"bloomberg technology," is next. ♪ emily: -- caroline: i'm caroline hyde from london in for emily chang. this is "bloomberg technology." up, big blue's for ibm. revenue dropped for the 23rd straight quarter. we break down their losing streak as investors lose patience. plus, the annual meeting of the minds as leaders in tech converge on colorado to share ideas on cybersecurity, ai, and the future of work. we are lives in aspen.
5:02 pm
reruns that digital eyewear with a new focus. we get an upgrade to the google glass and how the corporate version resonates with users. first to our lead, it is a hit and a miss for ibm. while earnings for shares are dropping after-hours after the tech giant came out with revenues that fell short. sales in the cloud platforms, as a key new area, but declined. its the 21st consecutive quarter that sales declined year-over-year. is our us from new york bloomberg intelligence reporter. this is painful when you are digging into revenue, because you are seeing year upon year of negative revenue. -5% in the second quarter. we can't see growth all the way out until 2018.
5:03 pm
this is difficult for ginni rometty. reporter: it is definitely a sore report -- sore point for investors.the companies have been transforming businesses to rely more on emerging technique is best technologies, whether it is cloud, ai, analytics. those usually do well for ibm, but it is legacy products that pull down the total sales. caroline: how did the so-called strategic imperative do? that is where the focus of growth is. why did we see the decline in sales, and particular in the ai unit? reporter: and quarter after quarter, you could see some lumpiness based on large contracts, one quarter of a -- or the other. the general trend is still the same. cloud business grew about 30%.
5:04 pm
overall, the message is still the same that when you come to legacy products, it is still undergoing a massive change where clients areoverall, sayinu have been working with us for quite some time. now we want to change the portfolio of products we want to buy. when you buy those products are selling the products, you have a lot more competition, whether it is amazon, microsoft, or google. there's a new set of competitors. caroline: and investors do seem to be getting frustrated. i'm looking at a chart on the bloomberg function. even see how much ibm has underperformed in the nasdaq this year alone. we saw the likes of warren buffett cutting his stakes in ibm. are more investors not willing to wait for this turnaround? even though, as you say, it is
5:05 pm
coming. reporter: one of the things we look into is that when you look at the growth story, i think everybody understands it will take time for growth to come back. is mores margin story interesting. last quarter we saw decline in almost every division. they have slightly exceeded analyst estimates on gross margins, but the question is, do we get rebound in profitability in the second half as the investments pay off? that is the big message. not so much focusing on the top line. we know it will take a few quarters for that to reverse itself. caroline: where do you stand on forecasts? they need in that the second half to have one of the highest earnings second halves in the last 20 years for ibm, if they are going to make the company's forecast. has they managed to reassess where they might meet that? one, they haveis
5:06 pm
maintained guidance for the full call,n the conference which should have started now. they will give a little more detail as to how they expect margins to improve. for example in the systems division, there's a new product cycle that would come in the second half that should help margins. the mna's signature, and should should much her. there are several factors that could help offset the pressures in the first half, but there are still a lot of structural issues in the company. that's the main point, whether they can overcome that in the second half. as you mentioned the competition, they are up against amazon, microsoft, who is made big changes to focus on ai. we heard -- who is really cleaning up at the moment? who is ahead of the game when it comes to ai, ciber, the areas ibm is pushing into? reporter: ibm is targeting more the enterprise a ice base.
5:07 pm
they had -- ai space. they had an advantage of being the first to move into it. but every of their big company is giving people tools to build those products themselves internally. product, theser are not stand-alone products you can sell and start making money off of. it will be included part and parcel with everything they sell.as they develop with insurance, with banking, it is that combination that will drive additional sales for ibm. caroline: and for now, investors wait. after-hours trading, down 2% on ivy on stock -- ibm stock. another stock we are watching, toshiba. it surged so most in five months after david einhorn had a position in the struggling company. the hedge funds that is wagering toshiba shares will rise.

the nasdaq is recovered from the recent tech fall back to close at a new all-time high. as we head into earnings season, the current value of big tech stocks are being called into question. that's go to abigail doolittle in new york. you've got it all for us. talk us through these moves. reporter: it's a pretty remarkable session. finished --her and an all-time high, the first time we've seen that since june 9.the reason the tech pullback was the we are notpullback, quite sure what has behind that, but it seems investors have more confidence in this highflying sector. to your point about highflying valuation, valuation is pretty high. #btvn take a look at g
5:13 pm
5201. this shows what we are looking at relative to valuations.long-term pe of the s&p 500 tech index. we see that in the bubble of 1999, 2000, skyhigh. now right above the multi-year high at 19 times, some investors say that is relatively rich, highest since 2009 when stocks were covering and prices were high, and earnings relatively low. the question is, are the earnings too high? especially for chips, it is that closer to 25 times pe. amd, which has been up in a huge way over the last year, it cannot be measured on a price-to-earnings basis, because the e is not there. it will be interesting to see whether or not investors
5:14 pm
continue to believe the valuation is worth it. from a performance standpoint, we do have proved today from netflix that they -- the performance is in the pudding, to some degree. they put up a tremendous second quarter, beating subscriber that 61%.ts it will be interesting to see whether it plays out with other tech companies. caroline: netflix's high -- netflix is price-to-earnings, 223 times, quite phenomenal. clearly some match anticipation baked into that stock. into thech down-and-out ipo's we have seen over the course of the past few months. reporter: it is pretty amazing to see the carnage of two in particular, snap and blue apron, both down, well above the ipo prices. blue apron down more than 30% from its ipo price, snap below
5:15 pm
$15. that ipo is $17. snap had initially been hyped buying -- highflying, a lot of enthusiasm. labor and ash blew a brain being pressured from a lot of fronts, including the fact that amazon just filed a patent for competing meal delivery prep kit. the question is what is next for some of those ipo's? back into the bloomberg, we have a chart that shows this is typical. #btv 2669. if you can believe it after facebook went public, shares were down more than 50%. now they are skyhigh. look over to the right. the orange line is the nosedive of blue apron. in purple, that is snap. however, both square and facebook have managed to recover. twitter in blue, not so much.
5:16 pm
andquestion is, is snap blue apron closer to twitter or more along the lines of square,? facebook is in a league of its own, i have to say.

caroline: now the 14 brainstorm tech conference is well underway in aspen, colorado. the event brings together global leaders in the digital world to discuss ways companies are preparing for the future. we will send it out to emily chang, at the event was mark. emily, take it away. we are having a few technical difficulties. it happens on a tech showed sometimes. i know she has been getting some great sound from key topics. a big key topic has been the , has of cybersecurity major hacking attacks continue to happen around the world, not to mention the investigation of russian meddling in the u.s. election continuing to dominate headlines. earlier, emily chang spoke with someone with expert knowledge of
5:20 pm
the suspect, retired former director general of the nsa, keith alexander. we talked about the boldness of russia hackers in the u.s. election. >> it points out not just that it's we didn't but they were not prepared to defend. if you left a bag of money on a park bench, then you're surprised somebody stole it, you would say, secure your money. i think that gets us to secure your network. we should not be public with this. we have to make changes in cybersecurity. it's important to point out it can't he done by industry itself. it has to be industry government ownership -- partnership. actually, it think this is an area the trump administration has taken on. i think it's important government and industry work together for a defensive architecture that can block these things in the future.
5:21 pm
actually, whether blatant or not, we shouldn't be faced with them. we shouldn't have people losing intellectual property to low-profile hackers. emily: what is your impression of whether or not the trump administration is taking these threats seriously enough? >> on cybersecurity, i have met twice with the president. both meetings have been great. he asked all the right questions. he pointed to his administration officials to help. he said, what do you need from me? i think he takes it serious. he understands this threat. he has tom bossert as a lead. he's amazing. i think what they are doing is trying to put this in the right place. i am optimistic that the government will move forward. i think we as an industry need that. there's so much you can do as a cybersecurity company, but for sectors in the nation it takes the government to weigh in.
5:22 pm
i think we will get there. think of it as an air defense network over the country. if we had everybody defending each state with their own defense system are each company with their own system, that would not be a viable defensive infrastructure. we have to change that. emily: we understand you've been advising the administration.what kind of advice are you giving them? >> great advice. it's always been great. just along those lines. we have to work together. i think the interesting part is my experience in the financial sector and in the energy, they are willing to pay and do what it takes to get them secure. great across the board. ceos have been great to work with. cybersecurity teams in the financial and energy sector are doing great work. link is, when they
5:23 pm
are being attacked, who do you call? we have incident response, but no way to block the attack. now if you jump forward to the election, and they are being hacked, who do you call? it is always after the fact that you need to have a way of defending it at network speed. that takes industry and government work together. emily: if president trump is taking this issue seriously, then why hasn't he publicly acknowledged russia's hacking of the election? >> i think that is a more strategic question. that gets back to, what do you want to do with russia, and how does the administration work with russia in the future? do you poke them in the eye or talk to them quietly on the site? is tomments i would do say publicly, i'm not going to make this harder than i need to.
5:24 pm
how do i privately engage putin and the russian government to get to the right place? we don't want to create another cold war. we don't want a war. we have to have some kind of partnership with russia. remember, 40 years in the military, russia was always the adversary. at the same time, we have to be conscious. it's like that movie where you are looking up at them, but you have to figure out in the middle east and other areas how do we work with and not against them. i think every administration, the obama administration, the bush administration, now the trump administration is trying to say the same thing. got to give this administration time to work it out. what that means is don't poke them yet. emily: that said, you've got all the u.s. intelligence agencies saying this happened, and it
5:25 pm
seems like president trump is at odds with his own intelligence agencies. >> really what he's doing is giving himself the ability to deal. when you are a ceo and you want a strategic deal, you let your people do certain things and you leave yourself enough room to negotiate. i don't know specifically on these. i have not asked on the russia stuff. i'm giving you my best thoughts. but my experience with cybersecurity and dealing with him, he's very thoughtful. i thought he was well read. he knew all the facts. he had read everything. as you would see a ceo. i expect on russia he's doing the same thing. and the question for our country, i think that we've got to ask, strategically, where do we want to be with russia and china? caroline: that was the former director of the nsa and ceo of network security, keith alexander.
5:26 pm

until we see what the changes, we can't really comment. but google has been a great partner for us. we have done a lot of good work in the past and we hope to continue to have a great commendation in the future. is there emily: a next -- emily: is there anything for priceline -- we don't know >> what the changes and away google operates, how they will be. the changes in the past have been advantageous to us because we have been able to talk quickly. technology people are able to take advantage. we are able to get new things out very rapidly. it's one of the benefits of scale. we can afford all these people to be able to do this. youou are a small player, don't have the luxury of having those people around to do that thing and make sure it is an advantage for you.
5:45 pm
emily: meantime, the hotel industry is mounting a campaign claiming that priceline and expedia are monopolistic. what's your response? >> first, let's be careful, that is the lobbying group saying that. i read very nice things from some of the ceos. i'm not sure were that came from -- where that came from. i'd like to make the point that right now we only book a single digit percentage of the total number of hotel rooms and on our system. single digit percentage of the total inventory. that is a very small number. i think that says that i have to disagree with people who are saying we have some sort of large market share. i think they should look at the statistics. emily: airbnb is looking to expand into travel booking. how worried are you about airbnb as a competitor? >> i want to make sure we are always on the cutting edge and making sure we can do things better. we came from behind. when we started out, we were
5:46 pm
small. in europe, our biggest customer, booking.com, nobody had ever heard of it. we are used to undercutting bigger people. i am aware of people much smaller than us who are coming up quickly. that's why we are spending so much time, energy, and money building out our own home, apartments, and product. we have over 700,000 properties on our system. people aren't as aware in america about this, but we will actively make that happen. i believe the needle to see both that type of home apartment and hotels in the same search -- i'm going to iceland with my family month. when i looked, i wasn't sure what i. wanted do we want an apartment or hotel -- i wasn't sure what i wanted. do we want an apartment or hotel? i looked online, it was instantly bookable. a lot of people do this but it

is not instantly bookable. 100% of our stuff is in the -- instantly bookable. when i press, i'm done. our goal is to get rid of the friction. emily: when you say you will actively make that happen, what does it mean? >> a means we have people out there getting more inventory. over 700,000 properties. we want a lot more of every type. it means making sure some kind of marketing, no matter how it is, but when you think that i need a condo to do skiing in aspen or maybe a place on the beach, i want you to think booking.com. that's what i want. a chinese online travel giant makes it clear that they want to expand. competition?

that's important for the united states, for us to have good and functional, open, free, and fair trade agreements. that we need to get those in place. the more that we just talk about it and not take action, the more opportunity we are creating for our competitors. emily: if trade is one, what are your other big concern? >> is not so much the trump administration. how do we have a competitive america? we need to deal with trade. we also need to have tax reform so that companies can be competitive. we need to be investing more in infrastructure. both digital infrastructure and physical infrastructure. frankly, comprehensive immigration reform is both immoral and an economic opportunity that we are letting lang right now. i think creating greater aportunity is one part of
