Speaker 1: We are joined by Bloomberg's Valerie Titel. On a morning

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: where stocks are moving on earnings and they are getting

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: hit hard. Have to start Valerie with FedEx.

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: Good morning, Hey, good morning, Nathan, Happy Friday. FedEx shares

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: dropping over eight percent in pre market. They have lowered

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: their full year guidance for a third consecutive quarter. It's

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: the latest US company to sound the alarm over weakening

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: consumer confidence and a potential falloup from the escalating trade war.

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: Fed excited weakness in its higher margin business to business volumes.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: The CEO also added that the current environment is adding

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: uncertainty to underlying demand and the stock had its price

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: target cut by various cell site analysts this morning. Wells,

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 3: Fargo ubs among those names. That's FedEx dropping over eight

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: percent this morning, and.

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: We're seeing a weight on Nike shares as well. It

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: sounds like it could be a similar story there in

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: terms of the outlook.

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: Nike shares down five point seven percent this morning. The

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: sports where maker issued a weak outlook for the current

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: quarter and its turnaround efforts are facing a growing list

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: of challenges, one of them being an inventory glut weighing

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: on margins. That being said, it is feeling the impact

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: of the growing trade war as well. Nike does produce

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: some of its shoes and other items outside the US

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: in places like China and Mexico, and the CEO noted

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 3: those tear risks also weighing on their outlook. That's Nike

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: down five point seven percent.

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: And we got some tech earnings as well from Micron Technology.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one originally looked pretty positive. The stock originally

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: jumped six percent, but it's now in the red. Micron

36
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: down three and a half percent. It's a race that

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 3: Postmarket gained despite strong sales forecasts for the current quarter,

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: bolstered by demand for its AI products, those being its

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: high bandwidth memory chips, which are used primarily in data

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: centers and vital to AI systems. Their price target was

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: actually raised as well by Morgan Stanley, but it seems

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: the investors and the markets are taking a less kindly

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: i to their results this morning, Micron shares following three

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: and a half percent.

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: And this morning I saw we got earnings from Chinese

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: automaker Neo. They've got shares that trade in the US.

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: How are they doing?

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're ADRs dropping nearly four percent this morning. This

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: is one of the larger Chinese Chinese EV manufacturers. They

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: came out with a statement flagging that first quarter deliveries

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: are likely to disappoint. After ten years of trying to

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: track trying to crack the EV market in China, Neo

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 3: is still struggling to turn a profit on a full

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: year basis. It's one of the larger EV manufacturers in China.

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: But we do have the largest EV manufacturer bid reporting

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: before the bell on Monday, so maybe overshadowing that we

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: could see. Also some strugg from BYD. But that's Neo

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: down three point eight percent pre market.

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: That is a lot of red on the screen this morning.

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Is there anything in the green to watch today?

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: We'll end it on a positive note. Nathan Lockheed Martin

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: shares are rising over two percent. Bloomberg has reported the

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: White House is poised to announce on Friday the winner

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: of its contest to build the next generation Fighter Jet

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: could be Boeing. It looked like they chose Lockheed over

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: its partner Boeing, and maybe we get an announcement from

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: the White House later today. That's Lockheed Martin up two percent.
