5:07 am
flow looking out to 2021 where there is a bit more of a normal run rate of the revenues and cash flow. >> i kind of made a joke there josh about going to the sizler of course in new jersey, we can't go eat inside and you can't eat outside because it is either 100 degrees or a hurricane. you are recommending darden restaurants. is this a pure recovery play >> it is also, prepandemic there could be a lot of rationon alleysation. companies dike darden will

5:20 am
cheating cheating within the contest get them all confused. that is clearly the main intention. they've addressed the issues they've had huge impact to help them the biggest outbreak here is on the dollar bp did something not only they thought it wouldn't do but others would have. it cut its dividend in half. do you think that will drive investors to other oil stocks and do you think there is a chance exxon might do the same you don't want to look at just that cut you want to do things at the
5:21 am
same time. they'll half volumes those will be cut by 40% nevertheless, it is a very big deal this is the new ceo taking bp into the energy transition aggressively we'll see more from the company in september it is absolutely unprecedented that the company would cut its dividend in half up 6% on the day of the announcement. it would be the energy transition that would make the stock go up from investors demanding this i argued that basically share holders asked bp and that our conclusion was bullish on oil and u.s. companies >> that's because production cut
5:22 am
in half and not necessarily going in the environmental direction here i know you called eog in the past, theapple of oil. very quiet company ceo, i've been trying to interview the guy for like 10 years unsuccessfully do you still like eog? >> they were pulling through last night not making major announcements not like bp. another minor with less huge strategy shifts where these companies announce growth is out. ultimately we want to grow the dividend and the free cash flow. eog is saying a similar thing but in a quieter way and really continuing to perform well operationally. the price was terrible in q 2.
5:23 am
one of the problems with the stock, brian is the potential for a biden presidency which seems very high. there are concerns that eog has very high amount of federal lands. this is all a bit of nonsense because biden has said he doesn't want new activity on federal lands. the gulf of mexico exposure and new mexico exposure, that have been affected. the market is worried about the biden presidency >> you make a great point. one word new. that new means eog may have more operational control over those areas. great pleasure have a good weekend. talk to you soon >> coming up your exclusive insider buying segment including one red hot

5:29 am
week in a row. that is the first nine-week win streak since may 2006. >> every friday, we show you the company's whose executives are dipping into their own cash, buying their own stock down from five to one. naviet, ceo buying $360,000. number four, quidel is an interesting buy because the stock isn't down it has doubled the company makes covid tests. buying into extreme strength not weakness no doubt a stock to watch in the days and weeks ahead
5:30 am
f5 networks. number two, iqvia. who is this? the former testing company, quinn tiles merged and renamed and the company with the most insider buying this week is e health the ceo spending $3.6 million to buy 50,000 shares of this company. his first insider buy in four years. reminder, we do this only on wex every friday your five biggest insider buys this week. back to this morning's top news and developing story president trump has signed two executive orders prohibiting american residents from doing any business with tiktok, wechat
5:31 am
or the apps of parent chinese companies starting 45 days from now. the order says after 45 days, commerce secretary will, quote, identify the transactions, end quote that will be subjected to the condition. bytedance is a private company, tencent owner of wechat is not eunice yoon is with us i'm curious what these transactions are i want to be clear, he's not badding tiktok he's banning transactions. since the app is free, i'm not sure what is going on here >> i think you are not alone
5:32 am
which is why the stock fell so much for tencent. the reason why it is meaningful is that a number of people will be discussing how this will affect business. the ban could be broadened out to affect other parts of tencent's business for wechat, this is the go-to chat app for businesses and a way to communicate with suppliers it has 1.2 billion monthly active users very tough to get around american companies end up communicating with suppliers through kooech and also making payments a lot of american businesses and americans use wechat here in
5:33 am
china. also a question of how this will affect apple and google because it is in their appstores mainly this follows. it does have international ambitions. especially around gaming in july, they opened up a studio in l.a. because they want to try to build up their gaming portfolio. >> i love getting that local view there the story here is a huge amount
5:34 am
of attention not just cnbc. is it getting any addition there, eunice? >> absolutely. a ton of attention tiktok or bytedance, the owner of tiktok made a statement and said if they are not treated fairly that they will sue in u.s. court the fact that this anger is something we see within the company and the tech community sparking a ton of nationalism. talking privately saying it makes sense there would be this nationalism. there is a concern that it could get out of hand and that we could see a decoupling at a time when china doesn't have the technology yet to rely itself it
5:35 am
could become an issue for china. >> if i was going to be on tiktok, it would have to be called over-bytedance. nobody wants to see that that's from "when harry met sally. eunice u eunice yoon, appreciate it >> another dad joke. people may be driving more, they are not sharing rides. at least, not as a few weeks ago the company posting a quarterly net loss of $1.8 billion uber now lost $13.3 billion in a
5:36 am
year and a half. not market cap, money loss uber's losses basically equal the market caps of companies like halliburton or international paper. let's get more now from our guest. i tried to put that numberin context. this company has lost more where does it go from here >> brian, the reality is you had 26 banks float uber a year ago to repeat the company's messages
5:37 am
which are that it has a natural health in the feud delivery business on the rise we have doubts about that because food delivery grew it still lost and with some other transactions for example take away taking over grub in the u.s., it is about to become a more competitive market you either have people taking rides to restaurants or staying home and ordering take away. you don't seem to have both. then there is the wider issues of regulation and the economy. and they'll be able to afford the purchase on rise or take away >> the stock is down 4% right now. >> they are just bleeding money and there is no indication that
5:38 am
this is going to change. at some point, do you run out of operating cash flow? >> indeed. uber talks about gross cash but it actually is likely to slip into a net debt position as of the next quarter at the rate it is burning their adjusted loss would be the same next quarter as it was previously and they'll have to give incentives for people to get back into ride share everyone is uncomfortable venturing out and getting in an uber that has had other passengers in that day they cannot continue on with that cash burn down 26% i love uber.
5:39 am
i took one the other day a lot of people aren't taking them i took one mask on, window down great company in terms of what does for you what's the long-term future here. if people don't get back in cars for a year, is there a possibility the company goes out of business? >> that is one of the real long-term questions about this company's trop company's trojections. it provides huge operating
5:40 am
leverage it is not clear they'll be able to deliver management will tell you how cooperative they are because they have to what you've seen them do in food delivery is to continue to retreat. they are clearly in areas of ride share where it is not profit use case where they are in rural and suburban areas. they are desperate on airport rides and others and we don't know when that will come back. >> the $7 across town is not going to cut it. they need the airport travel and others we can get an answer on a lot of these today. this is a big one.
5:41 am
uber's ceo dacoming up. there are questions just can you make it. >> coming up, reading, writing and retail trying to figure out what back to school looks like ditis.swer will have huge implay incaon the dow is up 175. we are back after this (bling) see, incident resolved. how did you... gotta enjoy the small wins. you keep being you, derek. keep being you.
