Episode description

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- CoreWeave (CRWV) reported narrower profit margins in the third quarter as the cloud computing company races to expand its infrastructure and serve more customers.The operating income margin was 4% in the period, the company said in a statement Monday. That missed an average analyst estimate of 6.5% and was lower than the year-earlier period. The tighter margins were a weak spot in an otherwise upbeat report. Revenue rose to $1.36 billion in the quarter, topping the $1.29 billion estimate. CoreWeave reported a loss of 22 cents a share, compared with the 57 cents that Wall Street projected. The shares fell about 3% in late trading after the report was published, reversing an earlier rise. The stock had more than doubled this year through the close.

- Paramount Skydance (PSKY) reporting financial results for the first time since a new investor group took over the media company in August, raised its target for job cuts and cost-saving measures. The company, which has been trying to buy rival Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., said in a letter to shareholders it plans an additional 1,600 job cuts as part of a goal to achieve at least $3 billion in cost savings. The shares rose as much as 10% in extended trading before giving up about half that gain.

The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

Speaker 1

I'm Carol Masser along with Tim Stanback. Let's get to some stocks on the move, a bunch of earnings after the closing bell with us is Bloomberg News Crosss Reporter de needsa Sikova and let's start with Corey. The stock bouncing around, but it's down more than one percent here in the aftermarket.

Speaker 3

Yeah, ticker is CRWV. Initially very strong report, that's why we saw reaction there. But what investors seems to be worried about is narrow profit margins. In the third quarter, we're talking about operating income margin of four percent and Alice, we're expecting six point five percent. This is a very interesting company that has been on a crazy rally since it ipield. It actually since August, since the last earnings report we get, it's been in a cell off mode.

So again this report, which the revenue was very strong. It rose to one point thirty six billion, topping estimates. The reported loss was lower than one aalysts were expecting overall strong report, but this wasn't enough to bring the sentiment after Obviously last week AI, the AI team suffered in Core with was one of the big names that was hit there, so a lot of pressure there. That said, there are a lot of partnership with Meta, it's obviously

working with Nvidia. Microsoft accounts were seventy one percent of Core with its revenue, so a lot of optimism from analysts, but pretty high valuation still, so the investors are punishing the margin.

Speaker 1

All right, So let's talk about Paramount Skuidance sticker PSKY. It is rallying about four and a half percent higher in the aftermarket, but it was up I think as much as ten nine or ten percent here.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it rallied as much as ten percent. It's coming off reporting financial resorts for the first time since the new investor took over. It's coming off cost cutting measures. So this is really obviously bad news for workers. Sixteen hundred jobs are going to be cut as part of this. The number is three billion in cost saving this year. They're increasing that number for third quarter. Paramount reported revenue of about six point seven billion, below analysts forecasts. But

clearly investors are reacting to those cost cutting measures. Of course, David Ellison combines Guidience Media with Paramount. In August eight billion merger really some of the big ones we've seen lately. The company is eliminating jobs, racing to sign deals, and some of the cost cutting measures are cross Argentina, Chili and other regions.
