WEBVTT - Closing Bell: Seagate Rises; Tesla, Invesco Fall

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>This is the closing bell on the stock movers report

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the company's making moves at the close of US trading

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>with Carol Masser, Tim Stenoveck, Romain Bostik, and Katie Greyfell.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 3>All right, a lot of green on the screen, so

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 3>I had a lot to choose from. So let's go

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 3>to it. Seagate Technology up about five point six percent

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 3>in today's session. Western Digital also higher, up about three percent.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I bring them two names up. They were outperformers in

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 3>both of the major equity averages. Morgan Stanley raising its

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 3>price target on Seagate, the computer hardware and storage company,

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 3>to five hundred and eighty two a share from four

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty eight. The firm also named Seagate its

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 3>top pick, seeing long term tailwinds related to AI. The

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 3>analyst there citing signs of sustain hyperscaler demand strength, elongating

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 3>customer visibility, firmer pricing into twenty twenty seven, and an

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 3>overall improving HDD and market due to AI related demand.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 3>They put overweight ratings on both Seagate and Western Morgan,

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 3>recommending adding aggressively to them in periods of market related volatility.

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Morgan also lifting its price target and Western Digital to

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 3>three eighty from three sixty nine. So Sagate up about

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 3>five point six percent. In Western Digital, I gain a

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>more than three percent. All right, let's flip it on

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 3>over to app Love and another call from Wall Street.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>This was I believe the number one gator in both

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>the S and P and the NASDAQ one hundred. Wells

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Fargo analyst raising the firm's price target on app leven

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>to five sixty from five forty three. Is sharestock closed

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 3>at four to twelve and change, so quite a move

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 3>to the upside if it hits those targets. Keeps an

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 3>overweight rating on the shares. The firm says checks are

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 3>improving and buyside sentiment is negative. Wellsee's a positive setup

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 3>into the first quarter earnings per share. Channel checks suggest

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 3>that the first quarter IA industry growth above normal seasonality.

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 3>At loven holding share in Meta Platforms Progress Limited, the

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>firms adds a lot of analysts speak there, but anyway,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 3>our performance there that went up almost seven percent today

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 3>and one last we don't talk about it a lot

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Monolithic power. This went up about five and a half

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>percent in today's session. Number four gainer in the S

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 3>and P five hundred reader interest increasing, no real fundamental reason.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 3>It's a semiconductor device company, Power solutions for industrial, telecom, auto,

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 3>cloud and some more. Up nearly thirty percent yere to date.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Just kind of wanted to single it out because there

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 3>was a lot of momentum there. So okay, there you

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 3>have it. Okay, you got are you judging over it?

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 3>You know we didn't miss this last week. Tom, what

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 3>do you got?

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'll jump in here. How's that? Let's start

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>with some of the decliners that were notable at least

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>to me. Tesla down more than two percent. Interesting note

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>coming out from JP Morgan analysts who said investors should

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>proceed with caution because the ev makers and danger of

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>weaker perfom foremanths cutting earning estimates for the company after

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.839
<v Speaker 1>those first quarter delivery numbers that we got last week

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>disappointed investors. JP Morgan lowering its EPs estimate for the

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>first quarter to thirty cents from forty three cents and

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>its twenty twenty six outlook to a dollar eighty from

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>two dollars. Also, its twenty twenty seven forecast came down

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. But this is my favorite one of decliners.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 4>Let's see it.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>This is for Isabelle Invesco. Look at this IVZ.

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Yeah, that was big news. Written by Katie Grandfel.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>This is huge news. Down five percent today. The company

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>is going after the NASDAQ one hundred the ques the

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I shares NASDAQ one hundred ETF. It would trade under

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the ticker IQQ. If it does launch, it would become

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>one of just a handful of US listed ETFs to

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>solely track the Nasdaq wander. It would be the first

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>one to not be managed by Investco Isabell. Why would

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>this Why did this take so long? Like why isn't

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>there more competition for QQQ?

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 4>I think Invesco had the license for the longest time,

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 4>and now I think maybe they trust Blackrock and they said, sure,

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 4>you can do it. But I think the big story

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 4>here is Invesco said they're creating a foundational ETF ecosystem

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 4>that does not happen overnight, and there was only one QQQ.

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 4>That's what Invesco said, And again it's written by Katie Granfeld.

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was a really sassy and good response.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, she's not working, but she's I guess she's working.

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>She's on assignment chairs for Invesco. Shares down more than

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>five percent. Finally watching what happened with shares of Oracle today.

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Some personnel changes at the company. Hillary Maxon will be

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>at CFO. It'll help navigate, She'll help navigate massive data

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>center development plans and an accompanying cash crunch. Oracle pouring

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>tens of billions of dollars into building AI infrastructure that's

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>required unprecedented financial maneuvering. It's projective result of the company

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>being free cashual and negative all the way to twenty thirty.

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Shares were down much of the day, then went you know,

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 1>into the grain, very, ever so slightly, but still finishing

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the day down six tenths of one percent.
