Confluent Deal Report; Jeffries Slips; BMW Slumps

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Confluent (CFLT) shares soared as Reuters reports that the data infrastructure company is exploring a sale after receiving acquisition interest. The firm has engaged an investment bank to manage the process, Reuters reports, citing people it didn’t identify. No deal is guaranteed
- Jeffries (JEF) shares slipped on news it said it has $161 million of exposure to funds that held trade receivables and loans of bankrupt auto-parts supplier First Brands Group. The exposure is mostly through Point Bonita Capital, a division of its Leucadia Asset Management, which manages trade-finance assets on behalf of third-party institutional and other investors. Leucadia has a $113 million equity stake in the fund, according to a statement.
- BMW (BMWKY) is the worst performing stock in Europe this morning after the company lowered its financial guidance due to weak sales in China and tariff costs.
