Nvidia Dips Ahead of Earnings; EW Scripps Soars on Sinclair Stake

Описание: On this episode of Stock Movers with Lisa Mateo:

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) edged lower in early trading ahead of the company's highly anticipated earnings report due Wednesday after the close. Monday's premarket dip comes after Peter Thiel’s hedge fund Thiel Macro LLC sold off its holdings in Nvidia Corp. during the third quarter, marking another retreat from the leading provider of artificial-intelligence chips. The fund offloaded its entire position of 537,742 shares in the world’s premier AI chipmaker, which would have been worth about $100 million based on the closing price from Sept. 30. The Thiel Macro fund now counts Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp. and a reduced stake in Tesla Inc. as its main bets, according to a 13F filing.

Shares of Alphabet (GOOG) moved higher ahead of the US market open, after regulatory filings Friday showed Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway acquired 17.9 million shares in the Google parent during the third quarter. Even boasting some of the strongest balance sheets and highest ratings among corporate issuers, software and services providers' increased spending and borrowing have widened their bond spreads, with some facing downgrades. Though spreads are wider, the risk of significant widening, for most, appears contained. In fact, the largest hyperscalers -- including Amazon.com, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta -- may be among the best positioned across the Bloomberg US Corporate Bond Index, based on Bloomberg Intelligence's credit-driver matrix.

Shares of The EW Scripps Co. (SSP) soared in the premarket trade after Sinclair took a 8.2% stake in the news multimedia company as part of a potential merger strategy that the pair have been discussing for several months, according to a 13D filing. Amid industry headwinds and a more favorable FCC tone on M&A, the company has suggested a large-scale deal could generate $600-$900 million in annual synergies from retransmission step-ups and cost efficiencies.
