is there more m&a? erik: i think it is a lot at once.veryone will look towards building based business but also adding on to acquisitions to fill gaps. that is that is what we are doing in seeds. we announced an important acquisition for us in brazil and argentina. we are looking for technology companies to enhance our digital capabilities. lots of new stuff is happening in the digital world. we are venturing and partnering with companies. and we are looking for acquisitions. it will be more targeted at gaps we havelling geographically or technology wise, to continue to strengthen our number one position in crop protection and strengthen our number three position in seeds. vonnie: the relationships between free trade countries the world over is changing radically. i wonder how that will affect syngenta, particularly when you look at the u.s. and tbp, for example. agriculturalrs of products from the united states is very important. the farmer in the united states is the most productive in the world. first were. new technologies. has a lot

could be entering the next phase of the m&a cycle. a report, u.s.cutives are expecting the deals market to return to normalized levels after a flurry of to mistake m&a activity over the past couple of years. jason kelly joins us with more. jason: thank you so much. , viceere with bill casey chair of transaction advisory .ervice the report you just put out is talking about where the m&a market is. a lot of the talk this week is about qualcomm. what are we to make of that from a sector respective or an enthusiasm for deals perspective? coming off last week's largest tech deal ever, our barometers showed that 73% of executives believe this is a healthy and stable market. in fact, as we saw last week, companies that are over $5 billion in revenue, 74% are expected to do deals. combine that with coming off two quarters of 3% gdp growth. overall, the global economy is doing really, really well. 63% of respondents feel the corporate earnings are improving, combined with all the other great fundamentals we have seen in the market. we are expecting an uptick

is there m&a as well >> what did you do today >> today is not a need for the market doing anything. the financials continue to do interesting. there's bottom fishing to be done in the retail sector. emerging markets have settled into a place where they continue to outperform every time we get a settling in on rates in the dollar if you don't believe we're getting this fiscal policy, the dollar can't get a lot better. >> i added to a spy short, i think i told viewers, i also took a little profit in bitcoin which is more than kind of lapped up by losses. i added to an smh, a semiconductor etf, short when nvidia turns, that will take a breather. >> the russell iwm, if they don't like -- if russell doesn't like the tax reform in the small caps, you'll see it in the iwm number two, we talked about for one the chance for tesla to trade to 280, 292 today. i still think it has more room to the downside. you mentioned the homebuilders i think they threw home depot into that mix, etf, i don't know, but -- >> there was research out about those guys that maybe amazon was gaining ground in their

we've seen a time of really big m&a deals in the past few weeks. think what is going to be interesting here is that broadcom is contemplating taking this hostile. we haven't really seen a big hostile m&a situation -- emily: we just had this same conversation on bloomberg radio. let me ask you. help us understand what is different about the chips that qualcomm makes and the products that broadcom makes. >> the overlap is in the phone. if you connect to a cellular network, you are using a qualcomm chip. if you connect to your home internet using wi-fi, you are probably using a broadcom chip. obviously, some similarities but not quite the exact same thing. broadcom is very big in what is called switches, little chips that send information around data centers between computers. cory: it sounds like broadcom's emphasis on moving information from mobile phones and qualcomm more on the receipt of that information and the processing. ian: that's a good way to look at it. what is important here is how that is going to factor in to the considerations that reg

. >> more details are emerging in what could be the largest tech m&a deal ever. s prepared for a tough proxy fight with indications the did for qualcomm will be rejected. this deal is going to be tough by all measures. >> this is not a to company deal. is buying brocade and qualcomm is buying in xp. actually an index p qualcomm deal. lot,ere is not a staggeringly. therecomplicated because is substantial cost cuts that are coming out of the equation. several segments that may have to be jettisoned due to get the regulatory approvals. qualcomm isn't particularly happy with the fact that they only got a 29% premium, so they might angle for more. >> another change of leadership at the fed today, announcing the president bill deadly would resign in mid-2018. >> to do a search, you have to be public. it's public now. a big loss and i think he's been influential in the way he's conducted the work of the new york fed. he's been a very good vice chair. >> what do we do about the fed overall? >> he is someone familiar with the plumbing of the market because the new york fed

m&a is still a big, big thing. alix: a huge thing.e can help you do that. i'm an investor and i want to play in the market, what do i do? icyhe positive one is the ticker m&a. alix: right. [laughter] >> this is basically a watered-down version of true m&a . it goes long on the target company and shorts in this case the whole market. premium that exists that the deal might fall through. by doing that you are collecting a little bit of return with a low volatility stream. the difference for the m&a take partially hedges. it would short the acquiring company and they would basically have net zero long position. areas,t of etf quantitative, they take it true strategy and add some more beta into it. something more correlated to the market. but advisers especially like that. , it not true, but beta tries to harvest the returns from the deals. alix: the equity tends to go up, as well as the target, disney hitting a two-month high, for example. has that changed the returns for the etf's? that going eric: -- -- eric: going up, they would feel

. >> what's it say about overall not just maybe this particular deal, but broadcom's overall m & a appetiteere does it end? at what point would their appetite be sated? >> well, it's a great question for them but listen, i think they've been very complicit, they believe there are a host of semiconductor companies, qualcomm is just a big one, that are run inefficiently with a high optics structure. qualcomm has a 15% m & a structure, broadcom has 4% they believe it's logical to play the consolidator. if they have the deal done, the only thing to look up to would be intel and samsung at that point. >> john, i was going to ask you, because i know you've been covering this long running battle between qualcomm and apple, it appears from a lot of the analysts' reports, like these guys we're talking to, that they deal view this deal favorably. do you see that? >> yeah. i mean, because -- >> broadcom has the relationship >> right in order for this to make sense as an investor, you have to believe that qualcomm's licensing model is outdated, that somehow the apples of the world have the leverage and

for more on the deal and the broader m&a aspect, we are joined by bob. or business. cash.tely we mean is that a story that can continue? it is a positive, it is probably going to continue. it's about the vast amount of energy that still exist despite this far into the cycle, how much cash there is on the sideline with incorporations, individuals, foreigners. the last i checked, the return on cash was not are from zero. the upward movement in risk slowly drying-- the money and. alix: we've seen a huge run. you can see what they have done. the blue line is the infotech level versus the white line. you can see the rating we have done in the last two weeks. the bottom panel is the difference between the overall tech sector. out nownot seen it move as we have. this is the best farming sector in the text area. bob: there's no question tech valuations are up, but earnings are up and sent my earnings and valuations are up. i would not put some eyes at the highest -- semis at the highest. you have to be overweight technology, look out strong the earnings of an acr

christopher: no, he's not a big m&a guy. dered a candidate was the head of strategic planning at disney. he is the architect of a lot of -- big deals like lucid film lucasfilm and marvel and all that. he does not have the operational experience that chapek does. he has run two of the largest divisions and proven himself at that. that was always something critical in the succession process. iger would move people around to give him that experience of managing people. vonnie: thanks. julie: chris is our los angeles bureau chief for merger news. vonnie: it is time now for a latest bloomberg business flash. a look at the biggest business stories in the news right now. oark capital is raising its bid for buffalo wild wings. they are offering $155 a share. that would value the restaurant chain i close to $2.4 billion. the opening bid surfaced around november 13. the firm owns arby's and investment chains like carvel and cinnabon. shakeup at teva pharmaceuticals with three senior executives leaving at the end of the. they will merge

so this is broadcomm coming in and kind of shaked that thing up a little bit m&a was a big driver thisector, 2015, 2016, there was hundreds of billions of dollars in the semiconductor space the rumor of this deal is kind of interesting especially when the sector has massively outperformed technology as a whole, the etf that tracks the semiconductor sector is up 43% year to date, the s&p is up 15%. to me, i think you really want to look out to some sentiment, guys nvidia reports next week, the implied move is 8% in either direction. it's $10 million on a stock up 100% year to date. things are getting a little frothy real quickly, we've been talking over the last month, intel is a stock up 30 something percent in two months, this was a stock left for dead, the second largest holdings in the smh. it's setting up for a period when we're going to get consolidation and possibly giveback >> intel is still cheap, when everything else is going to the moon the nxpi deal, that thing is trading over the deal price. qualcomm has agreed to acquire them for $110 per share, it's trading closer to $120

to be on the m a there are a few other firms and agencies preparing to leave london after brock's it to that includes the banking regulator which could foreshadow which city will become the blocks new financial hub r.t. correspondent peter oliver has more on that from berlin. with sixteen months to go until brags that the european union has already decided where it will be moving its london based agencies with votes from the twenty seven remaining e.u. states tied to. slovenia abstained in protest over representative saw as a bias against eastern and central european countries. to be drawn from above and the witness would be the new home of the european banking authority or. not could give the french capital an edge over of the e.u. five senses should we see something of a bricks that exists and banks looking to relocate the french president said he was very happy with the decision so what about frankfurt the whole of the european central bank seems to many like a natural choice but there is this vote couldn't have come a day would time for germany. old lots left and in no position t

when i look at the market right now, m&a is very expensive. is not great opportunity to do some of the things we have done in the past. i do think we are going earlier stage. tinder is a perfect example. it's a business that was started in iac as a pure incubation. erik: what's the next tinder? joey: i wish i knew. i don't think we know that right now. we are in a few categories starting to build or shortly will start to build things we think have that kind of potential. erik: can we talk a bit about that, peer into the future? the technology that is driving the businesses you are in today is getting a little long in the tooth. the internet became commercially viable 20 years ago. smartphones are 10 years old already. that's when we saw the first iphone. i wonder and i think a lot of other people wonder, when you do do the next tinder, let's call it, what's the enabling technology? you would think it has to be something that is kind of exciting now, ai, autonomous driving, vr. where are you prospecting? joey: i think about it more simply than t

. >> paul, is the next leg up going to be from m & a because there seems to be a lot of actual m & aempts or rumored in the market over the past few days. does the market need those things to come through to justify some of the levels >> that's part of what could drive the markets higher certainly, and we definitely agree with jonathan that the economy is quite solid, we see it broadening and we like the synchronized recovery around the world. so, yeah, that could be another move, another way to drive the market higher, but we are looking for first a pull back of some size as we think liquidity will have to be re-evaluated going forward. the fed will be one factor to look at, but just a general growth of liquidity here in this country is going to become less positive going forward, we think. >> you're talking balance sheet or what specifically do you mean >> we mean what you might think of as economic liquidity that has been slowing and we think it eventually reaches a level where people have to be more cautious with cash and then you'll begin to see some more interesting choices bei

with these tech frenzies and ipo, a lot of the m&a activity has been fueled by these tech giants like you see the trend continuing? >> i do. i think there is a lot of m&a likely to happen next year, certainly in the u.s. with tax reform coming. also think companies in china are looking to make acquisitions as well. they have great currencies, great financial resources. regulatory issues can get in the way of some of that and we are seeing some in certainty. in the u.s., it is hard to predict as well. , and islittle bit hard not a lot of clarity has out these -- as to how these regulatory agencies are in evaluating deals, creating hasn't and see, but once that -- settlesy, but once that down, we will see cross-border activity pickup. to early to say it is a coming-of-age when it comes to chinese tech? >> i think that paradigm shift was a long time ago. i think the world is picking up on that and getting talked about more than it had been before. i arrived in hong kong over the weekend to singles' day on saturday, a phenomenal success of that event for alley, is mind-boggling -- alibaba

state senator scott weiner is renewing his effort to change last call in california from 2 a-m to 4 a-miled to pass the legislature earlier this year. kron 4's charles clifford has the details. natslast call in california has been 2am for decades. but state senator scott weiner believes that one size fits all rule is outdated and that there are real financial and social benefits to moving closing time to back 4 a-msot night life if part of our culture. live music, dancing, this is part of who we are. it also generates an enourmous number of jobs, middle class jobs, where people can afford to raise their families so we should support that sector. after weiner's first attempt at changing the law, sb 384 , died in committee earlier this year , the senator reworked the plan. including making one key change.sotthis time we are limiting it to the six cities who expressed interest in going past two a.m.those cities include san francisco, oakland, sacramento, west hollywood, los angeles and long beach. if the bill becomes law, those cities would be able to decide for themselves how the 4 a-m la

one was that he's planning on doing a lot more m & a, though they haven't done much in the past, and, two, that we should expect to see them layering on some software and services on top of that core infrastructure product, and i would expect if those were patterned after some of the competitors that could add profitability on top of what they have already got. do you have all of that in your model already, or is that something that tweaks how you look at aws? >> you know, for the most part we look at the margin structure at aws as being, you know, highly leveraged it's a fixed cost type of business, and when -- and when revenue does well, all that incremental revenue tends to fall to the bottom line. the aws operating margin in q3 was pretty strong at 26% which is what we're modeling for next year also. you know, that's a huge profit margin compared to amazon in general. we estimate that aws is going to be over 60% of amazon profits for the next several years, so when amazon talks about doing some m & a and layering in some more software services, you know, it's really just increment

>> yeah, that's coming back. >> this also has broader implications for the m&a landscape. we've seen a bubbling up lately of merger and acquisition activity and talks about it. but i'd refer even to greg, ceo of liberty media talking about the possibility of this deal being blocked and what it would means for those thinksing about consolidation in the media industry and even in other industries >> participants and observers have to watch and say what are the rules of the road. this is out of left field. yes, the president had tweeted some things but the head of the antitrust division had suggested there were no problems i think this is kinds of a surprise to a lot of people. >> who does it hurt? the cord cutting alone should make them feel like maybe this isn't a good idea. cord cutting. >> they make the argument at doj the proliferation of the over the top compilations we talked to sof ten about, they can withhold content from them and make them less -- >> like a sling, for example. >> and therefore that would be anti-competitive so they can hurt the creation of that new e
