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
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager, joined by Bloomberg's Valerie Tyeelan A good

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: morning to do it because a lot of stocks are

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: moving off the back of regulatory filings.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Val good morning, Hey, good morning, Nathan. You were seeing

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: shares of Google jump near five percent in pre market trade,

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: leading the gains of the mag seven and leading the

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: nastac Hire this morning on the back of thirteen F

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: filings that showed that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway built a

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: near five billion dollars steak in the company in the

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: third quarter. Now, Warren Buffett is talked at length about

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: missing some of these tech stocks, but it's funny that

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: he chose it now to buy in to Google in

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Now, remember these are mostly backward looking,

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: but I guess investors are as maybe shocked as I am,

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: that Warren Buffett has made this move. So Google shares

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: reacting quite positively this morning. I should note, then the

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: thirteen F filings, they didn't show all good news when

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: it comes to big tech holdings. Warren Buffett trimmed as

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: holdings of Apple by fifteen percent, and we're seeing the

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: shares of Nvidia in the red on the back of

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Peter Tiele's hedge fund selling off most of its holdings

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: of Nvidia in the third quarter, NVIDIAs in the red

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: down half of one percent, and this comes after recent

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: lines that SoftBank also sold off their six billion dollars

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: worth of holdings. Both of these funds opted to exit

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: their holdings of Nvidia amid concern about a rising AI

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: investment bubble. But I have to note Nathan that a

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: big analysis of the thirteen F filings showed it was

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty equally split between the same number of hedge funds

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: increasing their stake of Nvidia to those that have been

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: decreasing their stake. So it just seems these big splashy

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: ones are the ones that have been exiting, but it

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: has been mostly balanced. And this all comes ahead and

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: video reporting Wednesday after the bell very likely to set

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the tone for the AI trade in ta Yeah, it.

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: Kind of feels like in video week, doesn't it. Valiance,

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: we've got a little bit of maybe some merger Monday

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: news in the media space.

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one's really interesting. So this also do with

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: local TV. We're seeing Sinclair news that also in the

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: back of regulatory filing should I say they're thirteen D filings,

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: has taken a eighteen sorry excuse me an eight percent

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: steak and eight percent stake in EW Scripts. So we're

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: seeing the shares of EW Scripts of seventeen percent Sinclair

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: in the green as well, up two percent after this news.

50
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: So the Wall Street Journal is reporting that these two

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: companies have also been discussing a potential merger and that

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Sinclair has increased its stake in order to add pressure

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: on Scripts to agree to a sale. Now, those that

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: are not familiar with local TV networks, Sinclair is one

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: of the largest owners of local TV stations. EW Scripts

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: also owns a portfolio of local TV stations in over

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: forty markets. It's had some recent success us due to

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: its rights over WNBA games. Now, Sinclair's board in the

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: past did sign off on a plan to examine potential acquisitions,

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: so it does seem like it's lining up that EW

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Script could be one of them. And this comes on

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: the back of a more favorable regulatory background, with Trump's

63
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: new administration pick to the FCC leaning towards allowing further

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: consolidations in the local TV space.

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So, moving on from thirteen F and thirteen D filings,

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: we're seeing some big analysts downgrades on computer hardware companies.

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all down to Morgan Stanley. They have

68
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: downgraded a lot of the names in the hardware space.

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: One of them receiving a double downgrade was Dell. We're

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: seeing shares of Dell down nearly six percent in the

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: pre market trade. They also downgraded Hpe and HP, so

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: we're seeing shares of Hpe down two point eight percent

73
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and shares of HP down one percent. This on the

74
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: back of a big call from them about a sluggish

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: demand for hardware in the near future, and they're also

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: citing a memory supercycle increasingly posing a risk to earnings.
