>> it is possible. you just have to turn the clock back 18 months or so, when at&t bought directv. a a lot of people invest in at&t or in indices associated with -- or in indexes associated with at&t because it produces the dividends. they are looking for companies that are cash flow positive so they can keep churning out money and pay dividends. at&t is ultimately seen as a utility to many investors. directv and time warner are big, large moneymaking machines. >> people talk about vertical integration. there's this thought that vertical integration brings the cost down for consumers. but this is basically at&t adding another asset into their bundle. a lot of industries are effectively in decline, whether it is the time warner business or at&t's own business, facing challenges on the wireless front. >> at&t is really betting on content, going for something very aggressive. a decent chance of regulating -- regulation push back. this is a game changing transaction. >> apple shares are lower after trading. the company posting fourth-quarter sales that fell 9% from one year ago and brought the company its first annual sales decline since 2001. the other number we are watching -- iphone unit sales. it sold 44.54 million units, down 5% from a year ago, but remember that included just two weeks worth of sales for the iphone 7. what do you see as the highlights? >> apple will return to growth for this q1 holiday december quarter. emily: they say. >> they believe. they are estimating revenue above what the analysts have been looking at. other than that, everything is in line with expectations in terms of estimates for iphone numbers and the q4 revenue numbers. >> what investors have been asking for from tim cook is make apple grow again. the outlook in terms of revenue for the december quarter is excellent. the company will return to growth. that is what will get the stock moving again. >> let's look across german banks. deutsche bank set to be considering not paying bonuses in cash in order to boost investor confidence. people familiar say investors -- executives have formally discussed pending out shares in the non-core unit instead of cash rewards. >> it is a really intriguing scoop, because you could remove a bunch of costs this way. you could temporarily pay bonuses like that. you could also help capital ratio by getting rid of the non-core unit. credit suisse did a similar thing a couple of years ago, which was profitable for the employees. but then the rules changed. it became less attractive for the company to do. on top of that, there was a morale issue. we will have to look to see if they can keep the motivation up. motivation is behind the revenue in deutsche bank. to lose more motivation would hurt them. >> deutsche bank unexpectedly posting profits. the securities unit reporting a jump in revenue. barclays reported a 35% jump in earnings. let's start with the analyst wrap out of deutsche bank. we don't really know about revisions, and we don't know more about the doj, so what are the investors saying europe?

>> barclays can afford to be a little bullish, because it started its investment bank restructuring a little bit earlier. it is the same with such a bank in fixed income trading. but with all of the noise around deutsche bank, one of their head of investment banks says they have lost market share because of distractions. maybe this market share is not only coming in the u.s. for barclays but also to deutsche , bank. this ceo shied away from saying that, but certainly hinted at it. there will be a lot of volatility in the investment banks. as they warn, a couple of good courses in a row does not mean they are out of the woods yet. >> banks headlining today's earnings. another day of ubs and others coming in above estimates, buoyed by the debt provision. -- by the debt divisions. what is the take away? >> it is not all happy days yet. take rbs. the bottom line is still affected by litigation and restructuring costs. but the core decisions are doing better. bond trading lifting. even deutsche bank. the take away has been you look at the course of the numbers being good, and investors are looking well beyond that looking at efficiency, cost cutting, restructuring. >> the u.s. economy picks up in the third quarter. the economy growing 2.9%, the biggest rise in two years. >> this is a story i want you to break down. what softened with the consumer? what picked up and will continue? >> that is the problem with this report. it is not as good under the hood. we saw exports rise. according to the congress department, a big rise in soybean exports during the quarter. that will likely not be sustained. we did see back earlier in the year the dollar weaken a little, , which has helped, but now the dollar is stronger. the inventory swing was accounted for about 6/10 of a percent of the rise of gdp. you take out inventory and net exports, and you end up with about a 1.4% growth rate, which is about where we have been growing. you can see where we could slip back in the next reports the next couple of quarters, if consumers do not pick up spending. matt: we will review more earnings reports later in the program. and monte paschi's ceo says he found a solution to the bank's problem. he tells us all about it in an exclusive interview. up next, more of the week's top is the stories. -- top business stories. a plan to finally upgrade london's heathrow airport. will it actually fly?

>> heathrow's expansion was vital before brexit, but it is even more necessary. we can deliver the benefits of heathrow expansion as quickly as possible, including getting more flights off of our existing two runways, allowing to connect more u.k. regions. the more britain can benefit as much as possible from the european union. >> it is a missed opportunity. allowing a spanish-owned monopoly like heathrow to waste $80 billion to build a runway that will not be delivered until 10 years and will already be full is not a solution. we need three additional runways, one each. at least you put competitive pressure on each airport to deliver an additional runway in a time and cost efficient manner. >> we believe there is an economic case for the expansion of heathrow. but it cannot be done at any cost. there is no way the cost should be passed on to our customers. if heathrow wants to expand, they should bear the risk, and they should deal with the cost. >> we are talking samsung. shareholders have elected lee jae-yong as the head. >> he's the son of the current chairman, hospitalized after a heart attack in 2014. j.y. is already vice-chairman. in general, let's look at the profits. third-quarter net profit falling 70% after having to pull the note 7 smartphone. the estimate is a revised estimate, which came in after they had to recall the note 7. the mobile unit is operating at $87.8 million u.s. a record low, down from $2.1 billion. mark: this is the biggest piece of economic data since brexit. since the day after brexit. whoa. bit of a surprise. to the upside. little signs says the national statistics of a pronounced brexit affect. there you go. the economy continues to surprise, growing by 0.5%. >> it is higher than we were expecting, but i am not that surprised. when talking to our members, we have seen quite a bit of resilience in the economy, and certainly in terms of the consumer, they are carrying on. that probably underpins some of the services. even on manufacturing, surveys have suggested stronger growth related to how the pound is helping exports than the official data suggests. i think it is too early to read in what is the impact of brexit and it is far too early to make any sort of judgments. bonnie: -- vonnie: m&a, qualcomm has finally reached an agreement with nxp. they also will allow it to diversify beyond mobile chips. >> lets to find the reading -- the rationale behind this deal. >> this is a defensive deal by qualcomm, which wants to move away from handsets. they need to diversify revenues and do so quickly and in a big way. this is an apt deal from that perspective. you're getting into the auto market, which is a slower growth market relative to what they have been historically, but it , moves one third of the revenue or so from handsets and put it into an area growing, that is profitable. ♪ ♪ matt: you are watching "bloomberg best." i am matt miller. it has been a challenging week for monte paschi, europe's oldest bank. facing a capital shortfall, the ceo marco morelli wanted a plan , -- outlined a plan to shore up the bank's balance sheet. he added details in their next -- in an exclusive interview with bloomberg television. mark: shares of monte paschi surging after announcing its plans to cut 2600 jobs and sell bad debt in a bid to attract investors, to turn around. bring us the key takeaways from the business plan. >> there were not a lot of fresh details. mr. morelli, the ceo, confirmed they are looking at raising 5 billion euros in the capital raising, in the transaction they want to do at the end of the year. you have confirmation of the disposal trying to get bad loans , off of their books. you have bits and bobs of cost-cutting. morelli on a conference call with analysts this morning repeated that they have not received interest from potential, what they are calling "anchor investors," large investors and institutions. he did not give any names. but we still do not know who these people are, how much they are willing to invest. the bank needs to raise 5 billion euros, possibly by the end of the year. >> are investors actively approaching you?
