Episode description

On this episode of Stock Movers:

-Super Micro (SMCI) shares fall. The company said it plans $7 billion in equity and equity-linked financing transactions to fund component purchases to satisfy around $39 billion in AI server orders it has received from customers.

-Chewy (CHWY) shares drop. The company cut its full-year revenue outlook as Americans rein in spending on their pets — one of the few household expenses that have remained fairly shielded as inflation worries bite. 

-Cracker Barrel (CBRL) shares jump as much as 35% on Wednesday, the most intraday on record, after the restaurant chain boosted its revenue guidance for the full year, beating the average analyst estimate. The results prompted Wells Fargo to raise its recommendation on the stock to overweight.

Stock Movers Report your roundup of companies making moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data. So tak a look at some of the stocks on the most today.

Speaker 1

We can do that with Bloomberg's avalon pronel avline.

Speaker 3

What are you looking at?

Speaker 1

We have to start off with super micro Computers. That is tiker SMCI currently thinking about twelve percent. That's after the computer hardware maker said it's planning about seven billion dollars in equity and equity linked financing transactions to fund

component purchases to meet demand for its AI servers. The street is fairly split, to say the least, about what to think about this, Bernstein analysts saying that this is by far the highest equity raise in company history and also implies a whopping twenty seven percent dilution, whereas Webush analysts view the order momentum as positive but believe that obviously the exact financial implications will be known later, especially

they'll be dependent on margins of the business. Still, the move making that company one of the worst performers on the S and P five hundred this morning.

Speaker 3

Next up, you looking at Chewy and I like this line from the company that they're seeing a quote modest level of incremental pressure on premiuization and product detached rates. What God's name does.

Speaker 1

Emi, Yes, let's tick Chwi.

Speaker 3

Dogs aren't eating their little Chewy toys anymore.

Speaker 1

Well, the pet owners aren't really buying those special oh okay toys anymore. So it's falling about one point three percent now. And as you mentioned, they did offer more cautious commentary. To be fair, though this is not the

first that we've heard. Zoetis pet Co also offered really cautious commentary earlier in the earning season, saying that the health of pet owners isn't that great right now, noting that Americans are really raining in their spending on their pets and even not really getting dogs as often as they were previously, City writing that wild Chewy continues to outperform, it remains behold into a pet category that's performance continues to remain weaker this year.

Speaker 3

I'm still on the fence whether or not to get a dog. Same like kids want one. My kids they're in their twenties. Yes, it's like but it's like having another kid. It really is I can't go through that right.

Speaker 2

Yeah, no, uh crack of out.

Speaker 1

Yes, that's ticker CBRL currently jumping about thirty percent earlier today, touching a most inter day on record, and that's have to have a restaurant chain boosted its full year outlook on the back of a better than expected third quarter results and continues to see a lot of recovery in customer traffic Benchmark, writing that the results also showed improvements in the average check noting that the company is discounting

less and that customers are still buying those mules. However, what I found really interesting is actually the short interest on the company, which is incredibly high, currently about twenty seven percent afloat according to S three Partners Data.
