Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Matt Miller, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

- Paramount Skydance (PSKY) shares climbed in trading today adding to Tuesday’s 8.4% advance and making it one of today's top performers in the S&P 500. Paramount Skydance is the resulting company formed by Paramount Global’s merger with Skydance Media, which was approved by the FCC on July 25; the combined company began trading on Aug. 8. On Aug. 11, Paramount said it has acquired the exclusive rights to show all events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US from TKO Group in a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal.

- Bullish (BLSH) shares jumped 132% from the IPO price after the digital-asset exchange operator and owner of media outlet CoinDesk raised $1.1 billion in an initial public offering. The IPO was more than 20 times oversubscribed, people familiar with the matter have said. Bullish, which counts former New York Stock Exchange president Tom Farley as its Chief Executive Officer, offers crypto spot trading, margin trading and derivatives trading, with a focus on institutional investors, the filing shows. Its margin and derivatives products aren’t currently available in the US or to US users.

- Cisco (CSCO) the largest maker of machines that run computer networks and the internet, gave a lukewarm forecast for the current fiscal year, disappointing investors who hoped for a boost from massive AI data center projects. Sales will be between $59 billion and $60 billion in the fiscal year that runs through July 2026, the company said in a statement Wednesday. At the midpoint, that’s roughly in line with the average Wall Street estimate of $59.5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Some analysts, though, we’re looking for more than $61 billion.
