1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: News, The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at some of the stocks that

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: are moving this morning with Louise Moon who joins us

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: now Louise in terms of investors deciding Larel is it

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: worth it?

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: What doesn't seem like it is?

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 4: This morning, shares down at one point over six percent,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 4: so quite a slump this morning for Larel.

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: This is after their fourth quarter results.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: Sales were up, but they missed estimates, and in particular

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 4: the luxury division looks like it's suffering, so they own

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 4: the likes of Eves, Lauran com other brands. This is

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: kind of a weakness in spending, changing consumer habits, but

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: particularly a weakness in China and a changing consumer there.

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 4: If you look at the EU and Europe for Loreal

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: Day top estimates, they did quite well, but China was

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 4: the real weak point. And Liss also noting rising on

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: top of that that there's rising competition from Asian beauty brands,

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 4: so Chinese beauty brands Korean beauty brands in particular, So yeah,

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: essentially that their luxury division, compounded by China is what's

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: really dragging it so and then on top of that,

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: there was actually one analyst that noted this they are

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 4: still cautious slightly about European demand for the year. So

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: a lot of headwinds for Loreal and that's been reflected

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: in their fourth quarter sales and also in their in

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: their share price reaction.

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely shares down for Lareal today. Flutters Gamble also

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be paying off what's happening there.

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: No shares slumped fourteen percent today. Interestingly, this is actually

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: a reaction from results from another gambling firm, Draft King,

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: that came over right in the US. So they had

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: their fourth quarter sales mis estimates, forecast miss estimates all

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: came in quite soft, and Flutter is reacting on the

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: back of this. It's very exposed to the US. It's

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: been as have a lot of gampling companies, but been

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: pushing into the US in recent years, and so it's

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: getting kind of tied up in worries that Draftking have noted.

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: In terms of the whole sector, it has fallen in

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 4: recent months, there's been concerns about the threat from prediction markets,

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: and this is saying, you know, cracks are showing in

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: the online gaming industry as they adapt to prediction markets

44
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: and adapt to again to changing habits as well. So

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: but yeah, but Flutter's reaction is really on the back

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: of Draftking. But it's it's the same worries that affecting

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: the whole sector.

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, fantasy football leagues and betting on sports and so on.

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: Do you know that you could even bet on my

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: favorite game, netball? Which I think, yes, I know it's

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: completely wild, but you can actually but you know, have

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: a look at in terms of the best.

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I've actually watched England netball play, I'd.

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: Recommend ah, I love the Roses amazing. In terms of

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: another company, though leveling up its forecast, this is the

56
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: game maker Ubisoft.

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they own Assassin's Creed and a lot of

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: other big names.

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: A bit more of a positive story.

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 4: Shares up about fourteen percent at one point this morning

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: in Paris. That's after their third course of results beat

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: estimates in particular what investors or or the main metric

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: that people look at as booking. So that's the amount

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: of both digital and physical content that they sell that

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: rose twelve percent.

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: That beat estimates.

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: That that's the main metric, as I say, it shares

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: what up, which is some relief because they've been they've

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: dragged quite heavily so far this year. They're down about

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: twenty nine percent this year. So that that rise this

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: morning is is some relief for investors. But you know,

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: you know, you've always got add a bit.

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Of caution in there.

74
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: Some investors, you know, bracing for a bit of disruption.

75
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: It's overhauling its pipeline of games, so they could be

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: a bit of rockiness ahead. But for the moment, the

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: circle results yet as I say, beating aspects and I'm

78
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,480
