for the economy that that really houses. 271 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: A lot of the focus has been not so much 272 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: on supply chain of rare US as well as that, 273 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 3: but also really just the bottlenecks that we see in 274 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: delivering the AI hope and euphoria that is built into 275 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: the market, whether that's power, that's energy, whether it's land. Natalie, 276 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: where do you stand in terms of the reality of 277 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: AI and what has been thus far driving a lot 278 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: a lot of stock share and shares high this year? 279 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 11: Yeah? 280 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 10: Absolutely, I mean twenty twenty five we saw a really 281 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 10: intense increase in valuations there's a lot of hope in 282 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 10: what AI can deliver. We heard that at the DeVos 283 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 10: Economic Forum, also allowed and clear by many key tech 284 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 10: and political leaders as well. Now, in order for these 285 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 10: valuations to hold in twenty twenty six, and what we're 286 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 10: really going to have to see and it's going to 287 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 10: sort of earmark the year, is a close right in 288 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 10: the gap between how much is being spent on AI 289 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 10: and the ROI that we're actually going to achieve. If 290 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 10: we get those productivity gains, then this is absolutely a 291 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 10: great story of foresight. If we don't see those productivity gains, 292 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 10: then we're going to have a conversation much more housed 293 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 10: around capital misallocation. 294 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: But now, Sie, how's that going to show up? As 295 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: an economist? You looking at job's data? I mean, because 296 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: at the moment, all we're seeing is jobs cuts upon 297 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 3: jobs cut, which in some way seems to be going 298 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: back to AI. 299 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's fascinating right what we're seeing in 300 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 10: the overall jobs data. I'll first sort of approach that 301 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 10: and then tell you as an economist what I'm looking at. 302 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 10: We look at the jobs data, there's not a whole 303 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 10: lot of evidence that the jobs that are currently being 304 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 10: cut is. 305 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 11: Due to AI. 306 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 10: Right, we know that that's what companies are saying. At 307 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 10: the same time, it's not really showing up in a 308 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 10: clear way in the data. 309 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 11: On the other hand, what. 310 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 10: We do really need to see is almost a discontinuous 311 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 10: jump in the productivity data. Right, So if we're sort 312 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 10: of on this level increase, what we really want to 313 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 10: see with AI is we're jumping up and then we're 314 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 10: on a totally new level playing field when we see that, 315 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,479 Speaker 10: and there should be early adopters in some key industries. 316 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 10: I'm thinking, you know, healthcare, consulting, finance, we should see 317 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 10: those early signals and they should be showing up in the. 318 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: Data as soon as twenty twenty six. You think. 319 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 10: That, I firmly believe that's going to need to happen 320 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty six in order for these valuations to 321 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 10: be deemed worthwhile. 322 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: We're going to be getting into these big stories that 323 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: are in the market today of how. 324 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: At the moment we continue to fuel. 325 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: The ever needing expansion of AI infrastructure, whether it's oracles 326 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: selling debt and equity, whether it's well whether or not 327 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 3: in video is going to be giving up to one 328 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars or not to open AI. How are 329 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 3: you seeing that narrative continue in twenty twenty six, and 330 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: we're going to have to see a pullback in the 331 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: amount that the companies are committing. 332 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 10: You know, I think it's more so we're really going 333 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 10: to have to see the ROI in a meaningful way 334 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 10: that we can go back to. And again that gets 335 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 10: back to productivity, and the risk really is as we 336 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 10: sort of pull all of these levers and they get 337 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 10: more and more complex, it becomes a much more opaic environment, 338 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 10: right for investors to really operate in, and so the 339 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 10: risk of those valuations maybe being artificially bolstered goes up. 340 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: Just from your perspective, the narrative of circular deals is 341 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: that actually, in many ways we often put it in 342 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 3: a negative context, but that's exactly what in VIDEOS should 343 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: be doing, investing in its own clients to be able 344 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: to foster the potential ROI that we might see in 345 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: this locks that jump. 346 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean absolutely right. 347 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 10: So if we see this truly meaningful transformation in the 348 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 10: economy that's sort of promised with AI, then. 349 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 11: We're in a great spot, right. 350 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 10: These circular investing schemes that is excellent foresight by these companies. 351 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 10: If we don't see that, right, that's the real risk 352 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 10: of pretty significant market correction, right because that investing scheme, 353 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 10: it is bolstering the overall revenue numbers that we're seeing. 354 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: What therefore are some more of the headwinds. 355 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: Other than waiting for ROAI, we're also still tackling tariffs, 356 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 3: We're still worried about South Korea's relationship with the United States, 357 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 3: for example in the here and now, let alone China. 358 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: What could be the headwind that you're looking out for? 359 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 10: You know, one head wind I'm particularly interested in tracking 360 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 10: is actually jobs. Right, So we're in a labor market overall. 361 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 10: When we talk about the macroeconomy that's quite soft. But 362 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 10: when we speak specifically to AI, machine learning, sort of 363 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 10: these high powered tech jobs, we have a little bit 364 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 10: of a bottleneck there. And so something really interesting that 365 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 10: came out of the US Taiwan trade deal just a 366 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 10: few weeks ago was this goal, right of onshoring significant 367 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 10: supply chain efforts from Taiwan to the US. 368 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 11: In order to do that, we're also. 369 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 10: Going to need significant changes in our workforce development. And 370 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 10: there's a risk there, right, because We've had meaningful policy 371 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 10: changes over the last year alone. 372 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: Fascinating Take Massady Gaga come back soon, we hope. Principal 373 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 3: economist over at Board coming up, elamsk will is in 374 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 3: advanced talks to combine SpaceX with Xai. Will have all 375 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: the details. Next, this is Broombed Tech checking on on 376 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: Tesla shares well. We're seeing the impact of European sluggishness again. 377 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: You saw it throughout twenty twenty five, but down two. 378 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 2: And a half percent. 379 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 3: As we understand, European car sales of Tesla's in particular 380 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: slumped into twenty twenty six, in particular absolutely plummeting French 381 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: shells down forty two percent. They only sold six hundred 382 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 3: and sixty one cars. Norway registrations plunging eighty eight percent. 383 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: But that says we. 384 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 3: Hear specific changes in policy over in Noise in particular, 385 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 3: but look generally Evy registrations going higher in Europe, but 386 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: just not the Tesla, whether it's a political read across 387 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: or whether indeed it continues to be something around the 388 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: brand and a slower adoption of older models versus the 389 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 3: Chinese one. But let's move on to other areas of 390 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: Elon Musk's empire right now, because we understand that he 391 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: is in advanced talks to combine SpaceX with Xai, according 392 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 3: to sources, a deal that would combine, of course, two 393 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 3: of the largest closely held companies in the world. I 394 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: just think XAAA is valued two hundred billion dollars. SpaceX 395 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 3: is currently worth eight hundred billion dollars at the last 396 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 3: Camp and their Deals Team Managing editor Ianna Baker joins 397 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 3: us some more, there's been a lot of conversation about 398 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 3: somehow his empire combining forces, whether it's Tesla and SpaceX 399 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 3: or Xai and SpaceX. It looks like the latter is 400 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 3: the more likely at the moment. 401 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 12: That's the idea that's gained traction in you know, late 402 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 12: last week and over the weekend, that it looks like 403 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 12: these two private companies SpaceX and Xai, which also on X, 404 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 12: would come together. It's possible, and the future Tesla could 405 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 12: be involved. There's a lot of theories that one day 406 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 12: there's just going to be one huge Elon must conglomerate. 407 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 12: But for now, at least it looks like this is 408 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 12: the plan and that SpaceX would still go public later 409 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 12: this year. 410 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: I can see that. 411 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 3: The benefit for xais that it needs a ton of money. 412 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 3: What is in theory the benefit to investors of both 413 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: these companies buy culbination. 414 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 12: A lot of this is futuristic. If investors in SpaceX 415 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 12: want to see these data centers in space one day, 416 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 12: which there's been some filings that could indicate maybe that's 417 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 12: something they're working on. This is a way to bring 418 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 12: that together. But definitely, you know, is it a bailout 419 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 12: of XAI, you know, compared to SpaceX hard to say. 420 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 12: We don't know any details on what is the structure 421 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 12: right now, what shares will be transferred or exchange or 422 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 12: swaps for each other, so those details still need to 423 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 12: come out to see, you know, how shareholders make out. 424 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: And what sort of approvals do they need because we 425 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: understand a lot of this has got investors support, but 426 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 3: do they need to Can it just be done because 427 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: it must thinks it's the right thing to do. 428 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 12: It's hard to say, but last year when x and 429 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 12: Xai merge, it kind of just happened in an ex 430 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 12: post and that's fat A lot of this, especially when 431 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 12: there's private companies, the M and A is very much 432 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 12: behind the scenes. Maybe an investment bank gets brought on 433 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 12: for a fairness opinion, or there's certainly law firms, but 434 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 12: it's hard to say. It's not like a public shareholder 435 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 12: deal or you know, there might be committees, but a lot. 436 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 11: Of it's done behind the scenes. 437 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 12: And if Tesla had been part of this merger, then 438 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 12: you might see more public information or independent board shareholder 439 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 12: votes and whatnot. But this is all going to be 440 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 12: happening kind of under the radar. 441 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: Briefly, who would run it? 442 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 11: That's a great question. 443 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 12: You know, Xai has brought on Anthony Armstrong, a former 444 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 12: investment banker and who worked in the government. You know, 445 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 12: SpaceX has leadership, and our reporting you know, doesn't have 446 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 12: the answers. But there's certainly a few people in Elon 447 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 12: Musk's sphere that could you know, potentially run this. Apparently 448 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 12: all his executives do everything at all the company, so 449 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 12: maybe it's just everyone. 450 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: Certainly there's cross pollination already. Leanna Baker is a great 451 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 3: scoop that came out earlier today. We so appreciate it. Meanwhile, 452 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 3: coming up Oracle, it's raising to build out to day 453 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 3: our infrastructure, with plans to raise up to fifty billion 454 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: dollars on that. 455 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: Next, this is blue Beg Tech. Welcome back to Blue 456 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 2: Beg Tech. We check in on these market. 457 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: It's a bit of a reprieve if you're in stocks 458 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: and the dollar today, not so much if you're in 459 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: gold and silver or up nineteen percent on the Nasdaq 460 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: one hundred is we get a bit of a bounce 461 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: back after a couple of days selling on big tech stocks. 462 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: We're looking at Bitcoin, It's seventy nine thousand. Look it's 463 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: up on the day, but boy was it sold off 464 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: hard throughout the weekend. Once again, we're questioning people's desire 465 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: full risk assets. More broadly, at these sorts of valuations. 466 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: Digital gold has not been particularly loved. Meanwhile, gold got 467 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: absolutely hammered on Friday and continuing into Monday. But let's 468 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: look at some of the other areas of focus when 469 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: it comes to individual stocks. The mood because underneath the 470 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 3: hood and Video has been one of the ways down 471 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: in terms of points. We're going to dig into why 472 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 3: in Video is perhaps reassessing how much is going to 473 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 3: be committing to Open AI's infrastructure build out, how it 474 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: commits to that as well. So we also see how 475 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 3: Oracle is up to and a half percent, having brought 476 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: a little bit more transparency as to what they need 477 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: to raise for its own AI infrastructure, largely to open 478 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: AI bonds stock. The sales are upon us already. Bloomberg's 479 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 3: Brodie Ford joins us, who was working hard all weekend 480 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: because it was on a Sunday that we learn that 481 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 3: here's a company that's looking to raise what up to 482 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: fifty billion and a make sure of equity and. 483 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 13: Debt Sunday night, it's time to raise more money. Yeah, 484 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 13: it was kind of a unique situation to have this 485 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 13: kind of large announcement from a company as mature as 486 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 13: Oracle on a Sunday. But what that really underscores is 487 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 13: how Oracle has become this poster child of all the 488 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 13: AI financing fears. It's expected to be negative free cash 489 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 13: flow for the next couple of years as it builds 490 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 13: massive data centers, and the big question has been and 491 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 13: how much money will they have to borrow to do that? 492 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 13: Will they be able to maintain their investment grade? And 493 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 13: they essentially were trying to respond to these concerns and 494 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 13: say that no, we have a solid plan. 495 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: And it's interesting maybe they've been learned from past haste 496 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: with a previous bond sell at the end of last 497 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: year where Bonholder was an own suing because. 498 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: They felt that they didn't get enough. 499 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 3: Well clear transparency that this was a company that will 500 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 3: be tapping the debt market a lot. 501 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: When we're looking at what they're getting. 502 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: Today, though there's three year floating rate notes, there's three 503 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: a fixed, five year fixed, seven year fixed, what's a 504 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 3: long seventy. 505 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,239 Speaker 2: Ar, ten year, thirty or forty year. 506 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 3: How much they're having to pay for the debt side 507 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: of the equation, which they actually say is the only 508 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 3: time they're going to be tapping the bond markets. 509 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 13: This year, Well they're gonna be. They're expected to get 510 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 13: a ton of free cash flow once you look a 511 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 13: couple of years out, once those OAI contracts and others 512 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 13: start flowing. And what's particularly interesting today is to see 513 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 13: them issue equity and often when that happens, investors don't 514 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 13: like dilution and the stock goes down. So it's funny 515 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 13: to see the stock go up on an equity insurance. 516 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 13: And what that means is that the company is willing 517 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 13: to do what it takes to keep investment grade. It 518 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 13: does not want to get saddled with some incredible interest rates. 519 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 13: We've heard a lot of concerns on these loans, and 520 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 13: so they're trying to show that they're going to do 521 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 13: what it takes to maintain a good rating. 522 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 3: And actually that was really what we heard from the 523 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 3: analyst space coming out here, saying this should be positive 524 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: sign that they are really committed to avoiding junk. 525 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 13: Absolutely, and I think what it is too is just clarity. 526 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 13: I mean, there's been so much uncertainty about Hey, is 527 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 13: Oracle going to be able to get all of the 528 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 13: loans it needs? Is it going to be able to 529 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 13: complete this build out seamlessly? Is Open AI going to 530 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 13: pay its bills? That's a lot of the questions that 531 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 13: have been weighing on the stock and so kind of 532 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 13: any new information that shows a specific plan, almost whatever 533 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 13: that plan is, as long as it seems reasonable, is 534 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 13: going to be read as good news. 535 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 3: We'll see how the up to twenty five billion dollars 536 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: on sale goes today and and need some of those 537 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: convertible notes as well. Broddie Ford all over the Oracle story, 538 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 3: and let's stay with the AI related debt story now, 539 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: because the cost of data center build out, it is 540 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 3: expected to. 541 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: Top three trillion dollars. 542 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: An Oracle isn't the only tech company borrowing to finance 543 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: their plans, but he works senior private credit reporter policylks. 544 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: And joins us. 545 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 3: Now, who you've been looking across the board at the 546 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 3: panacee all ways in which companies are trying to finance 547 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 3: an extraordinary amount of build out right now? How much 548 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 3: are they leaning on public bond markets or indeed the 549 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: rest of the debt system. 550 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 14: So the best way to think about this is they 551 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 14: are tapping all debt markets. So we have obviously the 552 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 14: typical unbalanced sheet corporate borrowing, which you see like with 553 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 14: the Oracle deal today. That can be an investment grade bond, 554 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 14: a hiled bond, or a leverage loan, or even a 555 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 14: private credit direct loan. But there's a lot of off 556 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 14: balance sheet borrowing happening as well. I know that sounds 557 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 14: a little bit scary when you first hear the words 558 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 14: off balance sheet, but what it simply means is that 559 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 14: instead of an investor lending to the company, they're lending 560 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 14: to the actual data center project itself. So they create 561 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 14: a special purpose vehicle that is the actual building, or 562 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 14: an owner and borrower to create the data center. When 563 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 14: you tap that, that opens up a whole other realm 564 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 14: of markets. So, for example, the bank project finance construction 565 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 14: loan market has been heavily involved in this space. You're 566 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 14: seeing private placements, which are typically insurance companies. You're seeing 567 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 14: structured finance investors in the form of commercial mortgage. 568 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 11: Backed securities and asset backed securities. 569 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 14: You're seeing private credit, You're seeing GPU finance for the chips. 570 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 11: It is touching all parts of the debt markets, and. 571 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 3: We think about cole Weaves very much thinking about financing 572 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 3: of the chips to begin with, we saw that deal 573 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 3: between blue Out a meta is a real pin up. 574 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 2: And the private slubpot of the business. What are they 575 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 2: having to pay for all of this? 576 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 14: It really depends, and it can range from just a 577 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 14: little bit over investment grade all the way to double 578 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 14: digit teams mid teens yields. 579 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 11: It just kind of depends on the structure. 580 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 14: There's also a big difference between something that is a 581 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 14: hyperscaler borrowing or ultimately backed by a hyperscaler versus some 582 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 14: of the more risky things where maybe it's a small 583 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 14: early stage company that needs to borrow money. 584 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 11: That's all in on AI. 585 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: We've had a lot of new neo clouds. 586 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: It ca'll hang out you for example, just tell us 587 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: about the need for transparency. Though, what so interesting is 588 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: the equity markets response to Oracle today? It's just few 589 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 3: you're telling us a little bit more. When we have 590 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 3: so much private credit getting involved, do investors feel they 591 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 3: have enough information about just how broadly the borrowing is 592 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 3: going from certain issues? 593 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 11: I think it depends on the issuer. 594 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 14: So Oracle, for example, well, it is doing this off 595 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 14: balance sheet borrowing, it is still tied to those data 596 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 14: centers through lease commitments, and that does show up publicly 597 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 14: in their financial statements. 598 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 11: But I think for a lot. 599 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 14: Of these deals it's actually pretty much all private. It's 600 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 14: also a lot of times private company is doing it, 601 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 14: so then the investor base is just a very different 602 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 14: investor base. And I hope we're getting disclosures, but it's unclear. 603 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 14: And I think what makes it nerve wracking for the 604 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 14: markets is even if those private company investors are learning 605 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 14: about it, maybe the rest of the market doesn't know, 606 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 14: and that can just cause unease and uncertainty around the 607 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 14: absolute scale of the debt being borrowed right now. 608 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: Well, said Bloommegg's polastics and got to go and read 609 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: her offers throughout all about the debt markets. Really interesting stuff. Meanwhile, 610 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: let's go to other Ai build out. In video, CEO 611 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 3: Jensen Huang says the company has proposed one hundred billion 612 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: dollar investment in open Ai was quote never a commitment. 613 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: Speaking to reporters in time, Hay over the weekend reiterated 614 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 3: his support for the chat chip tea maker, but did 615 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: not disclose the total investment. 616 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 6: Just to listen, Sam is closing the realm, and we 617 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 6: will absolutely be. 618 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 5: Interupted in their home mode, their home mode. 619 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 7: We will invest a great deal of money, probably the 620 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 7: largest investment we've ever made a. 621 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 3: Large So is that going to be your overall one 622 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 3: hundred peal? 623 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing like that. 624 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 3: Fair Figeman joins us now for what was a busy weekend, 625 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 3: as always from mister Huango for in Taipei. Look are 626 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: we meant to be surprised that when you've inked some 627 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 3: sort of deal and said look we're good for up 628 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: to one hundred billion dollars that actually that hasn't been 629 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 3: fully ironed out and agreed and it's up to sch 630 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: Mega walk coming online a little bit. 631 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's important to step back. I 632 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 8: remember when this deal was announced in a few months back. 633 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 8: It was a monumental moment for both companies. One that 634 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 8: attested to the scope of the buildout that opening I 635 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 8: had in mind and Nvidia's role in that, and also 636 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 8: a lot of the circular deals concerns. To your point, 637 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 8: there are a lot of daylight there. They've ever set 638 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 8: a firm timetable or a fixed amount, and so there 639 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 8: was room to imagine and maybe it wouldn't be one 640 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 8: hundred billion dollars, But now I think it's a question 641 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 8: of just how far away is it from that, and 642 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 8: again over what timetable. 643 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 3: Some of the reporting from other networks and outlets has 644 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 3: been that actually in video is getting uncomfortable with a 645 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 3: competitive landscape, uncomfortable with a so called discipline of open AI. 646 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: Is that something that we're hearing in our reporting or 647 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: is this more this is a company that's maybe he 648 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: is aware of the criticism around circular financing and it's 649 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,239 Speaker 3: just been questioning a little bit more. 650 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's unclear, and it's a delicate balance 651 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 8: here between these two companies. Even if Nvidia is maybe 652 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 8: having those concerns that you lay out, Opening Eye is 653 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 8: still very central both to a larger landscape and to 654 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 8: Nvidia's own deployment of chips. It's clear that the relationship 655 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 8: between these two firms has not broken down. As Jensen said, 656 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 8: we'll probably be the largest investment they've ever made, and 657 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 8: will probably be the largest funding round we've ever seen. 658 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 8: But it's possible there is some daylight there. 659 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: Let's just go to that funding round because that's what's 660 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 3: currently under negotiation. We know that Middle Eastern investors has 661 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: been eyed up, we know the Amazon's interested in the round. 662 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: So what sort of scale are we talking and how 663 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 3: will it be related to using certain companies equipment or 664 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 3: giga what's coming online? 665 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, so, I mean we've reported that up to one 666 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 8: hundred billion dollars in this funding round, which again would 667 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 8: be the largest that we've ever seen, trumping Opening Eyes 668 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 8: prior forty billion dollar funding rounds. We've seen that Amazon, 669 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 8: SoftBank and Vidia each willing to potentially commit billions or 670 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 8: tens of billions of dollars to this round. Does not 671 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 8: currently feel like Opening Eye is hurting for money in 672 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 8: that one respect remains to be seen. And then to 673 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 8: your question, not just in Vidia, but certainly Amazon, Microsoft, 674 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 8: like these are all, if not circular relationships. Then continued 675 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 8: examples of the companies using the suppliers to fund their ambitions. 676 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 3: Well, we'll keep a track of it, figure and breaking 677 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: it all down on that relationship between the video and 678 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 3: open Ai. Meanwhile, coming up, let's talk about crypto exchanges. 679 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: They're under pressure. 680 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 3: Plunging trading volumes is really the issue. At the moment, 681 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 3: we're off by just a couple of percent. We've cooped 682 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: some of our losses on the day, but we'll dig 683 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 3: into it next. 684 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: This has been their tech bearish sentiment in crypto. 685 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: It is weighing on the exchanges as investors pull back 686 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: on trading platforms like coinbase and Gemini, Well, they're seeing 687 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 3: stock prices and training volumes drop more on the entire ecosystem. 688 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: Let's bring in Boombog cross asset reporter Isabel Lee and 689 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 3: no Wonder. Companies exposed to trading and volume are going 690 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: to be feeling the pain when everyone probably takes. 691 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: A bit of a step back at this moment, definitely 692 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 2: a step back. 693 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 15: I was sitting in my SOFA nicely over the weekend, 694 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 15: and then bitcoin fell. It fell to as slower since April, 695 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 15: the tarify of in volatility. So it's made a lot 696 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 15: of investors panic. Granted, thin liquidity over the weekend and 697 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 15: fewer traders, fewer online, and we know they've been Bitcoin falls. 698 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 15: It triggers a wave of liquidations. We saw billions and 699 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 15: billions of long and short positions liquidated. But still investors 700 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 15: have been increasingly becoming a little unhappy with bitcoin because 701 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 15: macro factors that used to help it before haven't been 702 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 15: really helping. Like a weeker dollar that's supposed to be 703 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 15: good for bitcoin, but it's not really helping right now. 704 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 15: So now we're seeing January decline and it's really one 705 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 15: of the longest streaks. I think it's a fourth straight 706 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 15: monthly decline, the longest streak since twenty eighteen. 707 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 3: I mean, bitcoin shed nearly eleven percent in January. At 708 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: one point it was trading the lowest since President Trump's 709 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 3: returned to the White House. Much had been hoped for 710 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 3: regulatory changes, in particular what white get through Congress that 711 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 3: seems to be put on ice. 712 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: Is that also an issue? Definitely, it's put on. 713 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 15: Ice because if this president, which is supposed to be 714 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 15: the most crypto friendly president, can't help it, what can 715 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 15: And you also see it and flows flows are drying up. 716 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 15: I mean, sure it's just a bucket and this we 717 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 15: still have more than a billion dollars in assets, but 718 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 15: you see flows drying up. I think investors have been 719 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 15: spoiled because it used to be always green on disc 720 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 15: green inflos after inflows. When bitcoin ETF's launch in twenty 721 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 15: twenty four, which is crazy, two years ago, it made 722 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 15: records after records, and now I mean some would say 723 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 15: it's consolidation. Some would say, oh great, now I can 724 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 15: buy it's an attractive entry point because for a while 725 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 15: Bitcoin has been too high, and if it's too high, 726 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 15: I mean, how will that be an attractive entry point. 727 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 15: So it's a mixed sentiment out there, but for now, 728 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 15: you can't deny that there's some gloom in crypto. 729 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 3: World, some blue for Michael Sailor in particular. I mean, 730 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: just talk to us about these digital asset treasury companies 731 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 3: and how much this pain must be hurting. 732 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 11: Them, just like bitcoin. 733 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 15: I think digital asset treasuries are whether you love them 734 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 15: or you hate them. But today headlines are making for 735 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 15: Michael Sailor because for the first time, the plunge token's 736 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 15: price fell below the purchase cost of Michael Sailor's leverage 737 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 15: bitcoin proxy and strategy. So that's really something. There are 738 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 15: no margin calls yet. I want to make sure there's 739 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 15: no immediate financial stress, no expectation to sell bitcoin. But 740 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 15: it's just something worth noting. Could this be the beginning 741 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 15: of something? Maybe, but maybe it's also just like a 742 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 15: bad day, a bad week, a bad month. But it's 743 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 15: definitely worth noting because he is the biggest, biggest bull 744 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 15: of bigcoin and lots Street. 745 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the company's cost basis is about seventy six thousand, 746 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 3: and we went below that for a moment. I mean, 747 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 3: we see the shot stock price just get off of 748 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 3: its lows, but still under pressure. Once again, isabell lee 749 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 3: across the sasset class for us, we appreciate it. Now 750 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 3: coming up Palenteer earnings, they come up after the bell. 751 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 3: We're going to discuss what to expect. That's in Bloomberg Tech. 752 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: Earning. 753 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 3: Still coming all lies on pal Andeer reporting after the 754 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 3: closing bell today and actually, for the first time in 755 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: two years, Palentiner's shares are not rallying into a. 756 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: Quarterly earnings report. 757 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 3: Let's break it all down Bloomberg's Tech Equity Reporter com 758 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 3: and rhaning key on the day, they're up just a 759 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 3: little bit, but yet to date it's been brutal. 760 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 11: Right, it has. 761 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 9: And if you look even further back to November when 762 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 9: they hit the record high ahead of their last earnings report, 763 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 9: the drawdown is about twenty five percent, which is pretty 764 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 9: significant for Palenti, for any stock, and a very different 765 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 9: setup that we've seen going into our earnings from previous reports. 766 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 9: So it's definitely looking like, you know, the stock could 767 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 9: get a little bit of help. Its valuation is still 768 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 9: very high, even though it's come in a little bit. 769 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 9: With this, you know, the stocks decline, so investors are 770 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 9: looking for some very key things. I mean, pounds expected 771 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 9: to put up another great quarter. The guidance will really 772 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 9: be paramount, and there's a lot of volatility in this name, 773 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 9: so we could really see big swings in either direction. 774 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 3: I mean, revenue is still meant to be sixty one 775 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 3: percent growth fifty more than fifty percent for the fiscal 776 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 3: full year. But doctor CoP's got to be aware of 777 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 3: how many ways has deemed a bit of a mean stock, 778 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: and as we've just been discussing with crypto and bitcoin, 779 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 3: we've seen a lot of changes where people have been 780 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 3: wanting to allocate. 781 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 2: Is that anything to do. 782 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 3: With it, It's more about just a terrible time for software 783 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 3: in general. 784 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 9: I think it's a little bit more tied to the 785 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 9: software you know sell off. We've seen a couple analysts 786 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 9: commenting on that it's just gotten weighed down with the 787 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 9: rest of the sector. I think there also could be 788 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 9: you know, there's been some of a rotation away from 789 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 9: you know, the most expensive tech names. This definitely is 790 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 9: in that camp. And you know, a source said to me, 791 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 9: if you're looking to rotate in something's over one hundred 792 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 9: times you know forward earnings, that's not really maybe the 793 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 9: place that you're going to be looking to buy.

Look how many we've got coming and 802 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 3: please to say Fiona Sincotter's senior analysta City Index Financial can. 803 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 15: Talk us to. 804 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 3: We've got a MD on Tuesday, Qualcom, Alphabet Wednesday, Thursday 805 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 3: got the big one that is an Amazon far out. 806 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,479 Speaker 3: How do you embrace for some of these numbers, because look, 807 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 3: Microsoft last week wasn't a bad set of numbers, absolutely 808 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 3: beaten up when people were worried about the capital expenditure. 809 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. 810 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 16: I mean, we're definitely seeing this sort of division between 811 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 16: those techs that are in favor and those that are not. 812 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 16: And I think that's going to be even more under 813 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 16: the microscope as these earnings come through, the market is 814 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 16: very much more selective about where they're looking to direct capital. 815 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 16: You know, before, as we said, it was just very 816 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 16: much more jump on that tech trade and ride it higher. 817 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 16: There really wasn't too much in it. But that's just 818 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 16: not the case anymore. And we're seeing, you know, even 819 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 16: numbers that come out relatively good, like we said with Microsoft, 820 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 16: end up with you know, a ten percent drop in 821 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 16: the stock. And at the same time we saw Meta 822 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 16: driving ten percent higher. So it does feel a little 823 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 16: bit more unpredictable in that respect, and it also means 824 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 16: that the bar I would say is even higher on 825 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 16: these companies to impress than it has been before, even 826 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 16: though valuations in some cases have come down a bit 827 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 16: given that sort of setout of tech that we had 828 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 16: seen since the November highs. 829 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 3: So let's just start with Palenteer for example, what would 830 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 3: a software company that is going to deliver more than 831 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 3: sixty percent earnings for share growth more than sixty percent 832 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 3: revenue growth have to articulate, you think to change the 833 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: sentiment on the name. 834 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 16: I mean, I think Ford Guidance is going to be 835 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 16: absolutely key, and I feel that's where sort of, you know, 836 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 16: Microsoft might have just sort of let the side down 837 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 16: a little bit compared to Matter for example. So I 838 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 16: think for Guidance is going to be massively impressive in 839 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 16: order to support this valuation. I mean, as we spoke about, 840 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 16: you know, the evaluation here is what one hundred and 841 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 16: forty times expected earnings. 842 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 2: So you know, it really has a lot to live 843 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 2: up to. And given that we've. 844 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 16: Seen all these questions about the AI spend capital expenditure, 845 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 16: what's the monetization. This does mean that investors do actually 846 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 16: want to see that something's coming through now, And for 847 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 16: that reason, I think Ford guidance is going to be 848 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 16: key here. 849 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, if anyone can show productivity and articulate what AI 850 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 3: is doing, palentteer like you do that. Meanwhile, Alphabet's that 851 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 3: one stop shop, vertically integrated, showing what it can do 852 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 3: with its own chips, doing what it can do with 853 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 3: its own tech and hardware and the whole shebang. What 854 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 3: do you anticipate? Alphabet has had a lot of mood 855 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 3: music to the positive of late. Will that hold? 856 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 6: Yeah? 857 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 16: So, I mean I think this is definitely one of 858 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 16: the stocks that seems to be in the favored few. 859 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 16: I mean, if we look at up eight percent across January, 860 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 16: which is you know, pretty good returns for a tex 861 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 16: stook in January sixty eight percent year on year. But 862 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 16: I think, you know, Amazon and again with sorry Alphabet, 863 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 16: again with Amazon, are going to be very much a 864 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 16: litmus test as far as that whole sort of you 865 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 16: know AI theme is concerned. Obviously, with Alphabet, you're looking 866 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 16: at a four trillion dollar valuation, so you know, investors 867 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 16: are really going to want to see whether there's momentum 868 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,280 Speaker 16: in that Google Cloud and advertising to support that valuation. 869 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 16: So you know, focus, as I said, will be on 870 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 16: that cloud, growth, will be on AI initiatives, monetization of that, 871 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 16: and also spending. I mean, this is what you know 872 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 16: the market has been getting very nervous about. 873 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 2: Is you know, what is that AI spending? What are 874 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 2: we looking at? How much is it expected to go up? 875 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: And what are the returns on the back of that. 876 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 3: What's interesting is both Alphabet and Amazon will be a 877 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 3: bit of a tell fro an in video maybe AMD 878 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 3: as well, which is coming out beforehand, of how well 879 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 3: are they producing their own chips? How much does that 880 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 3: matter to InVideo in the future. I mean, we don't 881 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 3: get their earnings until later in February is always fearing. 882 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 3: But do you think semiconductor concerns should be start to 883 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 3: build in in terms of companies being able to build 884 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 3: their own and just turning to a broad com for example. 885 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it's definitely a question that's on the 886 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 16: table and a focus that will be there. And I 887 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 16: mean if we do see that happening, then obviously that 888 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 16: will move attention away from Nvidia and that sort of 889 00:41:53,520 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 16: you know first to market momentum that that stock had. 890 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 16: I don't think we're necessarily there yet, but I think 891 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 16: it is right to expect that to slowly start creeping in. 892 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 16: So attention will be on that as well, as you said, 893 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 16: you know, and video not for a little while yet, 894 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 16: but it's always a massive focus as we get past 895 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 16: these earnings this week. 896 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 3: How many calls are you taking also about the private side, 897 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 3: the question marks around Opening Eyes fundraising and what that 898 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 3: really means the rest of the ecosystem to your public investors. 899 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 16: For a moment, it's definitely a question, and it's that 900 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 16: question that we had, and it was very much a 901 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 16: concern I think, you know, around October November time, where 902 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 16: there seemed to be a lot of deals going on 903 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 16: and there was that sense of all that question is 904 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 16: this sort of an ecosystem that's growing or is it 905 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 16: just circular investment? 906 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,720 Speaker 2: And I don't think that was ever really resolved. 907 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 16: The market does seem to be a little bit calmer 908 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 16: about those questions for the time being, but I wonder 909 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 16: if we as we move towards and videos, whether those 910 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 16: questions will start to appear again, and especially after we've 911 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 16: had the earnings this. 912 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 3: Week Piana Sincotter bracing us for a big week at 913 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 3: City Index Financial Markets.
