Speaker 1: Estimates were for forty two cents. eBay boosting its yearly forecast.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Intel second quarter adjusted EPs fifty nine cents, estimates there

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: fifty four cents, and American Express said second quarter profit

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: rose thirty seven percent as customers increased spending in the

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: company booked a billion dollar gain from the sale of

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: its Costco wholesale core portfolio stocks, hire, S and p

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: at a record seventy three up nine points, a gain

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: of four tenths, up one percent. The down Jones Industrial

17

Speaker 1: fifty the ounce to drop of one gold at thirteen

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: fourteen the ounce. I'm Charlie Pellets, and that's a Bloomberg

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Business flash. You're listening to Taking Stock with and Pim

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Fox on Bloomberg Radio. Shares of Intel are down about

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: one and a quarter percent right now after reporting quarterly results.

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Here to tell us more on on Trin of Austin,

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: his senior semiconductor and hardware analysts for Bloomberg Intelligence, providing

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: unique and real time research and a variety of industries

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and markets as well as government factors that affect business.

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Our terminal customers can access this function at b I

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: go on on, tell me about what's going on with Intel.

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: I think these were very solid numbers, both for the

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: current quarter as well as for the guidance, which is

30
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: a more important factor for semi conductor stocks, which tend

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: to are be very forward looking. But I think this

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: is also a case where the stock got ahead of itself.

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the stock is seventeen percent since the twenty

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: seventh of last month. So you had multiple data points

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: from the food chain hard to strive makers. You had

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: market research firms such as Gardner and i DC come

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: out and saying, hey, the PP business is not as

38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: bad as we thought it was. The US is actually

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: showing growth. So you had several data points come out

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: and the stock has moved in advance of that. So

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: despite good numbers, the stocks a little week. But these

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: are very very solid numbers across the board, both for

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: the current quarter as well as guidance. Spin tell me

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: about the server business at Intel and what that portends

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: for the future. Look, I mean this is this is

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: a company and transition as they try very hard to

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: move away from PCs UM and into focus more on

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: the data center business, which is UH, which is growing

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: okay for them, they want to hit year on your growth,

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: but the in in the long term they well might.

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: But the more important part of it is is this

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: is a high profitable business for them, with not as

53
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: much volatility UM as the PC business. UM a PC

54
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: business does. So if you look at Q two for

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: the data center business, the average selling prices were actually up,

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: unlike the PC business, so UM compared to Q two

57
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: of last year that UM overall Q versus Q two UH,

58
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: they they had a positive mid single digit revenue in

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: that in that division, UM units were up about eight

60
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: percent and selling prices were only down about two On

61
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: we should we make anything of those increased restructuring charges

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: one point six billion of four hundred million from the

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: previous guidance on restructuring. Yeah, this is part of the pivot.

64
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Pivot might be moving a little faster than than than

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: initially thought away from the PC business. So it actually

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: should be taken as a positive step in that they're

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: a will to reduce headcount and just cost a little

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: faster than they thought originally. So I think it should

69
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: be translated to the positive. The one point, you know,

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Intel has hasn't had the best history of timing of

71
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: movements in terms of markets. The one thing that I'm

72
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: nervous about is the fact that are we moving too

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: quickly away from PCs just when PCs are starting to

74
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: show signs of life. So, um, it's an interesting, interesting

75
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: time in the PC market. But we'll have to wait

76
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: and see how how that trend plays out. One quarter

77
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: doesn't other trend make all right? And just last day,

78
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on the Internet connected

79
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: devices and that business. For Intel, it's too small of

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: a business to be quite honest. They've thrown a whole

81
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: bunch of things in there. So it's it's early. Um,

82
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: it's early days in that business. But at the end

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: of the day, the fact that it hasn't caused a

84
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: dramatic reduction in sales or EPs, as there is a

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of that business. Is UH is a step in

86
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: the right direction. I'm going to turn your attention now

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: on onto Qualcom. The stock is up nearly four percent

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: in after hours trading. Tell us about Qualcom's results. So, Qualcom,

89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: this is a case where expectations were relatively low. The

90
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: company has faced substantial loss of market share across the

91
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: board UM. So the fact that they came um relatively

92
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: in line is slightly better than street numbers for the

93
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: June quarter and for the for the September guidances. Is

94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: UH is a step again in the right direction. It's

95
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: a question of how management spins. It is what the

96
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: long term prognosis for for their presence in the handset

97
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: business looks like, yeah, well, they're talking about the September

98
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: period that ends in September, and they said that profit

99
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: before certain times is going to be between a dollar

100
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: and five cents to dollar fifteen cents. Previously analysts we're

101
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,559
Speaker 1: looking for a dollar eight eight right, So so again

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: it's a it's a question of how you how you

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: The context is, look at the end of the day,

104
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: when when we moved from two G, two three G

105
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: and three G to four G. The next version of

106
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: technology was right there, so as people were moving from

107
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: one to the other, Quacolm was always ahead of the

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: curve and had a certain amount of chips in the

109
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: next generation. The problem with US now is Qualcomm is

110
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: the market leader in four G and three G and

111
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: five G isn't around yet. There's nothing to upsell. So

112
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: the Johnny Come late Leads of the world are taking

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: share substantially from Qualcom in every segment of the market,

114
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: and Qualcomm is um the market share leader, and it's

115
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: got nothing to do but see that market share, particularly

116
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: when pricing comes into play. Well, I'm looking at Qualcom

117
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: stock right now up seven and a quarter percent. The

118
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: company getting its profit mainly from patent licensing. Tell us

119
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: about what they're trying to do. In China, that's the

120
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: world's largest smartphone market. Yeah, so this is a market

121
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: that is still moving upstream in terms of volume and

122
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: the distribution of phones across um UM three G still

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: moving to four G. So as non brand name phones,

124
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: particularly such as Opo, uh cel, Me, Vivo, etcetera, moved

125
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: from using um media tech chips to more Qualcom chips

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: or more importantly PG tips to four D tips their

127
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: revenue expand. So anything they can do in China and

128
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: spend that story in a positive lady is a good

129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: for Qualcom. Thank you very much. On on scrint of
