when micron speaks, investors listen. one of the biggest semiconductor makers in the world, counting china's huawei as a big client as well. micron tech ceo sanjay mehrotra on what's driving the turnaround. let's get to that. after a year where there was so much confusion about trade, shifting under our feet about where you could manufacture, where you couldn't, what's happening with china, what's happening right now in your world? >> nice to be back on your show. in our world, in the world of semiconductor, these are exciting times. these are the best times ever. i have been in this industry for 40 years and we are coming down from a slowdown in the industry, but when you look at the end market demand drivers, 5g driving for the smartphone. the trends of ai, acquiring more memory and more storage, the new server architecture is actually enabling higher density memory and all these trends are requiring more memory, more stora storage. autonomous features in the cars requires more sensors in the car, requires more memory i

that includes micron. micron's ceo.efore i get into some of the specific announcements, talk to me broadly about where you think we are in some of these chip memory prices? sanjay: with respect to the chips, we have said that 2020 should be a good year for the industry. in our industry, because of the capex reductions, the supply growth has been slower. 5g, ai, all such as data, toare driving store that data and process that data. itson is expanding portfolio solutions. we are well-positioned for 2020. we are excitedly looking forward to 2020. 2019, micron produced excellent results. strong execution on the part of micron with respect to product portfolio and technology. taylor: analysts on the street, namely some from cowan, upgrading the stock, saying that new smartphone launches should tighten the supply up. does that affect your thinking as you look to supply in 2020? isjay: the supply growth less than demand growth and demand continues to exceed given the markets such as cloud, smartphones. increasingly, autonomous

micron, qualcomm, verizon. tesla ceo elon musk cuts a rug after delivering the first customer cars from the shanghai factory. shares touch a record high. this week brought increased tensions between the u.s. and iran. a military strike in baghdad and -- in baghdad took out one of iran's top generals. they responded by launching missiles at u.s. interests in iraq, roiling the markets and creating new fears of cyber warfare. cybersecurity firms like cloudflare were up this week as a result. i was joined by the director of strategic threat at an ai security firm. >> there is a significant distinction between iran's battlefield capabilities and where they are on the cyber front. they are never going to go toe to toe with the united states in this realm in a conventional battle. in the cyber realm, they have a greater chance of pushing back more dramatically and having a greater impact in the united states, so even though they have not gone that route in terms of immediate reprisal, it is not out of the question tha

taylor: that was micron ceo sanjay mehrotra.s for qualcomm, it unveiled the first chips and software for fully autonomous vehicles at ces on monday. qualcomm's president spoke with bloomberg about what he calls the company's natural extension into this space. cristiano: we are very excited to expand our automated offering. we believe that the cars are going to have to process so much data. it requires so much processing capabilities. you much, it is going to require a completely different equation about power. and coming from the cell phone industry, we actually have the ability to do chips. they are very efficient, from a power standpoint. you cannot run a data center out of the trunk of your car, and i think that is where the real opportunity is for qualcomm. we unveiled, today, our solutions from all the way from level one to level four+, which is autonomy. more importantly, we believe the real commercial opportunity will be to add autonomy to every car as a convenient feature with a driver behind the wheel, like cruise contr

and that worries me because micron is now 59 and change.m. that's long in the tooth but i think this will be an unusually strong semiconductor cycle because we have not one but two prongs, the iphone and the 5g it seems realistic micron to cake out a $62 high. the problem is most the other chip makers in the apple food chain have already exceeded their highs from the last cycle. that means buying them right here a high risk proposition that means apple has to guide higher and higher next week. the stock is barely moving it may trade down. i find the same way about the semiconductor capital equipment. after last night's smashing number frommer t er thterri web. we're worried about being greedy intel is roaring after the close, trading up 4 and change and driving a bend b up. i can't countenance buying either one up here amd for example reported a monster good quarter last time and the stock got hit. it got hammered. since then it's up nearly 20 points you need that again. why not wait for it. i have to say, the same thing about the data cent

take your business beyond. >>> chip stocks coming off a big year, nvidia, micron seeing gains. dpch leading that group. can the surge continue through 2020 how do you think about this group? what do you think is priced in in terms of strength and durability of the semi cycle >> investors anticipated a bottom, they bought stocks aggressively stocks retreat at five year valuation lows, sometimes seven year lows, it was up almost 60%. whether it can continue next year, i think it will. the main take away is any trade resolution, even sub optimal, will drive chip stocks higher for a couple of reasons. number one, business on the ground in china is pretty much frozen all of the companies i talk to that sell into china, nobody wants to build any inventory, they don't know what tariff rates will be. if you're a big chinese company or small company, you're not building territory then they'll start to rebuild. second thing, historically levels of distribution inventory. there's not a lot of excess inventory in the channel we saw a lot of significant order rate cuts starting in october o

micron up almost 8%, tyler >> the market's largely shaking off concerns about iran instead focusing on hopes for earnings season but are those expectations too high bob pisani has more. hi, bob. happy new year >> hi, tyler this is a very different market from this period last year last january, there were low expectations for stocks in 2019 and the market was cheap the s&p was at 13.9. that's below the historic norm fast forward now, 2020, the it's the opposite there's high expectations for 2020 stocks are expensive though. about 18 times forward earnings. apple is trading towards the higher end of its historic pe range. other companies seeing their pe ratios creep up lately include microsoft, alphabet, even jpmorgan and bank of america as well so what should investors do now? that's the big debate. should they go all in on the recovery theory? it's betting that a combination of a trade war truce, a neutral fed, a strong u.s. consumer and globaling bottom in the world economy is going to come together and the markets are going to move to new highs or should we hold back until the globa

taylor: those people in the room with the likes of executives from micron, qualcomm, ebay, and others. to discuss the implications, i talked to adam siegel, director of digital and cyberspace policy on the council of foreign relations in new york. in washington, bloombergs peggy collins. we have learned that the u.s. and china have taken the first peggy and china have taken the first step to negotiate some big : imports into the u.s. in terms of china promising to commit to buying of more u.s. products, as well as some concessions in terms of enforcement around intellectual property protection and patents, as you mentioned, so, essentially, china is saying we are committing to about $200 billion in additional product purchases from the u.s. in exchange for those reductions of tariffs, which we saw announced in december, where the u.s. did not go through with the december tariffs that were threatened, as well as it did a reduction of some tariffs that were put on in september, but some of the stickiest issues are still out there and awaiting a phase two deal that the administration say

question mark michel i should say as you were speaking there we saw the united states secretary of state micron peo walking into the chancellor and of course being greeted by german chancellor angela merkel and united nations secretary general antonio gutierrez. i want to ask you as we continue this. can germany and its european partners influence the peace talks as far as i'm concerned. well they certainly are major broker this is your of a front yard and this is also a question of diplomatic credibility after the iran nuclear deal is pretty much on its last leg it's certainly not functioning and the question is whether the europeans can finally find a common line we even have european countries supporting different actors in what threatens to become a proxy war on the ground in libya but there is a growing awareness here in europe that if libya descends further into chaos this could spark yet another wave of migration it already is a key port of departure for many migrants who leave for europe and many who do. why in the mediterranean there are atrocious reports from human rights when i see.

micron got upgrade.hese stocks at all-time highs, wall street still ratcheting up the share price target. i tell folks we're chasing fundamentals not necessarily stocks. >> i'm not so sure on micron. things like google, amazon, apple, the category killers, they have been proving themselves time in, time out and every now and then they have a quarter a little bit soft. they start coming back. if i had a dime for every person has been negative on these names, for ages, every time they they're weak for a couple months, i would be doubly rich at this point. all i can tell you is, the big institutional crowd are buying them here. i and i think you got some accelerating numbers in some of them. i'm a big believer in price, not in opinion. price is speaking about as loud and clear as i seen it in quite a while. charles: it is screaming right now. cody, great seeing you my friend. gary, great seeing. catch gary tonight.
