<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data,

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>take a look at some of the stocks on the

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>move today. You can do that with Bloomberg's Alexandra Semenova

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Alexander what are you looking at?

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys? So Intel is obviously the headliner today. It

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is taking a nosedive and seeing it down about sixteen

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>percent right now. This is after its CEO gave a

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>lackluster forecast. He also warned that the chip maker was

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>struggling with manufacturing problems. Investors really not liking that. Projections

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>for the first quarter for revenue and earnings both fell

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>short of Wall Street estimates, making that even worse. During

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the earnings call with analysts, the CEO said that it

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>would take time and resolve to turn around the company

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that sent shares down even lower. Intel's comeback bid has

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>been marked by products production snag, which has been disappointing

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>for investors who are really looking for new products. The

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.839
<v Speaker 1>CEO said, we are on a multi year journey worth,

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>noting too that the bar was really high for them

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>given the stock had run up something like thirty percent

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>leading into the results end is up about one hundred

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and twenty percent over the last twelve months. I'm so

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>glad you mentioned that because I feel like that's the

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>most important context here. Yes, absolutely, what's your next one?

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm taking a look at some of these solar

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>stocks getting a nice boost things to Elon Musk. He

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>made some comments over at Davos. He said that SpaceX

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>within the next few years will be launching solar powered

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>AI satellites. Among some of the gainers, I'm seeing Canadian

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>solar that is up about eight percent right now. Array

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Technologies emphasize energy for solar. Those are some of the

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>stocks that are moving on this.

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Capital One Financial Corporate.

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they have a lot of news today. They

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>reported earnings and they also agreed to acquire Brex, which

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>is a fintech company that focuses on corporate expense management.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>This is a five billion dollar deal. They're going to

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>buy bres for roughly fifty percent cash and fifty percent stock.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>The deal would be actually the biggest since they acquired

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Discovery Discover Financial Services last year. And of course, they

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>also reported earning's fourth quarter net income almost doubled from

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share did meet analysts

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>did miss, rather analyst estimates, and then provisions for credit

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>losses searched fifty seven percent from a year ago. Important

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to note here also that their CEO, Richard Fairbank, made

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a comment about the ten percent interest rate cap proposal.

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>He said that less available credit could tip the economy

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>into recession.
