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

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers podcast, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm Carol Masser along with Tim Stenovich. Let's take a

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.479
<v Speaker 3>look at some stocks on the move today. Joining us

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 3>right now is just Matt and Bloomberg News Deputy team

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 3>leader for US equities stocks you're watching. A lot of

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 3>it had to do with those earnings after the closes on.

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 4>The back of Nvidia's report after the bell yesterday, so

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to highlight Dell. The ticker symbol is d

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Ell here, and so looking at that and after hours

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 4>trading up about four percent. So this is a big

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 4>move because it is a leading provider of computers and

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 4>servers for AI and it actually that stock had soared

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 4>nearly sixty percent through today's close since it's low's in

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 4>early April, so it had been on a tear after

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 4>stumbling earlier this year too. So when you're looking at

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 4>that stock important because it still is off actually about

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 4>thirty six to thirty seven percent from its most recent

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 4>high back actually a year ago. It was last May.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 4>So if you're looking at this of course, Actually a

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of it has to do is that animalsts. We're

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 4>anticipating that some of its guidance would potentially come in

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 4>weak here, but some of those numbers not surprisingly came

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 4>in better than expected. So it's annual profit outlook toped

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 4>estimates on that server demand. So that's why you're seeing

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 4>some of that actually rising there too. And then especially

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 4>on the back of what we're expecting with the AI story,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 4>and then in video as well. Of course, every report

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to in videos a blockbuster report, but

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 4>specifically to Dell core Weave, it's actually a cloud computing

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 4>company that we've covered very closely when it comes to

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 4>the most recent IPOs here as well as Elon Musk's XAI.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Those are both customers of Dell's hardware for their AI

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 4>infrastructure build out. So the potential here that this is

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 4>better than expected actually really helps those customers. And especially

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 4>when you're thinking about in video with the top four customers,

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 4>whether it's Amazon, Alphabet as well as Microsoft, so some

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>of these customers tied to AI, and especially when it

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>comes to those providers like Dell, it's still doing better

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 4>than expected here in the back of that concern about

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.399
<v Speaker 4>AI spending slowing down.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's Dell. What about Costco?

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 4>So coost not surprisingly the taker symbol on this, so

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 4>that one day implied move was expected to be actually

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>around nine percent if you're looking at this stock to

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 4>it's actually flat only up about three tens of a

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 4>percent if you're looking at this now. And then also

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 4>its stock is off more than thirty five percent off

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 4>of its all time high last touch also not too

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>long ago as well. But also if you're looking at this,

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 4>it's important because the retailer generated earnings per share about

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 4>four dollars and twenty eight cents. That's above Wall Street

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 4>analysts expectations. But it also suggests that Costco is growing

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 4>its business even more here and then it has if

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.399
<v Speaker 4>you're thinking about Costco relative to some of its competitors,

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 4>because it does have in some ways it has been

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more immune to some economic volatilities because

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 4>the customers pay a fee to shop. Add it had

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 4>more than eight hundred stores, so the ski is a

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 4>little bit more affluent than some of its competitors here.

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>But that actually fared better than expected. So, especially in

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 4>the wake of when you're thinking about target Oswald's, Procter

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 4>and Gamble Craft Heeign some of those consumer package good companies,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 4>those have been the ones, and it's particularly Walmart, but

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 4>the consumer package good companies when you're thinking about and

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Jen partash Is at Bloomberg Intelligence has talked a lot

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 4>about this, especially over the last six months, when you're

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 4>thinking about those promotions if you're at the grocery store

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 4>trying to figure out, you know, buy one, get one

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 4>fifty percent off. Because of those issues they've been dealing

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 4>with volumes, especially in the aftermath of coming out of

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>COVID and dealing with those inventories. That's something that you're

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 4>starting to see still be more of an issue for

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>consumer package good companies, and not as much so when

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 4>you're thinking about some of those big box retails.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, just looking at some of the right Through

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 3>and Costco, about a third of their US sales come

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 3>from goods important from other countries, and so the company

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 3>has been diversifying its sourcing execs in recent months, noting

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 3>that they're working to minimize the impact of levies and consumers.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 3>You just talked about some of this.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think of what I like, what I

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:04.839
<v Speaker 1>get at Costco a countrym.

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Another time, mister Kirkland, do you have a Costco membership?

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I do have a Costco membership.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>We actually live really close to a Costco. Do you

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>really yes, but here's the Costco near me. It is

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>too crowded to actually step foot into on a weekend.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Believe they have an online They do, they do.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that it's very expensive, Like it still

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>ends up being cheaper than you know when you're buying

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>in bulk, but it's like the prices don't even compare

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to when you go and get it yourself.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>So they charge you more for the online.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's them specifically. I think it's Instacart

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 1>or whoever it is. Oh I got up charge.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they don't have an online.

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>They do, but they partner with Instacart.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, yeah, all right, Sorry we digress.

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>So we do we do Costco like I'd say, we

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. We have a membership, but we do it

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>every like six months and we do a huge order.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was thinking about Lisa Mateo on surveillance

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 3>every morning, and if there's a Costco story or she

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 3>talks about heading into the weekend like it's going to

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 3>be a two cart again.

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 4>It's right, like really kind of stiffer kids too.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>You gues should go to New Jersey to do. I'm

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>telling you the Brooklyn Costco it is like way too crowded.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>That's what you should probably do. I mean, there's not

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 3>one near me. Don't look for me to go shop.

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, hey, Master Costco, what about a

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Red Robin gourmet burger? Because shares are surging.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 4>Now, this is a company's market cap is less than

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 4>one billion, but wanted to fifty.

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Five million dollar market cap company. It's way less than

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 1>a billion. It's less than fifty six million.

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Don't we call.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 3>That a micro cape right?

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Actually, it definitely is a microcap type of stock. I'm

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 4>pointing it out because after I was trading are our

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 4>GB's the taker symbol up about fifty six percent in

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 4>after hours trading here, So there's a big move of course,

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 4>even though it has a smaller market cap, So those

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 4>adjusted earnings swung to a profit and revenue did rise

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 4>as well.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 3>Isn't up fifty five percent in the after mark?

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 4>That's why I wanted to bring that one up.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Said, it's a three dollars stock right, So it doesn't dollars.

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>This company's in the midst of a turnarout. I mean

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the company's CEO, David Pace, He's only been there for

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a month at this point. He said, we're pleased with

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>our strong start to the year, as we delivered increases

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in both sales and profits during the first quarter. He

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.559
<v Speaker 1>also said, though nevertheless, we are far from claiming victory.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>There's still more work to be done as we continue

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the comeback journey of this beloved brand and capture the

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>significant opportunity in front of us.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.799
<v Speaker 4>That's right, It's last all time high was touched in

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 4>August of twenty fifteen. It looks like here looking at

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 4>that ex straw down function in the terminal. So it's

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 4>a doubt about almost one hundred percent since that last

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 4>all time high. So to Carol's points, is stock just

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 4>trading above three dollars.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 3>I had their towering onion rings going back a few years,

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>like when my daughter was younger. It was a good

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 3>place to take like a kid and probably towering onion

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 3>rings with perhaps a little cocktail, some kind of fun

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 3>drink off the menu.

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, I've never been to one, but now I

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 4>kind of want to go after Carol Master was just.

0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:59.800
