11:00 am
see yourself. welcome back to the mirror. and know you're not alone because this. come on jessie one more. is the reflection of an unstoppable community in the mirror.
11:01 am
good morning, it is midnight in beijing it's 11:00 a.m. on wall street and "squawk alley" is live. >> good friday morning welcome to "squawk alley." i'm jon fortt with carl quintanilla. it's the end of cloud week on "squawk alley. what a week it's been. they have brought news on custom chips, machine learning and more sales force announced plans to buy slack for nearly $28 billion in the second largest software deal ever. we've had ibm and microsoft
11:02 am
weigh in snowflake and others have turned in blah earnings we'll hear from the ceo this hour what does it mean for investors already sky high investor malic noijoins us now i can't believe we never had you on "squawk alley" before i hope this is a trend i want to start with sales force slack. i know that you have known stu butterfield for a long time, even before flicker was a hit. you think this very expensive deal makes sense why? >> so let's remove the price out of the equation. i think what you're looking at right now is in 2020, we have gone from the idea of a company or an organization being physical to completely being
11:03 am
digital. we're in need of a system to organize itself. the most important thing for a nervous system, you need to have a communication there, a messaging there. so from that standpoint, it is a great acquisition for sales force. you know, again, like i'm removing the valuation from the conversation once you do that, it makes a lot of sense >> the reason i'm making -- i'm separating the two is because a, i will shareholder in slack a little while ago so i'm a little biassed. more importantly, i do feel that there is sometimes you have to, like you know, back in the day when you go on youtube for a billion dollars, it is a crazy deal and look where it is now it is the future of google similarly on instagram beauty is in the eye of the
11:04 am
beholder if i may make one more point this is the first horizontal product in the sales force portfolio. it is not going into a single you know, part of the business it is cross organization it is the glue which holds companies and organizations together there is a lot more upsell opportunity for sales force in this acquisition >> i get that. but i got to think salesforce already had chatter which was supposed to do that. if you justify this, don't you have to look at stubutter field and say here's a guy who is a serial founder he is a creator of cultures. he's a guy who, you know,
11:05 am
bennieof had a co-ceo and moved away from that he needs strong leaders. he has a leader who can grow leaders and has a track record of that but i also want you to step back if you can and tell me this is a bet on the future of this trance formation that we've seen take us this far and that into 2021, '22 and beyond, there is going to continue to be growth. isn't that what this is a bet on from a company that in sales force is already huge? >> yeah. i mean, that's essentially what i was trying to tell you is that in 2020, we have a company going to a physical presence you need slack to bring it together now they can be on top of it it's not just butterfield. so you think about it. in taylor, you have arguably the best technological mind of a generation he got behind google maps, he's,
11:06 am
you know, he's the one who helped put together facebook news feed. and he is running -- he's the president and also the technological thinker at salesforce you add a product guy like stewart, now that's a good combination. you can't take stewart just in isolation because you have two really good young leaders who can put together a real why i noose future for this compan nice future for this company and he can help this company >> i want to ask you a baseball question tech leaders are fond of talking about what inning we're in with particular technology trends it's like we never get beyond the third inning they're never like oh, well, you know, seventh inning stretch for this one we're going to ride it as far as we can you have seen the transitions many times from business 2.0 where i also worked. you know, the work you're doing now as an investor what inning is it really
11:07 am
>> so i would start -- i got into the cloud game like 2005. 2007 we did our first conference call structure. and in 2010, i heard a conversation with the ceo and he told me that this thing is going to be a 25-year cycle at the very least if you take that and we're still maybe second inning, not even third. >> oh, come on third inning again still? >> thank you great perspective from a guy who has seen a lot of this and continues to watch it and invest in it. hope to have you back real soon. >> thank you, my friend. >> carl. >> meantime, sharp slowdown on
11:08 am
the jobs number last month as we get a print of 245,000 steve liesman looking at that and some of the reaction around the street hi, steve. >> there is concern of worst to come nonfarm payrolls rising. it's an estimate of 440,000. unemployment failed by 66.7. that is because many left the workforce. average hourly earnings were up. that's because the job mix did not include a lot of low paying jobs ticking down again people leaving the workforce rsm writes from here employment gains will become far more difficult and the unemployment rate will stall until firms or individuals are certain they'll have access to a safe and effective vaccine. and then at jeffries, he says the rise in permanent layoffs and the decline in labor force participation suggests that not all of the weakness will be
11:09 am
reversed easily. claims were up in home based data on workers showed declines, especially in retail so here's where the jobs were and where they weren't transportation warehousing, that's the new retail, folks a big gain in curriers and mess efrpgers goods producing doing well with manufacturing and construction both up. and temporary help, maybe that's a good sign in this report but retail has a very high bar from seasonal adjustmentes it could not get over it and government down 99,000 local workers suffering as well as census workers taking off the pay rolls. four million people left the workforce since february they dropped out and there remains 9.4 million fewer jobs from february and the process of putting them
11:10 am
back to work slowed. looks like we manage to get worst of both worlds a spreading virus and a weakening economy together >> this is a tough one for incoming administration to deal with steve liesman, thank you and coming up, the last of the exclusive cloud week interviews just moments away. this one with the earnings mover of the morning pager duty see it up there. the ceo is going to join us this hour as we close out huge cloud week here on "squawk alley." stay with us this is decision tech.

11:14 am
the team's been working around the clock.wire, we've had to rethink our whole approach. we're going to give togetherness. logistically, it's been a nightmare. i'm not sure it's going to work. it'll work. i didn't know you were listening.
11:15 am
the only hope in my view of how the traditional studios can compete with the streamers through using this new theatrical window which is movie place exclusively in a theater for three weeks, could go longer and then moves to your home. and i think if more studios adopt that, think think we'll see many, many, many more movies playing in a theater for a much shorter period of time i think for the consumer that's a great thing. instead of going to the multiplex and having avengers playing on eight screens and then two other movies on nine
11:16 am
and ten, you'll have eight different movies playing every weekend. the only thing is twhoeis they long there will be a new set of a bunch of different movies. but your ability to go to the theater and see things that are not just horror movies or super whore r hero movies, we've seen that drama has really migrated to television and they're very few dramatic movies released theatrically i think when windows are shorter, we'll see genres come back and they migrate to streaming. we may see more of those in movie theeters with a shorter window. >> that is jason blum talking to us yesterday at cnbc evolve summit about the changing theatrical window, the historic innovations in media and nowhere was that more obvious than the warner announcement yesterday. they're going to put the 2021 slate on hbo max the same day the films go into theaters
11:17 am
heather musneck joins us that amazing evolution in the movie business formerly the head of content partnerships at hulu welcome back >> hi, thanks so much. thanks for having me back. >> the takes on this yesterday is either the window completely collapsed and hollywood changed forever. others said, look, it's u.s. only it's not international and probably is only for a year. which camp are you in at least right now? >> i think personally the cat's out of the bag so this is a complete paradigm shift when you have the second largest major studio saying that their entire slate for a whole year, beyond what we expect to be sprenlted frprevented from go mo movie theaters, when they said the slate is going to be available on hbo max and the same day available in movie
11:18 am
theaters, that's a paradigm shift. i think what is going to be really interesting to see is what, you know, what happens next with what disney does they also have a major horse in the race with disney plus and with hulu in the u.s. and, you know, there is going to be a lot of pressure for them to make a decision very quickly as to how they're going to -- what piece they're going to play against the theatrical distribution of negotiations >> right you don't think that mulan and soul are already a tell as to what disney is thinking may be >> i think it's a toe in the water. with mulan, they charge $30. you have to be a disney plus subscriber soul, you know, they have gone more in the direction of what hbo max is doing by having it be a same day streaming release and it's included in your subscription fwhaut but that is an ip that is unknown. and so i think they have a bigger decision to make.
11:19 am
they've been pushing off their releases of black widow and others into, you know, who knows when that is going to be released it was supposed to be out this year we have "west side story" and other motion pictures supposed to be released from didz asney pixar or 20th century fox which they recently bought they're going to be in a position, they're in the next position to really make a decision about a much bigger move similar to what hbo max has done in order to compete >> yeah. i mean, without getting too much into the economics of film, there are large questions about what they call the back book, how that gets monetized. much different in streamingen that than in pay per view. they wonder how the profits are going to be made up. >> sure. i'm sure they have a lot of people crunching a lot of numbers right now. you know, to figure out exactly what the right move is and the economics are going to be different for disney than they're going to be for hbo max.
11:20 am
so when you look at digital as well, it's a very different red share. so box office, you're splitting half of that with the theaters and digital, you get to keep if it's your own streaming service, you keep most of the revenues except for distribution fees that you're being charged which are in the tens and 20s. it's not 50. so they have much higher percentage of the revenues and, you know, they're going to have to make decisions between this and the new homegrown streaming services which is -- which are also different models from each other. what we saw with troll when they went straight to pvod in march at the beginning of covid-19 was that they actually were able to generate $100 million in in digital sales. and that wassomething that was you know, pretty close to what they were doing in box office in the first month. and so it is an -- as these streaming services get scaled which this kind of an announcement with hbo max is
11:21 am
certainly going to super charge their subscriber numbers for next year, they're going to start to have bigger and bigger budgets to offset the losses i think at this point they really need to make a decision on how seriously they're betting on the digital feature >> heather, this broken window this broken theatrical window, two things i'm hoping that you can address. one, does this essentially spell doom for bad theaters? i mean, if it's between going to a old theater with soda stains in the seat or staying home, i'm going to stay at home. i like the ones with reservations and the leather recliners. >> me too. food >> yeah. is this a huge opportunity for consumer electronics and over the top names like roku, sonos, amazon, apple, adobe maybe i want to get the surround sound head phones now. maybe i want a bigger tv maybe i want a buildout. but a really nice experience if the window's broke snn.
11:22 am
>> we-- broke snn. >> i bought a projector can you stick on the floor right up against the wall and can you take everything off the wall you don't even need a screen then you have a home theater and it doesn't cost that much money and there is no installation for a couple hundred bucks can you have a projector that streams anything that is the size of a coke can the opportunities for consumer electronics to benefit from this home theater experience is absolutely we've already seen with covid-19 that people investing heavily in that -- in improving that experience 40% of households have upgraded their broadband connectivity and we already have 100 million households that have connected tvs. so this is a consumer base that is ready to stream movies and home and they're going to continue to invest in making that experience better and better. and that has gotten cheaper anyway for all of us to do the so, you know, this is the time to make that big move especially if you're hbo and you
11:23 am
have to get those numbers from 38 million, to you know, 60 or 80 next year to be considered a long term contender. >> yeah. as we take a look at those pricing numbers. good news for the consumer now it's up to the companies to figure out how they're going to do it profitbly. i think it's fascinating, heather. thank you so much for the guidance on this we'll see you soon. >> thanks so much. >> it has been a good week for apple suppliers with names like micron, intel, all up near double digits and extending those gains today. a lot more "squawk alley" still ahead. stay with us this is decision tech. find a stock based on your interests or what's trending. get real-time insights in your customized view of the market. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity. see yourself. welcome back to the mirror. and know you're not alone because this. come on jessie one more. is the reflection of an unstoppable

community in the mirror. hi, my name is sam davis and i'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then, you're still responsible for 20 percent of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance, but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look a humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits, and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans
11:25 am
include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2019, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved and estimated 7,800 dollars on average on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. dental and vision coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans, and you get telehealth coverage with a zero dollar co-pay. you get all this for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas, and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network, to find out if you can save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. humana - a more human way to

healthcare. wall street is taking a backseat again in the latest partnership with stripe. our kate rooney explains hi, kate >> hi, carl. big banks were hoping to win the battle for the next generation of customers the so far, they're having more success being the back office for more innovative tech platforms. this time it's with stripe the $36 billion payments giant
11:27 am
is teaming up with goldman sachs, citi, barclay's and evolve to offer banking service to the customers the announcement is the latest a string of the big marriages we had google and citi a few weeks ago and apple and goldman sachs with the apple card, this is a big shift for the industry as the banks move behind the scenes in the partnerships, banks are becoming service providers and rely on stripe and google for distribution as arc analyst put it, they're becoming detached from any true customer interaction he says they command less leverage and smaller share of the economics. the new catch phrase for this is banking as a service they're calling it bass. similar to sas or software as a service. they say the industry could risk losing up to 40% of its $1.4 trillion in revenue due to price competition and missing out on branding for the deals. but it could be offset by a
11:28 am
flood of new deposits. shopify works with more than 6,000 merchants will be the first to rollout this banking service for its customers next year the co-founder describes it though as a win-win. he says stripe's intent is to be "shockingly effective in customer acquisition and getting the banks many, many more customer deposits. i also spoke to citi ceo of consumer banking around their launch with google they expect a lot more of the tie-ups going forward as traditional banking is evolving. carl, back to you. >> kate, i just got to jump in here you had me stuck at banking as a service. wasn't banking already a snfs. >> a service >> bas banking as a service, as you know, software is a service. they were a service. but they also were facing the customer way more closely tied to that chust relationship and they become a back end more of a service provider. it's just probably another catch phrase but one to throw around if
11:29 am
you're look forg some new banking jargon >> kate, thank you bas, we'll toss that one around for a while. let's get a news update. >> here's your cnbc upday. new research giving new insight into the racial gaps surrounding kidd a new study from nyu found that once hospitalized, black patients were less likely to get severely ill or die. experts say the findings suggest minorities are not more susceptible to poor outcomes from the disease austria, long lines as mass testing has begun. it is part of efforts to speed up the loosening of current lockdown restrictions. back in the u.s., a massive fire at a michigan marina smoke from the boat storage warehouse could be seen for miles. so far no injuries have been reported and with her song "dreams"
11:30 am
back in the charts after featured in a viral video, music legend stevie nicks is catching in on the song catalog she sold an 80% stake for about $80 million to music publisher primary wave back over to you, carl >> thank you very much ncht keep an eye on pager duty today. wow, shares up 20% have to go back a year and a half to see levels this high after the big beat ja nt.talk to the ceo jennifer tedaexstay with us
11:31 am
11:32 am
11:33 am
pagerduty shares is on a rise you can see the maintenance is up 26% joining us now exclusively is pageduty ceo general tejada. good to see you. i can't help but note when we had you on after earnings, stock went down. as of right now, i think it's up some 54% from that level of around $26 a share >> i think investors are responding to the positive momentum in our business what we really saw this quarter is product to market fit with our new ai and automation solutions.
11:34 am
meaning the market's readiness to take on strategic initiatives to support their imperatives that are really driven by this one way door we walk through to be totally digital and those imperatives are cloud adoption, digital acceleration and devops transformation. thaez are long term tail winldz for our business our net dollar retention, dollar base retention went up to 119% that is off strong expansion in mid market enterprise where we saw big deals return to the pipeline and really a lot of the large deals were done on our digital operations management plan which is really the platform with our strategic ai driven solutions. >> let's make sure they understand what you do you said in the earnings call that four of the five largest
11:35 am
software companies in the world expanded on pagerduty in the quarter to accelerate the devops transformation essentially, you are an early warning system inside the i.t. operation. telling people when things are broken or about to break so they can go fix the customer and end user experience. right? so is this move, this transformation that we're talking about in salesforce, slack, et cetera, part of what is also driving adoption of pager duty >> i think you're seeing two really important trends in the market one is that because everybody's business is trans acting online, digital operations has become super important in terms of ensuring the business can meet its customers expectations but also do it in a cost effective way. so pager duty not only communicates about issues that are happening, it uses software to automate everything from the diagnosis to the orchestration of that work to the right teams across a business and teams are
11:36 am
now didn now distributed. we're automating the resolution. we real why i hope that customers can get a handle on the incidents that can cost over half a million dollars a minute if you don't get innocent frof them that really is the future work and that's where sas platforms like ours that are real zwrind for the user, the employee as if they were a consumer really easy to use, very quick to get value. you can be up and running on pager duty in minutes. and we publish some research that would tell you can get pay back in two months and 800% roi with over three million dollars of manual value from pagerduty implementation so this really important for our customers. >> so with the customers you
11:37 am
already have, let's talk penetration. how much more opportunity is there for you to expand within those customers if you're already in some big ones and then how much of that growth is coming from that share of wallet expansion with existing customers versus new customers who you are bringing onboard >> look, fwheer a very early market if you by this clued cloud migration and devops transformation, many of the larger customers are still just getting started. and we don't have a single customer that is sold out because our platform can now be leveraged across development, i.t., customer service, and other parts of the business. so we often start in the developer community, the people who own customer facing apps grow into i.t., into security, into customer service. and then add new products as we go forward so there is a lot up side and opportunity. >> well, fwheer cloud week on "squawk alley. we're closing that out
11:38 am
want to kn i want to know looking forward what you are investing in as a ceo? i imagine it is probably not, you know, capital xpenexpenditus being a software company it is mostly in people what is -- what is the strategic asset that you are trying to build up right now internally? >> well, our company is built on talent i have to say, i love that we have a cloud week. if you would have asked me ten years ago if there was a cloud week, i wouldn't have believed it i love that. i'm so proud of how our teams have come together and we're in solving problems for those employees that want to help us so that is number one for us the move to remote work has really helped us break down the barriers to find talent in all kind of places that maybe we wouldn't have looked before. and to create access for people that want to have careers in sas
11:39 am
and work in such an innovative space. >> all right, jen tejada with pagerduty stock now up more than 25%. fresh 52-week highs on the backs of earnings. great to you have with us on "squawk alley. >> great to see you. stay well. >> you too >> meantime, a renowned researcher at google says she was abruptly fired by the company and that's brought some industry wide criticism to alphabet jennifer alias joins us to talk about the story. walk us through what the circumstances were here. >> yeah. so we first found out about this because the renowned researcher at alphabet and really industry wide in artificial intelligence community had started tweeting a couple nights ago that she was abruptly fired and that drew a lot of attention to what happened because she is very well known. you know, so after that a few more details started coming out
11:40 am
shechlt clai she claims she was terminated because of an e-mail she sent to an employee resource group which basically aired out her concerns about leadership wanting to retract a research paper she had and aired out concerns about their diversity and inclusion efforts and, you know, abruptly her devices just got turned off. so, you know, she was starting to vocalize about. that she wanted a discussion about being terminated that got a huge reaction from people at the company and industry and, you know this is someone who is really well known. it's not just an average google employee >> i wonder if you degree. it is sort of the collision of a couple different on going stories. one, of course, is the pressure on big tech especially to
11:41 am
diversify their employee base. but also particularly at alphabet, a workforce whom we've come to learn is vocal about a number of things >> that's right, carl. the reason that the outrage is so big right now is that it's a culmination of three major things that are issues that alphabet has had with the workforce. the you have the issue of ai and ethics there is a clash of employees and leadership over how the company is using the artificial intelligence, racial recognition, military use and that's been, you know, a controversy over the last few years. you know, fast forward to we had 2018 global lockout where employees protested the company's handling of treatment of women and sexual harassment claims and we saw settlement landmark settlement from that in
11:42 am
september. so, you know, there's that and then you have the issue raised so being one of the very few actual, you know, black managers at google and for this to happen to her in the way she described where the company that already had issues with diversity was, you know, brought all of that to light. and post george floyd, the company has been the first tech company to come out and say, you know, we want to do better we want to listen to our employees more we have a lot of work to do. you know, we're going to give $175 million to black businesses, increase our leadership by 30% and so it's culmination of that. and that's something that she actually mentioned saying this say pattern of something she and other black employees have experienced ted company and, you know, kind of saying that's lip
11:43 am
service if you will. >> sure. sure now we'll watch for further developments on it jennifer, thank you. talking alphabet today we'll watch uber today as well they ask to consider the drivers as essential workers in terms of distributing any potential vaccine. we'll get the latest on that story as well on cnbc.com. we're back in a moment

>> a lot of people are like if tiktok is banned, i'm done this was fun i wasn't ablg to make money off it i have seven million followers i guess it was fun follow me on instagram like i'm going to college but for a lot of people like me who are graduated who have work experience and i do this full time now, it's like i'm lucky in the fact that i have managed to diversify my platforms so if tiktok does go away, that will be my biggest platform taken away but, you know, people will migrate. i feel like it's a very individual case. so the most important thing, and we saw it. the day that the press release came out that is like trump is on air force one and about to ban tiktok everyone is like follow me on instagram. >> i recognized her when i saw
11:47 am
her tasting it that is a tiktok influencer. sitting down with our influencer producer brendan gomez onwhat tiktok ban here in the u.s. could mean for contact creators like her six million tiktok followers, three million on youtube and instagram and half million on twitter. carl, i have to know actually, are you on tiktok and do you drink kombucha >> no on both. but the kids are a different story on the tiktok front. i adore her. she has so much presence and thanks to brandon gomez for doing that interview that was good stuff. fantastic as we talk about tiktok as a business and a notion but there is actual human beings behind the content as we know.

you probably hate some of the technology that's in your workplace. our next guest says -- it's good
11:51 am
to have you. welcome. >> thank you >> the piece is great. you really present this puzzle it's different priorities, whether it's employers, the bills or your workers, who actually end up using the product. >> that's exactly it, products like slack and dropbox are predicated on the idea that the technology that's going to win in the workplace is the technology you and i want to use as workers it's not necessarily true. software is eventually sold as a boss and they have different priorities they want what's easy to buy, cheap, has other security features that you and i might not care about that's often at odds with
11:52 am
technology that's easy and good to use for the rest of us. >> you talk about, i love this line, the half truth of the empowered worker and you sort of tie it to slack, which was hugely popular among the rank and file say they ended up selling out, is how you put it. i wonder how you think about slack and how you're using it as a lens to talk about this bigger issue. >> in a way it kind 's kind of a bummer because i like to use slash and dropbox and air table and good to use for the rest of us workers but again, the companies that win, particularly in workplace technologies are the companies that effectively sell technology to bosses, to hospital administrators, to restaurant chain owners, to people in suits and ties in that way, a lot hasn't changed since the old days when we thought of companies like
11:53 am
oracle and sap and microsoft and yelling into car phones and playing golf and having steak with workplace i.t. managers >> it's an interesting approach. i might disagree you're essentially declaring the end of premium companies will offer a free version and show management they're more productive on our product and the enterprise will adopt it are you saying that's gone as far as it can go and it's the sales organization that have control of premium, no longer work in the enterprise >> i think that's a good point i do agree with that that is still a very powerful force, that idea that you and i can try something alone or in small
11:54 am
taemgs or t teams or classic case of developers buying amazon web services and eventually convincing their bosses that it's worth buying for the whole company or for their whole team. but i do think there are limits to that approach, to that premium approach because again, eventually a boss has to buy something and if the boss is the customer, then what you and i like as consumers takes a back seat. >> on a week where benioff gave a great interview to the "times," what do you think is their process? although they run these large companies now, at one time they were young entrepreneurs and young developers doesn't they remember what it's like to have to use this stuff day to day
11:55 am
