On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Netflix (NFLX) shares are lower after President Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on films produced overseas, extending his restrictive trade policies to the entertainment sector. The announcement has raised questions about how the tariff would work, with many films involving global production and post-production work done in various countries.
- Disney (DIS) shares sank this morning ahead of a key earnings report. The stock's also following Netflix and other companies exposed to movie production due to President Trump's tariff announcement on foreign films production.
- Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) fell in premarket trading after Warren Buffett announced he will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at year-end, with Greg Abel set to take over upon board approval. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Matthew Palazola and Eric Bedell expect Abel to maintain Berkshire’s ethos, and say that he may also bring a fresher approach to capital management.
- Tyson Foods (TSN) is lower this morning even though earnings jumped more than expected as increased profits from chicken sales outweighed another quarter of losses at the company’s beef business. Tyson has heavily relied on elevated chicken profits to alleviate the cost impact of a severe cattle shortage on its earnings, but the chicken boom could be waning.
