Speaker 2: The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Stenebeck along with Carol Masser. We're joined by
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Television Markets correspondent Nour Melinda Nora. Where do you
Speaker 3: want to start?
Speaker 4: Well, I've got my eye on managed care companies. I'm
Speaker 4: looking at Humana. Let's take our hum and United Health,
Speaker 4: You and HCBS also in focus. We know that United
Speaker 4: Health is actually the best performing stock in the S
Speaker 4: and P five hundred by a percentage basis, sing its
Speaker 4: best day since August. This is all after the US
Speaker 4: agreed to boost twenty twenty seven payments for private Medicare
Speaker 4: advantage plans by about two zero point five percent. This
Speaker 4: is more than initially proposed, and it's essentially a relief
Speaker 4: when we think about the fact that this industry has
Speaker 4: really been struggling. It's been under pressure, especially given a
Speaker 4: lot of the federal cost cutting efforts. But we do
Speaker 4: see that this rate increase may actually let companies expand
Speaker 4: their margins. Yet next year. So we are seeing the
Speaker 4: street really celebrating this for some of those companies. But
Speaker 4: we do know, as I mentioned, it's been a tough time.
Speaker 4: Shares of Humanity down about twenty two percent year today.
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these companies have been under pressure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Been a tough ride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but interesting and they are among the top performers
Speaker 1: in the S and P five hundred this Tuesday. All right,
Speaker 1: let's slip it on over to Paramount Skuid Dance. I've
Speaker 1: never heard of that.
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of that company?
Speaker 4: Team?
Speaker 1: It's not like it's been in the news forever. In
Speaker 1: the last I thought.
Speaker 4: We were done speaking about it, but we were not.
Speaker 3: Never.
Speaker 4: Never.
Speaker 3: In the media industry, we talk about the media industry,
Speaker 3: we will do exactly well.
Speaker 4: We all know the ticker Peace Guy. The stock is
Speaker 4: up earlier, surging as much as thirteen percent. We know
Speaker 4: it's been in the news because of that tussle back
Speaker 4: and forth between Netflix and Paramount's Guidance to get Warner
Speaker 4: Brothers Discovery, where we are hearing some news from Paramounts
Speaker 4: Guidance essentially saying that they entered into equity syndication agreements
Speaker 4: with golf funds to support their acquisition acquisition of Warner
Speaker 4: Brothers Discovery. Wall Street likes this shares a paramount guidance
Speaker 4: up about nine and a half percent right now as
Speaker 4: we speak. The stock though down about twenty percent so
Speaker 4: far in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: What are they doing?
Speaker 4: They're essentially going to get the golf funds to help
Speaker 4: support their purchase of Warner Brothers Discovery.
Speaker 1: Oh you mean Persian Golf, right, Oh, so they're going
Speaker 1: wait wait.
Speaker 4: No, sorry you're saying. Yeah, the inter deals with the
Speaker 4: Public Investment Fund, which is a vehicle of Abu Dhabi
Speaker 4: Sovereign Wealth Funds and a vehicle of the Katar Investment Authority.
Speaker 4: So it seems as that they're getting a bit of
Speaker 4: support here for this deal.
Speaker 1: Oh I see, So they're getting support because absolutely the
Speaker 1: amount of death that they're taking on and the size
Speaker 1: of this deal, right, this has been some concerns. But
Speaker 1: tapping the Persian Golf and then interesting like with everything
Speaker 1: going on, but yeah, yeah, deep pockets over.
Speaker 4: There, we'll talk about everything that's been going on. We
Speaker 4: do have a stock that's in the Red Delta Airlines
Speaker 4: taker DL going down. We're seeing because we are seeing
Speaker 4: that the company said it's going to increase charges. No
Speaker 4: surprise here, we do know with all the conflicts going
Speaker 4: on in the Middle East, we were expecting that the
Speaker 4: costs might actually be offset and onto the consumer. And
Speaker 4: we're hearing that Delta Airlines is actually going to be
Speaker 4: hiking fees for checked bags between ten to fifty dollars
Speaker 4: a piece. So your first bag will be forty five dollars,
Speaker 4: your second bag would be fifty five dollars, your third
Speaker 4: bag two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Work. This is why we have to fly business, because
Speaker 1: then we don't have to pay for those bags. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying in the end, to think about the bags.
Speaker 3: Good thing. I don't check bags.
Speaker 1: I do get the bags going and coming back. You
Speaker 1: add it up.
Speaker 4: And it makes it.
Speaker 3: It has feelings of this story. It holds why well.
Speaker 3: I mean, when you travel with kids, you have to check.
Speaker 1: You have to travel with When you.
Speaker 3: Travel with Carol Massa, I say, don't.
Speaker 1: Wait, I carry my bags. I'm like, I'll meet you.
Speaker 2: At the gate.
