00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: Pieces of news coming across the tape here this morning

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: on the tech side is Microsoft's Xbox unit plans to

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: cut thirty two hundred jobs and invest studios in another

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: overall here, Brody Ford, Bloomberg Technology reporter, joined us here. Brody,

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: what's going on at Microsoft here?

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: Today?

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: Pretty much across the industry of technology, you see companies

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 4: trying to rethink where they're spending money. A lot of

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: this is fuel because they're spending so much on AI

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 4: and building our data centers and infrastructures that they're taking

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: a closer look across all divisions. So today Xbox is

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: the one that we see really kind of getting that hammer.

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 4: They laid out a plan to cut about twenty percent

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: of staff over the next year, and broader at Microsoft,

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: it's a plan to cut about sixty four hundred people. Again,

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: just kind of trimming both an Xbox and sales trying

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: to reorient for what they say will help you know,

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: them grow in this next era.

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 5: Brody, what is the rationale for Microsoft keeping Xbox? The

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 5: CEO of the Xbox division wrote in a note to

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 5: staff this morning, And this is based on your reporting

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 5: that Xbox is operating at margins three to ten times

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: lower than comparable businesses. I mean, financially, it's not keeping up.

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 5: So why does Microsoft want to keep it?

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: It's a good question. Microsoft really has traditionally struggled with

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: consumer businesses. You know, every time they've kind of tried

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: to spin up, say like a smartphone or things of

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: this nature over history, it hasn't always gone super well.

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: Xbox they've been traditionally committed to because it was a

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: unique blend of hardware and software and they found a

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: niche in it. And yeah, today is them trying to

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: reorient that business into something that they can keep and

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: grow for the long term. So you see them spinning

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: off a lot of studios talking about how owning content

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: makers maybe isn't the business they want to be in,

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: but owning the platform is something they're still interested in doing.

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: How much is Xbox do we know of their total revenue?

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Like how material is it for the financials of this company.

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: It's a decent chunk of revenue, right, I mean the

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: issue is the profit. A lot of people buy video games,

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 4: a lot of people buy consoles, but you know, Microsoft

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: has really struggled to make it super profitable. I think

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: a lot of people forget about the Activision acquisition a

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 4: couple of years ago. I mean, I think I was saying,

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: like sixty nine billion dollars, it was one of the

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: biggest tech acquisitions of all time. And yet a couple

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: of years later we find that the margins haven't kept up,

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: the growth isn't quite what they hoped it would be.

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 4: Of course, we have the component crunch, right. A lot

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: of things like chips and memory have increased in price,

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: which kind of accelerate all of these issues. So it

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: is a material business for Microsoft. It's something they're ready

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 4: to throw away, but it's something that they feel they

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: need to really kind of take a closer look at.

60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: I know you don't cover Sony per se, but how

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: do Xbox's fortunes compare with say, the Sony PlayStation.

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 4: A lot of console makers are struggling right now because

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: of that memory crunch, Because AI has essentially messed with

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: the supply chains for a lot of different components that

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: go into computers and infrastructures. And so if you're a

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: console maker that's already running at pretty slim margins and

67
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden your memory chips double in price,

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: that's going to make everything tough. And more broadly, content

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: makers are needing to compete against, you know, a wider

70
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: variety of content that's going to be created with AI.

71
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: I mean, as it relates to Triple A game, they're not,

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: you know, being created with AI. But there's just so

73
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: many more places for eyeballs to be focused on these

74
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: days that if you're selling content, it's a more competitive market.

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Microsoft stocks down year to dat. It's rare that you

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: see that kind of performance out of Microsoft. What's the

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: feeling within the office is that they're Redmond Washington? I mean,

78
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: did they talk about their stock? Did they ignore their stock?

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: How did they kind of just talk about it? Think

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: about it?

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: When you ask an executive, they say, oh, I don't

82
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: care about the stock price. I focus on executing. You

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: ask an employee and they say, what the heck is

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: going on with our stock price? Right? And that's consistent

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: across all companies. The big thing for Microsoft, and you

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: can see with other hyper skills, you can see with

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: Oracle very well, is that, on one hand, Wall Street

88
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: is worried about all this spending, is it going to

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: pay off all the data centers. On the other end,

90
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: there are traditional software businesses that have really created the

91
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: cash cow that is Microsoft. Does that last in the

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: age of AI? So they kind of have these two

93
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: concurrent fears which are leading to, yeah, some weakness for

94
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: a stock that has been just a pretty consistent safe

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: harbor and so much choppiness over the market recent years.

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: Brody, I know you cover Microsoft. That company is going

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: to be reporting its quarterly results at the end of

98
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: this month. Will this Xbox closure do you think result

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: in some surprising financials on earnings day?

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: What I would expect to hear them talk about is

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: ongoing focus on margins, which you know is corporate speak

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: for we're planning to fire twenty percent of people at Xbox.

103
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: You know, I think we'll hear them talk about how, look,

104
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 4: we're spending a ton of money on our data centers,

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: on our chips, Our capex is in the past hundreds

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: of billions of dollars a year. But we're doing what

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: we can to trim costs everywhere, and we're going to

108
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: make sure that we're really getting an ROI out of

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 4: every dollar. I think that will be the high level message,

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: and if you poke underneath that, you see phenomena like

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: the cost cuts today.

112
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 6: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming up after this.

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. Kind of flying under the radar

118
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: screen here, we're kind of getting a quasi IPO coming soon.

119
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: Sk Heinex, the Korean company they make all the memory

120
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: chip stocks up like a jillion percent. They're going to

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: list seventeen point seven nine million shares ADRs in the US,

122
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: and I think that's if I'm my math is correct,

123
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: that's like a twenty eight billion dollar offering. I mean,

124
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: we're kind of getting numbed to these huge numbers with Goldman,

125
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Google doing their secondary earlier this year, and

126
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: all the big IPOs we've seen with SpaceX. But let's

127
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: put it in context here. We can do that with

128
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: the Bailey Lipschaltz, senior equities reporter for Bloomberg News. Bailey

129
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: talked to us about what sk heinez is doing. Yeah,

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: so this is a company.

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 7: To your point, nominally a twenty eight billion would be

132
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 7: the third largest IPO ever on any exchange, so behind SpaceX,

133
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 7: behind Saudi Aramco, which is pretty mind boggling, to be

134
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 7: completely honest. The thing to keep in mind is so

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 7: this is an adr adr IPO, So basically they're selling

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 7: shares for the first time here in the US. They

137
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 7: will maintain a home listing on the other side of

138
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 7: the world in South Korea. Each ADR represents one tenth

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 7: of one common share. Why does that all matter? A.

140
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 7: As you mentioned, a twenty eight billion dollar offering is

141
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 7: very large. B this is a company worth more than

142
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 7: a trillion dollars. And see this opens up everyone on

143
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 7: Wall Street, everyone in the US to now actually trade

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 7: sk Heinex on New York hours, on US hours and

145
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 7: be able to cater to not only retail investors but

146
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 7: institutional investors. We already saw Bailey, Gifford Cochu and Situational

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 7: Awareness partners indicating they want to buy as much as

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 7: seven billion dollars of this deal. So big numbers, but

149
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 7: it's also a right time for the company.

150
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: Timing. I've heard people talk about maybe this feels a

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: little top of the market kind of thing. Are you

152
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: hearing that out in the marketplace?

153
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

154
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 7: When we talk to people, the main question is can

155
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 7: we structurally say this time is different and why does

156
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 7: that matter? For semiconductors. Semiconductors are the most cyclical business

157
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 7: on Wall Street, So this is an industry that booms

158
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 7: and busts. Is kind of the PC and smartphone eras evolve,

159
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 7: and is sales kind of mature. From there, the big

160
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 7: question is will we continue to see demand for building

161
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 7: out data centers? Will we continue to see that here

162
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 7: on Earth and potentially as SpaceX wants to do in space?

163
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 7: And the big question from there goes, these are companies

164
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 7: that want to spend hundreds of billion dollars to build

165
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 7: out manufacturing capacity right now there's a bottleneck to get

166
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 7: compute and get access to these chips.

167
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, what happens if it's not that easy? And that's

168
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: the big risk. So just from a US listing, perspective,

169
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: do is this going to go in various indices? The

170
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: is ske heinis in the various indexes around the world.

171
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 7: It's in some when you just kind of look using

172
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 7: the WGT function, which will pull up which indexes the

173
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 7: company is in. Obviously, again it's one of the bigger,

174
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 7: bigger companies in the world, so it's in obviously a

175
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 7: big driver behind the costpy the Korean Exchange. It's also

176
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 7: in a number of those Emerging Market et emerging market indexes.

177
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 7: The big thing to keep an eye on. The big

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 7: thing that does matter is it's not eligible for fast

179
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 7: tracked Nasdaq one hundred inclusion, but in the long run

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 7: it will likely be included in the Nasdaq and one

181
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 7: hundred and everything that that brings. Obviously, we talked about

182
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 7: that with SpaceX. That is a fundamental shift for a

183
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 7: company again that has been very difficult to trade for

184
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 7: US investors. And then the question from there goes, Okay,

185
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 7: do we get to see double and triple leverty tfs

186
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 7: and kind of what happens with that entire explosion from there?

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: So will this open up new buyers, I guess potential

188
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: new owners for this stock.

189
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, when we've spoke with a number of institutional investors,

190
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 7: whether they couldn't trade companies that are listed in an

191
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 7: emerging market, whether they just don't want the headache of

192
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 7: worrying about foreign exchange and hedging some of those risks.

193
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 7: Those have been top of mind. We do know a

194
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: few investors that we spoke to for our story that

195
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 7: went out Sunday morning. There also are investors who just

196
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 7: aren't comfortable with an ADR. They want to own companies

197
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 7: that are domiciled here. They want to own companies that

198
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 7: they're primary listing is in the US as opposed to this.

199
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see what kind of premium it

200
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 7: trades at. This is kind of ripping off the playbook

201
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 7: that we saw with Taiwan Semi, but again that was

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 7: a company that raised a few hundred million, not closer

203
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 7: to thirty billion.

204
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: What's the timing of this deal.

205
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 7: It'll price, It'll trade on Friday. We expect pricing to

206
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 7: happen sometime Thursday morning here, so that it would open

207
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 7: up kind of making sure that people are able to

208
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 7: trade accordingly in South Korea their Friday morning. It's a

209
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 7: truncated process, it's a quicker process. But even talking to

210
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 7: the bankers on the deal. If you want to invest

211
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 7: in Eski Hiinix, you probably know who the company is

212
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 7: and you're not selling a new entire pitch. The one

213
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 7: thing that we've been pointing out is their main roadshow

214
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 7: at one thirty pm New York time will be the

215
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 7: only real interaction with management on a webcast for potential

216
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 7: just a webcast, kind of a webcast, very quick process. Again,

217
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 7: it's tied to it. Ye over complicated, Just.

218
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: Another great day to be an IPEEL banker.

219
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, they're making I think it was fifty biffs

220
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 7: on this deal, So okay. We had a few bankers

221
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 7: who said, you know this is this isn't easy. But

222
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 7: when you compare to being at the beck and Call

223
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 7: of elon Musk night and day between the spacexipo exactly.

224
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: And then how about Anthropics that's still thinking maybe fall,

225
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: late fall something like that.

226
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 7: We've heard nothing to change expectations around that September October timeframe. Obviously,

227
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 7: potential delay of open AI into next year becomes a

228
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 7: question of if you're Anthropic, do you need to race

229
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 7: and get out in September or do you want to

230
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 7: have a better kind of a visibility business maybe in

231
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: that October November timeframe.

232
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 6: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming up after this.

237
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: We want to go now to our colleague in London, who,

238
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: along with his colleagues, have put together a list of

239
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: ten companies to watch for in the third quarter of

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. There are companies that dabble in Chips,

241
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 5: chocolate and Barbie. So let's check in with Tim Craighead,

242
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 5: he is our global Chief Content Officer, on the ten

243
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 5: companies that you want to watch for right now? Good morning, Tim.

244
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: What's the first one you would want to highlight?

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 8: Well, if you don't mind, I'll give you just a

246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 8: little bit of context on this, just to put it

247
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 8: into some perspective. I think you set it up quite well,

248
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 8: but I would just simply add that these ten are

249
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 8: part of a broader group of what we call focus ideas,

250
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 8: which are high conviction, fundamental views that our analysts have

251
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 8: across sectors across the globe. There's about one hundred and

252
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 8: sixty of them, and the reason why we got to

253
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 8: these ten is that they all have timely catalysts coming

254
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 8: up in the third quarter that we think can change

255
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 8: the market perception company by company. And look, you know,

256
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 8: the biggest when it's in AI, it's very much it

257
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 8: seems like out of favor is Microsoft. You know, this

258
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 8: is a this is a stock that has been under

259
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 8: pressure since last autumn, even while other hyperscalers like Amazon

260
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 8: and Google have been have been trading better. In the

261
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 8: semiconductor companies clearly that are all AI driven have been

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 8: have been on fire. And you know, bottom line, it

263
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 8: seems like the perception is that Microsoft is going to

264
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 8: be disrupted, you know, to use the buzzword. But in

265
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 8: our perspective, you know, they've got one of the biggest,

266
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 8: if not the biggest LLLM cloud platforms that are being used,

267
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 8: and they've got a new Microsoft three sixty five suite

268
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 8: that comes out in the second half. We think both

269
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 8: of those can continue to drive revenue that's going to

270
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 8: positively surprise.

271
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Barbie Mattel. What's your story there, Tim.

272
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, the interesting thing with this is not all

273
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 8: of these focus ideas, Not all of these ten companies

274
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 8: are constructive positive calls. There's also ones where we're cautious

275
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 8: or concerned, and that's the case with Mattel. You know,

276
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 8: there was a nice big surge in doll demand, Barbie

277
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 8: demand in and around the Barbie Movie a couple of

278
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 8: years ago, going back to your stomping around Paul in media,

279
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 8: and we've seen since then is a progressive shift more

280
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 8: towards building sets and trading cards. In terms of what's

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 8: cool in the world of toys, dolls are not, and

282
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 8: we think that there's continued disappointment from the standpoint of

283
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 8: doll sales, specifically Barbie, as we look through the second

284
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 8: half of the year.

285
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: I did see Toy Story and I feel like, you know,

286
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 5: maybe that gives a little.

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: Bit of a jumpstart to Toy Story five.

288
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 6: Toy Story five and what do you think. I liked it?

289
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it was good.

290
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: I liked you know, the face off against tech and

291
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: screens and all that.

292
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 8: But I digress, tim I wanted to do we will hear, yeah,

293
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 8: we will hear more about that in their earning to release.

294
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: So okay, so that is something we can update as

295
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 5: we get closer to that, I want to get to

296
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: a European company as well, because you have a solar

297
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: edge as a company to watch for in Europe, and

298
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: I think about what's going on with the heat wave

299
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: there and how energy security continues to be an issue

300
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: for the continent.

301
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is all about energy security, and you know

302
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 8: it's it's been lit up obviously yet again in the

303
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 8: wake of the crisis or the conflict in the Middle East.

304
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 8: You know, it started to begin with with Russia, Ukraine

305
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 8: and Europe is in the is in Thenazi and no

306
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 8: pun intended. And the ramp up that we're seeing in

307
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,119
Speaker 8: terms of solar equipment related orders we think will continue

308
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 8: to surprise. It's been recovering for a for a couple

309
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 8: of quarters and we think that there is more to

310
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 8: come and not fully yet appreciated. But it is all

311
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 8: about it's European business, even though I think it's actually

312
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 8: based in Illinois, but the European opportunity is what's driving revenue. Surprise.

313
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Hong Kong Land, What is this company and why should

314
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: we be paying attention?

315
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, if if either of you or any of

316
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 8: the listeners have been to Hong Kong. One of the

317
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 8: iconic buildings right on the Central Hong Kong Business District

318
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 8: waterfront as these famous circular circular windows. That's these guys

319
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 8: building along with many others. And the whole thing that's

320
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 8: going on with Hong Kong in terms of office is

321
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 8: it's coming back to life. You know, it was under

322
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 8: a significant amount of pressure post pandemic and the National

323
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 8: Security Law being implemented. People were leaving, businesses were leaving,

324
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 8: but they are now coming back. There's a surge in

325
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 8: the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. IPOs are alive, the financial

326
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 8: markets are alive, Professionals are coming back, and rents are rising,

327
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 8: and that asset value for Hong Kong Lands specifically, we

328
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 8: think is on the p swing.

329
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 6: Us More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming up after this.

334
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: No Vartis agreed to buy British biotech Myrix Bio for

335
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: as much as one point five billion dollars, adding an

336
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: experimental cancer drug designed to deliver more potent treatments directly

337
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: to tumors while limiting damage to healthy sales. Let's break

338
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 2: it down plus all the healthcare news. We can do

339
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: that with Sam Fazzelli. He's a director of research and

340
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: he's a pharmaceutical analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. He's based in London.

341
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: Sam talk to us about no vartis kind of what

342
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: are their strengths, where do they need to get better

343
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: and what are they doing with this particular deal.

344
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: So Paul first, happy post source of July.

345
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 9: Thank you guys all before you're readependent from the British

346
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 9: all those year two hundred and fifty years ago and

347
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 9: to the audience obviously. So here here we have no

348
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 9: artist buying a cancer drug company. Novarts is already quite

349
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 9: active in cancer. In fact, one of the areas that

350
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 9: they are quite active in is getting radio radioactive material

351
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 9: to your tumor. Rather than you going to get radiation

352
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 9: from an external beam or a machine, this is things

353
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 9: that are kind of trying to target the tumor, particularly

354
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 9: prostate cancer in this case that they've got a marker

355
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 9: on prostate cancer cells get radioactivity in there. But one

356
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 9: of the other things that has been evolving very rapidly

357
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 9: recently is getting chemotherapy directly to the tumor rather than

358
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 9: ejecting it all over the body. The hope being that

359
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 9: you can reduce the side effect profile and increase the efficacy.

360
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 9: That's what this new deal is, and this is something

361
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 9: relatively new for them. They had deals like this before

362
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 9: when you look back in twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen,

363
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 9: they had on some of these antibody drug contrigate type deals,

364
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 9: but obviously that's over ten years ago for the later deal,

365
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 9: so nothing seemed to have come out of that. So

366
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 9: this is there back into that space, and I think

367
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 9: it's quite an interesting, clever deal. Big upfront number though,

368
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 9: that's quite interesting. One point one billion dollars cash upfront.

369
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 5: So I'm glad you bring up that point. That idea

370
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: of big upfront payments is that.

371
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: The new norm now in these kinds of deals.

372
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 9: So I don't know how competitive this deal was. I'm

373
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 9: hoping to talk to some of the founders who I

374
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 9: know because they're in our backyard right to try and understand,

375
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 9: you know, what was it that attracted the artists so

376
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 9: strongly to this. I mean you know, this is a

377
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 9: British biotech company, so that means automatically that they're not

378
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 9: necessarily able to go and raise hundreds of millions from

379
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 9: the local market. They are in pre clinical stage, or

380
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 9: very close to at least what publicly information.

381
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: The publicly available information we have is pret clinical.

382
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 9: So this is a rich number for in such an

383
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 9: early company, and there's very little chance that they would

384
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 9: have been able to go public. So whin of artists

385
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 9: paid so much upfront rather than do what usually happens,

386
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 9: I pay a smaller amount and leave the rest of

387
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 9: it for milestone in the year two three years time.

388
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 9: It's going to be interesting to find out they do

389
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 9: have some very clever chemistry in here. And this is

390
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 9: not just an ordinary for want of a better phrase,

391
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 9: not that any of these drugs are ordinary antibody drug

392
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 9: contrigate they have they have new drugs that they're trying.

393
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: To get into the tumors. So that's that's interesting.

394
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: How is what's what's the call out there on the

395
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: VARDI stock these days?

396
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: Sam?

397
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: What do people have to kind of believe here to

398
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: jump on this one?

399
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

400
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 9: So the shares, the shares have been doing reasonably well,

401
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 9: the company's got a decent pipeline. They're one of their

402
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 9: big drugs is Cocentics, which is not for oncology. It's

403
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 9: for psoriasis and and that type of disease arthritis type

404
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: diseases or t immune diseases, caut it that way, and

405
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 9: that's a big drug, and some people are worried about

406
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 9: it going off pattern.

407
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: Like every former company, that's the rule of the game

408
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 3: with them.

409
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 9: We think in our group that Cocentics has got a

410
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 9: longer life that people think.

411
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: So you know, they have an.

412
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 9: Active oncology business where there's some again same sort of story,

413
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 9: but with those radio chemicals, if you remember, are highlighted,

414
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 9: and a whole bunch of other drugs that are coming on.

415
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 9: And here I think they're going into this. This is

416
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 9: going to be a long way off in terms of

417
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 9: paying back because it's a pretty clarical early phase, right,

418
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 9: so it's going to be five, ten years, eight years,

419
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 9: So it's not aimed at today's problems. A bit like

420
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 9: the type of Lily deals we were talking about last week,

421
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 9: which are some early deals that are being designed to

422
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 9: make sure the company has got assets to keep thriving

423
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 9: going forward.

424
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: And this can pay off in many different ways.

425
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 9: Remember, these chemicals can be attached to anybody to attack

426
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 9: different types of tumors.

427
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: So it's a platform.

428
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 5: It's a platform, and everyone's trying to build one. Let

429
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 5: me get your thoughts Sam overall on M and A

430
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: in the space, you mentioned the Lily deals, and we

431
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: know that Lily is operating from a position of strength,

432
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: being able to go out and build up its pipeline

433
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: in a way that perhaps other drug makers aren't able to.

434
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 5: Who else is operating from that kind of position of

435
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: strength in addition to Eli Lilly.

436
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, so Mark has got a pretty good cash flow position,

437
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 9: astroslic has got strong cash flow. G skated a deal

438
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 9: one of the deals we spoke about recently. So most

439
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 9: of the farmer companies are in a pretty decent shape Abby.

440
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 9: You know, they've got great, great growth and you can

441
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 9: see analysts are upgrading the stock on almost a daily basis.

442
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: So most companies do.

443
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 9: Pfizer is the one that has done it's M and

444
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 9: A to a degree, and now we're waiting for that

445
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 9: to bear fruit. The latest one. They have done other

446
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 9: deals that have been doing licensing, their partnership deals. So

447
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 9: most farmer companies are in a position of strength from

448
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 9: a cash brow perspective to be able to do these

449
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 9: types of deals, and their balance sheets are relatively light

450
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 9: across the sector as a whole, and so there's access

451
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 9: to credit two if they want the to.
