for new hampshire, bernie sanders has a lead, maybe as much as seven or eight points. you have to be careful in new hampshire, there can be late, breaking developments. then you have amy klobuchar around 11 points. we know that joe biden just left the state. i have to say, overall, i would say there is kind of a subdued tone. we'll see what the voter turnout will be. taylor: this question is not a joke. when does joe biden dropout in your opinion? leadingnot seem to be in any of the recent polls. david: he is not. he is leading in south carolina and he is basically ahead in nevada. he says he appeals to a broader

range of americans that iowa and new hampshire. he thinks he will do better in south carolina and nevada. he thinks that is important. your point, he is running out of money. when you get into super tuesday, money counts for a good deal. paul: the firewall you budget, is it as strong as they say? there is some evidence that african-american support seems to be dropping for joe biden. david: the question is, can he turn that around? maybe that is why he decided to get out of town early and head to south carolina. it certainly is quite a dramatic turnaround. this is the man lead in the national polls from the beginning and he was number one consistently up until the last

few days. do need to discuss mike bloomberg, was of course the founder and majority owner of companyg lp, the parent of bloomberg news. he may be able to debate in nevada. david: the rules were changed so it takes four nationally recognized polls. mike bloomberg has three of those at needs one more to qualify for the next debate. mike bloomberg, he has the money. he had tom steyer consult fund. and let's be clear, from the beginning, he said his strategy was to skip iowa and new hampshire and really target on super tuesday where there are so many delegates available.

islor: ride-hailing app lyft out with fourth-quarter results narrowly beating estimates. the stock falling about 4% in after-hours trading for not promising profits sooner. we are joined by eric newcomer. i think the headline here is

that the profit target remains firmly in the fourth quarter of 2021. uber'syear later than target. --c: over has the advantage uber at the advantage of having earnings first. we are talking about adjusted profitability. cuts out a lot of things. is still growing impressively. i think it was something like 50% of the got to a billion dollars in revenue. they have this advantage of being smaller. time.as had in particular is

focused on business customers. it seems like lyft does not want to commit to the same timeline. scarlet: the profitability target -- taylor: the profitability targets, justin , to analysts care that it is supposed to be ebitda probability? >> at some point, it is shocking . was somethingt like 4 billion. uber is a company that loses a lot of money. the reason why we focus on these adjusted ebitda numbers, it allows analysts to get their head around how the company makes money.

that is sort of the framework that the markets are paying attention to. there have been huge stock expenses and other expenses. here part of the problem is that they are simply getting saturated. you can't start getting consumers to take more rides. ofc: lyft has the advantage growing into a market that is bigger than the company. you are still seeing it grow into new active riders. uber, you heard them over and over again say they were going to use the law of large numbers. has gone intor food and other industries in a way that lyft has not. lyft has been focused.

for the time being, it seems that they need to show they can run a profitable ride-hailing business. paul: how about on the cost side? lyft already said it would cut 90 jobs. is this the start? matter,rporate jobs certainly symbolically, but at the end of the day, the story here is price competition, how groundd lyft gain relative to each other. that is why i think the stocks have been so related to each other. there has been a price war going on. that q1 wouldaid be sort of peak loss. if subsidies come down, what is the market for ride-hailing?

paul: this is bloomberg markets. i'm paul allen in sydney with taylor riggs in san francisco. let's get a check of first word news. ritika: the coronavirus outbreak is set to cost china billions of dollars. reports say it may have led to losses in retail and food sectors stretching into the billions, including losses of 80% over the lunar new year, representing as much as 220 billion dollars, as outlets were shot across the country. hong kong has suspended all cross-border land transport between the airport and mainland

china until further notice to try to stem the impact of the coronavirus. the decision comes as governments take action to restrict travel and other cross-border links, with virus deaths topping 1000 on showing few signs of slowing. hong kong has already imposed quarantine curbs on mainland travelers. bernie sanders opens a commanding lead in the democratic presidential race, head of former vice president joe biden. ahead of today's new hampshire primary, the monmouth university poll gives him a 10% lead, with support of more than 25% of democrats nationally, with biden slightly ahead of pete buttigieg and elizabeth warren, the survey is in line with other surveys. facingive financier is more charges related to the 1mdb scandals. he is accused of a criminal conspiracy with the former malaysian prime minister. in an inquiry into potential losses of billions of dollars

yvonne: the company says there is no reason to believe there are any coronavirus cases on board, this goes to show the stepping governments up protocols here, and the struggle they have in terms of containing this virus. most people think of the diamond princess, where 135 people tested positive for this disease, but when it comes to the holland america line, they are running out of options. experts say they may be forced to wait until the vessel basically goes into distress, when they run out of food and supplies, before these laws of the sea conventions kick in, and basically the country closest to the vessel will be legally obliged to provide help. we saw arrays of hope for the who, saying they could be sending health officials unborn to check passengers soon. saying, whens also it comes to the quarantine on

these cruise ships, as we have seen several cases already, that they could actually present issues when it comes to the in particular, so they are exploring the safest option at this point. paul: yvonne, the pace of new cases seems to be slowing, but all of this is going to take a long time to work its way through the supply change -- supply chain a. what is the latest on the corporate fallout? yvonne: we heard from airbus resuming production at its factory in shenzhen, but airlines continuing to suspend china, to hong kong and american airlines suspending u.s. flights to shanghai and beijing in los angeles to hong kong until april 24, so a month longer than planned. the airline said it was due to decline in demand. dallas to hong kong will also resume around that same time, but that is two months longer than expected on that route.

will be a little larger as well in terms of what they are allowing local governments to raise in the bond markets. of bond of 120 -- the bond 122 billion u.s. dollars, the risk is made up of things like special-purpose bonds, which essentially goes to infrastructure spending, health industries, what have you. the reaction from economists at bloomberg economics is actually that it reinforces the already cemented street view that support will come in the form of fiscal measures aided by monetary policy. what that might lead to is a wider deficit. they are talking about 3% of gdp for 2020. interestingly, it also indicates the fact that they have now come out with a budget, that the npc, national people's congress, where they lay out growth targets, usually held around early or mid march, might actually be delayed.

that is accorded to bloomberg economics again. in which case though, they say it will not delay stimulus measures being put in place. in terms of markets, the moving average, i think the chart shows that, turnover has been exceptionally high as people are stuck at home. that is prompting retail investments to come back into these markets. back to you. taylor: thank you to bloomberg's david ingles. coming up, breaking up big tech. u.s. regulators demand companies turnover data on acquisitions both big and small. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

♪ paul: you are watching "bloomberg markets." on u.s.ok at the action markets, let's get to

bloomberg's su keenan in new york. su: the news from the fcc that they are going to look at acquisitions from big tech companies threw cold water on market action. we saw the market managed to regroup and close higher, but look at big movers, facebook and microsoft to hard by the realization you have the government asking for information. defeat health care came in with strong earnings, analysts taking targets up, in line with a lot of gains on health care, one of the stronger groups. t-mobile, a big victory in court, defeating the final hurdle, the final lawsuit to their multibillion-dollar merger with sprint. and check out sprint, surging 77% and softbank, parent company, a big winner because if this hurdle had not and mounted, softbank may have had to bail sprint out. andr market action, lyft

among the companies. joining us now is michael levine. you cover alphabet, amazon and facebook. who in your opinion is more at risk from the ftc announcement? michael: facebook for the top of the list, and i am looking that -- at that in conjunction with hearing they were going to seek an injunction to the end of last year, trying to stop facebook from tying together different messaging platforms. if you think about, were that to a note aboutwe had this at the end of the year, a lot more revenue than people appreciate. would: what acquisitions we be talking about and facebook's case, whatsapp, instagram? michael: i think that is it, whatsapp and instagram. those other ones. taylor: what are the implications, a threat from the

ftc is one thing, antitrust action and a real breakup is another. what are the odds of real action? achael: even if they bring case, it would take years in the courts. moreook, we have gotten negative on the stock on the basis of fundamental work we have been doing combined with a disappointing q4 and outlook for the year. it has been one of the things that has kept us on the sidelines with regards to multiple, and i think we will continue to act on that. if we are right on the fundamentals, you will see the multiple conceivably be driven even lower. paul: is it possible there is simply nothing to see here? regulatory risk come with the territory of tech investing? michael: i think there is something to see. there is pretty clear dominance within the social space.

one of the things that has been so remarkable about facebook is this ability to leverage data across different platforms. mostprobably are the monopolistic by way of comparison. -- to yourr point earlier point, we are positive on google, i don't want to brush under the covers that you could conceivably have issues around the double-click unit, but we are reading between the lines and you such after a couple of weeks ago suggesting that might opinion, as ar means of appeasing the regulators, conceivably when they spin off double-click, which we think would be a pretty big win. paul: other significant pressures are coming down the line for facebook, particularly in terms of google's decision to block third-party cookies. michael: that is something they talked about so simply on their seeings call, they will

more headwinds relative to what they have seen. something we missed end a lot of the street missed is that when apple introduced ios in q4, they started to see some loss of signal with regard to location-based data, but google rolling out the changes on february 4, obviously a big change in terms of what could happen with regards to their access to signal. one thing that turned our head and pushed us over the edge downgrade was facebook, the following day, going ahead and saying they were going to pull back dramatically on the face back audience network. it is not that that actually has a huge revenue contribution or huge margin contribution, but we thought was basically an admission they recognized they are going to lose signal and are trying to get ahead of it. taylor: i want to look at a chart i am showing inside my terminal. you mentioned this the first

time, the valuation, facebook looked cheap because of multiple compression you have seen really going back five years. 2019 was supposed to be the investing year. 2020 expectations for the company were so high. what did you hear on that call that made you downgrade from a cell to a hold, and rethink this? ,ichael: a couple of things taylor. we were talking to quite a few large agencies, large advertisers, other publishers over the past week, and for us it was seeing a combination of the fan announcement, we heard from a couple of large advertisers that they thought this was really a seachange and yes, they are very smart, they will find some degree of work around, but you are going to unquestionably have some degree of degradation in terms of signal. taking a look again at what they said on the earnings call, and to boot we had a note out and we

alypse on as cookiepoc monday, and had quite a few conversations with folks across the industry. in terms of our downgrade, we had pushback from investors citing the stock as being cheap. we did not have a lot of pushback at all from industry participants, a sizable amount of our distribution. taylor: i finally figured out how to say the word cookiepocaly pse, and then we get to dtc implosion, direct to consumer. what is the shift related to dtc? to say. it is hard facebook is generally said, we have $8.5 million advertisers -- we have 8.5 million advertisers, and we don't think that is a huge part of their revenue base, a few billion dollars, but if we look at the tea leaves over the last six months, you see the we

works implosion, casper actually got out the door but to us it was a suggestion they had no other option's -- no other options. i can't envision bankers saying, we think this deal is going to go over well, and that was a company that did $1 billion, north of that, in march of 19. you put together a number of the signposts and a lot of these companies who are big advertisers on facebook don't really have good underlying economics, so the rationalization is inevitable. one additional prompt that could push this rationalization is, a decline on facebook, an important channel for then, maybe this is one more thing that leads the funders to say, aside from hoping somebody purchases us, i don't know if this a good business for us to continue to plow money into. levine of pivotal research, thanks for joining a spirit still to come -- joining

them all together, taken together they always against this, they rebut this presumption that the deal is anticompetitive. also the judge excepted remedies of the department of justice, ftc imposed to divest assets to dish and set up dish as another competitor in the market. taylor: who needed this deal more, sprint or t-mobile? jennifer: absolutely sprint. if the deal had not gone through, t-mobile would have been able to continue the profitable path -- the profitable path that has been on. in aprint was definitely difficult spot. they had reputation problems, network problems, they had that, and they were in a position where, especially with the advent of 5g, they weren't ever going to get them selves to a place where they could compete viably with the other three, verizon, at&t and t-mobile. the big winner is softbank and sprint in this case. build onust wanted to

a buyback and prove its transparency. does the completion of this deal in april make it likely some of those things are going to happen? jennifer: i would think so. it is straying a little outside my area, which is antitrust analysis, but yes, i would think so, it looks like the completion of the deal will stop putting things in place -- will start putting things in place for softbank. senior bloomberg intelligence analyst dent jacks jennifer reed, thank you. still plenty more ahead in the next hour of bloomberg markets asia where we will be joined by david from capital management. paul: the outlook for softbank earnings is due out later today. we will get analysis from amir anvarzadeh from assymetric advisors. at the top of the hour, australian markets opening, futures pointing higher, keeping an ion commonwealth bank, the largest listed corporation on the sx reporting earnings today -- the asx, reporting earnings

joining us now is our guest to talk about the fear. what is your take as to whether adequately,reacting or not accurately, or are too sanguine about the sprawling impact the coronavirus threatens to have globally? that seemed at the onset the market reacted in a way that we would have expected, that we had uncertainty in the market in the market hates uncertainty. it was an unknown as to what the coronavirus would me to markets globally. we saw a reaction to global markets over about a weekend a half, certainly after the lunar new year holiday when china reopened and had a chance to react. we saw the csi 300 down 9%, finishing down about 8%, then recovered after couple of days with that massive stimulus measure by the pboc. but since then here in the u.s., we have seen markets recover,

emerging markets recovery, and asian markets and china's market do better. i think there is a question now, are the markets becoming too sanguine, too complacent about the coronavirus? i had some question about that late last week as we saw markets become a little more volatile. there are still unknowns as to what this epidemic or pandemic, how it will nana fast itself here in the intermediate term -- how it will manifest itself here in the intermediate term, but markets here in the u.s. are largely looking past it and moving on as if it is not going to be that great an impact, which may be underestimating the impact. taylor: -- haidi: are we underestimating given that we know how globalize the economy is, and that asia

has already seen disruptions? are we underestimating the impact this is going to have on this earnings season and the next? david: it will certainly have an impact on this earnings season, for this quarter in the next quarter at least, and we are seeing that and guidance coming through from a lot of companies around the globe, and companies here in the u.s.. i think that the magnitude of that and the lasting effects of that will probably be largely realized, or we will be able to estimate a lot more, in the coming two or three weeks, because that is when we will see if some of these factories are able to come back online, and ofse gaps we see as a result supply chains around the world, auto industry, whether in the tech industry, if these gaps start shutting down plants and really disrupt supplies for those products they are going into around the world, we will

know that very soon, within the next week or two. shery: and also a more macro economic impact of supply chain disruptions could be prices of food and goods rising at the same time. will that tied the hands of central banks around age of the perhaps could have given a boost to the markets? yeah, that is the catalyst that his been all important in this, the central banks, the interplay they have had. specifically when we look at the people's bank of china, that massive stimulus the first day, the largest one-day injection of liquidity since 2004, then followed with more massive stimulus on the second day that helped us move the impact of the virus on china's markets. then we have had massive stimulus here in the u.s..

some recent data, we look at year-over-year change in liquidity injected into the u.s. system by our federal reserve, and it is the largest year-over-year of 12 month increase in liquidity in 50 years. so the amount of central bank stimulus around the world, whether the bank of japan, ecb, pboc or the federal reserve here, those for central banks alone, the amount of liquidity going into the system now -- thee 4 central banks alone, amount of liquidity going into the system now is massive and i think you will see more of it to curb the impact of the coronavirus on economies, that the ultimately impact effect on stock prices. mainstayvid kubla, capital management founder, you

asset strategist. let's talk about powell's testimony, because he seems mostly positive about the u.s. economy. is that give you more confidence about where equity markets could go from here? david: yeah, it does. cuts last three rate the fed,emptive by they called it a midcycle adjustment, and it seemed to be timed pretty well. leading into 20/20 and before the coronavirus on what that means to global economies, and the u.s. at look like we were in a goldilocks economy. we had reasonable growth, not very strong but reasonable, jobs still coming in quite good, last two jobs reports were quite good, reasonable gdp growth at around 2% for last year, and

unemployment still near 50-year lows, our most recent read, and the consumer is still pretty strong, so we are in a pretty good place, with the fed remaining very accommodative, so we are in a good place for the u.s. economy. that was reflected in the statement, and i agree. shery: contrast that to the international environment with the coronavirus and ongoing trade tensions. that you say domestically-focused small companies could be a better bet than those large companies with more businesses overseas? david: well, i don't, i don't think that. i think the environment we are in right now, two questions in there. the first part, we saw at the end of the year that it looked like, with pmi around the world, that the global economy was

starting to recover, we were starting to see what looked like a rebound of global economies, and the coronavirus may have disrupted that to some degree. and that has yet to be seen as to how severe that impact is on the global economy. in terms of where to invest, what we have seen on what we believe is that the major catalysts for u.s. stocks and most stocks around the world is central bank stimulus, liquidity injections into the market. we are at a pe of 18.8 right now in the u.s., pretty rich by historical standards, and the market keeps marching ever higher. and i think that is a large result of liquidity being pumped into the market. where does the liquidity go? large cap growth stocks, the large liquid blue-cap stocks. stocks looke value attractive, small caps look attractive, but we are primarily

focused on large, blue-chip stocks. and if you look at where the action has been, if i can use that phrase, year to date two thirds of the return of the s&p stocks,n four google -- apple apple, google, and amazon make up two thirds of the s&p 500. mega cap stocks. noti: if demand is destroyed, just delayed, are we set up for a stimulus-driven recovery at the end -- at the other end of this? anyin that case, do you buy short-term corrections? david: yeah, there is an opportunity. the human tragedy aside, when we get to the other side of this, there is differences between the coronavirus and sars, and there

may be a little more demand destruction this time. sars, there wasn't demand destruction, it was just demand delayed. there might be a little more demand destruction this time, but it will primarily be more demand that is delayed. on the other of this there will be real opportunity, and that opportunity will be a tactical opportunity for investors. and that, with stimulus, could be a real opportunity for investors. haidi: david, we have to leave it there, david could luck, mainstay capital management, founder and ceo. shery: more coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪

here in new hampshire. haidi: david, what is motivating voters to turn out? david: one challenge in new hampshire is interesting. there economy is going terribly well. they essentially have no unemployment read the biggest problem in the jobs market is finding enough skilled workers. they are concerned about health care. there is a huge opioid problem here. they have a big challenge with opioids and are very concerned with climate, because this is a source of tourism, a lot of the business here, ski resorts and things like that, so issues like that are very, very important to them, and trade, and they have some things on their mind, but a little different than maybe some of the rest of the country. shery: how much are voters still focused on who can beat president trump in november, the electability issue? david: yeah, that magical quotient we talked about in iowa. we talked to the former chair of the iowa democratic party earlier and she said address or nuts to talk about electability because she is not sure where you get it.

nature of this story, we have just had confirmation that japan will be banning tourist arrivals or foreign arrivals into japan. these are foreigners who have visited china, but not the epicenter of where we are seeing the coronavirus, but the eastern chinese province, and this is in response to the spreading of the outbreak of the new coronavirus and we have heard that has now been confirmed by the japanese government, shinzo abe speaking in tokyo. the rationale is that because the number of patients is increasing in that eastern province, according to government sources, we are now hearing that be confirmed. david, this follows globally the kind of ad hoc measures being taken by policymakers everywhere to try to contain this virus. how is this playing out on domesticof wiki -- on

vision fund investment, so the vision fund will have problems going forward in regards to getting these companies back into shape in order to get an ipo. but as far as softbank itself is concerned, the merger approval is a huge positive. shery: haidi: haidi: -- what are your expectations for earnings? it was a punishing year, we had wewere, at the same, elliott management taking a stake in softbank and saying it is undervalued. what are your expectations? i think the last quarter is still going to be tough for because some share prices listed like uber hadn't really been re-rated until this quarter. uber had a good run, they are

forecast to go into profitability. alibaba has had a good run as well, that is the biggest chunk of their investment anyway, $160 billion valuation, so softbank has got a big stake in that business. last quarter, i think things are going to be still relatively tough in terms of valuations of their stakes, but this quarter is obviously looking very good. as i said, vision fund is going to have problems, we know it is having a lot of difficulty arranging money from outside and forcing softbank to raise maybe half the $108 billion investment they are looking to raise. be overall, i wouldn't surprised if softbank announces some sort of share buyback, which is something they announced at this time last year when they posted their earnings. shery: hold on a second.

discussed softbank in japan. mentioned earlier elliott management getting involved. will they finally be able to compel softbank to adjust their approach when it comes to these investments? amir: i think management is already been changing anyway, putting a lot of pressure on individual managers to improve profitability. we have seen that across the board. i think elliott's purchase was more opportunistic. i don't think son was standing still anyway, i think he was probably likely to buy back shares this year if he could, although obviously there is a cash flow issue, something that .as to be considered

for elliott was obviously a great investment in terms of timing, doing it just before the .print-t-mobile merger approval obviously there might be some adjustments, but i think those adjustments start really coming through after that disastrous q2 showing. we were seeing that already. seey: why do we continue to my coc son -- to see dpm -- to son so determined in continuing to launch that fund? growthhey were going for at any cost in the vision fund, and they are fully invested. remember, there is $40 billion worth of preferred shares of the and they are on the

hook of paying 7% interest. about 2.7 billion dollars that they have to pay, year in and year out, and that almost supersedes the management fee they are taking from that, so they really do need to launch another fund focused on cash flow, focused on short-term profitability, not just longer-term, and more on profitability rather than sales growth. so in order to complete this communication to venture capital, if you like, they really need to put a restart. and in order to restart, they have to launch another fund. otherwise, you will probably take some time before you see any of those big investments in the ipo. you, assymetric
