Speaker 1: or watch us live on YouTube.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: It's yet another day of data center deals.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a never ending story here,

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: and it continues to propel the stock market higher.

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what's happening here.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: The nazak up one point three percent, the SMP five

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 3: hundred up one point one percent. So we need to

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: bring Caroline Hide, our BTech co anchor, in to our

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: New York studios here to kind of walk us through

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: some of the big stories. And I guess let's start

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: on the one that became official, which is black Rocks

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: GIP buying aligned data centers.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: This is a forty billion dollar AI.

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: Bet, and to be fair, it's a lot more than Blackrock.

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 5: You've got Blackrock, but you've got MGX, which is Mamdala

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: AI investment company, part of that sovereign wealth fund focus

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 5: on AI. But you've got Microsoft in the mix, You've

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 5: got in video in the mix, You've got XAI in

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 5: the mix. Basically, anyone who likes financing data centers, or

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 5: needs access to data centers, or has some gpused to

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: put inside data centers seemingly wanted in on what was

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 5: the one hundred billion dollar get together pool of capital,

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: and this is their first chunk of change, forty billion

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: being committed to ALIGN data centers. It's over in Texas

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 5: and this was actually owned by mcquarie, a big Australian

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 5: infrastructure player, and they are now managing to sell off.

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 5: It's a huge campus you're thinking about operating in US

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: and indeed in South America Aligned they've got fifty campuses,

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: They've got seventy eight data centers.

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: But all of this is as we seem to have.

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 5: Insatiable demand for compute and therefore values go skyrocketing.

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 6: So your tech beek Caroline is always front center for

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 6: this market. It's even more so, certainly the last two

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 6: years with AI. It's even worse in the last two

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 6: weeks with a lot of these.

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 7: Circular deals that have been referred to circular.

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 6: Where people are investing in each other's companies and things

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 6: like that, and the dollar amounts are so huge. Are

43
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 6: your sources are they saying this feels a little frothy?

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 7: What are your sources help?

45
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are starting to put

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 5: the word bubble in the context of AI in infrastructure

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: right now. Look, you even have the CFO of City

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 5: Group yesterday talking about his anxiety when it comes to

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: potential frothiness in the AI market. You've had the global

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 5: certain manager's survey coming from Bank of America yesterday more

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: the most we've ever seen in terms of majority thinking

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 5: that these AI players are too highly valued. So certainly

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 5: the circularityuse people pause. We had a great fan manager

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 5: on just yesterday really saying, look, even though they think

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: in video is a bit even though today HSBC has

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 5: raised the price target on video to maybe putting this

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: at an eight trillion dollar company in the next twelve months,

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: but people do have pause when they're putting one hundred

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 5: billion dollars in equity investment into open Ai, basically so

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 5: that open ai can keep buying its own GPUs. You

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 5: see that happening over in Europe. Another key player that

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: we've got to keep an eye on is end Scale.

63
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 5: Letters is currently a private AI data center builder Outer

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: I might add they've never built one single AI data center.

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: But they were a cryptomnor that's pivoted and now they're

66
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 5: committing to doing four data center projects with Microsoft. But

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: n Scale of course got the tap the anointment from

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: Jensen when he went over to London saying I want

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 5: to back you in my equity because guess what, two

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 5: thousand GPUs are going to be offered in those.

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: Four projects to Microsoft.

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 5: So it just keeps on being this idea that ultimately

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: where are we getting the money from at the moment,

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: build it and they will come. Is a mentality we

75
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: need the infrastructure before you can really get the productivity games.

76
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: So in videos putting its cash to work.

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So circular funding and yet another example of that.

78
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: So what I'm confused about is how some companies that

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: had indicated things would be kind of rough just a

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: few months ago had now turned around and are seeing

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: a completely different tune. ASML, which is a Dutch semiconductor

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: equipment maker, had warned that the the trade war the

83
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: terraf Sun China was going to be hurtful towards business.

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: Now it's completely like turn around and said, you know

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: what demands great.

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: Maybe they'll be able to eke out growth in twenty

87
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: twenty six. I think it's also our expectations for ASML

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: came down some. If you're looking at a quarter on

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: quarter basis, the sales and the bookings fell, it's because

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: China is so outsized in their revenue stream, and China's

91
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: going to start dialing back in twenty twenty six because

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: of the geopolitical issues and the fact that the US

93
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: is asking its neighbors and allies to stop allowing such

94
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: semiconductor equipment.

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: Into the nation.

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: And you just had the House China Committee saying once again,

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 5: we're worried about ASML, but also KLA and some of

98
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 5: the other US players. So I think that we are seeing, yes,

99
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 5: ASML managing to calm anxiety, that they will still see

100
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: growth from other pockets for these euv This is extreme

101
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 5: ultra violet lithography.

102
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: They're the only people that make.

103
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 5: This particular sophisticated equipment that is making your leading edge

104
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: chips that are going to be fueling our AI consumption.

105
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: So if they're the only player, well they've got really

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: it's sort of an built in demand pool. But China

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 5: is going to be diving back, and the market wanted

108
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: to hear that others were going to step in, and

109
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 5: it seems as though they are going to.

110
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 7: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming up after this.

Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, or watch us live on YouTube.

115
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: LBMA shares are higher right now after a surprise return

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: to sales growth. So maybe that is leading to folks

117
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: saying perhaps the downturn we saw in luxury is over.

118
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: Let's get some perspective from Debrah Aikn.

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: She has Bloomberg Intelligence Luxury Goods analyst deb Good to

120
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 3: speak with you. What are you thinking when it comes

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: to LVMH's results on what it signals about whether luxury

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: is back.

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 8: Hike? Yeah, so really a very big sentiment indicator. The

124
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 8: comments from the company late last night out of Paris

125
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 8: were more positive than the market anticipated. When we look

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 8: at the numbers in terms of the organic sales growth,

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 8: the market expected around minus one. We came in a

128
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 8: plus one. But it's about the sequential improvement from Q

129
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 8: two to Q three and the fact that all five

130
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 8: of the business units are improved versus Q two and

131
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 8: more than that. China is mid to high single digit

132
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 8: growth versus a year ago.

133
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: The US is robust.

134
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 8: Europe is doing the same as it did across the board,

135
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 8: doing okay but missing out on tourism and Asia. Extrapan

136
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 8: is positive. We know four q US will face a

137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 8: bit more of a difficult comp after they spent in

138
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 8: last year beyond the election and the Trump win. But

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 8: into the first half of twenty twenty six, the market

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 8: is looking more positive and it's certainly rallied the whole

141
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 8: of the second This morning and this afternoon.

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 6: Hey, dev, what's the correlation between luxury spending and just

143
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 6: kind of the broader stock market around the world. Because

144
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 6: markets are really performing well, how does that correlate to

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 6: just luxury spending?

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 9: You know?

147
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 8: The big thing, The big thing on luxury spend has

148
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 8: been that the very high end has done well. So

149
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 8: EMMS Brunella Cucinelli, where they work with a restricted volume

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 8: operating model, they've done well in terms of their top

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 8: line growth. But when I think about an LVMH, you

152
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 8: know they're given how big they are, they need a

153
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 8: big volume there. Even with some price in to manage

154
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 8: growth in this category, and instead what we saw last

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 8: year and the beginning of this year was maybe a

156
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 8: little bit of trading down. So brands like Tapestry's Coach

157
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 8: Ralph Lauren, they became really so popular, not only in

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 8: the US, but more on a globalized basis too. And

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 8: so the view has been that the sentiment around the

160
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 8: share prices has very much been opposed and opposite to

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 8: what's been happening on the stock market. But with the

162
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 8: exception of the mid range and the mid range have

163
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 8: done better because the view in the investor mindset has

164
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 8: been that the luxury buyer will trade down. They've done

165
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 8: that in some brands, but not all brands, in some categories,

166
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 8: not all categories, and generally we expect the biggest and

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 8: the best to come back first.

168
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: What about LVMH's wines and spirits division. We've been hearing

169
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: from Constellation Brands and other spirits companies that you know,

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: there's been this massive shift in consumer tastes away from alcohol,

171
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: certainly the younger generation. Does that affect a company like LVMH.

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 8: So a different kind of thing with LVMH. I think

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 8: at the very high end we had some US weakness,

174
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 8: so they operate in wines, fine mine, high end champagnes, cognacs,

175
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 8: and others. Champagne is doing well and is back to

176
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 8: growth in the US. Rose wine is doing very very well,

177
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 8: but some of the spirit side is still struggling a

178
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 8: little bit, and I think that's because we've seen some

179
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 8: trading down. So we had China very heavily stocked and

180
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 8: the US not so solid through the first half the year.

181
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 8: But there are signs of that coming back. If I

182
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 8: look at the numbers on the Q three for wines

183
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 8: and spirits, they're at plus one and they were at

184
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 8: minus four for Q two and minus nine for Q one,

185
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 8: So it seems as though inventory is leveled out and

186
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 8: we're starting to see some selling.

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 6: Deba I learned from you long ago, and looking at luxury,

188
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: you have to also pay attention to what's happening in

189
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 6: China and the Chinese consumer. Are the Chinese spending either

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 6: in China or are they traveling to the London Parish,

191
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 6: New York Milan type thing?

192
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 7: What are you seeing?

193
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, still we're seeing a lot of the spend. We're

194
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 8: getting mid thigh single digit growth in that Q three

195
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 8: from Alvia Maitia on your is on localized spending. We

196
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 8: are seeing pockets of growth on the tourism side, so

197
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 8: there is a more positive view and mixed linked into

198
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 8: the commentary from these results, but overall we are still

199
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 8: absolutely missing Asian tourist, Chinese tourists from Europe, and also

200
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 8: in Europe, we're missing the strength of the dollar having

201
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 8: swung over last year with US purchases here and you

202
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 8: are seeing some but not as many in terms of

203
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 8: full recovery versus twenty nineteen. There's growth year on year,

204
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 8: but not versus twenty nineteen into the USI. But when

205
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 8: it comes to the Chinese tourists, we used to say

206
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 8: a third of luxury goods just over we're on the work.

207
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 8: We're from the Chinese cohort, and that would include on

208
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 8: land and traveling right and we still think there's a

209
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 8: way for that to go, but certainly on land and

210
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 8: locally they're doing better than they were.

211
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 7: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming up after this.

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: the deal making taking place, with the banks reporting these

218
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: incredible numbers, a lot of companies saying they may go private.

219
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 2: We're hearing a lot of speculation about that.

220
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: The latest is Grinder, and in this case, the dating

221
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: app has confirmed that it received a letter from its

222
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: largest shareholders interested in exploring a take private transaction. So

223
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: let's bring in our Bloomberg Intelligence Internet analysts, software and

224
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: Internet analysts with us, Nicole Desuza to give us a

225
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: little bit more here. So, Nicole, Grind, this dating app

226
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: that's focused on the LGBT community, does not actually have

227
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: a proposal to evaluate. It's just telling everyone, Hey, this

228
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: is happening, and there's percolations of this happening.

229
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 9: Correct.

230
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 10: So, as of right now, what we know what's been

231
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 10: reported is there are two investors, Raymond's Age and James

232
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 10: lou who together control about sixty percent of Grinder. They

233
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 10: are in talks with Fortress Investment Group to secure debt

234
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 10: financing to take the company private. There has been no

235
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 10: direct proposal at this time, but discussions seem to be

236
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 10: around a fifteen dollars share price, which would value Grinder

237
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 10: at around three billion dollars.

238
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 6: Talk to us about this company. How has it performed

239
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 6: as a publicly traded company.

240
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 10: So you're to date this shares are down around twenty

241
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 10: nine percent. That being said, Grinder is one of the

242
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 10: few dating apps that is still growing paying users, so

243
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 10: we've seen so.

244
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 7: They're growing, They're still growing users.

245
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 10: Yes, okay, and that at this point right now is

246
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 10: a little bit rare for dating apps. Right We've seen

247
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 10: Tender lose users, We've seen bumble looos lot of users. Grinder,

248
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 10: because of their niche user base, has been able to

249
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 10: hang on to a good amount of their users and

250
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 10: grow users every year.

251
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: What is their strategy going forward?

252
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: Because they did read something about how they have this

253
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: three year plan where they're targeting some pretty aggressive growth

254
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: and the fact that they're growing users is a good sign.

255
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: But the dating app business doesn't seem to be that

256
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: great right now.

257
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: Yes, So they have.

258
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 10: A couple of different levers that they can pull. The

259
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 10: first one is raising prices. They've talked for the first

260
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 10: time about raising prices. They haven't raised prices since twenty eighteen,

261
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 10: so they're looking now at potentially raising prices introducing a

262
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 10: new premium tier. Right now, they get around twenty four

263
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 10: dollars per paying user, so there is a little bit

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 10: of room for growth. They only have about eight percent

265
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 10: of their total user base of fifteen million users who

266
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 10: actually pay for the app, so there is room there.

267
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 10: They're also growing advertising revenue. Grinder is one of the

268
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 10: few dating apps that does have a pretty solid ad platform.

269
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 10: They grew AD revenue around forty percent last quarter, which

270
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 10: was a big step up. Expect that to continue. They're

271
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 10: looking at new ad units, they're looking at better targeting,

272
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 10: so we do think there are there's a room for

273
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 10: ad revenue to really grow from here.

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 6: I mean, so you step back for the digital ad story,

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 6: it's still a very bullish story for digital advertising. I

276
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 6: mean there's still that big macro call of digital advertising.

277
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 6: Whether it's a big ones like Facebook or the smaller

278
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 6: ones like grind. You're taking dollars away from traditional analog media.

279
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 6: Is that story still in play and if so, how

280
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 6: long do you think it goes for?

281
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 10: I think it is still in play. I mean, we

282
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 10: do still see some ad dollars going to more traditional sources.

283
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 10: So you know, obviously, digital advertising is much better targeting.

284
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 10: You can do things like direct response advertising where users

285
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 10: are taken directly to a website to make a purchase.

286
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: It's a good use of ad.

287
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 10: Dollars for companies. Grinder has a really unique user base.

288
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 10: Their user base is more affluent, they have higher discression

289
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 10: or income, they tend to be higher educated. So it

290
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 10: could be a really great platform for a lot of

291
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 10: advertisers who are looking to advertise to that base.

292
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: Also, gen Z pretty heavy as well, so talk a

293
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: little bit about how that is very appealing to advertisers.

294
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

295
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 10: So, actually it's funny because Grinder is one of the

296
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 10: only dating apps really who isn't necessarily seeing an issue

297
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 10: attracting gen Z users. They've talked a lot about how

298
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 10: the issues that other dating apps are facing they don't

299
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 10: really face because it's such a unique user base and

300
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 10: because people come to Grinder not just for romantic connection

301
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 10: but also just to meet people, to make friends, to

302
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 10: have a community. So Grinder has done a great job

303
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 10: of attracting these users of holding on to them, and

304
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 10: again it could be a great place for advertisers to reach.

305
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 6: Gen Z thirty seconds stuff and why was this stock

306
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 6: down or is down forty some unpercented, so they have they.

307
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 10: Have missed on a few revenue metrics. They were a

308
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 10: little bit light on revenue last quarter, a little bit

309
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 10: light on ebita.

310
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: But again we think, you know.

311
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 10: The long term growth perspective for this company is really strong.

312
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 10: They have been growing users, which is unique for dating apps.

313
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 10: So we're very comfortable with the twenty to twenty five

314
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 10: percent revenue growth through twenty twenty seven.

320
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: You know, for all the talk of all these companies

321
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: involved in AI deals circular deals where they're teaming up

322
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: with someone and they're buying something or investing in somebody

323
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: and partnering with something to buy their own chips back,

324
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: one company is noticeably absent from all these announcements, and

325
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: that is a big one.

326
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: It's Apple. Yeah, where is it?

327
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 9: I don't know.

328
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 7: They have a lot of cash, they do, I don't know.

329
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 7: I don't know their AI play. That's what I don't know.

330
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: Well, their AI doesn't work very well on their phone.

331
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: Right now, I can tell you that An A. Grana

332
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: is a tech analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence and he joins

333
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: US now from Chicago, So An Rag. There are some

334
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: headlines here that Apple is looking to beef up its

335
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 3: smart home offerings lesson its dependence on China. This is

336
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: something that the President of the United States has been

337
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: pushing Apple to do, to bring some of it's manufacturing

338
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: back to the US. But Apple's not doing that. It

339
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: is beefing up its manufacturing operations in Vietnam. What's going

340
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: on with Apple?

341
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 9: See, when you look at it, whether it's accessories or

342
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 9: you know, putting together the phones, you really cannot do

343
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 9: that in the US. We don't have the size, factories

344
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 9: or automation to do that. So you will have to

345
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 9: do that somewhere in Asia. And as they're diversifying away

346
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 9: from China because of the obvious threat between US and

347
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 9: in China trade wars, Vietnam is a proper location where

348
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 9: they can assemble let's say, some accessories or smaller products

349
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 9: where you know they may cost you one hundred dollars

350
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 9: or fifty dollars, but they have the low cost area

351
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 9: to produce them or I would say assemble them.

352
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 6: So an Uraga, We've spent the last two three four

353
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 6: weeks speaking with you, speaking with man Deep, speaking with

354
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: other tech experts about all these deals around the AI

355
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 6: ecosystem that we've seen ten billion dollars here, one hundred

356
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 6: billion dollars there companies ranging from Microsoft to AMD to

357
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 6: Nvidio to open Ai. We have not talked about Apple

358
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 6: what is and I'm not sure if that's a good

359
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 6: or bad thing. I don't know if these deals are

360
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 6: good or bad. I just know there a lot of them.

361
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 6: They're coming out of the woodwork. There's big numbers, and

362
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 6: Apple's just conspicuous by its absence. It feels like, how

363
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 6: do you think about it?

364
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, you could look at it both ways.

365
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 9: One way is you criticize that they're not really at

366
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 9: the forefront of the next generation model out there. But

367
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 9: the other way you can say is, you know, let

368
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 9: everybody else fight it out. In the end, it will

369
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 9: go to the one that has the best model and

370
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 9: include that in there. Its own distribution channel, which is

371
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 9: basically iOS. We have heard from Olkham and has done

372
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 9: some really good work on this particular aspect of it.

373
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 9: Is the next the next version of CD may have

374
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 9: technology from some of the third body providers, you know,

375
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 9: whether that's Open AI and Tropic or even Gemini. You know,

376
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 9: our bet is that, you know, we hope that they

377
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 9: go with Gemini because they already get a lot of

378
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 9: money from Google for the search business. Maybe there is

379
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 9: some revenue stating on that part as well, So we

380
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 9: think eventually, we don't know when they will get it

381
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 9: right when it comes to AI infusing in their product,

382
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 9: but it's going to come with some third party rather

383
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 9: than in house AI.

384
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: So in other words, they're kind of waiting for the

385
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: dust to settle, waiting for winners to emerge before picking

386
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: their horse and riding it. Is that something other device makers,

387
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: handset makers are doing as well. I mean, Alphabet doesn't

388
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: have to do that because it has its own AI

389
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: business and it makes handsets.

390
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's very well integrated because it's the Google Gemini,

391
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 9: it's part of Android and then you know Samsung is

392
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 9: going to license that. So they are all set on

393
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 9: that particular aspect of it. But it's possible that Apple

394
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 9: may choose to work with Gemini, Google itself again get

395
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 9: their technology, infuse it in their products, and you and

396
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 9: I get the same experience we would get, you know,

397
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 9: on on on, like for example, using chat GPD or anthropic.

398
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 9: I think from what we have heard from Marc is

399
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 9: the research right now is they are running parallel chat

400
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 9: pots internally try to see which one has a better output.

401
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 9: And eventually we know with Apple it's going to go

402
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 9: with the one the highest quality of searches or queries

403
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 9: or answers, and and you know, let's let's hope that

404
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 9: they get it around in the March timeframe that it's

405
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 9: rumored to come out.

406
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: Earnings for the tech companies are going to be in

407
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks. Here what should we be focusing

408
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 6: on this quarter?

409
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 9: On a rug, so we we're bifurcating the entire tech

410
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 9: space into two buckets. One is area where we are

411
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 9: going to see some weakness. That's going to be more

412
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 9: on the consulting side, more on your traditional software side.

413
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 9: And on the second half of the equation is companies

414
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 9: that will see an uplift in their revenue because of

415
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 9: AI related investment. So Cove and Microsoft fall in that bucket.

416
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 9: But on the other side, you know you're going to

417
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 9: see some struggle with let's say IBM consulting, although IBM

418
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 9: software should do well, and that is the bifurcation that

419
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 9: we have. What is going to be most important for Microsoft,

420
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 9: for example, is all the headline news that we are

421
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 9: hearing about lower capacity or some constraints in data center work.

422
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 9: Whether that's going to have an impact on Azure guidance

423
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 9: or their cloud revenue guidance for next quarter. That is

424
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 9: going to be the biggest question for going into the

425
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 9: quarter for Microsoft.

426
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: Which of the names have the potential to surprise most

427
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: to the upside given what you've seen so far in

428
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: terms of estimates, I.

429
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 9: Think Core Weve has one potential. But at the same time,

430
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 9: you know, this stock moves so much on a daily

431
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 9: basis with any new announcement that comes out, so it's

432
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 9: tough to say with a lot of that optimism is

433
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 9: probably baked into the numbers at this point.

434
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 6: So what's the big thing that you guys are working on.

435
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 6: I've referred so many people to the Bloomberg Intelligence Technology

436
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 6: Teams AI report here, which really is definitive. I think

437
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 6: and kind of laying out for people what AI is

438
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 6: and you know, what are all the facets of it here,

439
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 6: what's the next level of analysis for you guys in

440
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Intelligence Technology.

441
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 9: So the biggest thing we are trying to hone in

442
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 9: and bifocate this investment cycle that you mentioned, you know,

443
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 9: during the initial remarks. There are two aspects of it.

444
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 9: One is everything that open ai is leading. It's signing

445
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 9: contracts with Nvidia, Oracle, AMD and so forth. Now at

446
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 9: this time open ai doesn't have the money to fund

447
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 9: a lot of that stuff. They have enough financial backouds

448
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 9: to take care of it, so, you know, let's so

449
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 9: that's one area to focus on. The second part is

450
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 9: companies like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, they are going out and

451
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 9: building capacity or signing up deals for data centers and

452
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 9: new chips. Now they have the cash to do it.

453
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 9: So we are trying to figure out and these cases

454
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 9: to see both of these scenartives, to see which ones

455
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 9: of them will have a greater impact on the downstream ecosystem,

456
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 9: you know, whether it's hardware providers or chip providers or

457
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 9: for that matter, data center providers as well.

458
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast available on Apple, Spotify,
