1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. Bloomberg Tech is live 2 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: from coast to coast with Caroline Hide in New York 3 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: and Vla low in sentrances go. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Tech coming up. 5 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 3: AI enthusiasm is back as AMD rallies on a blockbuster 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 3: Forcus and nvidiaoting's a deal with fiber maker Corning. Plus, 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: Disney posts stronger results than expected thanks to improve profitability 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: and its streaming business, and we speak with Uber's CFO 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: as the right hailing platform posts a second quarter outlook 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: that also beat expectations. 11 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: First, we return to these markets that are risk on look. 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: A lot of that has to do with geopolitics. There 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 3: is hope of a de escalation between Iran and the 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: United States. Could it's a deal be getting closer. The 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: market trades on that. Stocks rise higher, and indeed bon 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: yields pull back. We see a move in the dollar 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: two Oil on the down side means we're at one 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: point four percent on. 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: The nasat one hundred. 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: But there's a whole host of other news as to 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 3: why technology stocks are on top, and. 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: It comes from earnings and AI ambitions. 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 3: We've got AMD pumping up fifteen percent once again taking 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: the breath away from investors that not only are we 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: seeing GPU traction, but CPU is seemingly on fire, despite 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: of course also concerns about memory. We're still seeing growth 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: in that trajectory. And in Nvidia up four percent, managing 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: to play a bit of catch up after it's sold 29 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 3: off for the last few days. 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: But that's as they could do with Corning. 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 3: They could be buying up to five hundred million dollars 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 3: worth of shares and it's all about optical fibers. That's 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: all about the AI data center too. So as TALKI 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: infrastructure with a man who's been doing it for years 35 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: in Kings with us in first AMD Lisa Sou managing 36 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: to show that the total addressable from a market for 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: CPU in particular really on fire as well as GPUs. 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, now you're exactly right. 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 5: They put out earnings that were sort of pretty good, 40 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: not as maybe exciting as some had hoped and learn. 41 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: On the conference call, she gave a very bullish projection 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 5: for the CPU, which is one of their core parts, 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 5: part that's kind of been neglected in this AI race, 44 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 5: and said, look, things are really strong there and guess 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 5: what in this current quarter things are going to be 46 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 5: up seventy percent for that particular business, and that was 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: affirmation of what a lot of other companies have said. 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, how is she navigating some of the 49 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: issues that we've seen from a supply chain perspective, some 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: of the memory issue that of course hits the PC 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 3: side of the business. 52 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean she got a lot of questions on 53 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 5: the conference call exactly on that point, as you would imagine, 54 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 5: and her answer was like, look, we've seen this coming, 55 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 5: We've been working really hard. Guess what if you're a 56 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 5: memberships player, you want to be selling this extremely expensive 57 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 5: memory to me and to data center. So don't worry, 58 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: we can meet our forecast, was what she was essentially 59 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 5: assuring people. 60 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: Now, AMD managed to pay off and we are seeing 61 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: them ramp up sales. But when you compare like an 62 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 3: eleven billion dollar guidance for the Core to coming compared 63 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: to well seventy billion dollars we expect from the like 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: sort of an Nvidia, it's still a second versus the giant, 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: and the giant making news to day in what did 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: you think about the deal with coreing Corning And once 67 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: again is this cirt killar financing in some way or 68 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 3: just making sure that AI infrastructure can get built. 69 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 5: I think Jensen would explain it as you did at 70 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 5: the Milk and conference this week, is like, look, we 71 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 5: are going to go out. We're going to use our 72 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 5: money to remove or to do our best to remove 73 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 5: any possible bottle neck that's out there. And fiber is 74 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: a big potential bottle neck going forward. Speed of light 75 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 5: is as fast as you can transmit information. Traditional copper 76 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 5: is reaching its limits. Guess what we need to make 77 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 5: sure we have a lot of fiber optic connections out 78 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 5: there for our forthcoming chips to keep this whole thing going. 79 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: So he's obviously been putting his money to work in 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 5: that kind of company as. 81 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: Well, company based right here in New York State and 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: King We so appreciate you out on the West coast 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: for us. 84 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. Let's speak about more of all of this 85 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: streny perjury is. 86 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: With US Semiconductor and Semi's equipment and this obviously capital 87 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: your latest note, can you highlight how am d strong 88 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: CPU growth doubling of projections is that achievable? 89 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: What could Chow call that? 90 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: Well? 91 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 6: Right now? The demand is very strong, you know, Agent 92 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 6: Ki is the primary reason. But overall, AI capex has 93 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 6: been going up as well. And on top of that, 94 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 6: we're seeing strong demand on the enterprise you know, server 95 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 6: side as well. So I think in a part of 96 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 6: it is AI, part of it is in a traditional 97 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 6: server demand. Overall demand is very strong, and in addition 98 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 6: to that, you know, supply has been tight. Uh you know, 99 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 6: Intel talked about you know, not not having you know, 100 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 6: enough supply to you know, address the current demand. As 101 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 6: a result, you know, the visibility is extending, the backlog 102 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 6: is extending through the year, even into into next year. 103 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 6: But I think I think there's also the structural you know, 104 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 6: uh tailwind from you know, you know what we call 105 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 6: the CPU to GPU ratio. If you look at the 106 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 6: systems today in AI, typically it's one to four is 107 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 6: what we see. In some cases one too, but the 108 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 6: view is that that's going to go to one to one, 109 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 6: even you know, more than one to one. 110 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: So you know, that will be interesting to see. 111 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: Tiny for our audience talk through that step function. It's 112 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: all about agent KI, It's all about the need for inference, right. 113 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, look in training workloads. You know, historically 114 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 6: we have seen you know, a CPU to GPU ratio 115 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 6: of you know, one to four, even in some cases 116 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 6: one to eight. And as we move to influencing, that 117 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 6: is changing, primarily because of agentic AI. And of course 118 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 6: you need to run the models still on you know, 119 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 6: powerful GPUs, but to manage you know, because users are 120 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 6: creating so many agents, to manage these agents, and to 121 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 6: make sure that agents are you know, getting the appropriate 122 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 6: data and they're talking to you know, other APIs. You know, 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 6: CPUs you know, play a critical role. So we are 124 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 6: seeing again it's early days. It's it's difficult to draw 125 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 6: you know, too many conclusions, but the trend is moving 126 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 6: in the direction of you know, that ratio improving in 127 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 6: favor of cp you. So you know, our view is 128 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 6: that at least you know, we have visibility based on 129 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 6: you know, some of the architectures that we have seen 130 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 6: from Nvidia and AMD and Google, et cetera. Into twenty 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 6: twenty seven. You know, it's moving in the in the 132 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 6: direction we think it's going to get to like, you know, 133 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 6: one to two by end of next year. But whether 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 6: it gets to one to one or even higher than 135 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 6: one to one, that remains to be seen. 136 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: Can I talk you about talk to you about valuations, 137 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: because when you look at AMD on a one year hr, 138 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: it's extraordinary. 139 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: We're at a new record high. 140 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: We're up three hundred percent over that one year basis, 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: we're up sixty more than sixty percent on the year, 142 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: and a new record high of look at six hundred 143 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: billion dollars market cap, that's nothing compared to the four 144 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: trillion of Nvidia. But when you start to get a 145 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: little bit anxious about where the stock trades, well. 146 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 6: You know, the valuation is rich, right, you know, and videos, 147 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 6: you know, trading in high teens. When you look at 148 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 6: calendar twenty seven members and AMD is probably trading close 149 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 6: to twice the multiple. It is at a premium. But 150 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 6: as you said, it's a smaller market cap name. You 151 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 6: could argue maybe it's growing faster because it's smaller in size. 152 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 6: But you know, for US, I think CPU certainly helps 153 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: the short term, but longer term, if you look at 154 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 6: the GPU opportunity that's much bigger, I would say GPUs 155 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 6: probably we're talking including the custom chips, you know, a 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 6: trillion dollar type SAM and the CPU. As Lisa said, 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: it's about one hundred and twenty billion. It used to 158 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 6: be sixty, not too long ago. So I think it's 159 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 6: essential that AMD make progress on the GPU front. And 160 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: they've announced you know, new customers, you know, Open Ai 161 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 6: and Meta, and those customers are expected to ramp later 162 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: this year and into next year. So you know, that's 163 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 6: why we're we're actually sitting on the sidelines right now, 164 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 6: even though the demand is very strong because of valuation. 165 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 6: We want to see some evidence that you know, AM 166 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 6: they can actually gain and compete against Nvidia and gain 167 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 6: some incremental share as we go into next year. 168 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: So it's about execution for Lisa, Sue talk to us 169 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: a little bit about what we seeing in optical fiber 170 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: exuberance today as well. Corning up fourteen percent in video 171 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: saying look, I want I want to in on your 172 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: shares up to five hundred million dollars worth and the 173 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: right start purchase them. What can Corning bring to AI 174 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: data centers? 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 6: Well, at a high level, you know, AI demand is 176 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 6: putting pressure on connectivity. You know, you know it's one 177 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 6: thing to process the data, but you also need to 178 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 6: move the data at the super fast speeds, and the 179 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 6: demand has been so strong that you know, all those 180 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 6: connectivity you know, bottlenecks are emerging and optical plays a 181 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 6: key role in moving the data not only between you know, 182 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 6: the servers, but also between data centers. So you know, 183 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 6: we're seeing, you know, the supply constraints emerge across the board, 184 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 6: and I think in videos, what EN Video is trying 185 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 6: to do is make sure that you know, those supply 186 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 6: constraints are not going to limit their growth and they're 187 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 6: using their balance sheet strength. And that's one of the 188 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 6: reasons you know, we like n Video because you know, 189 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 6: they not only have the best products in the industry, 190 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 6: but also have the balance sheet strength. I think that 191 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 6: is a structural like vantage in an environment like this 192 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 6: where everything is so tight. 193 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 3: I'll bec analyst Streni perjury. It's really great to have 194 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: your analysis on the show today. 195 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Indeed. 196 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, sticking with all things chips, Germany's Infinian also reporting 197 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 3: earnings forecasting revenue of around four point eight billion dollars 198 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: for its fiscal third quarter that did beat expectations. 199 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: The company is saying it's benefiting from spending moon on. 200 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: AI infrastructure, where it's power supply solutions for data centers 201 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: and very high demand. But as you see, the stock 202 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 3: has been under pressure in European trading like twenty twenty six, 203 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 3: they say on track to grow about ten percent coming up. 204 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: Disney gets a profit boost from some successful sequels, improved 205 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: streaming results, and guests spending at their parks will dig in. 206 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: This has been by tech. 207 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: Check in on shares of Disney having their best day 208 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: in a year, currently up seven percent, the company posting 209 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: stronger than expected results thanks to improve profitability from its 210 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: streaming business and guests they're spending more at the parks. 211 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,119 Speaker 3: Here discuss is Helen and Wang, which is Philip Securities 212 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: research analyst. You were impressed by the numbers and all 213 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: being given by the new CEO. 214 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 7: Yes, I think it's a pretty solid number of the 215 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 7: m ros first earnings both revenue and EPs pis estimate 216 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 7: and they've guided for twelve percent EPs girls for twenty 217 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 7: twenty six, so that's for the acceleration. So I will 218 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 7: say it's pretty good start for the new CEO. 219 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: Good start when actually we thought maybe things didn't look 220 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: so pretty when he first took up the reins. There 221 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: was Sora unraveling the deal with open Ai. There was 222 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: concerns with what's happening with Epic Games and their partnership. 223 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 3: But more broadly, how do you think the consumer is 224 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 3: feeling right now getting into the park, because we've got 225 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: a lot of micro headwinds. 226 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 7: Yes, looking at their experience division, they are seeing a 227 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 7: slight decrease in their US parkeet so that is probably 228 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 7: something paired from the wall. So fewer for as far 229 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 7: as are traveling to the US, but we are seeing 230 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 7: guests spending more at the US parks. So per person 231 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 7: spending group five percent you're on year, So that means 232 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 7: people are spending more on the tickets, on the food, 233 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 7: on the merchandises. They're seeing very strong booking in their 234 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 7: Disney World. Another factor that's coming is they're seeing the 235 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 7: cruise ship having higher volume, probably because of the new 236 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 7: introduction of their Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure that was 237 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 7: introduced in March twenty twenty six, so that kind of 238 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 7: gives them a forty percent increase in cruise booking capacity. 239 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: I love how in your notes you really think about 240 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: the flywheel effect, the IP flywheel effect. 241 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: This is how this business makes sense. 242 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: The fact that they've got new frozen experiences coming online. 243 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: They're investing in the IP and the entertainment but also 244 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: in the experience space, are you willing to take down 245 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: more of that investment at the moment because they have 246 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: spent a lot on cruises, they are updating the way 247 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: in which they're serving people at the parks. 248 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 7: Yes, they're definitely investing very aggressively right now, but I 249 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 7: see it comes from a point of confidence because they're 250 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 7: doing so well in their current business, so they're trying 251 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 7: to expand more in order to lay out more on 252 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 7: the lanesom Girls Wrongway. So they're coming up with a 253 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 7: lot of major part expansion globally. They're coming up with 254 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 7: another new cruise ship in Japan, and they're also coming 255 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 7: up with a new scene part resulting Abu Dhabi. So 256 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 7: I guess the war impact is very minimum for them. 257 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 7: I guess it's a good thing because their unique value 258 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 7: is rooted in the strong brand, reputation and the flightway effect. 259 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: I think that's a really good point that even though 260 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: we've got conflict geopolitical anxiety in the Middle East, they're 261 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 3: still going ahead with what's happening in Abadabi. Just one 262 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: area of concern is just the cost of doing business 263 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 3: when it comes to sports as well. 264 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: Right, ESPN did show that weakness. 265 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: There is that something that you also have to take 266 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: down in terms of investment. 267 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: They need the content, they need to win the rights. 268 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 7: Yes, ESPN actually the increasing revenue because of the higher 269 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 7: subscription and affiliate fee due to their NFL transaction, But 270 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 7: it's definitely they're showing a decreasing operating income because of 271 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 7: the highest flora and production costs. But I guess everybody 272 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 7: in the streaming industry right now is trying to increase 273 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 7: their life sport because it's a large market, it has 274 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 7: a very loyal fan base that will always be there, 275 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 7: and everybody wanted the piece of that juicy pie and 276 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 7: sport where are so expensive right now, especially if you 277 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 7: want it as skill and Disney they already have the skill, 278 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 7: so I think even though the cost is a little 279 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 7: bit high for them, but they do have the advantage 280 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 7: in that sector. 281 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: Helena, it's great catching up with you. 282 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: Thanks for joining again, Helena Wang of Philip Securities.

Plus, Morgan Stanley is rolling out 290 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: cryptocurrency trading on his e trade platform, charging clients at 291 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 3: just fifty basis points, half the cost of some major 292 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 3: rivals like Robin Hood.

I'm happy to talk about 333 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 9: some of the detracting items there, but what we have 334 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 9: been doing as we get this growth, we've been focused 335 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 9: on extremely disciplined operations from a cost management standpoint, and 336 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 9: we're embracing AI increasingly to drive more efficiency for the company. 337 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 9: So that's allowing us to report EPs growth of forty 338 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 9: four percent here on you as well on top of 339 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 9: that twenty one percent and top line growth, and it's 340 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 9: setting us up really well for the rest of the year. 341 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 9: And you see that in our outlook, which I think 342 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 9: met and exceeded expectations on both top and bottom line. 343 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: Let's take into that Uber Expedia partnership. 344 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: It's only about a week old or so, and I 345 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 3: can understand that it's sort about adding hotel bookings, Like, 346 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 3: is this some sort of real uptick to subscriptions? Do 347 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 3: you think in the longer term, how does it help 348 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 3: just bring more and more people back to the app 349 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: time and again? 350 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, So I think the important thing to know 351 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 9: there is we think consumers who engage with our products 352 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 9: across our portfolio are incredibly valuable to us, and today 353 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 9: only about twenty percent of our monthly active consumers engage 354 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 9: across the platform on both mobility and delivery services, but 355 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 9: when they do, they drive significantly higher growth, bookings profits 356 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 9: for the company. And underpinning all of that activity for 357 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 9: US is our Uber one program, right, and we talked 358 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 9: about getting to about fifty million members as of this quarter. 359 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 4: We added about twenty million. 360 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 9: Members the last year alone, and now these members drive 361 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 9: fifty percent of our gross bookings for the company. When 362 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 9: you think about a partnership like Experia, what we are 363 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 9: trying to do is to expand the surface area of 364 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 9: what we consider cross platform and today's mobility and delivery 365 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 9: in the core. But hotels are a very adjacent opportunity 366 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 9: for US, where fifteen percent of our mobility gross bookings 367 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 9: comes from airport trips, forty percent of our US riders 368 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 9: take trips outside of their home cities, and then last 369 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 9: year we did one point five billion trips globally that 370 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 9: happened in outside users' home cities. So when you bring 371 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 9: in a program like this, it allows us to bring 372 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 9: the best prices to our consumers on hotel bookings from 373 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 9: experience platform, and in addition, we're giving them ten percent 374 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 9: cash back which is quite incredibly valuable, which they come 375 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 9: back and spend. 376 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 11: On our plot. 377 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 2: Can I talk about the B to B business? 378 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: You want it to become a ten million dollar plus 379 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: business briefly? 380 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: Like? 381 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: What are the growth markets for that? 382 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 7: Yeah? 383 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 9: So very exciting trajectory there for us as well. We 384 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 9: noted that we're at now five billion in gross bookings 385 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 9: on that business and it's growing forty five percent relative 386 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 9: to that twenty one percent total that we talked about. 387 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 9: When you think about our B to B business, it's 388 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 9: effectively bringing ubers services across both mobility and delivery to 389 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 9: enterprise grade sort of modality to customers across the enterprise stack. 390 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 9: When we where we are today, we are at about 391 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 9: three hundred thousand organizations globally that are using our services 392 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 9: through this offering, and we do think that over time 393 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 9: we can service as many as a million organizations globally 394 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 9: and that would allow us to get to five get 395 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 9: from five to ten billion dollars there. 396 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: It was CFO Alergy. 397 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: Christian Murphy, thank you very much indeed for joining us 398 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 3: today on all things earnings. Let's turn our attention to 399 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 3: energy now, because Microsoft is considering delaying or abandoning is 400 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 3: ambitious clean energy targets. According to sources, the reason AI 401 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: race and most body four joins us for more on this. 402 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 3: Just spell out what the targets were for Microsoft, why 403 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 3: they were so perhaps over and above others in the space. 404 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, you remember, there was a point in time where 405 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 12: we heard big companies talk a whole lot more about 406 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 12: the climate than they do now. 407 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 6: Right. 408 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 12: Microsoft was one of these large tech companies. I was 409 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 12: quite vocal, and they said that we're going to match 410 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 12: one hundred percent of the energy we use in our 411 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 12: offices and data centers by putting clean energy back onto 412 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 12: the grid. That might be solar, battery, wind, stuff of 413 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 12: that nature. But of course these targets were set before 414 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 12: the AI boom, and now they're racing to get as 415 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 12: much power as they can and starting up gas power plants, 416 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 12: and so our understanding is that inside the company, there's 417 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 12: a growing sense that we're going to have to revise 418 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 12: and take back some of these ambitious climate targets that 419 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 12: were so important at least to our marketing. 420 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: You say, talks inside Microsoft are ongoing there's no final decision. 421 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: In fact, you spoke to a spokesperson for the story 422 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: and talking about how they're continuing to look for opportunities 423 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: to maintain that annual matching goal. But look, they're not 424 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 3: commenting on the much tougher hourly commitment. 425 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 2: Was that a tell? 426 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's one of these things that's quite wonky. I mean, 427 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 12: I certainly had to learn a lot of these differences, 428 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 12: but matching on the annual level is not quite as 429 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 12: difficult because essentially, during the daytime there's a ton of 430 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 12: clean energy, largely due to solar. Matching your energy use 431 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 12: in the nighttime is the big challenge, especially because data 432 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 12: centers run twenty four to seven, and so you could 433 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 12: maintain your annual matching and it still sounds pretty good. 434 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 12: But what this is, and it's important to recognize, is 435 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 12: it's a step back on climate goals. Assuming they go 436 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 12: through with this decision, I think. 437 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 3: Makes Brady ford the impact of AI, we appreciate it. 438 00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: Thank you. 439 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 3: With AI costs, open ai expects to spend fifty billion 440 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 3: dollars on computing power in just this year. 441 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: That's according to the company's. 442 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: President, Greg Brockman, testifying in open AI's courtroom battle against 443 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: Elon Musk. Brockman also said he and other co founders 444 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 3: were concerned that Musk lacked the patients and AI understanding 445 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: to run the chat chypt maker. The trial continues today. 446 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 3: Coming up Disney's bottom line. While it gets a boost 447 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 3: from some hit sequels, it got some what. 448 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: To come as well. 449 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: We're also talking about the streaming turnaround, resilient spending in 450 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: the parks. 451 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: There's a new CEO and it was pretty good news 452 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: to him. 453 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: As the stock reacts up to seven percent, the best 454 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: day for Disney in a year at least. Let's talk 455 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: about NASA one hundred one and a half percent the 456 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: socks again. 457 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: Chip stocks are on fire. 458 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: We see Nvidio inking deals of corning to ensure that 459 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: there's AI infrastructure supply, and AMD really impresses on its earnings. 460 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: This is brumbo tech. 461 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 3: Welcome back to bloommeg tech. We have got techtogs in demand. 462 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: There's geopolitics at play. There's hope that there is some 463 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: de escalation between US and Iran and that plays into 464 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 3: the markets. But so two to earnings and I'm looking 465 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: at the nastag up one. 466 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: Point six percent. 467 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 3: We're a record high again for the tech heavy benchmark, 468 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 3: and we think about what's leaving the pack in terms 469 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 3: of points. There's a lot to do with earnings. I 470 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: dig into one of them. Disney currently having its best 471 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 3: day in a year, new CEO Josh Damara, able to 472 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: deliver strong results in particular. Look, we're up six percent 473 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: on the name. We're just rolling over from our previous peak. 474 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 3: But this is all about a company that's getting more optimization, 475 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 3: more monetization from streaming in particular. And look, Bloomberg Intelligence 476 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 3: is pointing to the strengthening growth outlook and more consistent 477 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 3: earnings trajectory. More broadly, as a company brushes off part 478 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 3: concerns with higher and exbra share guidance too. Keith Raganavin 479 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 3: from Bloemegg Intelligence joins us now and look, can you 480 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 3: talk about perhaps the anxiety going into this about the 481 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: consumer and they show resilience. 482 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 2: Is it the box office? Is it the was working? 483 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 13: Everything seems to be working right now, Caroline. And of course, 484 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 13: coming into this quarter, there was a lot of concerns 485 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 13: about whether Disney would in fact lower their guidance for 486 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 13: the full year, and they did exactly the opposite, which 487 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 13: is why we're kind of seeing the shares really react 488 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 13: with so much more confidence today. So, you know, on 489 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 13: the theme parks, which is sixty percent of total company profit, 490 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 13: we were expecting, you know, very very modest profit increase 491 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 13: for the fiscal second quarter. They actually outperformed with five 492 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 13: percent increase in profit, and you know, they attribute that 493 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 13: to pretty strong per capita spending, even though visitation was 494 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 13: a little challenged, so international visitation to their domestic parks 495 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 13: has been heard by you know, a stronger dollar and 496 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 13: some of the geopolitical tensions. But despite that, they kind 497 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 13: of delivered. And really, I think the upbeat commentary for 498 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 13: the fiscal third quarter where they talked about, you know, 499 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 13: a pickup in demand and some of those attendance headwinds 500 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 13: kind of fading away, really lends credence to their very 501 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 13: optimistic outlook for fiscal twenty twenty six and even fiscal 502 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 13: twenty twenty seven. 503 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 3: It's all about what we're discussing at the top of 504 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: the show, the flywheel effect of the IP and how 505 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: attractive it is that plays into the streaming into the content. 506 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 3: Just to listen to Josh Tomorrow on the call yesterday, 507 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 3: what he had to say. 508 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 14: We centralized television programming within Disney Entertainment DTC. So we're 509 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 14: programming for Disney Plus and Hulu while being smart about 510 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 14: window and content to linear so that we can expand reach. 511 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 4: And maximize monetization. 512 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 14: And we also integrated our games business into Disney Entertainment 513 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 14: and this creates new opportunities to cross promote franchises and 514 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 14: use games to extend storytelling and ultimately develop new ip. 515 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 3: And of course was this morning not last night? My 516 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 3: days are a loss eitho when we're in earnings, I'm 517 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: interested as to what Josh did to convince about perhaps 518 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: his big epic games bet, the Fortnite bet that people 519 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: have been worried about to start of his reign. 520 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, so it's really, you know, as part of that 521 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 13: whole content strategy. Yes, you're right to point out video games, 522 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 13: and they're basically trying to create, you know, this one 523 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 13: stop shop really using Disney Plus as kind of the 524 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 13: hub for so many more products because you know, at 525 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 13: the end of the day, at Disney has such a 526 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 13: fantastic product portfolio with of course streaming, but then you 527 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 13: have movies, and you have theme parks, and you have merchandise, 528 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 13: and you have video games, and it's really, you know, 529 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 13: Josh Tomorrow kind of setting the stage for achieving that 530 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 13: whole next phase of growth by leaning more heavily into 531 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 13: that Disney Plus experience. Right with video games, you have 532 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 13: access to a whole new audience, a much younger audience, 533 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 13: you know, whom you can sell into. And that's exactly 534 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 13: what he's planning to do. But it's really about reintegrating 535 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 13: the content engine as a whole. And I think he 536 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 13: did a pretty good job of convincing investors that he 537 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 13: knows exactly what he's doing and he has a plan 538 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 13: in place. 539 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: Now we're all excited for Devils product. 540 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: Too, if you haven't already seen it, but took us 541 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: to another place where content is coming. Warner Brothers Discovery 542 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: got their earnings after the Bell. 543 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, So for Warner Brothers, it's just such a completely 544 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 13: different story. I mean, I think, you know, fundamentals their earnings. 545 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 13: That's a little bit of a sideshow here. It's all 546 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 13: about M and A. We do know that one of 547 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 13: the numbers that we're going to be looking for as 548 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 13: the street will be is at TV advertising revenue and 549 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 13: advertising revenue in general. We do expect a pretty dismal 550 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 13: quarter if you would you if you can call it 551 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 13: that for TV advertising, just because Warner Brothers Discovery lost 552 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 13: its rights to the NBA, and so that is definitely 553 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 13: going to have a huge impact. But other than that, 554 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 13: any color that you know they can offer, just generally 555 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 13: from an M and A perspective, although I doubt they 556 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 13: will do that. 557 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 3: It's a busy timmy if you too, Thrang and app 558 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 3: and we so appreciate you of Bloomberg Intelligence. 559 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 2: Let's stick with those earnings. 560 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 3: We're getting back to MD why because it's the biggest 561 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 3: points contributor on the nasat one hundred, that a record high. 562 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: It shares a record high. We're up seventeen percent. 563 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 3: Bluebag's Round for Stelca has been writing about well, some. 564 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 2: Of the competitive threats that are coming in video's way. 565 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 3: Let's go in on AMD because this isn't actually just 566 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 3: a GPU story, this is CPU story. This is about 567 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 3: a total addressable market that doubles. 568 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, good morning, thanks for having me. 569 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 15: So what I would start with is that AMD coming 570 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 15: into this report was coming off its biggest one month 571 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 15: gain since the dot com era, so expectations were really 572 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 15: elevated for this report. And even with that, it really 573 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 15: just blew everyone away. Very strong results, very strong forecast. 574 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 15: At least a couple of upgrades I saw, including from 575 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 15: Goldman this morning. People were very impressed by their ability 576 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 15: to draw like really impressive growth and really sort of 577 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 15: establish themselves as a major player within AI. 578 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: Some of the price target changes were actually I watering. 579 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: I think some of them. 580 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: First Team were doubling their price target on AMD, so 581 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 3: big moves. Ryan, what about in video playing a bit 582 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 3: of a catch up today, because you've been writing a 583 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 3: lot about how maybe it's been beaten up when the 584 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: rest of the market, in the socks at least, have 585 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: gone up into the we've been worrying about competition. 586 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 15: Yeah, truly interesting is if you look at the socks, 587 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 15: it's up I think about sixty percent since late March. However, 588 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 15: in Vidia, the biggest company really in the world, certainly 589 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 15: the biggest semiconductor company, really hasn't been participating in that 590 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 15: rally to the same degree. And it does seem like 591 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 15: there is a growing appreciation that a couple of years 592 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 15: ago it basically had a monopoly on AI chips. Now 593 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 15: we are seeing more and more people come into this market, 594 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 15: including some of Nvidia's biggest customers. So Alphabet last week 595 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 15: talked about how it's going to start selling its TPU 596 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 15: chips to other clouds. Those are specifically designed for AI applications, 597 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 15: so there is a lot of demand for them. People 598 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 15: even view them as superior to in Nvidia products in 599 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 15: certain use cases. Amazon has its own chip, Meta is 600 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 15: developing its own chip. Microsoft is These are all of 601 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 15: Nvidia's biggest customers. So while it is dealing with competition 602 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 15: from the likes of AMD, Intel, Qualcom, all these sort 603 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 15: of traditional chip makers, it is also seeing more aggressive 604 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 15: moves into the space from its biggest customers. Like I said, 605 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 15: Alphabet probably being the most notable one. Certainly people are 606 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 15: starting to wonder what does this mean for Nvidia's growth, margins, pricing, power, 607 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 15: market share, all of that if we start to see 608 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 15: some of its biggest customers looking to reduce their reliance 609 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 15: on Nvidia. 610 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: Most ran Laselca. 611 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: We thank you very much for the round up on 612 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 3: chips and let's stick with chips. The semiconductor market is 613 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 3: on track to hit one trillion dollars, but global tensions 614 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: rising demand of forcing the chip supply chain to adapt. 615 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: That's the focus of this week's episode of Bloomberg Primer, 616 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: Take a look. 617 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: AI is booming. 618 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 3: AI chips accounted for more than one quarter of all 619 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: chips sold in twenty twenty five. That figure is expected 620 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 3: to reach more than half by twenty twenty nine. Chip 621 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 3: demand is no longer dictated by which new iPhone or 622 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 3: PC will have customers lining up. 623 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 16: What has changed over the years in the semiconductor industry 624 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 16: is since we're seeing such a surge in the need 625 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 16: to build data centers for AI deployment and applications, we're 626 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 16: seeing a more sustained growth period in semiconductors as opposed 627 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 16: to the old fashioned sickle call when we used to 628 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 16: have Intel come out with chips that everybody had to 629 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 16: upgrade their computer for. 630 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: Spending on AI infrastructure like data centers is projected to 631 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 3: soon cross the one trillion dollar mark. 632 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: So the demand for these chips is there. 633 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: There's just one maybe not so nanoscopic problem. How concentrated 634 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 3: is too concentrated for this supply chain. Here more from 635 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: the team at Bloomberg Originals on today's episode of Primer. 636 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 3: That's Tonight Bloomberg six pm ET or on Bloomberg Originals 637 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 3: at eight pm New York time. Now, sticking with chips, 638 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 3: let's take a look at today's big number, fifty five 639 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: billion dollars. That is how much SpaceX is estimating elomusks 640 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 3: Terrafab chip factory will cost to build along with Tesla's 641 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 3: according to a public notice which shows the estimated total 642 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 3: capital investment could actually write to one hundred and nineteen 643 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 3: billion and the additional phases of the project are completed. 644 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 3: Coming up, Apple going to let users choose their own 645 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 3: AI models across iOS twenty seven. More on that next, 646 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 3: As Broomberg tech cool and I was trying to turn 647 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 3: its devices into a comprehensive AI platform with the iOS 648 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 3: twenty seven, this full users will be able to choose 649 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: from multiple outside AI models like Google's Gemini or own products. 650 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 3: Claude Bloomberg, Mark German is here with us, and Mark 651 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 3: is it trying to be agnostic here in some way? 652 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 4: In some way it's trying to be agnostic. 653 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 17: But what it's really trying to do is understand where 654 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 17: it's at in artificial intelligence. And if you look at Siri, 655 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 17: you look at the Apple intelligence capabilities, there are nowhere 656 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 17: up to par what you're seeing on Android. What you're 657 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 17: seeing from competing devices, what you're seeing from CHADGBT, Claude, 658 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 17: you name it, so they recognize that. So the name 659 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 17: of the game is making the default offerings, right, Siri, 660 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 17: Apple Intelligence competent and good enough. Right in the same 661 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 17: way that the built in apps on an iPhone are 662 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 17: competent and good enough. But then you have an app 663 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 17: store where you can outfit your iPhone with a bunch 664 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 17: of apps that many people consider superior. But you're still 665 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 17: using an iPhone, and you're still driving services revenue to Apple, 666 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 17: and obviously the harder revenue because they're buying you're buying 667 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 17: their products, and so in the same way, they want 668 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 17: to make the AI stuff good enough, but also offer 669 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 17: customers the ability to put their own choice of AI 670 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 17: models on top of features or to power certain features. 671 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 17: So you're still using an iPhone, and maybe you're even 672 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 17: making them more money by subscribing to different AI services 673 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 17: like chat GPT or Geminii their platform, which they'll get 674 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 17: a cut of through the app store. 675 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 2: So at the moment mark you can interact with chat GPT. 676 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 3: That sort of got the first in with Apple across 677 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 3: some of its functionality, but when it comes to sery. 678 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 3: We understand that it's alphabets technology that they're sort of 679 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 3: turning towards. 680 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: Where are we going to see and feel it differently? 681 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 4: So there's a couple of things going on here, right. 682 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 17: So Apple Intelligence when it first launched in twenty twenty four, Siri, 683 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 17: that was based on Apple models, but there was what's 684 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 17: called an extension to be able to tap into chat GPT. 685 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 17: Now Apple's rebuilding Siri, so it's in house Siri using 686 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 17: Google Gemini models, but that doesn't have Google Gemini functionality. 687 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 17: It's basically like they hired the engineers from Google to 688 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 17: fix Siri because you know, obviously they're doing a better 689 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 17: job building their models. But now in addition to chad GPT, 690 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 17: you'll be able to tap into outside AI sovices, Gemini 691 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 17: being one, Claude being another. And we'll see if they 692 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 17: end up allowing meta Alexa. 693 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 4: And you name it. 694 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,959 Speaker 17: In terms of when this is all coming, So they'll 695 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 17: introduce these new features as well as the Revampseiri in 696 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 17: June on the eighth at WWBC, and they'll roll it 697 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 17: out in September, and I think if it rolls out 698 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 17: any later than that, another disaster on their hands. 699 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 4: But I think this is going to happen this time. 700 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: Is this going to be enough? 701 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 3: Is this Apple being In the longer term, I'm making 702 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 3: the decision that they are just going to outsource this. 703 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 4: Well, let's start with the short term. 704 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 17: In the short term, if you're a customer, if you 705 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 17: really can't ask for more. 706 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 4: Other than to have access and have optionality to have anything. 707 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 7: Right. 708 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 17: As Gemini improves, as Cloud improves, chat youpt improves, you're 709 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 17: going to get the best stuff on an iPhone. So 710 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 17: from a customer standpoint, that's great. From a long term standpoint, 711 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 17: I still think that Apple needs to get improved models. 712 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 17: They need to be on the frontier of things when 713 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 17: it comes to AI, because they have all sorts of 714 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 17: hardware plans in the future, and if you're a hardware 715 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 17: company like Apple, you don't want to be reliant on 716 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 17: third parties to power the underlying AI powering those products. 717 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 17: So in the short term they're going to be great. 718 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 17: In the long term, they need to get things moving 719 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 17: in a far better, more competitive direction. 720 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 3: And we're likely therefore to see more of these announcements coming. 721 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 3: And you as always set us up for what to 722 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 3: anticipate with Apple Rumg's Mark gum and in some Frantsisco 723 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 3: on all things Appleine and integration of AI. 724 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 2: I'm but used to say. Now though, we can get 725 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 2: back out to. 726 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 3: The Milkene conference in California where Bloomberg's Joe Matthew and 727 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 3: Krol Masser are sitting down with Kathy would have ARC. 728 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 2: Let's listen in. 729 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 18: All right, Paul and Scarlet, thank you so much. We 730 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 18: welcome everybody on Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg TV, across Bloomberg platforms. Yes, indeed, 731 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 18: Carol Masser, Joe Matthew here at the milk and Institute 732 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 18: Global Conference. We have a special guest. And I feel 733 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 18: like reading in this morning, the headlines were made. It's 734 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 18: like they knew Kathy was going to join us. Kathy 735 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 18: would CEO, CIO and of course the founder of ARC invest. 736 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 11: It's so nice to talk with you again. Thanks, delighted 737 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 11: to be here. You gave me my big break in 738 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 11: twenty fifteen. 739 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 18: I'll never forget that. Well, it's so funny because I 740 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 18: want to talk to Elon because you kind of put 741 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 18: him for me on the radar, and I just feel 742 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 18: like it was a time when so many people questioned 743 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 18: what he was up to now, everybody is so excited 744 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 18: about the SpaceX ipo. We see increasingly how he's kind 745 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 18: of melding his universe together. Tell us about kind of 746 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 18: that bet. And even today we have that he's building 747 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 18: a chip factory at least fifty five billion in investment, 748 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 18: maybe as much as almost one hundred and twenty and 749 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 18: he's doing this chip factory SpaceX with Tesla. How are 750 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 18: you looking at Elon right now and what his next 751 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 18: era is. 752 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 10: So this is why I founded ARC invest. 753 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 11: We knew that the seeds that were planted in the 754 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 11: twenty years that ended in the bubble, they've been germinating 755 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 11: for twenty twenty five years and now they're flourishing. And 756 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 11: what we're seeing is fifteen different technologies evolving and they're 757 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 11: all converging. And Elon, about six months ago, and we've 758 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 11: been using the word convergence for a long time, he said, 759 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 11: you know what, I think, my companies are converging more 760 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 11: than even I understood. And so we're seeing of course 761 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 11: SpaceX XAI, rumors about Tesla, and really he believes that 762 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 11: in the new world, or to create the new world, 763 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 11: a company has to be vertically integrated, and so that's 764 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 11: what's happening here. He is moving into incredible vertical integration 765 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 11: as he moves data centers into space. 766 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 18: Is it all about our Bloomberg intelligence? George Ferguson cover Space, 767 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 18: covers Defense, but he said, it's all about Elon controlling 768 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 18: the supply chain. Kathy, But I do feel like globally 769 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 18: we're seeing countries companies really thinking about their supply chain. 770 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 18: Is that part of his strategy? 771 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 10: Absolutely? Absolutely? 772 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 11: And also when a company is breaking new ground literally 773 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 11: in this case, and really inventing something, the supply chain 774 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 11: doesn't exist very often or not all parts of it exist. 775 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 11: And I think also as he's discussing where he's going 776 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 11: and how he's going to do it, he is getting 777 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 11: the supply chain ready. 778 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 7: You know. 779 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 10: He always sets. 780 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 11: The time frame, you know, much sooner than most people 781 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 11: would expect. But it's to get his employees and the 782 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 11: supply chain focused, because when he moves. 783 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 10: He moves fast. 784 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 8: You've really helped to define people's perception of Elon Musk 785 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 8: and the company Tesla largely as one that is not 786 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 8: about making cars, but one that's about autonomy and robotics. 787 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 8: When you walk out the Hilton here, different than where 788 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 8: I live in Washington, DC, driverless weaymos are picking people 789 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 8: up and driving away with them all day long. The 790 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 8: mainstreaming of autonomous vehicles is just about here. I'd like 791 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 8: to know if you see that actually fulfilling itself in 792 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 8: the next year, and if this is a zero sum 793 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 8: game or you're going to have Uber, Weimo, Tesla all involved. 794 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 11: Okay, this is where vertical integration comes back into the conversation. 795 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 10: In the robotaxi world. 796 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:56,479 Speaker 11: Tesla's vertically integrated and has created the platform upon which 797 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 11: others will build their companies. So I credit our team, 798 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 11: So Tasha, Daniel, Brettwinton. We have been focused on this 799 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 11: from day one twenty fourteen when I founded ARC and yes, slowly, 800 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 11: slowly than all at once. So vertical integration for Tesla 801 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 11: means it will have the lowest cost structure by far. 802 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 11: Now it's going to use Uber's umbrella here three dollars 803 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 11: plus per mile, but if our analysis is correct, those 804 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 11: costs as robotaxis scale are going to drop to twenty 805 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 11: five cents per mile. 806 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 10: Think about it. 807 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 11: The cost of transportation is going to collapse here. 808 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 10: And no one Waimo's cost structure. 809 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 11: According to our estimates in twenty thirty will be fifty 810 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 11: percent higher than Tesla's because they're dependent on other auto 811 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 11: manufacturers and others in the supply chain that Tesla is not. 812 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 18: How are you thinking about the SpaceX IPO, Kathy? Do 813 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 18: you anticipate there's so much enthusiasm going into it, massive size, 814 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 18: massive interest. But do you think there'll be a drop 815 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 18: off initially after you know, once it makes its public 816 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 18: debut and then ultimately kind of play out like Tesla 817 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 18: did that eventually it goes up again, Like how do 818 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 18: you see the trajectory? 819 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 10: Right? 820 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 11: So this is only at least what we know so far, 821 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 11: seventy five billion dollars. There is so much demand out there. 822 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 11: We have in our venture fund, so ARKVX SpaceX is 823 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 11: the largest position. And because we're direct to consumer when 824 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 11: it comes to venture, although the fund has scaled north 825 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,439 Speaker 11: of eight hundred and fifty million, investors had to look 826 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 11: for us and how did they find us? They were 827 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 11: looking for SpaceX. So the demand is voracious out there. 828 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 11: Only seventy five billion. Yes, it's a big IPO, but 829 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 11: just think about how SpaceX has reawakened the dream of 830 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 11: space exploration. This has captured the imagination not just of 831 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 11: investors but really everyone. 832 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 18: So does that mean you don't think it'll fly? You 833 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 18: think the animal will continue? Do you think there will 834 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 18: be some settling it. 835 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 11: I think there'll be supply demand imbalance in the beginning. 836 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 11: You'll see that pop. It will be volatile, I would imagine, 837 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 11: But we hope to serve in terms of providing our research. 838 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 11: We've already got a SpaceX model out there on our 839 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 11: site art dash invest dot com. We have not added 840 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 11: data centers orbital data centers in however, our preliminary work 841 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 11: suggests that that part of the business could take relative 842 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 11: to our existing model, could take Tesla from a revenue 843 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 11: generation point of view, orders of magnitude higher, ten twenty 844 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 11: times higher. 845 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 18: I'm so glad you went there. Data centers and space, 846 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 18: and I mentioned before we got going it came up 847 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 18: on a real estate panel where so many of the 848 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 18: real estate investors, even like related companies, has switched their 849 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 18: focus to data centers. But we brought up data centers 850 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 18: in space. What does that mean though? Then, for all 851 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 18: of the data center build out and money that is 852 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 18: happening here on Earth, does that mean a lot of 853 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 18: that goes away? There's a little bit of a bubble, 854 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 18: like how do we reconcile. 855 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 11: That we think And this is the important judgment call. 856 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 11: Is this hype? Is this nineteen ninety nine? I can 857 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 11: tell you unequivocally it is not. As I mentioned, the 858 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 11: seeds were planted. Then now we're ready, and we think 859 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 11: this technology revolution is going to dwarf the industrial revolution 860 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 11: by far. So I think that we'll need the orbit 861 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 11: bild data centers. And of course Elon is informed by 862 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 11: his experience in Memphis, Tennessee and now Mississippi. Memphis became 863 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 11: not in my backyard, You're increasing my tricity prices and you're. 864 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 10: Ruining our land. 865 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 11: So he's basically saying, I'm not going to have to 866 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 11: worry about not in my backyard in space. 867 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 18: But does it make a bubble of the stuff on? 868 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 11: We don't think so. I don't think so. We think 869 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 11: we're going we need all of it. 870 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 18: Yep, Sorry, I know I'm dominating. 871 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 4: I mean you guys should walk away with this. 872 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 8: Go to ask you about something that took place today. 873 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 8: You woke up and saw your third largest holding just 874 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 8: go through the roof in AMD another blow the doors 875 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 8: off quarter and it's really creating this question now about 876 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 8: whether we should be paying a lot more attention the 877 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 8: market is to CPUs after GPUs went crazy. We're looking 878 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,959 Speaker 8: at people take money out of Nvidia now and chase 879 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 8: stocks like A M D. Do we need both or 880 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 8: is that where you're looking? 881 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 10: We think we need both. 882 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 11: I do think there is more competition. We want it, 883 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 11: we need it. But it was interesting Sarah Fryar at 884 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 11: open A. I'm going to give her a shout out 885 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 11: because I heard her speak and she she was saying, 886 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 11: you know, people are chasing GPUs. They're they're going to 887 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 11: be really shocked at how Agent k Ai activates CPUs 888 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 11: and infernt generally activate CPUs. Yesterday, Lisa Sue provided a 889 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 11: stat we had never heard before. Right now, for every 890 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 11: for every CPU, there are four to five GPUs when 891 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 11: it comes to enabling AI. Lisa thinks it's going to 892 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 11: go one to one in the future. I think that 893 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 11: has been the sleeper and you see Intel has taken off. 894 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 10: In fact, we're seeing a lot of stocks that were 895 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 10: you know. 896 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 11: They were very big in the bubble. And I just 897 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 11: said to our team today, I said, what's going on. 898 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 11: We're going back to the future. You know Intel resurrecting 899 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 11: Yes and Flextronics is. 900 00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:00,720 Speaker 10: Now called flex boom. So I think we need. 901 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 8: It all not to mention data storage, which has been 902 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:08,320 Speaker 8: one of the most remarkable examples of a shortage creating 903 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,240 Speaker 8: a monster rally. 904 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 10: So you need these. 905 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 8: Old fashioned chips Yes to get to this new fashion AI. 906 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 10: All hands on deck. 907 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 18: We want to ask you about a story that came 908 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 18: out Google Microsoft to give US agency early access to 909 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 18: AI models. So basically the White House vetting AI models 910 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 18: this good are bad? 911 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:30,439 Speaker 11: And knowing this administration and David sachs our ais are. 912 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,839 Speaker 11: I don't think we're talking about heavy regulation here. We 913 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 11: might be talking more about national security. National security we 914 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 11: heard this with Metho's. You know, software that has not 915 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 11: has been a place for sixty years and never been penetrated. 916 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 11: AI can find these vulnerabilities. So they're probably trying to 917 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 11: tighten up a lot of what we do out there 918 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 11: and make sure that our industries are safe. 919 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 8: Bring a political implication though, to what may or may 920 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 8: not be available to people if the White House is 921 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 8: choosing which platform we ought to use. 922 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 11: Now you know what's interesting, and this is taking a 923 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 11: leaf from Open AI in its early days GPT, you 924 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,439 Speaker 11: are saying, we don't think we can release this, this 925 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 11: is too powerful. Is great marketing. It's true that it's 926 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 11: very powerful, but it's also great marketing. A lot of 927 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 11: the people at Anthropic came from Open Ai, so while 928 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 11: they're blazing trails, no question about it, and they're leapfrogging 929 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 11: one another, which is great. Competition is great for US here, 930 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 11: including competition from China. 931 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 10: I think that you know we're on our way. 932 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 18: I want to ask you about stable coins tether and 933 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 18: their potential. Do you think it has a chance to 934 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,760 Speaker 18: become big in the US under the Genius Act? And 935 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 18: you've also invested in Circle, are you looking at other 936 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 18: stable coin related players beyond that? Crypto Bild tell me 937 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 18: there's a lot going on right now. 938 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 10: It is a lot going on. 939 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 18: It's a big meeting at mor Lago. Like I know 940 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 18: a lot of crypto folks. 941 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 11: They tell us well, and you know, in the last election, 942 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 11: I do think the crypto community was very was part 943 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 11: of the swing factor because they knew deregulation would take 944 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,919 Speaker 11: place under this administration. That's absolutely true. So yes, we're 945 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 11: seeing the deregulation. You know, is this is creating a 946 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,800 Speaker 11: new financial world order. Many people think the dollars should 947 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 11: be going down because of our deficit and debt and 948 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 11: all of that. 949 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 10: And what we're seeing here in the United States is. 950 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 11: Deregulation, tax cuts, and a very business friendly, very business 951 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 11: friendly administration. We think the return on invested capital is 952 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 11: going to go up in the US generally, and we 953 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 11: think that the crypto revolution we were at risk of 954 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 11: losing it. Yeah, and yes, we do think USAT has 955 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 11: a shot. 956 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 18: You do, Yes, all right, I'm not gonna have like 957 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 18: IM just a million more questions. Who's doing Kathy, thank 958 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,240 Speaker 18: you so much, really. 959 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 10: Appreciate it, and thank you really so much. 960 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 18: Really appreciate it. Kathy would of course, she's the CEO, 961 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,240 Speaker 18: CIO and of course founder of arc in Vest. Someone 962 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 18: like I said, it was ten years ago, yes, that 963 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 18: we first started talking, yes about Elon Musk's so really 964 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 18: tremendous to catch up with her again. And I feel 965 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 18: like we we didn't even talk about alphabet, which I 966 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 18: know was a great call for you before earning. 967 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 8: Before earning. 968 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, believable
