00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
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 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: in the stock market. Harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some stocks on the move today.

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager, joined by Bloomberg's Valerie Titel, keeping an

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: eye on Warner Brothers, Discovery and Netflix this morning, because

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: along with Wall Street, here's President Trump is keeping an

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: eye on those stocks as well.

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, Valerie, Hey, Good morning Nathan.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Yes, President Trump over the weekend saying that the amount

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of market share the combined Netflix Warner Brothers Discovery entity

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: could have could be a problem when it comes to

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: regulatory approval. So we're seeing the shares of Netflix and

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers reverse just a little bit of the move

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: that they had on Friday. Netflix is higher by one

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: point three percent, Warner Brothers is down just less than one.

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Now this can all really come down to, Nathan, how

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: the regulators define the streaming market. A combined entity of

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers, Discovery, which includes HBO, Max and Netflix, would

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: have around four hundred and fifty streaming users, which is

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: nearly half of the traditional streaming market. But if you

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: include the likes of YouTube other short form video content

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: since is TikTok, you get a really different picture of

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: the market in which Netflix could argue that it doesn't

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: give it a dominant stance. But all that being said

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: that this is going to face a lengthy Justice Department review.

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Even the European Union might get involved. So again, this

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: deal is a bit on shaky footing this morning. If

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: you look at how the odds on polymarket have changed,

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: they were around sixty percent on Friday and they've now

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: dropped all the way down to twenty three percent of

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: a chance of this Netflix Warner Brothers deal closing by

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty six.

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, big move there, And I imagine we're going to

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: see some pretty big moves in the Magnificent seven stocks

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: now that we've got this pretty interesting call from Ed

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: yard Anny of yard Denny Research.

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Well, the big underperformer this morning is Tesla on one

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: point six percent, and as you mentioned, it does come

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: after a Wall Street veteran Yar Denny saying that he's

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: going underweight Max seven stocks versus the rest of the

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: S and P five hundred. So we're seeing some of

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: the mag seven stocks trade a bit softly to start

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: this Monday. When it comes to Tesla, they were also

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: downgraded by Morgan Stanley to equal weight from overweight. The

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: analysts there saying that a lot of the positive non

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: auto catalysts have already been priced into the stock and

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: they don't see a lot of upside here. So Tesla

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: leading the losses for the Max seven this morning, down

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: one and a half percent.

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: One of the biggest upside movers this morning is Confluent

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: on some potential merger Monday news.

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Merger Monday news as reported by The Wall Street Journal

55
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: that IBM is in talks to acquire Confluent in a

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: deal that could be valued around eleven billion dollars. So

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: we're seeing shares of Confluent up twenty eight percent. Shares

58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: of IBM are just flat to the downside this morning,

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: but it could be essentially the biggest acquisition that IBM

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: has done in modern history if this does get announced.

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: It's all about its repositioning its business around AI. Confluence

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: platform is used to manage data streams, which has become

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: an increasingly important issue for companies looking to integrate their

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: data into AI models. Whilstree Journal has been reporting that

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: this deal could be announced as students today.

66
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: And speaking of repositioning Valerie, We've got a new stock

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: to watch in the SMP five hundred this morning.

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, SMP quarterly rebalancing of the index will include Carvana

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: come the December twenty second rebound. So we're seeing shares

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: of Carvana up nine percent on the back of this news.

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: So it seems a bit unexpected at least by the

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: market and does follow a strong performance by the used

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: auto dealing company. So Carvana on the upside of nine percent,

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: it's already gained around one hundred percent this year, so

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: adding to a strong performance in twenty twenty five.
