Speaker 2: Markets are bracing for results from Nvidia. They come out
Speaker 2: after the closing bill this afternoon. Stocks are trading near
Speaker 2: all time highs ahead of those earnings. At Yard Denny
Speaker 2: of yr Denny Research says there is still plenty of
Speaker 2: money on the sidelines that will be put to work.
Speaker 3: The market has demonstrated not only that it's a bullmarket,
Speaker 3: but it's it's a very superchargabull market. I think what's
Speaker 3: supercharging that is there's still a tremendous amount of liquidity
Speaker 3: in the financial system.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: The increase in indust rates encouraged a lot of people
Speaker 3: to pile into money market mutual funds. So we have
Speaker 3: a record six trillion dollars in money market mutual funds
Speaker 3: and two and a half trillion of that is retail
Speaker 3: and is the FED lowers into streets that money. Some
Speaker 3: of that money will pour into the stock market.
Speaker 2: Investor ed Yard Denny remains one of the biggest bulls
Speaker 2: on Wall Street well as.
Speaker 1: For Nvidia, Nathan, the results could have a huge impact
Speaker 1: not only on that stock, but the overall market. The
Speaker 1: options market implies a move of nearly ten percent in
Speaker 1: either direction. The day after, we get an earnings preview
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's Tom Busby.
Speaker 5: Wall Street expecting Nvidia to report blowout results for its
Speaker 5: latest quarter on blockbuster sales of its AI chips and
Speaker 5: the big focus its outlook. Some are expecting revenue growth
Speaker 5: rising as much as seventy percent for the current quarter,
Speaker 5: and despite sufficient demand for its current chip lineup, investors
Speaker 5: will want to hear the latest on the delayed rollout
Speaker 5: of its upcoming Blackwell chips. Consensus calls for revenue of
Speaker 5: twenty eight point eighty six billion on adjusted earning some
Speaker 5: sixty five cents a share. Tom Busby, Bloomberg Radio, All.
Speaker 1: Right, Tom, thanks, and ahead of those results, shares of
Speaker 1: Nvidia are up half percent. After we get the results,
Speaker 1: joined Bloomberg Technology for a half hour in vidias special
Speaker 1: highlighted by an exclusive interview with CEO Jensen Wong. That's
Speaker 1: at six thirty pm Wall Street time on Bloomberg Radio
Speaker 1: and television.
Speaker 2: Will we be keeping an eye on shares of a
Speaker 2: Bank of America, Karen, they're a little change to the
Speaker 2: downside in early trading, but Warren Buffett is continuing to
Speaker 2: unload his stake in the US's second biggest bank. Buffett's
Speaker 2: Berkshire Hathaway sold an additional nine hundred eighty two million
Speaker 2: dollars in Bank of America. The conglomerate has trimmed its
Speaker 2: steak by almost thirteen percent since mid July, generating five
Speaker 2: point four billion dollars. Berkshire still remains the bank's biggest stockholder,
Speaker 2: with almost nine hundred four million shares worth thirty five
Speaker 2: point nine billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, there's job cuts at Apple. Bloomberg News has
Speaker 1: learned the iPhone maker took the rare step of cutting
Speaker 1: about one hundred positions in its digital services group. The
Speaker 1: layoffs included some engineering roles, and the biggest cuts were
Speaker 1: at the team responsible for the Apple Books app and
Speaker 1: Apple Bookstore. There were also layoffs and other services teams,
Speaker 1: including the one that runs Apple News Karen.
Speaker 2: Job cuts maybe on the way at HSBC. Bloomberg News
Speaker 2: has learned Europe's biggest lender is considering plans that would
Speaker 2: remove layers of middle management. Sources say incoming CEO George
Speaker 2: Elle Hedriy's looking at moves similar to rival City Group
Speaker 2: and Standard Chartered. Bloomberg's Adam Haig has more from Sydney.
Speaker 6: This is the first sign of what we're seeing from
Speaker 6: the new CEO and really wanting to make his mark
Speaker 6: early on in terms of the cost control. So what
Speaker 6: we know at this point is that it's likely to
Speaker 6: affect middle management roles, so that could include country head
Speaker 6: type roles in some of its global network. But there's
Speaker 6: still uncertainty as to how this plays out, and of
Speaker 6: course these plans are potentially subject to change of course
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Adam Haig says the discussions are the latest sign
Speaker 2: the banks looking to rein in costs as rate cuts
Speaker 2: threaten the margins of global lenders like HSBC.
Speaker 1: Well. Another news this morning, Nathan SpaceX is once again
Speaker 1: delaying the first ever private spacewalk, this time because of
Speaker 1: weather after Tuesday's initial launch was scrubbed for a helium lake.
Speaker 1: SpaceX says it's standing down from liftoff opportunities today and
Speaker 1: tomorrow because of an unfavorable forecast in the spacecraft's splash
Speaker 1: down area off the coast of Florida. SpaceX says teams
Speaker 1: will continue to monitor weather for better conditions if it
Speaker 1: gets off the ground. Polaris Dawn is in for a
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty minute spacewalk by two of the four
Speaker 1: private astronauts on board.
Speaker 2: Back on Earth, Karen. The US Special Council investigating Donald
Speaker 2: Trump for election interference is pressing ahead. Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons
Speaker 2: has the latest.
Speaker 7: Special Council Jack Smith is not giving up on his
Speaker 7: prosecution of Donald Trump, even though he faced a setback
Speaker 7: this summer before the Supreme Court. He's filed an updated
Speaker 7: indictment following the court's rolling that Trump was at least
Speaker 7: partially immune from prosecution related to his official access president.
Speaker 7: The new indictment removes allegations related to Trump's communications with
Speaker 7: government officials at the Department of Justice during his presidency,
Speaker 7: but it keeps intact the same four charges against Trump,
Speaker 7: which include accusations of conspiring to overturn election results in Washington.
Speaker 7: Nancy Lyons Bloomberg Radio, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Nancy, thank you. Now, let's get to the latest
Speaker 1: on geopolitics. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is
Speaker 1: meeting for a second day with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang
Speaker 1: Yi in the outskirts of Beijing. Bloomberg Staldesus is in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong and says the two leaders have a full played.
Speaker 8: The US obviously feels very strongly about China's involvements in
Speaker 8: backing of Russian forces fighting the war in Ukraine. You've
Speaker 8: also have a lot of concerns over semiconductors and tariffs
Speaker 8: and other punitive measures that the US and its allies
Speaker 8: have taken on a lot of Chinese projects. Just this
Speaker 8: week we had Canada US ally implements some new tariffs
Speaker 8: on Chinese evs. That's certainly on the agenda. And then
Speaker 8: you also have a lot of concerns around military actions
Speaker 8: within the South China Sea. That's something that likely the
Speaker 8: US is going to be bringing up here also any
Speaker 8: issues to robbing Taiwan, which of course China claims as
Speaker 8: its own territory even though it operates independently. So we're
Speaker 8: really just running the gamut.
Speaker 1: In Bloemerrige dal and diesis or Port, Sullivan is hoping
Speaker 1: to make clear to the Foreign Minister that he is
Speaker 1: not speaking for the next administration and speaking.
Speaker 2: Of whatever the next administration may be. Karen Vice President
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walls are getting
Speaker 2: back on the campaign trail today, kicking off a two
Speaker 2: day bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia. While there,
Speaker 2: Harris will give her first interview since becoming a candidate.
Speaker 2: She has agreed to appear on CNN tomorrow night. Republican
Speaker 2: running mate jd Vance was on the campaign trail in Michigan,
Speaker 2: and he criticized Harris's convention speech.
Speaker 5: I think our tone is ridiculous. In our speech, they
Speaker 5: are extremely serious consequences to voting for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's persuasive to most Americans, and warning
Speaker 2: them about voting for the wrong person is just I
Speaker 2: think it's ridicul The Republicans JD Vance and Donald Trump
Speaker 2: have been pressuring Harris to do more unscripted events. Tomorrow
Speaker 2: Night's interview with Harris and Tim Walls will air on
Speaker 2: CNN at nine pm tomorrow. Wall Street Time, and it's.
Speaker 1: Time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 1: stories making news in New York and around the world.
Speaker 1: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.
Speaker 4: Michael, Good Morning, Good morning, Karen. A horrifying story after
Speaker 4: a couple in their fifties was kidnapped and assaulted while

Speaker 4: it crashed, leading to the couple's rescue. All six suspects
Speaker 4: were caught. Sergeant Stephen Castravinci is with the Danberry Police.

Speaker 7: Is it led him to court?
Speaker 4: And what led to the verdict today? Kimberly Archie, who
Speaker 4: once worked as a legal consultant for Girardi's firm, spoke
Speaker 4: after the verdict.
Speaker 9: I actually believe at one point that Tom Girardi was
Speaker 9: a decent human being, that he was a hero. You

Speaker 11: that went out, but you know, couldn't come away with it.
Speaker 11: But I think we had a don't know if it

Speaker 4: world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg Business app.
Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The
Speaker 2: earnings that investors have been waiting for weeks are now
Speaker 2: hours away. In Vidia opens its second quarter books after
Speaker 2: today's closing bell with another high bar to clear to
Speaker 2: show the AI spending. Boom still has momentum, joining us
Speaker 2: ahead of Nvidia. This morning, Bloomberg TV and radio anchor
Speaker 2: Kritty Gupta Critty, good morning. It seems like investors have
Speaker 2: gotten used to blowout earnings quarter after quarter for Nvidia.
Speaker 2: So how high is the bar this time and what
Speaker 2: will the reaction be if Nvidia doesn't meet it.
Speaker 12: Well, it's a blessing and a curse to be a
Speaker 12: plus student. And I think that's the big issue here
Speaker 12: with Nvidia, because to your point, it has been a
Speaker 12: win after win, But this is I think the first
Speaker 12: time we're actually seeing more nerves than I've seen in
Speaker 12: the last couple of quarters around it. And let me
Speaker 12: just put this into some perspective here in terms of
Speaker 12: some of the numbers that they are expecting when it
Speaker 12: comes to estimates for the second quarter. The revenue estimate
Speaker 12: right now is about just I have twenty nine billion
Speaker 12: dollars for the second quarter, so that's the number that
Speaker 12: they have to beat. With the third quarter of kind
Speaker 12: of forward guidance being at about thirty just ty have
Speaker 12: thirty two billions. Those are the numbers that Nvidia has
Speaker 12: to beat from a revenue perspective. Anything short of that
Speaker 12: would signals some sort of slow down in the a
Speaker 12: underlying AI demand, not just from kind of the broad
Speaker 12: tech space, but a lot of it coming from the hyperscalers.
Speaker 12: So you're what they're calling kind of the big tech
Speaker 12: companies Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, the ones that have been trying
Speaker 12: to really invest in a really big way in AI
Speaker 12: while also getting their own in house operations up to
Speaker 12: par when it comes to AI. So it's kind of
Speaker 12: been a little bit of a liquidity transfer basic the
Speaker 12: richest companies in the States and arguably in the world
Speaker 12: spending in a really big way to Nvidia, to the
Speaker 12: point that makes Nvidia's bottom line over fifty percent of
Speaker 12: it coming from just a handful of those MAGS seven names.
Speaker 12: So that's kind of I think the bar or I
Speaker 12: think what's at stake here when it comes to these
Speaker 12: earnings today.
Speaker 2: So we do have a lot of companies doing a
Speaker 2: lot more in house development of these kinds of chips
Speaker 2: that in Nvidia up to this point has been the
Speaker 2: only game in town providing could we see more color
Speaker 2: from Nvidia on whether it's concerned at all about losing
Speaker 2: some market share.
Speaker 12: So this was one of the concerns going into after
Speaker 12: the last quarter, which was this idea of diversification. Because
Speaker 12: so much of their money, or so much of their
Speaker 12: customer base comes from really just a handful of big names,
Speaker 12: the questionnaire is how do they make it a bigger thing?
Speaker 12: For example, is AI something that just kind of the
Speaker 12: nerdiest of the nerdy can really use, or is this
Speaker 12: something that can see broader adoption in other sectors, in infrastructure,
Speaker 12: in renewables, in industrials, even in things like medical equipment.
Speaker 12: And that was the case that Jensen Wong was trying
Speaker 12: to make in the last quarter, was that this is
Speaker 12: just the beginning. This is just tech getting on board
Speaker 12: of AI. The applications go much farther when it comes
Speaker 12: to the near term picture. To answer your question, Nathan, specifically,
Speaker 12: for today, a lot of investors are going to be
Speaker 12: looking for the update on the Blackwell chip and The
Speaker 12: way to think about some of the chips that Nvidia
Speaker 12: puts out when it comes to gaming or data centers
Speaker 12: is I would compare it to the likes of kind
Speaker 12: of getting a new iPhone from Apple, and that they
Speaker 12: have this design cycle, this innovation cycle where they're releasing
Speaker 12: a new version every year, every two years that is
Speaker 12: cutting edge, etc. The problem is Blackwell, which is their
Speaker 12: latest product, is expected to have some delays. So one
Speaker 12: of the pieces of commentary that a lot of folks
Speaker 12: are going to be sensitive to what did the delays
Speaker 12: look like? Doesn't impact future product projects and does the
Speaker 12: signal kind of this capacity constraint or any sort of
Speaker 12: supply chain constraint when it comes to getting the AI
Speaker 12: delivered to some of their customers.
Speaker 2: Just thirty seconds left, we're going to be getting some
Speaker 2: more commentary from Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong on a Bloomberg
Speaker 2: Technology special this evening. If you were at Ludlow this evening,
Speaker 2: what would you be asking Jensen Wong.
Speaker 12: Well, knowing ed Ludlow, I bet his verse be on montization,
Speaker 12: what that pricing looks like, because that's going to be
Speaker 12: the game changer here. They've developed the technology they've marketed
Speaker 12: the technology. How much money can you make on the technology?
Speaker 12: I bet that would be a top of live bread.
