<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm Carol Masser along with Tim Stanback. Let's get to

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>some stocks on the move, a bunch of earnings after

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the closing bell with us is Bloomberg News Crosss Reporter

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>de needsa Sikova and let's start with Corey. The stock

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>bouncing around, but it's down more than one percent here

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>in the aftermarket.

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, ticker is CRWV. Initially very strong report, that's why

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>we saw reaction there. But what investors seems to be

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 3>worried about is narrow profit margins. In the third quarter,

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about operating income margin of four percent and Alice,

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 3>we're expecting six point five percent. This is a very

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 3>interesting company that has been on a crazy rally since

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 3>it ipield. It actually since August, since the last earnings

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 3>report we get, it's been in a cell off mode.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.839
<v Speaker 3>So again this report, which the revenue was very strong.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 3>It rose to one point thirty six billion, topping estimates.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 3>The reported loss was lower than one aalysts were expecting

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 3>overall strong report, but this wasn't enough to bring the

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 3>sentiment after Obviously last week AI, the AI team suffered

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 3>in Core with was one of the big names that

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 3>was hit there, so a lot of pressure there. That said,

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 3>there are a lot of partnership with Meta, it's obviously

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>working with Nvidia. Microsoft accounts were seventy one percent of

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Core with its revenue, so a lot of optimism from analysts,

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>but pretty high valuation still, so the investors are punishing

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 3>the margin.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, So let's talk about Paramount Skuidance sticker PSKY.

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>It is rallying about four and a half percent higher

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in the aftermarket, but it was up I think as

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>much as ten nine or ten percent here.

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it rallied as much as ten percent. It's coming

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>off reporting financial resorts for the first time since the

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>new investor took over. It's coming off cost cutting measures.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 3>So this is really obviously bad news for workers. Sixteen

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 3>hundred jobs are going to be cut as part of this.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 3>The number is three billion in cost saving this year.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 3>They're increasing that number for third quarter. Paramount reported revenue

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>of about six point seven billion, below analysts forecasts. But

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>clearly investors are reacting to those cost cutting measures. Of course,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 3>David Ellison combines Guidience Media with Paramount. In August eight

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>billion merger really some of the big ones we've seen lately.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 3>The company is eliminating jobs, racing to sign deals, and

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 3>some of the cost cutting measures are cross Argentina, Chili

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 3>and other regions.
