Digging in on Apple and Amazon's quarters - YouTube
Channel: CNBC Television
[0]
sticking with tech earnings let's take a
[1]
look at the after hours action in apple
[2]
and amazon both the calls are underway
[4]
right now let's bring in vast money
[5]
friend gene munster of loop ventures for
[6]
more reaction to the numbers he's been
[8]
dialed into the call
[10]
so gene what are the highlights so far
[12]
let's start with apple
[14]
melissa they guided revenue in line with
[16]
expectations you have to do some
[18]
decoding of luca's commentary
[22]
basically there's a big fx impact a six
[24]
percent fx impact in the september
[26]
quarter you highlighted this going into
[28]
the call that in fact happened you need
[31]
to
[32]
factor that in when you do that
[35]
essentially it looks like that the
[36]
numbers for the september quarter and
[38]
the top line are going to be in line
[40]
with expectations on the profitability
[43]
side they gave margin guidance that was
[45]
fractionally below where the street is
[47]
at for september but they typically
[49]
exceed that guidance so i think when you
[51]
kind of put it together it was
[53]
essentially a coast is clear with the
[55]
september quarter this is something that
[56]
i was most nervous about going into the
[59]
call just given some of the discounting
[61]
that they've been doing in china and i
[62]
was happy to see uh them guide in line
[65]
yeah and for amazon gene
[68]
uh amazon all the good news came on they
[71]
uh when they put the press release out
[73]
the one takeaway is this is accelerating
[75]
revenue from seven percent in the june
[77]
quarter to 17
[80]
why is amazon outpacing walmart the
[83]
reason is that e-commerce is still in
[84]
its infancy and amazon is reaping that
[87]
about 20 is bought online in the us and
[90]
amazon's benefiting from that
[92]
gene i'm going to ask you to pull out
[93]
the history books if there are history
[94]
books for this and that is how do these
[96]
how do these two stocks react in general
[98]
to
[99]
um you know recessionary environment and
[102]
i'm asking this because you know we have
[104]
this sort of question if rate hikes
[106]
impacts aren't for quarters in the
[108]
future and we're getting a snapshot for
[110]
what was the second quarter and for the
[112]
third quarter at this point gene we
[114]
haven't actually seen any impact on the
[116]
consumer yet so maybe these these
[117]
results while good aren't really
[120]
reflective of what the environment will
[121]
be
[124]
well the history book would say to just
[126]
look at the body of data that we have
[129]
and in this case we have data points
[131]
from some of the big tech companies and
[133]
some of the traditional companies and my
[136]
sense is that the traditional companies
[138]
big companies are stumbling they're
[140]
missing numbers they are guiding down
[142]
but you see the results from i guess
[144]
apple in particular the strength in it
[147]
and i think what's going on is very
[148]
simple is uh there is a break here and i
[152]
think it underscores the dependency that
[154]
we have whether it's on apple or amazon
[157]
the dependency that we continue to have
[159]
not just about the last two years but
[161]
just year in and year out and i would
[165]
so i think that they will do better
[166]
we're seeing them do better which means
[169]
that investors can sleep better at night
[171]
owning companies like apple and i would
[173]
just offer one final piece that doesn't
[176]
mean that apple is going to be immune to
[179]
any of the these headwinds things can
[181]
change but this was a really tell the
[183]
september guide was a huge tell about
[186]
the strength that they have and they're
[188]
a conservative team and they're
[189]
optimistic about september so the simple
[192]
takeaway is every company is going to be
[194]
impacted and apple in particular is
[196]
doing a better job because people just
[199]
simply want their products more
[201]
gene thanks always good to speak with
[202]
you gene munster
[204]
we should note that apple has paired
[205]
some of its gains in the after session
[207]
now up 2.8 versus the 4 that we saw
[210]
right after the print courtney it's back
[212]
the notion that big cap tech
[215]
may be defensive maybe the stock you
[217]
want in a growth environment in a
[219]
contraction environment i mean
[222]
it's it's the all-weather stock do you
[224]
believe that
[226]
um yeah i'm a little bit cautious on
[228]
that but what i do like like take apple
[230]
for example they do have a lot of cash
[231]
on their balance sheet and i think that
[232]
is something that could really allow
[234]
them to whether through a down period
[236]
better than some of their competitors
[238]
are better than some of your smaller
[239]
companies um my hesitation here is even
[242]
though it's had come down in price
[243]
significantly it's still trading at a
[244]
higher valuations in this 10-year
[246]
average um and it is trading actually
[248]
higher than nasdaq is so
[250]
you know i think i would still want to
[251]
look for some of your companies that are
[252]
a little cheaper here we do own it i do
[254]
want to hold it for the long run i just
[256]
don't necessarily want to be actively
[257]
adding a ton more cashier
