Closing Bell: PayPal Gains, Pfizer Tumbles, Comcast Rises

Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Katie Greifeld, Tim Stenovec and Carol Massar.

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- PayPal Holdings (PYPL) shares are up after the fintech company applied to become a bank in the US. The move is logical, could unlock long-term monetization and should be approved given the favorable regulatory environment, according to some analysts. However, the timeline is uncertain and it could take some years, they said.
- Pfizer (PFE) forecast little growth in sales for next year as the drugmaker looks to refresh its pipeline of hit drugs with a series of pricey acquisitions. Revenue next year will be $59.5 billion to $62.5 billion, roughly in line with Wall Street’s estimate, Pfizer said Tuesday in a statement. Sales this year are expected at $62 billion, within the range the company projected in early November.
- Comcast (CMCSA) shares rise as much as 3.8%, to the highest intraday since Oct. 28, after David Faber comments on CNBC about interesting trading activity, particularly in the swaps market, and also in options.
