00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers podcast, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: Let's look at some of the individual stocks that are

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: on the move today here in Europe. I'm Caroline Hepget

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 3: and I'm joined by our Bloomberg Equities reported Chloe Malay. Chloe,

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning. So thinking about European stocks, Adidas

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: to shares are down.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Why so, on the surface, the results from Adidas this

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: morning were actually quite good to the profit be estimates.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: That was due to strong demand for its retro sneakers

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: like the Samba sneakers. We see those all over London.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: But this wasn't really enough to have set invest a

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 1: concern about two things in particular. So first of all,

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it reported weaker than expected revenue growth, so that was

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: weighed down by the stronger euro and then also the

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: end of the Easy franchise. And then secondly, and more importantly,

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: it disappointed investors by only reaffirming and not raising its

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: annual guidance. And that's obviously despite that uplift in profit

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: during the second quarter that I mentioned. So that means

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: that now the guidance actually sits below analysts expectations, and

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: the reason why the CEO didn't want to raise that

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: guidance is because of that continuing uncertainty around the impact

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: of US tariffs. He said that he expects the associated

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: costs of Adidas products for the US to reach as

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: much as two hundred million euros this year, and of

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: course that could have a knock on effect on consumer

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: demand there So that was the kind of reasoning for

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: not raising that forecast, but that of course disappointed investors.

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: Gosh, I'm surprised that the Yeasy brand, the conclusion of

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: that is still something that's weighing on addidus. I mean,

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: that's a really sort of old story, isn't it quite

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: interested in that? What about luxury names and shoppers are

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: turning away from Cowing's largest brand, Gucci.

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so in the luxury sector we had Carrying but

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: also ammez and so this is quite interesting because we've

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: seen with those two, we've seen a continuation of the

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: trends that we have seen over the last few quarters.

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: So high in luxury, like Almes is very resilient. You know,

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: if you can buy it back in bag, you can

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: buy it whenever, really, so you can buy anything even

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: when the economy is not good. Whereas the more aspirational

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: end of the market, so things that Gucci, they struggled

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more in terms of times of economic downturn.

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: And so we saw that today. So Emmes revenue rose

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: nine percent in the second quarter and carrying revenue fell

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: fifteen percent in the second quarter, so we can see

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: that divergence there, but the shares kind of responded in

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the opposite way. So carrying shares actually rose because the

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: resources was just not as bad as it was expected.

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: And then also there's a fair bit of enthusiasm for

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the arrival of the new CEO, Luca de Mero, who's

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: coming in in September. There's enthusiasm and hope that he

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: might turn around the fortunes of Caring, whereas AMA shars

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: actually fell because it's been trading so strongly and the

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: earnings momentum just does and look strong enough according to

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: analysts to kind of justify it continue to justify such

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: a high valuation.

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And I mean, if you really want to

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 3: be in with the in crowd, it's all about understanding

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: what the new artistic director at Gucci Demna, he's going

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: to deliver and we're going to get first hints of

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: that in September. But then the big revere will be

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: at Milan in mark Chare. So the fashionistas have told

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: me I will have on. Yeah, let's see, okay, Danone

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: that says that sales also beat expectations Activitia, yogurt and

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: so on.

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Dan, and yeah, it did did really well

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: this morning. Shares rose quite a bit, so volumes rose

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: across all categories, but it was really led by high

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: protein products. So it's really benefiting from the recent sort

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: of protein trends. So that's driven of course by people

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: on GLP ones that kind of need those high protein

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: products like like yogurt, like dairy, et cetera, but then

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: also just more generally health conscious consumers and there's a

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: real drive for for protein products.

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: That is.

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Those results were kind of really a vote of confidence

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: in the turnaround from the CEO, Antoine south Afric, who

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: took over from the previous year in twenty twenty one,

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: and that was following kind of a decade of stagnation

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: for the company. So it seems like he's really turning

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: things around. Another strong unit was the medical nutrition business,

84
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: so that includes infant formula but then also food for

85
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: cancer patients and the elderly. That's been boosted by Devon

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: and China, and there's quite a good growth outlook because

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: of the aging population, so that's interesting to look at.

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: And one negative spot was the water catchcrease, so every

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: involvic Apparently people don't want to buy.
