- 4:28Speaker 1: motion a move they do. I've never seen anyone move
- 4:35Speaker 1: that back hard people. Let's move to great a purpose.

- 4:49Speaker 1: and that name cracked me up. Bloomberg taking stock movers
- 4:59Speaker 1: and Shakers with Bim Box and Kathleen As on Bloomberg
- 5:03Speaker 1: Radio Movers and Shakers for this Wednesday, August the third,
- 5:06Speaker 1: twenties sixteen, broadcasting live from Atlantic Wharf in Boston, site
- 5:11Speaker 1: of Smith and Woolenski. Taking a look at the SMP
- 5:13Speaker 1: five hundred, three hundred and twenty two issues are higher,
- 5:17Speaker 1: one hundred eighty two declined, and one remain unchanged. That's
- 5:21Speaker 1: go to Bloomberg's Stocks Commis Dave Wilson to begin our
- 5:25Speaker 1: movers and shakers. But you know a lot of those
- 5:28Speaker 1: SMP five hundred stocks are on the New York Stock Exchange,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and uh one of them is the owner of the exchange,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and that would be Intercontinental Exchange or ICE. That they
- 5:39Speaker 1: reported second quarter results the top to analysts average Asthimus
- 5:43Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Survey I said, they're buying back a billion
- 5:46Speaker 1: dollars of stock. The key thing, though, is that they
- 5:49Speaker 1: plan a five for one stock split. Ice has one
- 5:53Speaker 1: of the most expensive stocks on its own markets, and
- 5:57Speaker 1: so the split will bring down the Ice of a
- 6:00Speaker 1: single share uh Ice with a gain of five point
- 6:04Speaker 1: three percent in today's training closing a two hundred and
- 6:07Speaker 1: seventy eight dollars and two cents h Taking a look
- 6:11Speaker 1: now at handbag maker Kate Spade, which David, of course
- 6:15Speaker 1: you were talking about, is taking stock opened today. I
- 6:19Speaker 1: think at that point it was down about so not
- 6:23Speaker 1: quite as bad, but still an eighteen percent declined today
- 6:26Speaker 1: after Kate Spade said that prop will be sixty three
- 6:30Speaker 1: to seventy three to seventy cents a share. And you're
- 6:33Speaker 1: ending January after priving previously forecasting seventy cents to eighty cents.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Analysts had a projected seven gate cent average for their
- 6:42Speaker 1: profit over that time period. And you know, k It's
- 6:45Speaker 1: been trying to reduce promotions at department stores and then
- 6:48Speaker 1: sell more items at full price, not discounted, not on sale,
- 6:50Speaker 1: because they want to maintain the brands Caher. You know,
- 6:53Speaker 1: it's sending in their way a dearth of foreign tours
- 6:56Speaker 1: to the United States. They've put off visits because of
- 6:59Speaker 1: the strong dollars slowing foot traffic and forcing the company
- 7:02Speaker 1: to mark down e merchandise and a course PM. There's
- 7:05Speaker 1: also competition from you know, increasingly strong rivals like Coach
- 7:09Speaker 1: and Michael Course. I'm gonna tell you about twenty one
- 7:11Speaker 1: century Fox. The company just releasing its fourth quarter results
- 7:15Speaker 1: EPs of fourty five cents to share compared to estimates
- 7:20Speaker 1: of a thirty seven cents a share. The stock is
- 7:22Speaker 1: higher by about three and a half percent, and after
- 7:24Speaker 1: hours of trading, the company also announcing an incremental three
- 7:28Speaker 1: billion dollar share buy backup program. Once again, the stock
- 7:33Speaker 1: of century Fox higher in after hours trading, buy about
- 7:36Speaker 1: three and a half percent. You know, there's a certain
- 7:38Speaker 1: amount of irony. Shares of Twitter are moved by tweets.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That's what happened today. Though there was some speculation out
- 7:48Speaker 1: there that two of Twitter's largest shareholders, former Microsoft chief
- 7:52Speaker 1: executive Steve Bomber and Saudi Prince Ahaid Been Tollal, would
- 7:57Speaker 1: buy the social network shares they don't already own, but
- 8:00Speaker 1: them they have an eight point eight percent steak in Twitter.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Analysts were rather skeptical. We talked to Acting and Capital
- 8:07Speaker 1: Victor Anthony Webb Bushes, Michael Packedor and neither of them
- 8:12Speaker 1: put much credence into speculation. Uh not. In the last
- 8:16Speaker 1: you had Twitter shares with a gain of seven and
- 8:19Speaker 1: a quarter percent in today's trading. Well, hey, David, as
- 8:23Speaker 1: you know A i G American International Group also gaining
- 8:26Speaker 1: about that amount amount seven point three percent today after
- 8:29Speaker 1: it said we'll buy back three billion dollars of stock
- 8:32Speaker 1: after second quarter profit climbed six point three percent, helped
- 8:36Speaker 1: by assets sales. This is something that the CEO, Peter Hancock,
- 8:39Speaker 1: has been doing, along with slashing jobs to boost margins
- 8:42Speaker 1: after posting losses for three straight periods through the first quarter.
- 8:47Speaker 1: A i G also announcing today that it's reduced bets
- 8:50Speaker 1: on event driven and long short strategies, scaling back its
- 8:54Speaker 1: hedge fund investments, KIM and fit pretty fit stock. Today
- 8:58Speaker 1: to share is a fit Fit up more than thirteen percent.
- 9:02Speaker 1: This is the biggest gain in more than three months.
- 9:04Speaker 1: They reported second quarter results that exceeded analysts estimates. The
- 9:07Speaker 1: company reported that revenue group forty six percent in the
- 9:12Speaker 1: second quarter compared to a year earlier revenue, coming in
- 9:16Speaker 1: at five hundred and eighty six million dollars. Fitbits earnings
- 9:20Speaker 1: also excludes some costs, but the shares as I mentioned,

- 9:42Speaker 1: a half point at twelve point eight six at the close,
- 9:46Speaker 1: putting this in some perspective. According to a report from
- 9:50Speaker 1: the head drivative strategist at Macro Risk Advisors this week,
- 9:54Speaker 1: he points out at the gap between c b o
- 9:56Speaker 1: E the Volatility Index contracts and the underlying index, the

- 10:13Speaker 1: My name is Dave. Just what do you think you're
- 10:18Speaker 1: doing today? We're going for the floor to Dave Food.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Mr Dave Wilson tell us about Nations Star Mortgage a
- 10:30Speaker 1: certainly well but first quarterly earnings that some companies are
- 10:33Speaker 1: so predictable that analysts estimates are accurate down of the penny.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Others defy any attempt at predictions, and Nation Star Mortgage
- 10:42Speaker 1: Holdings is a good example. UH data compabby Bloomberg shows
- 10:46Speaker 1: the home loan servicing companies earning for share differed from
- 10:49Speaker 1: analyst consensus estimate and Bloomberg survey by an average of
- 10:53Speaker 1: thirty four percent since twelve. That's when nations Star win
- 10:56Speaker 1: public quarterly sales varied from projections by an average of
- 11:00Speaker 1: about twenty percent. Now Nation Star, whose ticker is n
- 11:04Speaker 1: s M, reported second quarter results today. There was even
- 11:08Speaker 1: more of a disparity than usual. On the one hand,
- 11:11Speaker 1: adjusted the EPs PTE estimates by forty two percent. On
- 11:15Speaker 1: the other, revenue trailed by thirty five percent. Now, the
- 11:19Speaker 1: earnings carried the day. City Group anialist Michael k raised
- 11:23Speaker 1: profit projections and lifted his twelve month to share price
- 11:26Speaker 1: estimate by a dollar to fourteen dollars. That he's neutral
- 11:30Speaker 1: in the company, Others were anything but neutral. In fact,
- 11:34Speaker 1: Nation Star actually got to K's twelvemonth estimate in a
- 11:38Speaker 1: single day. The stock jumped almost nineteen per cent. It
- 11:41Speaker 1: was the biggest one day advancedince going public and a
- 11:45Speaker 1: close at fourteen dollars and one cent. Steve Wilson, our
