Today we had the distinct pleasure of hosting Mark Lashier, Chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. Mark joined Phillips 66 as President and COO in 2021 and assumed the CEO role in July 2022. Prior to that, he served as the President and CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem), where he held several senior leadership roles, including Executive Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins, Senior Vice President of Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics, and Vice President of Corporate Planning and Development. Mark began his career at Phillips Petroleum and holds a doctorate in Chemical Engineering. Beyond his leadership at Phillips 66, he serves on the Executive Committee of the American Petroleum Institute and is a Board Member of the Greater Houston Partnership and several other nonprofit organizations. Mike, Arjun and I were thrilled to host Mark for this Special Edition to discuss Phillips 66's recent performance, his strategic vision for the company, insights into today's energy landscape, and the ongoing debate with Elliott Management. In our discussion, Mark shares background on his career and transition to CEO, his early priority of addressing improvements in Phillip 66's refining segment, and the cultural transformation to re-instill pride and competitiveness amongst refiners, which involved engaging employees at all levels and investing in strategic capital projects to fix operational bottlenecks and improve reliability and earnings. We discuss Bob Pease's addition to the board, who was originally nominated through Elliott's engagement, and how he shifted from being skeptical to supportive of the company's strategy, execution, and focus on shareholder returns. We explore the history and structure of CPChem, the benefits of Phillips 66's integrated business model during times of volatility and potential downturns, and the company's industry-leading safety performance, which ties safety directly to employee compensation. Mark shares his perspective on why maintaining a diversified portfolio across refining, midstream, and chemicals is strategically and financially advantageous, as well as the optimization and regulatory advantages of an integrated structure. We touch on Phillips 66's strong ROCE versus peers, activist pressure to sell midstream assets for a higher multiple, growth across their midstream business, and broader global trends toward integration rather than asset breakups. Mark highlights the company's refining performance improvement, the rationale behind merging PSXP and DCP assets, efforts to attract generalist investors back to the energy sector by demonstrating consistent earnings, Phillips 66's philosophy of keeping assets “for sale every day” to ensure focus on shareholder value, and much more. We greatly appreciate Mark for sharing his candid insights into a complex and highly public debate. As you will hear, we reference a few items in the discussion. Phillip 66's Investor Relations presentation entitled “Delivering Value & Demonstrating Commitment,” released Monday, April 28, is linked here. Veriten's COBT episode featuring Doug Terreson is linked here. Thanks to Mark for joining us for an insightful discussion and thanks to you all for your friendship and support!
Southwest Airlines is in a major transition — layoffs, an activist investor, and a changing product.

De slaapapneu-affaire is goed en wel achter de rug, maar een nieuw probleem wordt alleen maar groter en groter. Want de bestellingen daar drukken ontzettend op de wereldwijde omzet. Onder aan de streep bleef er nog maar een groei van 1 procent over. En die problemen zijn nog lang niet voorbij. Topman Roy Jakobs durft zelfs niet te voorspellen wanneer Philips weer op de Chinese markt kan rekenen. En in het lopende kwartaal kan het ervoor gaan zorgen dat de inkomsten van Philips met zo'n 6 procent gaan afnemen. De topman blijft er nog redelijk positief onder, maar beleggers niet. Die laten het aandeel als een baksteen vallen. Wie er gelijk heeft, hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan hoor je ook over ING. De bank klaagt over een nieuwe concurrentiestrijd, waar ING niet op zaten te wachten. Het kan namelijk geen IT-personeel meer vinden omdat grote techbedrijven het talent voor de neus wegkapen. Die techbedrijven bieden bizarre salarissen, en daar kan ING van z'n lang zal ze leven niet aan tippen. We hebben het ook over de ECB. Beleggers rekenen nog op 3 renteverlagingen dit jaar, maar binnen de centrale bank gaan de eerste stemmen op om de verlagingen te pauzeren. En verder hoor je over Kentucky Fried Chicken dat straks z'n naam misschien niet meer waar maakt. Over Bumble die Gen Z niet aan het swipen krijgt. En over het langverwachte einde van een verhaal waar beleggers en journalisten geen genoeg van kregen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John is joined by Dennis Hranitzky, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office and Head of the firm's Sovereign Litigation Practice; Alex Loomis, senior associate in Quinn Emanuel's Boston office; and John Bash, partner in Quinn Emanuel's Austin office and Co-Chair of the firm's National Appellate Practice. They discuss sovereign debt litigation, particularly the challenges of enforcing judgments against sovereign entities, and the team's recent success executing on over $310 million in assets to enforce in judgments against Argentina. Dennis describes his decades-long history of enforcing judgments against Argentina, starting with a case for Elliott Management in 2002, where strategies like freezing Argentina out of capital markets and exposing corruption were key to recovery. The team's recent case focused on the collateral for Argentina's “Brady” bonds, instruments from the 1990s designed to make sovereign debt more tradable. The enforcement litigation was not over the collateral itself, but on Argentina's "reversionary interest" in the collateral. Alex explains how the team discovered and leveraged admissions from Argentina's SEC filings to identify attachable assets, including Argentina's reversionary interest in zero-coupon bonds held in New York and Germany. The legal arguments involved nuanced interpretations of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, including whether the reversionary interest qualified as commercial property subject to attachment and whether its situs (location) was in New York or Germany. John Bash describes the appellate process, in which the Second Circuit upheld the attachment, agreeing that Argentina's reversionary interest was a commercial asset located in New York. The discussion highlights the intellectual rigor required in such cases, involving intricate property law and sovereign immunity issues. The podcast concludes with reflections on Argentina's expected attempt to obtain review by the U.S. Supreme Court and the professional satisfaction the team derived from winning such a unique and challenging case.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insights on the airline industry's performance and future potential during an interview with Proactive. Highlighting the rebound in airline stocks, particularly through the Jets ETF, Holmes emphasized the strong revenue growth seen across the industry. Even with recession concerns, ticket prices have remained high, suggesting sustained demand. Holmes also discussed strategic moves within the sector, such as United Airlines' stock buyback and Elliott Management's investment in Southwest Airlines, reflecting strong investor confidence. He noted that airline stocks continue to trade at a significant discount relative to the broader market, despite record travel numbers. According to Holmes, this positions the industry for potential upside in terms of both revenue and cash flow. The Jets ETF, which provides exposure to global airlines and even airports, offers investors a unique opportunity to tap into the ongoing growth of the airline industry. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #jets #travel #colombia #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
“LMEs buy time for the sponsor, but I'm increasingly seeing that that's all it really does.” Jon Weber, founder of JFW & Co., doesn't mince words regarding the effectiveness of the popular restructuring strategy. Liability management exercises leave executives with a “sword of Damocles” over their heads, failing to really fix anything and with an aftermath that remains a management distraction, Weber told Bloomberg Intelligence's Phil Brendel, in October's feature interview for the State of Distressed Debt podcast. Weber shared his perspectives, honed at Icahn Enterprises, Goldman Sachs and Elliott Management, on running effective boards and companies post-reorganization (6:30). Prior to that, BI's Noel Hebert and Phil discussed the complete dearth of distressed-debt inventory, as the distressed ratio plummeted to a 5.2% 28-month low in September. The podcast concludes with BI's Negisa Balluku joining Noel and Phil for a roundtable discussion covering J&J's latest Talc news, Hertz make-whole appeal, Audacy, Yellow, Tupperware, Telesat and what qualifies as a consensual release these days (59:00). This podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Tras una abrumadora presión de los demócratas de alto rango, el presidente Biden abandonó su intento de reelección en un importante anuncio que muchos vieron venir. Ha respaldado a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris como nueva candidata presidencial del partido, a un mes de la Convención Nacional Demócrata y solo 100 días de las elecciones generales. Desde entonces, los presidentes estatales del Partido Demócrata han apoyado su candidatura, aunque otros demócratas destacados están pidiendo un proceso abierto para nominar a un candidato (¿posibles rivales?), mientras que otros probablemente esperarán hasta que elija a un compañero de fórmula. El Banco Popular de China se ha convertido en el último banco central en recortar las tasas de interés, una medida destinada a "fortalecer los ajustes anticíclicos para apoyar mejor a la economía real". La economía de China ha estado en dificultades últimamente, con la lectura más reciente del PIB por debajo de las estimaciones y las ventas minoristas de junio, aumentando al ritmo más lento desde diciembre de 2022. Durante el fin de semana, el país también dio a conocer planes para impulsar las finanzas de los gobiernos locales endeudados, transfiriendo más ingresos fiscales de las arcas centrales, luego del Tercer Pleno del gobernante Partido Comunista. Se espera que los ETF de Ethereum al contado (ETH-USD) comiencen a cotizar mañana, pero los operadores de criptomonedas parecen estar subestimando el impacto total de este lanzamiento tan esperado. Ether ha subido un 49% este año en medio de un repunte más amplio de las criptomonedas, pero su rendimiento ha sido pobre en relación con sus pares, según el analista sudafricano Richard Durant. Si bien la SEC aprobó los requisitos clave de los posibles emisores de ETF al contado, como BlackRock $BLK y VanEck, sus presentaciones S-1 aún no han recibido luz verde. Si se aprueba, los expertos en criptomonedas creen que el ether aumentará más del 25% y las entradas de ETF superarán los $20mil millones en los meses iniciales. Las tensiones en Oriente Medio siguen aumentando, después de que Israel llevara a cabo el sábado ataques aéreos contra un importante puerto controlado por los hutíes, en represalia al ataque con aviones no tripulados del grupo cerca de la embajada de Estados Unidos en Tel Aviv. Los aviones de guerra israelíes atacaron la ciudad portuaria de Hodeida en Yemen, que el primer ministro Bibi Netanyahu dijo que se utilizaba como punto de entrada para armas suministradas por Irán. Los hutíes prometieron tomar represalias, mientras que Estados Unidos reafirmó su "férreo compromiso" con el derecho de Israel a la legítima defensa. Los últimos ataques también pueden complicar un acuerdo de alto el fuego entre Israel y Hamás que se estaba preparando, y probablemente agraven las interrupciones actuales del transporte marítimo en el Mar Rojo.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Recientemente, se han visto algunas sacudidas políticas en India, Sudáfrica y México, mientras que las cosas están empezando a cambiar también en Europa. El Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, Rishi Sunak, ha convocado elecciones generales para el 4 de julio, mientras aún se están asimilando los resultados de las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo del fin de semana. $AAPL Apple iniciará hoy su Conferencia Mundial de Desarrolladores anual con un discurso de apertura que es quizás el discurso más esperado del gigante tecnológico desde que se presentó el iPhone hace casi 17 años. Si bien el evento no suele ser un catalizador para las acciones, el hecho de que la conferencia probablemente se centre en los planes de inteligencia artificial generativa de Apple podría resultar importante para los inversores. Se prevé que una actualización de Siri basada en IA, la asociación OpenAI de Apple y nuevas funciones que permitirán a los usuarios ejecutar comandos generativos de IA en el propio iPhone serán el centro de atención. En particular, no se espera que Apple presente ningún hardware nuevo en el evento. Según se informa, Elliott Management ha acumulado una participación de casi $2B en Southwest Airlines $LUV y planea impulsar cambios, aunque se desconocen los detalles exactos. El activista, que se espera que interactúe con los altos mandos de Southwest, es uno de los mayores inversores de la aerolínea. La noticia hizo que las acciones de Southwest se dispararan un 6% en las operaciones previas a la comercialización, pero la acción ha tenido un rendimiento inferior al de sus rivales hasta la fecha, cayendo casi un 4%, en comparación con la ganancia del 25% de Delta $DAL y un aumento del 28% de United $UAL. Southwest, alguna vez considerada la aerolínea estadounidense más rentable, sufrió una pérdida mayor de lo esperado el último trimestre debido a que los gastos operativos afectaron la rentabilidad. Cinco fabricantes de automóviles japoneses han sido acusados de falsificar datos de pruebas de seguridad al solicitar la certificación de ciertos modelos, en un escándalo que recuerda al Dieselgate de 2015 de Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY). Toyota $TM, Honda $HMC, Mazda (OTCPK:MZDAY), Suzuki (OTCPK:SZKMY) y Yamaha (OTCPK:YAMHF) recibieron instrucciones de suspender los envíos de los modelos, lo que hizo que sus acciones cayeran la semana pasada. Japón también allanó la sede de Toyota, asestando otro golpe al fabricante de automóviles que enfrenta preocupaciones de gobernanza, así como problemas de pruebas de seguridad en su unidad Daihatsu. Si bien el Dieselgate, que violó las leyes de aire limpio de Estados Unidos, finalmente generó multas y daños por valor de $30B en todo el mundo, el escándalo actual ha alimentado llamados para una revisión de reglas demasiado estrictas. El perforador de petróleo Noble $NE comprará Diamond Offshore $DO. En respuesta a las protestas de los usuarios, Adobe $ADBE aclara nuevos términos de IA. Virgin Galactic $SPCE completa el último vuelo espacial antes del debut de Delta.

It worked the first time -- Elliott Management might be hoping the playbook works again. It's now rebuilding a more than $2 billion stake in Softbank and calling for a $15B buyback after pushing successfully for changes in early 2020. At the center of the push is that Softbank as a whole's market value is far less than the sum of its parts: its 90% stake in Arm alone is worth more than $100 billion, far more than its market cap of around $85 billion.

Can you imagine losing an entire industry and seeing nearly a trillion dollars walk out of your state? That's the unfathomable reality for New York and California. Through the lens of our in-depth analysis, we'll expose how companies like Elliott Management, Alliance Bernstein, and Charles Schwab have uprooted from these states, taking with them valuable jobs and tax revenue. We've studied Bloomberg's corporate filings of over 17,000 firms since the end of 2019 and we're diving deep into the global pandemic's impact, the surge in remote work, and the allure of lower-tax states. We'll also call out the irony of politicians and celebrities who condemn these moves while quietly doing the same. In a surprising twist, the number of tattoo parlors and microbreweries in a city are now significant factors influencing where businesses relocate. Wondering how that works and why Portland, the city with a high count of both, is being touted as the coolest city in the U.S.? We'll explain this and much more, including the consequences of the major business exodus from places like New York and California. What does it mean for cities like Portland? What does the future hold for these cities and how will they support an influx of new businesses? Prepare for a provocative conversation that will challenge your preconceptions and reveal the fascinating motivations driving these massive shifts.Support the show
