1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us for this special 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: edition of Bloomberg Daybreak. US markets are closed for the 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: Independence Day holiday. I'm Nathan Hager coming up this hour. 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: They correctly predicted the artificial intelligence boom that led to 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: record highs for several tech companies this year. Now they're 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: back to assess whether this high tech bull has more 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: room to run or whether it's headed into bubble territory. 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: Joining us for the entire hour our Gene Munster, managing 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: partner at Deepwater Asset Management and web Bush Security, senior 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: equity research Channalyist Dan Ives. Gentlemen, thanks once again for 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: joining us for this special roundtable discussion on all things tech. 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: And Dan, I want to start with you because you 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: really have been out front on the bulcase for AI 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: over the last well really a couple of years now. 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: So here's what you had to tell us around this 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: time last fourth of July. 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: My opinion, it's a fourth in dust show revolution that's 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: playing out in front of our eyes. 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: This is the start of a new tech bull market. 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: Which is why we think second half of the year 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: at tech could be up fifteen, potentially twenty percent in 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: a much broader rally because of what's happening from a 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: growth perspective. I think it's AI is tip of the iceberg. 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: And since then, the magnificent seven stocks tracked by Bloomberg 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: are up fifty five zero percent on the total return 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: it dan, can these make a cap tech names keep 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: up that kind of momentum. 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 3: Look, it's nine pm. Still in this party, this AI 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: party that I believe goes to four AM. I mean 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: this is the start of a two year tech bull 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: cycle because it's something where it's the multiplier for every 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: dollar spent on in vidio chip, there's an eight to 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: ten multiplier across software, across infrastructure, across the rest of 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: the tech. That's why this is a nineteen moment, not 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: a ninety ninety nine movement. Get out the popcorn. We 36 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: should detect will market continues. 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: So let's bring you in on this gene. Here's what 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: you had to tell us about big text potential this 39 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: time last year. 40 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 4: There's going to be some ebbs and flows in terms 41 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 4: of the stocks in the near term, but I think 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: that it will ultimately meet, exceed, will comfortably exceed all 43 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 4: of the hype. And the hype is just intense. I mean, 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: this universal optimism around it seems hard to believe, but 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 4: I think it is. There is substance behind it. 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: One year later, Gene is the substance still backing up 47 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the hype. 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: It is and that's the part that Dan and I 49 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: keep a close eye on as every quarter and in 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: the middle of the quarters, tracking how these companies are doing. 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: Is it ultimately exceeding meeting disappointing to what those bars 52 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: are and it's so far it's just been exceeding really 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 4: across the board in vidious numbers. Of course, is the 54 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: bell weather. Dan talks about the chips piece, that being 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 4: the front end of it and that multiplier effect, But 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 4: that's where I'm focused heavily on, is just what's going 57 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 4: on the hardware side. Micron had exceeded estimates guided inline 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 4: for the for the September core for their August quarter, 59 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: which in AI world that may be viewed as a 60 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 4: slight disappointment, but it did include an acceleration in revenue growth, 61 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 4: so it's going from eighty two to ninety percent. So, Nathan, 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 4: this is all intact and my view that the substance 63 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 4: will exceed the hype continues to be confirmed as we progress. 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Well let's talk a little bit more about in Nvidia, 65 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: because obviously there's been so much attention on the AI chip. 66 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Darling Dan, You've called Jensen Wong the CEO, the godfather 67 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: of AI. But godfathers often have targets on their backs. 68 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, how big a target is in Vidia right 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: now when it comes to the overall chip space. 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: Look, they're a target, but it's their world and everyone 71 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: else's pay rent in terms of where we are. I mean, 72 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: they're chips, they're GPUs and we've seen this across the 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: you know, across the board in our trips to Asia. 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: It's the new oil, the new gold, and at the 75 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: top of the mountain it's the godfather of AI, Jensen Nvidia. 76 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: In that mount rushmore of AI, along with the Della 77 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: and others that want to join. But this is they're 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: miles ahead of the competition. It'll EBB and flow a 79 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: year from now. I think we're looking at three four 80 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 3: trillion dollars markaps Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, And as Jeans 81 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: talked about throughout the year, it's far through the trees. 82 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: You don't get too caught up with sometimes the gyrations week, 83 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: tweet quarter quarter, it's where this is all going well. 84 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: We have seen gyrations just in recent weeks since the 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: ten for one stock split for Nvidia. Gene, where do 86 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: you see in Nvidia going at this point? 87 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: I mean that's exact exactly that this is just gyrations, 88 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 4: and it's I believe it's going higher. I think it 89 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: could go materially higher. And it comes to a basic 90 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: question that investors have to ask themselves, and it's do 91 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: you believe if you believe that we're in currently a 92 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: genitive AI inspired world that hasn't really taken impact on 93 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: most of our lives, but a generitive AI inspired world, 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: and if you believe that eventually that leads to artificial 95 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 4: general intelligence, which is a light year ahead of genitive AI. 96 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: And if you believe that superintelligence is somewhere on the 97 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: horizon five to ten, twenty years on the horizon, if 98 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 4: you believe that that is the future, which I hold those, 99 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: then in Vidia is going a lot higher in Vidia. 100 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: If AI works, in Vidia has to work. 101 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Speaking with Gene Munster, the managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, 102 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: and Dan Ives, senior equity research analyst at web Bush 103 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: Security joining us in studio Genus joining us via zoom, Dan, 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Where do you see the trajectory for in video? I mean, 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: you've talked a lot about how the run seems like 106 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: it has legs. What turns in video from the kind 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: of growth that we've seen over the last several months 108 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: to something more stability. 109 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: I mean, the use cases are just starting, so when 110 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: you look at numbers, the street is still behind where 111 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: the demand and where numbers actually go. So we could 112 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: go through intra court to people saying in type and 113 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 3: stock sell off, but it all comes down to demand 114 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: and we are still in from a baseball perspective, we're 115 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: in the top of the second, bottom of the first 116 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: in terms of where this is all heading, and they're 117 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: the only show in town in terms of those chips. 118 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 3: That's why I believe this is one where they continued 119 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 3: to defy show numbers that I think are jaw droppers, 120 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: and now the second, third, fourth derivatives hit across the 121 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: rest at tech. 122 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: Well, when it comes to that demand piece, Gene, I mean, 123 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: can in Nvidia meet the kind of demand that we've 124 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: seen from a lot of its enterprise customers. Can the 125 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: suppliers that Nvidia relies on meet that kind of demand? 126 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 4: The best thing The answer to simple answer is no, 127 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 4: because everything that Dan's talking about that this early innings 128 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: and we're just starting to build this infrastructure. Despite the 129 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 4: breathtaking growth that Nvidia has had, we're just still early 130 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: and we're going to see a whole new class. It 131 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: has been the hyper scalers, We're going to see a 132 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: whole new class of enterprisers. There's be industrial AI, there'll 133 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: be sovereign aim from countries, and so they will start 134 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: to be buying these chips, and ultimately I think it 135 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: will be very difficult for TSM to keep up with 136 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 4: in Nvidia's demand. It's a great thing for investors because 137 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: of course, when they have good numbers and they say 138 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: we can't keep up, that allows investors to kind of 139 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: continue to maintain a lot of their optimism. And so 140 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: I think it's actually okay that it'll be fine for 141 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: the stocks that and video can't keep up with this demand. 142 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 4: And I had a question for Dan, and you know, 143 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: when I think about this kind of evolution and what's 144 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 4: going on now is generitive AI, and then how would 145 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: you I describe there's a light year gap between generitive 146 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 4: AI and general intelligence, because this is where you and 147 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: I we're focused. The reason why we're not worried about 148 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 4: quarters is worth thinking two three years down the road. 149 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: And how do you think about that piece of it, 150 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: the general intelligence piece of it, relative or just in 151 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: terms of the applications that could present themselves and the 152 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: opportunity for wealth creation around. 153 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great question. And look, Gene, I think 154 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: from everything, all the work we've done around the world, 155 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 3: we think about sixty two percent of data that's never 156 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: been able to be cracked or used by enterprises and 157 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: ultimately by consumers is now going to get unlocked and 158 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: you're going to have on the consumer side hundreds of 159 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 3: apps while them through Apple. That is how most consumers 160 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: are going to interact with AI in a way that 161 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: they couldn't even imagine today. Enterprise is the same thing. 162 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: As much as it's scary sci fi twenty first century, 163 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: I think the reality is is that enterprises are finding 164 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 3: massive use cases ROI, and that's why we believe there's 165 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: a lot of these companies ten hours in earnings could 166 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: be fourteen to fifteen. 167 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: In terms of the advances that we could see. It 168 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: raises a lot of questions when you talk about a 169 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: leap from the kind of large language models that we're 170 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: seeing now to this general intelligence. That raises the questions 171 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: about whether artificial intelligence is advancing too fast for companies 172 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: and people to keep up with the moral questions as well. 173 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: I wonder how Gene you think about some of those questions, 174 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: as a lot of these big tech companies do try 175 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: to get to some of these massive leaps that used 176 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: to be science fiction, but do seem like they're becoming 177 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: that much closer to science fact. 178 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, the numbers are supporting it, just in terms of 179 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: the breath taking expansion and intelligence of these models. Just 180 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 4: to put some perspective around it, Open AI GPT three 181 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 4: had about one hundred and twenty billion parameters. They haven't 182 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 4: given the numbers for four to oh, but it's estimated 183 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 4: to be about a trillion. And that's kind of a 184 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 4: simple way to think about how smart the model is 185 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 4: is to look at the number of parameters and so 186 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: think of this as it's over a period of a year, 187 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 4: it's getting going almost a ten x improvement and intelligence. 188 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 4: So these are kind of growth curves that are that 189 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: we haven't seen. Makes the Internet growth look JV and 190 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: I think when it comes to the pauses, Dan and 191 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: I have talked about the benefits, the benefits for what 192 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 4: companies to continue to build into this, and I think 193 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: it's I appreciate your point about how can this be? 194 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 4: You know, what are the negative sides? And I would 195 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 4: just my view is this. You can debate a lot 196 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 4: of angles around how can this be negative or positive? 197 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: I think the one piece that cannot be debated is 198 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: it's going to get harder for people to distinguish what 199 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 4: is truth and fiction and all the ramifications around that. 200 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: I think you can You're going to see more tribalism. 201 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 4: I think people just because you're going to get progressively 202 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 4: easier to get fed what you want to hear. And 203 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 4: so I think that that side's the most actually concerning 204 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: part of me. And just think about like global stability 205 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 4: is just how AI is going to be used to 206 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: influence how people think. I'm not worried about robots shooting 207 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: people up or anything like that. I think it's this 208 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: is just about how AI influences how we think. 209 00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: Now. 210 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: I want to get deep into those questions as we 211 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: get deeper into the program. But Dan, just to close 212 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: out this segment, I mean, we've seen these massive multiples 213 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: for in Nvidia and other companies like it in terms 214 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: of you know, the levels the valuations that they're trading at. 215 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: Is that a new normal, these kinds of massive priced 216 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: earnings ratios that we're seeing for companies like in Vidia. 217 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: I mean, that's been what we've talked about. It's a 218 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: new normal. I think how many have missed this. They 219 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 3: go back to their historical DCF spreadsheets while they're in 220 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: their hibernation moons bears. It's a new error. 221 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: And we'll continue this roundtable discussion with Dan Ives of 222 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: Webbush and Gene Munster of deep Water Asset. Is this 223 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: special fourth of July edition of Bloomberg Daybreak continues. It's 224 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: twenty minutes past the hour. I'm Nathan Hager, and this 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: is Bloomberg. Welcome back to this special edition of Bloomberg Daybreak. 226 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager. US markets are closed for the fourth 227 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: of July, but we're breaking out the fireworks for a 228 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: high tech power hour. We're back with Dan Ives, senior 229 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: equity research analystic wet Bush Securities, and deep Water Asset 230 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: Management's managing partner Gene Munster, and guys, we've been talking 231 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot about Nvidia for obvious reasons. I want to 232 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: get into some other names. Though with exposure to the 233 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: AI space, there has been a lot of talk about 234 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Tesla as a potential AI play. Dan, I know you've 235 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: been bullish on this stock for quite some time. How 236 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: important is artificial intelligence going to be? Though, when it 237 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: comes to Tesla's longer term growth. 238 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 3: It's the wingepin to the bull case because I've never 239 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: viewed Tesla as an auto company. As a car company. 240 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 3: I viewed a disruptive tech and when we think about 241 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: autonomous and FSD, even when some of the things are 242 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: happening in China the next five, eight, ten years, the 243 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: biggest bowl case for Tesla is I could argue it's 244 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: probably the most undervalued AI name in the market relative 245 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: to use cases. That's what we're focused on. It's very 246 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: easy to focus on. Okay, they missed deliveries by x amount, 247 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 3: that's far as through the trees. We were focused on AI, FSD, 248 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: autonomous and I know gene Is does a ton of 249 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: work here, a ton of great work in terms of 250 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: autonomous FSD, and I think this to me is a 251 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: new It's really going to be in transformation that we 252 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: see in the auto industry. 253 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Well, gene is that central to how you see Tesla 254 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: right now. I mean there have been a lot of 255 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: promises over the years from Elon Musk about how the 256 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: data that Tesla's been able to collect from drivers over 257 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: the years is going to feed into artificial intelligence potentially. 258 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: Do you see that paying off anytime soon? 259 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 4: I do. I think it's going to pay off faster 260 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: than what people expect. I think we're going to have 261 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 4: a GPT moment when it comes to autonomy and you 262 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 4: look at the broader auto space, this has kind of 263 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 4: been a surprising year where there's been more investment. Late 264 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: last year we saw companies pairing back, some of the 265 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 4: big auto pairing back in their investment and autonomy. We've 266 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 4: seen more increases this year from some of the traditional ones. 267 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 4: But that said, Tesla still is far and above making 268 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: the most investments in this and really, as Dan mentioned, 269 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: this is really the central opportunity to invest in Tesla 270 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: is around what they're going to do with autonomy and 271 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: what I think is beyond So, Nathan, I think it's 272 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 4: going to come earlier than what we think. My prediction 273 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 4: is that if you're probably seven eight years old today, 274 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: you're never going to have the need to drive a car, 275 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 4: So I think within the next five years. I think 276 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 4: it could be as early as two or three years. 277 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 4: The legislation piece is going to be the big one 278 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: holding this up. And then one other piece to the 279 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 4: Tesla AI story. We're gonna hear more about it obviously 280 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 4: on August eighth when they show their three new vehicles, 281 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 4: and FSD is going to be a big part of 282 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 4: that lineup. But one other piece is related to optimists. 283 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 4: And it's almost like, I don't know how you feel 284 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 4: about this, Dan, about when you talk about optimists with investors, 285 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: it is if there's a sense like you almost lose 286 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: credibility to say that it has real potential because it 287 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 4: just seems so far far down the road. If something 288 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 4: good happens in Optimists, the stock doesn't move. But I 289 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: think that's another big piece. I love your take, Dan, 290 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 4: just on like, is optimists something that an investor should 291 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: care about today? Yeah? 292 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: Exactly Jane's point. If I bring that up in an 293 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: investor meeting, it's like the laughter just starts, Well, how 294 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: could you even talk about that? Yeah? 295 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean, because a lot of the thing is that 296 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, there have been a lot of promises over 297 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: the years for Elon Musk that autonomous is going to 298 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: pay off, There's going to be a ROBOTAXI. Obviously there's 299 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: the August eighth uh unveil that we're expecting, but there's 300 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: been a lot of expectation over the years and not 301 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: as much payoff arguably that many investors might be looking for. 302 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: But I would I think agree but also disagree because 303 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 3: the point is, there was a point where if you 304 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: said Tesla's going to be producing a million units per 305 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: year exactly, and gen Gene remembers, they'd be like, wow, yeah, 306 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: you must drink a lot of rose or had a 307 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 3: good Friday night. And now we're coast to two million, 308 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: and look at profitability when and today how much free 309 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: cash are they general relative to when they were losing money. 310 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: Now you could argue that maybe I'm looking at the 311 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: trees for the forest here. But you know, there has 312 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: been some reporting from Bloomberg Green in recent weeks that 313 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: Tesla looks like it's on track to lose you know 314 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: something that's been a bragging point for several years, it's 315 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: electric vehicle market majority in the US. Gene just to 316 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: that point about Tesla as its you know, base business 317 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: of electric vehicle manufacture, how much is it at risk 318 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: of letting the competition eat into its market share? 319 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: I think competitions in a much worse spot than people 320 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 4: understand right now. And I mentioned some of the step 321 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 4: forwards that some of these traditionalels have made around FSD 322 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 4: in the past six months, But if you look at 323 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 4: collectively what they've done over the past year, absent what 324 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 4: Volkswagen's recent investment in Rivian, they've taken five steps back. 325 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 4: They want to protect, largely protect their gas business, and 326 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 4: making an electric car is different than making a gas car. 327 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 4: This is the difference between making a lawnmower and a supercomputer. 328 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 4: And I think that what you will see is, even 329 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 4: though there's been some improvements in market share here and there, 330 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 4: their ability to scale at a profitable rate is going 331 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 4: to be challenging, and ultimately I think it's a catch 332 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 4: twenty two. I think Tesla is going to end up 333 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 4: with twenty twenty five percent market share of cars in 334 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: the US. It's down from where it's at today, but 335 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: that is unprecedented kind of market share. One in four 336 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 4: cars to be Tesla. But I think the reason why 337 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: is it will be the best car for the best 338 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 4: price given the features, and I don't think other car 339 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 4: companies are going to be able to largely keep up. 340 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: You're talking about total market share, not just EV's. 341 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: Total market share. 342 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: Correct. 343 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: I think that is I'm talking ten years down the 344 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 4: road here, but I think that that is something again 345 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: because they can scale at a profit way. The consumer 346 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: brand matters in cars a lot, but ultimately they want 347 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 4: the best value. 348 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: Speaking with Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management and Dan 349 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: Ives of web Bush Securities, and just to wrap things 350 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: up a little bit on Tesla, Dan, do you feel 351 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: like the company is back on track with Elon Musk 352 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: after all the rigmarole around x formerly Twitter, the pay package, 353 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: the reincorporation, all those questions that win Elon Musk's way, 354 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: Is Elon Musk still the guy for this company? 355 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 3: I mean, look, Tesla is Musk. Musk is Tesla. So 356 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: that's why went everything that in terms of that twilight 357 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 3: doing that we saw in Delaware with the compackage, even 358 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 3: though shareholders approved it. The point is that we're not 359 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 3: talking about Tesla being a trillion two trillion dollar markap 360 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: without Musk. I mean, you're talking about what I'd argue 361 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 3: Meyer and d Albert Einstein of course has flaws, has issues. 362 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: We all know it in terms of what comes with musk. 363 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: But when you look at autonomous, you look at when 364 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: you actually go through the factories, when you go through Austin, 365 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 3: you go through free Mont, you're in Nevada and you 366 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: see the actual battery factor. You go to China, you 367 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 3: have a different perspective what they've been able to do. 368 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: And then you look at all these other EV players 369 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: that have fallen. It's a graveyard. Because they talk a game, 370 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: big game, but as Gene said perfectly, the reality is 371 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 3: so much more difficult. And I think even in Detroit 372 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: they figured it out with Mary and what Farley's seen 373 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 3: as well, how hard is to produce evs profitably. 374 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: I want to shift to another company that both of 375 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: you follow very closely, that is Apple, And just to 376 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: stick with the RT official intelligence theme as well, we've 377 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: got Apple Intelligence rolled out at the latest Worldwide Developers Conference. Gene, 378 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 1: I know you follow this company very closely. Is Apple 379 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: back on track when it comes to AI? 380 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 4: They are? And this is just going to be the 381 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 4: sleeper AI story of the next three to five years, 382 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 4: and the AI piece isn't going to start impacting, probably 383 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 4: start until the December quarter. The streets having some nice improvements, 384 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: going from three four or five percent year VIR revenue 385 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 4: growth in the next few quarters seven percent next year. 386 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: I think that number is going to be closer to 387 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 4: ten percent plus revenue growth for twenty twenty for calendar 388 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 4: twenty five. So I think that effectively. And Dan, I've 389 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: seen your work on this. I think you've been just 390 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 4: spot on just as this is the best consumer facing 391 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 4: AI company. I think that's the language that you've used. 392 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 4: I agree with that. I think that when you think 393 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 4: about AI, a lot of the attention goes to Nvidia 394 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 4: kind of on the build side. When it comes to 395 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: consumer AI, Apple is best positioned, I think, to bring hardware, 396 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 4: software services. It's their taglines. But it's true too, nobody 397 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: brings it better together better. What that means is the 398 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: average person who today has little exposure to AI will 399 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 4: have a lot of exposure as this gets weaved into 400 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 4: the fabric of Apple's products, and that's a revenue opportunity 401 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 4: for opp. 402 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: And I'd say that was a drop the mic type 403 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: what Gene just said. And I know Gene talks about 404 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: like twenty percent, right, twenty percent of the world, like 405 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: consumers will interact with AI through Apple through an Apple device. 406 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: And it's so true because when you look at what 407 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: they did with WWDC if the initial reaction, remember most 408 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: in the street, they can't see forest through trees, right, 409 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 3: they've missed Apple from five hundred billion to three trillion, 410 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: they'll miss it three to four trillion. Oh, I didn't 411 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: see anything big. Yet you have savants like Gene and 412 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 3: then I I file in terms of like the way 413 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: I view to be in there. I'm like, this is it? 414 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 4: This? 415 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: Because every consumer AI is now goes through Cooper, Tino 416 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: and Apple. And guess what that means. That's gonna be 417 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 3: a whole other renaissance scroing term the AI driven upgrade 418 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: cycle on iPhone but also services those applications, hundreds and 419 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 3: hundreds that are gonna be built. That's for consumers. So 420 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: do you see how long? 421 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 4: How long does it take for as soon as they 422 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 4: turn on Apple Intelligence and these new phones come out, 423 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 4: how long does it take for the kind of the 424 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 4: word of mouth like people handing their phones to someone 425 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: else and showing the generative features on it? How long 426 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 4: do you think it takes to start to accelerate the 427 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 4: iPhone growth? 428 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's gonna be quick. I think I 429 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: think it's actually gonna be within the cycle, even going 430 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: into holidays season. But neither i'd say what Gene's talking about. 431 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: Let's say me and Gene are at dinner in the 432 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: six to one to two Okay, Okay, We're sitting there 433 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: and Gene show me his new iPhone sixteen is all 434 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 3: these and I'm like, oh, how do I? Oh no, 435 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 3: I can't do that if I have an iPhone fourteen 436 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: or an iPhone thirteen. So this is going to catalyze 437 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: the beginning of an AI driven supercycle. 438 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: How does that play out into some of Apple's smartphone 439 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: competitors like Samsung? 440 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 3: Apple plays chess, they play checkers. Because it goes back 441 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: to two point two billion iOS devices one point five 442 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 3: billion iPhones. I mean that's the difference between Apple and 443 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 3: everyone else. And I pose a question in Gene, Gene, 444 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: what's your view of when everyone goes to you or 445 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 3: the Apple they're late to the game, Like they're late 446 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 3: on AI. They've missed it. So what would you say 447 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 3: to that. 448 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 4: AI hasn't even started? How can you be late to 449 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: something that hasn't started and when I and I'll define 450 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: that is that typical person has heard probably heard about AI, 451 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 4: but actually doesn't use it. The reason why open Ai 452 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 4: is giving away this incredibly intelligent model by the world's 453 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 4: smartest foundation model for Apple is because the power of 454 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: their distribution and that piece is just that is a 455 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 4: tsunami that's getting unleashed that Apple has just been waiting 456 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 4: to turn onto the market. And so my sense is 457 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 4: that time is in Apple's favor. They waited, they put 458 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 4: together the right lineup for AI, and now they're going 459 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 4: to get a chance for everyday people to experience it. 460 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: And we're going to get more into where we are 461 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: in this artificial intelligence cycle. As we wrap up this 462 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: hour long big Tech roundtable with Gene Monster of Deepwater 463 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: Asset Management and Dan Ives of web Bush Securities. As 464 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: the special edition of Bloomberg Daybreak continues, it's thirty seven 465 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: minutes past the hour. I'm Nathan Hager, and this is 466 00:25:48,560 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberund Welcome back to this special edition of Blueberg Daybreak. 467 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hagar. US markets are closed for the fourth 468 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: of July holiday, and it's time to close out this 469 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: special high tech roundtable. We have been spending the entire 470 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: hour with Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, 471 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: and Wedbush Security senior equity research analyst Dan Ives and 472 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: Dan I want to pick up on a point that 473 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: Gene made at the end of the last segment that 474 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: you know, we're still at the start of this artificial 475 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: intelligence boom and how can companies be left behind if 476 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 1: we're just at the start of it. Do you see 477 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: companies that could be left behind in the AIM? 478 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 3: I think many. I mean I've met with many companies 479 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 3: They'll say AI thirty times in an hour, and I 480 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 3: leave the I leave the meeting being like, oh, it's 481 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: gonna be a rough, rude. So the point is like, 482 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: it's about the technology, the software engineers, the install base, 483 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 3: your sales execution. I mean, look, if someone told you 484 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: Dell was an AI six months ago, you say, no way, 485 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: what could oracle? So the stronger are going to get 486 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: stronger when the losers are going to be a glad 487 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 3: The niche players squeezed out of sales cycles don't have 488 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: the scale lead to the game lose. Software engineers. AI 489 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 3: engineers are rare right in terms of where we are today. 490 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: So I do think this is going to be one 491 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: like strong gets stronger, and that's just the reality. 492 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: What do you see things gene. Are there companies that 493 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: could be left behind? 494 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 4: I think that most companies will have a benefit, but yes, 495 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 4: there'll be companies that will get left behind. They won't 496 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 4: be able to keep up. And I think that what 497 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 4: we've seen is that in the hardware world that is 498 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 4: where all the action is today. The software software companies, 499 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 4: the big software companies are basically flat. They're down a 500 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 4: few percent this year, which is remarkable compared to the 501 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: hardware which is up called average fifty percent. So I 502 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: think where the companies get left behind is this up 503 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 4: and coming class. And at deep Water we focus on 504 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 4: we have the benefit of doing public private And on 505 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 4: the private side there is these anointed AI companies some 506 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 4: of them. Some of them everyone's heard of open ai 507 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 4: and Xai, but there's other ones that people haven't heard of, 508 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: like Data Bricks and Andril. And I think that there 509 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 4: is going to be a class that's going to go 510 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 4: public in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven that is 511 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: going to challenge some of the software companies that have 512 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 4: had great businesses for the last fifteen years, and so 513 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 4: I think I don't have these three companies are going 514 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 4: to be at risk. But I would just point out this. 515 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 4: I think that the private software opportunity around AI is 516 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: going to be headlines in twenty five, twenty six, and 517 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: twenty seven. 518 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of headlines, when we have this kind of massive 519 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: run in the stocks and a lot of these companies 520 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: that we talk about day in and day out, there's 521 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: been a lot of regulatory scrutiny as well. I'm thinking 522 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: particularly about a lot of the action that's been happening 523 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: in the European Union when it comes to Apple now, 524 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: Meta platforms, DAN. Is that a potential risk, potential head 525 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: risk for some of these companies. The idea of regulatory scrutiny. 526 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: Look, I think right now, regulatory is in a minivan 527 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: going fifty five miles an hour in the right lane 528 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: and in the left lane. Is the technology in a 529 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: Bugatti going one hundred miles an hour. The point is regulatory. 530 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: I view it as more background though. Every look the 531 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 3: certainties when you wake up coffee, you're gonna get delayed 532 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: on some mass transportation train plane and the EU is 533 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: gonna find a big tech player. So the point is 534 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 3: this is I think the streets almost become immune and 535 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: I don't see that it spoils the AI party, which 536 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: I believe. It's still nine pm and it goes to 537 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: four am. Jane, do you think Europe just falls so 538 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 3: far behind on US, Easia other parts of the world 539 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 3: because of this regulatory. 540 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 4: I think that at the highest level. Yes, I think 541 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 4: that their restrictive policies are going to have an impact. 542 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: You need to be embracing these and so I do 543 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 4: think that there's risk what the EU is doing as 544 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 4: risks beyond what the regulators understand, and so my general 545 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: sense is that they need to make some changes. It's 546 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 4: not going to happen. I love your analogy about things 547 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 4: you can depend on in life. Yes, the EU finding 548 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 4: some going after some big tech company, and I would 549 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 4: just add one other piece just around this. It's just 550 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 4: a chess match. And the reason why, just to put 551 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 4: another point on what Dan said, the reason why investors 552 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 4: don't care is because they understand that these big tech 553 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 4: companies can find ways to get around any of the regulations, 554 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 4: effectively dampening what their potential penalties are. And so I'm 555 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 4: more confident that big tech can figure it out and 556 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: get around these hurdles. 557 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: Well, what should investors be worried about when it comes 558 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: to the growth that we've seen in AI companies? 559 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 4: Gene, Well, this is one of the bizarre parts of 560 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 4: this piece. And Dan and I were around during the 561 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 4: Internet bubble and the analogy. I'd say the thing that 562 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 4: when I get asked like what's most concerning, it's around 563 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 4: how it's going to impact how we think and how 564 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 4: we feel about each other. I talked about that earlier. 565 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 4: But from the standpoint of what's concerning to stop this, 566 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 4: I think the only things would be something around availability 567 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 4: of power and maybe something around Taiwan. But beyond that, 568 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 4: this is this rocket is going to take off. And 569 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 4: I always embrace like identifying what the real risk is, 570 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 4: and they're pretty distant this is going to happen. 571 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: We're speaking with Gene Monster man partner Deepwater Asset Management, 572 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: and Dan Ives, senior equity research analyst at web Bush Securities. 573 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: You're talking about it as a nine pm and a 574 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: four am party, Dan, but do you see any potential 575 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: risks to the AI run? Could we be driving these 576 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: companies up into an asset bubble. 577 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's a two year bull cycle. 578 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: I mean at points when we get towards three thirty 579 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 3: four am, there will be issues, especially for ones that 580 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: don't actually execute, but I see it it's an auto bond. 581 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 3: We'll have some issues with quarters and air pockets and 582 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: worries and bears that have been negative. Untech for last 583 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: you know, since two thousand and nine come out again 584 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 3: saying that this is a bubble. The reality is it's 585 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 3: a Fourth Industrial Revolution plan out and some look, some 586 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: are going to look at this party from the outside 587 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 3: and they'll be like, you know what, I'm just gonna 588 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 3: eat ice cream in my room. Guess what, Let's meet 589 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 3: at six am for breakfast. I'll go to the party, 590 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 3: they go, and who had the better night? And the 591 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 3: point is, I think as it all plays out, that's it. 592 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 3: This is a tech bull mark. You could deny it. 593 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: The multiplier impacts. Just starting with Godfather of Ai Jensen 594 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: a video. 595 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: Just to carry over the analogy. What's the risk of 596 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: a six am hangover? 597 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 3: First of all, there's after parties at five and six am, 598 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 3: and then even in those you'll have some that fall 599 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 3: by the wayside. But if you focus on the winners 600 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 3: and keep the thesis again, we're gonna be talking about 601 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 3: four trillion, five trillion dollar mark aps NASDAK twenty twenty two, 602 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 3: twenty five K over the next three four five years. 603 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: In my opinion, is that something that you agree with? 604 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 4: Gene, Yes, I mean I like Dan's party analogies much 605 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 4: more of my baseball analogies. But I'm at the third 606 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 4: inning of this, and we think we're in the early 607 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 4: stages of a three to five year market, and I 608 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 4: don't I wouldn't. Don't worry about the after don't worry 609 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 4: about the hangover at this point, I think you just 610 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 4: embrace that this is as the substance will exceed the 611 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 4: hype and we've got some great years ahead of us 612 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 4: from the market. Now. 613 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: Obviously we've been talking a lot about the Magnificent seven 614 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: stocks and VideA leading the way in lots of aspects. 615 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: But as we close out this our guys, let's talk 616 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the names that maybe 617 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: you'd advise investors to steer clear of entirely. Start with Eugene. 618 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 4: Well, this is one that I've had talked about in 619 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 4: the past. I've been wrong I'm going to stick with it. 620 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 4: It's Netflix, it's a bigger company. It's one that has 621 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 4: a benefit to AI, but it's not like a true 622 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 4: AI company. It's content, and I think that there's a 623 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 4: shift going on in content to the creator economy. Let's 624 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 4: think of it as what's happened in YouTube and TikTok 625 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 4: multiplied by many times. And I think Hollywood's gonna get disrupted. 626 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 4: I think companies like Netflix are gonna get disrupted, and 627 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 4: I think that it's just not that exciting of a 628 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 4: story on top of it interesting. 629 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: What's your view on where the entertainment industry is going down? 630 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think you could play the scary 631 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 3: sort of angle we saw with some of the Hollywood 632 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 3: strikes in terms of how it's going to impact negatively. 633 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 3: I actually think it's going to create sub industries and 634 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 3: companies that are massively successful streaming. There is a revolution 635 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 3: going on. It's content driven and you're gonna see more 636 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,919 Speaker 3: and more entertainment companies. Applications gonna be built on top 637 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 3: of watching sports, watching entertainment. You're gonna be able to 638 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 3: go into a movie, whether it's a vision pro or 639 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: others that you'll be bringing in the point is this 640 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 3: things are gonna be happening over the coming years that 641 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 3: you never would have imagined today, and there's gonna be 642 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 3: winners from that and losers. And I think that's something 643 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 3: as it all plays out. That's why you listen to 644 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 3: people like Gene, because they don't get nerve on quarters. 645 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 3: They don't all of a sudden like so many others 646 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 3: just follow the herd and go negative the farest through 647 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,959 Speaker 3: the trees.
