WEBVTT - Closing Bell: Expedia Rises, Block Drops, Sweetgreen Plunges

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the closing bell on this stock movers report.

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>The company's making moves at the close of US trading

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>with Carol Masser, Tim Stenovak, Romaine Bostik, and Scarlet flu.

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 3>All right, so let's get to the S and P

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>five hundred folks, now that we are at the close.

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 3>In terms of the market averages, Christine, we're looking at

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 3>more names actually hired today. Wasn't that way earlier in

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 3>the session? Three hundred and eighty nine names in the

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>S and P five hundred gaining ground on this Friday

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 3>on hundred and twelve to the downside to unchanged.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, Carol, I'm looking at the sectors again that have

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>led us and liked us in this equity session. I

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.599
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier in for tech of course a biggest loser today,

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the biggest winners energy sector, and look

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>at that, so that is up currently being led by

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>eggs on world seeing of course oil prices up today,

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>so you know, that's kind of helping a cushion some

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of those declines in the SB furn that we're seeing

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>earlier and again, as Carl mentioned, you know we've paired

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>some of those losses already because of potential hope that

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>we might see the beginning of the end of the shutdown.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>If we do, in fact see our lawmakers grabbing some

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>martinis somewhere in DC this weekend, one can hope.

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>What are the odds something like that?

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>All right, so we can keep our fingers crossed. Hey,

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 3>so a lot of green. So let's get to some

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>of the individual gainers. Got to mention Expedia, it's your

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 3>number one gainer in the S and P five hundred.

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 3>The stock finishing with a rise of about seventeen and

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 3>a half percent. It is now up about forty percent

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>year to date. The company raising its full year gross

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 3>bookings and revenue outlook. Its signaled that strong travel trends

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 3>are continuing into the holiday quarter, so revenue this year

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 3>now expected to increase six point five percent at the midpoint,

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 3>gross bookings are expected to grow seven percent. That's both

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>ahead of estimates and Expedia's previous guidance. I should point

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>out the outlook not into account the US government shut down,

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 3>and the company has yet to see an impact. Just

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 3>over a month and according to the company's CEO. All right,

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>over to Monster beverage. We go this one number two

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 3>gainer in the Nasdaq one hundred to gain a five

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 3>point two percent here after the Energy Drinks Companies third

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>quarter results topped expectations. Analysts pretty positive about the company's

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 3>gross margins and sales following the recent price hikes. And

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 3>this one too is up about thirty two percent here

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty five. And one more for you. We're

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>talking about top golf callaway. That one up about fourteen

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>point three docent. Yeah right, I guess people are golfing.

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 5>Remember we thought it got it, It got revived during

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 5>the pandemic, and it has been building on that.

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Since exactly so again a good number here. The company

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 3>came out boosted its net revenue guidance for the full

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>year as football fans took some extra time out for golf.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Glad to hear that's happening. The company expects annual revenue

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>of three point nine to two billion at the midpoint.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 3>That's up from the previous expected three point eighty six billion.

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>This was also above Wall Street's estimate of three point

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 3>eight nine billion. Stock up more than thirty percent year

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 3>to date, about ten percent of the float is short,

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 3>but I'm going to say that's kind of how I

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>grew up. My family went from golfing to football golfing.

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 5>It's got to get on from the couch every once

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 5>in a while. Yeah, exactly what.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 3>We did, go out and play a lot of golf.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 3>I should say that today at least to get off

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>the couch on that one.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you got the gainers, I got the decliners today.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 4>I want to start with the shares of the meat

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 4>processing company JBS falling three point six four percent. Shares

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.119
<v Speaker 4>just dove late in the trading session at about three

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 4>point thirty eight PM. This after the President said in

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 4>a social media post that he's told the Justice Department

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>to probe meat packing companies. Here's what the President said,

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 4>in part, quote, I've asked the DOJ to immediately begin

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 4>an investigation into the meat packing companies who are driving

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 4>up the price of beef through illicit collusion, price fixing,

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 4>and price manipulation. We will always protect our American ranchers,

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 4>and they're being blamed for what is being done by

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 4>majority foreign owned meat packers. End quote. In part he

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 4>goes on to say more, we should note there are

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 4>a host of reasons why beef prices in the United

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 4>States have gone up. We've typically imported quite a bit

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 4>from Brazil, but then tariffs on Brazil helped put an

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 4>end to that. We were hoping well. The US was

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 4>hoping to import from Argentina as well, but that's politically

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 4>difficult when it affects the price of beef for American ranchers,

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 4>many of whom did support the president in his last election.

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Once again, shares a JBS down three point six percent.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 4>We'll continue following this story. Also among the worst performers

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 4>in the S and P five hundred and any percentage basis.

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Shares of the company formerly known as Square now called

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 4>blockdown seven point seven percent. The company did raise its

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 4>full year profit forecast and posted strong growth in consumer banking,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 4>though it's third quarter revenues fell short of Wall Street's estimates.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 4>The company added three hundred thousand new primary banking users

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 4>in the quarter, and the number of monthly active users

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 4>in the cash app ticked up slightly to fifty eight million. Also, finally,

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Sweet Green shares hitting a record low today, down seven

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 4>point five percent. The restaurant chain cut its revenue guidance

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 4>for the full year, missed the average analyst estimate. Red Brown,

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 4>a consumer reporter for Bloomberg News, says, a great piece

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 4>out on the terminal today. I encourage everybody to go

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 4>read it. It's about how the pricing menu add ons

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 4>that were added over the last few months have misfired.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 4>The Ripple fries that were made with hand cut potatoes

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 4>and air fried and avocado oil were removed from the

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 4>menu just after five months due to being too complicated

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 4>to make, and they were not.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Ripple a really bad mummers. Huh is it ripple a

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 3>really bad drink?

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know the drink I think so.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Sweekeren and fries just are strange myths overall, you know,

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 5>all right, quick glance at yields, you could see little

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 5>change right now. They were up, they were down, they're

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 5>up again, and now they're kind of I mean, they're

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 5>just all over the place. But we do have a big,

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 5>big week in terms of issuance next week, one hundred

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 5>and fifty billion dollars of threes, tens, and thirties, which

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 5>will be shortened next week because of Veterans Day. So

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of supply to absorb next week. Just

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 5>something to keep in mind here because there's no official

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 5>data that we're dealing with right now. We also have

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 5>headlines coming out with Israel's outlook revised to stable from

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 5>negative by SMP. And so if you look at the

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 5>Israeli shekel, the dollar sinking to its session lows versus

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.559
<v Speaker 5>that currency. So the shekel is at its session highs

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 5>in terms of strength, the dollars at session lows versus

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 5>the shekel. So we'll continue to keep an eye on that.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Carol, Oh, thank you so much.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Carla.

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Hey, let's get to some stories that definitely have caught

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 3>our attention. So as we are in the longest government

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 3>shutdown thirty eight days in counting, we'll see whether or not,

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 3>like we did see some movement today, but we'll see

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 3>whether or not it comes to an end sooner rather

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 3>than later.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 5>We are looking at.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Different statistics to figure out what's going on in the economy.

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>And here's an interesting story. A slump in cardboard box sales,

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 3>stoking fears of weak holiday retail shopping season. US corrugated

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>box shipments fell to the lowest third quarter reading since

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty fifteen. This according to data from the Fiber Box Association. Yes,

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>there is one Factioning companies have warned that economic uncertainty

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 3>is weighing on retailers and consumers, with box plants reporting

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 3>tim flat or below normal orders in the month of October.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah events of corugated cardboard can serve as a demand

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 4>indicator for food and consumer goods this time of year,

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 4>though critical for the box industry because shipment's typically peaking

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 4>October as retailers prepare for the holidays. So it gives

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 4>us a good idea of or potentially could give us

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 4>a good idea of, what demand could look like in

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 4>the holiday season.
