Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Lululemon earnings. Lululemon Athletica forecasted a second-straight year of profit declines and its sales forecast missed the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

-Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail, discusses Macy's earnings. Macy’s shares rose after the company forecasted stronger-than-expected sales in the current quarter, a sign that its fiscal year is off to a solid start as middle- and higher-income households continue to spend.

-Diana Gomes, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Equity Analyst, discusses Unilever  considering a separation of its food assets to focus on beauty, personal care and wellbeing brands. The company is studying options such as spinning off the food business as a whole, or keeping some marquee brands while separating the rest.

-Diana Rosero Pena, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Staples Analyst, discusses General Mills earnings. General Mills reported results for last quarter that missed Wall Street projections, weighed down by a decision to lower prices. The company said sales declines in North America for the current quarter were largely in line with internal expectations after shaving prices across two-thirds of its portfolio and divesting its yogurt business.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses US airline executives seeing strong booking trends. Delta Air Lines Inc. and American Airlines Group Inc. reported strong sales, with American Airlines saying revenue in the quarter will rise more than 10% and Delta expecting sales to grow in the high single digits.

-Kristina Peterson, Bloomberg News Food Industry Reporter, discusses Kraft Heinz rolling out a series of healthier products to bolster some of its lagging brands, including a new high-protein Kraft Mac & Cheese and a low-sugar hydration beverage from Capri Sun. The company aims to provide "proof points" to customers and investors that Kraft Heinz can turn its business around by investing in product development and leaning into protein-heavy, better-for-you foods.

-Katherine Chiglinsky, Bloomberg US Finance Team Leader, discusses  Mastercard saying it will acquire the stablecoin infrastructure startup BVNK for as much as $1.8 billion, four months after negotiations between BVNK and Coinbase Global Inc. for a roughly $2 billion deal fell apart.

-Jeffrey Langbaum, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US REIT Analyst, discusses the state of real estate. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: office demand's obituary is premature. Leasing is firm as companies expand in select gateway markets and concentrate in top-quality, transit-linked buildings, while return-to-office mandates rise and AI-related hiring offsets early efficiency gains.
