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

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers 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
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm Carol Master a longer Tim Stenwick. Let's get to

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: some stocks on the moon Bloomberg News process. A reporter

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Isabell Lee is in the house. Where should we begin.

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's start with c.

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: IF Industry is a very sexy fertilizer company. It's interesting

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 3: because the stock fluctuated throughout the day, at one point

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: dropping as much as five percent, but it ended in

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: the green, up by two point seven percent. So it

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: initially dropped because Muzoo Securities cut its recommendation to underperform

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: from mutual and that's after the stock price rallied on

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: expected growth in demand and prices. So basically, the analyst

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: said that the recent share rally was overdone, and they

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: said that other fertilizer stocks have already started to give

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: up some gains. So I feel like he thinks that

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: it's overvalued, but I don't know. Maybe the stock is like, no,

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to rally and now it's closed

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: in the green. And see if Industry shares are up

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: by more than sixty percent throughout the year.

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've definitely been on the move, I mean, and

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: part of this, right is forgive me right. We've also

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 4: talked a lot about I think what's going on in

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: the Middle East war, higher costs of product, less supply,

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: and so that typically bides well for our company, like

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: CF industry.

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: So interesting though to see.

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, all that going on, but it has been on

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: such a tear.

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: It's been on such a tear. And the analysts also

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: said that they believe impact would be less than expected

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: because most farmers have already purchase or prepaid their nitrogen

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: needs for upcoming planting season. I feel like it's almost

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: the same. Even with airlines. We talk about that, right, like, yeah,

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: people rushing to buy plane tickets before they just increase

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: in price. I should do that too, we.

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: Too, We have to do that as well. Okay, let's

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: talk about drinking.

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: Drinking, Okay, Constellation, the non banker tickers.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: St problem for Constellation.

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: I know, higher verse three times one percent. I don't

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: drink too, Actually, you don't drink at all. No, Like

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: in my wedding, I didn't drink. I don't like the

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: taste of it.

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: Oh, none of it, none of I'm not judgings.

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of you folks out there. That's the challenge.

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: That's a challenge. City raised the recommendation to buy from neutral.

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: Look Bergs sliding up? What's wrong with those people? No,

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: you're just kidding, just kidding.

51
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: They cited a beer top line acceleration and evaluation that's

52
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: below historical levels, and they said that positive depletions in

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, that's what they expect after four quarters

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: of negative depletions. So I guess the bad will be

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: less badly, all right, So Kim and I will drink

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: one day and it's not good.

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: I just know it's okay.

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: It's actually I think they're finding their rethinking that even

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: they used to think, say, you know, a glass of wine, okay,

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: But I think people are rethinking some of the studies.

61
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: Let's go to Macy's which was on a tear tickers M.

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Ticker is M. It's one of those rare stocks with

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: just a one letter tickers. Doc is up by four

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: point eight percent. They close higher.

65
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Basically, the CEO basically.

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: They're benefiting from really just a still resilient, wealthy consumer.

67
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: So they reported better than I expect. That adjusted EPs

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: and sales for the fourth quarter, and they gave guidance

69
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: that was more encouraging. The CEO said that they see

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: resilient customer base, especially for middle to upper income and

71
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: I feel like that's when this story. Middle and number

72
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: income people keep on shopping and shopping and shopping and spending,

73
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: and those lower income consumers are the ones who feel pressure.

74
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: And that's what he says also, And I feel like

75
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: it's the K shape economy as everyone has been saying,

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm tired of buying stuff.

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: Well, are you interested in buying anything from Micron right

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: now to get in live?

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I may not, but everybody else is seems yeah.

80
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 5: Looking at a Micron in the after hour, shares down

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: about one percent this after the company warned that it

82
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: will need to spend heavily on production to meet demand,

83
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: overshadowing a generally upbeat forecast that was upbeat from the

84
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: largest US maker of computer memory chips.

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: We've seen this story before, right, strong numbers, top line,

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: strong margins, and all this good stuff. But then they're saying, listen,

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: we got to spend more in terms of their capex

88
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: coming in higher, and then the stock goes from a

89
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 4: rally to lower. But this one has been bouncing around

90
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: a lot today in the aftermarket.

91
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has m you as the ticker.

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: The company said it will spend We'll spend more than

93
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 5: twenty five billion dollars this fiscal year. ANALYSTET estimated twenty

94
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 5: two point four.

95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, seen this movie before.

96
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: It's also up sixty two percent year today.
