[ad_1] 00:00 Speaker A

Huge Tech shares main market features in the present day with the NASDAQ 100 formally wiping out year-to-date losses. The magnificent seven including greater than $800 billion in market worth following the deal between the US and China to quickly scale back tariffs. Becoming a member of us now with extra, Dan Ives, Wedbush Securities world head of know-how analysis. Dan, nice to have you ever, as all the time. I do know you say this truce is one of the best case state of affairs. Which tech inventory is the largest winner inside that state of affairs?

00:29 Dan Ives

I believe it is Apple and Nvidia. I imply, when you take a look at this, that was the black cloud, proper? I imply, the provision chain coronary heart and lungs are in China. And, and as a lot as you'll be able to speak about shifting to India and others, this can be a large sigh of reduction. And, and I believe it modifications our view that, you already know, new highs for tech, new highs for the market, now on the desk after what we simply view as a dream state of affairs occurred this weekend.

01:08 Speaker A

Properly, Dan, let's speak about Apple just a little bit. I do know you had a name for a $3,500 iPhone if manufacturing was introduced again to the USA. What's your name on the worth of an iPhone in the present day?

01:21 Dan Ives

Look, it comes right down to. I imply, they're, they will should wrestle to not elevate costs. When you truly, they do not get exemptions and also you truly preserve some form of tariff in with regards to, to China. Look, it, all of it comes right down to the fact is iPhones should be made in China. Some could be made in India. They'll by no means actually be made within the US, as a result of if you would like them made within the US, the worth factors would mainly be large demand destruction on day one. And it might take 4 to 5 years to even construct 10% of that within the US. In order that's why our complete level during the last, referred to as six weeks was, let's speak actuality versus fairy story. And the fact is, is that iPhones will proceed to be in-built China with some being in-built India.

02:51 Speaker A

How do you suss out the fact versus a negotiation in a framework, a pondering of a deal when there is not essentially readability but on the objective of those tariffs?

03:08 Dan Ives

Look, I believe finally, they're each enjoying poker. And particularly U.S. They take a look at their hand, it isn't an excellent hand, proper? And I believe they needed to transfer additional and additional again from the cliff when it comes to what we noticed with the delay of the reciprocal. And clearly, when it got here to China, as a result of the cargo information would not lie and the worth factors would not lie. And no matter CEOs are saying publicly, behind closed doorways, what they're telling the White Home is, you should change, want to maneuver. So our view is, like, even with regards to the 30%, I imply, that is most likely the excessive bar. It goes to what referred to as a reciprocal 15%, 20%. As soon as you're employed at WTO IP and all the opposite points are going to should get labored out within the subsequent yr. However you do not need a decoupling with regards to AI revolution. And I believe this was, you already know, a possible black swan second that was self-created that is now not there.

04:42 Speaker A

And Dan, I assume, has Lou Basanez has a query for you.

04:46 Lou Basanez

So, Dan, I simply need to speak to you extra about Apple. I really feel like earlier within the present, I stated, this time of yr, everybody will get a bit destructive on Apple. How frightened are you about value sensitivity, proper? I imply, the buyer is tremendous loyal to Apple, 2.5 billion units on the market. You bought a variety of subsidies. Does it actually matter if the iPhone value is just a little bit increased than, than it was anticipated? I imply, do you actually assume that impacts demand?

05:17 Dan Ives

Yeah, no, it is an incredible query. Look, I imply, the very last thing Apple desires to do is, is elevate costs. And so they've saved costs mainly the identical. The rationale that's, is as a result of you could have referred to as 300 million iPhones that have not upgraded in 4 years. So if, even when it is 3%, 4%, 5% of that, which may be delayed for a yr due to a $100 improve, or solely $150. That is not what Apple desires, however they're beholden to their provide chain. However with regards to going to WWDC and iPhone 17, and clearly AI, I imply, this can be a key interval for them to truly see progress when it comes to excessive single digit, double digit progress, which is clearly evaded, you already know, when it comes to the Apple story over the previous few years.

06:39 Lou Basanez

Dan, one fast comply with up. Earlier within the present, I stated that MAG 7 was a boy band like NSYNC that is breaking apart. Who could be your? And I really like NSYNC. I really like NSYNC. Yeah, look, who could be your Justin Timberlake although for breakout? You stated Apple and Nvidia. When you needed to decide one for one of the best breakout for buyers proper now, which one are you most optimistic about on the aftermath of those commerce truce?

07:15 Dan Ives

If there was like a, if there was like a Timberlake a part of the NSYNC breaking out, it must be Nvidia. I imply, and look, Jensen, we, we'll see what occurs with the black leather-based jacket if he needed to, you already know, make it to be a boy band. However look, I believe the fact is, is that I believe it makes all new, new all-time highs as a result of there's just one ship on this planet fueling the AI revolution and that is led by godfather of AI, Jensen Nvidia.
