1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Doug Krisner, and we begin with earnings reported after the bell.

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Alphabet's fourth quarter revenue was above expectations. However, the company

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: also said it plans to spend far more than investors

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: had anticipated this year. Capex is set to double in

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Here is Bloomberg's Caroline Hyde.

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: They are dialing this up because they must feel I

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: must be taken that they've felt from the market. You've

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: got some bandwidth to do this right now, because what

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: we've had time and time again think of Microsoft's numbers

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: is that their issue isn't one of demand.

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: As one of sup Pots, shares an Alphabet were down

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: by something greater than one percent in late US trading.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: Qualcomm gave a lackluster forecast for revenue in the current period,

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: and the outlook only added to concern over component shortages

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: and how that may drive up prices and in turn

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: hurt consumer demand. Qualcomm is the largest maker of smartphone processors.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Here's Jay Goldberg from Seaport Research Partners.

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: So I think there's a near term problem and a

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: longer term problem. The near term issue is memory. Memory

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: prices are expensive. That cuts into everybody's margins. That's going

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: to eventually cut into consumer demand. Phones will be more

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: expensive because of the memory. It's a well known story.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: So I think that's a near term headwind. Longer term,

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: I think Qualcom has some pretty significant challenges and I'm

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: not sure they're ready to address them yet.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: That's Jay Goldberg from Seaport Research Partners. Shares and Qualcom

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: were down by more than nine percent in late US trading.

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: The sales forecast from the British chip designer ARM Holdings

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: was disappointing, and right now US listed shares in ARM

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: down more than six percent in late US trading. In

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: the equity market today, the appetite for risk was diminished

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: and the rotation out of tech shares gathered momentum. Software

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: firms were caught up in another wave of selling, but

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: chip makers saw bigger losses. We had the Philadelphia Semiconductor

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Index down four point three percent today now the Nasdaq

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: one hundred drop nearly one point eight percent and breached

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: its one hundred day moving air That is a level

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: seen by some analysts as a harbinger for more losses.

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Here is Sarah Hunt, Chief Market strategist at Alpine Woods.

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: The market was coming into all of this on fairly

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: high levels and had a lot of expectations. And even

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: if you're meeting some of those, it's not good enough

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: in an environment where people are starting to get scared

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: again about what is going to get disrupted by AI.

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: And you can hear more from Sarah Hunt on the

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business Week Daily podcast. The US and Iran are

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: set to meet in Oman on Friday to discuss a

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: nuclear deal. Even so, President Trump sent a warning to

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Iran's leaders as US military forces entered the region. Here

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: is Trump speaking exclusively to NBC News.

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 5: I would say he should be very worried. Yeah, he

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 5: should be, as you know, they're negotiating with US.

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: I know they are.

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: But the protesters have said, you know, where are the Americans.

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: You promised them we would have their back. Do we

57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: still have we back?

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 5: We've had their back, and look, that country's a mess

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: right now because of US.

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 6: We went in.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: We wiped out their nuclear So let's wish again, want

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 5: peace in the Middle East. If I didn't take out

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 5: their nuclear think of it, if we didn't take out

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: that nuclear we wouldn't have peace in the Middle East

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: because the Arab countries could have never done that. They

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 5: were very, very afraid of Ara. They're not afraid of

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 5: Iran anymore.

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,800

69
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,360

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: Iranian leadership wants to limit discussions to its nuclear program.

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security will immediately reduce its enforcement

72
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: presence in Minneapolis by seven hundred agents. White House borders

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: are Tom Homan says the government will rely more on

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: taking custody inside jails rather than making arrest in the community.

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: More officers taking custody of criminal amilage directly from the

76
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 6: jails means less offers on the street during criminal operations.

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 6: This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement. It's

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 6: safer for the community, safer for the officers, and safer

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: for the alien.

00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,880
