<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio.

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>News, The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 2>moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Let's have a look at some of the stocks that

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 3>are moving this morning with Louise Moon who joins us

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 3>now Louise in terms of investors deciding Larel is it

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 3>worth it?

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>What doesn't seem like it is?

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 4>This morning, shares down at one point over six percent,

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 4>so quite a slump this morning for Larel.

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 1>This is after their fourth quarter results.

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Sales were up, but they missed estimates, and in particular

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 4>the luxury division looks like it's suffering, so they own

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.599
<v Speaker 4>the likes of Eves, Lauran com other brands. This is

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 4>kind of a weakness in spending, changing consumer habits, but

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 4>particularly a weakness in China and a changing consumer there.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 4>If you look at the EU and Europe for Loreal

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Day top estimates, they did quite well, but China was

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 4>the real weak point. And Liss also noting rising on

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 4>top of that that there's rising competition from Asian beauty brands,

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 4>so Chinese beauty brands Korean beauty brands in particular, So yeah,

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 4>essentially that their luxury division, compounded by China is what's

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 4>really dragging it so and then on top of that,

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 4>there was actually one analyst that noted this they are

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 4>still cautious slightly about European demand for the year. So

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 4>a lot of headwinds for Loreal and that's been reflected

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 4>in their fourth quarter sales and also in their in

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 4>their share price reaction.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely shares down for Lareal today. Flutters Gamble also

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>doesn't seem to be paying off what's happening there.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 4>No shares slumped fourteen percent today. Interestingly, this is actually

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 4>a reaction from results from another gambling firm, Draft King,

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 4>that came over right in the US. So they had

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 4>their fourth quarter sales mis estimates, forecast miss estimates all

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>came in quite soft, and Flutter is reacting on the

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>back of this. It's very exposed to the US. It's

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 4>been as have a lot of gampling companies, but been

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 4>pushing into the US in recent years, and so it's

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 4>getting kind of tied up in worries that Draftking have noted.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 4>In terms of the whole sector, it has fallen in

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 4>recent months, there's been concerns about the threat from prediction markets,

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 4>and this is saying, you know, cracks are showing in

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 4>the online gaming industry as they adapt to prediction markets

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 4>and adapt to again to changing habits as well. So

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, but Flutter's reaction is really on the back

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 4>of Draftking. But it's it's the same worries that affecting

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 4>the whole sector.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, fantasy football leagues and betting on sports and so on.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that you could even bet on my

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>favorite game, netball? Which I think, yes, I know it's

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 3>completely wild, but you can actually but you know, have

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>a look at in terms of the best.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I've actually watched England netball play, I'd.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Recommend ah, I love the Roses amazing. In terms of

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 3>another company, though leveling up its forecast, this is the

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 3>game maker Ubisoft.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so they own Assassin's Creed and a lot of

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 4>other big names.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>A bit more of a positive story.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.399
<v Speaker 4>Shares up about fourteen percent at one point this morning

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 4>in Paris. That's after their third course of results beat

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 4>estimates in particular what investors or or the main metric

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>that people look at as booking. So that's the amount

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 4>of both digital and physical content that they sell that

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 4>rose twelve percent.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>That beat estimates.

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 4>That that's the main metric, as I say, it shares

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>what up, which is some relief because they've been they've

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 4>dragged quite heavily so far this year. They're down about

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty nine percent this year. So that that rise this

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 4>morning is is some relief for investors. But you know,

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, you've always got add a bit.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Of caution in there.

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Some investors, you know, bracing for a bit of disruption.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 4>It's overhauling its pipeline of games, so they could be

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 4>a bit of rockiness ahead. But for the moment, the

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>circle results yet as I say, beating aspects and I'm

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 4>doing what I'm boosting that show brestling.
