On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Jack Daniel’s whiskey maker Brown-Forman (BF/B) soared as much as 21% on Thursday, a record intraday climb, following a Bloomberg report that French beverages company Pernod Ricard is seeking to buy the company. Wall Street notes that the Brown family has the majority of voting control and has rebuffed previous attempts to sell, but persistent industry weakness could make a deal more likely.
- Cybersecurity stocks tumbled Friday morning on the news of a new Anthropic model, with shares of CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and other cybersecurity stocks among the worst performers in the S&P 500 index.
- Carnival shares fall as much as 4.7% after the cruise operator reduced its adjusted earnings per share, Ebitda and net income forecasts for the full year, with each metric missing consensus estimates. Peers Norwegian Cruise (-4.3%), Royal Caribbean (-3.0%) and Viking (-2.1%) also decline.
