<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

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

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm Tim Staneveek along with Carol Master. Let's take a

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 3>look at some stocks on the move this week. We're

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 3>joined by Bloomberg News Equities reporter Jordan Fitzgerald.

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 4>What'd you choose?

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 5>I brought a bit more of an interesting mix this

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 5>week than just talking about SanDisk over and over and over.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>That was last week.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 5>That was last week. Feels like it's every week it does.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 5>But I thought Maderna would be an interesting one to

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 5>talk about today. Healthcare stocks did underperform today, but Maderna

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 5>had this rip of a week, up twenty two percent

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 5>week over week. That's the best week since May twenty

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 5>twenty four. And there are kind of multiple reasons why

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 5>this is in play today. Our beautist Biopharma lost a

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 5>patent appeal that would have boosted its case against Maderna.

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Vaccine makers rose early this week as doctors reaffirm their

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 5>dedication to vaccine recommendations in the face of RFK Junior's

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 5>MAHA endeavor and earlier this week, Maderna forecast full year

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 5>revenue that came in line with estimates. So there's some

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 5>there's some good things going on there, and it's been

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 5>having a tough time.

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 4>It's okay, tough time.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 5>And if you if you look at it on a

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 5>technical basis, if you ask some technicians, Maderna's in this

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 5>rounding bottom pattern that could end up fairly bullish, but

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 5>also one you maybe don't want to put all your

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 5>bets on because it really isn't doing as well as

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 5>it was a couple of years ago.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>At that If you were bullish this week on the

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.279
<v Speaker 1>name number one gainor in the S and P five hundred,

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you did, okay.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 3>We spoke to one of the co founders of Moderna

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 3>earlier this week, newbar Fan, you were out, I was

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>at This was tuesday. You can check out that interview

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>on our podcast feed.

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, where shall we go next?

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 5>I think Constellation Energy we can't, we can't ignore today.

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 5>Constellation Energy down more than ten percent this week. That's

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 5>the worst week since April when Liberation Day was really

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 5>billing the market. And it's all part of this energy

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 5>power news that we've been grappling with. Trump is trying

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 5>to address how data centers are really putting costs on consumers,

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 5>and when consumers aren't paying, companies make less money. And

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 5>so these utility companies, as as Trump is pushing this

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 5>emergency power auction, are droppings as investors are forecasting that

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 5>maybe you know, Constellation is not going to make as

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 5>much money as it would have without this.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, it makes me want to and let me

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just see, like do a little technical function like an

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>RSI on it. And it's definitely moving towards being over

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>sold and just a technical thing, but we've talked about

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the fundamental story behind it so carefully.

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>The point on our program on Friday that when we

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>did see a lot of the declines that you know,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 3>the infrastructure investments that would lead to more power supply available,

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 3>which would then lead to lower prices is so many

0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 3>years away.

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 4>That you were a little struck by. I mean that's

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 4>a big drop the move. Yeah, and just how quick

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 4>that happened. Yeah, it's a I LinkedIn.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 5>I think everything we see with AI, it's it's more

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 5>reactive than you know other categories are, and so you

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 5>are going to get these big swings. I mean, Constellation

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 5>is a stock that, in my opinion, tends to move

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more dramatically than some others, and so

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm not surprised that if the group is down, that

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 5>Constellation is the biggest decliner.

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think time will tell, right, if you're going

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to if they're talking about, you know, expanding power capacity,

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it's power plants, whether it's nuclear, like, all of

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>this stuff takes time. It doesn't happen like this. It's

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>going to take several years. And so you do wonder

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>are these companies really going to be hurt that much

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the shorter term and it's maybe a longer term play.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens like on Tuesday, right or next

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>week exactly when they come back in terms of trading.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's go to CarMax.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I think I was poken around on the terminal

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 5>earlier and I discovered something pretty interesting. So CarMax was

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 5>of eight percent this week, closed at the high since September.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 5>But CarMax is actually up twenty six percent in twenty

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 5>twenty six so far, and that puts it on gains

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 5>comparable with Micron and Western Digital, which are these you know,

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 5>very sexy names that we talk about all the time

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 5>because of this physically, I play and yet CarMax is

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 5>there outperforming the S and P five hundred, outperforming the

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 5>MAG seven and outperforming in twenty twenty six. So far

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 5>it's peer company Carvana.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>The moves have been crazy on this.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just with year, I mean the volatility, No, which

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is how much to the upside?

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean Carvana is up as well?

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Or you doing Carvana no CarMax, CarMax, Yeah.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 5>Twenty six percent. If you bought CarMax on December thirty first,

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 5>you'd have a twenty six percent return in.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Just a few weeks.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 5>And you know, the used car sector is seeing some strength.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, both Carvana and Carmacks saw a big dip

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 5>in November, and so traders have been buying that dip,

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 5>and some preliminary data show that used car sales could

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 5>be up year over year. But it's interesting to see

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 5>CarMax so far out from Carbona on that metric too.
