00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Let's bring in normal in DA Bloomberg Television Markets correspondent

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: for look at some stocks on the move today, Nora,

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: what do you have, Well, we've been.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 3: Looking at financial stocks. They are the worst performing sector

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: in the S and P five hundred, and of course

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: that's largely due to the fact that we did get

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: news that President Donald Trump is calling on credit card

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: companies to cap interest rates at ten percent for a

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: year now. This deadline is for next Tuesday, January twentieth,

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: And this has really been a bipartisan issue. We've been

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: seeing both sides of the isleverally pushing to crack down

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 3: on a lot of these credit card companies, especially given

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: the fact that a lot of card interest rates are

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: hovering above twenty percent over the past few years. But

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: there are concerns from a lot of experts who are

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: coming out essentially saying that this could potentially wipe out

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: earnings from cards for a year, and it could potentially

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: incentivize some of these companies to stop lending at the

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: caliber that they have thus far right now.

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course we have JP Morgan kicking off

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: bank earnings tomorrow, so it's going to be really interesting

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: to hear what CEOs say about these.

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Credit card caps.

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: Nora, what else is on your radar?

28
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'm also looking at shares of United Health. This

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: is taker you in h We're seeing shares that are

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: slipping about one point four percent right now as we speak.

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: Earlier down as much as two point nine percent. This is,

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: of course, after the Wall Street Journal reported that a

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: Senate committee is investigating the company's practices that found at

34
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: the company deployed quote unquote aggressive tactics to collect payment

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: boosting diagnoses for its Medicare advantage members. So you are

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: really seeing this weighing on shares as investors are really

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what the potential implications of this

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: could be. I mean, this is a stock that's really

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: been battered. I mean it's had three back to back

40
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: years of declines. If you take a look at the

41
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: share action. Just last year, we saw the stock fell

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: thirty five percent for twenty twenty five. So we'll just

43
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: have to see whether or not this company is able

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 3: to really eke out a turnaround story.

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, in need of a turnaround story for sure. What

46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: about the third one?

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: Yes, looking at the consumer space, So restaurants, shake shack

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: is where I've got my eyes right now, let's take

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: our shack shak. We're seeing shares hire by about four

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: percent right now as we speak. This is after the

51
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: company report of preliminary fourth quarter sales that were below

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: Wall Street estimates. But we are still seeing shares hire

53
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: as investors are really trying to figure out what are

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: some of the tailwinds here. I mean, they did to

55
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: today expect sales to expand by low single digits in

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. That's compared to analyst expectations for two

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: point four percent growth. But they did also mention that

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: they planned to open ninety five to one hundred and

59
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: five company operated and license locations this year.
