That is what policymakers want. That is what 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: customers want, not what pharmaceutical companies want. So are they fall? Like? 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Here to talk about that is Michael Ray, founder and 11 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: chief executive of our ex Saving Solutions based in Overland Park, Kansas, 12 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: but he joins us here in our eleven three oh studios. So, Michael, 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: something happened over Labor Day? Was it a price cut 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: for pharmaceutical drugs or or or something else? Price cuts 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: the net ati um? Yeah, So, you know we've seen 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: a flurry of activity even post fiser um. You know 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: when the President did did tweet about the price increases 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: back in July. One of those companies was a company 19 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: called Nostrom, very small by market cap standpoint, but one 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: that raised the price of a very common antibiotic that's 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: been around for sixty years. Michael's on Labor Day. This 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: was on Labor Day. Yes, it was actually right before 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend. We saw a whole bunch of activity 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: on both Thursday and Friday that week. Uh, going into 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: a long weekend, not surprising holiday. Maybe people taking our 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: eye off the ball. We were not taking our eye 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: off the ball. Michael. What is spread pricing and what 28 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: does it have to do with CVS charging almost two 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a bottle of pills when it told 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: the pharmacy that it was worth less than six dollars, 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: And what was the company doing with all the extra money. 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: It's a great question. Millions of people are trying to 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: figure out. Um, you know, the difference between the two 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: hundred dollars and the six dollars. Six dollars is what 35 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: the pharmacy was reimbursed for a drug. Uh. The company 36 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: that was paying the bill was charged two hundreds. So 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: the difference of that is a d bucks that goes 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: into the pockets of someone. Uh. In this case it 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: was CBS and they, you know, they profited handsibly from 40 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: that transaction. This is called spread pricing, correct. Yeah, And 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a common industry term that goes back 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: years or so. It was something that that had a 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: lot of focused on it. It went away to a 44 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: large degree, and now it is it is back in 45 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: in a big way. We've been talking with you over 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: the number of months and years that we've had conversations 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: about the desire to bring down drug pricing and the 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: inability to do so, and we talked about spread pricing. 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: We talked about how even though there does seem to 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: be a push to lower prices, it just isn't happening. 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Why are companies able to raise a drug it's four 52 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: hundred percent over a long weekend and no one cares 53 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: and no one pushes back. Where does this come from? Yeah? 54 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: So you know people, people do care, and the problem 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: has been pointed out for for decades. Uh. The problem 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: is there is an uninformed market, there's an inefficient market. 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: And the only way to change that is to do 58 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: what we've done in every other area of our life, 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: and that is informed consumers of what things cost and 60 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: what options they have. From a therapy standpoint, it's very simple. Uh, 61 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: it's not. It is also very difficult, difficult. Is there 62 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: a quid pro quo when it comes to a pharmacy 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: benefit management company carrying a specific drug from a specific manufacturer. 64 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: There can be depends on the PBMU, depends on the 65 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: drug manufacturer, but absolutely we've seen cases where there's a 66 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: quid pro quoil. Can you argue that pharmaceutical companies need 67 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: pricing to be where it's at for them to be 68 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: able to innovate and for them to be able to 69 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: uh come up with the life saving drugs that we're seeing. Well, 70 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: you know, I'm the first to uh to endorse the 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: amount of research to to really bring breakthrough therapies to 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: the market, and I think that people and companies that 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: do that should be be rewarded handsomely for it, and 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: they are. I think, is there is there fluff in 75 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: all of the drugs that have been around forty years? Absolutely, 76 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: So I think that there's a lot of extra profit 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: put on put on some medications that don't bring something 78 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: very very meaningful to the market. So I think that 79 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: what your objective is to say that the free market 80 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: principles that have guided prices for so many other markets 81 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: kind of have not existed in the pharmaceutical industry because 82 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: of the way that things have structured and the lack 83 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: of transparency when it comes to what the actual pricing is. 84 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: And so what you're trying to do is to give 85 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: more information. Is that enough given the fact that insurance 86 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: companies end up paying things and getting rebates and the 87 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, the whole sort of muddied and complicated system, 88 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: And is there any chance of overhauling that? Well, it's 89 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: a there are many things. There are many components that 90 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: make up make this this benefit so complicated. Um. So 91 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: a couple of things that are very easy rebates go away, um, 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: and consumers have information about prices. I mean those are 93 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: just kind of that's not going to solve every problem, 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: but it's going to get you nine of the way there. Um. 95 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: People don't want to be making decisions that cost a 96 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: lot of money intentionally, but they also don't want to 97 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: be told what to do. They want the chance to choose. 98 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: If I buy a car, I want to I want 99 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: to choose which car I buy. It's very similar with drugs, 100 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and it's much more personal because these are medications that 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: we swallow and put into our body. Do these kinds 102 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: of spread pricing and rebates exist for generic drugs as well. Yeah, 103 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: and in the case of in the case of the 104 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg article yesterday, um, that was a generic drug and 105 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: that that's a common fallacy to you that all of 106 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: you know. Specialty drugs certainly get the focus. But the 107 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: amount of profit on some of these generic drugs is 108 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: astronomical when you look at it percentage wise, and this 109 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: can occur for medicaid as well as for Medicare patients. 110 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, yes, all all facets. There may be 111 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: variations of how it's played, how the game's played, but Medicare, 112 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: Medicaid commercial, Uh, employer, it's it's it's all there. Wow, 113 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: all right, Well, thanks very much for being here. Michael Ray, founder, 114 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: chief executive of our ex Savings Solutions based in Overland Park, Kansas. 115 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: Much appreciate it.

So Mark, 123 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: what is the okay, not everything, mostly everything? Uh, what 124 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: is the most important thing from this product release is 125 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: that the watches? Is that the iPhone? Is it the nomenclature. 126 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: The most interesting thing, of course, will be the phones. 127 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Three new phones will be this new strategy where it's 128 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: all about the iPhones ten. So last year, obviously the 129 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: ten a thousand dollars came in one screen size, a 130 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: pretty standard array of features and skews. This come around, 131 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: they're going bigger and cheaper, so they'll be an update 132 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: the iPhone tent from last year. Faster processor, better camera, 133 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: will be called the ten as. Then they're going to 134 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: go even higher end with the tenn S max ventually 135 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: a bigger, faster version of the iPhone ten biggest screen 136 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: they've ever put into a phone. It would be one 137 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: of the biggest phone screens on the market, and they're 138 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: going to keep it with a phone that we're going 139 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: to call the ten are just gonna look like the 140 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: iPhone tends be a little bit bigger but cost a 141 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: couple less. So Mark, you know, we're talking a lot 142 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: about Apple and we are sort of heralding its products 143 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of fanfare, with images both verbal and 144 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: visual throughout the day on media across the board. How 145 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: much does this matter from a business perspective, given the 146 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: fact that Apple is now a trillion dollar company a 147 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: major presence in US equity markets, can you just sort 148 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: of give us the perspective of the import of this 149 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: product launch. It's extraordinarily significant. Apple gets almost seventy of 150 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: its revenues from the products that are going to be 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: introduced today and the iPhone. Even though it generates that much, 152 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: plus the Apple Watches that will be introduced today, it 153 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: generates even more long term in terms of people downloading 154 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: apps and different services and Apple Music and I Cloud 155 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: storage to them. So this is a key as it 156 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: gets for Apple on its long term strategy and it's 157 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: continued sustainability mark. There's also going to be a new 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: Apple Watches, a Series four, and they're going to be 159 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: wider than current watches and come in a variety of colors. 160 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: Tell us about the Apple Watch. So the big news 161 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: on the Apple Watch today is going to be the 162 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: bigger screen to be able to fit more watch faces, 163 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: more content on the screen. It will be a little 164 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: bit easier to read if you're glancing on it. Well, 165 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: it's on your risk. Some new functionality on the heart 166 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: rate sensor, some new fitness software to automatically begin work out. 167 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: So let's say you're on a run, or you're on 168 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: a treadmill or what not. To watch now will be 169 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: able to automatically determine that's what you're doing and start 170 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: recording without user intervention. I have to say I do 171 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: use that feature. I do have an iPhone and I 172 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: check how many miles I've walked at the end of 173 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: the day every day. Even though I question the accuracy 174 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: of it, I do it every single day. And the 175 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: number of floors that I go up him, Do you 176 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: do that? No, because I would need an Apple Watch 177 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: in order to do that. But I'm under the impression 178 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: market well, at least the owns the phones also have that. Yeah, 179 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: well you need to activate that feature as well. Right, 180 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm not activating anything that measures how far I walk. 181 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: But indeed that's connected actually to a GPS signal, isn't 182 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: that right? Mark um? Right? So the Apple Watches will 183 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: have GPS, as they've had the last couple of years, 184 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: and the GPS makes it more accurate. Obviously, the phone 185 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: has GPS as well, and you can set up how 186 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: many floors you've walked or your distance walks using a 187 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: special health sensor that is in the phone, Tobinus the 188 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: GPS as well. So, Mark, we have heard from Apple 189 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: that they're expecting to raise prices on certain products on 190 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: the heels of the escalating tariff battle with China between 191 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: the US and China, And I'm just wondering, do you 192 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: think that they're going to talk about that at all, 193 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: especially as they unveil the prices of some of these products. 194 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: Right I think that the tariffs are still in the 195 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: proposal stages. They haven't been implemented yet, and if we 196 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: were to see any price increases due to that, it's 197 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: not something that we would see until probably a year 198 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: from now. It's not something that would go into effect 199 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: today or be talked about today, Mark, as far as 200 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: those tariffs are concerned. But they also include tariffs on 201 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: chips that are manufactured in China. You know, that's that's 202 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: a good question right now. The tariff listing that Apple 203 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: cantacted by has to do with the Apple wash itself, 204 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the air pods, the mac Minie, the desktopping fear that 205 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: hasn't been updated in four years, but they're planning on 206 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: updating it in October, and a few other various successories 207 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: like leather cases and chargers. So nothing on the chip 208 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: side for now. So Mark Irman, we're gonna let you 209 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: go because you have a crazy day ahead of you. 210 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: This is like the super Bowl of your beat, I imagine, 211 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: So I will let you. I will let you get 212 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: to Mark Ouman, thank you so much for joining us. 213 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Mark Rman covers all things Apple here at Bloomberg, and 214 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 1: he uh also in general covers other tech tub but 215 00:11:51,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: really it's all Apple, all the time. Our next guest 216 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: hunts for value. Marty Sass is the chairman and the 217 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: chief executive officer of m D. Sass Investors Services, helping 218 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: to manage over seven billion dollars. Marty Sass, Welcome to 219 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: the program. How do you define value right now? Um? Hi, 220 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: pim um. We're really looking at you know, there's there's 221 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:41,119 Speaker 1: been a tremendous divergence between growth stocks, you know, particularly 222 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: the things and stocks that are trading at deep discounts 223 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: from the market high value stocks, um. Now, the ones 224 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: that we're interested in, which I'm happy to discuss with you. 225 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: PIM are companies that will show exceptional learnings growth yet 226 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: are trading at steep discounts from the p ratio of 227 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: the s MP. So let's just jump right in there. 228 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: Which stocks are you talking about that you like? Well, 229 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: let me give you five names that I think are 230 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: particularly compelling now. One is a cruise line, Norwegian Cruise 231 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Lines similar in c LH trades around fifty three dollars 232 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: a year UH, nine point four times our estimate of 233 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: nineteen earnings UM two thousand nineteen earnings UH, with rapid 234 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: growth because of robust worldwide demand for cruising, higher pricing 235 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: and games and occupancy. A second name would be in 236 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: the home building area UM. Home builders have been out 237 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: of favor because of higher mortgage rates, but despite the 238 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: rising rates UH LENAR, which is our pick. There a 239 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: symbol Elien trading around UH. It's now the number one 240 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: home builder in the United States, having just acquired in 241 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: February call Atlantic UM. They are outperforming consensus earnings and 242 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: order growth there or orders organically or up twelve UM, 243 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: and they're seeing great strength and the ability to raise 244 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: prices because of short new housing supply. Due to a 245 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: lack of available labor and land, and so they're able 246 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: to pass through higher input costs with higher prices. Marty like, 247 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: can we just use both of those as examples, because 248 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: I want to get your your thinking a little bit 249 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: behind the headline, which is how did you come to 250 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: find Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings? Was there a screen that 251 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: you ran or did you meet someone or how did 252 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: you find that particular company? And then once you did, 253 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: what kind of follow up did you do in order 254 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: to make the decision that yes, this was the stock 255 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: you wanted to buy? Okay um him For years we've 256 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: been following the cruise line stocks and and we like 257 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,479 Speaker 1: the group because and there's really three names. There is Carnival, 258 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: which is number one, Royal which is number two, UH 259 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: and and UH Norwegian which is number three. UM and 260 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: the reason we like the group is that UH and 261 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: So we like all the stocks about but Norwegians our favorite. 262 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: UM is that the penetration of cruising is very low 263 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: around the world. Even here in the United States, where 264 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: it's very popular, Only of Americans have ever been on 265 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: a cruise. When you go to China, it's a fraction 266 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: of that. And it's growing extremely rapidly and all around 267 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the world. Cruising is an increasingly favorite form of vacationing 268 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: and and try. Um. You know, it's relatively inexpensive, um 269 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: and and and um, it's gotten increasingly attractive in terms 270 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: of the new ships. And by the way, New Norwegian 271 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: has the newest ships, and the reason Norwegian out of 272 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: the three is it's got the lowest multiple and the 273 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: highest projected growth. Marty, as you have a thesis like 274 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: this that you see a fundamental opportunity and sort of 275 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: go back to Pim's point about what is value? How 276 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: much do you have to care about what's going on 277 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: in the rest of the world, the sort of big 278 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: macro drivers that the stars of the two thousand and 279 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: eight crash have failed to understand and have gotten wrong 280 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: again and again. I mean, how do you have to 281 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: sort of keep an eye on the big picture while 282 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: coming up with specific idios and idiosyncratic thess. Well, well, 283 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: we do have to keep an eye on the big picture. Um. 284 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, these these are global companies that you know 285 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: they are they cruise the around the world. One of 286 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: the advantages they have UM, by the way, as they're 287 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: just applied to the cruise line industry for a moment 288 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: is that they can move the ships wherever they want. 289 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: So if it's weak in a particular market, they just 290 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: moved the ships to a different location where it's stronger 291 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: and the demand is stronger. So there's a lot of 292 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: flexibility and very savvy management here. Uh So, but nevertheless, 293 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, we've got to be aware of what's going 294 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: on in the world. I was with the CEO of 295 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: the major company does business in China just yesterday over 296 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: lunch and got a pretty close picture of what's going 297 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: on in there. Uh. It's an important potential market, uh, 298 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: for the cruise lines and for other industries. So, yes, 299 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: the macro is important, but also even more important to 300 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: us is what's going on in these individual companies. So 301 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: we take both into account. Marty. When you hear investors 302 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: speak of out the age of the bull market, what 303 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: do you think, um, One thing that that I've always 304 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: found to be true is, you know, I've been in 305 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: the business for a long time, many decades, having started 306 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three, and seeing a lot of markets. Uh. 307 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: In markets don't die of old age, uh it really, 308 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, we saw a very long bull market this 309 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: one has just exceeded that one. But from two thousand 310 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: two to two thousand seven, Uh, you know, we had 311 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: a hundred and fourteen months bull market UM. It was 312 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: up a hundred four hundred and seventeen percent during that period. 313 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: By the way, this bull market has just to pass 314 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: that record. So it's now the longest. It's up three 315 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: uh since the March two thousand and nine low. Uh, 316 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: But you know it's been um supported largely by strong 317 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: earnings UM, some multiple expansion, and some expected growth. But 318 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: the book has been you know, seventy over seventy of 319 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: the gain has been due to strong earning. Just we 320 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: just have a better minute left. No, no worries, We 321 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: just have a better minute left. And I do want 322 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: to get this question in. I was just looking at 323 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: Norwegian among the cruise liners, and the shares are a 324 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: little bit down on the year, basically flat, even though 325 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: the SMP five dred is up more than nine. When 326 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: do you decide it is time to sell? I'll give 327 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: you twenty seconds. We said, we said, we said, we 328 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: said a price target based on what we think is 329 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: a realistic valuation. Uh So, in the case of Norwegian, 330 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: based on what we think is fair value. We think 331 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: there's upside in the stock from its current level of 332 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: fifty three to our target of seventy five. All right, 333 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: so you still are hanging in there and see a 334 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: lot more upside. Marty says, We're gonna have to leave 335 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: it there, unfortunately, but you can come back and explain 336 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: more because it's really interesting. Chairman and chief executive off 337 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: sort of m d sas investor services, uh, coming to 338 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: us from New York and definitely an interesting kind of idea. 339 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: On a day like this is people reflect on what 340 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: happened a decade ago. The macro trends don't seem to 341 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: be driving the world at least today, just as much 342 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: this is Bloomberg. There are a lot of headlines about 343 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: brexit PIM. I don't know about you, but when I 344 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: see them sometimes I think, another incremental move? Do we 345 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: have to pay attention to this one? Um? Do you 346 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: think that's who? Sometimes come on? True confession? I gotta say, 347 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I find so 348 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: amazing about it is the change in tone from when 349 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom joined the European Union and the tone 350 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: that exists currently trying to exit the European So the contrast, 351 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: to me is is always something that I'm thinking about 352 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: when I see those headlines and the contrast between the 353 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: persimism that we have seen and perhaps a little bit 354 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: of optimism that there will actually be a Brexit deal. 355 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Let's bring in Timorros. He actually knows what's going on 356 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more directly, UK reporter covering government politics 357 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: and of course Brexit for Bloomberg News in London. Tim, 358 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. So it 359 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: seems like there is a move that is being made 360 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: towards signing some sort of Brexit deal that is really 361 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: sort of a crucial moment that isn't just incremental. Can 362 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: you tell us more? That's right? Well, if this happens, 363 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: and it's not been completely nailed down as an idea yet, 364 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: what would what would happen would be that the UK 365 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: and the European Union would sit down all the twenty 366 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: seven leaders plus Theresa May from the UK would sit 367 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: down in the middle of November in Brussels probably and 368 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: sign the deal. But before we get to that point, 369 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: there has to be a deal obviously, and there's still 370 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: quite a lot that needs to be done there. The 371 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: biggest issue that's outstanding is still how to avoid security 372 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: and police checks and customs checks at the border between 373 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: Ireland and the UK. That is that's been deadlocked for 374 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: months and it's still deadlocked. Tim Ross, what is the 375 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: future of Teresa May, the British Prime Minister. Well, there's 376 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: a good question. If I had the answer to that, 377 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: I think I'd be a rich man by now. But 378 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: that we've had we've had a lot of we've had 379 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: a lot of speculations in the last twenty four hours 380 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: that her own Conservative Party members of Parliament are plotting 381 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: to get rid of her and replace her with somebody 382 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: who will pursue a harder form of Brexit and more 383 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: decisive split between the UK and the EU. What she's 384 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: proposing is actually to keep very close ties, certainly for 385 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: trading goods with the European Union. But plenty of people 386 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: in her party, like Boris Johnson, the former Foreign Secretary, 387 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: wants a much cleaner break, and some of them last 388 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: night spent a couple of hours discussing exactly how to 389 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: go about replacing her and getting rid of her. Now. 390 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: The next month is the Conservative Party's Convention. They have 391 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: an annual conference um and that is a moment of 392 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: some danger for the Prime Minister where she will have 393 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: to face her own team, her own side and persuade 394 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: them to keep her. So I'm trying to just understand 395 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: the time frame here, because this potential breakthrough may happen 396 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: in November. What happens if Britain is unable to come 397 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: to some agreement with how Brexit will be enacted within 398 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: the next twelve months, well, it's got to happen before then. Ideally, 399 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, so Brexit is due to happen on the 400 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty ninth of March. That doesn't leave very much time 401 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: at all for things to go wrong in November. The 402 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: reason for that is that once there is a deal, 403 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: that the two negotiating teams have signed, that deal then 404 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: have to get through both the UK Parliament, and we 405 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: know how difficult that is and also the European Parliament. 406 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: And if those two parliaments don't agree that the terms 407 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: of that divorce deal are acceptable, then the whole process 408 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: gets held up again. And as I say, under European law, 409 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: as things stand, the UK will automatically leave the European 410 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: Union on March to twenty ninth, even if there's no deal, 411 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: so it's got to happen quite quickly. The future of 412 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: of these Brexit negotiations depend not only on who's negotiating 413 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: from the UK, but also what the negotiators from the 414 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: European Union one. Is there any detail about any consensus 415 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: on their part. So we've been reporting in the last 416 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: two or three weeks or so that the big issues 417 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: I was saying earlier that's still to be solved is 418 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: this question of the Irish border, and it's incredibly sensitive 419 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: because obviously, with a history of conflict on the island 420 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: of Ireland, nobody wants to see a return to anything 421 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: that could potentially split communities in the North and the 422 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: South from each other anymore than they already are, and 423 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: and certainly no one wants to return to any any 424 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: tensions or violence there. So they are absolutely determined to 425 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: sort that out. That's the European Union's priority, and the 426 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: UK recognizes it has to solve that issue and find 427 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: a solution to the border. Beyond that, there's the separate 428 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: issue of what the future will look like, what kind 429 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: of trading relationship after Brexit the UK will have with 430 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: the European Union That looks like it will be a 431 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: much fuzzier, hazier, more sort of open to interpretation kind 432 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: of statement when the deal comes, and then the details 433 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: on that will have to be worked out over the 434 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: next couple of years after Britain has left the EU. 435 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for joining us. 436 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: Tim Ross is our UK government reporter for Bloomberg and 437 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: listare just looking at the pounds sterling right now, trades 438 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: at one thirty thirty two, a little stronger against the 439 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: U S starlar, but if you compare it to what 440 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: it was trade being at back in April down nearly ten. 441 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: There was a story on the Bloomberg today talking about 442 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: how New York has surpassed London as the world's financial 443 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: headquarters in the wake of Brexit. But I have seen 444 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: conflicting studies with respect to just how much has actually 445 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: changed in the fortunes of London, in particular because that's 446 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: the most global city in the nation. But you know 447 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: just how much the fortunes have changed in the heels 448 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: of this, and of course we do have that populist 449 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: wave sweeping other areas, so a lot of eyes on 450 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: how exactly this goes down. Yes, and we'll be looking 451 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: forward to that November summit, if indeed it really does 452 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: take place.
