1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
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
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm Emily Grifeo and with us is Bloomberg Television Markets

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: correspondent Nora Melinda. All Right, Noura, We're going to start

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: with a consumer company on the move.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's look at shares of McDonald's. This is take

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 3: our MCD. We're seeing shares up about two point six

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: percent right now, and this is after they actually saw

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: some customers really feeling enticed by their discounts. I mean,

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: the McDonald's really been throwing a lot of discounts out there,

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 3: trying to make it easier for a lot of these

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: consumers to grapple with the higher tear of environment, and

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: that seems to apparently be paying off here as we

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: really are seeing consumers doing you know, a lot of

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: these fast food restaurants doing okay with consumers still willing

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: to go there. But you are seeing fash casual restaurants

19
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: like Kava for instance, Ticker Cava and others like Chipotle,

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: a lot of those fast casual restaurants, it seems as

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: though consumers are not really willing to pay as much anymore.

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Interesting and in McDonald's here though, this is a sign

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: then that people are trading down. People who may have

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: been going to a more expensive restaurant are now turning

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: towards a cheaper option, right, And of course we do

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: know that when you think about the lower income consumer.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: Of course McDonald's tends to be in the rotation if

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: you think about where you'd like to get food and

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: places where you can kind of get it on a budget.

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: But I mean, I do think that you are seeing

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: even McDonald's, which has been known to be more affordable,

32
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: actually having this gale back and can create prices that

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: are lower, more reasonable for the consumer to essentially, you know,

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: to meet them where they are, if you will, and

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: to continue to entice them here because it's not really

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: working out for the likes of Kava for instance, where

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: you are seeing consumers not wanting to pay as much

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: for fast casual restaurants. Yeah, Kava bowl a slot bowl,

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: if we can call it that, it's expensive now. They're

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: pricey fifteen sixteen dollars, especially here in New York City.

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: Of course ours are priced a bit higher, but you're

42
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: starting to see people saying, hey, I'm not willing to

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: spend this type of money on of course food and

44
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: essential but if you think about fast casual a discretionary

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: item here, So you are seeing a lot of people

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: starting to trade now and you're definitely seeing McDonald's benefiting

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: from that. Okay, and then.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Kava ticker Cava, that stock was down as much as

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: four percent, but it's about flat right now, Where did

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: we learn from that move?

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: Today? Hearing its decline, but still the stock has really

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: had a rough year. Here's are down about fifty four

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: percent so for a year to date, and this is

54
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: of course the company slashing its full year sales growth target.

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: They're saying that foot traffic has stalled in the third

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: quarter and they're really seeing cost consumers that are financially

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: squeezed here really foregoing a lot of the fast casual restaurants.

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: As we've been discussing here, I mean we heard from Shakeshack,

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: I mean we heard from Chipotle. We've been hearing from

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: a lot of those in the fast casual space, and

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: it seems to be the same read through here consumers

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: struggling right now?

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: What is the Nora Melinda Bloomberg, Television Markets correspondent, lunch order.

64
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: I'm not at Covex, you're not at com I have

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: to run over to Chipotle, which I know is one

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: of your favorites.

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: EMLA, Yes, I do like Chipotle. I recently discovered the

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: Chipotle hack. You can order from the kids menu now

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and you can save money.

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if there you go.

71
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the read into the consumer outlook.

72
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: There is that love the kids right ordering from the

73
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: kids menu? But yeah, I mean everything's getting more expensive.

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of expenses, tickets are expensive, going to concerts are expensive.

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: What's Live Nation doing right?

76
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: Are we still doing that right? People still going to concerts? Well,

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: we are seeing we did see a sales miss for

78
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: Live Nation here. That's sicker LYV and An. It's really

79
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: saying this is a good but not great reports. They

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: do see long term prospects that still remain promising. But

81
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: in terms of this current time period, you are seeing

82
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of consumers not spending on concerts. Of course

83
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: another discretionary items. We're seeing shares of Live Nation down

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: about eight and a half percent, right, now as we speak,

85
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: but earlier Plunch looking for their worst day since twenty

86
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: twenty three, down as much as ten percent. But the

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: company did also talk about some income tax pressure, particularly

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: from the Trump Tax and Spending bill. But really what's

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: being underscored here is the consumer that we're still keeping

90
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: a very close eye on.

91
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: Interesting right, and so Live Nation missing on revenue and

92
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: concerts revenue. So the revenue's eight point five billion versus

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: estimates about eight point six one Northlinda, thank you for
