0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a look at some of the stocks on

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 3>the move today in Europe. We've got our breaking news

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 3>editor Louise Moon with us for that. I'm Stephen Carroll,

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>joined by Lizzie Burdon Louise. Let's start with Lloyd's saying

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>it will set aside another eight hundred million pounds in

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 3>compensation for motor finance claims to us.

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>More indeed, yes, so it's really it's laid out this

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>morning the exact additional amount that it's going to take.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>So it had already set aside over a billion pounds,

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>so one point one five billion pounds. And then last week,

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>following the FCA's ruling last week, they said there would

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>be another provision and that would be what they called

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>material at the time. So markets when reacting to that

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 1>last week, and then this morning they've said how much

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of this So it's going to be another eight hundred

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>ches did rise into the green after that, As I say,

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>they had already warned it would be material, and then

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>There was an interesting note actually this morning from Billion

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Bank Intelligence saying that they think that this additional amount

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>won't derail their shareholder distribution plan, so this is obviously

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>a positive, and that total provisions were kind of largely

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>in line with the general consensus from the bank. So

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems that the bad news has already kind of

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>been priced in it and shares are actually rising this

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>morning despite that additional eight hundred million pound provision. I mean,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>whilawis we've got Blackstone Vega bid for Big Yellow Group. Indeed, yeah,

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>this is a self storage company, landlord across the UK,

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 1>big name, you'll say, they're big billboards everywhere. So Blackstone

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>is in the early stages of money a bid. Big

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Yellow Group has a market cap of about two billion pounds,

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>so if a bid comes to light, you know, it

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>could be quite sizable. They say they're considering the macro environment,

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the potential impact of the UK budget and what that

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>will mean for the wider space. But shares a Big

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Yellow Group really rising on this, up about twenty percent

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of the most on record this morning. And this isn't

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the kind of the first deal that Blackstone has been making.

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>What is making in the space they bought Warehouse Reached

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>earlier this year. And then this morning Blackstone Europe also

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>announced they're going to be they're selling their logistics assets

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to tri Tax Big Box Read and that's for just

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>over a billion pounds and then they're going to take

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>a stake in Tri Tax as a result, and Tritax

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>was also rising on that. So a lot of movement

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>in the landlord space and Blackstone a big part of

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>that as well.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>We've also been watching astra Zeneca shares this morning as well.

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Talk us through what's been happening.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So there was news after market clothes late on Friday

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the AstraZeneca, the pharmagiant list in London, had made a

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>deal with the Trump administration and that was to lower

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>some of their prices, their consumer prices on drugs in

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the US in exchange for a relief on tariffs. So

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that's for three years. So obviously this came after the

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>market clothes on Friday, so we're getting some market reaction

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this morning on that. Initially shares were up and Les

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>was saying, you know, this wild likely provide some relief.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's quite a similar deal to an earlier one that

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Pfizer did one of their and it shows kind of

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a willingness from the US to preserve Sextor fundamentals, so

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that the shares were initially rising, they are now trading

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>slightly lower. That there's a lot of uncertainty essentially around

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>in the sector and also Astrazenek, and it's been kind

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of battering their share prices over the past here or so,

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to do with pricing, to do with tarifs, it's been

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a big overhang. So potentially some of the uncertiety is

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>still there, but we'll be keeping an eye on their

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>share price through the day.
