WEBVTT - Weekly Roundup: Intel Rallies, Oracle Rises, Darden Restaurants Falls

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm Carol Masser along with Tims Jenevick. Let's take a

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>look at some stocks on the move this week. We're

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>joined by Bloomberg cross At reporter Isabelle Lee. So god,

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>there was so much coming at.

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Us this week, so much, but we have to talk

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 3>about Intel. The stock is up more than twenty percent

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 3>this week, so optimism was just really everywhere after Nvidia

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 3>agreed to invest around five billion dollars in Intel, and

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 3>they said that both of them will code develop chips

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 3>for PCs and data centers. So this is a surprise

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 3>move from Nvidio because they're really helping an ailing arch rival,

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 3>and of course you can imagine Intel Intel shares just jumping.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 3>So Intel said it will use in Video's graphics technology

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>in upcoming PC chips and provide processors for data centers.

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 3>So the agreement is expected to help both of them

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>because of course both of them can't really reached the

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 3>entire market, but it will help them reach markets that

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 3>they haven't reached.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Just yet.

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 3>And again, I think this just really speaks to invidious power.

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like one of those moments you complete me.

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Video is saying to Intel you complete me. Jerry

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 4>Maguire help saying to Video you complete me.

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 3>That's what marriage is supposed to be, I guess, or

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>any kind of partnership. This isn't the different.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 4>I have a different view on this. Oh yeah, It's

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 4>like it's a very savvy move by in Video. I think,

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, think about who one of the largest owners

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>of Intel is right now, it's the US government. What

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 4>happens if in Nvidia makes this commitment, a five billion

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 4>dollar commitment to this company. I like, this guts up,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 4>it does sense. But I will say, to push back

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 4>on my own comment, we spoke to Ed Ludlow all

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 4>about this at one point this week, and he had

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 4>spoken and heard from Jensen Wong and Bhutan and uh.

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 4>The the story is that this was in this this

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 4>was into discussions before the US even took the stake.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 4>So it's like you said, it's strange, bedfellows, but.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 3>It's right, and it's a pragmatic approach by Intel to

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>just really go along with it. But also just is

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>a show of force on how Nvidia can really dictate

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 3>what goes on in the industry based on their sheer size.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>No, it's a really good point. It's like it almost

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>feels like all roads lead back to Nvidia in so

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>many different ways, all right, from Intel to another tech

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>name that I feel like has been on our radar

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks, but then like late Friday

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>really came on our radar.

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 4>That's Oracle.

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Ticker is ourcl So it's up five percent for the week,

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 3>but the boost was really on Friday, and the stock

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 3>was up on Friday four percent. So Oracle is said

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 3>to be in talx with Meta for a cloud computing

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>deal worth around twenty billion dollars. So under this multi

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 3>year deal, Oracle would be providing Meta with computer computing

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 3>power for training and deploying AI models. That's according to

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 3>people familiar with the matter. So the total commitment amount

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 3>may increase, of course, but it's not final yet. But

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 3>the contract would add to a series of wins for Oracle,

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 3>and it's generally cloud computing business. So last week we

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 3>know that Oracle reported huge increase in bookings, and of

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 3>course that push it push it stocked on all time

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>high and made Larry Ellison for a brief moment the

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 3>richest person.

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Honors Elon's backup on top.

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, it's just really staggering when I

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 3>imagine their wealth, But that's another story.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 4>I think even though he's the second, I think he's okay.

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 4>I think Larry's he's okay.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Damn.

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Even if you're in the one hundredth list, even in

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 3>your one thousand, I think that's okay.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, thank you for that clarification.

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of wild, you know. I took a look

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>at Oracle because, like we've talked about what a run

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>as had year to date here, but if you go

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>back to kind of the middle late portion of April,

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>stock is up one hundred and fifty one.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Pretty sent Yeah.

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I feel like we've been talking about Oracle

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>so much and how it's really been, you know, working

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>on beefing up its AI cloud business.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Listen, if you're the richest or the second richest person

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 4>in the world, you can afford a lot of all

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 4>you can eat breadsticks from Olive Garden. I love this

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 4>seg Are they all you can eat?

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Only I take salad and I have.

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>To say when my dad, he used to love this

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>in his older age because I think you can get

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>all the salad you want, the breadsticks. It was really

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>sweet and had soup and I don't know, it was kind.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>Of a fall.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 3>So the stock we're talking about is Darden Restaurants. Take

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>our dri I and I picked this because it's down

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.799
<v Speaker 3>for the week, it's down twelve percent. So Darden Restaurants

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 3>reported disappointing first quarter fiscal results on Thursday, So this

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>prompted a slew of analysts to really just slash their

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>price targets, from Barclays to Bairds. So Darden owns one

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>of the fan faded restaurants like Olive Garden. I've been

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 3>to one and Longhorn. I haven't been to one. Have

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 3>you guys been to.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I've never been to Longhorn. Olive Garden absolutely.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally wall.

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Is there an Olive Garden in New York? I don't

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 3>think I was in New York when I.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I have not been to one in New York. Yeah,

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 4>they're used. I believe there used to be. I don't know.

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm not even gonna say it. I don't want to

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>get it wrong.

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I just have to tell you they used to

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>have this meal was like the tour of Italy, and

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like a little bit of either

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>eight plant palm and a little maybe a little I'm

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>getting hungry cat get like three like different things.

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I was all it that sounds yummy, because I'm

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 3>glad you brought that up. Because one of the news

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 3>that came out was also that all of Garden will

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 3>have smaller portioned, lower priced entrees, and of course that

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 3>reflects broader shift and dining. Millions of Americans are taking

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 3>weight loss drugs and also just really not going out

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>to eat because it's expensive. But I like this because

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I always tell my husband sometimes I wish restaurants would

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 3>offer half a portion, even if they make it more expensive,

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>like let's say a whole dish is twenty dollars, and

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 3>if half a twelve dollars, I'd still take it because

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 3>more than spending twenty dollars, it's I just feel like

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm wasting so much treat.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>You take it home, you take it off the forest,

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>and the next day or a little puppy gets up.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 4>I like it because then you know, when my wife

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 4>doesn't finish the food. She just sees me staring at it,

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 4>and she just pushes you are it's like human, like

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 4>a human garbage disposal. That's what you can.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 3>That's good I get. I think the So it happens

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 3>with when you have little kids too. They say, yeah, right,

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>interested everything.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Darton, as you said, down thirteen percent this week, So

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a bummer. You are always a pleasure.
