Speaker 3: on the move that we can do that with Bloomberg's

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: John Tucker, John, what are you look at today?

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know in the shell patch US drilling, all

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: the good sites have been taken are dried up, so consolidates.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: There you go, Devin Energy agreeing to acquire rival share

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: driller Coterra Energy. The price tag here at twenty one

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars, looks like this is going to

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: be an all stock transaction. It's actually one of the

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: largest oilin natural gas deals in years. Sokterra stockholders will

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: receive point seven Devon shares for each year they own.

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: The company's going to keep the Devn name and the

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: CEO there, Clay Gasper, He's going to be the big

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: boss after the deal closes. We actually first reported the

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: talks earlier this year, and the deal expected to close

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. It will generate the expectation at

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: least it's going to generate a billion dollars in pre

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: tax savings, a combination with strengthen their positions in the

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Permian basin of West Texas and New Mexico. So they're

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: going to be able to deal a little better with

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Exon and their other rival did well.

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: The first thing I do is, you know who's getting

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: paid here Evercore serving as financial advisor, Scadden legal advisor

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: to Devin, So those are good paid. Goldman Sachs, JP

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: Morgan representing Coe Terra also doing a fairness opinion.

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: Devin's down about and I'm surprise to find that.

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: No comments so far from Billy, Bob and land Man.

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: You watched Landman, Sure you know, I just because of you.

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: I just started. Don't get me started, I just started it.

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm enjoying Billy Bob Thornton. All right, we digress,

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: Go ahead, John Tuck.

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: We move on to the world of crypto and the exchanges.

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: The latest downturn for crypt I mean Bitcoin is up

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: just a bit this morning. No spectacular scandals, no bankrupt exchange,

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: no regulatory crackdown yet for the biggest trading platforms. The

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: damage is starting to look a little familiar. Bitcoin again,

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: down more than thirty five percent since the October crash

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: for exchanges, though, like Coinbase, the hit has been a

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: lot steeper trading volumes, which of course is the core

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: of their business that is plunging, dragging share prices down

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: forty and fifty five percent over the past three months.

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: Analysts are also slashing their expectations. Coinbase hasn't commented so far.

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: The pressure point is simple. More crypto exchanges generate the

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: biggest chunk of their revenue from the transaction fees, the

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: trading access.

49
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: Say, look, new legislation's coming down the pike this year.

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: At least you have to regulation right coming down the

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: pike for this industry. So it's going to be I

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: would think it's going to be a volatile time.

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely. Let's move on to also one of

54
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: the most active, the most active it was in the

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: pre market, Oracle kicking off a US dollar and bond offering.

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: The software giant trying to raise forty five to fifty

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: billion dollars through a combination of debt and equity sales

58
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: to build, Yes, spend more.

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 4: On NAI data center.

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: They're going to raise the debt and a single issuance

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: of bonds. This will cover half of the plan. Funding

62
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: for the year doesn't extend to issue additional notes beyond

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty six. The rest will be raised

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: through a combination of equity linked and comedy equity.

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: So I have to ask if the stock is up

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: better than four and a half percent, guys, So is

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: this because investors feel good about the fact that they're

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: going outside of.

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Money to do this? Anog Rogin says, it's more because

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: we got initially the shares were down, and then we

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: got more clarity on exactly how this is going to

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: be structured.

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: Okay, because I mean the stock market's been punishing companies

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: that are that are spending big on AI CAPAX.

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: So initially you got you got rewarded for it. Now

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: there's definitely some questions, but I think what the market

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: saying is now I got a little bit of clarity

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: on how this whole thing's all right, I'll buy it.

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: I'll buy it all right. I'll wrap up real quick

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: with the Musk in advanced talks to combine SpaceX with

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: x A I so kind of consolidating the Musk Empire.

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: So his vision for artificial intelligence has grown too costly

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: for any one of the single entity.

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: But I guess it makes sense to do this with

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: x Ai then Tesla.

86
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Also, I mean there's some talk it could also happen

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: with with Tesla, and that's why the shares were lower, all.

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: Right there, Okay, just putting it all together. Every whatever

89
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: Elon wants to do, I think a lot of his

90
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: investors will just follow right along with them.
