00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 3: Time to take a look at some of the stocks

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: on the move. I'm Lace Matteo alongside Paul Sweeney, and

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: we are joined by Bloomberg's Bildanna Heirich. Bildana, thanks for

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: joining us this morning. Do you want to talk about

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: Google parent Alphabet all over the headlines this morning?

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course that's a big one. And we have

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 4: shares of Alphabet that's ticker Googl rising up one point

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: five percent currently. And the Google parent did report second

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 4: quarter results that beat expectations. The company said demand for

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 4: artificial intelligence products did boost quarterly sales and now requires

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: a big increase in capital spending in capex, and this

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: is something that's heightening pressure on the company to really

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: justify the cost of keeping up in the AI race,

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: which I know all of us are closely following among

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: all of the tech giants.

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, them taking up their cap backs number. I

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: took it immediately as a bullish sign. I mean they're

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: ready to spend more on this AI thing. I don't

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: know what the playoffs is going to be. Dan Salmon,

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: where is he a benchmark securities? He came out a

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: good note a couple of days ago, really trying to

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: quantify the turn on invested capital for all all these

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: big hyper scalers, and the returns over time do scale

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: according to his work. So I have to see how

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: that goes.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: All right.

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: One of my favorite companies, Las Vegas Sands.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: Favorite.

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: There, and I love their property in Singapore and it's

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: doing well. I think there's an awesome property. You got

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: to see this. Go google the Las Vegas Sands Hotel

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: and in Singapore, the casino is up on the top floor.

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: It's just awesome.

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: I've not been to that one, but I did come

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: back from Vegas recently from a conference, which is why

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: this this stock and it's moved today was so interesting

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: to see. We actually we didn't say on this trip.

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: It was a conference and Bloomberg was paid. It was

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: a cheap one.

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: He don't worry about it. I'll take care of you.

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: But I was interested in it because some of the

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: some of the floors actually felt a bit empty to me.

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: So but we have Las Vegas Ayants taker L vs. Climbing.

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: Shares are climbing today, up some four percent, and the

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: Casino Resource Operator, as we just said, reported adjusted earnings

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: per share for the second quarter that beat the average

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: analyst estimates, and analysts were attributing the beat to the

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: solid performance in Singapore which was offsetting some weakness that

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: we saw in Macau.

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: And United Health also in the headlines today.

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: Yes, definitely that one has been, it feels like, in

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: the headlines for for quite a while. Shares it down

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: some three percent after news that the companies responding to

57
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: criminal and civil requests from the US Department of Justice

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: about some of its Medicare practices. UH and the company

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: did come out and confirm reports of these probes that

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: had been at it to shall we say, mounting challenges

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: for what is the largest US health insurer.

62
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: All right, you're in Singapore. You go to the Marina

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Bay Sands. It's home to the rooftop Sands SkyPark with

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: the world's largest infinity pool, the Sands Expo and Convention Center,

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
