1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio News, the.

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some of the stocks on

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: the move today here in Europe. I'm Caroline Hepget alongside

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: Jamana Pasecci and we're joined by Bloomberg Report to claim Malay,

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: good morning. Let's start by looking at all Steed. So

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: they got a favorable judgment over in the United States

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: over one of its wind farms.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Big result then in the stock market.

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I think also my actually win for the

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 4: amount of times it has been a stock to watch

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 4: over the last couple of months, but this time, as

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 4: you say, it is positive news.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: So a judge in.

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: Washington ruled that Austed canw restart work on the Revolution

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: Wind project, which is off the coase of Rhode Island

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 4: in the US. And that is a major win because

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: the Trump administration had ordered Orsted to stop construction on

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: that project in late August, and that is despite the fact.

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: That the wind farm was about eighty percent finish.

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 4: So the project is intended to power hundreds of thousands

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: of homes in Rhode Island, but also Connecticut, and the

24
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 4: judge said that the project could suffer irreparable harm unless

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: construction was allowed to continue for now. So a Less

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 4: said that this will really boost confidence in Austed' US portfolio,

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: which has come under attack from Trump quite a lot recently,

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: and also boost confidence in the capital rays that AUSTED

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: recently did to shore up its finances. A White House

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: spokesperson did say that the ruling will not be the

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: final say on the matter, and of course it still

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: could face appeal, but for now, this is some relief

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: for AUSTED and that has really boosted the shots this morning.

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: And Heineken says it's buying Florida ice and farm companies,

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: beverage and retail businesses. This feels like a bit of

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 5: a jump, a bit of a leap for a company

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 5: that's synonymous with beer. Do we have detail about the

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 5: deal and what the price action was afterwards?

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely So.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: Heinegan is buying, as you say, Florida ice and farms

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: companies at Central American business and that is for three

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 4: point two billion dollars. The idea is that this will

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: really strengthen its position in places like Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras,

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: and those are markets that the company said had really.

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: A strong growth potential.

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: So the Central American market is forecast to grow about

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 4: over seven percent annually by twenty thirty, and that is

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: because there's.

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Quite a young urban population there. In contrast to.

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 4: The European market has been much weaker, so that explains

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: Heineken maybe wanting to move away from.

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: That weaker market.

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: And some analysts said that the region, the Latin American region,

54
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: could actually beat Europe as the largest net contributor to revenue,

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: so that deal actually makes quite a lot of sense

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: for Heinekan from the perspective of those analysts. Some did

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: also say that the price was maybe a little bit

58
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: too high, but given the positive share price reaction, I

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 4: think it doesn't seem to be bothering investors that much.

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Okay, that's interesting.

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, lots of different beer brands in the fifth Co

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: really fIF Co beverage and retail business. Can't say I'm

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: much of a beer drinker, so either or knowledgeable insight

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: into that particular business in terms of ASM ASM International

65
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: cutting its outlook for the second half of the year

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: in terms of revenue, I suppose the question is why.

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is quite bad news for that semiconductor

68
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: equipment industry. So he had cut a revenue outlook, and

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: it said that was because of lower than expected demand

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: from chip making clients. The cut was seen as a

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: bit of a surprise, and some analysts said that the

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: downgrade to that guidance is really unlikely to make investors

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: feel better about the consensus estimates for twenty twenty six,

74
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: which are already some are perceiving to be a little

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: bit too high to begin with. To understand why it's

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: selling fewer chip making machines, we kind of need to

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: look at it at its customers. So Intel, for example,

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: is actually a key customer for SA and all. The

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: Intel has attracted quite a lot of investors recently. The

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: company is a lot more conservative with spending than other

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: companies in that sector, and it said earlier this year

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: that it would actually cancel some factory projects. Obviously, that

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 4: is having a knock on effect on ASM International and

84
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: it really casts out on the health of that wider sector.

85
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: Also dragged down the shares of some other big names

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: in that industry, including ASML and BS and we were

87
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,719
