Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

- Michael Shah, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Pharma-Biotech Analyst, discusses Novo Nordisk undercutting Eli Lilly & Co. on obesity drugs for cash-pay patients, with introductory doses of Wegovy and Ozempic available for $199 a month. After the first two months, Novo will offer the drugs for $349 a month, 30% less than the current self-pay price, matching Lilly’s price for a low dose of Zepbound.

-- Liana Baker, Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Deals, discusses Clayton Dubilier & Rice agreeing to buy Sealed Air Corp. in a deal valuing the packaging company that invented Bubble Wrap at $6.2 billion. The private equity firm will pay $42.15 a share for Charlotte, North Carolina-based Sealed Air, according to a statement Monday. That’s slightly below Friday’s closing price of $43.28 a share, after reports that CD&R was weighing a takeover.

-Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail, discusses why Ralph Lauren, Gap, Macy's and Dillard's are set to post stronger full-price sales in 2026 as fresh styles, collaborations and limited editions gain traction on social media, while new store openings can lift Aritzia, Burlington and Urban Outfitters. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Tariff pressures should ease by 2H26, with selective price hikes and other measures poised to boost margins across most retailers.

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst discusses his outlook for U.S restaurant sales in the fourth quarter. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: US restaurant same-store sales rose 0.7% in October, but could drop in November due to the government shutdown and a tough comparison. Time is running out on casual dining's edge over quick service as it faces steep base effects this month and in 2026. Quick-service chains like McDonald's and Domino's should outperform on easier comparisons, value and a bigger benefit from tax reform.
