1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg surveillance. See, we can't afford to buy 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: a home. They're opting to rent. And people actually like 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: the single family product and are going to rent it 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: as opposed to buy it. The manufacturing sector is doing 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: a little better right now than it had been for 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: most of last year, and that's something that has been 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: signaled by a few of these regional indiceses. We have 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: significance sustained upside surprises in the US. It's going to 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: be more difficult for the FED to remain dubbish.

The stock six hundred down 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: by right now three tenths of a percent one point. 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: The docks is off by fifty four half a percent. 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Brief rise when President Obama was speaking in Hanover, Germany today, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: but it did not hold.

It is also 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Central bank week. The FED meets Wednesday, the Bank of 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: Japan on Thursday. Ahead of those meetings, the euro right 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: now four, the yen one O nine, the dollar index 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: still LOWOT eight five seven, the ran on the screen 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: and interesting contrast to results we have seen from some 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest industrial companies, which one would think would 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: be hurt by slower growth and currency fluctuations. But ge 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: honeywell they bettered expectations last week. Their outlooks don't seem 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: to match the gloom. Nick Camon covers Industrials for William Blair. 51 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: Uh Nick, did they do something right? Is the zeitgeist wrong? Well, 52 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think both companies managed to 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: kind of check one keybox off, which is a better 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: than expected and the earnings versus skin census. But after 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: that they were, you know, actually pretty similar in the 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: sense that the optics weren't quite uh quite as sharp 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: as as as might be hoped. They both had large 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: acquisitions which they had to integrate, and in Honeywell's case 59 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: as well as GES, that brought certainly some margins down. 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: And you know, at the same time, um, you know, 61 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: both companies are working to drive through this headwall with 62 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: regards to foreign extenc currency exchange, and for Honeywell they 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: hedged it so ironically today they did not get penalized, 64 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: but at g hearnings were penalized two cents. But going forward, 65 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: if the dollar weekends because of the hedge on earnings, 66 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Honeywell actually might find some more optical challenge as if 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: in fact they're sales in flight, which would put more 68 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: pressure on their reported margins. Well, how did they respond 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: to what's going on the banking sector just cut it 70 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: was all about expenses. Are they finding any way to 71 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: grow sales in the industrials? Yeah, I mean that's a 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: big challenge, you know, and quite honestly, um, the key 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: is pretty tepid and market grant and demand growth in 74 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: their key and markets for both companies. So what they're 75 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: trying to do is find different either acquisitions or in 76 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: the case of GE, try to find a base infrastructure 77 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: where the demand is endless. It's been basically held up 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: by getting adequate financing both together and so he's working 79 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: with third parties to arrange that for project finance. So 80 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: that's really the kind of the key for the for 81 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: this big headwall for pretty weak revenues. Nick, you mentioned 82 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: their acquisitions. If you look at Honeywell, sure they beat 83 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: on earnings, but actually they reported lower margins. This is 84 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: because of the costs linked to acquisitions. When can they 85 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: get margins back up? Good question, and I would say 86 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: that we would certainly expect to see diminished UH purchase 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: accounting and you know, a deal closing costs as the 88 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: year progresses, but you'll still have amorization of good will 89 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: on what was eleven billion dollars or eight acquisitions at 90 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Honeywell has completed since early last year. So that's quite 91 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: a good slug for them, and that'll keep you know, 92 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: some some cap on on margin, which historically has been 93 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: the big driver. You know, um in the face of 94 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: slowing organic sales growth for Honeywell, and Nick, are they 95 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: still going to acquire more? It's fascinating. Mike and I 96 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on the program talking about 97 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: the fact that CEOs are not that confident about the future. 98 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: So most CEOs, be it in London where I am, 99 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: or New York or everywhere else in the States, they're 100 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: just not brave enough to acquire. Honeywell is yeah. I 101 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: mean Honeywell have made the now you know, drop to 102 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: overture to acquire uh, you know, technologies, and our guests 103 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: from listening to speaking with the management last farriety is 104 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: that they're going to be focused more on buyback um 105 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: rather than big acquisitions. They got a lot on their 106 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: plate to integrate. They came through and beat two of 107 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: the sense of the beach on Friday's numbers were due 108 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: to hey, one point one billion or purchase of stock 109 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: that was not expected in the first quarter, and so 110 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: my sense is that's where the bias will be near 111 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: term because we've got a lot to digest and integrate. 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Led by Elster. Nick Hayman is with us from William Blair. 113 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance.

Slash high conviction. Nicolas stayed with Honeywell, 118 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: they have a new president and see oh, suggesting that 119 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: Darius Adam Check is going to be in line to 120 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: succeed Dave Cody as CEO. But as we have seen 121 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: here in the United States, particularly with Disney in the 122 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: last week or so, being next in line is not 123 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: always a good thing. Yeah, it was really interesting with 124 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Dave Cody, this current CEO and chairman, was asked to 125 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: know what what was the significance of the creation of 126 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: a new job of president CEO to which Darris was appointed, 127 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: and he said, Darris is a great guy. Didn't want 128 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: to go anywhere, And that was a unique response. I mean, 129 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Dave's gonna turn sixty four next July, and he'll be UM, 130 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, sixty five in July two thousand and seventeen, 131 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: so it's expected that he'll probably step down sometime in 132 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: early two thousand eighteen. Is he the kind of person 133 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: that we expect to step down? Well, that's always a 134 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: good question. But I think UM tends to be certainly, 135 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: uh pretty a pretty strong UM, you know, earning point 136 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: for tenure for for most management at these larger public companies. 137 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: As much as daf Cody has done extremendous job really 138 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: turning around Honeywell. I think that you know, the board 139 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: will will certainly continue to focus on the succession plan 140 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: at sixty Nick, are you confident that both g and 141 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: Honeywell will continue doing better earnings wise? This is almost 142 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: a barometer of the strength of the US economy. But 143 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: then you look at cher Yellen and what she thinks 144 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: about the head wings facing the us Econmune, it doesn't 145 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: look so good. Yeah, I mean, right now, it's it's 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: become a much greater challenge for our companies to be 147 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: able to generate um, you know, continued earnings growth with 148 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: sales or you know demand for and market demand in 149 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: most of the industrial and markets around the world being 150 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: pretty pretty weak. Um, they've had the resort to acquisitions, uh, 151 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: to returning you know, a lot more cash to shareholders 152 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: five by back, but those are getting challenging, you know, 153 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: goals to still achieve as well, and so for most 154 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: of our companies. UM, they've also got a little bit 155 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: creative quite honestly, with regards to their accounting. And we 156 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: now have a twenty five percent divergence across our universe 157 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: of diversified companies between gap earnings and adjusted uh EPs, 158 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: and that's grown from just six percent and two thousand 159 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: and thirteen. All right, let's come back with Nick Camman. 160 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: He's the co Group head of Global Industrial Infrastructure, asking, well, 161 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: I gotta talk a little bit more about ge when 162 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: we come back from But he also covers a lot 163 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: of the big European industrials, and I'm sure we're interested 164 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: in finding out there's a difference in outlook at this point. Yeah, 165 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: they're not doing too great. Of course, it's the Germans 166 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: that are exporting the most, and then we had that 167 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: drop in business confidence in Germany.

Mike and Francine Cara Moska, thank you very much. 235 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: We're talking with Think Hayman from William Blair. He covers 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: the industrials and one of the big companies that everybody 237 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: follows a sort of signed post. I don't know if 238 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: it's a benchmark guide posts to how the economy is doing. 239 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: General Electric U late of Fairfield County, Connecticut heading to Boston. UH, 240 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: Nick GE better than forecast margins if you include the French, 241 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: if you include Allstum, falling d forty basis points this 242 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: last quarter. UH. Is this a short term problem because 243 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: of the acquisition or is there a problem in the 244 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: in sort of the the organic area that Jeff m 245 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: L's is trying to create there. No, that's really just 246 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: the fact that alstom Um, you know, have significantly lower 247 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: profitability UH than GE. And we would expect it will 248 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: take until probably the fourth quarter of this year before 249 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: you'll see the combined um margins from alstom NG be 250 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: able to be higher than your earlier levels. How much 251 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: is GE going to be then dependent on overseas revenue 252 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: at a time when everybody is talking about lower growth 253 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: overseas well, you know that's probably some place in the 254 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: neighborhood about fifty five or six percent. But one thing 255 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: you want to keep a mind is that one of 256 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: the goals of the acquisition of all Sto Energy is 257 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: to really shift gees center gravity to becoming a predominant 258 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: base infrastructure supplier. And the last front here for growth 259 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: in the world economy right now is non developed countries. 260 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: But for finished industrial good products, that's really hard. There's 261 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: no aftermarket, there's no service support distribution. But for base infrastructure, 262 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: all you really need is to put together um some 263 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: funds from sovereign wealth and from insurers into project finance, 264 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: and that suddenly opens the door. And for Siemens and 265 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: for GE this is really starting to click. The problem, Nick, 266 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: is that when you look at emerging markets, and you 267 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: were also mentioning some of the sovereign wealth funds is 268 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of them are dependent on oil, and oil 269 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: has gone down so they're suffering quite a lot. What 270 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: does it mean for infrastructure in these emerging markets. It 271 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: comes at a time we're sure johnet Yellen has given 272 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: them a lifeline at the same time we worry about 273 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: bad debt in emerging markets. Yeah, it's UM. The project 274 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: finance is a bit different than just issuing death. UM. 275 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: It's mezzanine death structure with some equity as well. That's 276 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: overseen by the I FI S and UM. What we're 277 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: trying to do is bring the third of the world's 278 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: population that doesn't have access to base electricity, fresh water, 279 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: available energy, transportation, healthcare. Those types of products there are 280 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: really really critical UH for much of Indonesia, parts of Indian, China, UH, 281 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: certainly most of Africa and UM that's really where the 282 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: growth is going to be. And gees put together a 283 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: package of different types of solutions to countries needs that 284 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: are both cost effective that can help in turn generate 285 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: more cash UH, such as energy because many of these 286 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: companies countries will actually UM be sources for fossil fuel 287 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: offshore UH in the future after the under decade. I 288 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: know you also look at some of the European industrial 289 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: so you kind of BB you look at Siemens, Is 290 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: there any value in these Siemens is probably one of 291 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: the strongest European companies. It's a big German exporter, and 292 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: yet they've been hit. Yeah. I mean, Siemens is doing 293 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: a good job as well, trying to get back to 294 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: or two new highs um you know, in terms of 295 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: their profitability. And I think that they certainly have had 296 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: some benefit from currency in recent quarters which will diminish. 297 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: But at the same time they've been restructuring their cost space. UH. 298 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: They've got a good outlook for their wind and renewables business. UH. 299 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: They like ge has received large orders from Egypt for power. 300 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: And I think that Siemens is UH is certainly really 301 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: more than able to overcome any handicap from the dollars 302 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: weakness that would impact their results adversely on a currency 303 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: translation basis. But the underlying business that Joe was building 304 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: there again based on core based infrastructure for non developed 305 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: countries is UH is coming along and getting stronger every quarter. 306 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about one stock that you cover, 307 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: because it's just so notably, you have an outperformed on 308 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: Bombardier that's from February, and this is a stock that's 309 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: just been killed. Uh is it going ahead turned around? 310 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: And if so, when does it match your outperform rating? Well, 311 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: the stocks almost doubled. Okay since febrywhere and the stock 312 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: right now? This has been a call about whether they're 313 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: plane the C series would in fact be a viable 314 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: contender versus air Buses Neo and through tween NEO and 315 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: the hut Boeing seven three seven Max. And in fact 316 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: we're on the cuff now of having the aircraft I 317 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: guess a cult legitimized UH with a large order from 318 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Delta which should be finalized and announced here in the 319 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. And behind that is uh several 320 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: other orders again from major North American and European carriers. 321 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: So I would say at this point, uh, yeah, it's 322 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: it's probably a situation where it's taken much longer than 323 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: we might have thought to be able to get this 324 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: aircraft to market and more importantly, to have it break 325 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,239 Speaker 1: the the the the strangle hold that was held by 326 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: UH both the air Bus and Boeing. But now Bowing 327 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: is even talking about developing a new new product to 328 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,239 Speaker 1: compete with it.
