Speaker 2: Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

Speaker 2: the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Keen with Paul Smeni and Bloomberg's Lisa Matteo

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: working right to Happy hour on Friday. She has the

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Stock Movers. It's a podcast, Lisa.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: We do a lot of earnings to get through, Okay,

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: so we'll start with Tesla. Tsla down nearly four percent.

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. It was a record quarter of

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: vehicle sales, but profit fell. That extended the string of

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: weaker than expected profit to four quarters in a row. Now,

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: on the earnings call, Elon Musk, he spoke about a

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: few things. One, he talked about humanoid robots. He talked

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 3: about AI programs. He also talked about self driving technology.

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: He asked investors to back his trillion dollar compensation package too.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: But what he really failed to touch upon in what

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: else we're saying is that how Tasla is going to

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: revive its core business of selling evs. And that's what

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: kind of they wanted to hear and they didn't get

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: that there was a forty percent drop in operating profit,

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 3: so that was the issue there. Their operating expenses is expensive,

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: sort of fifty percent to three point four billion in

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 3: the quarter, and tariff costs exceeding four hundred million dollars

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: for Tesla.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's about being a car company anymore.

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: He's trying to get into the focus on all the other.

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Kids, just the car companies, all the other stuff.

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: Hope in prayers that's it is, But that's I would argue,

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: that's generally been the Tesla slash Elon.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Musk's story from day one time.

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: But now you're really have to hang your hat on.

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: All that, he said, Ludlow driving his Tesla with his

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: hands off the way I think he is.

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: Every time he he says he has a problem with

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: the Golden Gate Bridge.

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you fine, splashing.

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: Into the toll booths are an issue, he said, what

39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: do you got next? Okay, T Mobile to take your

40
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: tm US shares have been kind of back and forth.

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: We've been back and forth. So it basically gained about

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: a million new mobile phone subscribers. It raised its outlook

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: for the year. It was all kept a flow because

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: they had that recent acquisition of US Cellular and it

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: absorbed about four and a half million customers from that.

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: It's their highest third quarter result in that category in

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: more than a decade, so it was some good news

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: for them. What also helped drive new subscribers. The analysts

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: are saying it's the Apple iPhone seventeen release in September.

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: People wanted it, and so they kind of traded and

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: went to that and they expect to add as many

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: as three point three million wild Lift subscribers for the year,

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: about one hundred and thirty thousand five or home internet customers.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: But we've been talking about this big battle between them

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: at and T Verizon.

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: Where are you going to go?

57
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: And that's the question, where are people going now? I

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: don't I mean, there was a huge T mobile success

59
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: at one point, but I don't know really where it

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: is right.

61
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: It comes down to price. I'm actually going to start

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: shopping around so we'll see. Really, yes, I got to

63
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: cut and cut some expenses out somewhere.

64
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: If you're listening over to Mobile, a magenta.

65
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: T shirt, a new iPhone, there you go, what do

66
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: you got? Okay? I also want to go to IBM,

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: because their sharees have really been taking a hit, down

68
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: more than seven percent. Disappointing revenue. There were two key

69
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: software categories, including their closely watched red hat unit and

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: if you're wondering, what is that red Hat, So that

71
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: basically helps customers manage their data applications among different types

72
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: of computing equipment. But the investors see those categories as

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: critical to growth and they didn't see the growth, so

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: that's what they didn't like. Third quarter sales and that

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: hybrid cloud unit that includes red Hat increased fourteen percent,

76
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: which was a slow down from the previous period, but

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: also below estimates too, so investors were not happy with that.

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the stocket you know, had been up thirty

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: percent this year, so right, getting some of the AI

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: love a little bit. And part of it was due

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: to that red Hat, which was an acquisition they made

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, ten years ago maybe, and it was

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: a big big deal for them at the time to

84
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: try to turn this old stodgy tech company around. It

85
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: was working, so says on a Rock Rana. For years,

86
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: been a little bit of a hiccup.

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Here this quarter, have they succeeded?

88
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean on Rock Rana from Bloomberg Intelligence. It says, Yeah,

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: that was a good acquisition. They somehow turn this battleship

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: kind of in the right direction.

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: But a little bit of it because says this stock
