- 4:17Speaker 1: index down three a drop there of two tenths of one.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Palatine. Dance of Bloomberg business flash, move around motion,
- 4:27Speaker 1: great emotions at the elite move you move like they do.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I've never seen anyone move that back. Five people's move
- 4:39Speaker 1: like to get a purpose. That was called movers and shakers.
- 4:47Speaker 1: They cost a little more, and that name cracked me up.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Bloomberg taking stock movers and shakers with pimple ox and
- 5:00Speaker 1: Kathleen Hay's on Bloomberg Radio. Stocks dropping a little bit today,
- 5:06Speaker 1: and when you look inside the SMP five hundred you
- 5:09Speaker 1: can see that, yes, then the market definitely tilted towards
- 5:13Speaker 1: the downside, but not by a big, big margin. Two
- 5:16Speaker 1: nine companies saw their share prices closed higher, two hundred
- 5:19Speaker 1: and ninety three lower, three unchanged. So when you look
- 5:23Speaker 1: beneath those numbers, which really moving and shaken. Here to
- 5:25Speaker 1: kick it off is their own stocks. Editor Dave Wilson
- 5:28Speaker 1: tell one stock that was moving and shaken today is
- 5:31Speaker 1: jam Smucker. They were the one company in the SMP
- 5:34Speaker 1: five hundred that reported earnings before the opening bell. You
- 5:38Speaker 1: know them for their jams and jellies, and they make
- 5:41Speaker 1: peanut butter and coffee and a whole lot of other
- 5:43Speaker 1: food products. Well. Actually, the coffee business treated them well
- 5:46Speaker 1: in their latest quarter, of their fiscal fourth quarter UH.
- 5:49Speaker 1: They were able to pay lower prices for coffee beans
- 5:52Speaker 1: and that helped the company report earnings and revenue that
- 5:57Speaker 1: beat analysts average estimates in the Bloomberg Servey. Put that
- 6:00Speaker 1: all together, James Smucker with a gain of almost eight percent.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It was the biggest for the stock in about seven years,
- 6:06Speaker 1: and Smucker shares traded a record today. I was thinking
- 6:09Speaker 1: coffee when I think of James Smucker now, not just
- 6:12Speaker 1: peanut butter, but coffee. Very big coffee business. Let me
- 6:14Speaker 1: tell you about the shares of Apple higher today by
- 6:16Speaker 1: three quarters of a percent. Apple shares closing at nine
- 6:20Speaker 1: and sixty five cents UH. Store updates at Apple. This
- 6:25Speaker 1: has to do with the app store, not the retail store.
- 6:27Speaker 1: The app store has one point nine million applications, so
- 6:31Speaker 1: when you click that button, there's a potential you can
- 6:33Speaker 1: end up in nearly two million applications. And that's been
- 6:36Speaker 1: an issue because something like with the top one percent
- 6:39Speaker 1: of all the publishers collect of the nearly one and
- 6:42Speaker 1: a half billion dollar revenue. Well, Apples looking to change that,
- 6:47Speaker 1: and they're gonna be rolling out some new features to
- 6:49Speaker 1: let developers promote their applications through search results. And just
- 6:53Speaker 1: as a note, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference begins in San
- 6:56Speaker 1: Francisco on Monday, that's the thirteenth, and run until the seventeenth.
- 7:01Speaker 1: We will of course have top live blog and real
- 7:04Speaker 1: time covered. Shares of Apple up three quarters of a
- 7:06Speaker 1: percent today. How do you feel about LinkedIn? Well, if
- 7:09Speaker 1: you're a part of a survey done by Mark Mahaney
- 7:12Speaker 1: over at RBC Capital Markets, you probably said you feel
- 7:15Speaker 1: pretty good. Mark does this regularly. He surveyed tune or
- 7:18Speaker 1: ninety recruiting professionals in the US found that forty of
- 7:21Speaker 1: LinkedIn customers plan to increase their spending on LinkedIn over
- 7:24Speaker 1: the next twelve months. He found seventy eight percent of
- 7:27Speaker 1: customers described themselves as completely or extremely or very satisfied,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and as a result, he has upgraded his call on
- 7:36Speaker 1: the stock from sector perform to outperform, raised his price
- 7:39Speaker 1: target to a bullish hundred sixty bucks per share. Linked In,
- 7:44Speaker 1: even though there are some analysts who still doubt its prospects,
- 7:46Speaker 1: closing up two percent today at a hundred thirty six
- 7:49Speaker 1: dollars in change. Dave, this was not a day to
- 7:52Speaker 1: be in the home furnishings retailing business. And it's all
- 7:56Speaker 1: Restoration Hardware's fault. You know. They came out with an
- 8:00Speaker 1: unexpected loss for the fiscal first quarter, forecast for their
- 8:04Speaker 1: second quarter and full year year failed to meet analysts estimates,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and and and Restoration Hardware with a loss of more
- 8:12Speaker 1: than twenty one percent in today's trading. In the stocks
- 8:16Speaker 1: they took down bed Dath and diond down three point
- 8:18Speaker 1: four percent, Williams Sonoma down five and a half percent,
- 8:21Speaker 1: Pier One down eight percent. So not a good day
- 8:24Speaker 1: for that industry in light of Restoration Hardware's earnings. Activision

- 8:33Speaker 1: that the launch of Destiny Rise of Iron will be

- 10:15Speaker 1: is Dave. Just what do you think you're doing things?
- 10:20Speaker 1: We're going for the price will Dave? Dave forty nine
- 10:28Speaker 1: million dollars share sale and a stock price the fill today.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Tell us about Tesco day. Absolutely, you know, Kathleen, the
- 10:34Speaker 1: meeting of the name Tesco depends on which side of
- 10:36Speaker 1: the Atlantic. Uron pens not in his head in agreement.
- 10:39Speaker 1: He's been in the UK. He knows that Tesco is
- 10:42Speaker 1: among the country's largest grocery chains. And by the way,
- 10:44Speaker 1: Warren Buffetts Berkshire half Away had a stake in that company,
- 10:47Speaker 1: at least for a while now. The US Tesco rents
- 10:50Speaker 1: oil field equipment. It's based in Houston. Company has been
- 10:53Speaker 1: publicly traded since at least it's listened under the ticker
- 10:57Speaker 1: t E s O. That's Tesco without this see now.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Tesco share price tends to track the up and down
- 11:03Speaker 1: of oil prices. A month ago, though they went their
- 11:07Speaker 1: separate ways after the company's physical third quarter results were disappointing.
- 11:11Speaker 1: The stock dropped as much as fifteen percent in the
- 11:14Speaker 1: days after the numbers came out. Now even so Tesco
- 11:17Speaker 1: raised that forty nine million dollars yesterday by selling the
- 11:20Speaker 1: equivalent of a fifteen percent stake, the sale price was
- 11:24Speaker 1: eleven percent less than yesterday's close, and the stock couldn't
- 11:28Speaker 1: make up the gap in today's trading. In fact, it
- 11:30Speaker 1: closed almost exactly at the price at which the share
- 11:34Speaker 1: sale took place seven dollurs. Stock closed at seven oh four.
- 11:38Speaker 1: That works out to weight loss of almost eleven percent.
