1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data for.

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: That second look now at some stocks on the move

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: today in Europe. I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm joined by

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg reporter Chloe Melee. Chloe, good morning. So a new

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: year boost for the minor Fresnello assign perhaps of things

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: to come for the forty one hundred, finally making it

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: over briefly that ten thousand handle.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So the fifty one hundred, as you mentioned,

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: reached that bill big kind of milestone in Fresno was

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 3: at the center of that. So the fifty one hundred

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: trading above one thousand points for the first time ever

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: and having its best here since two thousand and nine,

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 3: A lot of that was thanks to the mining sector.

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: The fifty one hundred is very kind of heavily weighted

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: towards that industry, and it was a really good industry

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: to be in in twenty twenty five, and it will

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: be a good industry to be in in twenty twenty six.

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: Because the prices of precious metals are jumping quite importantly,

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: quite massively. A lot of that ad has to do

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: with investors in central banks kind of rushing to save

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: havens during times of a little bit more geopolitical turbulence,

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: and then also falling interest rates in the US making

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: those commodities quite attractive. And so we've seen silver and

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: gold reaching several record highs over the year twenty twenty five,

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: and of course that's great for companies like Presnio, which

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: operates as gold and silver mines, and the company was

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: the standout in the fifty one hundred last year with

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: gains of four hundred and forty nine percent, so that's

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: really really impressive, and that is the best performed by

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: a really wide margin. The second best was actually another

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: minor Pan African Resources, with gains of just two hundred

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: and fifty nine percent, So that really shows how crucial

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: that mining sector has been to the performance of the

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: fifty one hundred this year, well no last year. And

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: then there's also that no sign of that is really stopping.

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty six. We have seen gold and silver

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: starting the year really strongly, and the factors that are

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: leading to that boost are still there, so we'll have

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: to see how much further FRESD of you can go.

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed shows up two point six percent this morning.

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: But as you say, pretty hard perhaps to beat the

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: games they saw last year. Let's turn to Orsted next

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: filing a legal complaint against US President Donald Trump's wind

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: farm suspension.

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was. It's up this morning, All said on

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: the back of that, and perhaps indicating that investors are

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: happy that also is kind of pushing back against the

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: Trump administration. The company said that the decision to suspend

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: the lease of a wind project that was very close

52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: to being completed a violates applicable law, and so also

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: it is calling for the suspension to be lifted until

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: there's a final verdict from the court. At the project,

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: which is called Revolution Wind, has been targeted a couple

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: of times by the trub administration. Recently over the summer,

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: we had a stop work order and then a judge

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: ruled that construction could actually resume. And now that there's

59
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: this least suspension. So that's kind of another setback there.

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: But it means that All Said will probably be dealing

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 3: with a lot more challenges from the US after all

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: the attacks from last year from the Trump administration, which

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: really weighed on those shares. But there are some games today. Perhaps,

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: as they said on the fact that all said is

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: a pushing back against those decisions by the Trump administration.

66
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I know, I said shares. Yeah, as you were

67
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: saying four percent this morning, that's turned to British American

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: tobacco next shares are in the red there. What's driving that, Well, the.

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: Ideas is taking a hit because of its stake in ITC,

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: which is the largest make of cigarettes in India, and

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: that company is taking a big hit because of a

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: new excise duty to try and limit the smoking rate in India.

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: We've got two hundred and fifty million people smoking in India.

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: That's the second highest population globally. So for the health

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: of that population, of those taxes will probably be good,

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: but for ITC not to not too exciting because we're

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: talking about our tax hike of over thirty percent if

78
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: we include other charges on cigarettes that are about to

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: be imposed as well. So that's a tax burden that's

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: much higher than anticipated. And ITC gets over forty percent

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: of its revenue from cigarette so this is a new

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: text that could mean a big hit on volumes of

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: big hit on earnings. This is something that has triggered

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: the fifty fifteen percent cut in earning special estimates for

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight, so that's really

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: not negligible, and we're seeing investors and analysts start to

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: think about the impact for that company. And BAT has

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: a stake of about about twenty three percent in ITC

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: is the largest shareholder, so it's very vulnerable to whatever

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: happens to that company, and we're seeing that weakness today.
