 - Kevin Crowley, Bloomberg Senior Oil Reporter, discusses Chevron planning to invest $7 billion over the next five years to more than double crude production in Venezuela through its joint venture partnerships. The company won the right to develop two giant oil fields in the Carabobo area of the Orinoco Belt, which are located next to Chevron’s Petroindependencia joint venture.

-Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, discusses the impact of oil prices and geopolitics on the transportation industry.

-Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Uber job cuts and Nvidia. Uber Technologies Inc. is cutting about 3,300 roles, or 10% of its staff globally, in a restructuring aimed at reducing management layers and reallocating spending into its ride-sharing, delivery and robotaxi businesses. Separately, Nvidia Corp. is in advanced talks to acquire artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face in a transaction that may total about $14 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. 

-Woo Jin Ho, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Hardware and Networking Analyst, recaps Dell earnings. Dell Technologies Inc. shares jumped after the company boosted its annual sales forecast by $25 billion due to surging demand for servers to run artificial intelligence tasks. Revenue in the fiscal year ending in January 2027 will be about $192 billion, including $74 billion from the sale of AI servers, which is up from an outlook in May of about $167 billion. The AI server forecast represents a threefold increase over the prior year, and the company has booked more than $130 billion in AI server orders over the past 12 months.

- Mark Gurman, Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech, discusses John Ternus taking the reins as Apple CEO on September 1st. John Ternus won’t have much time before the company begins its annual fall product rollouts. This year the lineup will include an unusually ambitious slate of devices he’s been teasing for months internally, including the first foldable iPhone and a smart display that can recognize who’s speaking and tailor content to them. Former CEO Tim Cook told employees he will miss the role of chief executive officer but has "enormous comfort" in the leadership of his replacement, John Ternus.

-Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Anchor, discusses Anthropic agreeing to a $35 billion computing deal with Lambda, a cloud provider backed by Nvidia Corp. The deal is part of an effort to quickly expand Anthropic's AI capacity, and involves a Texas data center being developed by Hut 8. He also talks about John Ternus taking the reins as Apple CEO on September 1st.   

-Matt Henriksson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Medtech Analyst, discusses Medtronic earnings. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Medtronic beating estimates and raising guidance point to expanding market share in its cardiovascular franchise, which should aid the company's pivot to its robotic strategy. Medtronic raised its outlook for organic sales growth to 7.25-7.75% from 6.75-7.25%, thanks to a 88% gain in fiscal 1Q for Cardiac Ablation Solutions, which houses pulsed field ablation tech, and an increase in the low-20% range for the Micra leadless pacemaker.

-Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, discusses his column: “Big Tech Is Incapable of Solving Its Own Problem.” Bill Gates published an essay saying he would slow the development of artificial intelligence if he could, and elaborated that people who understand AI are "very worried" but few are raising issues in public. A bipartisan coalition of attorneys general announced a proposed settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. that obligates the company to put restrictions on how children use its platforms, including a two-hour default daily limit and a block from midnight to 6 a.m. The tech industry's lack of self-regulation and prioritization of profit over safety has led to public opposition, with many Americans saying they don't trust AI leaders and opposing data center construction.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Nvidia investing $3.5 billion in MediaTek to deepen collaboration with the Taiwanese chipmaker. The investment will see MediaTek using Nvidia's NVLink Fusion and NVHBM technology to help components communicate more seamlessly in data centers. The agreement is part of Nvidia's effort to ensure the future of artificial intelligence is built around its hardware platform and standards.

-Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News Senior Equities Reporter, discusses Anthropic’s future IPO. Anthropic PBC’s IPO is expected to raise as much as SpaceX’s record $86.2 billion debut and is casting a long shadow over companies’ US listing plans. Some firms are finding it hard to get the attention of investors with the prospect of an Anthropic IPO imminent, and companies may decide to list before or after Anthropic to avoid competition.

-Michelle Cortez, Bloomberg Senior Editor for Global Business, discusses Eli Lilly plans to buy Merida Biosciences for as much as $2.88 billion in cash to expand in autoimmune and allergic diseases. Merida is developing products that target auto-antibodies tied to diseases, including MER511, which is in early testing for Graves’ disease and thyroid eye disease. The deal is part of Lilly’s strategy to invest in technologies that can transform the treatment of diseases beyond obesity, with the company having announced more than $20 billion in deals so far in 2026.

- Matthew Palazola, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Analyst, P&C Insurance, discusses KKR being set to reap a $3.3 billion windfall from its deal to sell USI Insurance Services to Aon Plc for $17 billion. The transaction will generate about $2 billion of adjusted net income for the private equity giant, according to a statement. The sale is expected to generate a 3.4 times return on KKR’s balance-sheet capital invested, and will help expand Aon’s middle-market business.
