0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm Tim Staneveek along with Carol Master. Let's take a

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 3>look at some stocks on the move today. We're joined

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 3>by Bloomberg News Equities reporter Alexandra Semenova. Alex please tell me

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>you brought something that wasn't in the green today?

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I do, I do?

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 3>I have to prepare for my decliners later.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>The company I'm going to start with, though, is in

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the green today. I know it's been hard to focus

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>on anything beyond the macro story, but a lot of

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>idiosyncratic stories underneath the surface, and one of them that

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>everyone's talking about is Synopsis. Activist investment management firm Elliott

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Investments it made a multi billion dollars investment in Synopsis

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>million rather the chip design software maker. It plans to

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>push for changes at the company, as it does with

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>most of its activist stakes. Elliott managing partner Jesse Cohene

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>actually said in an emailed statement that he sees a

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential with this company. It is essential to

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the global chip industry. He said that changes in chip

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>complexity and investment make Synopsis uniquely positioned to benefit from this. However,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>they think that they could do much better clearly given

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>this investment, they say, we look forward to engaging with

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the company to help align operational execution, profitability, and monetization

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>with its potential importance in the semiconductor ecosystem. And Elliott's

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>activist campaigns have generally gotten a positive reaction from investors.

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>They tend to push for shareholder value, profitability, and just

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>general improvements at the company.

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're a pretty good activist, right in terms of

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 4>bringing back It's fascinating look at Synopsis over the last

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 4>couple of years, with everything that's going on in the

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 4>semiconductor space, it's really struggled. I mean it's done a

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 4>little bit each year, but you compare it with some

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 4>of the other names in the space, they've really had

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 4>a tough time.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, perhaps this could mark the much needed reversal that

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>they need.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 4>All right, so let's go to I love these next

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 4>two names. These are definitely two gainers. And actually Tim

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 4>was like, you got to do these as Gainers taken away.

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Super interesting to see Draft Kings and Flutter up today

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>they are taking off after the Wall Street Journal reported

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that US senators are set to introduce a bipartisan bill

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to ban sports bets on prediction markets, which obviously have

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>been taking off. These companies have struggled exactly as people

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>moved to websites like Kelshi and poly Market. The bill

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>pertains to entities regulated by the CFTC, including those exchanges

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>like Calshian poly Market. This is according to that Wall

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Street Journal report, and they could now be blocked from

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>listing sports events contracts, which is a good thing for

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>DraftKings and Flutter given the facts that they've struggled with competitions.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>There was that big Bloomberg story about during the Super

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Bowl everyone just gravitated toward a Calshian Polymarket.

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, I asked Tark Monsur about this last week,

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>because you know, maybe there could be a scenario where

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>they can't do the sports predictions on the on the

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>on the prediction markets, and he didn't really answer the

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 3>question about whether they would narrow their business, if that

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 3>would if that would become a possibility. I think the

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 3>big thing to keep in mind for these prediction markets

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 3>is that in some cases it's ninety percent of what

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 3>they're doing.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 4>That's why I said, what's less then for them?

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Going to mean for them?

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Even though from our perspective, there's a lot of interest

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 3>around Okay, what's inflation going to you know, what's the

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 3>inflation print going to be? What's the Fed going to do?

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you make money? Do you make enough money off

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 4>of that? Right?

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's just leaning on active.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Videos, got the man. We're just talking about prediction markets

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 4>though in their impact and so much lately. All right,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 4>let's get to MasterCard.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here is a stock that is not doing so

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>well today. It was hit with a multi billion dollar,

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>multimillion dollar bill after a Brazilian bank collapse. Basically, the

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>issue was that the payment network behind cards issued by

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the fintech arm collapsed and when the bank failed, card

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>holders still had billions of dollars in outstanding charges and

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>master Card was forced to pay this off. It stepped

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>into pay retailers, covering about half of those transactions, and

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>now is going to the liquidator to make sure to

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>get that money back with the stocks?

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>App is it?

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>It was?

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 3>It was this is what happens on day crazy?
