Episode description

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Delta (DAL) shares jump. Delta Air Lines Inc. now expects sales to grow in the high single digits through March, after previously guiding for a range of 5% to 7% growth. American Airlines Group Inc., meanwhile, said revenue in the quarter will rise more than 10% — a record for the company — even as more-expensive fuel pushes earnings projections to the more pessimistic end of its range.

-  Uber (UBER) and Lyft shares rise as the rideshare firms and Nvidia announced separate autonomous vehicle partnerships. Uber will launch a global fleet of Nvidia software-driven autonomous vehicles across 28 cities globally by 2028.

- Eli Lilly (LLY) shares dip after HSBC turned bearish on the stock, for the second time in a year, saying investor expectations for weight-loss drugs are over inflated. Analysts led by Rajesh Kumar cut the drugmaker to reduce — its sole sell-equivalent rating — from hold and slashed their price target on the stock to $850, the lowest on Wall Street.

It says bookings by leisure and corporate customers accelerated into March. It now expects high single digit revenue growth for the first quarter of up from previous forecast between five to seven percent. Now, the company said it's well positioned to navigate this current environment.

As we know, airlines are struggling how to navigate flights around the world zone higher fuel costs, which represent about thirty percent of all total operating expenses for US airlines, And now the bad news guys, So airlines executives are saying that passengers could see higher ticket prices or they will remain elevated. If the strait of Hormos isn't secured by the Memorial Day.

Speaker 1

Well, Memorial I know it's supposed to be something that went on for months on end. So that's what the market I think is reflecting, like kind of shorter than Yeah, and you see that in oil prices at least a couple months out the contracts for later on this year.

So airBC Capital Markets analysts are saying that lifts proposal is focused on companies adopting Nvidia's accelerating computing capabilities. They want to build new generation of mapping platform. Now we also know that Uber wants to launch a fleet of Nvidia software driven autonomous vehicles

across twenty eight cities globally by twenty twenty eight. But both stocks are really struggling. We see that Uber is down by about three percent here today, a Lift is down by about twenty seven percent. We know that the company posted really disappointing earning results and yeah, we see still a lot of decelerating growth, especially for a LIFT. All right, how about Ila, Lily Lily. We see that chairs are down excuse me, by three point four percent

today HSBC cut rating to sell from hold. Now this is the only sell rating for the company, So HSBC is basically saying that the total addressable market for abesity drugs and pills can be less than expected. It's said all so that a novel or disc will fight back, which means that less market potentially right for li Lilly. Interesting.

So now this price target from HSBC implies a sixteen percent moved to the downside from yesterday's close, considering the fact that the stock is already done by ten percent year today.
