WEBVTT - Nvidia Swings, Walmart Slides, Nike Falls

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio News, The.

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a look at some stocks on the move.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm Scarlet Food with Normal Linda and we're joined out

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 3>by Bloomberg News Managing editor for the Bloomberg Markets Live blog,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Christine Aquino. And the big daddy of AI is.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>In video, that's right, Scar and it's making quite the

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>comeback this morning or this afternoon, because this morning it

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>was definitely down. So Nvidia ticker NVGA, those shares are

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>now up more than two percent. And you know, we

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>know that in Vidia when when it's the tie that

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>basically lifts or sinks all boats, and is currently lifting

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>all the boats. Because along with Nvidia's rebound, of course

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>we see the SP five hundred also up. Is the

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest contributor to the S and P five hundred's rally

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>at the moment and makes a lot of sense given

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>just the size of the stock. Now, everyone of course

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to be looking forward to the earnings next

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>week that is going to be after the bell on Wednesday,

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and of course the big focus there is again whether

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be able to deliver beats for both

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>their third quarter fiscal results as well as their fourth

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>quarter guidance. A lot of focus going to be on

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>demand for the GB three hundred tip a chip, as

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>well as how much they're spending in capex, particularly with hyperscalars.

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we saw that rising twenty seven billion dollars

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in the second half and ninety billion for twenty twenty

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>six in terms of protections, and so yeah, a lot

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of focus on how much more funds they're going to

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>be deploying to really develop AI capabilities.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I was just looking at a story

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 4>earlier on the Bloomberg terminal that was talking about just

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 4>the volatility being priced in right now in the options

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 4>market heading into Nvidia earnings. As you mentioned, just the behemoth.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 4>It is the super Bowl for market. So it's definitely

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 4>interesting to see how the effects of the Nvidia earnings

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 4>will definitely play out and ricochet into other sectors.

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 3>You know that it's part of the culture and part

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>of the zeitgeist when people are holding watch parties for

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>in video earnings, which was happening a few years ago,

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 3>When you know in Vidia's results shattered all expectations of

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, what it can do, and people were saying,

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>oh my gosh, like this is the new gold Rush,

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>and you know, people organizing parties, cheering when the numbers.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>We don't have any happening next week.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if anyone let us know.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'd love to send people over and report live

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 3>from it. Well, what else are you watching?

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Also looking at Walmart today, right, So that's been in

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the news because of the CEO change. So Walmart ticker

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>w MT, those shares stuff just a little bit today,

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>so to down two tenths of one percent of pairing

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.399
<v Speaker 1>some of its earlier declines and probably just investors trying

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 1>to make sense of what the CEO handoff means. Right.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>So Doug McMillan is going to be retiring in February.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>He's going to be replaced by John Ferner. They are

0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>very much cut from the same cloth. Though both of

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>them have been long standing Walmart employees, they both started

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>as hourly employees, they're both lifers. McMillan has been credited

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>as somebody who really transformed Walmart as a digital powerhouse,

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>particularly when it comes to e commerce businesses. And so

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think the question really for investors is

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>is Ferner going to be able to build on that

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>success and maybe even extend it evolve it, right? And

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, given that they have consistent performance, they have

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>gained in market share and are maintaining that for the

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 1>most part, it's really just a question of what Ferner

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>can do to build on that.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at what analysts are saying

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 4>on Wall Street for Walmart. We have forty six bys,

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 4>so about ninety five percent of the street says by

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>the stock and only one staying hold in one saying Cell.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 4>So it seems as though there is some optimism here

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 4>on this company. Lastly, are what else you looking at?

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Looking at Nike Nora today? So Nike shares ticker NKE,

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>So those hairs extending the clients, they're down more than

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>three percent now, so they're to headline for a number

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of reasons today. It is because they are apparently ending

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>an initiative that gave employees an extra week off each

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>year to promote mental health and wellness. So is there

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>annual Wellness Week which started in twenty twenty one has

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>been held each year since for in August but now

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>no more, no more weeks off for wellness, which I

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>have to say is quite generous, right, A whole week

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>off for wellness sounds amazing.

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Wait, so wellness is back? I mean people are not

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 3>having mental health issues anymore.

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe maybe they're like, we don't get

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this anymore. But apart from that, I mean, Nike has

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>had a mixed week as well. Right, so it got

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>upgraded at Wells Fargo to overweight from equal weight, but

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>then thirteen ha F finalis also show that some companies

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>cutting their positions on the stock set for its biggest

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>rally since late July. But similar to your downtrend.
