Nvidia Moves Higher; Pfizer in Shutdown Flux; Rumble Rises

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Nvidia (NVDA) shares are moving higher in the premarket session with the company paring some of its losses from last week. S&P 500 futures rose 1% after a group of Senate Democrats broke with their party on a procedural measure to help Republicans advance a funding bill. Nasdaq 100 contracts gained 1.5% after the underlying index suffered its worst week since April. Nvidia Corp. led gains among the Magnificent Seven tech stocks in premarket trading, rising more than 3%.
- Shares of Pfizer (PFE) edge higher in early trading, despite concerns as the US government shutdown approaches a resolution with no deal regarding healthcare subsidies. Meantime, Novo Nordisk's (NOVO) weekend decision to exit the bidding war for Metsera (MTSR) clears the way for Pfizer's amended offer of $86.25 per share -- or a total of up to $10 billion, which now requires formal Metsera shareholder approval at a November 13th meeting. The implied 10.1x EV-to-2030 consensus sales multiple is at the top end of recent Pharma-Biotech deals and highlights the continued significant interest of large-cap Pharma in clinical-stage obesity assets.
- Shares of YouTube competitor Rumble (RUM) soared ahead of the US market open, after the conservative video service agreed to push ahead with a deal for German data center operator Northern Data AG at a reduced price, after news of a tax probe jeopardized the transaction. Northern Data owners will receive 2.0281 Rumble Class A shares per share they tender, it said in a statement Monday. That’s equivalent to about $11.95 per share, or €10.32, using Rumble’s Friday closing price. Bloomberg News reported Sunday that the companies, which are both backed by stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings Ltd., were nearing a deal.
