>> let's take a look at the markets. ate is how it was trading lunchtime. i have percent higher. we are seeing some regional strength right now. we will be back in half an hour. time now for bloomberg west. ♪

emily: i'm emily chang. you are watching "bloomberg west." vmware on its way up. a path forward with restructuring. and twitter's revolving door is still swinging. we check out the ceos record and tough job she has ahead. lead, iphone sales are stalling. overall sales were 2.9 billion dollars. profits, a 2% increase. the real number to watch is iphone sales. decades,irst time in iphone is forecasting a decline, the market for iphones may be

peaking. a different economic environment around the world, seeing softness in hong kong, a big part of their china business. take a look at what tim cook had to say moments ago. : we are seeing extreme conditions everywhere we look. major markets including brazil, russia, japan, turkey, southeast asia, and the eurozone have been having weakening currencies, falling commodity prices. question to ask, hasn't reached the limits? we have it all down, including our, editor-not-large, cory johnson. cory johnson, i will start with you. take it down.

what do you see. cory: the numbers are solid for apple. iphones theyst have ever sold, the most watches. corey: this is a tech stock. it is supposed to show big growth. the bottom line, in the real world, it should reflect actual growth. but look at this? 1% growth compared to 50% one year ago. that kind of change shows it is not growing anymore. it is hard for stock to show a the rest ison when negative. >> you are facing the worst conditions. even in 2009, we did not hear this kind of catastrophe.

so, in that sense, having been quarter, ando one they state this as a temporary situation due to extraordinary conditions mostly and him merging markets which has been the growth for them in the last few years. i think this is a temporary phenomenon. emily: interesting. i want to dig beeper. continue tod, we see strong business and china, strong interest in our products in china specifically. in the first few weeks of january we are seeing some level of economic softness. not in mainland china, but in hung con. i asked him about the reports into he said he could not comment specifically, but they have provided guidance for the acond quarter which points to

decline year-over-year. we see a different macro environment. he points to canada, brazil, and russia. foreignproblem with currencies which are weaker against the united states dollar. daniel, how alarming are these earning comments? do you think they are temporary? daniel: they are coming out with sincest consumer products iphone 6. they are dependent upon china. i would call it robust, respectable, where you see jinks in the armor. forward, it is about iphone seven. we're going to an interim product cycle. unless you are living under a the iphone number for

march, now it is really to .onvince investors the iphone seven, with china remaining strong, the key very away from their playbook? -- when you go to sleep tonight it is not like feel goodhis quarter for apple. success. i compare the emily: let us look beyond the iphone. can there be another blockbuster product that drives revenue as much as the iphone does? , he said on services in recent weeks we crossed a very important milestone. our installment for active devices is more than one billion. if you look at the size of the

service and how much we are growing, it is a big business not valued the way other businesses are. that our evaluation is not correct in that the stock price does not cart -- reflect the true value of our company. corey, would you agree? corey: we see the other category, nice growth there. a small business. lastpad #down in 11 of the 12 quarters. we are hearing reports they got rid of the car and of the business. have 1000 people working on an apple car there. very healthy things, good growth margins, free flow cash generation. there is hope for services. the other things they have tried have not worked.

andy: outside of iphones services, what are you most optimistic about? >> i still believe in the apple watch. is they sold 5.5 million units in this last quarter. somewhere north of 12 million since large. i think they are on target for 12 million in the first calendar year. we will see a high iteration rate in terms of software improvements. productnched this without anyone doing anything in this space. they actually are creating this market. the march category may not move -- the watch category may not move the needle the way the iphone did, but we of course have the car opportunity. there will be difficulty, speed dust, but it

will be a huge category in day trillion dollar business opportunity there. emily: net daniel, would you think is the future of appleby on the iphone? the game think changers, when you look at streaming, not only is there a speed bump in terms of negotiations, the key west is do they go outside of the label to and use some of the 200 billion for acquisition. time warner, netflix, apple has to do something big here. they are sort of getting into this red zone. the iphone seven will be , but longer-term and coming down to streaming, that is the key and focus. corey? companyple is not a

that does acquisitions like that. .mily: thank you all turning to the broader markets, another day of big swings for stocks. rallying. here we are in new york. >> clawing back from monday's selloff. u.s. consumer confidence for january came in at a three-month high and oil rallied. up 9/10 of100 closed a percent with telecom the t-mobileainer and propelling the sector. , bothg at the hard drive rallied more than 5%. seekings reported to be to buy a stake in western digital. in video streaming, netflix fell for a fifth day, extending

losses after crossed the threshold of a moving average. this is the longest losing streak since september. bottom.d back from the a note from jp morgan impacted tesla because of its inability to deliver 4000 model x suv's in one quarter. share price fell 1.5%. facebook shares were up one third of 1%. emily, back to you. , to the m-where. shares are declining after the company he cleared fourth-quarter earnings. ceo --so named a new cfo. it is part of a larger restructuring plan. vmware has been struggling to

find leadership after the acquisition of its parents company, emc. acquireounced it would vmware's emc. they will be combined and remain a publicly traded company. return, a turnaround plan, is it actually working? we will discuss.

>> shares of at&t dropping. despite double-digit revenue growth, seems to be losing

steam. only 500 26,000 monthly subscribers added this quarter. shares word down. finishheading to the line. spiking more than 20% after third-quarter earnings. pledging to fund its debt. whether job cuts and other cost saving measures will be enough to turn the company around. i am joined by jonathan chaplin and our managing technology manager. with you.i will start i listened in on the call today. savings indicate sprints turnaround plan is working? good signse some there. sprint is the most exciting name they stock coverage at

moment. it is either worth zero, or it is worth $10. what if you look at the assets, there is a treasure trove of spectrum there. it comes down to whether the management team can execute. if you look at the last three years, the trek rickard has not been great. been positive signs. this is a business that still has declining revenue. 7%. they are burning cash flow at a vicious rate. they started growing customers again last quarter. the for sign of a turnaround. based on the comments of the call, it looks like the growth and customer strength going into the next order. from there, if you can trace of forward to a turnaround in a revenue, that 0% scenario becomes less probable and the $10 scenario becomes more probable particularly given the

funding they put in place. spoke on the call this morning, i asked how they , say,sitioning for t-mobile is turning this into a price war. what is his strategy? he said, we're going to offer a great product at a good price. the biggest challenge we have is customer perception. they do not believe that and they do not believe in the quality of our product. is that true, jonathan? do they have the best prices? to network? the best jonathan: they definitely have the best prices. they have cut prices dramatically. expiresians are set to in the next couple weeks. we will see if they extend. to expireces are set in the next couple weeks. we will see if they extend.

it is the best network, in some cases the third best network. not nearly as far behind the others as it was. the question is, is a good enough at this price for customers to start switching over? it seems so. i think the story gets more interesting once they get through the next leg of spectrum deployment. they go into the spectrum they have not deployed the yet. they have started a new plan to get it out there. it is a complex undertaking. nobody has done that yet and this will get them to a point where they have more capacity and a faster network they and everybody else. emily: peter, what are the implications for soft bank? softbank has deepened its commitment to sprint but both stocks have been sinking.

>> they have been trading in parallel for a while. the chairman has talked about how telecom can alleviate loneliness and send this. the product is ambitious. they want to roll this out so people can have good coverage wherever they are. the goal is to be able to provide interconnected services. higher quality. the key point, they need to be able to finance those investments. so far, it has been challenging enough that they had a hard time. to get their financing in order and be able to do that will doubt, this quarter was a step in that direction. persuade need to consumers they do have a quality

whitman. i do not represent hp. emily: my question is, how long can the company remain independent? guests: it is independent in many ways. hp does not interfere. and compromises about 73% of our revenue. we are doing well. hp is supported of doing the right thing with the company. they do not interfere and ask us to make compromises. and most of our business comes from the u.s.. 75% from the u.s.. that is what we are. >> one of the big things this year is concern about jobs being outsourced to india and other countries. where do you stand? guest: this concept of jobs being outsourced is a thing of the past. what is happening is automation, artificial intelligence, robotics.
