Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu
-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, discusses earnings from Warner Bros Discovery and Fox. Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. reported a drop in sales due to the loss of National Basketball Association rights and a movie lineup that compared poorly with last year. Fox Corp reported adjusted earnings per share for the fourth quarter that beat the average analyst estimate. In separate news: Britain's antitrust watchdog and culture minister decided against escalating scrutiny of Paramount Skydance Corp.'s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.
-Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Alphabet’s recent departures. Alphabet Inc.'s Google is concentrating its artificial intelligence leadership at its Mountain View, California, headquarters to gain momentum in the accelerating race against Anthropic and OpenAI. Koray Kavukcuoglu has been appointed to run Google's AI research and operations, while Demis Hassabis has stepped back from day-to-day operations to become chairman of Google DeepMind and Alphabet's Chief Scientist.
-Jody Lurie, Bloomberg Intelligence Credit Analyst, discusses earnings from Hertz and Six Flags. Hertz Global Holdings Inc. beat Wall Street’s earnings estimates, a boost for the struggling rental car company following an unusual debt-raise maneuver and a warning of weakness in the used-vehicle market. Six Flags reported net revenue for the second quarter that missed the average analyst estimate.
-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses earnings from Burger King. Burger King’s US sales surged last quarter, with comparable sales jumping 8.5% in the three months through June 30. The chain has invested in advertising, restaurant remodels, menu upgrades, and extra training since 2022 to reverse an earlier sales slump, and has launched marketing stunts and limited-time offers.
