Speaker 1: about a tenth of a percent, closing right around that

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640

Speaker 1: hundred each lower by about two to three tenths of

12

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: of its gains on the day, hire by four points

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: or two tenths of one percent. But we should point

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: out at one point, Carol, it was up a full

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: two percentage points.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: Got to say, we were thinking about you. We know

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: you like to talk about that index and just kind

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: of watching the move, but you know, certainly a little

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: bit different by the end of the day. Hey, S

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: and P five hundred, guys, I know you're going to

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: get into the industry groups there remain, but you did

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: have about two hundred and eighty eight names actually gaining

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: on this FED Wednesday, two hundred and thirteen to the

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: downside two unchanged.

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's kind of interesting though, I mean, you

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: talk about, how do you get two hundred and eighty

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: eight names, the majority of the names in the smb rallying,

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: yet it finishes in the red. Well, A big part

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: of the reason is well, tech was pretty much at

31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: the bottom of that list as a sector. It was

32
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: the worst performing of the eleven sectors out there. Your

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: leaders are on the day where a lot of the

34
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: economic or ressus ME interest rates sensitive sectors, including financials,

35
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: they were your gainers here on the day. Utilities also

36
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: getting a pretty strong bid as well.

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a lot of red there right when you

38
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: really kind of break it down in that way. Hey, listen,

39
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: let's get to some of the individual gainers workday. This

40
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: was a standout in both the S and P five

41
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: hundred the Nasdaq one hundred at one point, let me

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: just see, up about ten percent, almost ten percent at

43
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: its highs of this session, finishing though still with about

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: a gain of about seven and a quarter percent. Companies

45
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: Board authorized a buyback of up to an additional four

46
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: billion dollars worth of shares. And also you had Ellied

47
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Investment Management unveiling a two billion dollar plus investment in

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: the company, the activist investor saying the company's CEO and

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: his team have made substantial progress in recent years driving

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: growth and customer retention. They put out a statement yesterday.

51
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: So investors moving into that one investor.

52
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: And did you take a look at like just kind

53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: of the long term chart on this, I mean just

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: really one of the biggest laggards in this space that

55
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: we've seen.

56
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: No.

57
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: I know, you're right, a long term perspective always important

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: on this one. But to see some investor momentum at

59
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: this point. But that's what an activist investor will do.

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: We'll get investors to take a second look. Hey by

61
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: do also anperformer finishing pretty much at its best levels

62
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: of the session. I'm looking at the ADRs tack or

63
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: BIDU finishing up more than eleven percent in today's session.

64
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: It is China's largest search engine operator. Overnight, I should

65
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: point out shares jumped in Asia the most in over

66
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: two years, in analysts upgrading the company, citing the growth

67
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: potential for its in house chip business. So you had

68
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of analysts coming out. Our Research Services lifted

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: its radio and by American ad rs to buy from

70
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: sell it. It held the only Cell recommendation on the

71
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: stock since that downgraded it last May. So this one

72
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of other analysts coming out and weighing in.

73
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking at me. I'm a little nervous, you know.

74
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 4: No, you're good. Okay, I just feel bad about Krispy Kreme.

75
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to get to Krispy Kreme. Let's go there.

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: This is this is Tim moving me along. Stock was

77
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: up about eleven and a half.

78
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: That'sion. That's why I feel bad.

79
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 3: Still leaking out a gain, but not even a one

80
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: full percentage point. Sorry, Carol.

81
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: I convinced her to do it. Romain, I said, you

82
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: got to.

83
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Do that's a big story.

84
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: I know it was a bigger.

85
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: So what's the deal now? The FBI director what is he?

86
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Is he like taking over Krispy Kreme? What's happening?

87
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: No? No, he's got a day job already, and he's

88
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: also been pretty busy, you know. Answering questions from members

89
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: of Congress, the FBI director Cash Ptel, questioned by one

90
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: representative before the House Judiciary Committee about stock purchases from

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: a disclosure for me he signed in July. He was

92
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: asked about the transactions, including one in a national coffee

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: house chain that would be this one, and also one

94
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: in a semi conductor company on semi conductor was on

95
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: the move too, But yeah, I thought we'd ste this one.

96
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: And just the too quick, honorable mention. I just want

97
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: to point out PayPal jump popping about three percent on

98
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: that partnership with Google, and of course Lyft now at

99
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: its highest level since twenty twenty two. Carol on News

100
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: here of that partnership with Weimo.

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: I'm glad he did Lift because now I can talk

102
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 4: about Uber. It was the second biggest decliner in the

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 4: S and P five hundreds.

104
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't even plan this out.

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: We didn't. We didn't down five percent.

106
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: Of TV to this earlier. I'm sure you planned a.

107
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: Lot of As remain mentioned, Lift is partnering with weymoud

108
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: offer robotaxi service in Nashville starting next year. May sound

109
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: kind of familiar because Uber has a lot of these

110
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: deals already. This one is the first one between Weimo

111
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: and Lyft. Weimo is already an established partner with Uber.

112
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: These two companies have struck multi year deals back in

113
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. Uber now offers Weymo trips in Phoenix, Austin,

114
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: and Atlanta. So Uber declining on the news that Lift

115
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 4: is now playing with Waimo as well. Also not all

116
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: IPOs in the last few weeks doing stellar. Look at

117
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: stub Hub today actually fell six point four percent in

118
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: its debut, falling below the IPO after the ticketing platform

119
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: raised eight hundred million dollars in its IPO. The company

120
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: sold thirty four million shares at twenty three to fifty

121
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: and its market value is about eight and a half

122
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 4: billion dollar. That's based on the outstanding shares listed in

123
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: its earlier findings. And finally, General Mills found today by

124
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: eight tenths of one percent, even though the company reported

125
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: just earnings per share for the fiscal first quarter the

126
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: top testimates.

127
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: I just want to point out you mentioned StubHub falling

128
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: below its IPO price, which point out Gemini Space, which

129
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: went public last week at twenty eight bucks a year

130
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: open at thirty seven, closing below that twenty eight dollars

131
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: price at twenty four and change. Here on this Wednesday afternoon,

132
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: we are expecting some earnings I believe out of Cracker Barrel.

133
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: They are crossing the wire right now, Let's take a look,

134
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: of course, a company that has been in the spotlight

135
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: mainly for political and cultural war reasons. Well, this is

136
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: bottom line story, and the bottom line is a miss

137
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: seventy four cents a share in the most recent quarter

138
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: of the street was looking for seventy six incent since

139
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: a share. The revenue did come in above estimates at

140
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: about eight hundred and sixty eight million dollars. Here's the

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: company's guidance going forward for twenty twenty six, which is

142
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: basically the fiscal year that they are in right now.

143
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: They say that revenue will be in a range of

144
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: three point three to five to three point four to

145
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: five billion, the high end of that range below the

146
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: average of analyst estimates a three point five to two billion.

147
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: All right, I'm looking through the press release, and yes

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 4: there is commentary on the logo controversy. It's the first

149
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: thing and pretty much the only thing that's mentioned at

150
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: the top. Julie Messino, the company's president CEO, said, quote,

151
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 4: we thank our guests for sharing their voices and their

152
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: passion for Cracker Barrel. In recent weeks, and we've listened

153
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 4: switching back to our old timer logo, hitting pause on remodels,

154
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: and placing even bigger emphasis in the kitchen and other

155
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: areas that enhance the guest experience. Many elements of our

156
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: plan are working well in delivering results.

157
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: Well, I got to say, this is a style nightmare

158
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,279
