2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm Carol Master along with Alexis Christophers. Let's get to

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: some of the stocks on the move this Thursday. Carmen

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Rhinegy in the house. She's equities reporter and deputy team

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: leader for US Equities. Got to talk Alta. It is

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: rallying big time in the aftermarket.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's look at it. So this is ticker ULTA.

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 3: Shares of Alta are up about five point four percent

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 3: right now. So the company had quarterly earnings and it

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: raised its full year outlook and it also reported better

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 3: than expected results in the third quarter. So really, what

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: it looks like here is that consumers are definitely happy

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: to keep spending on cosmetics. And this can be, you know,

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: actually a really good sign in the economy, and it's

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 3: a place that people look at.

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: It's like smaller discretionary purchases.

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: So people are definitely still spending on these on these things,

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: and investors are happy about it, sending the shares up

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: in after hours.

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, we did see the CEO also talk about consumers

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: remaining cautious, which has really been kind of I feel

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: like the watch word or.

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 5: Words from what kind of retailer you're talking about, if wait,

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 5: from Kroger on down right when the food companies, the

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: clothing companies. Although Abercrombie and Fitch yesterday had a really

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 5: nice earning situation, Dollar in.

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: General today too, So like we're seeing these pockets of

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: places where people are still.

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: Spending and willing to spend. And it looks looks like Alta.

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: The dollar general tells a really big story right when

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: they're doing well. It says how people are looking for bargains,

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: all right, So Alta it is definitely up five and

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: a half percent here in the aftermarket. Let's go to

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: HP also reported after the closing bell.

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is down about eight percent right now.

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: Give an outlook for sales in the current quarter that

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: was just a little bit shy of what Wall Street expected.

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: So basically they're saying revenue will be about nine billion.

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: Analysts we're expecting, you know, closer to ten billion. So

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: this is kind of an issue because it suggests that

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: the company isn't meeting some very high expectations for the

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: sales of AI servers. HB is definitely a name that's

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: gotten a boost from the AI trade so far this year,

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: and you know, that's something that investors have just become

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: sort of increasingly.

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: Cautious about going forward.

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: They really want to see the results the ROI return

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: on investment in the UAN.

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: That's just an example of like, hey, good is not

52
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: good enough. You need to just be spectacular.

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that we see a lot of that.

54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: We're seeing that, you know, it's not just a beaten

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: raise isn't enough. You know, it has to really blow

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: earnings out of their water. And so then when you

57
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: if you fall a little bit short, I think investors

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 3: have been very swift to punish those stocks, especially if

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: they're a name that's had a big run this year.

60
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: I'm just going to pull up the year to debut

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: and so, yeah, you know, I was going to pull up.

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: It's down.

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: It definitely looks like it got hit in the sort

64
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: of draw down that we've seen from October, but it's

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: still up very you know, significantly since April at least

66
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: maybe about flat.

67
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: On the year.

68
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: So a lot of these names really just underwatch by investors,

69
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: and so we're seeing you know HP slip a little

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: bit here.

71
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, So another after the bell company that's a little

72
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 5: bit smaller than HP, EU Praxis Precision. It's a medical company,

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: and I know that it's it's a smaller market cap,

74
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: smaller company. So like the volatility is greater. The stock

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: is up something like fifty four percent here in aftermarket.

76
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: What can you tell us?

77
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: So ticker p r a X. So basically it had

78
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: two things here. So it says that a study of

79
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: a medication I'm going to try to say relutrin.

80
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: You're grave, yeah, I oh, okay.

81
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: So basically this company does a lot of sort of

82
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: nervous system disorders, so this treats ES central nervous system disorder.

83
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Was successful. And it also said that it has.

84
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: An NDA for another drug in the works to treat

85
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: essential trumer. So both of these things were really positive.

86
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: Shares are off their their hayes a little bit. It

87
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: looks like in post market up about fifteen percent of right,

88
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: they were up as much as fifty for after hours,

89
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: especially when the headlines about the NDA hit.

90
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and up about one hundred and forty seven percent

91
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: year to date, although almost fifteen percent of that float

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: is short, so just but it's you know, one of

93
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: these high flyers right when it comes to biotech.

94
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: And then not earnings but a share sale helping out

95
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 5: Sofi Technologies.

96
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're looking at Sofi ticker Sofi. It's actually

97
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: down about five and a half percent right now. So

98
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: it's seeking to raise one point five billion in the

99
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: share sale, working with Goldman Sacks.

100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: Looking to offer shares.

101
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: For between twenty seven fifty to twenty eight fifty.

102
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: So right now, it's trading actually right about at that rate.

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: It's trading at about twenty eight dollars per share in

104
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: after hours, so it's a little bit of a discount

105
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: to Thursday's close, So it makes sense the stock would

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: be selling off a little bit here.

107
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Why are they doing this vacation?

108
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it says, let me see our reporting is

109
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: saying that it's enhancing capital position, new business opportunities, and

110
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: it looks like we've reached out, but don't immediately have

111
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: a response to request for comment.

112
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it's interesting, right. Yeah, and it also says

113
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: that's a big sale, right, but it's looking to diversify

114
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: beyond lending into other products, so they're looking to raise

115
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: some money to like expand in terms of business, I'm

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: always curious about why they need, why they share sale,

117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: and what they're looking to do. So yeah, it looks

118
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: like they're expanding their business.
