0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's dive into some of the stocks on the move

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 3>today in Europe. I'm Lizzie Burden. I'm alongside Caroline Hepcat

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 3>and we're joined by opimog reporter Chloe Melee. Chloe, We've

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 3>got to talk about Lorril down on some disappointing sales

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 3>growth because we're worth it might not be the sentiment

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>investors right now.

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely so. Yeah, Loreel shas you said, are getting

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>hit quite hard this morning because of those disappointing sales

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>for the third quarter, and that was due primarily to

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of weakness in the US market. So one

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>of the key problems that Loreal is really over exposed

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to the makeup category in the US, and that is

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>a category that has been struggling lately. In consumer demand

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in the US is quite weak just generally. There's signs

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>of improvement in China where it's all quite good demand

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>for the more kind of high end side of those

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>beauty products, but that really wasn't enough to offset that

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>drag from the US, and the CEO also was quite

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>cautious about China, saying that analysts should not get too

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>excited because one good quarter does not mean that there's

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a trend there. So disappointing sales, a cautious commentary. All

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of that led to that weakness in the shares this morning.

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps Lorel is hoping that some M and A could

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>boost growth. We remember that over the weekend we had

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the news about Lorel buying the fragrance make a House

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of Creed from Caring. It was also named as a

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>preferred bidder to buy a stake in Georgio Armani last month,

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>so we'll be keeping an eye on.

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>That as well. Okay, so that on Lorel, Barclay's though

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 3>is announced a narrow earnings be and also this five

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 3>hundred million pound share buyback. Investors seemed to be viewing

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>that fairly positively.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely so. It actually upgraded it's gudin has been

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the interesting come as well, announced that five hundred million

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>buy back, said it was now going to move towards

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>quarterly share buybacks. And all of that is by the

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>fact that it actually had to almost quadruple all the

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>provisions related to the MOTI Finance readdress program. But obviously

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the market reacted quite positively to the upgrade and the

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>buyer back. Of course, if we look at the actual numbers,

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>it looks a little bit mixed to Equity's revenue actually

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>fell short of expectations, fixed income did a bit better,

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>So it seems like Barclay's actually missed out on some

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of the boosts from the market volatility that the US

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>banks had actually flagged last week. It's also worth noting

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that the investment bank booked a one hundred and ten

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>million pound a credit impairment charge for a client, and

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the CEO mentioned that the bank remains vigilant across the

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>lending book, which of course is related to that stress

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in the in the credit market that we've been talking

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>about recently. So it's pretty good so far, but there's

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>been a little bit of caution there as well.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 3>And of course we've got our rye on the European

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>chip makers, the likes of st Micro. Given the West

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Texas Instruments outlook that came out sd micro down two

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>point seven percent, is that the only reason?

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, it seems like st Micro and also be

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>semi Infinian. So those chip makers that are exposed to

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the industrial and automotive chip sector, because, as you mentioned,

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>their pair over in the US Sexis Instrument provided quite

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a disappointing forecast and then said that the recovery in

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>those end markets was slowing down. So the key takeaway

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>for those European chip makers is that, you know, the

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>industry is in recovery, but it's quite a muted recovery,

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>muted rebound, and so that's dragging down those shares in

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>st micro Infinia, even as the all of the talk

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>about the AA boom has led to quite a lot

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of bullishnists in that semiconductor sector. There's also the exposure

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to those, you know, maybe less less interesting and less

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>sexy and markets, but they are also quite crucial, like

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>industrials and automotive.
