>> the Stock Movers Report, your roundup of

0:11

companies making moves in the stock

0:13

market, harnessing the power of

0:15

Bloomberg data.

0:16

>> Let's take a look at some of the stocks

0:17

on the move today here in Europe. I'm

0:19

Caroline Hetka with Jamala Beti and

0:21

we're joined by Bloomberg reporter Chloe

0:22

Malay. Good morning.

0:24

>> Good morning. Uh Airbus, the plane maker

0:26

seeing some headwinds because of uh

0:29

engines worried about that. What's the

0:32

latest on Airbus?

0:33

>> Yeah, well the the Airbus problem is

0:34

actually more of a Pratt and Whitney

0:36

problem. The Pratt and Whit Whitney

0:38

being the supplier of engines to um the

0:40

A320 family of of Airbus planes and that

0:44

company is not meeting targets which in

0:46

turns means that Airbus isn't able to

0:48

meet their own targets and the CEO has

0:51

been quite forceful in his criticism of

0:52

Pratt and Whitney. He said that he had

0:54

what he called difficult discussions

0:56

with that supplier and its insufficient

0:58

rate of engine production. But the fact

1:01

that the blame doesn't fall on Airbus

1:03

doesn't change the fact that it won't be

1:05

able to meet its own production and

1:06

delivery targets and that is really

1:08

dragging the shares down this morning.

1:10

Um the problem is that the issue is

1:12

likely to continue into 2027 as well and

1:15

that might lead uh the the gap in

1:17

performance between Airbus and and

1:19

Boeing to widen even further. We can see

1:22

that gap already. The Airbus deliveries

1:24

in January were at the lowest level in

1:26

any month since 2020. But then at the

1:29

same time, Boeing has delivered the

1:30

highest number of planes since 20 2018.

1:33

So there's a real gap in delivery there,

1:36

real divergence. And so Airbus is down

1:38

on the back of that.

1:40

>> And you're next. Uh the uh they're

1:43

saying that they expect cost to jump

1:44

this year driven by strategic

1:46

investments and the acquisition of the

1:47

Athens Stock Exchange. What's been the

1:49

reaction this morning?

1:51

>> Well, not very positive. the the shares

1:53

are down on on the back of that because

1:55

of those costs rising and that is the

1:58

the expenses will come in as a 100

2:01

million uh euro more than they were in

2:03

2025 and this was ahead of what analysts

2:06

had expected and as you say the reason

2:08

for those costs is because of some

2:09

strategic investments. So things like

2:11

adding power futures to the commodities

2:14

segment and settling cash equities in

2:16

more countries but then also costs

2:18

related to as you said the acquisition

2:19

of the Athens stock exchange which was

2:22

completed just late last year. Uh so

2:24

we've got those rising costs. We've got

2:25

earnings coming in a little softer than

2:28

expected and that is leading to that

2:30

weakness. Urinx was also one of the

2:32

names that was involved in this AI

2:34

disruption selloff given that it's

2:36

provider of data and analytics. Um but

2:39

it's not as exposed to the data side.

2:41

You know for example Lseg derives about

2:43

half of revenue from data. Urinex is

2:45

just about 15% and the CEO say he was

2:48

not too concerned affected or impacted

2:50

in any way by this AI threat. Okay. So

2:53

that's on Euro next. Meanwhile Nestle

2:55

shares rising with the Swiss food giants

2:57

beat on sales growth. What's some more

3:00

in those results?

3:01

>> Yeah, Nestle is quite optimistic about

3:03

2026. Said that sales growth will

3:05

accelerate this year. It seems that 2026

3:08

will also be the start of a more

3:09

efficient organization. So, it's in

3:11

advanced talks to sell its ice cream

3:14

business. That's part of a broader

3:15

strategy of streamlining the portfolio a

3:18

bit more. Um, the business is also

3:19

getting reorganized around four core

3:22

divisions and the company is really

3:23

doubling down on coffee and pet care as

3:26

as the kind of key segments going

3:28

forward. Um, it's been a really busy

3:30

start of the year for the new CEO. He's

3:32

announced major job cuts. He's

3:33

reorganizing the business. He's also

3:35

dealing with this massive infant formula

3:37

recall that is really hurting sales. Um,

3:39

but more importantly, it's important to

3:41

manage that well so that uh to avoid too

3:44

much of a reputation hit as well. So,

3:46

it's been a really busy time and

3:48

investors are scrutinizing all aspects

3:50

of this ongoing turnaround for Nestle.

3:52

But if we look at the shares which have

3:54

been doing quite well this morning, it

3:55

looks like the market is quite happy

3:57

with the way things are going so far.
