<v Speaker 1>I'm Carol Masser along with timstead of It. Let's get

<v Speaker 1>to you some stocks on the move. And joining us

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>to do that is our own Isabelle Lee joining us

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in the house, and she is starting with the place

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that used to don't know if it still does had

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a massive menu.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're right, maybe it still does, Cheesecake Factory, Ticker's Cake.

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.319
<v Speaker 3>When Scarlett saw all my stock options, she said, we're

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 3>taking a trip to the mall.

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 4>So okay, we will start first with the dessert. Kay,

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 4>thanks for everyone. Yes, shares Our.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Indo red six tens one percent after the restaurant chains

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 3>comp sales during the fourth quarter came in below average estimates,

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 3>so the results spurred a downgrade from Stevens to equal

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.319
<v Speaker 3>weight from overweight. The analyst there said that Same Star

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 3>sales declined two point two into quarter and desalbrated sequentially,

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>and with chairs already up some twenty seven percent year

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 3>to date, he just doesn't see any upside from there

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 3>unless there is a change in earnings growth year over year.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 3>At Jeffrey's they said, you know, softer same story sales

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 3>in the fourth quarter given the challenging demand environment, whether

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 3>impact governments shut down, et cetera. But I mean, I

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>guess it's not that bad because Barclays raised their price

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>target to fifty eight from fifty one dollars. So kind

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 3>of mixed there.

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 4>But you're right, maybe they do still have a big menu.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Tellia put what'd you say?

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 5>Two hundred and fifty items?

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I just I remember it used to be like a book.

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I used to go because it was kind of good

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>for my little critter, who was, you know, picky and

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>then sot as my dad was with us and could

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>also be picky.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 5>Cheesecake.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can get a sampler they used to

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>be able to, and you get all these little ones

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and their cheesecake's great.

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 5>This menu is huge, I know.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And the course, well, the portions used to be gigantic too,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>so you could get two meals out of it.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So when we're done at the cheesecake factory, maybe

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 5>we'll do a little shopping. What's next at the mall walking.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>We will go to Walmart, which is ticker WMT. It's

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>also in the red chair, sent down by six tens

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 3>of one percent. So they issued a forecast for the

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 3>full year earnings that missed expectations. So Walmart said they

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>need flexibility during this unpredictable times for consumers. So this

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>conservatism reflects just really the state of the Ywiss economy. Yes,

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>it's expanding at the solid clip, but you see little

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 3>employment growth. But it must be noted that Walmart typically

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>starts out conservative at the beginning of the year, then

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 3>they just adjust throughout. And they also sided a quote

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 3>hiring recession and pressures on shoppers as they continue to

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>forecast growth.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>That's tough, but what an interesting day. Like we've seen

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.119
<v Speaker 1>quite a swing because this one was up almost three

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>percent out of ties today and it's now kind of

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>hovering near its lows.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yes, so I feel like, I mean, it is

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of a mixed bag. Maybe it's not like

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>such a worse report, but it's kind of also a

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 3>little gloomy. I mean, it is viewed as a mega

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 3>buyback brought economy.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Thirty billion dollars, a new thirty billion dollars share buyback plan.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think they did you're right right boot at

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 4>the beginning.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>No, no, that it's a great end. It's a team

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>effort over here effort. I mean, listen, they did really well.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like you talk to anybody in the

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>retail space. We doct to Dana Telsey. It's in our

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>weekend podcast and broadcast which you can catch over the weekend.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Cheap teas there, but no, but she like people like

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>they've been doing really well with their digital strategy and elsewhere.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 5>Right, yeah, look, you do a cheap tease. I do

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 5>a cheap tease. Okay. Kate Oliver of Wayfair, she just

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 5>joined us on Bloomberg Business Week Daily. If you missed

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 5>that interview, check it out in the podcast feed Wayfair Nice.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 5>You could find Wayfair stories at the mall. She talked

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 5>about some of the physical stores that they're building, smaller

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 5>ones in Columbus, bigger ones elsewhere.

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 4>I do like a young millennial buy online.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 3>I furnished my apartment with Wayfair because it has every

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 3>price point.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 5>That's what she says.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 3>You can go high and you can go low, and

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>the ticker is cool. Just do w Anyway, So it's

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>not a good day for them because I.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Remember when it used to be like a really cool

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>thing if you ticker was just one letter. Yes, it

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>was a big dear liking for.

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Just w Can you imagine?

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 3>And the stock is down fifteen percent, not such a

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 3>good day, hitting a four month intra day low. So

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 3>this comes after they said that they expect a mid

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>single digit top line gross year over year for the

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>first quarter. Jeffries considered this to be conservative, and they

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 3>attributed to the colder weather to start the year. The

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 3>company also started during the conference call that their first

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 3>quarter gross margin will likely be at the low end

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 3>of the thirty to thirty one percent guidance range.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 4>So I mean, I like this.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>William Lair said, it's a solid print with nothing major

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>to complain about. But I guess, I mean, it just

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't meet a lot of the expectations. And that's just

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 3>what this earning season and the past has been about.
