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
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: Let's get over to an Italian ki Jaevitch. She's gonna

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: walk us through some of the single stock stories that

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 3: we're following this morning. Italia.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 4: Yes, and as you mentioned, we have some news about deals. So,

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 4: for example, Metta agreed to buy Manus. This is a

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 4: Singapore based AI agent with Chinese roots. Metasures are flat

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: and pre market, but nevertheless it's an interesting deal. So

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 4: the deal values Manus at about two billion dollars. This

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 4: is according to sources, and they also told Bloomberg that

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 4: this deal was struck in about ten days. According to

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 4: a statement, Meta plans to continue operating and selling Manus service,

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 4: but also it wants to integrate its into its own products.

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: So this startup is bagged by some of the biggest

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: Chinese names like ten Cent. It's AI agent can complete

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: different tasks like screening resumes, analyzing stocks, et cetera.

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 5: And it is a profitable business.

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: So Manus had an annual revenue of about one hundred

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: and twenty five million dollars earlier this year, and this

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: could also give Meta some more immediate return on its

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: AI spending.

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Eighteen times revenue just extraordinary, but it's pocket change for them.

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: Imagine, dude, these guys bought WhatsApp. I know nineteen billion dollars.

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: I know that was like nineteen billion times revenue. I know,

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: exactly exactly right. Nobody cares. So this is a small deal.

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: What else do you have for us?

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's check Tesla. So we have Tesla.

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, shares are slightly higher in pre market today. So

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: Tesla posted a compilation of what analysts expect from our

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: car deliveries. So and these numbers are more pessimistic versus

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: data compiled by Bloomberg.

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 5: So, for example, by.

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: Tesla's count analysts, on average, you expect that the company

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: will deliver slightly above four hundred and twenty two thousand

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: vehicles in the fourth quarter, which is down by fifteen

38
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: percent from a year earlier. And according to Bloomberg data,

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: that decline would be about ten percent. So again this

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: is more pessimistic compared to Bloomberg's data. And then, of

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: course we know the Tesla isn't paced to post second

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: consecutive decline in annual sales. So yeah, pretty pessimistic picture,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: but we will see how it plays out. But the

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: stock still is still up on a.

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Year getting Tesla no cares cars anymore, and he's he

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: being you know, on must as successfully diverted investor attention

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: away from the bending metal to more of the story

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: side of the game.

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: They could stop, they could stop producing cars. Who cares.

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: It's a one and a half trillion dollar company. If

51
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: you add Ford's market cap plus GM plus Toyota plus

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: Folkswagen plus f Ferra plus kodigs Egg plus you go,

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: like every single car maker in the world they don't

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 3: equal this market cap.

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 5: Still, We're going to talk to Craig Trudell about.

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Tesla a little bit later. There we go, all right

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: any more.

58
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: Yes, so we know that futures are flat, but we

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: have lots of activity in commodities space. So, for example,

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: natural gas futures are up by seven percent US net

61
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: gas futures today and I'm looking at shares of companies

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: including EQT.

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: This is one of the largest US natural gas producer shares.

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: Our slightly hired a couple of reasons behind the movie

65
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: net Gas. So For example, we know that forecasters now

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: expect temperature in January will be colder than previously expected.

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: Then we have domestic stock piles of natural gas which

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: fell below five yar average. We have more demand from

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: LNG gas expert terminals along the Gulf coast, and we

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: see some short covering according to some traders, So lots

71
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: of bullishness in natural gas.
