WEBVTT - iRobot Drops, ServiceNow Falls, Costco Slips on Ratings Cut

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. The Stock Movers Report,

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>your roundup of companies making moves in the stock market,

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a look at some of the stocks on

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the move today. I'm Paul Sweeney alongside Scarlet Film. We're

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>joined by Bloomberg's Touchanna Daria, Touchana. What are you looking at?

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Well? Kicking it off with A robot shares a big

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 3>move here today, down seventy three percent. The company that

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 3>makes a robot vacuum cleaner's file for bankruptcy propose handling

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 3>control to its Chinese supplier, Sends and Robotics. This was

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 3>somewhat expected, as they warn't about a potential back see

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 3>earlier this month, but the company has been struggling ever

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 3>since its post COVID era. When shares spike there, it's

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 3>hit by supply chain issues as well as cheaper competitors. Also,

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty two, they saw a deal from Amazon,

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 3>who made an offer that would have turned the company's fortunes,

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.639
<v Speaker 3>but it apsed over a clash with EU competition authorities.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>So series of unfortunate events here leading to the downfall

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>of I Robot and shares are down seventy three percent.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 3>Right now, all right, tell Yana, what's next? Next is

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>a service?

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 3>The company shares are down ten percent. Tickers and W

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg reports the enterprise software Companies and Advanced talks to

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 3>buy a sub security startup Armies and, a deal that

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 3>may be valued as much as seven billion dollars and

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 3>would represent the tech company's largest acquisition to date. It's

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 3>worth noting that representatives from both companies either declined or

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 3>do not respond to comments. But analysts here are debating

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 3>this deal. They see the benefits. However, they are calling

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>the price tag quite pricey.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean a tech analyst calling anything pricey, It's like,

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 2>come on, you kidding me. We don't even quote it

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>in multiples of earnings or ebithots multiples of revenue and

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>seven to eight times revenue. Big deal?

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 3>One more and Costco is the final one. The shares

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>are down two percent after Rawth Capital Partners cut the

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>company's shares to sell from neutral. This caught my attention

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 3>as we rarely see accelerating on anything these days, and

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 3>the company has twenty four buys and fifteen holds. The

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 3>analyst there saying that despite an earnings beat, he flags

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 3>several underlying metrics are concerning, like renewal rates fading, paid

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>members slowing, and store traffic decelerating on a year to

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 3>year basis. And this is quite interesting given that we've

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>seen sort of, you know, more value oriented consumers. But

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 3>apparently it's also a factor of competition with the Sam's Club,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>BJ's Wholesale also seeing a lot more new business, and

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 3>they see downside to seven hundred and sixty nine dollars,

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>which would represent quite a big decline more than ten

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>percent from where we're trading currently at eight hundred and

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 3>sixty nine dollars this year.
