0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the closing bell on the stock movers report

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the company's making moves at the close of US trading

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>with Carol Masser, Tim Stenoveek, Romain, Bostik, and Scarlet.

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Food to the s and P five hundred once again

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 3>to the split there two hundred and fifty names, guys,

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 3>to the upside, Scarlett two hundred and forty one to

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 3>the downside, three unchanged.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's take a look at the IMAP, and

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 4>clearly it's very lopsided because the biggest sectors are communication services,

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.840
<v Speaker 4>tech and consumer discretionary, and they are the biggest gainers

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 4>as well. Communication services formerly the telecom group up four

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 4>percent as a group, pretty incredible, Tech up two and

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 4>a half percent. Consumer Discretionary which includes Amazon retailers, homebuilders,

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 4>and carmakers, that group is up one point eight percent.

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 4>The only decliners are two of the smallest sectors, energy

0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 4>and consumer stables.

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 5>All right, guys, let me get to some of the

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 5>individual gainers. I mentioned.

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Semiconductors definitely on a tear today. They were up the

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>socks up about four point six percent today session. And

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 3>then I would just want to highlight a couple of names,

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 3>because you did see a bunch of semi names atop

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.119
<v Speaker 3>the S and P five hundred, and I think also

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 3>the Nasdaq one hundred. In fact, Broadcom is your number

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 3>one gainer in both the S and P and the NASDAC. Guys,

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 3>it is up eleven percent in today's session. Take a

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>look at Micron, also top gainer in the S and

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>P five hundred. That's good for a gain of about

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>eight percent. It too is a top gainer in the

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Nasdaq one hundred. Couple things going on. You had Micron

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>price target raised to three thirty eight from three to

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>twenty five. Over At Morgan Stanley has an overweight on

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 3>the shar's Memory stocks have sold off lately due to

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>concerns about higher cap capital spending on the view that

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 3>shortages may be easy, but neither impacts the firm's view,

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>according to the analyst, one other thing, I just want

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>to mention h blah blah blah HSBC on Broadcom, specifically

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 3>just pointing out the company's work with Google to develop

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>TPUs or tensor processing units for more than a decade.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>So HSBC adjusting its price target on the shares to

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 3>five thirty five from four hundred and maintaining a buy rating.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 5>So I mean just the semiconductors on fire.

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of being on fire, alphabet, I believe this one

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>finished at another record in today's session. It was up

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 3>about six point three percent. It is up nearly seventy

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 3>percent year today, so easily outpacing the other mag seven brethren,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 3>if you will, been on a tear. We talked last

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>week about glowing reviews for its newly released.

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 5>Gemini AI model.

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>And then, just to throw in something non tech, EW

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Scripts up about seven and a half percent. Sinclair, one

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 3>of the largest USTv broadcasters, offering to acquire ew Scripts

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>for seven dollars a share in cash and stock marking

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>another proposed consolidation of station owners. By the way, that

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>share price offers seventy percent premium over Scripts clothes on

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 3>November twenty first, So a lot of Apper four armers

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 3>two at choose.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, easy job finding the out performers today. I want

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.839
<v Speaker 1>to start with some of the underperformers. Novo nordis down

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>five point six percent. These are ADRs traded here in

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the US, and at one point they fell at the

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>lowest level in more than four years. The company did

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>say that a pill version, novosampic, failed to slow the

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>progression of Alzheimer's disease in two late stage studies. We

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>spoke to Madison Muller on our program a little earlier.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>She's been covering the industry for years, and the question

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>that she said is, Okay, what does Novo Nordisk end

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>up deciding to do. Do they still pursue Alzheimer's as

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a potential area for this drug, or do they not

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>do another study and kind of abandon it altogether. Also,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>shares of Copart among the worst performers in the S

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and P five hundred, down four and a half percent.

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the online vehicle salvage auction company. Shares today

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>touching the loess since twenty twenty three. JP Morgan analyst J.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh Potswell lowered the price target on the company to

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>forty five dollars from fifty dollars and finally, Performance Food

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Group down two point three percent. Shares fell as much

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>as five percent earlier in the session, this after US

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Food said it's no longer pursuing a combination with the company.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>US Food shares a rose on the news.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 6>All right, let's take a look at what the bond

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 6>market did today. Pretty quiet overall, though you did see

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 6>a bit of a rally develop here, especially when it

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 6>comes to further out the curve. You take a look

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 6>at the ten year treasure yield down about three basis points,

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 6>we are still above four percent. A little bit more

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to the thirty year yield down about

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 6>you can round that to about four basis points or so. Overall,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 6>it does feel like when the ten year yield where

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 6>it stands here to date, it just can't reliably break

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 6>below four percent.

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 5>I wonder what that very much rangebond? Yeah, indeed on

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 5>to it. Yeah, maybe they're just waiting for that FED meeting.

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking about Mary Daly, you know, another one

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 3>coming out saying she thinks, you know, we could get

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 3>or she supports lowering interest rates come December. I kind

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 3>of I'm trying to keep check of all of the

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 3>FED speakers and whether or not we're seeing more momentum

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to folks supporting another rate cut.

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess the question is where's the data that

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>they're looking at? What is the data that they have

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that I was telling them, Okay, there are concerns about

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the labor market. We certainly have the alternative data, but

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>we missed some data when it came to the closure.

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So you know, the question is what's the FED going

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to Is the FED going to be comfortable with the

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>data that it has to make a decision on December tenth.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, soon we'll be in the blackout period and we

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 6>won't have any FED speaking. We'll just have to wait

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 6>for the decision itself. But just quickly here, we are

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 6>getting some earnings this coming out of Zoom. Third quarter

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 6>adjusted EPs coming in at a dollar and fifty two cents.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 6>That is better than the estimate for a dollar and

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 6>forty four cents. In terms of the look ahead, they

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.239
<v Speaker 6>see fourth quarter revenue at one point two three billion

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 6>dollars to one point two four billion dollars. The estimate

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 6>had been for one point two to three billion dollars,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 6>so the midpoint of that range just slightly above the estimate.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 6>You can see the Zoom shares higher by just about

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 6>two percent in the after hours trade down the.
