Episode description

On this episode of stock movers:

  • Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) fall after Rothschild & Co Redburn's Alexander Haissl downgraded Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. to neutral from buy, citing the industry's "trust us – Gen-AI is just like early cloud 1.0" narrative as "increasingly misplaced"
  • Home Depot (HD) sinks after the company cut its full-year earnings guidance, warning that some unsteady consumers are hitting the pause button on big-ticket home purchases.
  • Honeywell (HON) drops after BofA Global Research cut the recommendation on the industrial giant to underperform from buy, becoming the lone sell-equivalent rating in Bloomberg data. BofA expects shares to lag as elements of its spinoff strategy disappoint investors and the company doesn’t deliver earnings growth next year.

Speaker 3

Janiza Sikova got to talk about to the hyperscalers, we're talking about Microsoft and Amazon. Yeah, just one day before the videos we're earnings. We're seeing Microsoft down two point seven percent and Amazon down more than four percent. That decrees AMZN. Of course it comes. Part of it was a downgrade. We saw the rating cut from by to neutral. This is called happening at Redburn, and we saw quite

the reaction there. We saw a lot of announcements about more AI spending later in the day, and Microsoft was one of the companies that announced to invest up to five billion in Entropic. But we're seeing concerned building up. Obviously, NASDAK has been down for some time. Dave raced around one point eight threellion of value since mid October, so clearly AI spending. There is a lot of worry there.

What we're seeing here is that the company is saying the bookcase regenerative AI is no longer clear and hyperscare should be approach with question. It's a pretty harsh warning. They say, the industry gen I narrative looks increasingly misplaced. It's very rare to place a neutral rating on Microsoft and Amazon, and ninety percent is a buy. So definitely a cracks in confidence of the big winners of the rally.

Speaker 1

Did you see that Jeff Bezos has started another AI company? I did see that raised billions of dollars. It's so it's his own money. Yeah, six billion dollar AI startup.

Speaker 3

Yeah, talks about six percent today. That was the worst day since February twenty twenty three. The ticker is HD. They cut therefore your earnings guidance, and they're warning that unsteady consumers are hitting

the pulse button on big ticket home purchases. Of course, the housing market has been somewhat frozen, so that has been weighing on the company. Add To that, tariffs, a lot of the materials are more expensive, a lot of confusion supply chain issues, so that has been weighing on the stock that's already down eleven percent year Today, the retailer said it expects adjusted earning spirituality five percent from

a year ago. The company said it's profit and comparable scales sales came in lower and expecting the last quarter. So a lot of pressure for a company that has been under macro and other uncertainty already and another earning support that they alleviate concerns.

Speaker 1

What's a big ticket item at home? Deep at the leaf blower?

Speaker 3

That's that's a big tech, A big ticket that's a but you know they're working with like do it yourself kind of that's helping. What's a big how you still love going?

Speaker 1

I don't know a fridge? Yeah, Well, Low's before market on Wednesday, so we'll get an idea of whether or not this was a home depot specific specific story or if Low's takes ahead too very briefly, Honeywell that's quick.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Shares of automation technology are down more than two percent today. It comes of a double downgrade from Bank of America from buy to sell a lot of pressure their companies down ten percent here today.
