Speaker 3: I want to get a look at some stock movers here.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: Holiday shortened week, a good first day here for Wall Street.

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Nice Monday to kick things off. Warner Brothers Discovery though

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: still in the news. Norm Melnda here with a breakdown.

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 4: Nora, Yeah, I mean we've been seeing so much action

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 4: when we look at Warner Brothers Discovery. I mean, Paramounts

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 4: Guidance has really been in focus throughout the trading day today.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: We did see shares of that company ending higher. That's

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 4: ticker WBD for Warner Brothers Discovery and Peace Guy for

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 4: Paramounts Guidance. We had Larry Ellison, one of the richest

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: men in the world, agree to personally back with his

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 4: fortunes Paramounts Guidance's bid for Warner Brothers Discovery. So we've

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: really been seeing this tug of war Netflix on one end,

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: Guidance on the They're really trying to see who will actually

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: be able to take over aspects of this company here.

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: What about First Solar, what's going on that First Solar.

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: We've been seeing a lot of activity as well. We

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: did see shares higher. This is after news that Alphabet

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: will be buying clean energy developer Intersect Power. We know

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 4: that this is one of the company's biggest deals aimed

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: at boosting its AI related data center footprint. So you

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 4: did see for Solar rising just given the fact that

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: it is actually a customer there of intersect Power. So

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: Intersect Power has been a customer of First Solar, excuse me.

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 4: So we've definitely been seeing some activity there in the trade.

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I feel like right up until the

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: last day of the year, there are going to be

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 3: these AI deals because again this is data center deal

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: right Withoutphabet, so it really is about once again powering

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: the AI boom. And I feel like just every other

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: day we're just seeing another deal. So thanks for bringing

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: us for Solar. Round things off here with clear Water Analytics.

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: Cwaan is the ticker.

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: What's going on there right, clear Water analy We did

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: see a group of private equity firms agreeing to buy

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: this company. About eight point four billion dollars is the

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 4: deal that we're talking about here. But analysts did say

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: that this deal price was lower than anticipated, but if

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: you think about how the street was really viewing this,

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: we did see shares moving higher, so clearly investors are

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: buying in on this, but analysts are saying, hey, maybe

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: this wasn't the right price that we were looking for, so.

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: Maybe very quickly, Nora, as this stock market correspondent in

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: Bloomberg TV, was there anything that really shocked you or

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: excited you as you cover these individual names this year?

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Maybe a favorite right talk about?

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: I mean, there's been so much and as you called

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: out just a bit earlier, I've been looking a lot

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: at the tech space. I think that that's really been

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: doing much of the market this year and in the

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: more recent previous years. So it'll be interesting to see

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: what we end up seeing for twenty twenty six. And

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: a lot of the eyes more recently has been on

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: quantum computing stocks, which we talked a lot about today,

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: as investors are really trying to see what is the

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: next AI play and how can they be ahead of

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: the curve.

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: That's interesting because the Back of America wrote in a

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: note recently that they don't see that the AI players

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: are in froth like levels yet, but quantum and nuclear

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: stocks may be so That's an interesting point that you bring,

65
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: and I feel like even in the ETF world, those

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: are the thoughts that have been popping so far in.

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: Very speculative space. I mean, if you think about the

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 4: fact of financing and the revenue that they have, they're

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: only talking about tens of millions of dollars here versus

70
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: maybe a big tech player that brings in riks in

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: billions of dollars in revenue. So it really is a

72
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: bet on the future that investors are making here for

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: companies that haven't necessarily yet displayed the profitability that investors

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: are looking for.

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: You know, guys, I always love the ri A D

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: go function on the terminals see what people are reading

77
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: most read article? Did you guy? Guys already look at

78
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: ri A D.

79
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Don't look at it.

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: I'm not going to cheat it.

81
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: What do you think. I mean, it was on top

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: go all day, So I mean.

83
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm thinking Warner Brothers Discovery has to be bo bingo story.

84
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: You got it. Ari Ellison pledges forty billion to bolster

85
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers. But it's hard not to click that hard

86
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: not to want to read story because.

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: They almost have to because almost every day or nearly

88
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: every day, there's a development. And again this is again

89
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: another development with Larry Ellison throwing his personal fortune behind

90
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the Paramount. Did what could it be next week or

91
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: what could it be in the next month? I mean,

92
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: who knows. And even our guests earlier when we talked

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: to them, Molly Shoots and the gentleman from Stephen Flynn

94
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Stephen Flynn, Yes, they both were great, and they also

95
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: didn't know because it's just really unpredictable.

96
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they I mean they're actually really seeing this going

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 3: well into next year. We just don't know, you know

98
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: about what was it about two weeks ago? We thought, okay,

99
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: Paramount's taking this to the shareholders, the shareholders will speak

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: and we're just going to move on.

101
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: And then even Warner Brothers Discovery, I mean, they were

102
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: talking to their shareholders essentially saying, hey, guys, we already

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: had a deal, an initial deal with Netflix. They were

104
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: essentially kind of giving them a nudge, saying, you know,

105
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 4: we think that you should seek with Netflix as well.

106
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: But then you have this play by aary Larry Ellison.

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to see what actually happens as materializes.
