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 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some of the individual stocks 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 3: on the move today. We are joined by Bloomberg's equities 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: reporter Joe Easton. And Joe, we're going to start with 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: a j bell ringing in the games. 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: Why well, the ringing, yeah, the bell yeah, okay, Non, 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you there and a minute, So it's a 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: complicated and it took me a second to catch that 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: though it works. AJ Bell ringing in the Games up 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: ten percent. That is the most in a year. So 13 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: the investment platform company doing well. They had their earnings 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: out this morning, beating expectations in the first half of 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: the year. In the same results will be above guidance. 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Now in the statement they say how the volatility in 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: April was positive for the company. So swings in the 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: markets giving people the opportunity to trade. And then with 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: all the headlines that we saw around Trump's tariffs, the 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: financial market's just in the news. The kind of time 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: where you know your mates in the pub to start 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: asking me and all of us that work here what 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: to do with their investments. And therefore the retail investment 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: company is actually doing really well, and Aja Bell being 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: one of the main ones, and that one is rising 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: ten percent in terms of their stock today. 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 4: It's okay if you can get an app that keeps 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 4: the costs down for your investment as a retail investor. 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 4: But that's you know, it's pretty tricky, as you say, 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: in terms of traders who are worried about the outlook 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 4: for games Workshop. What's been going on with that company? 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 4: I hear so much about games Workshop. 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so games Workshop. This is Warhammer, so the company 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: that owns Warhammer, the tabletop games. So it is a 35 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: model elves and goblins. Of course we don't talk about 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: elves and goblins enough. 37 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: Please don't describe me. 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: No, Yeah, where can I go with that? I think 39 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: I'll leave. I think I'll leave that there. But look, 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: and some gremlins lurking for this one. So games Workshop. Basically, 41 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: this is a stock that pretty much outperforms consistently, it 42 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: has done over the past few years. Got added to 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 1: the footsie one hundred. So this is interesting because it's 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: not video games much. It is actually people meeting up 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: and painting these models and playing a tabletop game at meetups, 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: and actually that's what the main core bulk of the 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: business is. They have actually done video games and that 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of thing on top of that, but the core 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: business is actually physical over the board games, and they've 50 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: done really well over the past few years. But it's 51 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: a rare earnings mess for them today and the stock 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: is actually down three and a half percent, one of 53 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: the worst performers in Europe today, so kind of just 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: slightly missing the top end of expectations. A lot of 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: positivity was priced in on that one. 56 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you have a collection on a shelf somewhere? 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: No, not, I should should do it, maybe just for 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: some research. 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you're more comic on which is happening the weekend? 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be me. 61 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 3: I can see Joe in an outfit, a comic on outfit, 62 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: can you. Yeah, we'ld have to imagine which one. Maybe 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: maybe for a trip to the darts. 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 4: Let's have a think about other stocks, shall we. It's Friday, 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: We're having too much fun. Hexagon considering a spin off. 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: Lots of sides to this story. 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: I wrote that pun so I'm taking credit for that Hexagon. 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: So this is actually a thirty billion dollar company over 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: in Sweden, which it hasn't real I haven't really looked 70 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: at it much in the past. It's kind of off 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: the radar, but it is an engineering company that does measuring, 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: so anything that needs to be measured, and there is 73 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that needs to be measured. This 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: they basically measure it. So that could be mostly you'd 75 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: thinking in aerospace, in autos and consuming goods, anything like that. 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: And it's a thirty billion company. As I say, they're 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: actually looking to spin off one of their businesses called software. 78 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: It is a supplier in some of those sectors I mentioned, 79 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: like aerospace. They bought it for eight hundred and thirty 80 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: four million dollars from Elliott a couple of years ago, 81 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: and they could potentially be selling it for two billion 82 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: dollars according to the Bloomberg Deal's team, which is on 83 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: a roll again with their exclusives, and therefore we're seeing 84 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: Hexagon gaining today around three percent. Again it's a pretty 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: quiet market today, so this one is actually one of 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: the best performers over in Sweden and in Europe, up 87 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: three percent on that potential spin off. 88 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: The stock movers report from Bloomberg Radio.
