1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, The.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Stock Movers podcast, your roundup of companies making moves in

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: the stock market harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 3: We're joined by Bloomberg's Christine. Christine, what are you looking

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: at here this morning?

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'm also looking at alphabet Paul. I mean, Lisa

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: mentioned shares in a green there. But very interestingly, you

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: know that a sales and profit beat expectations that we

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: got from the results yesterday. That was really driven by advertising,

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: which isn't the most exciting part of their business, I'll

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: we say, right, and even the cloud business operating profit

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: more than two billion dollars that beat estimates too, But

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly the headline driver. And so you know,

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: my colleague Shibassion boyd Over at Markets Live pointing out

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: that what we really want to know is whether the

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: trade bar is driving up costs in the chip supply

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: chain right as it relates to Google's affected businesses or

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Alphabets affected businesses, and to what extent those capacity constraints

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: in the data centers are limiting expansion. We didn't really

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of steer from Alphabet on that.

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting because Alphabet doesn't I'm like, Alphabet, what's that company?

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: Google doesn't really give outlook either, so it was hard

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: to sort of understand what the what the future may

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: be for that company. But not a sidestep the ad revenue.

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: I mean, YouTube had eight point ninety two billion dollars

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: in revenue. That missed slightly, but that's a monster. And

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: now they have a podcasting that's apparently outpacing both Spotify

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: and Apple when it comes to people that are listening

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: like this is like a monster beast on that at

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 4: some point.

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 3: I mean, I if I were back in my banking days,

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: I'd be there every quarter pitching spin.

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: Spin off, spin off, its spin off.

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, let's get some value there. I'm going to

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: BNP parryba X say x saying the note just hit

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: my inbox. The analysts there maintained an app performance on Google,

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: raise the target price from two hundred and thirteen to

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: from two hundred and eight dollars on higher EPs estimates.

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: It looks like it's streetlights as well. What else? Christine?

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: Looking at Apple today, Paul, you know, we did get

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of opening weakness there, but it's up

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: now just two tens of one percent at the moment,

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: and that is because we did get news earlier that

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Apple is seeking to import most of its iPhones that

46
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: it sells in the US from India, which really accelerates

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: it shifts beyond China, and they're aiming to do that

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: by the end of next year, according to sources.

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 4: Telling Bloomer, Well, what's so interesting is that go ahead.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: I just didn't think that was possible. Yeah, so that's

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: positive surprising news to me because I didn't think they

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: could shift that much production from China to India.

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: I also wonder, though, if they're going to hit the

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: Nike problem, which is Nike did that and then all

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: of a sudden there are tariffs on the places where

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 4: they went to go build new factories, and there will

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: be tariffs on India as well. So they're still not

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: building it in the US at the end of the day, Christine.

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, So they are still absolutely going to be

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: exposed to all those trade tensions that are brewing at

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the moment. But you know, it does seem like perhaps

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: maybe Apple is banking on better relations between the US

63
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: and India as opposed to the US and China. You know, Paul,

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: to your point, that shift actually began years ago because

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: during the COVID lockdowns, obviously, Apple production of iPhones really

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: was hampered by what was going on in China, and

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: so they probably took a look at their supply chain

68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: and think maybe we should start diversifying. So what we're

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: seeing now is just an acceleration of that.

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Interesting, All right, let's wrap it up here with Sketchers.

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: That stock is down almost three percent.

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: What happened?

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of companies that are very exposed to

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: trade tensions, it is definitely very much related to what

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: we're seeing at the moments. Ketchers again saying that it

76
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: missed its estimates for the first quarter in terms of sales,

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: also by throwing its full yeer outlook, citing quote macroeconomic

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: uncertainty stemming from global trade policies. So you know, note

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: that Sketch does make a significant portion of its shoes

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: in China and Vietnams. Again, our supply chain problem very

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: much rearing its head here, and Sketchers chief financial officer

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: John Vandermore also compared what we're seeing now in terms

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: of the company's challenges to what they experienced during the

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: covid erangeline.
