first, to our lead. netflix shares plunging in after-hours trading after forecasting weaker subscriber growth this quarter, especially in new or markets outside the u.s.. they expect to add 2 million international customers. that's important because netflix for beings future able to bring the on-demand tv revolution to the whole world. this overshadowing first-quarter results. >> hulu is doing some great work, amazon is, hbo, showtime. there are so many competitors

and everyone is working hard to build the best content. we are seeing growth in the overall tv market, that is displacing linear tv. it is natural that everyone is coming in as they realize that the future is internet tv. emily: joining us for a full breakdown is lucas shaw who ourrs bloomberg and l.a., editor at large, cory johnson, and our partner from hippo adventures. corey, subscriber numbers from last quarter were pretty good. it is the forecast that does not look good. what are the big themes? y: the forecast is so important because netflix grandfathered in a lot of their old customers and said they will not do that this time. we do not know what the effect will be on their customers. growth of only 500,000 new customers predicted for next

quarter, combined with that millionntment in only 2 being added internationally suggests a slower growth rate. the question is, how big can this business be? the suggestion perhaps is that netflix is getting closer to how big it is going to be. the reason that is a problem for netflix is that they are contracted to buy so much content, their costs are staying high, they need more customers. if they cannot add more customers, they will face serious problems honoring the commitments they made already. emily: i was speaking to david nevin, who competes with netflix, and i asked him what is netflix's biggest threat? look what he had to say. >> at some point they have to start making earnings. emily: is the original programming going to pay off? >> they have to grow a lot of

subs to justify that amount of programming spend. they are racing the clock. you know david nevin's well, at what point do we know if it was worth it? >> we should start to know early next year. reed hastings has said that netflix will deliver material profits starting in 2017. there are profitable in the u.s., but if the growth does not keep up overseas, or if currency markets hurt them, we might not to the profits next year that they had forecasted. one thing that i thought was interesting that they pointed and one reason, why the growth outside the u.s. might not be as fast as people want, that they expanded to 130 new countries in january. onlyhe most part, they are appealing to people who can speak english and have international credit cards, which means they cannot add on

most of the local speakers. emily: just in time for netflix's earnings call, amazon decides to announce a standalone video service. be, an amazond to prime number -- you had to be an amazon prime member, now it only costs a few dollars more to do the whole shebang. how does this change the competitive landscape for netflix? >> netflix is the target for everybody, including people who come from linear tv, like showtime which is an offshoot of cbs. they have been here the longest, they have established the model and will be the target. netflixame token, should have many of cards to play. we just mentioned internationally that they only appeal to people who speak english. they could add local content. in the united states, they could take pages from linear tv.

they could start doing live television or news. they could tier the programming overtime. they have this ability to target what people watch. there is a lot that they can do to grow. by no means do i think they have reached the end. emily: netflix has said they are in talks to break into china. how realistic is it? >> they have said almost nothing. line in their letter to shareholders today that said they are in discussions and have no material update. it is pretty much the same line they have had for a euro or two -- for a year or two. anytime i have had the chance to ask reed hastings or anyone, they have nothing to say. that is typically a bad sign. you heard on the call today when asked about off-line viewing that reed hastings has said that

is something they would have to consider when previously they said they would not. there would be some change in the language about china if there were progress. emily: that is a story to continue to watch. thanks a much eric hippeau. want to speak with you about ibm. big blue shares of dipping after-hours after releasing first-quarter results. the 16th quarter of revenue decline in a row. it is a company in transition having away from its software businesses with new growth and data analytics, cloud, and security. what is next for big blue? cory, i will start with you. waysame question here in a that we are asking about netflix. when will we see these investments that ibm is making hit the bottom line? co: $10 billion in investments

in the last couple years in acquisitions. throw in the 0% 17 quarters ago and you have no growth for 17 quarters in the top line. they said they would be focusing on more profitable as mrs., but we are not -- profitable businesses, but we are not seeing that come to fruition. they have stopped their old form of delineating the different business units. we do not know how this compares to the last because they did not give us the numbers. they have a completely different structure. as a result, they want to start over and they will get that chance. the 5% decline looks a little better, but they had some currency conditions. the dollar is a little bit weaker. the strong dollar they had been complaining about was not as much of a problem. but this shows you what a tough

business, not just ibm, but throw in hewlett-packard, cics sco, oracle's sun business, d ell, we can see all of those businesses struggling. emily: i mentioned earlier that we would talk about the green shoots in ibm's business. where do you see bright spots? >> you are seeing cloud business up 36% in constant currency. analytics, security. all of that is taking place. we have been talking about this for several quarters. this portion is smaller than the legacy business. it will be a few years before you start seeing revenue growth and catch up to the decline. anarag rana, cory,

emily: verizon is said to be fer when anrd an of unexpected player is jumping into the ring. in the meantime, many companies who are reportedly interested have decided to pass. here to break it all down is my guest host eric hippeau, as well as anthony, who covers yahoo!.

instantly, today is a deadline, but as far as we know, yahoo! would still accept a bid tomorrow. what do you make of the field of potential players? yp,zon, white the, -- potentially "the daily mail." >> i think verizon is in a poor position to acquire those assets. they could combine it with aol and create a mobile advertising juggernaut that could compete with the googles and the facebooks of the world. i think verizon is in the best position. i never other names, thought that the vast majority would stick around and make a bid, which is why last week i came out with a note and essentially said that i thought mid single digits was about the bidders i expected for yahoo! this week. emily: eric, you are in an

interesting position. you were an early investor in yahoo!, the former owner of," "the huffington post,"," owned by verizon. depending on how you value yahoo!'s core business and the fact that they would try to do this depending on the -- kind of like a reverse merger. >> i don't know what to think of it. business.ld legacy it seems to be very small am a about $1 billion in revenues. about $1.5 billion in market cap. it seems like an unlikely candidate to buy yahoo! emily: what about the yahoo! japan part of the story? is there a chance that that part of the company could end up in a bidding war? >> it could, but i think it is unlikely. tos a complicated asset

throw into the mix because of tax implications and ownership implications. what we will see happening today and tomorrow is probably a m oving target. probably some other --d assets like emily: is it about what will appease the starboard investors, what will avoid a proxy war, or is it about melissa myers trying to keep her job? >> i think it could be all of them, but at the end of the day you have to please the shareholders. given their failed attempt to spin off alibaba shares, i think the board has the responsibility to shareholders. that is the best way to reward your holders, the best way to create value in the stock. i expect them to sell the entire

asset as a whole. yahoo!we are watching earnings on tuesday and there is a big yahoo! shareholder meeting coming in june. eric, how do you expect this to play out? >> i am a little confused. the reports were that there were reluctant to give open information to the bidders. that there was a whole process that was muddled and confusing. i think that probably scared a few people away. i don't know that the private equity guys could make a good decision in terms of what to price to put on it. expectations are that revenue will come down again. without full cooperation on the part of management, the board, and the company, it would be

very hard, if you are a future bitter looking at cash flows, it would be very difficult to make a good decision. emily: and some people are looking at a reverse morris trust, which is a tax-free merger. that would send -- certainly be an interesting turn of events. thank you so much for joining us. eric hippeau, you are sticking with me. we will be staying with this yahoo! conversation. up next, areata huffington on marissa mayer's -- arianna on marissa mayer's leadership. ♪

emily: in this week's edition of "studio 1.0," i sit down with arianna huffington, editor of "the huffington post."

we talk verizon and whether she believes the telecom giant has a long-term strategy that includes yahoo! and "the huffington post." and thatn has decided, is why they want "the huffington post," that the future for them has to include a very fast media technology company. so, yahoo! would fit very well in the strategy. there is competition with softbank and maybe google. we will see what happens. emily: what are the synergies that you see with verizon and "the huffington post." verizonynergies with have huge distribution potential. we're moving more and more into video. have mobile video play, and have produced and paid for great

content from many providers. "huffpo"antastic for because it gives great distribution. emily: what do you think of the wireless company getting into content? it is an interesting new world. >> i think it is a smart move because the world is changing. it is really the animator's did -- innovator's dilemma. if you do not change fast enough, then it is too late to change. in a sense, if the new york times had changed early enough when it came to digital technology, there would be no room for the huffington post. emily: there has been such intense scrutiny on marissa mayer's's leadership, do you sympathize with her? >> absolutely.

marissa is a working yahoo!who chose rto run a certain way. at the moment, clearly shareholders are not happy with the way it has been run. emily: do you think that yahoo! could be revitalized with new leadership? >> i think that one of the great advantages of yahoo! is that it is a hybrid. it is a journalistic enterprise, and it is a platform. it owns tumblr. i think tumblr is an incredible asset. as more people want to express themselves in 140 characters, and you have an incredible opportunity to use tumblr to allow people to express their

views and use it as a native advertising play, we see that this is, for us, one of the most important monetization channels. our relationship with goldman a mattress company, they create intersections that are for me one of the most evolved forms of native advertising. emily: would you like to see yahoo! at verizon? >> absolutely. it provides us a bigger playground. emily: my interview there with every on a huffington on "-- on arianna huffington on "studio 1.0." a developing investigation, seranos is under investigation by the -- theranos

documents and the company is cooperating. some serious allegations being leveled at theranos. i know this is something that you will continue to follow, and we will bring you new developments as we have them. coming up, the online education udacityyou density -- launches in china. my interview with the founder later this hour. if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio. ♪

do you believe that is true? >> the story was a powerful piece because it was written in a way that we could all understand. it wasn't scientific jargon, it was just present in matters of ist whichis that fault going to go again someday, and when it does, it will produce tremendous damage along the northern and western coast. tsunamis are the big risk their. in southern california, it is more shake damage we need to be concerned about. emily: so it is a near certainty that in the next 30 years, we will see a next major quake. if the one from 1906 happend now, how bad with the damage be? >> it would be really bad. it was 7.9. we would have strong shaking from the northern part of the state all the way to the south. some 2 million homes would experience strong shaking.

250,000 of those homes would be displaced. we estimate that the damages caused would be about $175 billion, and that's just to residents. emily: $175 billion. does that mean that california residences and buildings are not prepared? >> we have made a lot of progress in preparedness. when earthquakes occur, we make other leaps forward. think we ares, adequately prepared to rebuild following the earthquake. it takes earthquake insurance. without earthquake insurance, there is no protection for a homeowner. it is specifically excluded in the homeowners policy. after the northridge earthquake, the state of california created this nonprofit insurance company to insure homes in california, and our mission is to make

coverage available and get as many homes protected before the ground starts to shake. emily: so you work for a company focused on getting people insured. how important is earthquake insurance? you say 50% of residences have it. what about businesses? >> our focus is on homes. basically only 10-15% have it. the rest will be on their own and have to figure out other ways to recover. debt, or on top of hope from a small financial grant from the federal government to take her of life and safety needs. we believe that the amount of protection for businesses is about the same as it is for homes. here, we have a lot of work to do to get in place the ability to survive economically. emily: what about in terms of infrastructure? what more should the state be doing? if things are so great, why would there be this much damage?
