<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm Carol Masser along.

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.479
<v Speaker 4>With Tim Stanovich. Let's get to some stocks on the

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 4>move on this Thursday with us as Bloomberg News senior

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 4>reporter and deputy team leader for US Equities Jess Manton.

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 3>And Jess, we are seeing.

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 4>IPOs in another one today it is and.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 3>It's really hot on this especially.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 5>We're keeping a lot of our reporters busy with Bailey

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 5>Lipschultz or a key IPO reporter, as well as Georgie

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 5>McKay on equities team. So looking at Figure Technology, the

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 5>ticker is f IGR. So this is the latest tech

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 5>company to benefit from investors newfound appetite like Carol is

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 5>talking about for IPO space. So this company is actually

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 5>a blockchain lender. And if you're looking at what happened

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 5>with today's trades, so it actually began trading on the

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 5>NASDAC under that ticker, and it opened at thirty six dollars.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 5>While it's pulled back slightly from that, it's currently trading

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 5>around thirty one dollars fifty cents. That's still above word

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 5>IPO at twenty five dollars, so that actually gives it

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 5>a figure around raising around seven hundred and eighty seven

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 5>million here, and it really joins this growing list of unicorns,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 5>which is really important context when we think about the

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 5>IPO market the last few years, but then looking ahead

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 5>in what it means here, so this buy now, pay later.

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 5>The lending company Klarna actually made its stock debut just yesterday,

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.919
<v Speaker 5>so it rose nearly fifteen percent from its IPO price.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 5>Then you also have other stable coin providers like Circle

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 5>earlier this year, as well as design software platform Figma,

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 5>So you'd really have a lot of momentum going right

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 5>now as far as what's going on in that type

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 5>of space, and particularly in the crypto area as well.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Gem and I the winkle Y crypto exchange. Then

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>outside of crypto, even more IPOs on the horizon, Blackrock

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Coffee legions, and then via the rideshare app. Yes, we

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>expected ipo too.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>So we have a busy few week this week as well.

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 5>And then of course, actually if you put in context

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 5>for this week, this is the busiest week for IPOs

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 5>since arm in twenty twenty three, So we have stub

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 5>Hub actually coming next week, so that's the ticket resale company.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Unbelievable.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>But you know you've got to market that's hitting records, right,

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 4>So if you want to introduce a new issue, this

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 4>is probably.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>The market to do. To the economy too.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Senteen is another one that you're watching. Yeah, that's moving.

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 3>The ticker is CNC, so this is a health insurance.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.399
<v Speaker 5>Was the top performer in the S and P five

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 5>hundred earlier day if you were looking at the MLV function.

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 5>Now it's in the top three, behind Synopsis and Warner Brothers.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 5>But actually reaffirmed its annual earnings outlook that it actually

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 5>had already issued in July.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>So it did reaffirm that.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 5>It also gave partisitive views on Medicare star ratings and

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 5>said it expects cost improvements in its medicaid business. If

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 5>you look at some of its peers like Molina Healthcare MOHS,

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 5>the ticker on that up six percent. Also, Elevant's Health

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 5>is up two point six percent as well, so you're

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 5>seeing its peers moving. But I want to put in

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 5>context if you at year to date through yesterday's close,

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 5>for centeen, its stock had dropped nearly fifty percent this year,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 5>so still has a long way to go. If you

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 5>look on the cell side, the A and R function

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 5>of the terminal five buys fifteen holds one cell. Barclay's

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 5>strategist Andrew Mock he actually is an equal weight rating

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 5>on the stock. He was talking about how that Medicare

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 5>update was better than feared, with the company seeing medical

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 5>cost improvement in the.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Second half of the year.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 5>So you're seeing some bright spots there, but still really

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 5>tough year when you were looking at where that year

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.119
<v Speaker 5>to date performance was before today's.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Games, Okay, well, not a tough year for Oracle. I

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>know this is a big one. Yesterday it was, and

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>today maybe giving up some of those games.

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Our CL's the ticker down a little over six percent

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 5>right now, so on pace for its worst day since

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 5>April fourth, from earlier this year. So you were just

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 5>alluding to tim the massive run that we saw in

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 5>this stock yesterday, so it had really historic rally. It

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 5>actually was up thirty six percent on Wednesday, so that

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 5>was its best day since nineteen ninety two. So the

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 5>context there, it had reported this stellar cloud demand numbers

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 5>and then The Wall Street Journal on top of that,

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 5>yesterday also had reported that Oracle had struck a three

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 5>hundred billion dollar deal with open Ai. But if you're

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 5>looking today, actually GP Morgan, the Drivets decks, they actually

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 5>had been crunching numbers on the retail investors side of things.

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 5>So you actually saw retail investors selling aggressively into Oracles

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 5>rally yesterday after buying those shares on Monday and Tuesday,

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 5>So you have a bit of a retail story there.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 5>And then of course, if you look beyond that, as

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 5>well as some of the other peers that were outperforming

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 5>yesterday too. Broadcom AVGOS the ticker symbol, that stock's also

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 5>down more than two percent today.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>That had been among some of the big gainers yesterday.

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 5>And then of course I have to point out Vistra

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 5>vst is down more than two percent as well. That's

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 5>tied to the data centers that had been jumping yesterday,

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 5>as well as AMD Advanced micro Devices. But both of

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 5>those stocks are also lower on the back of this,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 5>after a lot of them had a tremendous run yesterday.
