>> 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

>> I'm Carol Master along with Tim Stenick.

0:18

Let's get to it with Avalon Pernell.

0:20

She's Bloomberg News equities reporter.

0:21

[music] She's in the house. Um, we had

0:23

some postmarket uh trading around

0:25

Universal Health. What did we get?

0:26

>> We did. They did report their second

0:28

quarter earnings and to say the least

0:30

did not look too great. It is falling

0:33

now about 5.3%. That's ticker UHS and

0:36

that's after they reported their second

0:38

quarter profit that fell short and also

0:40

adjusted IBIDA that uh missed

0:43

expectations. They also trimmed their

0:45

overall guidance for the full year and

0:47

the midpoint of that guidance also

0:49

missed expectations. So, generally

0:51

speaking, very different from what we

0:52

saw last week from Tenant Healthcare,

0:54

which jumped 20% and had their best week

0:57

in over a year after reporting much

0:59

better than expected earnings as a

1:01

fellow peer in the hospital space. So,

1:03

definitely something we'll be keeping an

1:04

eye on as those notes roll in. H, that's

1:07

interesting, right? I mean, they're all

1:09

not the same, so we get that. Um, so

1:11

yeah, and this one's down a lot this

1:13

year. I mean, are most of these names

1:14

down for the year?

1:16

>> Yes. I mean, investors have a lot of

1:17

question marks about how exactly

1:19

patients will be paying for services.

1:20

Are they going to continue to go to the

1:22

ER, which I mean, just because you don't

1:23

have health insurance doesn't mean

1:24

you're not going to get sick. Correct.

1:26

>> So, it's definitely taking a hit for a

1:28

lot of hospitals across the board.

1:29

>> And that just drives up costs um all

1:32

along. Uh let's go to the Energy Patch.

1:34

>> Well, Energy names had a terrible day

1:35

today, but not everybody.

1:37

>> Exactly.

1:38

>> Lower, right?

1:39

>> Exactly. [clears throat] Baker Hughes,

1:40

that's ticker BKR, gaining 5.8% 8% to

1:44

finish its biggest 1-day jump since

1:46

April 24 and that is partially because

1:48

of their earnings. They reported profit

1:50

for the second quarter that really beat

1:51

expectations and they also boosted their

1:53

guidance for the year and even their

1:55

orders through 2028 amid rising demand

1:58

despite the Iran war which has caused a

2:00

lot of challenges to their revenue.

2:03

>> Yeah. Oil field services and equipment

2:05

what

2:05

>> in the S&P 500 energy was the worst

2:08

performing industry group at the bottom

2:11

down 2% today. Hm. Yeah,

2:15

it's it's that one I find perplexing.

2:18

>> Every energy name was lower except for

2:20

including baby.

2:21

>> We're a little slow in our thinking

2:22

today. Have [laughter] you noticed?

2:23

>> Well, it's like I already moved on.

2:24

>> Yeah. Come on.

2:25

>> I'm talking to me.

2:26

>> Keep up. Keep up. Keep up. Keep up. All

2:27

right, let's go to JBS. Love this. Yes.

2:30

Ticker JBS. They jumped 10% to notch

2:33

their biggest one day gain on record.

2:35

And that's after the US Department of

2:37

Agriculture officially announced that

2:39

Mexican cattle imports can restart in

2:42

about 30 days. That's after over a year

2:44

of border restrictions related to the

2:47

fillet. [laughter]

2:49

>> Okay, we're going to let Avalon finish,

2:51

but there's a lot of

2:53

>> Sorry,

2:53

>> Carol's got thoughts on this. Part of

2:55

that jump as well is because City did

2:56

have a great note out saying that they

2:58

actually see JBS as potentially the best

3:00

the primary beneficiary of this policy

3:02

change given its industryleading

3:04

exposure to US beef as well. What's your

3:07

favorite cut of meat?

3:08

>> Uh I don't know.

3:10

>> What's your favorite cut? What kind of

3:11

meat do you like? Do you eat meat? Oh, I

3:14

>> Well, I [laughter] you know I can't

3:15

always

3:15

>> I do like a steak.

3:16

>> There's a lot of vegetarians in my New

3:18

York strip pesarians. What? That's a

3:20

good choice.

3:20

>> Yeah.

3:21

>> Give me a good fillet. A little Bernese.

3:23

Um, it's just not big enough, Carol, for

3:25

me.

3:26

>> Oh,

3:26

>> as you know.

3:27

>> Yeah, you're like a tomahawk. It's just

3:28

about

3:29

>> We have done [laughter] We've done a

3:31

couple steak dinners recently and you

3:32

know it doesn't it's not a pretty sight.

3:34

>> We went somewhere and it was like this

3:36

is a work thing and then we was like,

3:37

how much is it? No, we can't do that.

3:39

[laughter]

3:40

>> Those tomahawks can cost3 or $400,

3:43

right?

3:43

>> Yeah. No, no, we're not going to order.

3:44

>> We did not do that.

3:45

>> But I want to get back to the story.

3:47

>> Oh, sorry.

3:48

>> Uh, and yeah, the politics around this

3:50

because, you know, it's very political.

3:52

It's on the one hand there is a rise in

3:55

beef prices and that's inflationary and

3:58

yeah that affects voters. On the other

3:59

hand there's a very important

4:01

constituency which is American farmers

4:02

and they don't want to have uh imports

4:05

of Mexican

4:06

>> coming in

4:07

>> beef and Brazilian Argentinian and the

4:10

like. So yeah

4:13

>> it's a delicate [music] dance and as you

4:15

say uh political and so on and so forth.
