<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's take a look at some stocks on the

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 3>move today in Europe. I'm Stephen Carroll with Caroline Hepger

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 3>and were joined by Bloomberg proporter Chloe Mela for more.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Chloe, good morning.

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Let's start with the news out of France than the

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>French Prime Minister Sebastian Lacorne, who has just resigned. We

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 3>had French banks in focus before that, and I imagine

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 3>even more so now.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 4>French banks STIG, ALBNP, Creteggricol, as well as some construction

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 4>companies like Vincey and if I were already down this

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 4>morning on the back of expectations that the French government

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 4>would be on the brink of collapse, and now, of

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 4>course the resignation is creating that added weakness. The French

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 4>cocount has already been outperforming underperforming sorry at European piers

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 4>since the snap election called by EMANUELA Corn last year,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 4>and this will probably not help any further. French stocks

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 4>with domestic exposures are really the ones to watch there,

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 4>So banks and construction, as I said, they're reacting quite

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 4>negatively to this because it points to kind of more

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 4>political instability, French bonds falling even more out of favor,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 4>and a continued budget deadlock as well. And then small

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 4>caps and midcaps are also to watch because of also

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 4>that domestic exposure as well. So we'll see how this

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>pans out. But probably not a good morning this morning

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 4>for those French stocks.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Indeed the cat carn't down one point nine percent

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in the first hour of European trading, so we'll continue

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to think about that for French stocks. Then, yes, as

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you say, banks and others down significantly, a moment to

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>think about what's happening elsewhere in terms of Aston Martin.

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the other big mover downwards today.

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so fail massively for as a Martain today because

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>it cut its outlook for the second time this year.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 4>So first time was over the summer in July, and

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 4>so it cuts out this morning. Blaming tariffs and also

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 4>broader economic challenges. It's said, in particular with regards to

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 4>the tariff that the quota system in the US, which

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 4>cuts duties on up to one hundred thousand UK made cars,

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 4>but then leaves any additional exports facing the higher rate,

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 4>so that quota makes it really hard for British car

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 4>makers to plan production and forecast as sales. So it

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 4>blamed that in particular, it expects now sells to fall

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 4>because of that weakness in the US but also in Asia,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 4>and expects profits to come in below the lower end

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 4>of expectations despite cost control and raining in a capital spending.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 4>This is of course another below to the car industry

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 4>in the UK. We obviously have the cyber attack that

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 4>is continuing to idlink production in foot Jaguar len Rover,

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 4>and also indicates really this broader slow down the luxury

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 4>end of that car market.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Portion Mercedes have also flegged that there is a softer

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>demand in markets like the US in China because of

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 4>trade tensions kind of weighing on that consumer confidence. So

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 4>that's really driving down the shares for US and Martin

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 4>this morning.

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Well let's stay with auto stocks and actually one of

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 3>the few shares that is rising on the cat Carn't

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 3>today although less than it was a few minutes ago,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Chloe Stilantis planning some major investments.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, very different story for Silanta so up this morning

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 4>because it is said to be planning about ten billion

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 4>dollars of investments in the US. So this is part

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 4>of the new CEO strategy of kind of refocusing on

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 4>that key US market after previous management had decided instead

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 4>to invest heavily in Europe and move production to companies

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 4>like Mexico, for example, and of course that made Silanti's

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 4>very vulnerable to tariff. So the investment in the US

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 4>that really mirrors other moves by companies that we've seen

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 4>trying to kind of woo Trump and gain exemptions from

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 4>tariff by building those manufacturing facilities in the country. So

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 4>we've seen, for example, in pharmaceuticals GSK and Ashra Zeneca

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 4>announcing those major investments, and Silantis is planning this move

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 4>at the same time as it's been lobbying the administration

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 4>to waive or potentially soften the twenty five percent tariff

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 4>that would affect its operations in Mexico. And so this

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 4>move to kind of woo Trump has been welcomed quite

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 4>warmly by the market and the shes We're up on

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:28.839
