Ahead of the open on the unexpected and welcome profit beat. Getting set for the latest on Consumer Prices and what it could mean for the fed decision next week. Its friday, april 26th, 2024. Youre watching Worldwide Exchange right here on cnbc good morning and welcome to Worldwide Exchange. Were coming to you live from cnbc london. Thank you for being with us on friday morning lets kickoff the check after whipsaw action yesterday with the major averages closing off session lows offer the weaker than expected gdp print and what was the busiest day of the First Quarter earnings season. Look at the beats. You see they are in the green. Nasdaq up 1 the dow looking like they would open 60 points higher. S p up. 75 . The big story is big tech led by alphabet and what you could call a triple crown Earnings Report First Quarter revenue and net income ahead of estimates. 17 billion in Free Cash Flow announcing the Quarterly Dividend and 70 billion Share Buyback program. The stock is popping after hours trading up 11 it is set to join the 2 trillion Market Cap Club at the open microsoft with the top and bottom line fiscal Third Quarter results above estimates. Revenue growth was a bit weaker than expected. Cap ex is high with Satya Nadella telling shareholders to expect more of the same in the coming quarters. And then Snapchat Parent Company with snap with beats all around and earnings and profit revenue and daily active users beat. Snap shares up over 23 . And trying to keep the equity gains in check with the twoyear note hovering at 5 yield ahead of the pce Inflation Report. The twoyear yield popping up at 4. 99 it crossed the 5 yearold yestyiel yesterday. Thats the setup joining me now is Sophie Lundyates and ryan from the carson group i want to start off with the report it came after weaker than expected gdp which is counterintuitive of economic reports work in recent weeks it has been the hotter report leads to the selloff were you surprised by this or is this part of the seasonality of the Election Year . Frank, good morning thank you for having me back after 30 rally over the past year, the huge rally off the october lows, you see i indigestion and then you get a surprise rally look at the gdp. Consumption was strong parts of the economy mattered. Imports and exports took away 1 of the dgdp. What upset the apple cart was inflation data pce. Monthly pce comes in later today. To put a bow on this, you look at the quarterly data. Most of the Financial Services fees are higher. Why is that . The stock market did great last year that is the reason the quarterly pce was hotter we are anxious for today i know the last two months have been rocky we think today could bring good news and the market look past the gdp number you have to be impressed with the reversal 24 hours ago, things were ugly now were doing better. Sophie, coming over to you. Gdp appeared to show the impact of higher rates on the economy and leading to a bit of a slowdown in your mind, that gdp report, does it have any read on the tech trade we are seeing the markets move higher with alphabet and microsoft. The macro picture is always going to effect super Growth Stocks liooksikes like this things are more muted than they usually would be the market is far more interested with the outlook statements and pure play individual stock stories and growth outlooks and runway for a. I. It does matter if we see dramatic moves in either side with the macro that will affect appetite for growth Growth Stocks. However, the macro is more diluted than in previous times i want to go back to gdp. One data point accelerated up over priv3 sophie, microsoft increased cap ex by 80 . Alphabet by 91 . A day ago, meta got dinged for that why were they rewarded for the huge cap ex . That is a good way to state that there is a reason for this primarily, the market is spooked by what meta is doing. The strategy behind that increase in accelerated spending is less clear cut than it is for the likes of microsoft in particular for example, the a. I. For microsoft is a lot clearlier tit is for meta. There is not the tried and tested track record. It is a leap of faith. I have the right ideas and the spending will payoff microsoft has a clear track record of already pulling it off. Thats why the market is a lot jumpy around metas plans. Ryan, back over to you. You believe pce is cooler than expected you believe it will be a positive surprise here is this a market moving economic report or has this already been figured out that we are going to take a few more for the fed to make a definitive decision it wellill take a few more positive Inflation Reports we have not had too many we could see a pop if inflation after yesterdays worry after looking deeper in the quarterly pce number you look at what is going on we have unit labor production which is low high productivity. Wages are strong, but coming back down. There are parts of inflation that are sticky. Shelter which is what people have talked about for a while now. It is not a perfect scenario we are optimistic we will have two cuts this year i know not many thought that three months ago, everybody was saying seven cuts. We may see three cuts. Now the pendulum has swung no cuts or a hike. We will see more data. Ryan, i want to jump in your forecast is two cuts. Some people believe zero cuts. Is it important we get two cuts or the fed indicates we get cuts to kieep the rally going the pull backs happen we have a huge rally it could be any reason i think just as long as the fed continues to give a clue they will not hike and the hiking cycle is done, which they have because that is what they have given. At the end of the day, we have seen potential cuts baecause the economy is strong and we continue to see higher Earnings Growth 12 months out those are the things that truly matter and consumption at 200,000 jobs every month there are still positives, frank, with overweight equities. Once we get through the seasonal lull, we will get a summer rally. You tend to see that a lot in the Election Year. Sell in may and go away. We will know this. The worst six months of the year are in strong Election Years. Sophie, the last word right now. Ryan believes we could see two cuts this year we have seen the magnificent seven mega cap trade breakdown since jay powell said rates will stay higher for as long as needed is this pce report important investors have turned their back on tech with the rate cut path become less clear. It is very important because it speaks to the fact that where we are with inflation now which is moving in the right direction. The last few points of inflation are sticky i know we are all sick of hearing that word. What we know is all of the spending that can be pulled out of the economy has already happened what is left is entrenched that is problematic. That is why we see heightened nerves it matters to mega cap tech. We dont want to see Interest Rates protracted as i was stating earlier, what will move the dial more are the comments on a. I. And outlook and who will win this very interesting race that were in the middle of at the moment. Two more big reports to go. Apple and amazon sophie and ryan, thank you very much for more on what is driving the markets, head to cnbc pro at cnbc. Com pro busy day stateside not to be outdone by the action in london.

Im Frank Holland coming to you from cnbc london lets get you ready on the trading day. We pick up the stock futures after what was a whipsaw session yesterday. We saw the major session lows close off the disappointing First Quarter gdp print and earnings miss. Big reversal it looks like the dow would open up 40 points higher. Nasdaq is the big winner over 1 high near prer in the premarket the economist expect core prices to rise 2. 7 year over year. A slight particular lower than a month ago. The report today is due out at 8 30 a. M. Eastern time it is the last Economic Data point before the Federal Reserve policy meeting next week ahead of that, we look at the bond market. Right now, the benchmark at 4. 628. Highest since november of 2023 the twoyear note at 4. 99. Holding below 5 it hit 5 yesterday. Thats the morning set up. Lets turn our attention to the biggest money movers of the day. Alphabet soaring First Quarter profits jumped by more than half and beating forecasts as it continues the push into a. I. The Company Announcing a 70 billion buyback and the first ever dividend of 20 cents a share. Elsewhere, snap with revenue and daily active users beating estimates and guidance and user growth above estimates the bigger rival, snap is leading into a. I. To boost the ad business. Lets get more from Richard Kramer richard, it is good to see you in person. We are both tall who knew who knew . Lets start off with snap a surprise here. Before the quarter, there were concerns of the digital ad business in the case of snap, it is a minnow compared to microsoft and alphabet 50 million higher than consensus than for second quarter. Put that in for a 1. 2 billion business put that in context of google results which had a 7 billion increment al addition to the ad for the quarter. It is brought forward by the trends you see at google i want to get to the google digital ad numbers 2 higher at over 66 billion. 12 higher year over year. This report from google is more reflective than the google ad environment . Absolutely. Google and meta have half of the Global Digital ad market both added 6 billion and 7 billion respectively in terms of additional ad spend year on year when you add that with microsoft, you are looking at 25 billion of incremental revenue they pulled in year on year that is unprecedented. We have never seen that economic concentration. They are backing that up with massive investment google is on the 50 billion cap ex run rate. They are plowing money into the a. I. Arms race like never before. Alphabet cap ex is up year on year most of the spending is expected to be spent on Artificial Intelligence snap is using a. I. To boost their ad business. Mark zuckerberg is investing in a. I. , but did not have a clear path forward richard, does a. I. Matter when it comes to the ad space i dont think we quite see the impact of it when it comes to the copilot. In the ad space, is there a definitive use case . The reality is a. I. Has been driving the ad business for years already. All of the Google Search recommendations and youtube recommendations and ad placements on meta are all driven by Machine Learning or a. I. Technology already. Thats already embedded in the business what zuckerberg is rightly pointing out will take more time is the new products and assistants that consumers have to get comfortable using make most mistake, the digital ads business for meta and google runs on a. I. Today i never thought about it before you are right. Talking about something to your friend and all of a sudden it pops up on the timeline as a advertisement. It is an ad function we have some other players coming up. One is amazon with the growing digital ad business. Is that read from what we see from google the . Neither amazon has a digital demand Side Platform business growing quickly. The majority of the ads business is sponsored products listings on amazon itself if you want to sell on amazon, the largest ecommerce in the u. S. And most of the western world, you have to sponsor our products with advertising. Thats the core of the ad offering it shows especially with google calling out strength in the retail business, that the paytoplay ad placement for retailers and product producers is essential does that mean amazon will benefit . Absolutely. All of the companies, there is no way they can place the scale of 60 billion or 35 billion of digital ads in a given quarter without automating that business richard, always great to sigh you. Thank you for being here coming up later today, you dont want to miss the interview with snap Ceo Evan Spiegel at 11 00 a. M.

Not just alphabet, but microsoft taking center stage. The company blowing past q3 estimates thanks to growth in the cloud on the push into a. I those a. I. Investments are proving to be a doubleedged sword with the the cfo telling nearterm demand is higher than the microsoft capacity Satya Nadella is still remaining optimistic about Growth Opportunities on yesterdays earnings call. Otur a. I. Innovation is building on the partnership with the openai the number of 100 million plus a azure deals increased month over month. Joining me with the take is timothy, the Senior Analyst in Cloud Services at oppenheimer. Good morning from london good to have you on the show we email or talk when i figure out the hyper scalers. Azure has 36 of the market share globally all of the a. I. Enthusiasm, does this have potential to move it higher with the market share maybe in the first spot taking out aws . There is a potential. That woill take a couple of years. You have aws growing at half that rate. It is just a matter of time if it continues at this rate. Just a matter of time in your mind, how real is this a. I. Copilot adoption . I talked to a lot of people who say it is mixed. Early adoption is a push and pull it is not going smoothly people are using it and companies are buying it, but getting the employees to use it. What does this is a to you about the horizon with the ya. I. Copilot . Teams users of a. I. Double on actual transactional basis they rolled out 150 upgrades of the 365 copilot in the quarter alone. This is the early product. They think the demand is extremely strong you are basically seeing that in the cap ex numbers they would not be doubling cap ex from 30 billion to 60 billion without indication the demand would be extremely strong if you look at the cap ex guidance of the big three. Meta just reported and alphabet and microsoft, the guidance is going from 100 billion of cap ex to 150 billion the proof is in the pudding. If you are going to spend that money, you believe you will get a payback in a relatively short period of Time Microsoft is guiding cap ex which bgrew 80 year over year. Why are investors reacting positively to this when meta got hit for its cap ex guidance . A couple of years ago, cap ex was speculative. We didnt know the metaverse would develop. We are seeing a supply demand imbalance. Our channel checks suggest there is not enough accelerate error k out there. You see the improvements from a. I. Are astonishing that is why microsoft exa accelerated growth in azure and the supply demand im balance azure would have grown faster if they had all of the components they needed. Microsoft thinks our i. T. Stack will be transformed with all this you are looking at unbelievable productivity improvements. You sound sold on it. We have people coming on who are bullish like dan ives. You sound like you are 100 sold a. I. Sayis a catalyst. They revealed surfaces in the quarter and they have a digital ad business. Is that going to benefit the other segments as well absolutely. It is something they highlighted with cocacola contract. When you look at Drug Development and healthcare industry, you will very productivity improvement in almost every segment of the market we are very early in the process. It will not be a Straight Line process at all we think we will i was asking about the microsoft device business and ad business does a. I. Boost those businesses for microsoft . I know you are sold on them helping other businesses, but what about their internal businesses great point the device business will take longer to develop. It is helping a bit on the margin at this point that will take time. On the ad business, clearly every segment that microsoft is using internally is talking about eating their own dog food. They didnt specifically mention the ad business yesterday. All right we have to leave it there. Microsoft share up 4 .

Good to see you in person. Likewise. We have to look at the pce report at 8 30 a. M. In the u. S how important is it to the u. S. Markets and Global Economy do you feel this could be a market moving event . It is going to be very important. All eyes are on it the view of our economists has been if it comes at 2. 7, this is still the threshold for the fed to cut in june if it comes higher and yesterdays data suggests the level could be 2. 8, then that brings questions into the timing of the first cut you still think a june cut is on the table do you think many people in the market and investors are seeing that cut on the table . It felt like jay powell in april should t shut the door on that. There is still a small chance it could happen. The Market Pricing is suggests it will be later it comes at 2. 8 and we perhaps get a july cut i want to talk about the magnificent seven mega cap tech. We got reports from microsoft and alphabet a lot of concentration in the m market with the risk of the burst. Investors have confidence in the companies. Going forward, do you see the magnificent seven trade being something that continues to power the market or are we going to see rotation . A good question of course, it is not a bubble if it is underpinned by the fundamentals our philosophy is the area is another trigger catalyst for the direction of the equity market moving forward our view and models with pricing for eps has been suggesting that the u. S. Market and especially big tech and Growth Companies have been priced for perfection. That means the bar to satisfy the markets is quite high. In terms of europe, the market is more fairly priced. If reports come in line with the analysts, it is okay for the u. S. , the numbers have to come higher we see that playing out in the market this week you favor europe over the u. S. Right now you think there is more upside opportunity . What we see going forward, if we dont see too many cracks in the Global Economy and so far so good, we see continuous upgrades, but low levels, especially in europe the extratrajectory is happenin within europe, the ecb will go ahead in june. Sentiment measures are improving. We think it will be we are coming back to the environment that is going to be conducive of the broadening of the market i know you cant pick individual stocks but, but you there is a lot hanging on the Consumer Discretionary we will show a chart from jay powell with rates. Consumer discretion is down. Are you concerned that commodity inflation will hit industrials and consumers in the u. S. Are stretched . What cycle s are we in right no . Thats the most important question where we are in the cycle. Our view is no cycle the anymore. Traditional cycle thes are basen booms and busts. This is why we dont necessarily need a big credit bust what has happened over the last few weeks in the market with the sectors slightly down means we need to step back and put them in perspective of the markets with sentiment they have gone up so high over the past five months that is suggesting the market was ready to take some profit. We had quite a few negatives happening at the same time geopolitical flare up.
