1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 3: Well, let's take a look at some stocks on the

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 3: move today in Europe. I'm Stephen Carroll with Caroline Hepger

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: and were joined by Bloomberg proporter Chloe Mela for more.

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: Chloe, good morning.

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: Let's start with the news out of France than the

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: French Prime Minister Sebastian Lacorne, who has just resigned. We

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 3: had French banks in focus before that, and I imagine

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: even more so now.

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 4: French banks STIG, ALBNP, Creteggricol, as well as some construction

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 4: companies like Vincey and if I were already down this

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 4: morning on the back of expectations that the French government

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 4: would be on the brink of collapse, and now, of

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: course the resignation is creating that added weakness. The French

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 4: cocount has already been outperforming underperforming sorry at European piers

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: since the snap election called by EMANUELA Corn last year,

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 4: and this will probably not help any further. French stocks

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: with domestic exposures are really the ones to watch there,

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: So banks and construction, as I said, they're reacting quite

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 4: negatively to this because it points to kind of more

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: political instability, French bonds falling even more out of favor,

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 4: and a continued budget deadlock as well. And then small

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: caps and midcaps are also to watch because of also

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: that domestic exposure as well. So we'll see how this

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: pans out. But probably not a good morning this morning

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: for those French stocks.

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Indeed the cat carn't down one point nine percent

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: in the first hour of European trading, so we'll continue

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: to think about that for French stocks. Then, yes, as

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you say, banks and others down significantly, a moment to

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: think about what's happening elsewhere in terms of Aston Martin.

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: That's the other big mover downwards today.

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so fail massively for as a Martain today because

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: it cut its outlook for the second time this year.

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: So first time was over the summer in July, and

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: so it cuts out this morning. Blaming tariffs and also

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: broader economic challenges. It's said, in particular with regards to

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: the tariff that the quota system in the US, which

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: cuts duties on up to one hundred thousand UK made cars,

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 4: but then leaves any additional exports facing the higher rate,

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 4: so that quota makes it really hard for British car

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: makers to plan production and forecast as sales. So it

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: blamed that in particular, it expects now sells to fall

46
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: because of that weakness in the US but also in Asia,

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: and expects profits to come in below the lower end

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: of expectations despite cost control and raining in a capital spending.

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: This is of course another below to the car industry

50
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: in the UK. We obviously have the cyber attack that

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: is continuing to idlink production in foot Jaguar len Rover,

52
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: and also indicates really this broader slow down the luxury

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: end of that car market.

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: You know.

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: Portion Mercedes have also flegged that there is a softer

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: demand in markets like the US in China because of

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: trade tensions kind of weighing on that consumer confidence. So

58
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: that's really driving down the shares for US and Martin

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: this morning.

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: Well let's stay with auto stocks and actually one of

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: the few shares that is rising on the cat Carn't

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 3: today although less than it was a few minutes ago,

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 3: Chloe Stilantis planning some major investments.

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, very different story for Silanta so up this morning

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: because it is said to be planning about ten billion

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: dollars of investments in the US. So this is part

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: of the new CEO strategy of kind of refocusing on

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: that key US market after previous management had decided instead

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: to invest heavily in Europe and move production to companies

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: like Mexico, for example, and of course that made Silanti's

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: very vulnerable to tariff. So the investment in the US

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: that really mirrors other moves by companies that we've seen

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: trying to kind of woo Trump and gain exemptions from

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: tariff by building those manufacturing facilities in the country. So

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: we've seen, for example, in pharmaceuticals GSK and Ashra Zeneca

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: announcing those major investments, and Silantis is planning this move

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: at the same time as it's been lobbying the administration

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: to waive or potentially soften the twenty five percent tariff

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: that would affect its operations in Mexico. And so this

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: move to kind of woo Trump has been welcomed quite

81
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: warmly by the market and the shes We're up on

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,839
