2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: This is your roundup of companies making news on Wall

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Street and beyond, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: Let's take a look now at some stocks on the

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: move today. We are joined now by Demita Zakova, Bloomberg

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: Cross Asset Reporter. It needs It's hard to talk about

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: these docks without talking about Nike. Let's start with Nike.

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: I feel so we've talked a lot about them in

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: the last few months, and most of it has been

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: positive stuff. This time we're actually seeing their big comeback

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: being threatened. We're seeing a lot of issues in terms

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: of clearing out all the inventory, growing, trade war, and

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: of course we've constantly talked about weakening consumer So all

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: of these forces have pushed Nike down nine percent and

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: if you look at the today loss, we're looking at

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: thirteen percent, so it's a pretty rough start of the year.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: Of course, this comes after a big turnaround effort. We

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: saw their new chief executive officer, Elliott Hill, coming out

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: of retirement to work on this. You know, he's a

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: long time Nike employee that has a great reputation, and

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 2: there have been so many new initiatives. We were talking

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: about the Schemes partnership, we're talking about the Super Bowl

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: commercial and all all of those things. Indeed like broad

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: optimism and help, but it seems like when it comes

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: to earnings, investors are still not impressed by the company's

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: turnaround and are waiting to see actual number. So of

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: course we can in consumer and fall out from the

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: escalating trade war are really complicating this.

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: All right.

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: FedEx also awful. Yes, again, going back to the week,

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: we can in consumer trade war a few as though.

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: That's something that comes up on all earnings coll earnings reports,

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: and FedEx is the lastest company to sound alarm on

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: that escalating trade war. Shares them both more than eleven percent.

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: The company lord its full year guidance for third consecutive quarter.

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: They're citing inflation and certain demand for shipments, and if

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: you look at the chart here today loss is more

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: than twenty percent, So again another company that is having

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: a very rough start of the years. The earnings are

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: projected in the range of eighteen doors to eighteen sixty,

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: below the average of eighteen ninety five. That's what a

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: only is estimated. The company has obviously a big exposure

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: to a lot of things in the global economy, so

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: you can imagine a trade war is particularly difficult to

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: navigate for a company like this. And they even said

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: that their outlook assumes the global economic, political and trade

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: environment doesn't worsen any further, and we obviously don't have

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: a lot of guarantee on that, so not too much

49
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: optimism on the stock at the moment. What about Luminar, Yes,

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring some good news in the end.

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: The company is seeing a big spick today, more than

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: twenty percent. The maker of sensor of autonomous vehicles, obviously

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: a very niche thing that's trending and doing very well.

54
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: It's posted four quarter earnings that top testiment and company

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: is up forty four percent here today. Really good start

56
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: of the year considering how hotile markets have been. They

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: included guidance for revenue growth that's as much as twenty percent.

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: We saw that the company is still feeling the pressure

59
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: because it has exports from Mexicos, which obviously are impacted

60
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: by the trade war, but we're seeing optimism among analysts.

61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: Deutsche Bank upgraded their target and are implying eleven percent

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: increase from here. The company actually develops that technology that

63
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: helps self driving cars and especially when they're turning and parking,

64
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: and it helps the autonomy to really provide that reliable

65
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: of situational awareness. So it's a very important thing. They

66
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: work with Mercedes, Volvo and all those big brands, so

67
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: they're doing well.
