Also some tech m a. Oracle buying netsuite for 9. 3 billion in cash. That makes it the second biggest acquisition ever. Thats behind the 10 plus billion dollar acquisition just over ten years ago. Just had a conversation with people familiar with oracle speaking on this and i was wondering right now because larry and his Family Organization connected to him own about 40 of netsuite. This deal looks more expensive than oracle has been paying for cloud acquisition. So why do this now . It turns out if you look at what oracle has been up to over the past couple of years, they have been building out cloud infrastructure. Paying a lot of money for the Data Center Resources needed to become the Cloud Company that they want to be. They needed to get there before they could do this netsuite deal and make it flow and work and create the company and similar to if youre building out hotels you need to build the hotels before you can have the tenants actually make money. Thats something behind this. Also netsuite, because Larry Ellison invested in that Company Early on and had a close relationship with them, they used a lot of Oracle Technology over the years so part of the thinking is as part of oracle they wont have the cost to pay anymore for a lot of the infrastructure and the other technology that that suite has been paying for and overall in this cloud environment, we saw microsoft, linkedin. Were going to get amazons result tonight. Were seeing companies that are big in the cloud already trying to press that advantage. Not only through spending on capex but now trying to accelerate that growth through the certain kinds of acquisitions. If there is a master in integrating Big Companies after deals it perhaps, mike, is oracle but people soft which is the only bigger deal that they did took a long time to get approved because regulators love it. There may be scrutiny. Wasnt there a case two years agatha these companies agreed to operate in separate areas. Did things become too crowded as this space developed for them to maintain that kind of arms length. Thats a good question. Oracle intended to deal with larger customers. Netsuite but they do have them working on the same type of technology when it comes to Resource Planning and one could imagine that if oracle is looking at expanded internationally and domestically, maybe looking attackeling some industrial verticals. We wondered does that make a lot of sense . I would point out that tech m a in general, 360 year today and it seems to me that its one of those tail winds allowing this month to catch up to sectors. It also operates in a similar space and do you think thats the next one to get snapped up . Workday because its run by the people running people soft before oracle took it out in a hostile take over they have been careful to structure the company in such a way and its very difficult to take it out. Theyre very close with mark of sales force so thats one that you might look toward microsoft digesting linkedin. Its hard to see who is big enough. Certainly. On the heels of what has been a challenging year to say the least. The stock is moving higher by how much and lets go to San Francisco and he has an exclusive interview. Thank you for joining us. It seemed like the pressure now is really on go pro. You have to deliver big hit new products for the holidays. So new camera, new drone. Thats a lot on your plate. Why should investors believe, nick, that youre going to be able to pull this off. Well we have been doing it for 14 years. 13 of those 14 years and we didnt have enough new products and didnt have enough innovation and advancement proposition to consumers and we paid for it. And the back half of the year is loaded with the largest new product. Given the year you guys had a lot might have lost confidence in the ability of this Management Team to deliver now on the promise of all of these great products in the pipeline. Its like any sports team you can win every single championship every year. So when evaluating go pro its important to recognize we have been at this for 14 years. We have been successful. The brand is known for innovation. The customers love us the solution we deliver helping us capture and create and share compelling personal stories and our track record proves for itself. One year doesnt define a company or a Management Team. Well just have to wait a little bit longer until later this year. Talking about cameras theres an argument out there that this is becoming a saturated market. If you have a gopro and want one you already have one. Is it saturated or expanding . Its definitely expanding. And best buy target and walmart and the rate that our product is being off the shelf and suffered and we admitted last year we had too many products and we werent Strong Enough and we just now sold through that product and we should see revenue starting to rise. John, you had a question for nick here . Have you done what you planned to do when it comes to software to improve the User Experience and make gopros overall easier to use or is there a lot more to come . Theres a lot more to come but i think that were right where we hoped we would be this year and our acquisition of replay and apps really helped us accelerate our mobile strategy and in terms of desktop and Cloud Development all coming together for the 4th quarter and turn to Software Development were where we want to be but the experience today is not what we have planned for our customers later in the year. Nick, talking about other products in the pipeline, obviously lots about that drone but its interesting because youre entering a market here. Its an early market but a market with big names and clearly names with a lot of Brand Recognition already. What do you do to up end and redefine that . Whats your competitive advantage there . We so early days in the drone market. Its only been a couple of years that drones have been pop culture and one of our strengths is that gopro is a household name i dont think you can call them a household name so we have an advantage there and in terms of the User Experience how easy a drone is to use, theres so much room for improvement and thats our sweet spot and i think that gopros ability to deliver karma as an easy out of box experience that customers can have success with right away are well positioned to be positioned with karma out of the gates. When you talk about the improvements you need to make to the drone from the time it launched this year what feedback, what have they told you about the price of the product that will work this time around . This year we changed our go to Market Strategy a bit in terms of how early we share information about our new products with retailers. In previous years gopro was more secretive about our new products and we didnt share any new information until right before a launch and this year we changed that because we have to be a better partner around the world and Work Together with joint marketing plans to have the biggest possible launch for our new products later in the year and were doing that this year and the feedback that were getting about our new products whether its karma or our hero five line of cameras has been fantastic and validated our own believes about how these products are going to do in the marketplace. And especially in asia, china, japan, india, in the second half how do you keep that momentum going . When we went public in 2014 we shared that we were anywhere from 1 to 4 years behind internationally. Far more advanced than europe and asia and latin america for example and we said we needed to go and build teams and get people on the ground locally in those regions and begin localizing our Marketing Efforts and thats all bearing fruit this year and thats why were seeing the growth rates weve got and now the teams are starting to be effective in their home regions. All right. Thank you for your time today. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Back to you guys in new york. Thank you josh. Meanwhile, markets are sitting near the lows of the session.

And here is the ceo on the Conference Call last night talking about whats next for the company. Ten years ago most of what we shared was online and most of it will be videos. We see a world that is video first. Over the past six months we have been particularly focused on live video. How it compares to the other tech heavyweights and Daniel Morgan senior portfolio manager. Gentlemen, thank you for being with us this morning. Start with you, facebook, the way i see it and and its a high bar for google which is the other big dog in Digital Advertising and this is like apple in the hayday of the iphone. What do we take away from this . Just a staggering quarter. Staggering. And the amount of the advertising spending that facebook is capturing of all that is moving online, advertising spending doesnt grow that quickly and a company of this size, growing 70 in the u. S. And the other thing is were just beginning at the end of the video and were talking about ad load and theres so many levers. They had instagram and just a spectacular performance. Trying to get people not to expect this performance the rest of the year. Given the fact that they were so sound in this quarter, do you buy it . Are they trying to sandbag at this point . Or are they really going to see a gross slow down at the back half of this year based on the tough comps . It gets tougher Going Forward. If you look at advertising revenue expectations in terms of total growth you look at a 14 to 15 growth rate. And obviously and maybe were not going to go 73 or 76 growth in ad revenue in terms of their mobile Going Forward so i think theyre trying to cast those down a little bit just because theyre hooking at the overall situation and they dont want to get the street too far ahead of them. And its like what apple used to do i guess. Starting to look at the ad revenue against what the New York Times reported today. Decline in print and digital revenue. Digital falling for the Second Quarter in a row. Wasnt facebook supposed to lift the advertising boat for print with instant articles . Is facebook now an enemy of publishing . Not an enemy but you have two dominant platforms. Google and facebook, snapchat is emerging. Linkedin is doing fine but twitter is solved but a huge percentage. Something like 85 to 90 of all spending is going to google and facebook and so ultimately, if facebook can share some of that advertising revenue with publishers and producers which they have started to do, then you start to evolve toward a cable and Cable Network model which is the model that most media had. Facebook is not an enemy and that is the future. It is huge. So lots of opportunity there. Oracle making a 9. 3 million cloud bet announcing this morning purchase of netsuite. Thats a 19 premium to yesterdays Closing Price and the deal is the second largest in oracles history. I wonder what your take is on all of this. Oracle likes to talk about not plead guilty willing to pay a premium and just where we are in the m a cycle overall. You see a lot of action across lots of different sectors. Semiconductors, microsoft, linked in. All kinds of stuff. What is the importance of this . Its oracle is playing catch upright now a little bit compared to lets say work day or sales force in term of trying to acquire their way into the cloud. They were not as aggressive as maybe microsoft was with office 365 initially but theyre kind of growing into it and trying to take a commanding position there but youre right. We had a tremendous amount of acquisitions. You mention linked in and microsoft. Thats giving buoyancy to tech underall thats been slightly underperforming compared to s p. You can see this coming from a mile away. Given the ownership stake allison had made sense. There is one report out yesterday that there is a cold water here. Plead guilty an analyst is hard and handicapping the intention of certain buyers threw some cold water on the idea that oracle was up 9 yesterday. And exten yin you waiting circumstances but it does point out the concerns and risks to oracle of paying up at this level. And it goes along with it. And having to pay up for the future and buying the future and paying a good premium for that. This is the way they bought their way into the ad market. They did well in that. And now theyre moving into cloud. Its a good deal. And then for work day and the cloud upstart on the other either who maybe dont have the scale or dont have the cloud momentum to compete. Well any time theres a Pig Technology wave shift like this you have both the Old Companies buying up some of the new ones and some new once get to the scale where they are the consol day tos and acquirers and the industry is going to consolidate. Theres no question about that. They both have great positions. Sales force is so big it could consolidate as well but there will be more combination. A quick last word for dan is knowing that, do you buy into this space thinking that there are going to be more deals or do you get worried that valuations that acquirers would have to pay for the companies are getting into that territory . Well, we own a lot of the stocks that were talking about today. Sales force are extremely interesting because of the fact that theyre probably next on the table for one of the big players to scoop them up so again youre right. Valuations are an issue with those two stocks. Its sometimes hard to substantiate where theyre trading at. Sales force became profitable last quarter put were definitely taking a hard look at those names because obviously theyre extremely positioned well and probably one of the Fastest Growing areas software and service compounding the growth rate is 34 so you want to be positioned in that group if youre an investor trying to get in the cloud. Right. Tech looking like a game of hungry, hungry hippos these days. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, i want to direct your attention to crude oil. Its down another percent and a half. Down 20 from its highs and thats all come in the last month. Trading at 3134. It was just about 50 a month ago. This has been this quite pressure on the overall market. It has not really spilled over into being a broader point of weakness in the stock market although now youre starting to see the high yield market give up a little bit of that strength it had for the last couple of months. That was where crude oil meets the stock market is through the junk bond market so it softened up a little bit here. Definitely worth watching. Conoco phillips disappointing again today. Its one thing that was working after the february 11th low in the markets and backed off steeply here. 45 to 50 in the sweet spot and we have come away from there. When we come back, marriott out with solid earnings. A look inside the quarter with the ceo in a cnbc exclusive and take a look at the Bio Pharma Company that fell hard on its debut yesterday.
