headquarters in mountain view, california, 11:00 a.m. on wall street and "squawk alley" is live ♪ ♪ begin the day with a friendly voice ♪ >> good monday morning i'm carl quintanilla with morgan brennan and jon fortt live at post 9 of the new york stock exchange on the cusp of a big weekend ahead. >> we begin with a tech stock rally, tesla, microsoft, apple, nvidia all trading higher today.

what is behind this a rally? can it continue? good morning, gentlemen. paul, i'll start with you. valuations getting stretched here >> i'm a little bit worried about the valuations in tech, and i've been at this game a long, long time. fundamentals are okay. fundamentals might even be accelerating a tad from last year but when you take a look at the valuations of some of the marquee names that you mentioned in the teaser, particularly tesla and apple, i'm worried >> interesting okay joel, how about you? given some of the names we just mentioned, in your coverage universe, what do you like the most at these levels >> good morning. thanks for having me on. obviously with tech you want to be a lot more selective and who the winners and losers are going to be. i think apple is to the upside, but 13 times to 24 times the span of 12 months is getting a little rich.

i think the 5g hype could get a little ahead of itself, especially 5g as a utility is limited in the foreseeable future i look for names in the large cap leadership like alphabet, salesforce.com has underperformed parts of 2019 i think you'll see a mix fundamentals are solid but we're still in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution and tech is at the forefront. >> paul, how much do you think google cloud matters to alphabet's valuation from here >> you know, as we go through time, i think it's going to matter more, and it looks under its most recent leadership that the company is finally putting some pretty aggressive sales and marketing behind it. you know, right now it's not that big as long as they continue to gain some share, i think in future years they'll have to gain more shares to keep the valuation going. but as of now, we do know that aws is huge and they're still

about two times the size of everybody else, and microsoft i expect to be the biggest share gainer in that cloud space, at least in 2020. >> paul, today credit suisse goes to 180 on microsoft, they see cloud revenue going to $100 billion in five ears explain to viewers who has pole position in cloud and do you see that changing over the next say two years? >> i think what happens is in this particular space within technology that the strong get stronger so as we go through time, i expect aws to continue to lose share but because they were the pioneer in the space they have a lot of share to give it's a weshgs section, it's microsoft, it's google, not necessarily today but form, and also, believe it or not, on the worldwide stage, it's alibaba. those companies will continue to take share for some of the yesteryear, '80s, '90s styles like oracle.

>> you have this big feature story in "the wall street journal" about google's ongoing push into health care as well. how big is the opportunity there? in terms of the different tech companies that are pushing into it, who's in the lead? >> yeah, i mean, there's no secret apple is apple and tim cook made a big push and focus on health care as part of some of their surveillances. google will be at the forefront as well. we know the leaders in china have done similar. under the hood, i look at a name like nuance. they spin out their auto division back on october 1st they're pretty much a pure play on health care trends and they've chosen some really good momentum heading into 2020 nuance is a midcap name which i love and expect it to continue i think morgan stanley upgraded them this morning. under the hood you want midcap names that still have legs to go this their trade and nuance sticks out to me >> joel, let's say you're queasy

about tech at these heights but you still like it. where do you hide? what stable, perhaps not super high growth, but something you think if things turn down it will turn down less or even continue to hold up stockwise? >> yeah. names with more defensive characteristics. for 5g, that's a theme that's been prevalent the last 12 months look to the testing side of things a company out tf tof the uk this morning had an uptick. you have to towers as well more 5g devices lead to more data usage leading to site identification so names like american tower, sbac, crown castle, those are names you can sleep at night as far as cloud, large-cap tech, paul mentioned microsoft if you want to sleep well at night, microsoft is a core

holding for the next decade-plus. easy as that >> paul, just looking at your portfolio holdings here, it's a mix of internet and semiconductors and hardware. have the best gains already been had in semis given the year we just had >> semiconductors have been huge, but i actually think if i peel back the onion within technology and even though i am queasy about the valuations overall in the sector, i do think there's some upside in not all the semiconductor names but a kascattered few, specifically micron technology and applied materials have a lot of upside also look at lam research and taiwan semiconductor they should be, particularly as we roll out 5g infrastructure, good names for a number of years. >> does the space want a deal with china that is poised to get inked on wednesday, does that do anything to add to the bold case for tech, paul >> i think it's much to do about

nothing. the key will be what comes over time with phase two and later dealings with the chinese pertaining to the purported theft of u.s. i.t., intellectual property as far as what's going on in phase one maybe gives, some signs we can expect to have a better relationship with the chinese. maybe phase one does lead to phase two with some certainty now. but as far as what's going to be inked this week, it's really not a big deal >> joel, same question to you before we wrap up. >> paul mentioned micron within tech as well i'm in the campaign finance reform the bulk of the chinese noise is kind of in the rear view and with trump needing to focus on the election, hopefully that noise pulls back a little bit. within the semiconductor world, western dig, memory prices are inflicting a lot quicker than people expected. and the semi caps, the dealers for 5g and ai ramping up

and china will continue to focus on being a lot less dependent o western silicon. the equipment guys are to supply the gear >> the arms dealers. all right. gentlemen, thanks for joining us today, joel and paul >> take care >> thank you >> when we return, the one and only kara swisher joins us at post 9 and a reminder, you can always watch us live on the go on the cnbc app. download it today. and meanwhile, don't go anywhere quk le rur itwo. on options trading, and look, it feels like i'm just wasting time. wasted time is wasted opportunity. >>exactly. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. see, you just >>oh, this is easy. yeah, and that's >>oh, just what i need. courses on options trading, webcasts, tutorials. yeah. their award-winning content is tailored to fit

a very special moment. >> elon musk over the weekend tweeting, teasing a talking tesla, and during what's been an unbelievable run-up for the stock in recent weeks, doubling in the last three months, the highest valued automaker in the country, up over 2%, 5% today, crossing the $500 mark earlier kara swisher is with us at post 9 to talk about what's going on at tesla bob lutz has turned. oppenheimer goes to 612. are you shaking your head? >> there's a lot of momentum because he's gotten past the problems he had and there's a natural recovery period. working on the batteries, the truck, an exciting rollout

he's nothing if not a showman and what he's doing is directionally so correct and he's so far ahead of everyone else in terms of sort of like netflix kind of around the track, way past other e people i think there is sort of an enthusiasm what do you want to invest in in this area? you can buy a big piece of ford or mercedes-benz, but none of them are sort of breaking out the way he does every day, essentially. i think some of the crazy stuff seems to be behind him, so that's always good >> you think it's legit and deserved >> you know, economics are still the economics. you just look at the numbers it's like looking at uber and anything else. it doesn't pencil out when you look at it the shish is how well can we execute and get those cars made and maybe get help i always think someone will come in and help them take it to the next level he's always one of those people, on the razor edge of breaking out or falling off

he talked about it in our podcast last year, that idea of like he's got to push it through. he makes everything dramatic but i think it's an exciting story and wall street likes that >> china manufacturing seems like the big thing, the game changer. it's hard to do. he's doing it. there are some measurable benchmarks, said to be a downfall, hitting that line. >> yes, it is. he's good at math, by the way. >> so i don't know he's also good at dreaming so that has downsides do you think this changes is way we've got to measure elon mus snk is he starting to move into that apple-like category of perhaps changing the business model of autos yoeb more vertically integrated? potential for profit is higher >> but he has to sell and make a lot more cars. it's all about scale all the time you could be seeing a jobs-like story here

he is the natural inheriter of jobs gates is the inheriter of gates, not quite as dramatic. but you could see that, yes. you could see him do that. it's the issue of making more cars it's hard to make cars there's always kinds of players in his way when you're making a physical object. but he keeps delighting people with things like talking cars. cool you don't say that about anybody else even if he deploys it, eve an karaoke thing or this or that, there are dozens of these findings and that was a stev jobs regular he'd always pop out and the next thing, one more thing. >> this whole idea of talking teslas goes back towards this idea of, a, a self-automated robo taxi fleet, and if you're an investor, the debate seems to be with tesla as the valuation continues to expand here, is this an auto company or is this

a tech company >> auto company. an auto company. what's the joke that the cars are the original mobile device, you know what i mean all car companies are tech companies but the making of them is a an an log, very difficult, regulations are still not clear on automation across the globe either so it's a very difficult business, which means he can succeed so money doesn't necessarily mean success or a lot of capital you need a lot of capital, but at the same time just because you're ford doesn't mean you're going to win just because you're mercedes-benz -- you may not have the capabilities in software the marriage of the two has to come together. years ago one of the top uber executives said to me that making a car was trivial i was like you're an idiot it's a difficult p endeavor. if you can figure ot the analog and the creativity and the software, it's difficult he's managing to pull it off again, with these kind of

things, whether he has the truck, even if he throws a baseball, whatever, through -- what did he throw, a grapefruit? >> a steel ball. >> steel ball. >> you know, it's fun and kind of funny and he takes it in sprid. stri >> larry allison looking like an oracle putting a billion dollars into this before it sank and now it's above put a billion dollars in >> does he care? he's probably got one in his drawer like isn't he one of the richest people on earth? i don't know but it's smart i ran into one of his board members and they were pretty happy with where elon was going after a very rocky period. >> while we're talking ellison, pompeo, the secretary of state, is in san francisco today planning to hold a private dinner later tonight with several tech leaders including ellison and venture capitalist mark andreassen. what's going on here >> tech is continuing to have these sideways relationships with the trump administration. it makes sense

all kinds of issues that the secretary of state has to deal with it makes sense pompeo is essentially running the defense department it feels like or seems to be the top adviser to the president it makes sense for ellison and others -- i think open door is there, you know, they have to sort of start to have discussions. i think it will be funny because larry ellison doesn't care what anybody thinks and he'll say what he thinks he often surprises you what side of the aisle he's on he's often on different sides with different issues. >> cloud adoption and the conversation we've had on this set will be in the forefront but also cybersecurity, especially with everything with iran. >> probably china. i would imagine lots of issues there's tons of issues i think what happened in iran will probably be an issue, how we keep markets stable and

government investment probably and regulation >> digital service taxes and antitrust domestically there's a ton. >> or just maybe architecture. he loves architecture. one time i had a whole meeting with him about coconut water and i wanted to talk about something else, but he loves coconut water. fascinating. >> why is mark andreessen so quiet lately >> i don't know. i've heard different things. i think he just doesn't feel like talking mark goes into those phases. i think he is quietly -- ben horowitz, his partner, is talking a lot. mark is like that. you know that. he just goes in and out. he'll come back when he has something to say >> we miss him, at least on social >> do you? >> one of the great accounts kara, good to see you. >> thank you >> have a good week. kara swisher all the major averages back in the green led in part by tech stocks the dow is up 61 points, near

welcome back, everybody. i'm sue herera here's your cnbc news update at this hour. the trump administration is planning to permanently halt its civilian drone program because the devices are made at least in part in china. that's according to a report in the "financial times." the interior department is said to be considering halting about 1,000 drones after deciding the risk of those drones being used by beijing for spying was too high warner brothers "joker" leading the pack with 11 oscar

nominations today including best picture and best actor for joaquin phoenix. netflix titles picked up 24 nominations including for "the irishman." a six-alarm fire at an apartment construction site in new jersey spread to at least five other buildings and it forced more than 100 residents to evacuate and it shut down power to half of that town and former dallas cowboys and miami dolphins head coach jimmy johnson has been elected to the pro football hall of fame he was emotional when surprised with that news on the fox halftime telecast yesterday. the full list of inductees will be revealed a bit later this week it is a big football week too. that is the news update this hour jon, back to you >> sue, thank you. no matter the industry or sector, cloud computing is a top concern for tech leaders according to our most recent

survey of the cnbc technology executive council. that council is made up of nearly 150 tech decisionmakers from some of the world's largest companies and organizations. more than 70% of members who responded to the survey last month told us cloud is critically important to their company's tech strategy in 2020. machine learning was a distant second and less than half said artificial intelligence more broadly is critically important to their companies this year speaking of cloud, i sat down exclusively with the ceo of google cloud earlier this morning, thomas kurian he's here in new york city to speak at the national retail federation's annual big show cloud companies like google and microsoft making their pitch to retailers who are reluctant to give their cloud business to their biggest competitor, amazon kurian spoke about market share within the cloud i asked him whether google can climb to number one or two in cloud in the next five years take a listen.

>> a very strong start to winning large customers in a number of other industries, not just retail, butfinancial services, telecommunications, et cetera. just as an example, at retail, 7 of the 10 largest retailers in the world are customers of google cloud so we're very confident in the progress we've made. >> the being number one or number two a goal? >> of course >> how should that be measured everybody seems to measure what gets defined as cloud revenue a little bit differently, especially legacy players like your ibms, oracles, where you used to be how do you think investors should be keeping score? >> you know, we're very early in this cloud transformation. what cloud will look like five years from now is not what cloud looks like today and what cloud looks like today is not the way it looked like ten years ago as an example, if you went back to 2000, 2005, and asked people

what's cloud, they would say, well it doesn't exist. it did exist sales force, enjoy, a number of companies there. 2006 to 2015, 2016, was really about infrastructure put your stock in my data center i can run it cheaper for you it's mostly about efficiency, cost optimization. where we see cloud going in the future is about differentiating capability how do you help a retailer reach customers better, a market market better? and delivering unique solutions for different industries we see that as a big future for cloud and we see google having a number of advantages because we understand consumers and we can use our ai machine learning advantages there to deliver solutions others can't >> i also asked kurian about leadership change at google, particularly larry page step back from the ceo role and operating role at the company,

also what sindar's expanded role at the company means for cloud >> sindar has been our executive ceo in charge. it was a natural evolution of our organization they continue to be involved as technical advisers to us and have great product ideas they share with us. >> what about customers who might be wondering about the core high-level commitment to becoming a true enterprise organization does that intensify with this move or is it -- surely, you must have been asking these questions more than a year ago when you were figuring out whether this was a place you wanted to land >> i would not have joined goog fl there was not a deep-seated commitment all the way from the top of the organization to being a great enterprise company we've made a lot of steps this last year and continue to remain focused on that going forward. >> finally, we talked data,

specifically concerns over how companies like google utilize it and share it if they get the cloud data, are they going to use it to target advertising take a listen to kurian's a answer >> our goal is to allow customers to using their data securely using our technology to become more efficient as retailers and trusting that google will not use their data in any way >> a similar question, with google, some people worry that google will use the cloud data and mingle it in a way to target advertising eventually to consumers. what's your message to people who are concerned about that specifically when it comes to things like health >> so, very specifically, when you put data in a cloud, your data is your data. google provilds you technology to understand the data and use it in new ways we absolutely do not use it for

any other purpose than delivering you that capability and not only that, we commit to that the contractually it's written in the contract >> we asked him what happens to margins when he's scaling up the sales force the way he is. he plans to triple it within the next couple of years amazon also said they're investing heavily in sales force. you can bet microsoft is too does do the margins get squeezed as they look for better times down the road when somebody gets pushed out he said they are investing in the long term. >> sounds like they do get squeezed interesting that you sat down with him at this conference, which is very telling in and of itself, at a time so many retailers are expected about the other big player in cloud, amazon it seems like it's an opportunity for google to come and make its presence known. >> satya nadella was speaking

last night making a similar pitch. i talked to thomas also about what he thinks is going to matter over the next few years as he plans to gain share. he is talking about big customer wins he thinks that's what's going to move the needle. look for one of those badges to come with. that's the enterprise playbook look who we got, a big player, you ought to do it too microsoft is riding high post jedi >> high-profile customer wins. good for the enterprise and by extension to consumers, you know >> could well be >> all right great stuff, jon speaking of another name, netflix shares up almost 3%. julia has more of that >> morgan, that's right. more no, ma'am nax -- nominations from the academy

than ever before 24 for netflix in total. that's up from 15 nominations l.a. year. next is in line was disney, which grabbed 22 nominations, including its fox search light division netflix's biggest winner today, "the irishman," drawing ten nominations including best picture. its "marriage" story also winning. the question is whether netflix will lose out to a traditional studio for the top best picture award as it did last year when "roma" drew a ton of nominations and awards but did not win best pictures the other leading contenders, "the joker" with 11 nominations, and "once upon a time in hollywood" and "1917" drew ten nominations each, including best picture. netflix will use all these nominations to promote its service, try to draw subscribers and hold onto them

back to you. >> nominations for the obamas and looks like we're going to get another year of oscar's so white outrage, julia >> yes a lot of backlash already. this is a year there were no female nominees for director, even though greta was considered going to be a shoo-in to be nominated for best director for "little women. she was not. of the 20 actors nominated between men and women, best actor and supporting actor, only one african-american for the movie "harriet." a lot of backlash, oscar so white and so male. it will be interesting to see how they handle those issues the award ceremony is much earlier this year, february 9th. >> julia, thank you. as far as the rally today goes, it's not just netflix. tesla, microsoft, apple leading the day. our next guest says judgment side is possible for both alphabet and facebook as well. he joins us here at post 9

good to have you we talked a lot about cloud, but digital advertising, e-commerce. what is the market not understanding about the overall space? >> i think a couple things i'm seeing overall the first is kind of across the board there's healthy growth but not that robust 30%, 40%, you know, top-line growth taking place anymore. what we're seeing, earlier from the cloud, everyone is getting into each other's space, compete for dollars but they're all in that 15% to 25% annual growth range, so that's why advertise is getting into e-commerce and vice versa >> on your list of outperforms, facebook, google, uber, snap twit we are a sell then amazon left pins in between. what are the threads >> i think one of the most interesting calls on there is amazon at a market perform with peers going with a byside

rating part of that is the natural ebbings in their core business one thing they're great at is buying products. but when we start thinking about shopping and inspiration, they're not the brand you think about. that's where facebook and instagram and others are coming on with a very different sales proposition to attract where e-commerce is going. around cloud, that's a spot we're seeing increased margin competition as we think about used to be a singular player getting the business, now three players all with really comparative offerings in place >> jon, digital ad dollars, in addition to facebook and google, the two dominant players, what are the other names to watch >> i didn't really hear the question could you repeat that? >> in addition to facebook and google, what are the names that could actually emerge to meaningfully take market share where digital advertising is concerned? >> yeah. that's a great question. we just ran our eighth annual

u.s. ad buyer survey we published the results last thursday and we surveyed 50 u.s. ad buyer, about $13 billion of u.s. ad spend they were more bullish on u.s. advertising heading into 2020 than the last few years. but we asked a new question this year, which platforms could emerge or is emerging outside of facebook and google properties which on our math account for for 67% of global digital advertising ex-china and 40% amazon which dovetails nicely with our forecast we have amazon share of global digital advertising rising from about 6% this year to about 9% by 2025. it's high-margin business for the company coupled with aws margins. one of our calls on amazon this year, our top pick, is that margins start to accelerate, particularly the second quarter

and back half of the year as they start to comp the prime one-day cost >> mark, speaking of margins, how concerned should investors be about this ramp-up in cloud sales force spend weg oar seeing across different names like google and amazon? >> yeah, we should be looking at that in that cloud space as we talk about the very different go to markets that took place, a lot of it was inbound requests so i knew what i wanted to do, could set up my cloud with workloads. now i have to show up with a sales force. i have to hire up a customer relations manager. everyone is doing the exact same thing at the same time we should watch it closely because aside from staffing up you're not competing on price. >> is it downside because of squeezed margins or are investors going to be looking for growth on the top line and that's going to overshadow any spending that might have to take place as they jockey for market

share? >> we should be looking at top line first as long as that top line looks healthy and steady, we're able to convince the legacy companies to move the next work load to the cloud and feel comfortable and confident in skirt of ecuri. that's the first thing we should be looking at. keep looking down at the margins. we shouldn't underestimate what this business will look like and margins will look like in five years. >> we spent all of twooi2019 tag about antitrust and scrutiny yet stocks rallied are these concerns from an investor standpoint to be put on hold for the election year >> yeah. i mean, if you look at the big three -- amazon, facebook, and google -- we would rank order in terms of regulatory risk this tier over facebook and google.

a little less headline risk. but ultimately, and ultimately for facebook and google, they're both up about 5% this year for further moves up we think it will have to be estimate revisions up because the regulatory risk for those companies could kind of cap their multiples. so, again, dovetailing back to amazon, a little less on regulatory scrutiny. >> i noticed we mentioned twitter as an underperform for you. it sounds like jon isn't all that thrilled with it either it's an election year, being lit up by oscar nominations. seems like that bug in the ad product is haunting them months later. >> absolutely. a couple things we've noted in the past is other election years, other olympics, we haven't seen that bump-up in users globally you'd expect to see from a company like twitter. around that ad product, it hasn't improved at the rate of which their peers, snap,

facebook, and gook l, have improved theirs. what we look for is we look at their underperform rating and to increase that velocity of ship shipping product we've soon it on the consumer side we want to see it on the advertising side >> why uber over lyft? >> we like a couple things recently the market has gotten focused on margins i think softbank had a lot to do with that. we care about where the new growth will come from and uber is participating in it they're playing and investing in new ideas and opportunities to leverage the platform. that's like we like them >> nice to have you on the scene. talk to you soon >> thank you >> still more ahead on today's largest tech movers next but first, rick santelli, what are you watching today >> parallel shift in the kufsh s

here's what's coming up at the top of the hour. judgment week for stocks earnings under way tomorrow. the investment community taking positions in the market ahead of the numbers.

and the names that are selling today and there are several. we'll discuss whether it is time to take profits in your own portfolios and a big downgrade for one popular media stock that made our "call of the day." that and more coming up at noon. less than 15 minute as away jon fortt, see you soon. the cme, rick santelli is there with "the santelli exchange." >> thanks, jon something is rich or it's cheap. sounds easy. but rich and cheap are two woords often used but difficult to quantify. first of all, whose eyes are we measuring this financial product's richness or cheapness by an example, 30-year bonds. jpmorgan is basically issuing a sell because they think that the metrics for the long bonds are just too rich. and i totally understand, and i can't say that i necessarily disagree but if you take the viewpoint of

a global overseas investor who's swimming in a pond of negative and low-yielding instruments, all of a sudden, 30-year bond looks different to that investor let's go through it. a 30-year bond street that started before the fourth of july, ended today, hovering at 231 as you see right here. but here's the interesting part. you know how much technicals can give you good guidelines i always like to do high-low perpendicular midpoint, so if you do it herer,we get some nice tops. we do it here, more nice tops. look at this giant top that occurred right at the beginning of july last year. you have 266, 195. add them together, divide it by two. guess what it comes out too? pretty darn good close to 231. if you look at this level it does give you lots of granular positives to pay attention to. we seem to be circumventing it,

going towards it, getting very compact. what do you do with this chart let's break it down first of all, we know primary dealers for most of 2018 and 2019 were heavily long we also know recent activity in 30-year bonds has that shorts building to the point we now see in 2020 dealers have gotten much less long and long in definition of dealer parlance is cash minus futures. so what we really have is a market that seems to want to go higher in yields, but the point of the matter is we have so many people on that side of the ship, they say, that it's going to be difficult. but i say if you look at the 30-year bond from a global perspective and you look it aat from a company assets to liabilities scenario, this will continue to trade lower in yield, higher in price than it should why? because what would you rather

have a boon at the highest yield right now minus 16 since may or 231 in your pock wet soet with e security risk? that's the question to ask yourselves morgan >> after the break, the ceo of a waumsly and jim cramer the nasdaq hits a fresh record intraday high. stay with us of yourself. but nature's bounty has innovative ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and well-rested. because hey, tomorrow's coming up fast. nature's bounty. because you're better off healthy.

consumer finding out about these drugs. that's something that has just never been talked about. it's the year of the consumer. that's what we are talking about at the jp morgan health care. >> do you think that's going to supplant all the worries we normally get about drug pricing going into an election >> boy, what a great question. i think all of these people are sensitive to pricing, particularly what we hear when we talk about iowa cause caucus, when we talk about new hampshire, one of the things i think you are going to hear is bernie sanders is doing quite well he doesn't like these companies. they can talk about innovation all they want. he doesn't care. he thinks they overcharge, that they make too much money it is obvious to me when you are out here you could curtail innovation if you let these companies, let's just say make far less machines. if you are going to treat them like a utility you are not going to get the drugs we need in this country. >> that's a great way to frame
