coming up, netflix forecasting weaker subscriber growth. can international growth give them the boost it needs? plus, ibm revenue falls for the 16th straight quarter. we look for green shifts. 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 has bet its future for being able to bring the on-demand tv revolution to the whole world.

all of 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 covers bloomberg in l.a., our editor at large, cory johnson, and eric hippeau, a partner at lerer hippeau ventures. cory, subscriber numbers from last quarter were pretty good.

it is the forecast that does not look good. what are the big themes? cory: 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 disappointment in only 2 million 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 nevins, 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. emily: lucas, you know david nevins 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 out on the call, 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. for the most part, they are only 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. before, 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. by the same token, netflix 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. they had one 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 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. cory, i 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. the same question here in a way that we are asking about netflix. when will we see these investments that ibm is making hit the bottom line? cory: $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 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, cisco, oracle's sun business, dell, 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. emily: anarag rana, cory, thanks for holding there. we will take you through the twists and turns as the legacy internet up and he waits for preliminary bids to roll in. ♪

emily: verizon is said to be moving toward an offer when an 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? verizon, yp, potentially "the daily mail." >> i think verizon is in a better 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. these 40 other names, i never 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. yp is an old legacy business. 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. it's a complicated asset to throw into the mix because of tax implications and ownership implications. what we will see happening today and tomorrow is probably a moving target. there are probably some other hard 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. emily: we are watching yahoo! 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 bid and what 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 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, arianna huffington 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." >> verizon has decided, and that 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." >> the synergies with verizon

have huge distribution potential. we're moving more and more into video. we have mobile video play, and have produced and paid for great content from many providers. this is fantastic for "huffpo" 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 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. i feel that marissa is a working mother who chose to run yahoo! 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 sachs, and 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 arianna huffington on "studio 1.0." a developing investigation, theranos is under investigation by the fcc. caroline, what is it that you know? it looks like we are having technical difficulties. can you here me? >> i can hear you. emily: what is the latest that we know? >> right now, we have just seen a document from theranos, where they told us they are informing their business partners of a number of investigations, some of which are new to us, including investigations by the fcc and the attorney general's office in northern california.

emily: how does this ramp up what we were speaking about with regard to cms? is this a separate story? >> it is a separate story. they are different investigations. we did not know previously about the fcc investigation. this is more scrutiny on theranos. the company says they have been complying so far. it had just asked to see documents and the company is cooperating. emily: 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 company udacity launches in china. my interview with the founder later this hour. if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio.

you interviewed him many times over the years, what was he like? >> i think he probably would have spent in discussed as if there were something profane about this discussion. he was a behind-the-scenes operator. he never sought the limelight. he was gregarious, delightfully profane, and insightful. he did not seem to know much about technology, the bits and the bytes, but he was insightful about organizations and people. that is why so many executives and investors used him as a resource about how to structure their companies and deal with interpersonal issues. emily: bill campbell, our close friend died this morning. he helped build google and in countless ways made our success possible.

tim cook tweeting, bill campbell believed in apple when few people did. he also gave a eulogy at a memorial service for steve jobs on apple's campus. he talks about scott forestall an apple. listen to what he has to say. >> scott forestall was demoing the new phone. he was demonstrating siri. scott did it a couple of times, and steve was across the room and said, let me have that phone. scott said, be careful now, i have this pretty much attuned to my voice. give me the phone! scott goes around and hands him the phone, steve asks a couple benign questions and says, are you a man, or a woman, and siri says, they have not assigned me a gender, sir. [laughter] emily: he was on the board for many years.

how did he become involved in the company? he was like an invisible hand at companies that competed with each other. >> google and apple went to war, and somehow he continued to advise both companies. twitter and facebook, venture capital firms. it is probably because he was not involved in product or strategy. he operated as a kind of industry psychologist or organizational psychologist. he was a people person.

he was magnetic. i think about a leader in war. somebody who could lead people and you wanted to listen. emily: until recently, he was very actively on company boards. flipboard's jon deor resurvey told us he was invited to become chairman of -- which he decided to do. is or anyone else in silicon valley who is a next duration bill campbell or andy grove that is filling this roll? >> i think he was one-of-a-kind. can look to folks like ben horowitz or peter thiel. in terms of somebody who was reeling to advise such a range of entrepreneurs and companies, sometimes on different sides of the aisle, and remain friends, inspiring to everybody -- i don't think he will be replaced. emily: i know that you interviewed him for your book, and he had some thoughts on jeff bezos. >> people think that campbell was one who advised jeff bezos, but that's not really true. the board of directors sent bill campbell to basically fire jeff bezos and bezos basically told him to go away and did not see the magic. but bill campbell said, this guy was hoping special and they

students are. it scared him. do you think that china has the power to surpass silicon valley when it comes to innovation and building great companies? >> i have a sweet spot for silicon valley because all the crazy innovators in the world eventually find their way to silicon valley. there is so much brainpower in china that is underutilized. it is such a new country, so to speak, going from the 1960's and 1970's, when you can get good income and have a growing middle class. they will be amazing people in china as well and we have to find them and train them. emily: you work with companies like google and facebook. facebook is blocked in china, google country. might the chinese government have a problem? >> we are exclusively focused on giving people tech skills. we don't take any commentary or the political history.

has a 99 point 7% chance of experiencing a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years. that is known as the big one. the pacific northwest has a 10% chance of a 8.0 or 9.0 mega earthquake. this is called the really big one. it is the catastrophe that seismologists have been predicting for this zone. the area of impact will cover 140,000 square miles including seattle, tacoma, portland, salem. the last known major earthquake was 130 years ago and created a new western coastline. you could say that we are overdue. the really big one was a title of the new yorker piece about this big earthquake that could

be coming to the northwest which just won a pulitzer prize. here in california, how well prepared california is if another earthquake like the one that hit in 1906 hits here. joining me now, glenn palmeroy. thank you for joining us. first of all, that story about the earthquake in the pacific northwest, it scared just about everyone. 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 fact which is that fault is 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. the problem is, think we are 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. i wonder, 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. put debt on top of debt, or 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? >> there have been a lot of improvements over the last decades. building codes are far safer than they were 110 years ago, for example. but what they say about earthquakes, when you have seen one earthquake, you have seen one earthquake. everyone is different and they all happen when you least expect it. the science has advanced, we know a lot more about what probabilities are, but you cannot say for certain.

we don't need to live in fear, we just need to do whatever we can to be prepared. emily: is there any research on the big one? >> scientists say to a 99.9% probability that a big one of 6.7 or greater is coming sometime in the next 30 years. it is pretty near certainty that it will happen soon. it could be this afternoon or years from now. emily: thank you so much for stopping by. now, time to find out who is having not the best, but today it is the worst day ever. netflix. shares are plunging in after-hours trading after the company reported weaker subscriber growth, especially internationally. ibm is also down after-hours. tuesday, we will hear from yahoo! and intel. thursday we have microsoft and
