Episode description

On this episode of Stock Movers, we look at some of the week's biggest gainers and decliners:

- Nvidia (NVDA) after an initial rally following Wednesday's upbeat earnings, shares fizzled the next day with investors shrugging off the stronger-than-expected revenue forecast and assurances that the AI economy isn’t in a bubble. The broader market also declined, weighed down by AI fears and concerns over whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates in December. But on Friday, shares spiked again on reporting from Bloomberg that US officials are having early discussions on whether to let Nvidia Corp. sell its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China. They gained as much as 2% in the Friday trade to $184.29 following earlier declines.

- Alphabet (GOOG) shares rallied on the week, extending a recent stretch of outperformance on rising optimism over its strength with artificial intelligence. Shares of the Google parent soared the most in two months on Wednesday as a wave of glowing reviews for the newly released version of its Gemini artificial intelligence model spurred investor confidence about the company’s position in the ever-changing tech landscape.

- Ross Stores (ROST)'s third-quarter results exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, driven by increased same-store sales and new marketing campaigns that successfully drew in cash-strapped consumers. The Dublin, California-based company boosted its full-year earnings per share guidance to $6.38 to $6.46, compared to the $6.27 estimated by analysts. Quarterly same-store-sales rose 7%, while revenue grew 10% compared to the year prior to about $5.6 billion, driven by new marketing campaigns that created positive momentum, Ross said in a statement Thursday. The shares have underperformed the S&P 500 Index this year, rising 6% compared to the index’s 11% gain through Thursday’s close.

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

Speaker 3

I'm Carol Masser along with Tim Stenovek, and let's get a look at some of the biggest movers for the week overall.

Speaker 1

You want to start with decliners, Yeah, I want to start with decliners. I want to start with Nvidio. The big one shares finished the week down by six percent. Today. That post earnings rally faded after those bubble fears returned at climb more than five percent. That was on Thursday, following a stronger than expected revenue forecast. But then we saw some of the air taken out of that, finishing lower on the day. That day, it was a vollable

day two. On Friday, Carol, after the Trump team floated the idea of selling in Vidia H two hundred chips to China. This Bloomberg exclusive from the Bloomberg News team, including Jenny Leonard and Mackenzie Hawkins. No final decision has been made. It's entirely possible that this idea remains an internal debate and never results in actual license approvals which are required under export controls.

Speaker 3

All right, I'm going to do one of the big gainers for the week overall, and that is Alphabet. It was up about eight percent this week shares rallying. There's always a lot when it comes to any of these big tech companies, but we did see shares pop after glowing reviews. Excuse me for its newly released Gemini Artificial Intelligence model. That model met with reviews glowing reviews about its capabilities, in contrast to open ais Chat GPT five model,

which was kind of met with some mixed reactions. The stocks rally got to say a banner year for Alphabet with its fifty eight percent jump in twenty twenty five, making it the best performing member of the Mag seven cohorts. So remember when earnings reported and we watch those MAGS seven companies when it comes to the AI spend, Alphabet actually did well after its results and that wasn't the case for all of the hyperscalers and the Big seven very quickly.

Speaker 1

One more decliner on the week, micro Strategy or formally known as micro Strategy. The company now called Strategy levered Bitcoin play down fourteen point six percent so far this week. Bigcoin on track for its worst monthly performance since a string of corporate collapses rock the wideocrypture sector. That was

back in twenty twenty two. And there was a note this week Carol from JPMorgan Chase that warn't strategy could lose its place in the likes of MSCI USA and NASDAQ one hundred and that could lead to about two point eight billion dollars in outflows if it's removed from those equity indices.

Speaker 3

And that, of course is MSTR the ticker for strategy for Nvidia, of course NVDA. I mentioned alphabet ticker Googl. And then one more kind of a little bit low tech, sorry Ross Stores, but your ticker ROST. This went up about eight and a half percent this week. Reportedly Thursday, the discount retailer raising its EPs forecast for the full year and also kind of I think talking about maybe even the holidays looking pretty good. So definitely an outperformer this week.
