Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Ed Ludlow, BTech Co-Anchor, discusses how BlackRock Inc.'s Global Infrastructure Partners is in advanced talks to acquire Aligned Data Centers, which could be valued at about $40 billion in a transaction. MGX, an AI investment company, is also involved in the talks and would invest independently as part of a transaction, with Mubadala having already invested in Aligned.

- Siddharth Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses how Boeing Co.'s 777X is slated to fly commercially for the first time in early 2027, a fresh setback to the US planemaker. The delay could result in potentially billions of dollars in accounting charges, with analysts estimating the non-cash accounting charge could run from $2.5 billion to as much as $4 billion.

-- Jody Lurie, Bloomberg Intelligence Credit Analyst, discusses her outlook for cruises. Bloomberg Intelligence says that Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian may need to be more vigilant about consumer demand for cruises in 2026.

-- Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses why toymakers are facing demand uncertainty ahead of the holidays. Bloomberg Intelligence says Hasbro and Mattel's 3Q results in late October will be pivotal, with holiday demand -- which drives up to two-thirds of annual sales.
