6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to Disney. I'm told the

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: market can't make up its mind. I'm interested to see

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: what the experts think we got, Paul. Let's get Keitha

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: either wrong Nathan Boomberg, Intelligence, Senior analyst on US Media.

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: All right, Keitha, what was your biggest takeaway here from Disney?

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 4: Really solid quarter for them, Alex and this is a

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 4: really strong start for them for fiscal twenty twenty five.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 4: So you know, the big numbers, of course that we

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: constantly look for when Disney reports is how did it

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 4: do on the streaming subscriber front? And we did expect

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: them to lose a good amount of subscribers, just kind

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: of given the price increases that went in effect date

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: last year, almost fifteen to twenty five percent price increases,

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: but churn was very very limited, so came in much

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 4: better than they had expected, than we had expected. And

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: then again the parks numbers. Now, remember, you know we

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: have been seeing some demand moderation at the parks, but

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: they actually again held up better than expected. So all

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 4: of those you know, you put all of that together,

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 4: including streaming profits, you had over a forty percent increase

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: in adjusted EPs. So financially, I think the company is

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: off on a solid footing and off to a very

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: good start for twenty twenty five.

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 5: What could be a less than positive view of this

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 5: quarter here because I'm seeing the stock kind of all

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 5: over the place, gith it teams like maybe the market

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: can't really decide, So what are some of the concerns

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 5: out there? Maybe from this quarter?

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: I think what was slightly disappointing, Paul, is that they

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: didn't raise guidance. So you know, they did deliver forty

36
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: percent increase in EPs, but they're still talking about fullier

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: EPs only growing in the high single digits. I think

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: that's where maybe the market is slightly disappointed again with

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: the parks, also, they didn't necessarily raise guidance. And remember

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: with the parks, there is a little bit of concern

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: about what competition can potentially do when a new theme

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: park from Comcast NBC Epic Universe opens this May, and

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: there's still like, you know, really conflicting views about this,

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: although management seems to think that it's actually it's kind

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: of this rising tide that lifts all boats, so they've

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: downplayed it, but I think there is still some concern

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: about that. And then the other big thing that you know,

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: everyone's kind of looking at or waiting for, is the

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: launch of what they call Flagship ESPN, which is the

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: first time that ESPN, the full blown product will be

51
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: available without a PATV subscription. So that's going to happen

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: sometime in the fall of this year, and so again

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: there are going to be some launch casts where that

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: product prices, what the subscriber outlook will be, so a

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: little bit of uncertainty there as well. But overall, really

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: really strong results and.

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: The streaming operation in Film Studio look me in like

58
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: a thirty percent thirty one percent gain and operating income.

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: For the quarter. Was that really driven by price hikes

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: for streaming.

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 4: For streaming, yes, it was a lot of it was

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 4: driven by you know, we saw really solid our pool growth.

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 4: What we're going to continue to see Alex through the

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: rest of the quarters is what you know, exactly what

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: Netflix did. You know, Disney's kind of taking a page

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: out of that Netflix playbook with what they call page

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 4: sharing or cracking down on passwords sharing, and so we're

68
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: going to see that kind of really ramp up in

69
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: terms of the streaming profitability numbers. And then you pointed to,

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: you know, content, the box office has absolutely had a

71
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: marvelous run kind of reversing so many of you know,

72
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 4: the misfires that we had in earlier years, and they're

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: going to continue to build on that. And as some

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: of those movies come on to the streaming platform again,

75
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: they expect that to drive subscriber growth as well.

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: So, Keith, what's the market thinking about profitability for streaming

77
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: at Disney? We kind of you look at the Netflix

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 5: margins and is there a belief that this isn't can

79
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: at least get approached. The Netflix profitabiliting absolutely, I think so.

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be immediate though, Paul.

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: I mean for this year they are guiding to about

82
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: a billion dollars in profit. They did say that they

83
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: will get to double digit margins in fiscal twenty twenty six. Now,

84
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: remember Netflix is already close to thirty percent margins. So

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: you know, you still do have that big delta ten

86
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: percent versus thirty percent. But I think that's where all

87
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: of the upside really is with Disney. I mean, this

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: is a complex story with many many different moving parts,

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: but streaming is obviously one of the you know, huge

90
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: positive catalysts and I think we're going to see that

91
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: streaming profitability continue to build, especially as they have a

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: lot of pricing power and all of these other different initiatives.

93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: And remember, for them, as opposed to Netflix, one area

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: where Disney is better than Netflix is advertising. They've got

95
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: all of those different you know, all of the plumbing

96
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: is in place. They are the biggest digital advertiser right

97
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: now out there in the market. They make even more

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: in connected TV advertising than YouTube does, so you know,

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 4: they obviously have you know, an advantage of first moved advantage,

100
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: I would say with respect advertising.

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so you mentioned how that flagship ESPN.

102
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 6: Area will do.

103
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: What's your biggest question now going forward?

104
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: Yes, it's really going to be how exactly. So again

105
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: with with ESPN, we have a little bit of you know,

106
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: questions in terms of where exactly the subscribers will trend

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: for that product. A lot of it I think will

108
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: depend on where the product prices. So that's a little

109
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: bit of a wait and watch story. And then with parks,

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: you know, yes, we do have confidence that they do

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: have a lot of positive levers. We know that, you know,

112
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: the international parks are performing extremely well. Cruise lines is

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: something that they're really expanding into. And if you just

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: kind of look at the cruise line trajectory, I mean,

115
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: this was a two billion dollar revenue business in twenty

116
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: twenty four. We think this will potentially get to about

117
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: ten billion dollars by you know, twenty thirty. And at

118
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: that point, Paul, you know, we think it could make

119
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: well over three four billion dollars in ibade, which means

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 4: it's bigger than ESPN at that point. So, you know,

121
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: cruises is going to be a big portion of their

122
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: park story. So I think the diversification you know, story

123
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: is playing out really well for them with barks. But

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: again there's a little bit of weight and watch. I

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: think twenty twenty five is still a little bit of

126
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: a transition year for them.

127
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: All right, Githa, let's back up. We you know, I

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: think there's a fair level of confidence in the Disney

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: story how about some of the other companies.

130
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 7: I think about.

131
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 5: Warner Brothers Discovery, I think about Paramount. What are companies

132
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: like that do this in this world? How do you

133
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 5: think that plays out?

134
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think for Warner Brothers Discovery, Paul, I

135
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: think there is still going to be a lot of

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: focus on how the TV business is going to perform. Ironically,

137
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: I think this year TV is actually in good shape.

138
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: I mean why I say ironically is because they actually

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: lost the rights to the NBA, and so everybody was

140
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: kind of very, very fearful of how exactly, you know,

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: Ibadah was going to be, how affiliate revenue was going

142
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: to be for this year. But they actually got two

143
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: huge deals in place, one with Comcasts, the other one

144
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 4: with Charter, which basically kept their affiliate fees flat. So

145
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: the revenue trajectory looks decent. I would say for Warner

146
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: Brothers Discovery, I think the problem really for them is

147
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: going out, you know, into the future, and what they

148
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: decide to do. Is consolidation going to be a big thing.

149
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: It could be a big thing for them. I mean,

150
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: we already know that Comcast is kind of spun out.

151
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: It's cable networks. We don't know if Warner Brothers is

152
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: kind of going to follow suit and you know, maybe

153
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: do some kind of transaction with Comcast. So that's a

154
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: little bit of a wait and watch. And again with

155
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: Paramount again, we're kind of in limbo here because we

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: really don't know what sky Dance is going to do

157
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: in terms of strategy for the new company. I mean,

158
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: they're already facing some regulatory hurdles, but assuming the transaction

159
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: goes through, we really have to kind of wait and

160
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: see exactly what sky Dance wants to do with the

161
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: assets again, whether they're going to let go of some

162
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: of those linear TV assets, what their real trust is

163
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: going to be.

164
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Thank you so much. Gita really appreciated best analysis.

176
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: daughter still loved Mowana to and Mohana had a sister

177
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Mowana too, so cute, so that worked.

178
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 8: Did you miss Tom singing the Moana song this morning?

179
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: I did. That's sad for you. It's good for you.

180
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: That's all right, because I was to like this song.

181
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: I was also singing one of the Little mermaid songs

182
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: and break, so we can all have a Disney sing fest.

183
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: All right.

184
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: Back to the markets and the question marks, the question

185
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: marks right now, coming very much from DC. I want

186
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: to get more intake right now with Henry de Tris,

187
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Managing partner and director of Economic Policy at Beta Partner.

188
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: She joins us from Louisiana. Henritta, Last time we talked,

189
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: you said you're going to be looking for signals from

190
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: what happens to Trump's cabinet nominees. Who protests, who doesn't?

191
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: Do they sail through? To me, everyone's sailing through. So

192
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: what does that tell you?

193
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

194
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it tells me quite a few things actually, which

195
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 7: is really helpful and constructive. Number One the Senate Majority

196
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 7: Leader John Dune does not want to hear Trump reiterate

197
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 7: his calls for recess appointments, which takes quite a bit

198
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 7: of power away from the United States Senate to advising consent,

199
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 7: which they take very seriously.

200
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 6: So they're picking and choosing their battles.

201
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 7: And why is that Because we have a massive legislative

202
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 7: agenda heading their way and they want to be able

203
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 7: to override the House Republican leadership. So this comes into

204
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 7: play with a one or two reconciliation bill strategy, and

205
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 7: as of this afternoon, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsay Graham

206
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 7: is going to start exerting his power to run over

207
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 7: the better legislative agenda intuitions of the House Republican leadership.

208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 7: So this to me signals that the Senate's trying to

209
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 7: keep Trump happy knowing that they're about to run rough

210
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 7: shot over the House, which is very normal, and that

211
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 7: they also want to avoid the idea of recess appointment

212
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 7: constructive guidance coming from just their actions here.

213
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: All right, from the White House. Henriette Tariff's on Tariff's off,

214
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: Tariff's delayed, is there? What's the sense in Washington, DC

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: about what the strategy is maybe a President Trump administration.

216
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 7: I think a lot of members are sort of not

217
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: even bothering to pretend that they know strategy, but are

218
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 7: instead giving us also really important context clues about what

219
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 7: they're expecting to factor in from tariff revenue on the

220
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 7: next tax bill or the next immigration, military spending.

221
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 6: Energy package.

222
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 7: They are factoring in some level of revenue from tariffs,

223
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 7: and the estimates are anywhere between seven hundred billion and

224
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 7: one trillion dollars. So it's not really a question of

225
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 7: how the President goes about landing on putting tariffs in place.

226
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 7: There's obviously been fits and starts, thirty day delays with Canada, Mexico.

227
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 6: Maybe there will be a phone call with President she

228
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: and China. But they're really more.

229
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 7: Giving us the valuable guidance that they are going to

230
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 7: be being tariffs in their revenue scores, which means that

231
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 7: they expect tariffs to go on. However the President decides

232
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 7: to impose them, so again instructive just in their directionality

233
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 7: of incorporating tariff revenue into their forecast.

234
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we were going to get that g

235
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: Trump call yesterday, So I don't know. I'll keep waiting

236
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: for that one. So actually, let's combine these two points then,

237
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: because if we do expect to see some form of

238
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: tariffs because of that revenue estimate that you talked about,

239
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: and we do see no one wanting to torpedo the

240
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: Trump agenda on their Republican side, does this mean that

241
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: the tax bill has a significant chance of getting through

242
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: and getting through quickly.

243
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 6: No, definitely not.

244
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 7: What's never reminds the Senate is about too, it's exactly

245
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 7: the opposite of that. I think the House Republican Conference

246
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: is effectively nowhere on a budget. They have a very

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 7: fractured conference and only one seat to spare in terms

248
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 7: of votes, so they don't have a path.

249
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 6: Forward on one big bill or maybe even two.

250
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 7: However, what the Senate is doing is they're trying to

251
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: give President Trump a legislative win, especially going into his

252
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 7: Joint Address to Congress on March fourth. They have an

253
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 7: ambitious online where they're going to try to get budget

254
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 7: reconciliation instructions done in February and early March. Tea up

255
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 7: actually writing the bill in April, but this would be

256
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 7: on the smaller immigration and military spend package the tax bill.

257
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: In my opinion has been consistent. It's not going to

258
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 6: pass until December.

259
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 7: We're talking about five trillion dollars worth of negotiations that

260
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 7: takes months, indeed almost a full year, and they've known

261
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 7: that this is coming since twenty seventeen when the tax

262
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 7: bill passed. So we still have a lot of work

263
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 7: to do, and in the intervening months we have to

264
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 7: deal with a government shutdown on March fourteenth, a debt

265
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 7: ceiling negotiation over the summer, another perspective, government shutdown September thirtieth.

266
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 7: There's a lot of opportunities for Democrats to throw wrenches

267
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 7: in the gears of the Republican legislative agenda, and to me,

268
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 7: that point's a pretty clear experienced picture that the tax

269
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 7: bill won't happen until December.

270
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 5: Henryette, I guess it's to be no surprise to observers

271
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: that President Trump sucks most of the air out of

272
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 5: the room most of the time. Are you surprised that

273
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 5: we don't hear more leadership from either congressional Republicans or Democrats.

274
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 7: I think that they have been out of session, to

275
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 7: be fair, and now that they are back in session,

276
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 7: they have to deal with things like Hey, are we

277
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 7: going to occupy Gaza. What's going on with DOJE, what's

278
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 7: going on with potentially the DOGE team being able to

279
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 7: access treasury payment systems. There's so much out there that

280
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 7: they're really just flying with it and negotiating behind the

281
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 7: scenes on those legislative agenda items. Especially on the Republican side.

282
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 7: I think Democrats have not found their footing at all.

283
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 7: I do see some opportunity for them to coalesce behind

284
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 7: that March fourteenth deadline for a government funding bill.

285
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 6: If they can come together with the appropriators.

286
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 7: And leadership and say we want one percent more in

287
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 7: federal spending in twenty five, we want aid to the

288
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 7: California wildfires, etc.

289
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 6: They can get in a cohesive place. But right now

290
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 6: they're just letting Trump.

291
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: Have the show.

292
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 3: So what is up with doche.

293
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 7: What's up with those That's a great question. I think

294
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 7: that is the question right now. They've implemented a number

295
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 7: of freezes and that is something that's obviously creating a

296
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,479
Speaker 7: lot of lawsuits, and two judges have stayed those actions.

297
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 7: They are going through and combing through the trade repayment systems.

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 7: There's reports that Elon Musk has been at the VA

299
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 7: going through some of those payment systems potentially, And the

300
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 7: question is, really, have they identified via their AI tech

301
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 7: savvy any duplicatus payments, any payments they.

302
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 6: Are going to people who are no longer with us?

303
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: You know?

304
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 7: Is there any kind of abnormalities? Those are the areas

305
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 7: where they're trying to find savings. And then obviously you

306
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 7: have that idea of cutting the overall federal employee base.

307
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 7: But all told, those are really small dollar amounts, less

308
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 7: than one percent of federal spending.

309
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 6: And by the things that.

310
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 7: I just listed a moment ago, aid to the wildfires,

311
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 7: aid to farmers, as we prepare for the trade wars.

312
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 6: Continued spending on the tax side.

313
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 7: And one percent increases in twenty twenty five, spending hundred

314
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 7: billion dollars in military spending. Whatever Dude is able to find,

315
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 7: Congress has already spent. So I'm not seeing a lot

316
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 7: in terms of functional deficit reduction or spending cuts that

317
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 7: will offset what Congress will do.

318
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: Okay, Henriette, thank you so much for that great synopsis.

319

Speaker 3: Our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio.

336
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: Lisa, let's talk about that. I mean, it looks like

337
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: rates are coming down, but maybe not as fast as

338
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: people like.

339
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 8: How's that impact?

340
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: I think just commercial real estate probably defined what are

341
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 5: you seeing out through with your clients?

342
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 8: What a great segue. Thank you for having me. So

343
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 8: it's exactly the perfect way to start talking about this

344
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 8: is that with interest rates being where they are and

345
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 8: the unknown of what's going to happen going forward, we're

346
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 8: sort of at a standstill and valuation however, the activity

347
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 8: in real estate for twenty twenty four was up, and

348
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 8: we do predict twenty twenty five having a lot more

349
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 8: trading people going back and forth and trying to figure

350
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 8: out some deal flow, which means that valuations have to come,

351
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 8: which is tied to interest rates. It's not going to

352
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 8: get back up to where we were in twenty seventeen.

353
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 8: But I think everyone's really optimistic for twenty twenty five

354
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 8: that there is going to be some things happening in there.

355
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 8: When we talk about interest rates, and you know, we

356
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 8: just heard from Mike McKee where the settling is and

357
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 8: what the Feds are doing, it's interesting. Once rates are

358
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 8: still low for the people who have existing mortgages and things,

359
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 8: it's not going to make us able to go out

360
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 8: and sell our houses because we still have very low

361
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 8: interest rates, and so all of that is going to

362
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 8: affect you know, multi family home buyers, it's going to

363
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 8: affect office to trickle through the rest of all the

364
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 8: sectors of real estate. So, yes, you're right, it's a

365
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 8: great segue into real estate is where we are on

366
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 8: interest rates, and that's the big unknown and waiting and

367
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 8: seeing with the inflation being where it is and the

368
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 8: economy doing well, it's a wait and see approach.

369
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just how quickly like we've rerated really like

370
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: we're looking at just over like forty basis points of

371
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: couz priced into world imply probability. Morgan Stanley sees just

372
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: one cut now in June, round than two in March

373
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: and June.

374
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: How quickly does that feed through to like prices?

375
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 8: It actually feeds through quicker than it's even announced. It's

376
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 8: almost like people know before and anticipate it. So the

377
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 8: valuation is already baked into it, and so it feeds

378
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 8: in immediately. And so when you think that FEDS are

379
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 8: going to announce it and things are going to move drastically,

380
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 8: it's already moved once the anticipation is there, and what

381
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 8: they think are going to do, what they think is

382
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 8: going to happen with those rates.

383
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 5: You know, office work, Yeah, are there any what are

384
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: the trends here in office? I guess the first question

385
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: is does anybody going to call a bottom? Has anybody

386
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 5: called a bottom? Is anybody think about that?

387
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 8: Do you want me to make a prediction right here?

388
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 8: Should we do it?

389
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 4: Fun?

390
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 8: Okay? So prediction that I heard was twenty twenty six

391
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 8: New York city is going to have a shortage of

392
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 8: office available, a shortage because there's been a lot less construction.

393
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 8: We do have some conversions, not a lot, but there

394
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 8: will be some conversions to residential. The trophy buildings are occupied,

395
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 8: which is going to help the a's and b's and

396
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 8: so you know, we know that tech is back, is

397
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 8: going back to work. We've heard those announcements today. This

398
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 8: place is the busiest it's been I think in a

399
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 8: long time. And media has made announcement that they need

400
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 8: to start coming back to work. So with everybody making

401
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 8: those announcements of back to work, there's been less office

402
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 8: coming on the market in the last two years or

403
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 8: three years because of construction costs. And so prediction that

404
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 8: New York City, you want another prediction, Yeah, sure, don't

405
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 8: write off San Francisco yet. And why I know we're

406
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 8: very bleak on that. But seventy two cents of every

407
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 8: AI dollar is going into San Francisco. And so with

408
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 8: all the money going into something that because people their

409
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 8: work there, eighty three point two and I think that's

410
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 8: the right statistic. Somebody will write, oh, it's not of

411
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 8: the talent is in San Francisco based and so the

412
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 8: VC venture capital firms that are funding the AI are

413
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 8: mandating that they want to see the people and they

414
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 8: want that in office experience. And so if eighty three

415
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 8: point two percent of our talent is in the San

416
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 8: Francisco Bay Area who are funding and working on the AI,

417
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 8: we see where the future is and so maybe not

418
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 8: to write off San Francisco. So a little bit of optimism.

419
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 8: I think in office. We'll see in a year from

420
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 8: now how off I was, but we'll be optimistead have.

421
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 5: We've seen many transactions of note in New York City

422
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 5: that gives you a sense of where valuations are.

423
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's been a bunch of movement. I think there

424
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 8: was a fifty seventh Street there was a property that

425
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 8: just was acquired, and so people are moving and the

426
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 8: values are, strangely enough, they're holding up. And so the

427
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 8: whole thing is is the buyer and the seller is

428
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 8: willing to come up to where they think prices are.

429
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 8: And I think yesterday there was a large transaction that

430
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 8: just happened on fifty seventh Street, which is which is noteworthy.

431
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, definitely, what do you think the bottom

432
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: looks like?

433
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 8: I'm hoping we passed it. I think we're headed to

434
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 8: a really good direction from So, I.

435
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: Guess what the trajectory from now until twenty twenty six

436
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: does look like like?

437
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: Is it bumpy? Is it a straight lineup?

438
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: Is it a curve?

439
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 8: So everyone was hoping for a soft landing, and I

440
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 8: think we got the soft landing. And so when you're

441
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 8: looking for the future to where you know, people are

442
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 8: seeing where we're at, secondary markets are going to be

443
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 8: really really hot. So is the live work play environment

444
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 8: and that type of world. Now New York is live

445
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 8: work play, but look at the secondary markets that are

446
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 8: going to create that live work environment for them. And

447
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 8: so if you look at you know, we could go

448
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 8: into this another time, the history of the malls, but

449
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 8: that's really what was supposed to be created. It wasn't

450
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 8: supposed to be a mall with two anchors with seventy

451
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 8: acres of parking. It was supposed to be houses, hospitals, schooling,

452
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 8: you know, businesses created around the malls. That's what people

453
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 8: want and that's what we're going to start creating. And

454
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 8: so once we give people that sort of environment, I

455
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 8: think it's going to really really work. And then looking

456
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 8: at operational real estate data, centers. Yeah. Right, So there

457
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 8: is a lot of optimism out there in real estate

458
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 8: as to what we're looking forward and then just watching

459
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 8: interest rates really closely.

460
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 5: You know, I have to admit when I'm still surprised

461
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 5: every day I walk out on Lectionington Avenue that retail

462
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: space has not solved.

463
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: But they're doing it. It's now rented because that space

464
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: the gap used to be, but.

465
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: It still feels like there's so much unrented retail in

466
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: mid time men that and it really.

467
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: Surprised me and Upper West Side too.

468
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, but when you look at it that there was

469
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 8: so much more, and we know that retail was doing horribly,

470
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 8: you know, years ago, and it is making that comeback

471
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 8: of changing what's that retail experience for. I mean, I

472
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 8: know that we read the five five or four big

473
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 8: boxes that are closing stores, and so that scares everybody

474
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 8: a little. But again it's coming back to that live

475
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 8: work play and finding balance of what people want in

476
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 8: that area. This is still relatively commercial here, yeah, and

477
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 8: not as residential, so you're not really living where you're

478
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 8: working here, and so it'll be interesting to see and

479
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 8: without the bloomingills is still a very large anchor to

480
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 8: this area, so I think it's going to get least

481
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 8: up over time.

482
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to live where I work anyway.

483
