1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: This is the closing bell on the stock movers report

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: the company's making moves at the close of US trading,

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: with Carol Masser, Tim stenovek Romain Bostik, and Katie Greyfell.

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to some of the individual gainers,

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: if I may, in today's session. So let's look at

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: some of the stocks that actually were momentum performers as

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: of late.

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: And so take a look.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: You've got Western Digital, a high flyer last year, up

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: another ten percent. You also had Seagate Technology that was

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: up eight percent in today's session. You have Micron up

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: almost nine percent. That was another one that gained almost

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty percent last year. And so just

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: looking through some of the right through, especially when it

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: comes to something like Western Digital and a few others.

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: I did see a note by Evercore II actually was

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: I think Investor's Business Daily pointing this out. We believe

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 3: AI driven data demand remains fundamentally robust, providing a durable

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: tail wind for the HDD market. Again, this is Evercore

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: ISI writing in a note today. Crucially, the transition from

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: AI training to inference could create a structural opening for HDDs,

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: So nonetheless, I don't know momentum players getting some love

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: on this Wednesday also getting love Intel This too was

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: top in the S and P five hundred and the

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: Nasdaq one hundred, again of just shy of nine percent.

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: The chipmaker greed to pay fourteen point two billion to

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: buy back half of a plant in Ireland, DA Davidson

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: writing that the move bodes well for the company's turnaround story.

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: Transaction financed with cash on hand and the issuance of

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: about six and a half billion dollars in new debt.

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: It is expected to add to the chip maker's earnings

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: per share and kind of reflects Intel's growing confidence in

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: its business and it's belief that its products can play

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: a bigger role in the boom and spending on AI infrastructure.

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: You probably don't do a deal like that unless you

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: have some confidence that year outlook. And then here's an

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: interesting AI data center play, kind of unexpected. THH is

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: the ticker the company's target hospitality up about thirty six

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 3: percent there staring as much as forty three percent intra day.

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: It's a one point two billion dollar market cap provider

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: of workforce, lodging and hospitality services, and they secured a

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: multi year contract worth over five hundred and fifty million

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: dollars to construct and provide comprehensive facility and hospitality services

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: for a top five hyperscalers data center development in North Texas.

46
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: So I guess they're going to be providing food and lodging.

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 4: You got to feed the data center.

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to We've.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: Talked to workplace our housing people right who are doing

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: workplace housing where like all this stuff is going on

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: because workers need places to live. Anyway, there you go,

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: big big mover.

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: Had you had a lot of gainers to choose from.

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: I had some decliners that stayed in the red all

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: day today, which is great. I do want to start

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: with shares a Nike falling today by more than fifteen percent.

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: Late yesterday, the company gave this gloomy outlook for the

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: year ahead. Revenue expected to decline two to four percent

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: in the current quarter. Headwinds include all the stuff that

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 4: we've talked about for years at this point, elevated inventories

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 4: in Europe, in the Middle East, weakness in Greater China.

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: Ni You CEO Elliott Hill said, the direction is clear

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: and the foundation is getting stronger, but acknowledged that parts

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: of the turnaround are taking longer than expected. We got

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: a great story on the Bloomberg, lillly Meyer writing it

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: up about getting a recording of a call that Elliott

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 4: Hill had with staff yesterday and really trying to rally

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: the troops, given that shares of this company are at

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: lowe's not seen in more than a decade at this point,

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: so trying to get some excitement and trying to get

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: them to win, and also expressing his own frustration.

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a.

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Great piece of reporting. I mean, if you have to

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: imagine that, you know, if you're constantly in a state

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: of turnaround and it doesn't seem like it's getting traction,

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: especially when you take a look at the share price,

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: that has to be a pretty killer for morale of

78
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the employees at that company.

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: Well, also, Tim, were you what shoes were you wearing

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 5: in October twenty four fourteen, the last time.

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: The stock was this low?

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: I don't even remember, good what was I don't even know, Like,

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: what were they? I don't even know, Bailey, what were

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: the nikes in twenty fourteen?

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think.

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: I was probably in college. I was in college. He

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: was also in college, so that was probably I wore

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 5: spare in advance.

89
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: That's another two out of you too. All right, we're

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 4: going to keep going here. What else do we got

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: on the decliner's menu today? How about a little more retail.

92
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: Let's talk about our age. The company, formerly known as

93
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Restoration Hardware Ships felt today by more than nineteen percent.

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: They were down as much as twenty three percent. They

95
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: closed at their lowest levels going back to April of

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Remember what happened then was we were in

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: the demand shock of the COVID pandemic. We're in the

98
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: depths of that. The company forecast revenue for their first

99
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: quarter that missed the average analyst estimate. Analysts out and

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: said that the forecast was pressured by execution supply chain disruptions. Also,

101
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: an interesting note from an analyst over a City said

102
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: the company lags peers in the home furnishings industry, and

103
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: it also reflects a weaker European consumer demand environment. It'll

104
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: be interesting to hear from more companies as we do

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: get into the next quarter. Like I don't know the

106
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: banks in a couple of weeks about what the demand

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: environment is looking like in the United States. And finally,

108
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: how about some French fries or potatoes that go to

109
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: French fries. This is a Lamb Weston Holdings. They make

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: frozen French fries from potatoes.

111
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: Biggest customer McDonald's, Right, I had McDonald's for lunch.

112
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I tried that.

113
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: The biggest customers making Grace shares felt to the lowest level.

114
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: Going back to twenty seventeen, the company's full your forecast

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: implied weaker than expected fourth quarter performance. They don't have

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 4: your Did you get fries with that daily?

117
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: I did?

118
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: I got a medium fried. It was like five bucks, though,

119
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: But I will say I tried the Arch. It's a

120
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 5: ten dollars burger worth every penny it was.

121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Was that the one that the COEO eight.

122
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, should do an Instagram video

123
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 4: about it? Basy next time?

124
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Maybe next time I'll do it.

125
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: Tim.

126
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: I'll get you one too, Thank you.

127
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: Beautiful Tim. I don't know if he would eat an Arch.

128
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like I had Chick fil A for

129
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: the third day in a row. No one asked, but

130
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you anyway. Let's talk about the bond market

131
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: and what happened there. It was pretty quiet. Once again,

132
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: you're seeing fireworks to the upside when it comes to

133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: the equity market. Can't say the same for the bond market.

134
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: It's been kind of nonplus over the past two days.

135
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, the two year treasure yield, which barey highlighted earlier,

136
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: arising CI about one basis point here, But then you

137
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of the curve and

138
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: there you go. The twenty year yield now unchanged as well,

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: in addition to the thirty year yield, and I think

140
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: you can go ahead and call the ten year treasure

141
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: yield unchanged as well, though we are looking at fairly

142
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: high absolute levels.

143
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: Two quarter pound, four ounds, one hundred percent beef patties.

144
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: That's March.

145
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: That's a lot of beef.

146
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: It's over one thousand calories, so I kind of felt

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 5: a little bloated, but I walked around.

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: They say it's thirteen heavy.

149
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Nothing like eating one thousand calories and then going on air.

150
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: Oh, we can't talk about twelve metris Okay, I guess

151
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 3: we can't talk about twelve metric tons of stolen Kitcat bars.

152
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: Speaking of maybe we save it for tomorrow ahead of

153
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: a big meal the holiday weekend.

154
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: A lot of kickats going to be eaten over Easter weekend.

155
