Saudi Arabia’s sovereign credit rating was affirmed at A1 by Moody’s Investors Service on expectations that fiscal consolidation will continue over the medium term, stabilizing the government’s debt burden.

Moody’s expects the government’s ambitious structural reform agenda to "reduce the exposure of Saudi Arabia’s economy and public sector balance sheet to oil prices," according to the statement. The stable outlook indicates that the risks to the ratings are balanced, the agency said.

Saudi Arabia’s economy contracted 0.7 percent last year as the kingdom cut oil output and the private sector struggled with lower crude prices and rapid economic policy shifts meant to diversify and open up the oil-reliant economy.

Saudi Arabia raised $11 billion this week in the biggest dollar bond sale by an emerging market nation this year. The kingdom plans to borrow a total of $31 billion this year to bridge an expected budget deficit of $52 billion and fund its growth plans.

Before the open Wednesday, Zynga (ZNGA) announced a $250 million cash purchase of a game developer in Turkey. The large cash balance makes the deal a simple financial transaction that trades bookings favored by the market for cash sitting idle on the balance sheet. The move further instills the undervalued investment thesis.

Gram Games

Gram Games created Merge Dragons! and 1010! that contribute about $9 million in monthly bookings. The company forecast a $10 million boost to Q2 bookings based on a May 25 closing date for the deal.

Merge Dragons! has recently reached a Top 50 grossing ranking for the iPhone, but neither game stands out. The game was released back in 2017 so the customer acquisition and live services skills of Zynga could help boost the game metrics.

    It may be unhealthy to trade drug stocks Friday. The word on Wall Street is to not expect too much from President Trump’s speech on drug prices. That means expect the unexpected, and prepare for a volatility spike in key healthcare names such as Express Scripts (ESRX) , CVS Health (CVS) , Endo International (ENDP) , Mallinckrodt (MNK) , McKesson (MCK) and Cardinal Health (CAH) .

    Reports TheStreet’s Bill Meagher: “Evercore ISI may be an outlier as its analysts anticipate that recent speeches by officials from the Food and Drug Administration, Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services may have telegraphed the Trump administration’s willingness to move beyond loud talk and tweets into policy discussions. In those tweets and in talks with his cabinet, Trump has been critical of the pharmaceutical sector and its pricing of prescription drugs, famously saying on at least two occasions that companies are “getting away with murder.”
