- 2:49Speaker 1: Bureau chief Megan Murphy says the news that d n
- 2:52Speaker 1: C Chair Wasserman Schultz is resigning could loom large. It
- 2:56Speaker 1: does seem like something that wouldn't seem like it's a
- 2:59Speaker 1: wider entr us. But to have the chair of the
- 3:01Speaker 1: party's committee resigned on the even of the convention is
- 3:05Speaker 1: drama like we haven't seen it one of these conventions
- 3:07Speaker 1: in many years. It looks like the Democrats are going
- 3:10Speaker 1: to rival the Republicans for convention. Actually, that's full of news.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake will gabble in the full
- 3:18Speaker 1: convention in place of the outgoing Wasserman Schultz. Meanwhile, a
- 3:22Speaker 1: new pole indicates Donald Trump got a post convention bounce.

- 4:13Speaker 1: six drop there of three tenths of one percent. I'm
- 4:17Speaker 1: Charlie Pellett and that's a Bloomberg business flash. Move around
- 4:22Speaker 1: most and create promotion app the elite move. Can you
- 4:27Speaker 1: move like they do? I've never seen anyone move that
- 4:30Speaker 1: fast hard people. Let's move like to get a purpose
- 4:41Speaker 1: he's called movers and shakers. They cost a little more
- 4:43Speaker 1: about that name. Cracked me up. Bloomberg taking stock Movers
- 4:53Speaker 1: and Shakers with Pim Fox and Kathleen As on Bloomberg Radio.
- 4:58Speaker 1: So we have modest climbs across the board and the
- 5:00Speaker 1: major market indexes on this Monday, we had two eight gainers,
- 5:04Speaker 1: two nine losers, eight stocks closing unchanged in the SP
- 5:08Speaker 1: five hundred. Joe Staley is back Bloomberg Stocks Reporter to
- 5:11Speaker 1: kick offf movers and shakers. First up, we have Roper Technologies.
- 5:15Speaker 1: This is the Sarasota, Florida based manufacture of industrial equipment.
- 5:20Speaker 1: They had quarterly earnings that fell short of analyst estimates
- 5:23Speaker 1: and uh is actually it's it's worst mis ever and
- 5:26Speaker 1: it's kind of out of the ordinary for this company.
- 5:28Speaker 1: It's just, uh, you know, the second time in the
- 5:30Speaker 1: last eleven periods they've they've missed analysts estimates. So something
- 5:34Speaker 1: being negatively digested by investors. Stock is down six. I'm
- 5:39Speaker 1: gonna tell you about the shares a Sprint up more
- 5:42Speaker 1: than twenty seven and a half percent, Yes, twenty seven
- 5:46Speaker 1: and a half percent gain for Sprint five dollars nine
- 5:49Speaker 1: cent shares of Sprint. They reverse to all of last
- 5:51Speaker 1: week's slide, mainly because of the quarterly earnings release. It
- 5:56Speaker 1: completely took Wall Street by surprise. There was a key number,
- 5:59Speaker 1: hundred and seven three thousand. That was how many net
- 6:02Speaker 1: post paid phone subscribers. This is the most profitable type
- 6:06Speaker 1: of customer. This is the customer that all cell phone
- 6:10Speaker 1: operators are looking for. Sprint added a hundred and seventy
- 6:13Speaker 1: three thousand of them during the quarter, and that's surprised
- 6:17Speaker 1: Wall Street as well as investors. Shares up more than
- 6:21Speaker 1: twenty seven and a half percent. Oh that's a that's
- 6:24Speaker 1: a nice move. Well, you know, but the retailers aren't
- 6:26Speaker 1: doing too well, too poorly. Today the SNPF hundred apparel
- 6:30Speaker 1: retail index hitting its highest intra day since April, versus
- 6:35Speaker 1: the SMP composite index excuse me, compositis down as much
- 6:40Speaker 1: as zero point six percent. What is going on for
- 6:43Speaker 1: one Urban Outfitters? They had their price target increased At
- 6:47Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank. They were saying that they maintained their hold,
- 6:52Speaker 1: but they up their second quarter estimate to fifty six
- 6:56Speaker 1: cents from fifty one cents. And in fact they see
- 6:59Speaker 1: upside risks on the stocks, including acceleration in top line
- 7:03Speaker 1: trends and UH. Meanwhile, Cohen pointed out that the decline
- 7:07Speaker 1: in sales for July are only two point one percent,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and that was better than June's three percent decline and
- 7:15Speaker 1: May six point four percent. So if you look at
- 7:18Speaker 1: urban outfitters up sharply nearly three percent, but also Macy's, Nords, Drums,
- 7:24Speaker 1: the whole whole sector has been lifted to day Joe
- 7:28Speaker 1: great and UH. And next we have ever Bank Financial Corp. Uh.
- 7:31Speaker 1: This is the the largest Florida bank, Florida based bank.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It's up about today. UH. It's receiving sale interests UM
- 7:40Speaker 1: from a potential suitor. It's been working with ubs to
- 7:43Speaker 1: solicit offers from potential buyers and UM. And really what
- 7:47Speaker 1: we're seeing here is this this effect of of UM,
- 7:51Speaker 1: I guess acquisition interests goosing a stock price up a
- 7:54Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe people trying to get ahead of any
- 7:57Speaker 1: sort of announcement that maybe forthcoming pricing to the market. Uh.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Like I said about and that news was broken by
- 8:04Speaker 1: our own Matthew Monks. Let's talk about the shares a
- 8:06Speaker 1: Pandora media talking about potential emergency acquisitions at the stock
- 8:11Speaker 1: of Pandora Media up five and a half percent today.
- 8:14Speaker 1: They have hired Center View Partners to advise on what
- 8:18Speaker 1: they called strategic options, and are trying to make nice
- 8:22Speaker 1: with activist investor Corvex Management LP. This all according to
- 8:27Speaker 1: people familiar with the matter. Corvex is the hedge fund
- 8:29Speaker 1: is run by Keith Meister. They disclosed a nine point
- 8:32Speaker 1: nine percent stake in Pandora in May and they have
- 8:36Speaker 1: been pushing the company to explore a sale once again.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Shares a Pandora Media up five and a half percent. Well,
- 8:43Speaker 1: a nice move up for Micron Technology, the largest US
- 8:48Speaker 1: memory chip maker, up as much as nine percent in
- 8:51Speaker 1: fact at the close now up six percent, so off
- 8:55Speaker 1: the highs. But it took steps to make a takeover
- 8:58Speaker 1: more difficult. It's myke Its board of directors adopted a
- 9:01Speaker 1: poison pill. Of course, this is a rights issues that
- 9:04Speaker 1: would be triggered if an individual or group acquires four
- 9:08Speaker 1: point more of the company's out standing stock, and this
- 9:13Speaker 1: has rekindled speculation that the company could be a takeover
- 9:18Speaker 1: target and acquire from China or Intel, which has a
- 9:21Speaker 1: joint venture with my Con, would be the most likely buyers.
- 9:25Speaker 1: According to our Bloomberg story and offer from either wouldn't
- 9:28Speaker 1: be straightforward and is unlikely to happen anytime soon, according
- 9:31Speaker 1: to Colin and Company. Well, I'll tell you about the
