0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Along with Emily Grafail. Let's take a look at some

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 3>stocks on the move today with us as Bloomberg News

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Equities reporter Alexandra Samonova. Alex no shortage of stocks making

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 3>big moves. What's on your radar?

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, we have to start with Tesla. That stock

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>down about seven percent right now. This is after Elon

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Musk said that he is creating a new political party.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>He is calling it the America Party, and we'll focus

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on House and Senate seats for the next twelve months.

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>And needless to say, Tesla investors are not happy about this,

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>once again him digressing his attention away from the company

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>and toward his political endeavors. Not only is the stock sliding,

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>but Musk's net worth actually dropped about seventeen billion dollars today.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>This is according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And if

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>this move hold, this will be the worst day for

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>test lessons that very public fight between Trump and Elon

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Musk over the tax beell. Obviously, Musk has emerged as

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a big political spender in Leaster's election. That is something

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that has made investors incredibly disappointed. He's not focusing on

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the company. Dan Ives of Webbush Securities, who is of

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>course a very vocal Testla Bowl today on Bloomberg Television,

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>said that the board will have to get involved here

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>and that Elon Musk is crossing a line in the

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>sand here the board.

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Though it's not that critics have alleged that the board

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.639
<v Speaker 3>is not very independent. I mean his brother Kimball, I believe,

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 3>is on the Tesla board, for example. There are other allies,

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know you haven't seen them necessarily speak out

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>over his political activity in the past when he was

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>so aligned with the president. Why would we hear from

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>them now?

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, there is like we always talk about the Trump

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>put or the Fed put, there's somewhat of a Musk

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>put here too. When you have very vocal investors like

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan Ives coming out and talking about how disappointed they

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>are by some of the actions he's taking, he eventually

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>retreats on that. We've seen that in the past. That

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>could happen again if the shares keep falling. Okay, what

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 1>else are you watching? Some big moves here, maybe a

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>name that wasn't as well known. Yeah, another company moving today,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Core Weave, the cloud computing company. It is dropping nine

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars on the data center operator Core Scientific andk

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 1>This is part of an effort to gain more direct

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>control over the physical assets powering the AI boom. The

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>acquisition will give Corey access to one gigawatt of data

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>center capacity across the US. This of course will help

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>eliminate least expenses, reduce costs, and it's going to help

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>future proof its revenue growth. The deals expected to close

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter of this year, pending, of course,

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all the regulatory approvals and cloud infrastructure providers more broadly

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>are rushing to construct data centers to keep up with

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>this incredible demands that we have an AI related work

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that's been fueling a wave of different deals. We of course,

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>last week reported that Oracle and Open Ai shtop an

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>agreement for data center capacity. Core We've has seen its

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>stock price sore nearly three hundred percent since it's March IPO. Obviously,

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>this is a testament that there is no shortage of appetite.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 3>For AI CRWV is a ticker for Core. We've Core,

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>we even core Scientific. Okay, finally, Netflix a company you're

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 3>watching today. What's going on?

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that stock is down just a bit about five

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>about point five sorry point five percent. Netflix got a

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>downgrade to neutral from Seaport Global Securities. They cite valuation

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>as a concern following really strong gads of course, from

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>its April low. It's up about fifty percent from that

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the depths of the Tearff selloff. They said that plenty

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of long term opportunity is already baked into valuations and

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the company needs actual time to execute against very lofty

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>expectations from investors. They also said that it has not

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>grown its share in the US, and also the gap

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>between Netflix and YouTube tv has widened, so a lot

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>more people flocking to YouTube TV. Great, of course, comes

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ahead of its earnings on July seventeenth, very high Stakes

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.920
