- 4:42Speaker 1: Bloomberg business flash. This is taking stock with Pim's box,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and Kathleen has on Bloomberg Radio bowing growing more optimistic
- 4:54Speaker 1: about airplane orders, increasing its long term forecasts on the
- 4:57Speaker 1: expectation that demand for air travel the expanding around the globe,
- 5:02Speaker 1: led by China and though developing countries. Here to discuss
- 5:05Speaker 1: this is Howard your Bell, senior equity research channelists for
- 5:08Speaker 1: Aerospace and Defense Electronics at Jeffreys here in New York City.
- 5:13Speaker 1: How Ared, Welcome to the show. Well, it is interesting
- 5:17Speaker 1: that you know that I think that the the figure
- 5:20Speaker 1: of course that Boeing is looking at five point nine
- 5:22Speaker 1: trillion dollars over twenty years. That's a lot of money
- 5:25Speaker 1: and a lot of airplane orders, but the fact that
- 5:27Speaker 1: China and developing countries are going to be leading it
- 5:30Speaker 1: not totally. If that's been really continuation of a trend.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I think we've all forgotten there's a large and growing
- 5:36Speaker 1: middle class in China. Howard, I wonder if you could
- 5:39Speaker 1: speak a little bit more broadly about the Farnborough Air Show,
- 5:43Speaker 1: which actually closed early today because of a torrential downpour.
- 5:48Speaker 1: What's at stake there, I mean, taking place in Britain,
- 5:50Speaker 1: And what if you give us your thoughts about Brexit
- 5:53Speaker 1: the UK industry and orders for these international companies. That's
- 5:57Speaker 1: a mouthful. Yeah, well, that's why I give it to
- 5:59Speaker 1: you at a time. Oh I will well, I'm dodging
- 6:05Speaker 1: that bullet. But um, first, I'd say that Brexit is
- 6:07Speaker 1: an unfortunate event. But um, and it creates a little
- 6:11Speaker 1: bit of friction for air travel. Um. But but I'm
- 6:15Speaker 1: not sure it's going to be you know, a big
- 6:18Speaker 1: calamity over the long haul. I mean, if we look
- 6:21Speaker 1: at UK air travel, it's about two and a half
- 6:23Speaker 1: percent of global traffic. And if if you assume, um,
- 6:27Speaker 1: it takes maybe ten out at worst, it's just a
- 6:31Speaker 1: couple of percentage points of loss. Second, what happens is
- 6:35Speaker 1: it does make it cheaper to manufacture in the UK,
- 6:38Speaker 1: and over time, whether it's UM, Boeing or Airbus or whomever, UM,
- 6:44Speaker 1: Britain will become a bit more of an export economy
- 6:46Speaker 1: than than it's possibly been. And maybe the last point
- 6:49Speaker 1: I make in terms of Brexit, that's unfortunate, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 1: in terms of friction, um, it just now means um,
- 6:55Speaker 1: the Brits will have to be in the same line
- 6:57Speaker 1: going to the EU as the Americans. Well, a little
- 7:01Speaker 1: more competition maybe. But it's interesting that what the came
- 7:06Speaker 1: out of the air show this year is the industry
- 7:09Speaker 1: broadly expecting fewer aircraft orders. Were Boeing's talking up the
- 7:13Speaker 1: least the longer term view? Is that consistent? Yes, I
- 7:18Speaker 1: think so. I mean we we have down orders this year.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I mean when you have a seven year backlog in
- 7:24Speaker 1: some categories, it's hard to um, you know, wait, I
- 7:28Speaker 1: mean airlines want to be patients, they want to target deliveries,
- 7:32Speaker 1: they want to see exactly what their fleet fleets are
- 7:36Speaker 1: and and it's really a smart idea not to necessarily
- 7:40Speaker 1: buy a twenty or twenty five year asset based on
- 7:43Speaker 1: one year's worth of business. Howard, what is your thought
- 7:46Speaker 1: on investing in Boeing at the present time. I think
- 7:48Speaker 1: the stock is down about five five and a half
- 7:50Speaker 1: percent so far this year. Yes, um it was, it is,
- 7:54Speaker 1: but um it's actually it was actually up in the
- 7:57Speaker 1: last quarter despite all the volatility and the market just shade.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I we like it longer term when we have as
- 8:04Speaker 1: a buy. I think the you know, they've had a
- 8:07Speaker 1: couple of events this year that have been unfortunate. The
- 8:09Speaker 1: biggest has probably been um, you know, miss missing um
- 8:14Speaker 1: costs on the case for tanker, but I think they
- 8:17Speaker 1: have those risks understood. There's a substantial free cash flow
- 8:23Speaker 1: going forward. Um as the company continues to go down
- 8:26Speaker 1: on the improve on the learning curve, on building the
- 8:29Speaker 1: seven eight seven and the model mix works in their favor.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So in terms of the health of the company, the
- 8:40Speaker 1: bottom line, the revenues, where is bowing in its cycle? Now?
- 8:43Speaker 1: I grew up in Olympia, Washington, so I remember when
- 8:46Speaker 1: Boeing was fully ensconced in Washington State, and of course
- 8:50Speaker 1: it's it's spread its operations around the world. Where is
- 8:52Speaker 1: it now? Well? Still, the vast majority of production is
- 8:57Speaker 1: is in UM is in Seattle, and of course all
- 9:00Speaker 1: seven three sevens are built there today. UM there's a
- 9:04Speaker 1: split between South Carolina and UM Everett for the seven
- 9:09Speaker 1: eight sevens, and I think that's frankly, you know, healthy,
- 9:12Speaker 1: You create a little bit of sibling rivalry, rivalry if
- 9:15Speaker 1: you want to call it that. UM. The the ability
- 9:19Speaker 1: of bowing to now source from more places is good UM.
- 9:24Speaker 1: But I also think what's happened has been that with
- 9:27Speaker 1: recent wage agreements and other factors, the company is now
- 9:31Speaker 1: in a position to actually do more by excuse me,
- 9:35Speaker 1: do more make inside than by UM. The productivity of
- 9:39Speaker 1: the I AM is terrific and it's and it's making
- 9:42Speaker 1: people outside have to step up their game in order
- 9:44Speaker 1: to sell the Bolling Howard. I was noting over the
- 9:47Speaker 1: weekend that there're being, of course, many changes inside the
- 9:50Speaker 1: aircraft extended American Airlines, premium economy sections, the companies that
- 9:59Speaker 1: make the equipment that goes into the planes. Are there
- 10:03Speaker 1: any that you think investors would benefit from owning? Well,
- 10:06Speaker 1: we don't have a buy on B Aerospace, but they
- 10:10Speaker 1: are the premier provider of seats and cabin interiors. They
- 10:13Speaker 1: have a leading share of galleys, and I do agree
- 10:17Speaker 1: with you, Pim that UM as airlines have become more
- 10:21Speaker 1: full um load factors average or more. In many cases,
- 10:26Speaker 1: people realize there's no such thing as a free seat
- 10:28Speaker 1: where they can leave their stuff and work, and they
- 10:31Speaker 1: have to pay for it. And so what better way
- 10:33Speaker 1: to do it than um to offer better comfort with seats.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And that's been a big effort by both Boeing and Airbus,
- 10:40Speaker 1: but also by b Aerospace to do it right. Thank
- 10:44Speaker 1: you very much for spending time with us. Howard Rebel.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He is a senior equity research analyst aerospace in the
- 10:50Speaker 1: defense electronics industry and a managing director at Jeffreys and Company.
- 10:55Speaker 1: You're listening to taking stock and this is Bloomberg. This
- 11:03Speaker 1: is taking stock on. Kathleen Hayes a long with pim Fox.
- 11:06Speaker 1: So we're gonna be finding out next how to make
- 11:09Speaker 1: some income in a low deal, low growth environment.
