Bloomberg data.
>> Let's take a look at some of the stocks
on the move today here in Europe. I'm
Caroline Hetka with Jamala Beti and
we're joined by Bloomberg reporter Chloe
Malay. Good morning.
>> Good morning. Uh Airbus, the plane maker
seeing some headwinds because of uh
engines worried about that. What's the
latest on Airbus?
>> Yeah, well the the Airbus problem is
actually more of a Pratt and Whitney
problem. The Pratt and Whit Whitney
being the supplier of engines to um the
A320 family of of Airbus planes and that
company is not meeting targets which in
turns means that Airbus isn't able to
meet their own targets and the CEO has
been quite forceful in his criticism of
Pratt and Whitney. He said that he had
what he called difficult discussions
with that supplier and its insufficient
rate of engine production. But the fact
that the blame doesn't fall on Airbus
doesn't change the fact that it won't be
able to meet its own production and
delivery targets and that is really
dragging the shares down this morning.
Um the problem is that the issue is
likely to continue into 2027 as well and
that might lead uh the the gap in
performance between Airbus and and
Boeing to widen even further. We can see
that gap already. The Airbus deliveries
in January were at the lowest level in
any month since 2020. But then at the
same time, Boeing has delivered the
highest number of planes since 20 2018.
So there's a real gap in delivery there,
real divergence. And so Airbus is down
on the back of that.
>> And you're next. Uh the uh they're
saying that they expect cost to jump
this year driven by strategic
investments and the acquisition of the
Athens Stock Exchange. What's been the
reaction this morning?
>> Well, not very positive. the the shares
are down on on the back of that because
of those costs rising and that is the
the expenses will come in as a 100
million uh euro more than they were in
2025 and this was ahead of what analysts
had expected and as you say the reason
for those costs is because of some
strategic investments. So things like
adding power futures to the commodities
segment and settling cash equities in
more countries but then also costs
related to as you said the acquisition
of the Athens stock exchange which was
completed just late last year. Uh so
we've got those rising costs. We've got
earnings coming in a little softer than
expected and that is leading to that
weakness. Urinx was also one of the
names that was involved in this AI
disruption selloff given that it's
provider of data and analytics. Um but
it's not as exposed to the data side.
You know for example Lseg derives about
half of revenue from data. Urinex is
just about 15% and the CEO say he was
not too concerned affected or impacted
in any way by this AI threat. Okay. So
that's on Euro next. Meanwhile Nestle
shares rising with the Swiss food giants
beat on sales growth. What's some more
in those results?
>> Yeah, Nestle is quite optimistic about
2026. Said that sales growth will
accelerate this year. It seems that 2026
will also be the start of a more
efficient organization. So, it's in
advanced talks to sell its ice cream
business. That's part of a broader
strategy of streamlining the portfolio a
bit more. Um, the business is also
getting reorganized around four core
divisions and the company is really
doubling down on coffee and pet care as
as the kind of key segments going
forward. Um, it's been a really busy
start of the year for the new CEO. He's
announced major job cuts. He's
reorganizing the business. He's also
dealing with this massive infant formula
recall that is really hurting sales. Um,
but more importantly, it's important to
manage that well so that uh to avoid too
much of a reputation hit as well. So,
it's been a really busy time and
investors are scrutinizing all aspects
of this ongoing turnaround for Nestle.
But if we look at the shares which have
been doing quite well this morning, it
looks like the market is quite happy
with the way things are going so far.
