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
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 3: with us is Bloomberg TV's markets correspondent Normal Linda in

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: the house. Let's talk about United Health ticker un H.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: What's going on here?

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: While speaking of healthcare, we're looking at shares of United

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 4: Health up about one point eight percent in trading right now.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: But what's really in focus today is the fact that

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 4: a nonprofit advocacy group who's also a shareholder of you

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 4: and AH, they filed a proposal here. Essentially, they're wanting

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: them to distinguish between the board chair versus the CEO.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: So currently Stephen Hemsley, he assumes both of these positions here,

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: but they're really calling for them to have some sort

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 4: of separation here between who leads the board versus who's

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: the CEO. So we are seeing shares kind of reacting

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: off of this a little bit. I mean, as you

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: think about kind of the advocacy here at his campaign

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: in a sense, shares up about one point seven percent.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: So it sounds like they're just looking for stronger leadership structure.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: And you know, remember I feel like years ago and

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 3: maybe was it coming off the financial crisis, you definitely

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: saw that separation from share and CEO, thinking that there

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: needed to be more of a kind of separation when

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 3: it comes to see the senior leaders.

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: And that's what's definitely being underscored here.

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Okay, what's next on your red AARNRA looking.

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: At USA rare Earth here that's taking looks are I mean,

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 4: they've been in focused so much today We've been taught

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 4: recently rather with all the stakes that the government's been taking,

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: and that's exactly what we're kind of thinking about here.

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: So we're looking at shares of USAR up about fourteen percent,

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: rising for double digit gains right now. This after CNBC

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: reported the fact that the company is in close communication

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: with the Trump administration. When the company was asked whether

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: or not I'd be open to a deal with the

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: Trump administration. As we know MP Materials also it's other

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: peer lithium Americas. They already have established stakes here that

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: have been agreed upon in regards to the US government.

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: We know Trump has really been having you know, a

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: field day trying to kind of take stakes in somebody

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: these companies like Intel and a few others here. So

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 4: that's what we're looking at right now. Definitely getting a

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: boost here which you could share it.

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: Can I just say? The stock is up fifty percent

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: in the past three trading days.

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: Insane?

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

50
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Also, I did not know this, but I'm looking at

51
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: USA Rares because we've spoken to these folks in the past.

52

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,519

Speaker 4: of the doors of its vehicles after customers really laid

00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,600
