Kensha joins us here 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: senior consumer Product Scannels for Bloomberg Intelligence. He's based down 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: in Princeton. And again, Scarlett, you probably know my feeling here. 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: I am a Coca Cola person. I identify as a 12 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: Coca Cola person. But you put a Pepsi from me. 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: I'm just as happy. I really don't care my brand 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: lowth He's pretty low there. They're both good. Hey, Ken, 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: talk to us about Pepsi. What do we see in 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: the earnings report? 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 4: A Hi? 18 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 5: Well, so the PepsiCo report was pretty encouraging if you're 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 5: bullish on the story here. The first quarter showed good progress. 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 5: Top line volumes. International business was particular really strong. I 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 5: guess the key takeaway here for investors why they're looking 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 5: at it positively today is because their efforts to have 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 5: a better balance between volume and pricing really came through 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 5: in the quarter. Companies. Critics of the company over the 25 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 5: last couple of years have been saying, look, you know, 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 5: all your sales gains are coming on at all, but 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 5: most of your sales gains is driven by price increases. 28 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 5: And so they made a real effort. They've reduced prices 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 5: in most of their snack lines. They're also adding a 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 5: lot of innovation and through delay, North America combined with Quaker, 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 5: put up a one percent volume game. That doesn't sound 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 5: like a huge deal, but relative to declientes, it was 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 5: a positive sign. So all in all, it was a 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 5: positive sign, and I think it showed our signaled that 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 5: they're going to hit their targets for the year, at 36 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 5: least so far. 37 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 6: So when you talk about PepsiCo making its products more affordable, 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 6: cutting costs, that was something that Elliott Investment, the activist investor, 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 6: had been put pushing PepsiCo to do. We know that 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 6: Elliott built a steak in Pepsi last year. Things are 41 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 6: now moving in the direction that Elliott wants to see. 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 6: What other changes do you anticipate PepsiCo making. 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question, Scarlett I mean, it's really 44 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: what the focus was from Elliott was improve the margins 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 5: and particularly at the food area, the food and so far, 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 5: you know, it seems to be making progress. Now it's 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 5: still unfolding. Will be the benefits of all this innovation 48 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 5: and productivity that they're targeting. Now, keep in mind that 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 5: it's happening not in a vacuum. It's happening with oil, 50 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 5: you know, rising aluminum prices going up, and so that 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 5: was a big focus of the call also where Animals said, look, 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 5: you know, you have your plan. It seems to be 53 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 5: moving well, but it's the monkey being We're throwing a 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 5: monkey wrench into the works here with oil prices and 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 5: so on spiking up. And they said, look, you know 56 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 5: we hedge the six months, We've probably covered their supply 57 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 5: chains in good shape. There might they hinted at possibly 58 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 5: raising price end of the year if they have to, 59 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 5: But I think right now, if you're an activist, you 60 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 5: have to be pretty pleased with the balance of the growth. 61 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 5: And like I said, it's the international, it's the beverage, 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 5: it's the food. All performed well in the quarter. 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: And ken with a lot of your companies. I look 64 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: at the dividend yield. I look at the dividend growth 65 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: because that's such a big part of the investment story 66 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: for some of the some of your names. So for 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: PEPs I got a dividend yield of three point six percent. 68 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: They've been growing their their dividend. What is their dividend policy. 69 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: Uh, they're committed to growing a dividend and they have 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 5: a pretty much, you know, a mid single digit rate. 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: They selectly buy shares back, they reinvesting. You know, they 72 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 5: really do a balance capital allocation strategy. And I would 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 5: I would suspect that's going to continue. I mean a lot, 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 5: a lot of the shareholders like those total returns. 75 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, they certainly do. 76 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 6: I mean that's why you go into consumer staples right 77 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 6: before that steady payout Ken, before we let you go, 78 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 6: I got to ask you about what happens when it 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 6: comes to pricing. Obviously, these companies, these consomer package companies 80 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 6: are facing higher expenses with fuel costs going up, Logistics 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 6: becomes a lot more expensive as well. What did PepsiCo 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 6: say about pricing, about inflation at how it sees prices 83 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 6: moving forward? 84 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: Well, they never candid and they said they said, look, 85 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: you know, inflation is likely to pick up at the 86 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: end of the year. And while we would certainly like 87 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 5: to target more productivity of gains to upset a lot 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 5: of that, the hedging programs I mentioned before, and the 89 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 5: price mix is improving some of the acquisitions they've made 90 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 5: recently are really going to move that up high higher. 91 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 5: But they said, look, you know, in between the lines anyway, 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 5: you know, pricing is not off the table just because 93 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 5: we took it, you know, early this year as part 94 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 5: of this plan. So I think it's kind of I 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 5: will wait and see it, as most companies are taking 96 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 5: right now. I mean, no companies really immune to some 97 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: of these inflationary pressures out there, and this is no exception. 98 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 2: All right, Ken great stuff as always, Ken Chase Senior 99 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: Consumer Products aannels for Bloomberg Intelligence down there in Princeton, 100 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: New Jersey. We've been talking a lot about substituting private 101 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: label for brands as you don't do. 102 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 6: That for soda, no, because soda has a very specific 103 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 6: taste and people are so beholden to their favorite baction. 104 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: I just thought of that today, thought, just Kendemin, I'm not. 105 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 7: Doing it for soda, for Seltzer, but not for soda. 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: Yes, good point. Good point. So you're right, maybe that's 107 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: a lifetime of brand building. 108 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you, mad man. 109 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly exactly.

Have you ever flown Spirit? I have not 116 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 6: because you are based out of Newark, So. 117 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: I am captive to United. That's why I'm a million milers. 118 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 7: What they can I know you're proud of this discusion. 119 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: I got the medallion, I got the little thing. 120 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 6: Little Lamilt comes out to visit him every time he 121 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 6: steps foot in a United Jet. 122 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: YEP bottle champagne, which I gave to my seat mates, 123 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: and SI will drink champagne. 124 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 8: Well. 125 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 6: The reason I ask about Spirit is because it now 126 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 6: looks like it's headed ever closer to liquidation. SID Philip 127 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 6: is our global U correspondent for aviation. 128 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 7: It talks about all the airlines. SID. Spirit is already 129 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 7: in bankruptcy protection. 130 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 6: It's still operating, What does it mean if it's at 131 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 6: risk of being liquidated. 132 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 8: So Spirit in its second bankruptcy in just about a year, 133 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 8: and so what it means is that the assets of 134 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 8: the airline that sort of the few assets that are 135 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 8: remaining those sort of go away, and the airline sees 136 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 8: is to operate. Essentially, their current plan was to shrink 137 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 8: down from to about seventy five eighty planes and sort 138 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 8: of operate only the profitable routes. But then with jet 139 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 8: fuel prices soaring, it no longer is even viable to 140 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 8: do that. 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: Is there any scenario like there? Remind us there was 142 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: an M and A scenario involving Spirit Allianes. What was that? 143 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 8: So there was an M and A that that was scuttled. 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 8: So Spirit Airlines was set to be acquired by Jet 145 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 8: Blue and that was scuttled by the Biden administration back 146 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 8: in twenty twenty four. 147 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: We all said it at the time, you got to 148 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: let these guys merge. Otherwise these thing's going it's going 149 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: to be gone, and then you can have all these 150 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: markets with no coverage. 151 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 8: Absolutely, and the low cost carriers have been hit harder, 152 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 8: particularly because United and Delta have been able to cash 153 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 8: in on the premium travel demand, and that's sort of 154 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 8: really given them a buffer that Spirit and others haven't 155 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 8: really been able to sort of tap into where they 156 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 8: aren't able to sort of get those that United and 157 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 8: Delta have and that's really been something that's been a 158 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 8: really big pain point for. 159 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 6: The Okay, so the government prevented jabluin Spirit from getting together. 160 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 6: But then I remember that we reported that Frontier and 161 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: Spirit reheld discussions to merge. 162 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 7: What happened to that one? 163 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 6: And the spreadter need to team up with someone to 164 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 6: get through this period. 165 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 8: So Frontiers in a slightly better financial position than Spirit, 166 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 8: and so they were not as desperate for a deal 167 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 8: as Spirit was, and that sort of those talks fell apart, 168 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 8: and they sort of revived those talks back in twenty 169 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 8: twenty five, and they sort of walked away without a deal. 170 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 8: And so now we're looking at Spirit eala and second 171 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 8: bankruptcy and still got big piles of debt, unable to 172 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 8: unlock cash from creditors, and this could be the end 173 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 8: for the airline. 174 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: All right, So what is this? What's just the general 175 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 2: update about We know that premium like lots of this economy, 176 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: the premium consumers spend the premium money on a premium stuff. Okay, 177 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: Now the other part of the k that's where some 178 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: of these regional airlines cater to. What are we seeing 179 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: there is that? I mean, are they seeing a pullback 180 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: and travel? 181 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 8: So we haven't really heard much about the impact of 182 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 8: the war and the rising prices and then consequent rise 183 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 8: and ticket prices on demand yet because as the airlines 184 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 8: sort of talked through their earnings and talk about how 185 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 8: demand is looking as they get I mean, we still 186 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 8: we've seen jet field prices double more than double in March, 187 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 8: and so that was really a big trigger for a 188 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 8: lot of airlines where you have to charge more for 189 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 8: a seat, but then you don't charge too much more 190 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 8: because people will not book. And that's the really the 191 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 8: chicky balancing curve for the airlines. 192 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 7: If Spirit goes away, who benefits. 193 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 8: The rest of the industry does, because there's one less 194 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 8: player to compete against, there's one less ultra because I mean, 195 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 8: the low cost carriers compete with each other to offer 196 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 8: the lowest fares. Because those customers aren't really typically sticky, 197 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 8: then out sort of looking then they're not a million 198 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 8: milers and so they're looking to sort of try and 199 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 8: sort of find the best deal, the best fare that 200 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 8: they can get. And that's really the chicky part for 201 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 8: the ultra locus carriers because you need to get those 202 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 8: customers with low fares every time, and sometimes those loafers 203 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 8: come with high costs for the airlines. 204 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: All right, sid, thanks so much, appreciate it, said Philip 205 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: Covers all the aviation stuff for Bloomberg News. And you 206 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: just we kind of knew it at the time. 207 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, it felt like you let this. 208 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: Deal go through, let them be jet Blue's problem, you know, 209 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: and let them figure it out. 210 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 6: And jet Blue itself is kind of looking for some 211 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 6: kind of partner right now, right, I mean, there were 212 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 6: reports that Jeblu was looking to, you know, again, look 213 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: for some kind of m and a partner to kind 214 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 6: of get through this difficult period because unlike Delta or United, 215 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 6: it's not a premium player. 216 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 7: It's trying to move in that direction, but it'll take 217 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 7: a while. 218 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: And jet fuel doubling, I don't know how you deal 219 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: with that. I mean, that is just no one anymore. Again, 220 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: they don't and if you don't own a if you 221 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 2: don't own a refinery like Delta right.

We had the big money center banks report 228 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 2: earlier this week, and now we're starting to hear from 229 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: some of the regional banks. Today we had US Bank Corp. 230 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: They came in the topp the estimates with revenue climbing 231 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 2: nearly five percent, the stocks trading off about one point 232 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: eight percent today. It's up. That was tes I have 233 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 2: it Tesla up it there, then that's stocks trading on. 234 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: Let's check out with Hermit Chant, senior analysts for US 235 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: Banks for Bloomberg Intelligence, talk to us about US Bank Corp. 236 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: What did you hear today and how representative do you 237 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: think it's going to be for some of the other 238 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: regional banks. 239 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, US Bank Corp, despite the stop being down today 240 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 4: really showed strong results and reverberated what we've heard from 241 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: the largest banks that reported early in the week. I 242 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: would say universally, the regional and the largest banks. I've 243 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: talked about strong loan growth, and it's been more broad based. Right, So, 244 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: last year a lot of the growth was from areas 245 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: like private credit and other non bank financial institutions. For 246 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: this year, to start out, at least in the first quarter, 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: broad based activity. US Bank talked about growth in areas 248 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: like energy, customers, food and beverage, and customers really using 249 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 4: those new borrowings to fuel cap X and M and 250 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 4: A activities. So those are actually all really positive and 251 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 4: demonstrates that the economy's are really firm. Footing the fact that. 252 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 6: The Federal Reserve has not cut interest rates like a 253 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 6: lot of people had wanted and had anticipated, how is 254 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 6: that affecting the profitability of loanmaking right. 255 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 7: Now for these banks? 256 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. Heading into this year, a 257 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 4: lot of the banks were expecting two rate cuts and 258 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 4: that was baked into their twenty twenty six guidance. Now 259 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 4: the market's saying no rate cuts. So for banks that 260 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 4: are maybe like a bit more sensitive to interest rates, 261 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: you know, that's probably on the margin positive for the 262 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: net interest income trajectory of the top line trajectory. But 263 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 4: those rate cuts that were previously contemplated were sort of 264 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 4: towards the back end of the year, so not it's 265 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: it's a marginal benefits, but not a Gangbusters hit one 266 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: way or the other. 267 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: One of my favorite regional banks has always been Key Corp. 268 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: How did I know they had some numbers here? How 269 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 2: did that look? 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? Key Corp was was really strong. They posted for 271 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 4: them their highest first quarter investment banking revenue period for 272 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 4: and so that's really driven by some of the build 273 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 4: out that they've done in the investment banking platform over 274 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: the years. They also mentioned really strong lending activity. I 275 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: mentioned Usbank Court talked about broad based commercial growth, Key 276 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 4: Corp seeing the same, and there was some really positive 277 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: commentary on that lending driving improved net interest income. So 278 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 4: that's flowing through. Gave better guidance for the full year 279 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 4: given the lending activity, and the stocks had a nice 280 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 4: jump today up one point two percent thus far in 281 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: the trading session. 282 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 6: Okay, so Key Corp reported, US Bank Corps recorded Citizens 283 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 6: also reported as well, that's talk marshally lower. Are any 284 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 6: of these names obvious acquirers or targets in the expected 285 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 6: consolidation that we are looking for among these regional banks. 286 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: That's right. 287 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 4: Expected consolidation is a good way to put it. U 288 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: S Spain Corp probably is the one that we think 289 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 4: is well positioned for that. They recently a couple of 290 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 4: years back by a California bank called Union Bank that 291 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 4: was previously owned by MUFG. The Japanese conglomerates continuing to 292 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: work out well for them. They highlighted California as a 293 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: strong area of growth. We expect potential for them to 294 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 4: really boaster that over time, even though they're really focused 295 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: on organic in the near term. Key Corp has mentioned 296 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: that there was some Bloomberg News reporting a couple quarters 297 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 4: ago that they were looking the potential to do a 298 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 4: deal in the Pacific Northwest, but Key Corpse management team 299 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 4: has sort of pooh pooed that over the past few quarters. 300 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 4: So we'll see. But I would say that they probably 301 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 4: don't have the currency to do a deal without it 302 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 4: being super deluded at this point. So it really is 303 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: dependent on your valuation, and US Bank Corp does have 304 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: that premium valuation to do a deal. 305 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 7: Herman. 306 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 6: A couple of years ago, we saw Silicon Valley Bank collapse. 307 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 6: We saw First Republic also get pushed under as well, 308 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 6: there was this mismatch of assets and liabilities where a 309 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 6: lot of these banks held super long dated treasury on 310 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 6: their books thinking that they're safe, but then got caught 311 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 6: off sides when rates began rising. 312 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 7: Is that period over? I mean, are they all in 313 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 7: good standing at this point? 314 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, So that happened when when interest rates were near zero. 315 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: A lot of those securities are maturing quarter after quarters, 316 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 4: so a lot of that have burned down off the 317 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: balance sheets. And really there were two issues, right, You 318 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: had those unrealized losses, but then what exacerbated it was 319 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 4: the deposit outflow, the deposit flight front from banks like SVB, 320 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 4: when you know, luminarias like Peter Dial told everybody and 321 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 4: and they're in the community, in the in the Silicon 322 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 4: Valley community to take their deposits out of SVB. So 323 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: that really was the impetus of the demise for that 324 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 4: particular institution. So we're not we are way out of 325 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: the woods in terms of deposit volatility. That's nothing. We're 326 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 4: not seeing that and haven't seen that for over a year. 327 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 4: And then the unrealized losses are continued to burn down. 328 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: So BIGS are a really good standing on that front. 329 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 4: We think that risk is over at this point. 330 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: All right, Herman, thanks so much. Appreciated as always, Herman 331 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 2: chand senior analyst covers all the US banks.

I was just going 339 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: to keep Corp, you know, on a trailing twelve month 340 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 2: basis up about fifty percent of the stocks had a 341 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: nice run, and I see similar type returns for some 342 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: other I mean citizens on a trailing twelve month basis 343 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: that stocks of eighty percent.

Matthew talk to 352 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: us about Madison Air and this IPO, big big number. 353 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: Yes, well, Paul, I know you said this isn't an 354 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: AI IPO, and that is true, but there is an AI. 355 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 7: Connection sure of course. 356 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 3: So this is a company in the industrial sector. They 357 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 3: sell they're sort of specialized HVAC so cooling systems, ventilation systems, 358 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: things like that. A lot of their business is to 359 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 3: commercial industries and so data centers are a part of that. 360 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: It's something that comes up in their pitch to investors, 361 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 3: and it's something that has come up repeatedly in my 362 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 3: conversations with investors as a reason this company has gotten 363 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: the valuation that it has and the reason it's been 364 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 3: able again to raise more than two point two billion dollars, 365 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: the biggest industrial IPO here in the US since nineteen 366 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 3: ninety nine. 367 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 6: So that's interesting because it's an industrial company, but it's 368 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 6: got that connection to data centers. So it's kind of 369 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 6: straddling both worlds, the high tech world and the growth 370 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 6: that we get from AI and data centers, but also 371 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 6: the fact that it's a real business that generates real 372 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 6: cash flow and is profitable, and people like that in 373 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 6: this kind of environment. 374 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: Yes, and that's something again that has come up with 375 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: investors is that this is sort of a picks and 376 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: shovels AI play. So, you know, think about the last 377 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: few months, the really choppy trading we've seen in companies 378 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: like Microsoft maybe rebounding a bit now, but names that 379 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: are trying to monetize AI directly. But the companies that 380 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 3: are selling to those companies, whether it's semiconductors, whether it's 381 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 3: AI compute, whether it's the physical products that go into 382 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: the data centers, may be seen as a little bit 383 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 3: safer from investors because you don't have to know exactly 384 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 3: what AI tools we're going to end up using. You 385 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 3: just have to trust in this idea that we're at 386 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: the beginning of a real boom here. 387 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: So the company saying in some of their remarks here 388 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 2: that they think the a lot of stuff is driving 389 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: growth for specialized air systems, like restoring, advanced manufacturing, data 390 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: center growth, all that kind of stuff. They think this 391 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 2: market's going to grow. 392 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: Yes, and yeah, so this is a a play not 393 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 3: just on data centers, but as you said, for example, 394 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 3: advanced manufacturing. They sell to you know, basically all all 395 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 3: kinds of commercial commercial plants that you can imagine. I 396 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 3: think it will be interesting to watch that reshoring piece 397 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: in particular, because that's something that you know, Trump has 398 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: set out to do President Trump with his tariffs. That 399 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,239 Speaker 3: being said, you had some peer companies like Modine and 400 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: they sell cooling systems for data centers. They fell six 401 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 3: point one percent yesterday because of concerns about some changes 402 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: to the tariffs on metal. And I think it will 403 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: be interesting to see how investors process this when this 404 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 3: company goes public, what their level of exposure is there. 405 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 6: My understanding of Madison Era is that it was formed 406 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 6: through a series of acquisitions I believe thirteen of them 407 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 6: since twenty seventeen. 408 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 7: So a lot of them. A lot of investors talk. 409 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 6: About this being kind of a roll up of ventilation 410 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 6: infiltration companies. Is the indication that this is a strategy 411 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 6: Medicine Air will continue to build on as a publicly 412 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 6: traded company. 413 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: Well, so, yes, I do think this is sort of 414 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: their broad their broad strategy, and it's sort of the 415 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 3: broad strategy of Madison Industries, which is their parent company. 416 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 3: You know again, something that I've heard from investors is 417 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: that this is kind of a target rich environment. There 418 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 3: are a lot of PE backed companies that are are 419 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: still private in the sort of data center product space 420 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: in HVAC in particular. And now you've got the IPO 421 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: mar opening up a little bit, You've got hunger from investors, 422 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 3: so some of them going public, but also probably a 423 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: lot of potential targets for a company like this. 424 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: Interesting here and you're reporting the company's founder, Larry gyees 425 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: ergeis he's going to set to control the company through 426 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: super voting stock. 427 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 7: An industrial company with super voting. 428 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: Stock, Isn't that interesting? We've seen it in media and 429 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: tech companies or the decades, and now even some of 430 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: the tech companies. Yeah, this is not meta. Was that 431 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: an issue at all for shareholders? 432 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: It's not something that came up. I mean again, he 433 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: is the founder of this the larger company, Madison Industries. 434 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 3: They're sort of a multi industrial company, and the structure here, 435 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: you know, you can you can think of this as 436 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 3: still being a subsidiary in a sense of Madison Industries, 437 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: because I think it's Geese will actually control the company 438 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: through his company Madison industry. So not to over complicate 439 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: things there, but you know, you have this larger company 440 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: that has a track record of success, and I think 441 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 3: investors actually like that connection there. Now again, we'll see 442 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: what happens when they go public. 443 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 6: We've talked a lot about the commercial business data centers, 444 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 6: manufacturing that exposure to that kind of growth segment very quickly. 445 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 7: There is a residential part of this business, isn't there, Yes, and. 446 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 3: That it's about a third of their business. It's an 447 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: area that's been a problem for some publicly traded peers 448 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 3: like Carrier. Now this company is more specialized. It's not 449 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: like basic home HVAC systems, So maybe that'll win the 450 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: more points with investors. 451 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: All Right, very good, interesting story, matt Matthew Griffin, thank 452 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: you very much.
