Episode description

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Nvidia (NVDA) and Intel (INTC) are both higher this morning on news Nvidia agreed to invest $5 billion in Intel and the two will co-develop chips for PCs and data centers. Intel will use Nvidia’s graphics technology in upcoming PC chips and provide its processors for data center products built around Nvidia hardware.
- Darden Restaurants (DRI) is lower this morning ahead of the bell after 1Q comparable sales for the company’s core restaurant brands showed greater-than-expected deceleration from the previous quarter. Profits also trailed Street expectations for the quarter, hurt in part by food inflation, while slight boost to annual top-line forecasts fail to flow to the bottom line, which was maintained.
- Cracker Barrel (CRBL) is lower on news it projects revenue in fiscal 2026 to be in a range of $3.35 billion to $3.45 billion, which missed expectations.

Let me guess du du You got it exactly. Intel n Video, That's what we're talking about. It's sticker I in TC, Sticker NVDA and the Big Tech news. Yeah, Vida investing five billion dollars in Intel plans to cod design data center PC chips. So in Video shares have been up as much as three percent before the open and Intel has been up as much as thirty percent before the open. So if you look under the hood, Intel is basically going to use in videos graphics technology

and their upcoming PC chips. Then they're going to provide processorss processors easy to say, for data centers, products that are built in videos hardware. Okay, so Ed Ludlow, he talked about this. It's going to put them in better competition with companies like Advanced micro Devices. And this was also talked about how it's more kind of good news

for Intel because they really needed it. I mean, you had the US government took a roughly ten percent stake in Intel, you had japan Soft Bank, they surprised with their own two billion dollar investment. And then Intel's also raising cash by selling assets to investors too. So a lot to take in this morning. That really came out strong this morning. Another stock on the move is restaurant operator Darden Restaurants ticker DRII. Their shares have been down

as much as six percent. Their company, their base in Orlando. There were just at earnings for share missed expectations, but it also reported a miss on same store sales at Olive Garden.

It's not going away, I know, Paul. Even President Trump went in, right, they did stop the logo change. They stopped the plans to remodel the restaurants, but the company CEO said had already spent twenty million dollars on the remodels last year. Okay, now they plan

to remodel those. Yeah, so they're going to put it back to how it used to look after spending that money. And since they'd announced that local change, foot traffic of the CEO said it fells eight percent.
