1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. The headlines third quarter

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: revenue x tax seventy point fifty five billion. That's a beat.

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Seventy two point eighty eight was the estimate. Third quarter

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: Google Cloud revenue also beat over eleven billion dollars. The

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: street estimate was about ten point eight ten.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: All right, let's I think we should bring in Man Deep.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: So I think we should definitely bring He's.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Been watching these numbers very closely. He joins us here

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: in the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio. A beat pretty much

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: across the board, Man Deep, you cover this company and

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: many others. We're going to get to some of the

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: others in just a second. For Bloomberg Intelligence. What's really

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: sticks out to you?

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the Google Cloud beat is quite impressive because

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 3: the thirty five percent growth rate is a nice acceleration.

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: I mean, we are talking about thirty percent being the bogie.

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: They really hit it out of the park when it

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: comes to the Google Cloud.

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: So what does that tell you about their client.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 3: That the clients are deploying their AI workloads on Google Cloud. Remember,

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: Google Cloud is the third when it comes to the

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: cloud ranking.

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: You've got Aws, Azure.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: Azure and Google Cloud has an und rate of forty

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: four billion. Now with this print, Azure is about eighty

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: billion and AWS is one hundred and five billion. So

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: I think what you will see is Google Cloud growing

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: much faster than the other two. Most likely Microsoft will

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: be around thirty percent. AWS is more twenty percent. So

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: clearly that thirty five percent growth rate is very impressive,

31
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: and the cloud profitability actually was much better than expected,

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: which is why you see the operating margin bead here.

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: How low was the bar going into this report for Alphabet.

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: It was I think low in the sense that the

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: overall top line road of thirteen percent was quite low,

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: and they beat on. You know, the certain numbers were

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: in line. The YouTube ad numbers were in line. The

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: YouTube subscriptions continues to be the standout. They keep delivering

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: quarter after quarter, and now YouTube plus cloud is one

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: hundred billion dollar rundread business. They guide it to that

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: and they are showing it in the in the sprint.

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: And YouTube alone is a fifty billion dollar business over

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: the last four quarters, according to the release from the company.

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: I would say if you add the subscriptions, yeah, to

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: the ads, it's closer to sixty simply because they bundle

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: YouTube subscriptions in the other segment and they've got some

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: other revenue in there as well. So that's why that

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: subscription number continues to be very impressive, the YouTube premium

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 3: and the YouTube TV. Yeah, and most likely it is

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: margin increased.

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: A quick reminder, Google bought YouTube back in two thousand

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: and six for one point sixty five billion dollars.

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Which is pretty amazing. Listen, we watch a lot of YouTube,

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: two different programs.

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: We're on YouTube right now.

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: We are on YouTube.

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: You want everybody she's not watching you tube.

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not watching it. You know, it's interesting. We did

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: some reporting kicked off our broadcast couple of hours ago

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: about the overhang, the anti trust action scrutiny over where

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: their alphabet's dominant market share and Internet search is at

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: a risk as other players in AI come in. How

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: do you kind of factor those overhanging elements in.

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, there is no doubt if you're a regulator

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: right now and looking at the search market, there's more

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: competition this chat GPT, there are other large anguage players

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: and Tropic even Meta is talking about getting into search.

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: So there is definitely perplexity being another one there is

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: more competition for sure. Now, the thing that's impressed me

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: this quarter was they continue to execute on search. So

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: even though the search volumes are going down, they still

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: had an inline forty nine point one.

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Is very amazing.

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: Why are search volumes going down?

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: Because if chat GPT is taking some of your traffic

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: for informational queries, that Google search volume, I would say,

77
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: is going down. But the ROI on their ad spend

78
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: is so high that they can make it up on

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: the ad pricing site. So even involves are going down,

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: ad pricing continues to be stronger.

81
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: Why because they're the dominant player.

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: They are the dominant player, and they have the best

83
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: kind of mode when it comes to the ads stack

84
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: around keyword searches. There's no better a platform for you know,

85
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: navigational searches or transactional searches. If you're an e commerce player,

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: you have to advertise YouTube. There's no way out of it.

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: So what's the question that you would want to know

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: from them on the earnings call? I mean, the stacks

89
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: know up four point two percent in the aftermarket, so

90
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: the momentum just building.

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: They give you so little in terms of guidance that

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: I almost want to, you know, plead the management to

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: give us more details around their CAPEX plans like every

94
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: other company gives us so much more.

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing that going into this week

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: right with all of these guys reporting, and what it

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: would tell us about the AI spend. What did you

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: what so far have you heard about or are you

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: feeling like you're going I mean.

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: If the cloud number was a blowout, which it looks

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: like in this print, then clearly you know the spend

102
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: on AI is translated into cloud revenue, and so to

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: my mind, I think that AI Kapex investment is showing

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: up in the cloud revenue. And that's why I want

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: to know the Capex guide. Are they overspending because at

106
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: this pace, you know, with the fifty billion dollar capex,

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: they're way lower than Microsoft at around eighty billion. So

108
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: that's why that Capex guide is very important.

109
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: Is it apples to apples when it comes to the

110
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: way these companies are investing. Can we can we really say, okay,

111
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: the Microsoft AI spend or Microsoft capex we can compare

112
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: it directly to Alphabet.

113
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: You can, and Alphabet has got a different set of

114
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: businesses along with AI and cloud. They've got weimo that's

115
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: a big investment. I mean that that's a big call

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: option on the company overall. That revenue line could be huge,

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: and they are investing on the Vemo side. But look,

118
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: when it comes to Capex, it's all about training of

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: large angwid models. Can you maintain the lead when it

120
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: comes to you know, Microsoft OpenAI partnership and where stacks

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: up against them?

122
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: Where are we in the race? You said can If

123
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: they can maintain the lead, it has me where are

124
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: we in the race?

125
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean, some would argue the open ai model is

126
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: still better for some of the large angrid model.

127
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: Use and open Ai is using Microsoft Azer.

128
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: They are using Microsoft Azor. So from that perspective, Google

129
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: is playing catch up. But they have been releasing a

130
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: lot more products lately than they were before. And that's

131
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: where I think owning the chips. Remember Google has their

132
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: own chips when it comes to training these models. They're

133
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: not even reliant on Nvidia for a large portion of training.

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: They do that in house, and that could the reason

135
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: why their Capex spend could be much lower than Microsoft.

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Can we ask you? We've got Reddit? While we've got you.

137
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Reddit is surging in the aftermarket. It's up about seventeen percent.

138
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: Also out with their earnings, c's signal strong holiday quarter

139
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: to come fourth quarter revenue three hundred and eighty five

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: to four hundred million. The street estimate was three fifty

141
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: six point two. So the outlook is upbeat. What do

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: we need to know here?

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: I mean, this just ipeoed at the perfect time. And

144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: look when it comes to Reddit, all that timing. They

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: are one of the beneficiaries of llms, you know, implementing search,

146
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: because where do you drive that traffic when you show

147
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: a result in an LLLM. A lot of that traffic

148
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: goes to Reddit. And that's why a lot of the

149
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: Google traffic is now going to Reddit, A lot of

150
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: the chat che.

151
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: I guess say, when I search in different things, like

152
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things goes.

153
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Back go back to it. I also like, I spend

154
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: more time on Reddit than any other single you know,

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: quote unquote social media site like it's and I was

156
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: such a late adopter.

157
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: To Yeah, yeah, right, I mean, think of what these

158
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: lllms are trained on. They're trained on. Reddit data is

159
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: one of the corpus that is common across all the lllms,

160
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: and that's why when you search for something, it takes

161
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: you back to one of the Reddit posts, which is.

162
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Kind of what they said right when they were ipoing,

163
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: right that this was going to be what was so

164
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: valuable about it, And it's playing out that way.

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: It is they ipeoed at the perfect time. I mean,

166
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: that acceleration is just amazing.

167
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: Can we ask you about Snap too? Snap is up

168
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: about ten eleven percent here in the aftermarket, So another

169
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: one that's surging. Let's go to the.

170
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: Outlook, thirty six percent so far this year.

171
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so perspective. Sorry about that. I was getting

172
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: a little exciting fourth quarter revenue one in one point

173
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: five to one point five to one to one point

174
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: five six billion. The estimate on the street is one

175
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: point five six billion, so it sounds like that's a

176
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a range. So they projecting slower holiday

177
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: advertising sales. Why are they up well?

178
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: In the case of Snap, like Tim said, you know,

179
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: they are up twenty percent one quarter, then down twenty

180
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: and in this case, I think overall what you're seeing

181
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,479
Speaker 3: is the lower interest rates now I mean we have obviously, Yeah,

182
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: it's it helps the add companies.

183
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: There are buying back I should say, up to half

184
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: a billion.

185
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what to make of it, because

186
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: for a company of Snap size, doing a buyback right

187
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: now is not the best use of their cash. But

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: maybe the investors like that.

189
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: What should they be doing with their cash?

190
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: They should be deploying generative AI. Every platform right now

191
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: should be looking to add more feess that helps you

192
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: know their engagement. And generative AI is what every social

193
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: media platform is doing. Look at Meta, They're using it

194
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: at scale.

195
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: What an interesting kind of drop of earnings and we're

196
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: focusing on a lot of these kind of I feel

197
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: like high tech interesting. Google Alphabet up still three point

198
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: four percent in the aftermarket. Does it tell you anything

199
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: potentially about what's to come from Meta? From Amazon, from Microsoft?

200
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: Is there anything that we can infer here or now?

201
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think Meta. For Meta, the bar is slightly

202
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: higher twenty percent growth rates, so I think they will

203
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: beat and raised, but clearly the bar is higher. And

204
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: for Microsoft, the Cloud number will blow out. I mean,

205
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: if Google Cloud did so well, I wouldn't be surprised

206
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: if Microsoft's growth is around that thirty four to thirty

207
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: five percent as well.

208
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: All right, Reddit shares up seventeen and a half percent

209
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: right now, I know I know, I know. I mean,

210
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: look we're talking, you know, and hundreds of millions of dollars,

211
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: not billions of dollars. Here, last question, what dos What

212
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: does all of this mean? Man Deep? For what we

213
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: get tomorrow and Thursday when we hear Amazon and Apple?

214
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: I mean for Amazon and Apple, I think.

215
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: They're meta platforms too.

216
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, meta I think should do well. I mean,

217
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 3: ads continue to be strong, and they should probably beat

218
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 3: and raise and their large angrid model LAMA is a

219
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: big strategic advantage. So in the case of Apple or Amazon,

220
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: they're very different. I think with Amazon, the AWS business

221
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: is growing slower than Microsoft and Google, so that may

222
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: weigh on them. And for Apple it's about China. I mean,

223
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: if they can counter that China risk, I think they

224
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: are a well position.

225
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna leave it on that note, Man

226
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: Deep saying the best Bloomberg intelligence breaking down those alphabet earnings.

227
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Do you want to mention too a couple of others

228
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: that have crossed. AMD is down more than five percent

229
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: here in the aftermarket. They're forecast falling short, suggesting a

230
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: slower pace of AI growth advanced micro devices, giving a

231
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: lackluster revenue forecast for the current period, so there is

232
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: some concerns that it's aises are growing more slowly than anticipated.

233
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: And then Chippotle also at with results.

234
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: All right, shares of Chipotle ticker CMG in the after

235
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: hours right now, I'm just waiting for the.

236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Turn down about seven percent liter the after market. Their

237
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: sales falling short of investor expectations as well.

238
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sales, look at this. The measure of locations

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: open for at least thirteen months rose six percent, was

240
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: below the average analyst estimate of six point four percent.

241
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: The stocks advanced so far thirty two percent this year,

242
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: so it's done better than the S and P five hundred.

243
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: The company did maintain its full year view that same

244
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: store sales will rise in the mid to high single

245
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: digit range.

246
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to though alphabet obviously the

247
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: big one and the one that we've been really focusing

248
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: on again, up about four percent here in the after market.

249
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: Caroline Hyde is here with us in studio, co host

250
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Technology on Bloomberg TV eleven am Wall Street Time.

251
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: Every day.

252
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: You're welcome, You're welcome. You guys are going to be

253
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: talking a lot about this.

254
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: What do you make oh, the cloud. Cloud revenue up

255
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: thirty five percent. I had you call it out when

256
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: they broke after the closing bell. And really that is

257
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: where the metal roots the road, really, doesn't it, Because

258
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: this is where the investment, the capex of over thirteen

259
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: billion dollars is vindicated. Because they're able to grow revenue

260
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: to such a significant extent. Why are they winning new clients?

261
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 4: Why are they getting the startups that are ex Google

262
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 4: is coming to them for their compute power, for their

263
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: services and their software, because they've got AI prowess that's

264
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: able to win yet more customers, more money, and more revenue.

265
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: Better AI prowess than Microsoft, who's in second place when

266
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: it comes to the cloud, or AWS who has the

267
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: crown for first place.

268
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 4: Many would say that the need for computers so vast

269
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: that you go wherever you can take it. But ultimately,

270
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: I think it's about whether they've got this suppliability and

271
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: whether they are able to cater to it. I think

272
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: people aren't. People do feel that even though from a

273
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: narrative perspective, in the consumer's mindset, maybe we suddenly thought

274
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: that open AI had run away with artificial intelligence generative

275
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: AI and leading the charge I'm sorry. DeepMind has been

276
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: there since twenty ten with Google as an an extraordinary

277
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: lab that has sophisticated AI prowess, and I think therefore

278
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: they're able to start showing that even if the narrative

279
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: moved on them, the actual reality is they're locking in

280
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 4: customers and they're able to generate their own revenue from this,

281
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: and that's why they're able to also drive up profitability.

282
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: They're managing to be cost focused at the same time

283
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 4: as driving up revenue.

284
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about you know that they're advertising business, right,

285
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: it's a massive one. It's a big one, but there's

286
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: a maturation aspect of it, right, and so it's important

287
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: to see the cloud business continue to grow or the

288
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: YouTube business continue to grow. I mean, these are important

289
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: to see these aspects.

290
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: It is, and actually we manage to live up to

291
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: expectations when it came to the juggernaut that is the

292
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 4: ad business YouTube considerable addition there. And look, this is

293
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: where people have been worried about generative AI encroaching on

294
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: that part of the business model too. Would suddenly I

295
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: not go to Google, Would I instead go to chatchypt?

296
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 4: Would I be using perplexity people aren't, and my way,

297
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: I love Google AI overviews. I think it's really easy

298
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: and it keeps me using what I'm used to using

299
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: right exactly.

300
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: This is so remarkable to me. YouTube's total ads and

301
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: subscription revenues surpass fifty billion dollars over the past four

302
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: quarters for the first time. I was marveling thinking back

303
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: to two thousand and six when YouTube was, yeah, an

304
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: independent company. Google bought it for what one point six

305
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: billion dollars or something.

306
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: And now they can move from freemium to premium and

307
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: suddenly we're all still completely using addicted it. They've got

308
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: live sports, and no wonder that we're returning to YouTube

309
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: time and time again. I mean, they own market share

310
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: when it comes to our eyeballs, and they can start

311
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: charging us for it. So they're able to contribute more

312
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: than eight billion dollars in terms of overall revenue for

313
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 4: the business. And it's more about us paying for it

314
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: as consumers than it is about advertising. At the moment.

315
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,600
