• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Should build Up Bloomberg, chief correspondent for Global Aviation Should
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines trying to end operation what happened to the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: potential deal with the US government.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: So from what we understand, Spirit Deadlines couldn't reach a
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: deal with its creditors, and so the creditors were a roadblock.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Bloomberg earlier reported that creditors were a roadblock in agreeing
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to any deal with the government, and that was primarily
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: because of concerns about what basically liabilities and what their
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: recoveries would look like post a government deal. I mean, remember,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the government was proposing them superseding other lenders, and so
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: that's turned into a bit of a The creditors weren't
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: sort of happy with that deal, and so we understand
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: because of that, the government deal can't go forward, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that's really forcing spad Alines to consider bankruptcy and shutting down.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Essentially Okay, So a shutdown, what would that look like
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: for an airline? How long does that take?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Shutdowns usually take a few It could take a matter
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: of a couple of days, or it could be a day,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and it would sort of cause considerable discomfort and considerable
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: sort of pain to various people. So on one hand,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you have the passengers who would then be stranded without
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: options in terms of being able to fly. I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: we may see some of the credit the other airlines
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and their competitors offering rescue flights or other sort of alternatives,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: but as far as because the consumers are concerned, they
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: would be sort of looking for a way to get
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out of their flights and see if they could go
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to And the other concern is one for the staff
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and essentially what happens with them, and then also the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: assets of the airline and what happens with the aircraft
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and other sort of assets that the airline has. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: there's multifacets to that thing. And we are still looking
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to see what the rollout is going to be if
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: there is in fact no chance of saving this.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking at dees screen for Spirit Airlines
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: as shows has about almost ten thousand employees, So that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the human side of it. Is there any chance, said,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that another airline could come in here, I see that
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Jet bluestock is down more than four percent. Maybe people
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: speculating that they might come in and try to buy
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: this thing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: There could be speculation that the assets could go up
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: for the assets could be available to other airlines to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: get them. There's also a possibility that the creditors and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the government reached some sort of agreement just in the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: sort of final like the final hours. So it's still
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: not yet over, but we will be watching the story
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to see what happens next.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Looking at Jet Blue Airways right now, the stock's actually
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: trading up. I correct myself, stocks trading up a little bit.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But I wonder the government blocked them before, so I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: not sure they would proceed again.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: That's a good question, I mean said, do you think
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: the government might try to pivot and not force consolidation
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: but encourage an airline to pick up spirit.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: The government would drive, but again the stumbling block would
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: be what price those are paid and essentially what the
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: creditors sort of want from this. So it is hard
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to see how an airline could come in and get
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a merger done, especially given that Spirit's been running out
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: of cash and there's no in their second bankruptcy. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: they were meant to exit their second bankruptcy, and so
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it's hard to see how that could happen so quickly
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: in terms of giving them a lifeline to actually keep going.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Stay with us.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: More from Boomwork Intelligence coming up after this.

• 4:13
  Speaker 2: This is a conversation of the day for me Gene.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Monster managing partner Deep Border Asset Management joins us here
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: because it was a big, big week for some of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the leading technology compans. You remember Friday afternoon we had
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the Amazons, the Facebooks, to Metas, all that kind of stuff.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Microsoft report numbers, and then last night Apple Gene. You
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: saw a lot of the big names, a lot of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the headline names report earnings. Here today, it seems like
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the market really is trying to identify winners, maybe a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Google losers at least in a short term, maybe a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Meta given it stockbased performance yesterday. What was your takeaway
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: from all these numbers.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I tend to look at beyond the quarter, beyond
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: the guidance, and try to think about what we've learned
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: about whatever the kind of the investment curve that we're on.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Of course, we know what the a topic is, what
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: inning are we in AI? And what I learned is
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I would say it's probably consensus from the takeaways, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: it's that we're still early, probably earlier than what we
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: had thought maybe six months or a year ago. And specifically,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: if we look at kind of one benchmark, which is
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: the hyperscalers capex spend for this year and for next year,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: we saw a measurable bump up for calendar twenty six
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: calendar twenty seven. So three of the four, with the
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: exception of Amazon three, those the other three, Google, Microsoft
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: and Meta all increased their growth rates meaningfully, again off
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: of numbers that were hard to imagine them going higher.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: That's been kind of a well traveled so Paul, to
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: answer your question is I think we are still very early,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: very early, second inning in all of this, and I
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: think there's just this there's part of just being a
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: human thinking that this just can't last. I mean we've
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: been we're entering year three of this incredible growth. Like
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: the numbers just keep getting bigger and the comps get
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: more difficult, and they just keep crushing through it. Eventually
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: it has to slow down. We're just not seeing that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: And I would just put one other piece that we've learned.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Google and Meta both have shown that they can leverage
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: AI at scale. Those companies have seen some remarkable accelerations
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: in their growth, Google Search going from call it ten
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: to eleven percent a year or so ago to nineteen
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: percent in the March quarter. Meta was growing at sixteen
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: percent their AD business in the March twenty five quarter.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: They were at thirty three percent a year later and
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: guided to twenty eight percent for the June quarter. So
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: we have seen these two companies are great examples of
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the benefit this nagging question about is there actually utility
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: and AI. These companies have showed that, but beyond those,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: the world really hasn't seen it. And I think that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: the opportunity.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: So if we're the second inning of the AI cycle,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: as you put it, does that mean Apple, which really
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: has not done very much with AI, is really not
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: that far behind and can make up whatever lost ground
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: people seem to think it has, or is Apple's interaction
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: with AI just fundamentally different than the hyperscalers and the rest.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Of big tech.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Well, Apple is both behind, but not far enough behind
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: that they can't catch up. To your point, and I
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: would just look at very simply, is you know there's
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: a problem if there was some other competing AI consumer
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: device that was capturing people's attention. We haven't seen that yet.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: That's example of a problem. Another example that we'd know
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: there's a problem if somehow the kind of the base
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: was starting to drift away for whatever reason. And they've
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: essentially continued to strengthen their underlying base. And you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the numbers are are quite remarkable, and I think that
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: part of the reason why we've seen this surge over
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: the last three quarters. So iPhone on average has grown
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: at twenty percent of the last three quarters. The previous
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: basically four years, it grew at an average of just
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: over one percent. So we've seen this big jump up.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: That's called a supercycle. That's what I would call a supercycle.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Supercycles don't last, but the fact that they're able to
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: deliver a supercycle in the face of not having any
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: compelling AI. I think speaks to how they've just become
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the fabric of consumers' lives so scarlet to kind of
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: bring it all together, I think that you know, they're
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: not so far behind that they can't capitalize on this,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And I mean that's the real question here. Shares of
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Apple right now up four percent ish on what was
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: some spectacular guidance, really underscores that investors are essentially looking
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: past this great guidance in the June quarter. They're already
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: thinking about next year where that growth slows down, back down,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: iPhone growth back to five percent versus twenty percent over
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: the past few quarters. And that's kind of the central
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: question here. You're getting at. The real question is like, ultimately,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: can they take AI and create growth, outsize growth outside
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: of the supercycle. And that's what investors essentially don't believe
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: right now. But that's what kind of where the lines
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: are laying down Geene.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: If we're in the second inning, does that suggest we've
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: got many quarters and maybe years of this elevated level
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: of capex to look forward to, and if so, would
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that become increasingly ahead winding for the stocks?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Well, the CAPEX impact is different for different companies, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: so the best that I can see is that if
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: you're a hyper scaler and you're spending more on Capex,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: if you have a cloud business, then your investors are
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: generally okay with that spending. On the Google call, they
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: announced that they're going to be basically gave a suggestion
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: that they'll grow CAPEX next year between twenty and thirty percent.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: The street was at ten percent. This is for calendar
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: twenty seven now, and the stock didn't. It went down
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: and then it kind of came right back up on that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: It basically ugged it off. Meta does the same thing,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: talks about twenty six, a step up in twenty six
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: and the stocks down seven percent. And so the difference
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: between those and Microsoft talked about a step up and
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: spending is in this stock didn't wasn't bothered by it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I think the issue here is like CAPEX in itself
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: is not negative. What's the issue is, I think for
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: many investors is that they just don't see the path
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: between CAPEX. One last thing. It's a mystery to me
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: because I don't understand why investors don't give metacredit because
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: they've shown that they can deliver capex on faster revenue growth.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Stay with us.
• 10:38

  Speaker 2: Bencent Piazza Joints to season senior equity research channels. Follow
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: all this oil and gas stuff. He's here in our
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Blueberg Interactive Broker studio.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: Fince.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: What you learn from Exon and Chevron today.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Well, like you said, you know, price Trump's volume number one,
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: number two, the rest of the world got punched, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Exon and Chevron got pinched. And I think you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: when you think about the integrated model during times of stress,
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: that's when it works. And I think you'll see similar
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: for two Q as well. Because you know, one Q
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: we only had one month of that price inflation. We're
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: coming into the second month of inflated prices here. So
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: from an upstream perspective, net benefit to both, even though
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: the production outages are probably more sustained into two Q,
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: but overall prices are higher and price Trump's volume. So
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: for the most part, we're moving toward an environment for
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: them where at least the upstream component will do well.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: And upstream, of course's exploration in production downstream is refining
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: what was notable to me and looking at the results
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: is that xcell will was just as challenged as everyone
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: else and giving guidance because no one knows how long
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: the street of horm moves will be closed for, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: they really couldn't pinpoint anything.
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: Can't pinpoint anything, And if you look at prices along
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: the curve, I'm not really sure the traders really appreciate
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: it as well, because you know, we're here and we
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: see that one hundred dollars per barrel. But if you
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: look at the November and December contracts, there somewhere in
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: the high seventies, low eighties, and so interestingly, by the
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: time we get into election season, those contracts will be
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: the spot contracts, so it'll be very interesting to see
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: what happens at that point. But for the most part,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: if you think about not only excell On and Chevron,
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: but also the other majors across the globe, you're seeing
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: the same kind of results where price is trumping a
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: volume for the most part.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Last events before we let you go, why don't I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: just go down to Texas and drill hole? What are
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: recounts doing? Are the landman's the wildcatters of the world.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Are they taking advantage of one hundred dollars oil?
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: They are still being disciplined because, as I mentioned to you,
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: the prices out on the longer end of the curve
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: are still somewhat subdued, and so you're not really incentivizing
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: you to drop a lot of capital into the ground.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: But more importantly, guys like you investors overall telling the space,
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: I don't want additional molecules. What I want is distributions,
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: and that's the process for shareholder engagement, giving them dividends
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: and the stock buybacks that they need.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Stay with us.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: More from Bloomberg Intelligence coming.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Up after this.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence podcast. Catch us live
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: weekdays at ten am Eastern on Apple, Coarclay, and Android

  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, or watch us live on YouTube.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Let's switch gears to We've been talking about luxury esday
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: lawder and you want to talk luxury, there's only one
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: person to talk to, and that's Debake and Bloomberg Intelligence
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Luxury Goods Annaly. She is based in London. She spends
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: most of her time on the various high streets around
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the world at the high luxury dealers there. What would
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you learn from from Esday Lauder this reporting period.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: Well, it's quite a mixed bag actually, you know, the
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: share price was off heavily into results here to date.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: But what we learned is that the PRGP, the profit
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: saving program, the way they're adding innovation and.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Flexibility is starting to work for them.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: So they've returned to growth on the top line, a
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: couple of percent constant currency sales growth and then they
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: got a three percent forex benefit, So that will help
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: them to really be able to, you know, to invest
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: more and add to what they're doing on the safe inside.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: When we look at the underlying growth, it's all fragrances
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: and other so skincare, hair care in particular. Skincare is
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: an issue for them because it's their biggest division. All
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: those numbers are flat year on you. So it's ten
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: percent growth in fragrances, not much growth elsewhere, so still
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: a lot to do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: And what that makes me wonder is how.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: Quickly these potential the potential for combining with Pooge, how
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: quickly that might go ahead, or whether it may be delayed,
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: or whether it may be off the table. So there's
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: quite a lot behind these numbers to me when I
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: dig deep.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: So I'm so glad you bring up Poosh because there's
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: that proposed mergerer with Poosh brands, and they really the
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: company did not give very many details in the earnings
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: call about how that's going or how those conversations are going.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Is that a reason to be concerned about whether this
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: is will actually happen.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: No, not at all.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: So we had Poosh as well reporting a couple of
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: days ago.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: They were okay as well in what they were doing
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: in their.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Improvements from what we saw from the prior quarters. But
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: actually because there's no agreement in place, it's just we've
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: just been informed from both parties that they're in talks.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: It's usual if they don't break earnings because something is
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: about to happen. Or certainly Poosha's delayed a cup the
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: market day, but it goes ahead within AGM on the
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: twenty ninth of May. But it is usual that these
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: companies would come out and say this is about earnings
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: and we're not going to give any comment on what
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: we're doing behind any potential talks.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the current feel out there in the investor
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: community about luxury these days? Is what's the driver right
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: here in terms of sentiment what we're.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Seeing actually as so we picked upon it. The last
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: couple of quarters, we did some work where we were
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: starting to see in China the shift from red towards
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: neutral and then the last couple of quarters towards green,
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: and we've seen that continue. So it's slow progress, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: we now have the beauty companies also including estill Order
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: coming through with six percent organic growth in China. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: some repair in travel retail and repairing the premium end
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: in China coming through, and that is very much across
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: those premium beauty brands and also the high end of luxury.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: That would be the one thing.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: The second thing we don't quite see it here though
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: it is in some of Still Order's brands and not others. Americas,
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: particularly the US has proven very robust and we're getting
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: decent growth rates coming through on the luxury side. And
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: I would in fact say that for twenty twenty six,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: given that China is against a decline still versus twenty five,
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: it's actually Americas and particularly the US that is driving
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: the growth rate in luxury goods.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: So we're kinds of looking at.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: This market and the beachy market coming through it around
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: four to five percent growth, and what we find in
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: so far is that the Middle East is about one
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: hundred basis points impact on that growth rate.
