1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Mover's Report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: Let's get to some stocks on the move on this

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: Wednesday with This is Bloomberg News. Cross At reporter Isabelle Lee.

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Isabelle is in the studio. We've been talking a lot

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: about retail with a good reason.

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Definitely good reason. So I'm talking about game Stop. Shares

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: are actually falling almost ten percent. So that comes after

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: it announced that it will purchase more than four thy

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: seven hundred bitcoin. So this is the first bitcoin purchase

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: after it announced plants in March. So of course this

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: follows in the footsteps of Michael Saylor's strategy and game

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: Shop just really joins the growing list of public companies

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: putting bitcoin on its balance sheet. I think this is

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: interesting because the accounting of bitcoin has been questionable, we're

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: called them. Over the past quarters, we have seen an

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: adjustment with how Strategy has accounted for their bitcoin gains

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: or losses. So but we still see a growing list

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: of companies adding to it. Definitely inspired by the stratosphy

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: or gains that Strategy has seen.

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: I just hear game Stop and I got to look.

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: I know, it's like, what is the business you think

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one when it was a meme? Stock

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: or the empty stores when you walk by them.

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's also a challenge for investors who

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 5: want to hear from company executives about what the strategy is.

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: And you know, they have these earnings calls that end

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 5: up being not actual question and answer sessions. The press

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 5: releases lack detail, but still we're talking about it.

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: I feel like, once you do this, there's no turning back.

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: You know. It feels like I'm not saying it will

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: do any it will ruin a reputation, but it will

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: do something to it.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 4: It's like, I think it's.

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Fair to say, right, investors look at it differently, right

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: as they try to figure out kind of what it's,

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: what it's going.

39
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: But nonetheless, on the move today, where do you want

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: to go next?

41
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: I want to go to Abercrombie and Fitch see retail,

42
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: Okay those could be I guess yes, Stock is searging

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: doubles up by thirteen percent, So it's a good day

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: for this doc. They surged the most inter day in

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: over a year, although paired back some of those games,

46
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: but still that's thirteen percent. So the retailer increase, it's

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: full your outlook, and it just really suggests confidence in

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: its ability to just navigate this really uncertain tariff landscape.

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: So Abercrombie now is these fullier net sales growth of

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: three or six percent, that's up from its March estimates,

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: and if this includes approximately fifty million of tariff expenses,

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: so that's good news for them. I actually have been

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: liking Abercrombie and Fitch personally.

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: Abercrombie or Hollister or Abercrombie.

55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: That's what I was going to ask, because is Mary

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: Ross Gilbert has like are you looking at me?

57
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Some of their vintage doesn't look like two shirts crass shirts?

58
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: Just ask you?

59
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 5: Does like I buy any clothes?

60
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: You do have a mode? Yeah?

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: Show me all though with this top? Actually I think,

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: is you what are wearing? Yes, they frevamped to office clothes, but.

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: Abergom and Fitch still dad like forty one percent year

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: to day, like we you know, it's it's it's a story.

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 4: It's a story. Okay. Looked like my by club.

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: The only vice gloves for his Pointson ivs, Yes, exactly,

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: it's Joey and friends.

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: We're all waiting for.

69
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: Yes, this is It's not moving by much, up by

70
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: just almost one percent, but I think it's really the

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: talk of the day or the week. I mean, the

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: company starout the early season, so it shares jump forty

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: percent from the April low, and it reports just in

74
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: over an hour after the market closes.

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: It's the less of the big tech to do so.

76
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: And it's kind of encouraging because Microsoft and Meta have

77
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: showed outlook that were made mostly in tech. So I

78
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: think investors are really hedging their bets because that, of

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: course overall has fueled a tech rebound. We are seeing though,

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: based on options, that a roughly six percent move is

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: expected for in video and that's kind of low compared

82
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: to the roughly eight percent average in the past, and

83
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: that's according to options pricing.

84
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: So I think this it's.

85
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Because before in video was the story, but now it's

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: moved on. It's more tech or I meane inflation or

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: recession fears, but not really in vidio anymore. You rarely

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: see it driving Macro.
