• 0:23
  Speaker 2: One of my companies I used to cover the Walt
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Disney Company Mickey Mouse. They reported some numbers, better than
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: expected numbers, so of course stocks down two point nine percent.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So the Walt Disney Company reported better than expected third
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: quarter earnings, with continued growth at its parks and streaming
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: business overshadowing a tough climate for movies and traditional TV.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Let's break it down with Keitha Rungino that she covers
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: all the media stuff for Bloomberg Intelligence. Keitha, it seemed
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to me like on the service, a pretty good quarter
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: for Disney. What's the street a little concerned about?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really good quarter for Disney. Paul the beaten raise,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: for sure, I think Elevator, you know, expectations might have been,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you know, slightly high, and the fact that they didn't
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: necessarily give us any specific guidance for fiscal twenty twenty six.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: They did point to a raised guidance for EPs growth
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: for fiscal twenty twenty five eighteen percent now instead of
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: sixteen percent, But they didn't necessarily give us anything specific
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: for fiscal twenty twenty six. That could be a slight
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: source of disappointment. Other than that, the only other thing
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: that I think might be causing this reaction is that
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: they did say that they will stop disclosing Disney Plus
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: subscriber numbers. But again, this is not something totally unexpected.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, Netflix has stopped doing this. We're seeing this
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: kind of move away from just subscriber numbers to a
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: greater focus and profitability.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I want to zero in on parks because I'm still
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: scarred by how expensive it was when I visited a
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: couple of years ago as an adult. But how sustainable
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: is their strong parks performance given the divergent domestic and
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: international performance.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Very sustainable, Isabell. So you know, we saw Domesta stick parks,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and I say that because you know domestic parks actually
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: coming into this year, Coming into this quarter, there were
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of worries, one of course, about the general
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: macroeconomic environment, but the bigger source of worry was really
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the opening of Epic Universe, which is you know, Universal's
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: big Florida theme parke at traction. But the fact that
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: it had absolutely no impact at all, or very very
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: modest impact, if at all, is really amazing, and it
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: just kind of speaks to the resilience in Disney's business model.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: They reported again very very strong per capita growth, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in terms of food and beverages, in terms of concessions,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: so all of that doing really well. And the reason
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I'm so positive about this business going forward. First of all,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it contributes about fifty five to sixty percent of Disney profits.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Are really really important to their top line, to their
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: bottom line. Definitely, they have a lot of upcoming capacity,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So the biggest source of expansion over the next few
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: months is really going to be their cruise ships. They're
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: launching two new cruise ships, their biggest ever actually, which
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: is going to come on board in November, and this
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: one of them sets sail from Asia and that basically
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: takes the number of cruise ships to eight cruise ships,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: effectively kind of doubling their capacity in a span of
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: just maybe two to three years. So that is going
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to really buoy you know, both top line and bottom
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: line going into twenty twenty six, and then beyond that,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you really have this huge sixty billion capital expansion plan
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: that is really going to play out over the next
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: five to ten years. So we're going to see a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: lot more attractions all over the world. We're going to
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: see that new Abu Dhabi park come out, So there
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: is really a lot of you know, a sustained momentum
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that we can expect at the park's going forward.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Kitha talked to us about that deal they just made
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: with the NFL. It seems like a really positive development.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: For the company.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really good. I think from a Disney from
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: an ESPN standpoint, that they're so closely aligned now with
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the NFL. I mean, the NFL is absolutely the premium property,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the gold standard, Paul. You know this well when it
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: comes to you know, sports properties in the US. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the fact now that they're going to be able to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: use all of this content for their upcoming esp and
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: streaming launch, I mean that itself just kind of gives
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it a tremendous boost, I think even before you know
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: it comes on board. So it's great for the product.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It's also great from a strategic standpoint because the NFL
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: is obviously one of the most important sports properties, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: this really gives them access or it at least definitely
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: gives them a little bit of an advantageous position compared
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: to let's say, an Amazon or a Netflix or an
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Apple if they want to ever outbid you know, the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: current media partners. So definitely, I think a strategically, very
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: very sound move on the part of Disney.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So it seems like we had a good quarter. Runway
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: for growth is really just long and wide. What downside
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: risks remain then, especially around the macro uncertainty and Tiriff exposure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Do you see, Yeah, maybe a little bit of execution risks.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: So we still really don't know how this whole. I mean,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: obviously everybody is very excited for the ESPN product launch,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: but we still don't know how exactly that's going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: play out. Again, a huge source of upside it is
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: going to be the streaming business. Everybody's expecting huge cost
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: savings when it comes to the integration of Hulu and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Disney Plus. But again, execution is a little bit of
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a risk. And then you pointed out you know macro factors.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Remember Disney still obviously has huge exposure because of its
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: parks business, and anytime we see kind of a slowdown
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: in the economy, we do feel that in the parks
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: as well. And of course advertising also, so you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: they do have a substantial exposure to advertising because of
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: their TV networks business. So there again we can see
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit of an impact. But overall, as it
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: stands right now, the business seems to be in really
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: good shape all right here.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: The problem childs though, are the broadcast networks and the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: cable networks. What you know, just because of cort cutting
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that they're just declining businesses. What's the company saying about
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: what they're going to do with those businesses.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: They haven't said anything explicitly, Paul. So a few years ago,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: you know, this idea was floated that maybe they kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: of spin off ABC, their broadcast network, maybe they spin
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: off their linear cable channels, all of that. You know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: noise is kind of quietened down, you know, bar Biger
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: basically said, no, no, no, we need these businesses. They're
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: all kind of integral to the whole Disney story. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: we haven't heard anything recently that being said. Just this
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: whole deal with the NFL, the NFL kind of taking
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: an equity stake. It almost seems like they are prepping
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: for ESPN to kind of ESPN and maybe ABC to
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: kind of coast solo. Remember, Bob Biger only has a
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: few more months left, so the end of twenty twenty
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: six he leaves Disney, or at least that's what he says. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: we think, and I really think he kind of wants
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to get this deal done so to separate ESPN because
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: it's not really core to the rest of the Disney properties.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But again it's a little bit of a wait and watch,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: but nothing explicitly, you know, stated from Disney management about
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: what they want to do with the linear piece of
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the business.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So ESPN is getting a fresh spin with an August
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: twenty one launch. It will be thirty dollars a month
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for the new streaming app. What do you make of
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: that price? You think people will pay up for it
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: or is that steep?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: It's a high price point, there's no doubt about it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I think most people were kind of expecting somewhere in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the twenty three to twenty five dollars range. That said,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: what we just ran a survey actually at Bloomberg Intelligence,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and what we found is that there's actually a lot
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: of interest in this product, so we think that the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: updake will be fairly strong, and the Updake not so
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: much as a standalone product, but when you bundle it
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: with Disney Plus and Hulu, so they are running a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: pretty attractive promotion. So for the first year, you can
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: get Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN at a thirty to
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: thirty dollars price point, which which seems like really good value.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So I think we're going to see a lot of
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: people come in initially through the bundles at least.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: All right, great stuff as always, Keith I, thank you
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: so much for chatting with this.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Keitha ranganof and she's the media Analyst.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The media anamals the Bloomberg Intelligence covering all those fun
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: companies in the media space.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence podcast. Catch us live

  Speaker 1: Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. Listen on demand wherever
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, or watch us live on YouTube.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: It's about Lee Paul Sweeney.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We're live here in our Bloomberg Getter Active Broker Studio,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: streaming live on YouTube and Ween've been reporting all morning
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: on the McDonald's print. Here, I look at something called
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: which the analysts look at, something called like same store sales,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: sales sales at stores you have owned for you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: like like like a year or so. That takes out
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the fluctuations of buying and selling and opening and closing stores.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: So global sales at restaurants open at.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Least thirteen months rose three point eight percent in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: second quarter, according to the company. And that's kind of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: one of the headlines there. Michael Halen, he looks at
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that stuff. He's a senior restaurant analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Michael talk to us about McDonald's. It seems like if
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: whenever I see this company give me some positive same
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: store sales, it feels like it feels like a win.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely a win for you know, overall industry
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: same store sales. Because it's such a monster. It also
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: could be bad news for some of their competitors. With
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: fourteen thousand stores in the United States. Listen, man, they
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: know how to run run good restaurants right right now
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: in the US, they're starting to lap some easier comparisons,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: and you know that's showing up in the you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: that's helping their results. They're also you know, doing a
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: good job with you know the menu, right, they're bringing
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: back snack wraps, they're bringing back the mccrispy strip. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: just they debuted a daily double. They've been pressing on
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: value all year. That was a big thing since the
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: first quarter. And so you know, McDonald's has the scale
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: that they can you know, offer products a little bit
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: cheaper than their peers and still enfranchisees can still make
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: a little bit of money off of it. Right, So
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: you know, they they seem to really be hitting their
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: stride and they're lapping easy comps in the second half
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: of the year. So you know, we're looking at a
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: pretty good second half of McDonald's.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: And international markets led to companies growth. What regions of
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: the world did they really push aggressively towards.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they mentioned some really good strength in Germany. They
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: talked about some improvement in some markets that had been struggling,
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: like France and Australia, and so, you know, what they're
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: doing overseas is similar to the US playbook, right, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: they're probably ahead of the game, ahead of the US
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: in terms of providing everyday value their value messaging has
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: been on point, and it's really helped them grow internationally,
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: and that's why we've seen international grow faster than the US.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: For the last year or so.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: They also cited the fact that there's less competition overseas,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: so they're really, you know, a pricing leader overseas. You know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: they can the same type of thing in the US
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: where they can offer price points that competitors just can't match.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: And then they're also improving the operations, improving the quality
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: of the product, which has been an ongoing theme here,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: proving the quality of the beef, better burgers, the way
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: they cook the burgers, their debuting the Big Arch, which
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: is a big, bigger sized burger in their lineup. They're
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: also expanding chicken overseas. So this company's humming along right now.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: What does the company say, Like when I think about McDonald's,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks probably feel like the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: low end, low income consumers, probably it's bread and butter there,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and maybe that consumer is more at risk in this
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: economic environment. What's the company saying about some of those
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: low end, low income patrons.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I like about this call all
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: is that you know, they're talking about what they can control.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: You know, they cited the fact that low income consumer
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: traffic is down double digits, right, versus a small gain
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: for middle income consumers and steady consistent gains with high
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: income consumers.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: So they are.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Seeing, you know, weakness with low income consumers like everyone else.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: That's why they push so hard on value. That's why
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: they have these you know, five dollars meals and buy one,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: get one for a dollar, and why they put marketing
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: dollars behind that. That's part of the you know, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: beauty of the snack wraps. They're coming back at a
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: two ninety nine price point. We think that's going to
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: bring some low income consumers back into the fold, right,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: So they understand that that people are very priced sensitive
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: right now, and you know, they're addressing it with the
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: price points. But they're also trying to give people better
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: quality and better service. At the same time.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: They also plan to taste new beverages and this includes
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: cold coffees and crafted sodas at more than five hundred
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: US locations. How much of a pull are beverages when
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: it comes to McDonald's offerings or is food really still king?
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Food? Is still king?
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: But listen, beverages are hot. Beverages are hot everywhere, right,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: dirty slages, energy and very high margin, right. And so
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: we think this is a very good opportunity for McDonald's.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I think this is kind of a problem for Sonic,
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: which has long done a really good job with their
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: drink offering. But yeah, we think this is something that
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: can help drive sales at McDonald's.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Taco Bell.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: This is something Taco Bell's expanding as well. But we
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: think this is going to be more of a twenty
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: twenty six story for McDonald's.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: For McDonald's, Mike, what percentage of the revenue comes from
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: owned and operated stores versus franchise stores?
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, they're ninety eight percent franchised. So there. Yeah, they're
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: heavily franchised. And you know, it's a beautiful model, man.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: There's not a lot of operating leverage in the model.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: They generate a ton of cash that they return to shareholders.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: It really is a bu what's thing?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: So what's the royalty rate on?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: There's a franchise e paid McDonald's based upon revenue, based
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: upon net income, based upon how many Big Max say sale.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: How does that work? Yeah?
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, McDonald's is a little bit unique. They have
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: a five ish percent royalty rate, plus they own a
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: lot of the real estate, So a lot of franchises
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: in the United States are paying a rent, which is
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: typically you know, a ten inch percent of sales, we'll say,
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: and then they'll pay another three and a half to
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: four percent into the ad fun.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that until I saw the movie and
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: then that famous scene. Yeah, you're not in the hamburger.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Business, you're in the real estate business. And that was
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: such a great scene. I learned a lot there.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: All Right, I can't let you go without crackerbrol and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I need my daily update, Country Boy Breakfast.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: How's that company doing?
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Listen, We're we're big fans of new CEO Julie Messino.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: That stock's been a bit of a rollercoaster, not a
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: surprise since it's a small cap. It rows more than
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: one hundred percent off its April lows. Now it's in
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: the midst of a pretty aggressive downturn. It's probably lost
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: about a twenty five percent of its value in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: last couple weeks.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: But you know, we like it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: We like Julie's plans to improve the operations, to spend
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: more and more efficient with their marketing spend. We think
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: this is a chain that had been you know, not
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: had been hadn't been taken care of, it hadn't been
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: run really well for the last decade, and so we
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: see a lot of low hanging fruit for the current
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: management team to turn things around and really drive strong
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: seam source sales through year end twenty twenty five and
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: well into twenty twenty six.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: All right, Mike, thanks so much for joining us.

• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Well here's another tech company that I totally missed. Had
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: no idea it even existed until it had already skyrocket.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: It's super micro Computer. I don't know. They make some
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: hardware stuff for chips on. You know, it's a tech thing.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Got the AI bug, it ripped.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It's reported the company reported some numbers stocks down twenty
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: one percent, and I wonder if this is a time
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: for all the people that missed it to maybe take
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a look. Here, I'll tell you who did not miss
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it was Woojino Senior Technology, aannels for Bloomberg Intelligence. Wooge
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: just for our audience, just really quickly tell everybody what
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: super micro computer is and what happened with their quarter.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Sure, hey, thanks, Paul. Super Micro is a leading AI
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: server manufacturer. They've been one of the beneficiaries from.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: This AI boom.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Companies like x ai Core we've used or purchased AI
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: servers from them. And what has happened from the AI
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: boom is that they've seen the revenues go from three
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: billion three to four years back and they're on track
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: for about thirty three billion in fiscal twenty six. So
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: in terms of the quarter there, it's a sloppy explanation
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: in terms of they missed the guidance for the results
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: and their outlook came in a little bit light. Even
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: though the thirty three billion dollars sales guidance for physical
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: twenty six was ahead of consensus by by about ten percent.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: One of the things is is that they had a
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: forty billion dollar view back in February that they pulled
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: off the table last quarter because of the trade wars,
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: and that thirty three billion dollars fell short of that
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: forty billion dollar view back in February, so, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: missed heightened expectations heading into the print.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: What about the lowered revenue outlook? Does that really signal
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: a deeper execution challenge and just really optimism when pessimism
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: when it comes to meeting AI server demand or is
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: it really more margin compression driven by price pressures?
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, that's that's a good question. Like in
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: terms of the thirty three billion dollars, if we think
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: of it one way, right, fifty percent revenue growth on
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: really tough comps is still fairly impressive, right, and they
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: still have to close a lot of big deals. The
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: issue is is that they they raise a bi bar
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: so high that you know, meeting that would have been very,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: very impressive. And that's what I think growth the stock
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: run up. Now. The margin compression question is very interesting.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: I will tell you Consentus has them add about seven
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: percent margins for fiscal twenty For fiscal twenty six. Heading
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: into the print, they're guiding too about five to six
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: percent margins. I don't know if they'll get to seven
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: percent for the year. I mean, they'll lead to scale
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: up more. But the competition, the creditive landscape is pretty
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: pretty fierce right now, and I have a tough time
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: getting to seven percent. And you know, EPs on lower
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: revenues and lower margins doesn't get me above three dollars
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: per share.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So Wiich talk to you mentioned competition here, who does
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: s SMCI Who do they really compete against here?
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Dell? Right, that's a yeah, Dell has really been breathing
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: down super Micro's neck. If you think about the big
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: deals that Tesla and Xai and Core we've you know
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: that super Micro has been in. Dell has actually won
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: their fair share. Look, they're going to report in a
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: couple of quarters from now. They booked about fourteen billion
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: dollars in orders last quarter, seven billion of it that
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: should be closed in this upcoming quarter. So they're winning
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: monster deals at low margins. And then they're going to
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: continue to be competitive in these deals.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: And given it to reliance on Nvidia chips, how exposed
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: to supermcro to bottlenecks or maybe just you know, prioritization
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: towards d video when it comes to their own chips.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean well, super Micro doesn't make their own chips.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: They are going to be reliant on end video chips.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: There is a pecking order in terms of who get
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: those GPUs. The hyper scale guys are going to be
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: the first ones to get those gp use and for
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: large parts, super Micro and Deell do not have that
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: exposure to the hyperscale customers. So the second order of
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: magnitude are going to be the tier two neo clouds
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: like Xai, Open Ai and the core weaves of the world.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: And you know, it's all about execution in those sales.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: I don't think I don't think it's going to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: an allocation issue. But if you win those deals, Jensen
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: will have the GPU ready for you. So let's see.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: And it all comes down to a pricing war at
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: the end of the day, which affects gross margins.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Weich, thanks so much for joining us. Always
