0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Stock Movers podcast, your roundup of companies making moves in

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's take a look at some stocks on the

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>move today in Europe. I'm Valerie Title with Caroline Hepger,

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>when we're joined by Bloomberg's equities reporter Chloe Melay. Chloe.

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's start here in the UK with AstraZeneca posting some

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>strong earnings.

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely good, quite a strong second quarter set of

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 3>results this morning. So we've got better than expected sales

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>and rising profit in the second quarter. That's you to

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of two main things. So first of all, a

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 3>real focus on cancer medicines, so that's the bet that

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 3>the CEO, Pascal Saria, has made and it's really paying off.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>And then also a really strong focus on the US.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 3>So you'll remember that very recently AstraZeneca announced a plan

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 3>to invest as much as fifty billion dollars in the

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 3>US by twenty thirty for manufacturing and for recent and development.

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 3>So this focus on the US and this focus on

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 3>oncology is really working well for astra Zeneca. If we

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>look at kind of catalysts going forward. A lot actually

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 3>hinges on a potential blockbuster breast cancer drug called Dataway,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 3>but Ashra said that it was pushing back the results

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>of that study on that drug to next year rather

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>than this year, so it was supposed to come out

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>this year. So investors will be really keeping a close

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 3>eye on this and that will be key for the

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>share performance because Ashrazeneka, despite those strong results, has been

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 3>underperforming some of its spears like nevaratists in Switzerland for example,

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>So we'll be keeping an eye on that going forward

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 3>as well. Yeah.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I mean asked a fifty billion dollar manufacturing investment

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 4>in the US is significant. UK lost that on some

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 4>investment too. That was a few months ago, but you

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 4>know that's very significant. Phillips this morning sawing why.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Phillips said, it's really interesting reversal from Phillips.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>So it actually raised its profitability outlook and there's just

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 3>a couple of months after actually cutting it. So it

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 3>said in it kind of an outlook in May as

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 3>was due to the tariff impact, to the impact of

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>the trade war, but then today it said that the

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>impact of that trade war was actually not as bad

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>as it originally feared. So it raised it again. So

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of a quick turnaround if you think about

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 3>the fact that it's over the course of just two

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 3>months that it kind of digested that impact and raised

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 3>that outlook again. At the time in May had estimated

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>a hit of as much as three hundred million euros.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Now it sees an impact of just two hundred million,

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 3>so it's quite quite a bit a significant drop there.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>This really provided kind of a relief to the Shes

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>They have been struggled. They have been struggling over the

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 3>last year or so. That was due to the trade war,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 3>which obviously the worries there are lifting a little bit,

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 3>especially with the new trade deal, but then also weakness

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>in China and that is still continuing however.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah so shares a Phillips jumping more than ten percent,

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 1>one of the best performing stocks in Europe this morning,

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>very quickly on a Stilantis. A bit of a different

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>picture there when it comes to their terraforming.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely so. They are estimating a one point two

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 3>billion euro hit from tariff's in the second half of

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 3>the year. They also lowered the guidance for operating margint

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>they see low single digit They had seen mid single

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 3>digit as obviously of the back of the pre release

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>that they had last week where they announced that two

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>point three billion euro loss and this falsett of earnings

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 3>really did not reassure investors, and we are expecting more

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 3>and more of that tariffon certainty weighing on stillantis and

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 3>on the wider maybe car making sector as well, despite

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 3>that trend deal.
