- 6:15Speaker 1: Signet Jewelers down more than twelve and a half a
- 6:18Speaker 1: percent after the company posted earnings and revenue below analyst
- 6:23Speaker 1: estimates for the seventeen fiscal second a quarter. UH, the
- 6:28Speaker 1: jeweler based in Bermuda, reported earnings suggested earnings of a
- 6:31Speaker 1: dollar fourteen to share. Analysts were expecting earnings of a
- 6:34Speaker 1: dollar forty five. Same store sales down two point three
- 6:38Speaker 1: percent during the same period of time, and the company
- 6:42Speaker 1: says that we're disappointed by the second quarter results. Market
- 6:45Speaker 1: conditions have been challenging, particularly in what they describe as
- 6:49Speaker 1: energy dependent regions. Shares of Signet Jewelers down more than
- 6:53Speaker 1: twelve and a half percent. Well, you know, Pammy, You've
- 6:56Speaker 1: just got me thinking about jewelry now, So I've got
- 6:58Speaker 1: to look at Tiffany ups seven percent today. It posted
- 7:02Speaker 1: second quarter profit the topped analyst estimate a clamp down
- 7:05Speaker 1: on cost help but whether sluggish demand from its affluent customers.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Earnings were eighty four cents to share for the period
- 7:13Speaker 1: end of July thirty one on projections of seventy one cents.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And of course there is a global economic turbulence and
- 7:21Speaker 1: you can have high end luxury customers. That's an issue.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Our Blipic intelligence team has looked a lot at changes
- 7:26Speaker 1: in the dollar, changes in the global economy and how
- 7:28Speaker 1: it affects people come to the US to shop for
- 7:30Speaker 1: things like jewelry. I want to talk about express Scripts,
- 7:34Speaker 1: one of the biggest drug benefit managers, because this whole
- 7:37Speaker 1: issue with my Land and the price increases on its
- 7:41Speaker 1: allergy shot EpiPen have really come home to roost in
- 7:45Speaker 1: terms of express Scripts and its competitors. Uh, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 1: the question is if my Lands raising prices, who gets
- 7:52Speaker 1: the money? I mean, the focus has really been on
- 7:54Speaker 1: the drug maker itself so far. Now people are kind
- 7:58Speaker 1: of broadening their look and uh, they're seeing these these
- 8:02Speaker 1: pharmacy benefit managers as beneficiaries as well. Now. Express Scripts
- 8:06Speaker 1: told us via email that in many cases, employers are
- 8:10Speaker 1: shouldering most of the cost increases for EpiPen. Nonetheless, you've got.
- 8:16Speaker 1: And this all reflects the potential for UH my land
- 8:19Speaker 1: to have to cut the price of this treatment outright,
- 8:22Speaker 1: as opposed to offering more incentives, which was what they
- 8:25Speaker 1: did today, more discounts. Express Scripts down six percent on
- 8:29Speaker 1: the day. I also point out CVS Health down three
- 8:32Speaker 1: and a half percent and McKesson down three percent, both
- 8:34Speaker 1: of them affected by this whole issue with EpiPen. Alright,
- 8:37Speaker 1: and I'll just tell you about stand X International. Now,
- 8:40Speaker 1: this is a company that makes many of the products
- 8:43Speaker 1: for food merchandizing, such as display cases, reusable and expendable
- 8:50Speaker 1: UH magnetic components as well. It operates in the United
- 8:53Speaker 1: States as well as overseas, based in Salem, New Hampshire.
- 8:57Speaker 1: But the shares down more than eight and a half
- 8:59Speaker 1: percent after reporting a fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share
- 9:03Speaker 1: that were below analysts estimates. They missed by four cents.
