WEBVTT - Meta Platforms, Adobe and Ulta Beauty Plunge

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio News, The.

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm Carol Masser, a longer Tim Statick. Let's get to

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>some stocks on the move on this Friday with us

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>as Bloomberg News crosss that reported Danizza Sikova. You know,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I just have to stop talking. You should start talking, though.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>No, But I want to talk about the competition. The

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 3>competition in AI is heating up. Meta platform shares are

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 3>down four percent today. That's the biggest drops in October.

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Of course, we had that New York Times report about

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 3>their so called Avocado model that is being delayed. But

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 3>metabit made a big splash, all those big hires, you know,

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>all the pay packages were absolutely so they made this. Yeah,

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>they made this big campaign and now there is this

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 3>delay there. Unlyst is saying that they maybe are going

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 3>to license Jamine similarly to what Apple does. Really, yeah,

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 3>that's something that's circulating. But it's interesting because obviously they

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 3>spend all that much money and now there is a delay.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Vital Knowledge is saying this report will raise further questions

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 3>about the objectives of meta AI spending. So investors are

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 3>not too excited about this delayed today, but you know,

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe if it indeed is delivered in a few months,

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>maybe everything will be fine. Lots of competition open AI.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting seeing that move based on this report because

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 4>that is a significant move.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Flower.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, so meta platforms on your radar? What else

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 4>you watching?

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 3>We're looking at Adobe and of course we're talking about

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 3>the AI race, and it hasn't been nice to software

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>company and Adobe ticker ADB shares fill as much as

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 3>eight percent in earlier trading. The stock is on twenty

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>seven percent here today. Of course, Adobe has Photoshop in

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 3>design all those super complicated products to edit video audio,

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>but now with AI, we have much simpler ways to

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>achieve those things. And some of those software are pretty expensive.

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>And we've saw a lot of the names like Salesforce

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 3>at Last, you know, all of those have been under

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 3>a lot of pressure and Adobe is just just the

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 3>next onund to be part of it. And now we

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>see the CEO slipping down who has actually seen a

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of success under his name, Wow at Adobe. But

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>the air revolution is changing everything.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Can't there just be an AI version of Adobe like

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>or is it just.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 4>That is the concern? I mean because the software as

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 4>a services company has been using AI for years, the firefla,

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 4>they've come on our show to talk about, why can't

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 4>they just be well, I think the concern Well, so

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 4>there's a few different things here. It's a software as

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 4>a service company, so you know, companies pay the recurring revenue.

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 4>If you can do some of the things you do

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 4>with products that Adobe makes, like if you can do

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 4>certain things with AI that you don't necessarily need Photoshop

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>for anymore, that's a threat to the company's business. But

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 4>the company's embracing AI. And in the press release yesterday that,

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 4>like you said, also announced that that and Ryan would

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 4>be stepping aside and the new CEO would be coming in.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 4>They did say, this is a company that we're building

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:09.839
<v Speaker 4>for the AI era.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I just do wonder, right, like, I don't know, we'll see.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like there's going to be vertical winners

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>in terms of specific sectors of the market. But what

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>do I know.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I think all the one stop shops are winning, and

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 3>all the kind of morniche shops are clearly under pressure.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Or maybe to your point, care.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's what I think. The niche shops at some

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>point are going to have a very specific data set

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be powerful rather than that broad base

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of data.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 4>Or maybe some analysts have pointed out that it's over sold.

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 4>The concern not I'm not talking about specifically. That's sort

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.119
<v Speaker 4>of like the so called SaaS apocalypse and that people.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>We saw something buying there. A lot of people are

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 3>being turning up optimistic.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Talk about as I can say, just twiska decoproprium.

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>You can say, what, wow, that's oppressive.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Apparently I can't. Boy do I feel like it's Friday

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about ALTA. I thought like this was safe.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was it was supposed to be a safe bed.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Failtheen percent today it's actually a pretty big reaction. The

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 3>company offered guidance for the current year that was toward

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 3>the lower end of what anlysts we're expecting. Alists we're

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 3>expecting about three points half percent, and their range is

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 3>a little bit lower than that. But neverthless, we're seeing

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>a massive reaction. But that company has been on a tier.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 3>The company has doubled over the past year, so perhaps

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 3>we're seeing part of the reaction is coming from that

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 3>that says, Udha has been doing okay. They've been expanding

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 3>in many regions. They offer a lot of products that

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 3>are from high end, low income and you know people

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>love their skin care of teens, they keep buying. So

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>give you some positive.
