0:22 Speaker 01 Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news.
0:30 Speaker 02 The Stock Movers Podcast, your roundup of companies making moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.
0:39 Speaker 03 Let's take a look at some stocks on the move on this Tuesday. Bloomberg News equities reporter Nora Melinda on Tuesday's Stock Movers. So Newsmax, yeah, I mean, how could you not talk about Newsmax today?
0:52 Speaker 04 I just think it's such an insane number. That's why I love talking about these big numbers, right? So we're seeing Newsmax shares that ended for triple-digit gains today, up 179%. We know, of course, that Newsmax is owned by former New York Post journalist Christopher Ruddy. And this company really got a lot of traction during the election time period, the run-up to the election, as people were tuning into conservative media ahead of President Trump's presidential election. This company IPO'd yesterday and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The company has a market value of more than $10.7 billion, but it did surge triple digits yesterday, 780% jump.
1:35 Speaker 03 No, it's $30 billion.
1:36 Speaker 04 Is it?
1:37 Speaker 03 It's $30 billion.
1:38 Speaker 04 Where am I speaking?
1:39 Speaker 03 No, listen, I'm with you because at one point-
1:41 Speaker 05 That was probably yesterday.
1:42 Speaker 04 Clearly, I'm outdated.
1:44 Speaker 03 Earlier in the session, I actually had noted it, and I was like, oh, it's now like a $10 or $12 billion market cap. But it just kept going up, going up.
1:52 Speaker 04 My goodness.
1:53 Speaker 03 It is a $30 billion market cap company. It is up 2,200%.
1:58 Speaker 04 Wow, making Chris a billionaire now.
1:59 Speaker 03 Sorry.
2:00 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah, he's a billionaire now. And just to remain contextualize this for us during our simulcast, looking at Warner Brothers Discovery, for example, that's a 25. Billion dollar company Paramount Global and 8.3 billion dollar company. Talking about like, what about the New York Times? Because.
2:18 Speaker 03 All I'm gonna say is mid May, they're gonna report their earnings. Cannot wait.
2:23 Speaker 05 So New York Times, I'm just pulling it up on the terminal, 8.2 billion dollar company.
2:26 Speaker 03 All right, we gotta move on.
2:27 Speaker 04 The comparison is insane.
2:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, we just gotta move on.
2:29 Speaker 05 We'll see how long it goes for.
2:31 Speaker 03 I know, I know, I know.
2:32 Speaker 05 Stuff does not last forever.
2:34 Speaker 04 Right. Keeping kind of in the realm of entertainment. I was also keeping an eye on companies like Vivid Seats and Live Nation. We had Vivid Seats falling. It fell about 2.4% today. Live Nation did end up 1% higher, but why we've really been looking at this today is because President Trump signed an executive order. He's really trying to crack down on ticket scalping and fees. We had our colleague Kayla Gardner in DC. She wrote about this on the terminal yesterday evening, but essentially Trump is trying to direct the FTC to work with the DOJ to ensure that competition laws are enforced in the concert and entertainment industry. I don't know if you guys remember way back when, when Taylor Swift's concert tickets were surging.
3:12 Speaker 05 That was not very long ago.
3:13 Speaker 04 I know, I know.
3:14 Speaker 05 In my lifetime, that wasn't long ago.
3:18 Speaker 03 She just finished her tour. They were really expensive.
3:21 Speaker 04 So much has happened since then, but they were so expensive, so.
3:24 Speaker 03 But they were expensive because they were in demand. Like, is this about the fees and stuff that?
3:28 Speaker 05 Thank you for laughing.
3:29 Speaker 03 No, but is this really about the fees that are thrown on top of everything?
3:32 Speaker 04 I mean, that's, he's saying that he's urging for transparency at, quote, "all stages of the ticket purchasing process." So, I mean, of course, that's not the best news for places like Vivid Seats.
3:41 Speaker 03 Supply and demand, but I just feel like.
3:44 Speaker 04 They can really run up a, run up a ticket.
3:46 Speaker 03 When scalpers used to buy them all and like.
3:48 Speaker 05 You know, I'm just gonna throw this out there.
3:50 Speaker 03 Are you just hurt?
3:51 Speaker 05 I'm hurt because I don't think Bon Iver is gonna go on a new tour this year, and Bon Iver's got a new album coming out in a little over a week. This is my favorite band. I wouldn't call it an art project. It's not even a band. You guys know what your, the Bon Iver stands know when I'm talking about.
4:06 Speaker 03 I was like, oh, is this something your son like listens to?
4:09 Speaker 05 Well, he does because he's forced to listen to it because I force him to listen to it.
4:12 Speaker 03 Bon Iver, sounds like.
4:13 Speaker 05 No, Bon Iver.
4:15 Speaker 03 Bon Iver.
4:16 Speaker 04 You might have to do the spelling.
4:18 Speaker 05 Where's Cece?
4:20 Speaker 04 A little lost over here.
4:21 Speaker 03 It's not like Bunny Bear. Okay, come on, we gotta get to one more. PVH, this was a stock that I highlighted.
4:25 Speaker 04 Yes, a name in the green, owner Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. We saw double-digit gains today, up 18%. That's the best day in two years for the company. It said that it expects sales growth
4:35 Speaker 03 I know.
4:36 Speaker 04 Or slightly positive, but Wall Street was thinking that they would have a percentage, a half-point decline in terms of percentage there for sales growth. But Evercore did call out that some of the company's initiatives are, quote, "starting to stabilize the business." But I mean, if you look at the stock, it's still down, what, almost 40% this year?
4:52 Speaker 05 What's it, Jeremy Allen White? That's the, uh,
4:55 Speaker 04 You're finding it?
4:56 Speaker 03 No, let's go back to the Calvin Klein underwear.
4:58 Speaker 05 Yeah, the Calvin Klein.
4:59 Speaker 03 The Bear.
5:00 Speaker 04 Ah.
5:01 Speaker 05 The Bear, season three of The Bear. When is that happening?
5:03 Speaker 04 No spoilers, please.
5:04 Speaker 03 How long is it gonna take for you to get over this?
5:07 Speaker 05 You know, probably until next quarter.
5:08 Speaker 03 Yesterday, or after the close yesterday, when the earnings came out.
5:12 Speaker 05 When is that happening?
5:13 Speaker 03 And so he was looking at PVH because we were breaking down the earnings and up pops on the screen is The Bear.
5:19 Speaker 05 So June.
5:21 Speaker 03 Underwear.
5:21 Speaker 05 June 2025, perhaps, according to Gemini, Google AI, unsighted.
5:26 Speaker 03 Okay.
5:26 Speaker 05 Okay, potentially.
