1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: This is the closing bell on the stock movers report

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: the company's making moves at the close of US trading

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: with Carol Masser, Tim Stenoveck, Romain Bostik, and Katie Greyfell.

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: All right, a lot of green on the screen, so

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: I had a lot to choose from. So let's go

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: to it. Seagate Technology up about five point six percent

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: in today's session. Western Digital also higher, up about three percent.

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: I bring them two names up. They were outperformers in

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: both of the major equity averages. Morgan Stanley raising its

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 3: price target on Seagate, the computer hardware and storage company,

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: to five hundred and eighty two a share from four

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty eight. The firm also named Seagate its

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: top pick, seeing long term tailwinds related to AI. The

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: analyst there citing signs of sustain hyperscaler demand strength, elongating

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: customer visibility, firmer pricing into twenty twenty seven, and an

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: overall improving HDD and market due to AI related demand.

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: They put overweight ratings on both Seagate and Western Morgan,

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: recommending adding aggressively to them in periods of market related volatility.

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: Morgan also lifting its price target and Western Digital to

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: three eighty from three sixty nine. So Sagate up about

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: five point six percent. In Western Digital, I gain a

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: more than three percent. All right, let's flip it on

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: over to app Love and another call from Wall Street.

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: This was I believe the number one gator in both

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: the S and P and the NASDAQ one hundred. Wells

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: Fargo analyst raising the firm's price target on app leven

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: to five sixty from five forty three. Is sharestock closed

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: at four to twelve and change, so quite a move

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: to the upside if it hits those targets. Keeps an

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: overweight rating on the shares. The firm says checks are

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: improving and buyside sentiment is negative. Wellsee's a positive setup

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: into the first quarter earnings per share. Channel checks suggest

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: that the first quarter IA industry growth above normal seasonality.

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: At loven holding share in Meta Platforms Progress Limited, the

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: firms adds a lot of analysts speak there, but anyway,

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: our performance there that went up almost seven percent today

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: and one last we don't talk about it a lot

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: Monolithic power. This went up about five and a half

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: percent in today's session. Number four gainer in the S

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: and P five hundred reader interest increasing, no real fundamental reason.

42
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: It's a semiconductor device company, Power solutions for industrial, telecom, auto,

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: cloud and some more. Up nearly thirty percent yere to date.

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: Just kind of wanted to single it out because there

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: was a lot of momentum there. So okay, there you

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: have it. Okay, you got are you judging over it?

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: You know we didn't miss this last week. Tom, what

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: do you got?

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: All right, I'll jump in here. How's that? Let's start

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: with some of the decliners that were notable at least

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: to me. Tesla down more than two percent. Interesting note

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: coming out from JP Morgan analysts who said investors should

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: proceed with caution because the ev makers and danger of

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: weaker perfom foremanths cutting earning estimates for the company after

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: those first quarter delivery numbers that we got last week

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: disappointed investors. JP Morgan lowering its EPs estimate for the

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: first quarter to thirty cents from forty three cents and

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: its twenty twenty six outlook to a dollar eighty from

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: two dollars. Also, its twenty twenty seven forecast came down

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: as well. But this is my favorite one of decliners.

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: Let's see it.

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: This is for Isabelle Invesco. Look at this IVZ.

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, that was big news. Written by Katie Grandfel.

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: This is huge news. Down five percent today. The company

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: is going after the NASDAQ one hundred the ques the

66
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: I shares NASDAQ one hundred ETF. It would trade under

67
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: the ticker IQQ. If it does launch, it would become

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: one of just a handful of US listed ETFs to

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: solely track the Nasdaq wander. It would be the first

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: one to not be managed by Investco Isabell. Why would

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: this Why did this take so long? Like why isn't

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: there more competition for QQQ?

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: I think Invesco had the license for the longest time,

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: and now I think maybe they trust Blackrock and they said, sure,

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: you can do it. But I think the big story

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: here is Invesco said they're creating a foundational ETF ecosystem

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: that does not happen overnight, and there was only one QQQ.

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: That's what Invesco said, And again it's written by Katie Granfeld.

79
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: I thought it was a really sassy and good response.

80
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: Right, she's not working, but she's I guess she's working.

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: She's on assignment chairs for Invesco. Shares down more than

82
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: five percent. Finally watching what happened with shares of Oracle today.

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: Some personnel changes at the company. Hillary Maxon will be

84
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: at CFO. It'll help navigate, She'll help navigate massive data

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: center development plans and an accompanying cash crunch. Oracle pouring

86
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars into building AI infrastructure that's

87
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: required unprecedented financial maneuvering. It's projective result of the company

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: being free cashual and negative all the way to twenty thirty.

89
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: Shares were down much of the day, then went you know,

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: into the grain, very, ever so slightly, but still finishing

91
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: the day down six tenths of one percent.
