>> The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of

companies making moves in the stock

market, harnessing the power of

Bloomberg data. Let's take a look at

some stocks on the move today. I'm

Nathan Hager, joined by Bloomberg's Dan

Curtis on another morning where we're

seeing earnings cross the Bloomberg

terminal, including from the home of the

Whopper. Good morning, Dan.

>> Good morning. That's right. Uh the

company itself is called Restaurant

Brands, but uh ticker is QSR. The shares

are up about 4/10en in pre-market, but

that is the company behind Burger King,

as you alluded to, and my personal

favorite, Tim Hortons. Uh fourth quarter

sales and earnings both beat estimates.

Comparable sales rose 3% higher than

estimates, and that was largely driven

by international business. Domestically,

Tim Horton's Burger King, Popeye's

growth, all below estimates, but I got

to give a shout out to your dad.

Firehouse Subs did beat the expectation.

So, uh, yeah, subs are going well. And I

think that's one of your dad's

favorites, so shout out to him.

>> Yeah, that's what I keep hearing.

>> Yep. Uh, and that also follows

McDonald's, which reported after the

bell. Those shares are up about 2/10 in

the pre-market. Comparable sales for

McDonald's were up nearly 7%, the

fastest pace of growth in 2 years. Top

bottom lines also beat estimates. That's

being driven by a costconcious consumer.

They're flocking to the value meals, the

McVal menu, and they're also really

going all in on McDonald's loyalty

program,

>> but not flocking as much to Popeyes.

Interesting. Uh, big weight this morning

to Cisco Systems after their earnings

after the close, Dan.

>> That's right. Cisco System shares are

down 7% under ticker CSCO. Though,

that's after weaker than expected

forecast for the current quarter uh is

weighing on investor appetite. The

largest maker of networking equipment.

So uh has uh has sees a gross margin

around 66%. That's lighter than

estimates and that's overshadowing uh

the beat on the fiscal second quarter uh

numbers and also the strong sales

guidance. The CEO says the company has

raised prices as it faces a memory

crunch and it's trying to negotiate

favorable terms with suppliers. Not

quite enough to assuage the market. Uh

but the stock still was up 11% year to

date into those earnings. So we're still

up on the year

>> and we're still seeing some individual

stocks getting hit by the AI disruption

trade. Among the latest there is

apploving.

>> That's right. It's the mobile tech

company. It has been facing the

disruption as you said. So it beat

fourth quarter earnings and sales

estimates. First quarter revenue and

adjusted IBIDA guidance was above but

those shares are still down 5% and as

you said this is about the AI concerns.

There's been an expression, sell first,

ask questions later. That seems to be

what's going on here. Evercore ISI did

note that the beat was more subdued than

normal and expectations were likely more

muted going into it because of this AI

trade. So, it might just be they did

clear the bar, but that bar had been

lowered. So, the market's not really

enjoying that. Down 5% in the pre.

>> Now, very interesting here. Uh, coal

related stocks are getting a lift this

morning. What's going on?

>> Yeah, so Peabuddy Energy, ticker BTU, is

up 5%. that's leading the coal uh the

coal charge today. Uh Trump the Trump

administration ordered the Pentagon to

purchase electricity directly from coal

plants. This is something that uh Trump

has been behind uh kind of the shift

towards energy getting more electricity

out of the US. He also announced that

the energy department would give $175

million in funding to upgrade coal

plants. The Peabuddy CEO was at the

event. He said the company was working

with the administration to build new

coal fueled power plants. We've talked a

lot about uh power going into this AI

trade. So, it looks like uh coal might

be part of the new AI trade.
