- 4:52Speaker 1: Shakers with Pim Fox and Kathleen As on Bloomberg Radio.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Movers and Shakers for Thursday, May nine, teens twenties sixteen,
- 5:01Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine issues in the SMP. Five
- 5:05Speaker 1: hundred advanced, three hundred and forty one decline, and five
- 5:08Speaker 1: remain unchanged. Dave Wilson, Bloomberg Stocks Commist and our resident
- 5:12Speaker 1: Musicologists joins us now to kick off our movers and shakers.
- 5:16Speaker 1: You know, when companies decide to get together and they
- 5:19Speaker 1: refer to the deal as a merger, you know a
- 5:22Speaker 1: lot of times there is effectively a buyer and a seller.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And I'm bringing this up because we had a deal
- 5:28Speaker 1: today in the oil services business, f MC Technologies agreeing
- 5:33Speaker 1: to merge with its French pier Technic in an all
- 5:37Speaker 1: stock deal. It's valued at about thirteen billion dollars. Now
- 5:41Speaker 1: FMC shareholders are gonna get one share in the new
- 5:44Speaker 1: company for every share they already own. It's really in
- 5:46Speaker 1: the Chase they're holding any and then you have Technic,
- 5:50Speaker 1: which is a two for one ratio, and effectively, if
- 5:53Speaker 1: you look at the way the shares performed today, investors
- 5:56Speaker 1: are treating FMC Technologies as the buy or, even though
- 6:00Speaker 1: each company is going to own about half of the
- 6:03Speaker 1: combined company. I bring this up. FMC Technology is falling
- 6:07Speaker 1: four point seven percent today, and Technique, which trades over
- 6:11Speaker 1: the counter here in the US, with a gain of
- 6:13Speaker 1: five point eight percent in response to their deal. Retail
- 6:17Speaker 1: it has been doom and gloom until today. Walmart, of course,
- 6:20Speaker 1: uh exceeding analysts estimates on earnings, but some other very
- 6:24Speaker 1: prominent retailers doing very well, including American Eagle, Urban Outfitters.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Peri ellis, we've got American Eagle closing up eighteen percent,
- 6:32Speaker 1: Urban Outfitters up thirteen percent. Perrealis also up thirteen percent.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Air American Eagle beat their earnings estimate, Urban Outfitters posting
- 6:40Speaker 1: same store sales dress that was stronger than expected. Perrealists
- 6:43Speaker 1: also beating the earnings estimates. In era American Eagles case
- 6:46Speaker 1: in particular, they're capitalizing on demand for denim and bohemian fashions.
- 6:51Speaker 1: I guess pim. Maybe that's the rest of the apparel
- 6:55Speaker 1: industry has got to get on board. Perhaps, well, they're
- 6:57Speaker 1: not going to get on board if they're going to
- 6:59Speaker 1: take all those lu jeans on trucks right now because
- 7:01Speaker 1: a couple of truck makers shares falling today, Commons down
- 7:06Speaker 1: to and a quarter percent, a Packard down more than
- 7:08Speaker 1: three and a quarter percent. This comes after Diamler Trucks
- 7:12Speaker 1: says that the global truck market has worsened in recent
- 7:16Speaker 1: weeks and that there is no revival on orders received,
- 7:20Speaker 1: particularly in the North American market. It says that European
- 7:24Speaker 1: demand is significantly higher, however, competition more intense, and that
- 7:29Speaker 1: that they see demand, for example in Brazil down about
- 7:32Speaker 1: twenty percent, and that is what's sent the shares of
- 7:37Speaker 1: the peer group of Packard down three and a half
- 7:39Speaker 1: percent right now, and Commons closing out the day down
- 7:43Speaker 1: too and a quarter percent. Let's stick with the deal
- 7:45Speaker 1: theme and talk about Mount Santa. You know, last week
- 7:47Speaker 1: we reported the Germany's buyer or if you prefer Bear,
- 7:51Speaker 1: was looking at making an offer for the seed and
- 7:55Speaker 1: pest side company, and sure enough they have done so.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Now we don't know the terms of the deal. We
- 8:02Speaker 1: do know that Monsanto after today is valued at about
- 8:06Speaker 1: forty four billion dollars, So you get some idea of
- 8:10Speaker 1: how big a transaction we might be talking about here.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Uh Monsanto's shares gaining three and a half percent in
- 8:17Speaker 1: today's trading in the wake of the offer. Is that
- 8:20Speaker 1: we don't know the terms yet. Buyer which trades here
- 8:24Speaker 1: in the US again over the counter, down seven points
- 8:27Speaker 1: seven percent, So sharehold is in that company not liking
- 8:30Speaker 1: the idea of coming together with Monsanto. Well, Uh, I
- 8:35Speaker 1: was just talked about some retailers that did well. Let's
- 8:38Speaker 1: look at one that didn't do quite so well. That
- 8:40Speaker 1: would be l Brands down five percent to sixty dollars
- 8:43Speaker 1: and change at the close. Now you might be saying,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Who's hell Brands? Why do we care? Who? Well? Ever
- 8:47Speaker 1: heard the name of Victoria's Secret? How about Bath and
- 8:50Speaker 1: Body Works? How about Henri Bendell and Moore? Uh, the
- 8:53Speaker 1: company did not do so well. It actually fell short
- 8:59Speaker 1: in terms of the earnings and and it cut it's
- 9:01Speaker 1: a full year forecast. Um Boomberg Intelligence writing that they
- 9:06Speaker 1: are having uh some difficulties. Weakness in core Lingerie is
- 9:12Speaker 1: alarming and calls into question whether L Brand's Inc. Is
- 9:15Speaker 1: at the beginning of a trend or just a blip.
- 9:20Speaker 1: While I can tell you just briefly about what's going
- 9:22Speaker 1: on with some of the movers moving higher today, and
- 9:25Speaker 1: I wanted to note, for example, you mentioned retail Kathleen,
- 9:29Speaker 1: but you know L Brands obviously on the downside. But
- 9:32Speaker 1: we've got to look at what's happening to Gap, because
- 9:35Speaker 1: we're gonna be waiting for those results. And the gap
- 9:38Speaker 1: right now was up well closed up forty one cents
- 9:41Speaker 1: on the day, but the shares well last week they
- 9:44Speaker 1: certainly took it on the chin. Today the shares of
- 9:46Speaker 1: Gap are up about one percent and we await their results.

- 10:29Speaker 1: We're going for the price on Wilson, Dave, Dave, Mr Wilson,
- 10:37Speaker 1: all right, tell us about a stock that maybe got
- 10:39Speaker 1: a haircut. Well, put pim It's Regis. It's in the
- 10:44Speaker 1: hair cutting business, the comedy on Supercuts, Smart Style, Master Cuts,
- 10:48Speaker 1: So Soon, Salon Cost Cutters, and First Choice Haircutters, as
- 10:52Speaker 1: well as its namesake salons. Next Moth marks the anniversary
- 10:56Speaker 1: of Regius is, an initial public offering companies ticker is
- 10:59Speaker 1: r g S. It shares peak at forty six dollars
- 11:01Speaker 1: eighty eight cents and two thousand four and have traded
- 11:05Speaker 1: on either side of fifteen dollars since US stocks began
- 11:07Speaker 1: their current bowl market in two thousand nine. Today, shares
- 11:10Speaker 1: of Regis dropped after the US Labor Department adopted new
- 11:13Speaker 1: rules on overtime pay. The agency more than double the
- 11:16Speaker 1: salary ceiling for employees to qualify four time and a
- 11:20Speaker 1: half if they worked more than forty hours a week.
- 11:22Speaker 1: The change led Piper Jeffrey to cut its rating on
- 11:24Speaker 1: Regis to the equivalent of self from neutral. Piper reversed
- 11:28Speaker 1: that call hours later after learning from the company that
- 11:31Speaker 1: story level managers weren't on salary. Now, Regis estimated the
- 11:35Speaker 1: rule may cost the company just five million dollars a year,
- 11:38Speaker 1: rather than the eighty one million the Piper projected. Even so,
- 11:42Speaker 1: Companies shares fell nine percent closed at their lowest price
- 11:46Speaker 1: since October, and during the day they were down as
- 11:49Speaker 1: much as nineteen and a half percent. In the wake
- 11:52Speaker 1: of Piper Jeffreys very brief downgrade. Stave Wilson, thank you
