What are we looking 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: at here? Is dick cat bounce? Is the bottom? Is it? 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: You know we're setting in some kind of support here, 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Dan Jenter, he's a CEO, ce IO and chairman, so 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I guess he kind of runs the whole place. R 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: and C Genter Capital Management. Uh, Dan, thanks so much 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: for joining us here. When you see it, you know, 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: a couple of past days like we've seen, you know 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: where you actually has some green on the screen in 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: the midst of double digit declines in the ESMP and NASDAC. 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: How are you looking at this equity market here? Well, look, 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: I think what we're saying is a market that's generally 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: trying to find its bottom. Frankly, Uh, you know, even 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: though we can make a you can make a good, 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: good case that if you're really wanted to have a capitulation. 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: Certainly we could go off another five, maybe ten percent, 22 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: but I don't see it at this point. I think 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: we'll hold probably a down five if we don't hold somewhere. 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: And this as a basing battern, and I think it's 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: a pretty normal transition, frankly, of which you typically see 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: when you know they when the FED and other indicators 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: keep telling you what's going to happen. It's always amazing 28 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: to me that people are still surprised when it does, 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: but then when they finally digest it and realize that 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: multiples are going to have to adjust. You if you're 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: in a situation where you have rising inflation, you have 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: rising interest rates, it's gonna have pushed down GDP, it's 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: gonna push down earnings, and multiples need to adjust. It's 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: pretty well stock valuation one oh one. And and now 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: we've seen that adjustment. I mean, we're at much fairer 36 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: p s right now based on this economic condition. I 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: think we're in a basing pattern where people should be 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: buying into this um. I like buying into the big 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: days of weakness, especially when there's weakness for no reason 40 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: you I find that to be an effective deployment of assets, 41 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: and so I think people should you know, they may 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: not want to jump ahead first, but putting some toes 43 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: in the water here is a good thing to do. 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: Looking at the next certainly two to three years of 45 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: not frankly the next year, I guess the concern is valuations, 46 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: or the concern was valuations. Are you um are you 47 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: happy that we've gotten down to um a level that 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: is more consistent with history of still pretty strong on 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: the s and P five hundred frankly pe of twenty 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: and change, and especially looking at a FED that's going 51 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: to raise what another hundred hundred fifty basis points. Well, look, 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: I think that you're right from the standpoint that I 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: truly do believe in the old adage that you can't 54 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: fight the FED. I mean you, we have definitely transitioned 55 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: from where we had a tailwind to a cross wind. 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: So you're look, maybe it's not a direct hurricane force 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: head wind, but you're definitely fighting you know, a strong 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: cross when if you will, that is making people DVD 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: off course and it's harder to stay on course. But 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the but I think the valuations now are are at 61 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: points that you can get you can get back into 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: the game, if not as a short term trader, but 63 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: if you're indeed looking at I normally say two to 64 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: three years, I like to look at the three year 65 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: time rising now I think it's much stronger, and even 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: looking at one year, because if you look at where 67 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: the valuations are, I agree, from an SMP standpoint, you 68 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: could say at twenty, you know, based upon you know 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: somewhere at two thirty on the SMP and two fifty 70 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: next year in the SMP, you know you're above the 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: fifteen five long term average. But but bear in mind 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: interest rates were still a lot higher when you're looking 73 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: at that long term average over the last fifteen twenty years. 74 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: And when you look at where we are, I mean, 75 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: look at the Russell one thousand value is right now 76 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: down to a right and it's down from sixteen too, 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: that's normally about fifteen five. Even the Russell growth, which 78 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: was stratospheric, is at seven and that's down from from 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: thirty point six, and it's averages one. So value stocks 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: are still undervalued, road stocks are now fairly valued, and 81 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you're gonna time the last 82 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: five of this. He then many of our listeners that 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: they look at their portfolio, probably a big, big chunk 84 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: of it is made up of some of those big 85 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: cap technology names. And if I think look at Amazon 86 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: down thirty year to date, Microsoft Apple fifteen down year 87 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: to date, do I get back into those names? Do 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: I add to my positions there? How do you think 89 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: about some of those you know, big big cap tech 90 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: names have been so good for so long, Well, for 91 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: those names, I would have a standard position, and so 92 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: that that to me is somewhere two and a half 93 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: or three percent position. You're even though they pulled back dramatically, 94 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: you're still dealing at at very high peas And the 95 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is you're just looking at slower 96 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: growth and and those dynamics you just can't overcome. I mean, 97 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: if the if the economy is going to grow slower, 98 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: if GDP is going to be slower, and financing costs 99 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and capitalization rates are higher, then earnings come down. You know, 100 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: it's very straightforward. And if you're in that situation, I mean, 101 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: you can't can you cannot support a PEG ratio in 102 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: pe ratios that are at those stratospheric levels. Now, I 103 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: would not abandon those because I believe that Frankly, there's 104 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: just so much popularity, there's so much momentum. People aren't 105 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: going to abandon those names, and they'll probably always sell 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: at a premium pe. But I don't want to be 107 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: over I don't. It's not a bargain basement. You know, 108 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: there's not a garage sale going on here, so I 109 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't be overweighting the position. But but having you know, 110 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: somewhere at three percent average position, I think, is that's 111 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: where we are with those names. Just quickly, you've been 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: around r n C genders. What's the origin story? If 113 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: you can wrap it up for us in thirty seconds? Sure, 114 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we we really started in you know, really 115 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: back before the Pension Reform Act and before investment advisors 116 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: really were popular, just really in a frankly a pretty 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: fundamental position that we felt it was better to provide 118 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: investment advice for fees versus commissions. And so we started 119 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: on a pretty simple premise that you know, we felt 120 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: if we were charging fees based on assets, which is 121 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: now popular, that everybody benefited as the portfolios went up, 122 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: versus charging transaction fees. And we were kind of one 123 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: of the first to do that, certainly first in l A. 124 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: And it's worked out well for us. Yeah, at the 125 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: avant garde, because that's then swept across the industry back 126 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: when I started working on the street in the nineties. 127 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: All right, Dan, great stuff, Dan Genter, CEO of RNC 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Genter Capital Management. When I look at oil, I guess 129 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: I've got kind of a fixed supply. I've got a 130 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: reopening global economy, So I guess that means demand is 131 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: going up, and like any commodity, that should push price 132 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: of oil higher. That being said, I'm still surprised, maybe 133 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: shocked to see w A crew did a hundred and 134 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an ounce. So let's bring in an expert 135 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: maybe explain it to us a little bit better than 136 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: my simple analysis. Fernando Valley, senior analysts for Bloomberg Intelligence. 137 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Fernando again, w t AC crudit hundred fifteen dollars. I'm shocked, 138 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: slash surprised. Should I be? Well, if you if you 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: wondered if there was any risk from the Chinese lockdowns 140 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: priced into under a two hundred dollar oil, Uh, you've 141 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: now found out that there was significant pressure. So as 142 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: we as soon as we hear there is an easing 143 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: of lockdowns in Shanghai, both Brent and that we take 144 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: off and uh, you know, we talked about how Russian 145 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: supply was going to fall because of sanctions, and we're 146 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: starting to see that even though Europe and Asia are 147 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: still purchasing Russian energy, just the lack of of capital 148 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: and equipment and services from the Western providers has already 149 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: led to a drop off. We also talked about how 150 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: production in the US is we want to struggle to 151 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: catch up because we don't have the people, we don't 152 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: have the equipment, We don't even have to say to 153 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: really get to the levels of the that we would 154 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: need to balance the current demand. Well, and it seems 155 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: like the industry just isn't willing to get um to 156 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: put as much capex as would be necessary in to 157 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: ramp up production, only to have their legs cut off 158 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: as soon as this thing gets the equilibrium again. Exactly, 159 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: it's it's difficult to make a five to seven year 160 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: decision on on building new facilities and making the necessary 161 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: growth in your company if you don't think that that 162 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: scenario is going to continue for for such a long 163 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: period of time. And you have to remember shale didn't 164 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: really make a lot of free cash flow for the 165 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: past fifteen years. This is the first they're they're expected 166 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: to make as much free cash flow in two as 167 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: they've done for the past fifteen years combined out. Uh. 168 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: And so when you put that into perspective, they're really 169 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: paying back their initial investments and what brought us to 170 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: being close to being energy independent, although we're not technically 171 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: energy and dependent as of today. So, Fernando, how about 172 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: OPEQUE plus UM talked to us about production? If OPEC 173 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: plus say, hey, we wanted to increase production by ten 174 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: or does it have the capability to do that? Uh? 175 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: It does, and but they don't really have the will. 176 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: And the question is for how long can they increase 177 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: productions for that by that amount? H Saudi Aramco has 178 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: talked about increasing production to twelve to thirteen million barrels 179 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: a day by six. It does take time, especially to 180 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: grow at that magnitude. They're currently producing closest nine million 181 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: barrels a day of crude oil UM. They could probably 182 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: go as high as ten to ten and a half. Uh. 183 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: And they are the largest one on that growth. And 184 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: then the other ones have political issues. UH. Your Irax, 185 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: your Irans that they could raise production significantly on an 186 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: absolute level, but they have have their own issues guaranteeing 187 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: the security or sanctions the kids to be wrong. You know, 188 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: we've heard a number of people Paul, you and Tom 189 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: were talking yesterday, I think to Bill Smead Yep down 190 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: in Phoenix, and he was saying he loves oil producers 191 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: right now because they're priced at seventy dollars a barrel, 192 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: and obviously we're trading far up above that, at least 193 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: in t I terms, I think one fifteen right now. 194 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: I also saw Marco Kolanovitch JP Morgan, who was voted 195 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: the number one Equity Links strategist in II last years. 196 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: That's a good bump for his bonus, right. He recommended 197 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: using recent weakness and oil and energy aims to add 198 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: exposure there as well. Are you starting to see that 199 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: as a consensus, Fernando, Yeah, it seems like, well, the 200 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: there's a return to oil, and especially against some of 201 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: the earlier bell weathers in the sector tech and retail, 202 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: especially as that sectors that weaken, Oil has come back 203 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: into preference. And when you can are the free cash 204 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: that they are generating, and that most of those uh 205 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: that free cash was being reverted to shareholders. It is 206 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: a compelling UH distribution yield that dwarfs what the SMP 207 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: is currently offering. So where do you think oil gets 208 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: too and over what time frame? Or do we still 209 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: have more to move higher with the crewed I think 210 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: in the current conjecture, yes, it remains a question of 211 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: what the U S does with rates and how demand reacts. 212 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: I think ultimately we are major concern is that higher 213 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: a combination of higher rates and inflation will have a 214 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: significant impact on emerging market demand and we're starting to 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: see some of those cracks in the horizon. That's probably 216 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: still in the second half of the year UH, but 217 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: we think there's room to run through the summer, especially 218 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: as the northern hemisphere gets into its high demand season, 219 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: and that could be north of one UH for for 220 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the w T. I what happens if China UH let's 221 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: up on the lockdowns. We're seeing I think fewer infections 222 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: intra community and there's a lot of talk anyway about 223 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: the fact that the party needs to to let up 224 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. Is that gonna spur the demand side 225 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: big time? Yes? Again, if we all return to the 226 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: to the to the our usual situations. Yes, the big 227 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: question there is supply chains because regardless of UH returning 228 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,119 Speaker 1: to to normal tomorrow, we still had a massive destruction 229 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of ships that are parked outside of 230 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: ports in China. UH, and that will lead to that 231 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: cost inflation that we talked about. So again, in the 232 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: short term, yes, we think that that that could be. 233 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: That could mean higher demand as China reopens and experiences 234 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: something similar slightly less aggressive as we saw in the 235 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: US in Europe and we reopened UM. But our biggest 236 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: concern is that the real push from inflation will come 237 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: in the second half, and especially from emerging markets that 238 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: are already on the brink. I mean, you can see 239 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: the situations in Sri Lanka, in Brazil, UH, in Mexico 240 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: the fiscal situations are worse, and UH the protests are 241 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: are increasing over the concerns over food and fuel. So 242 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: I see, just you know, I guess it shouldn't surprise 243 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: that Saudi a Ramco is said to weigh an I 244 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: p O of its trading unit amid oil Boom. This 245 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: seems like a big deal, could be a big I pill, 246 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: like thirty billion dollars. What do you make of that 247 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: just a good opportunities to play there Fern end of Yeah, yeah, 248 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: I agree, but I think it's a it's an opportunity 249 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: to play. Clearly, sorry, doesn't need the capital right now, 250 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: but they are trying to increase, uh, the diversification of 251 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: their economy, and they're trying to get more capital into 252 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: the kingdom. Uh. You know, the only concerned with trading 253 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: having a separate trading arm from your integrated oil company 254 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: is that they ultimately play hand in hand. You're trying 255 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: to sell your cargoes and sometimes maximize the overall profit 256 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: by putting that profit in the integrated signs and sometimes 257 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: at the trading. So they'll have to make it very 258 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: clear as to how they'll uh what kind of Chinese 259 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: wall there will be between the two the two entities 260 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: in order to make this a viable offering to third 261 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: party investors. All right, interesting stuff again. W T a 262 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: cood Oil pushing one fifteen a barrel go figure. Fernando Valley, 263 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: senior analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence covering all things uh energy. 264 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's dig into these Walmart numbers. Stocks down 265 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: nine percent here. Inflation a big issue for the costs 266 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: there are in Sunda Rama. He's a senior equity research 267 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: analysts at cf are A. Joins us Auran. Thanks so 268 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: much for taking a time here. What's your takeaway from 269 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: these Walmart numbers? Yeah, yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, 270 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: it was it was a rare miss by Walmart. You know, 271 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: historically they've done Walmart has done a great job managing expectations, 272 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: so rarely do they miss on earnings. So when they 273 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: do miss like this, especially about this kind of magnets, 274 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, you tend to see a pretty big hit 275 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: to the to the stock price. But you know, the 276 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: big takeaway that from from from Learning's called today with 277 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: what I took away is that, you know a lot 278 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: of the issues that they pointed to was really on 279 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: the bottom line, and a lot of that can be 280 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: isolated to the specific quarter, and maybe some of that 281 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: will flow into Q two. So you know, and argue, 282 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, don't expect Walmart to continue missing like this 283 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: because like I said, they rarely do miss on the 284 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: bottom line, and and you know, historically during periods of 285 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: tough economic times, challenging times, Walmart his historically outperformed competition. 286 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: So you know that for for those reasons, we kept 287 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: our by rating today. We did drop our pull montagrat 288 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: price to one six two from but we kept our 289 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: bierrating on the stuff on the shares. The thing is, 290 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: if I look at you know, if I compare to 291 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: what happened at Home depot Um, which you know, the 292 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: beat was all driven by higher prices, they actually had 293 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: lower unit sales. It looks tough for Walmart since they 294 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: can't raise prices like that, or at least that's the narrative. 295 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true, but that's this is 296 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: what I hear. They can't raise prices until they absolutely 297 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: have have to. Um. Is that actually the case? Yes, 298 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: So the their average ticket prices in the US was 299 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: only up three percent. And you know, if you if 300 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: you assume that their costs cost instlation is probably of 301 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: double digits for them. So they only increased prices by 302 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: three percent. So there was a mismatch there. But they 303 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: know that mismatch on on the call today, and a 304 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: lot of that was due to fuel costs, because the 305 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: fuel really started the surge at the end of February, 306 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: and it was really tough for really a lot of 307 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: these retailers to manage that that those costs, and I 308 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: think now they're doing a little bit better job kind 309 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: of matching pricing and costs. We do expect more pricing 310 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: to flow into Walmart's income statements over the next few quarters, 311 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: because because outside the fuel the fuel aspect for you know, 312 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: things like food and other consumables and even general merchandise items, 313 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: Walmart is they're noting that they are passing those costs 314 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: through at least the cost increase. They're not offsetting the 315 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: margin impact, but the costs are being passed over to 316 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: the to the consumer, and it seems are in that well, 317 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: if I'm Walmart, if I can't pass costs increases through, 318 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: who can Because I mean, where are my customers generally 319 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: gonna go? I'm so big and have you know, just 320 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: so many items? Yeah, I mean, And I think that 321 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: kind of goes to show the state of the overall 322 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: consumer right now. You know, Walmart is probably over index 323 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: to the to the lower income consumer, and I think 324 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: we're starting to see some cracks among the lower income consumer. 325 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: You know. Walmart noted that some some consumers are trading 326 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: down some branded products to private label because that tends 327 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: to be a little bit cheaper. They haven't really seen 328 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: that among the middle income consumer the upper income consumer. 329 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: But you know, the longer inflation stays at this elevated level. Uh, 330 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's most most likely we're 331 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: going to see as more consumers changed their shopping habits 332 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: trade down from branded to private label shop and more 333 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: value aren't oriented stores like a Walmart or or a 334 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Costco or somewhere somewhere like that. Um, what do you 335 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: if you if you look across the retail spectrum, are 336 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: there companies that you think are going to be winners 337 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: and losers here? I mean, are there some that you 338 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: feel really strongly about? Yeah, I mean certainly all the 339 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: We really like the big box diversified retailers, So that 340 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: includes Walmart, Costco, Target as well. You know, not only 341 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: do we like them because they're a large big box 342 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: diversified retailer you know that also prides themselves on value, 343 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: but they also have these alternative business dreams that are 344 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: starting to pop up into their business. And it's things 345 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: like advertising, things like uh, first party and third party marketplaces, 346 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: fulfillment services, healthcare, financial services, all these things we're kind 347 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: of non existing for a lot of these companies. Five 348 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: ten years ago, and these are very uh passet light, 349 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: high margin businesses, and as these business continue to grow, 350 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: I think these retailers can continue to invest in the 351 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: core retail bus in an area like wages and so forth, 352 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: and continue to grow the bottom line. All right, good 353 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: stuff are in sunder. I'm senior equity research analyst at 354 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: cfre A breaking down the Walmart numbers. We had some 355 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: retail sales numbers come out this morning. Pretty darn solid 356 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: for the consumer there. Let's break it down, Angie Solanki, 357 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: National director of Retail Services for the United States for Colliers. 358 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: Angie again, you know, we kind of had the retail 359 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: sales numbers. They look pretty good to me. What is 360 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: your takeaway? I completely agree with you. Um, there's a 361 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: lot of resiliency that we're seeing, and so as you stated, 362 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: sales are up, we saw an increase by seven percent 363 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: year over year, so that's incredible. I think what we're 364 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: really seeing right now is people are coming back to 365 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: work and there's been a nice healthy increase in the 366 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: apparel side, UM, where people are saying, hey, it's time 367 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: to kind of get back into some new clothes and 368 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: head on back into the office. Here. Even though it's 369 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: a shorter week, people still want to look good. Do 370 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: we not have to be concerned about savings rates? They've 371 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: dropped back below pre pandemic levels right now we're looking 372 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: at six point two percent and um. Goldman Sachs, chief 373 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: economist on hopsis today said that consumers are reaching for 374 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: leverage again. Um. Are we getting to that kind of 375 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: good old American place where we spend more than we make? 376 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: We are? Um? I think there's still a balance between 377 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: that because I think people are still you know, looking 378 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: at inflation, what's going on from more macroeconomics. But nonetheless, 379 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, they've been saving for quite a while now, 380 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: and so a little spend, not percent, but even just 381 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: more and spend from their perspective is not a bad thing. 382 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: I think we need to really look at how we're 383 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: taking the spend and where we're seeing some of those 384 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: increases that we look at, For example, the increase in 385 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: just spending restaurants, it's a nice healthy growth of two. 386 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: So andre we kind of had a mixed bag in 387 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: terms of the retail earnings today. Home Depot pretty good 388 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: to be able to pass along price increases, Walmart not 389 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: so much, and the stocks down about So as you 390 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: look at those two big, big retailers, how did you 391 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: think about that at vs. To be the consumer? You know, 392 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: I think it's just um, if you really take a 393 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: look at the consumer and their spends between Home Depot 394 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: and Walmart, Walmart definitely did see a little bit of 395 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: a softening. I just I think, in my opinion, what 396 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: we're seeing here is just a slight shift. I think 397 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: we're going to see that come back, you know, to spend. 398 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: You know, the shock of gas prices going up, you 399 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: know several weeks ago to uh, you know, the lack 400 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: of certain products. A lot of that takes into account 401 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: how we're spending or how consumers are spending. I think 402 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: it's just a a you know, a softening, but not 403 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: a trend that we're going to continue to see with Walmart. 404 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: What do you think which which retailers are going to 405 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: do the best with American consumers this year? I mean, Walmart, 406 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: call us Co, target, those those retailers that offer consumers discounts, 407 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: Are they going to be the strongest most? Definitely, grocery 408 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: is going to still be strong. Our mass merchandisers, the 409 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: names you just mentioned are going to be continue to 410 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: be strong. The dollar General and family Dollar brands are 411 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: going to continue to be quite strong as well. So 412 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: although we're seeing this um movement towards going back to 413 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: mass merchandising, buying in bulk, et cetera, that's where you'll 414 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: see the winners, but we're also continuing to see you know, 415 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: retail overall still gained momentum. I think this was a 416 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: really uh, you know, something important to for us to 417 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: take a look at. You know, NRF just mentioned that 418 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: US retailers announced nearly seven times as many store openings 419 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: as closing first quarter of this year. Interesting. So you know, 420 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: how about the grocery business there, Boy, when you talk 421 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: about inflation, a lot of the stories we see and 422 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: here are just extraordinary increases in food prices. How do 423 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the grocers kind of deal with that? You know, if 424 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: you if we think about the grocery segment, their margins 425 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: are you know, quite tight in terms of pre pandemic. 426 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean this is going back in my career almost 427 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. That was the talk about, you know, 428 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: how tight margins are in that sector. And so it's 429 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: really about volume, loyalty, consumer loyalty, etcetera. I think that's 430 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: just compounded where we are today mostly due to cost 431 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: in you know, the supply chain, in labor, cost um 432 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: and just doing business in general. So you know, in 433 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: order for grocers to continue to be UM successful and 434 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: albeit I'm not speaking of costco uh and in the 435 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: larger brands um in the math margins because they've seen 436 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: increases year over year around twelve UM. You know, these 437 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: grocers are still you know, looking out. Okay, how do 438 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: we differentiate, how do we get in front of the 439 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: consumer on a consistent basis, And that's why you're seeing 440 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: more and more you know, online shopping. UM, you know, 441 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: demand delivery, shortening that demand window from instead of same 442 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: day too in the next two hours. So we'll continue 443 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: to see that to just grab that loyalty share from 444 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: some of these consumers. All right, Angie, thank you so 445 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: much for that overview.
