19

Speaker 1: Business Flash. This is taking stock with Kathleen Hayes and

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Pin Fox on Bloomberg Radio. Airlines stocks Delta Airlines, for example,

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: saying that it would seek to boost the key passenger

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: revenue yardstick because they're gonna reign in an expansion in

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: seats that was set for later this year. That capacity

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: would only increase about one percent in the fourth quarter.

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Investors like the news. The shares of Delta Airlines higher

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: today by more than three and a half percent. Here

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: to tell us more about airline investing, Frank Collins. He

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: is the chief executive and the chief investment officer of

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: US Global Investors. Joining us from San Antonio, Texas. Frank

30
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: always a pleasure tell us about jets, tell us about

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: US Global Jets. That's the e t F. And what

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the news. The news today from Delta means, well, it's good.

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: It's good news because all the negative going into the

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: bricks that going into the quarter, and it was very

35
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: negative on global growth. And we saw that the airlines

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: were sold down to such an extremely low level that

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: companies like American Airlines then were trading at three times

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: earnings three times and the industry itself trades it over

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: six times, and when you look at transports, they traded

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: eighteen and so the negative sentiments seems to now getting

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: behind us, and they're starting to see these stocks have

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: big pops, especially after Deutsche Bank made a call that

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: that they believe that this is the bottom and things

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: will trade higher. All right, So this is what Deutsche

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: Bank says. But what does Frank Colin say, because Delta

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: said it's slowing the expansion of flights and seats because

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: it wants to deal with the potential slide and passenger revenue. Well,

48
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Delta's concerned regarding particular Brickxit that the flights the British pound,

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: that the volatility of the British pound has had a

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: big impact. Uh, and so the bri has come to

51
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: America now for holidays that they're gonna have going to Europe,

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: and that sort of travel is concerned, and so for

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: going into the winter, they're going to cut that path

54
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: route by six percent. However, they've got great growth in

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Asia and there's robust activity for all the big three,

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: in particular United American and Delta in their Asian travel.

57
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: So is it possible that the exchange Traded Fund will

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: add non US flag carriers, we do, you know, that's

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: a good question. Um it's dominated by four of them,

60
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: that Southwest, Delta, American and United about of the index

61
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: and every balance of the quarter. And then we own

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: other names based on who has the highest cask forward

63
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: turn investor capital and revenue per share, and that would

64
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: be Jet Blue, it would be Hawaiian Air, et cetera.

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: And then we have twenties foreign names at one percent

66
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: each and that's helpers mitigee this currency volatility and that

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: rebounces one supquarter. But it's all based on key metrics

68
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: that value these stocks. So it's a smart betas are

69
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: rules based thought process well. I note for example of

70
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: that Quantas Airways is in the jets et f as

71
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: well as China, Southern Airlines, Air Canada as well as

72
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Air China and WestJet correct in in order of when

73
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: you look at the whole global scene, those foreign holdings

74
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: have the highest cast forward turns invested capital on a

75
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: relative basis and the highest UMU. The other the key

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: factors that revenue perceed mile revenue proceed mile. This is

77
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: the one of the industry standards as far as UH

78
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: input costs go to airlines. It's got to be jet

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: fuel prices, right. It's a key component, there's no doubt

80
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: about it. And the other part is it moves with

81
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the stock market. It is a greater beta in the

82
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: stock market. So the stock markets up one percent, this

83
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: category is up one and a half percent, Marcus off

84
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: one percent, it's down one and a half percent. Uh

85
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: And I think the longer they go was showing these

86
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: uh inexpensive pe ratios and rising dividends, and the dividend

87
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: increased last year was almost a hundred percent increase in dividends.

88
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Uh And and they've been buying back their stock. I

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: think that they're going to go to that re rating.

90
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: And that's always been the biggest money in the capital

91
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: markets to him, is that when people will pay going

92
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: from six dollars for that same dollars of earnings to

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: twelve dollars, or they turn and get worried about the

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: stock market and they just pay a less pe ratio

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: for that same dollar earnings. Uh. The airline industry as

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: a whole is the least expensive out of the approximately

97
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: hundred industries that make up the SMP five stocks. Frank,

98
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I know you've been paying attention to the news out

99
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: of Farnborough, the Farnborough Air Show, which has just concluded

100
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: orders for Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft that came through

101
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: from Farnborough. We're down about compared to last year's Paris

102
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: Air Show. Is that of concern? No, I don't really

103
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: think it's a concern. Um that I just don't feel

104
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: that's a big concern. Why is that Because if they're

105
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: not ordering aircraft, does that indicate that maybe there is

106
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: a glut of aircraft on the market. No, there's no glut.

107
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: That that's a good question. In fact, Boeing is ten

108
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: years backlog and when you fly you can still see that.

109
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I still because I'm a rapid fly millions of miles. Uh.

110
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: A lot of these planes are not up to speed

111
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and so there's a big upgrade that needs to take place.

112
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that some of that slow down

113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: those orders would be coming of the Middle East and

114
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: out of Latin America, but the new order is coming

115
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: out of the US. They remain strong and just finally

116
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: frank new efficient engines, whether it's the Neo from air

117
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: Bus or on the seven three seven or even the

118
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: new geared turbo fan from ut X. Is that going

119
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: to change the market profile of these companies. No, but

120
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm so impressed, Pim. You just really get into those

121
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: great details of these engines and uh, you know, it

122
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: is fuel efficiencies everywhere. Uh, and I think it's a

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: key component for upgrading on these airlines. So that's just

124
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a good business model for both Bowling UH

125
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: and Airbus and the airlines. Thanks very much for spending

126
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,320
