0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm Emily Grifeo and with us is Bloomberg Television Markets

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>correspondent Nora Melinda. All Right, Noura, We're going to start

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>with a consumer company on the move.

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's look at shares of McDonald's. This is take

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 3>our MCD. We're seeing shares up about two point six

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 3>percent right now, and this is after they actually saw

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 3>some customers really feeling enticed by their discounts. I mean,

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 3>the McDonald's really been throwing a lot of discounts out there,

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.959
<v Speaker 3>trying to make it easier for a lot of these

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 3>consumers to grapple with the higher tear of environment, and

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 3>that seems to apparently be paying off here as we

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 3>really are seeing consumers doing you know, a lot of

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 3>these fast food restaurants doing okay with consumers still willing

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to go there. But you are seeing fash casual restaurants

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 3>like Kava for instance, Ticker Cava and others like Chipotle,

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of those fast casual restaurants, it seems as

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>though consumers are not really willing to pay as much anymore.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Interesting and in McDonald's here though, this is a sign

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>then that people are trading down. People who may have

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>been going to a more expensive restaurant are now turning

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>towards a cheaper option, right, And of course we do

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>know that when you think about the lower income consumer.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Of course McDonald's tends to be in the rotation if

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 3>you think about where you'd like to get food and

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 3>places where you can kind of get it on a budget.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, I do think that you are seeing

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>even McDonald's, which has been known to be more affordable,

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 3>actually having this gale back and can create prices that

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 3>are lower, more reasonable for the consumer to essentially, you know,

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>to meet them where they are, if you will, and

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 3>to continue to entice them here because it's not really

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>working out for the likes of Kava for instance, where

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>you are seeing consumers not wanting to pay as much

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 3>for fast casual restaurants. Yeah, Kava bowl a slot bowl,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 3>if we can call it that, it's expensive now. They're

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>pricey fifteen sixteen dollars, especially here in New York City.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Of course ours are priced a bit higher, but you're

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 3>starting to see people saying, hey, I'm not willing to

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 3>spend this type of money on of course food and

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>essential but if you think about fast casual a discretionary

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>item here, So you are seeing a lot of people

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>starting to trade now and you're definitely seeing McDonald's benefiting

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 3>from that. Okay, and then.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Kava ticker Cava, that stock was down as much as

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>four percent, but it's about flat right now, Where did

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>we learn from that move?

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Today? Hearing its decline, but still the stock has really

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>had a rough year. Here's are down about fifty four

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 3>percent so for a year to date, and this is

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 3>of course the company slashing its full year sales growth target.

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 3>They're saying that foot traffic has stalled in the third

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 3>quarter and they're really seeing cost consumers that are financially

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 3>squeezed here really foregoing a lot of the fast casual restaurants.

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 3>As we've been discussing here, I mean we heard from Shakeshack,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean we heard from Chipotle. We've been hearing from

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of those in the fast casual space, and

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 3>it seems to be the same read through here consumers

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 3>struggling right now?

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>What is the Nora Melinda Bloomberg, Television Markets correspondent, lunch order.

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm not at Covex, you're not at com I have

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>to run over to Chipotle, which I know is one

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 3>of your favorites.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>EMLA, Yes, I do like Chipotle. I recently discovered the

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Chipotle hack. You can order from the kids menu now

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and you can save money.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if there you go.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the read into the consumer outlook.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>There is that love the kids right ordering from the

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>kids menu? But yeah, I mean everything's getting more expensive.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of expenses, tickets are expensive, going to concerts are expensive.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>What's Live Nation doing right?

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Are we still doing that right? People still going to concerts? Well,

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 3>we are seeing we did see a sales miss for

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Live Nation here. That's sicker LYV and An. It's really

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 3>saying this is a good but not great reports. They

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 3>do see long term prospects that still remain promising. But

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 3>in terms of this current time period, you are seeing

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of consumers not spending on concerts. Of course

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>another discretionary items. We're seeing shares of Live Nation down

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 3>about eight and a half percent, right, now as we speak,

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>but earlier Plunch looking for their worst day since twenty

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>twenty three, down as much as ten percent. But the

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 3>company did also talk about some income tax pressure, particularly

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 3>from the Trump Tax and Spending bill. But really what's

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>being underscored here is the consumer that we're still keeping

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 3>a very close eye on.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Interesting right, and so Live Nation missing on revenue and

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>concerts revenue. So the revenue's eight point five billion versus

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>estimates about eight point six one Northlinda, thank you for
