In this special podcast, Bloomberg reporters Leen Al-Rashdan and Salma El Wardany discuss the effects of the boycott movements, speak to those who've changed their spending habits, and to businesses who've seen an increase in sales as consumers make the switch to more local brands.

-Anurag Rana, Senior Tech Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, recaps Salesforce earnings. Salesforce Inc. jumped after the software company gave an outlook for strong revenue expansion and deepened its partnership with Anthropic PBC. Sales will be about $11.5 billion in the fiscal third quarter, and current remaining performance obligations will increase about 14%.

-Kunjan Sobhani, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Semiconductor Analyst, recaps Nvidia earnings. Nvidia Corp. said revenue will grow about 70% next fiscal year, outstripping analysts’ estimates for a 45% jump. The company's Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said Nvidia would grow faster if it had access to more supplies, and that customers' forecasts point to the company's growth doubling next year.

-Matthew Schettenhelm, Bloomberg Intelligence Media Litigation Analyst, discusses the latest on Meta. Meta Platforms Inc.'s changes to Instagram and Facebook will apply only to US users for now, and include limits to how long younger users can spend on the apps and restrictions on switching off safety settings.  The changes are part of a series of landmark settlements to resolve claims that the social media networks are a safety risk to children, and will cost the company as much as $18 billion.

-Redd Brown, Bloomberg Consumer Reporter, discusses earnings from Dollar Tree and Dollar General. Dollar Tree Inc. mostly met Wall Street expectations last quarter and left its sales growth outlook for the year unchanged. Dollar General Corp. lifted its view for annual revenue after a quarterly sales beat, with comparable sales growth of 3.5% in the second quarter.

-Matthew Schettenhelm, Bloomberg Intelligence Media Litigation Analyst, discusses breaking news on Meta. Meta Platforms Inc. agreed to pay up to $18 billion in landmark settlements to resolve allegations that the company deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to encourage compulsive use among young users. The agreement requires Meta to put new guardrails on its platforms, including restricting how much time youths can scroll and preventing them from switching off certain safety settings without parental consent. The settlement includes payments to resolve a variety of claims across multiple lawsuits, with some payments contingent upon other social media companies adopting similar platform changes and making their own payouts.

-Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail, discusses earnings from Kohl’s and Abercrombie & Fitch. Kohl’s turnaround attempt showed some progress after the retailer raised its annual earnings outlook, but it still doesn’t see sales growth this year. Abercrombie & Fitch namesake brand is expected to post net sales growth of 4.7% in the second quarter, a reversal from a 5.3% decline in the same period a year earlier.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses earnings from Bath & Body Works and Williams-Sonoma. Bath & Body Works shares fell after the company forecast year-over-year net sales declines for the third quarter. Williams-Sonoma shares drop as much as 5.7%, the most intraday since February 23, even after the home furnishing retailer reported a beat-and-raise quarter. 

-- Diana Rosero Pena, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Staples Analyst, discusses earnings from J M Smucker. JM Smucker Co. raised its full-year outlook for sales and profit, bolstered by growth in its Uncrustables sandwiches and coffee brands. Smucker is riding the growth of its hit products to offset broader weakness in the packaged-food segment as consumers become increasingly selective in their spending.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses earnings from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. sank the most on record after the Foot Locker chain it acquired last year continued to struggle, raising doubts about the broader sneaker market. The company now expects net sales to be in a range of $21.9 billion to $22.2 billion in the current fiscal year, down from its previous forecast, driven by a drop in sales at Foot Locker.

-Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses United Airlines expanding its long-haul network. United Airlines Holdings Inc. will add destinations in Europe and Asia to its network next year, using Airbus SE's new long-range narrow-body planes. The carrier will fly the A321XLR planes from its Newark hub to locations including Luxembourg and Marseille, and from San Francisco to Okinawa, Japan.

-Erin Hudson, Bloomberg Municipal Bond Reporter, discusses how private schools in the US are increasing financial aid and advertising discounts to attract students, as soaring tuition and a declining population of school-age children intensify competition. Some schools, such as Brearley and Deerfield Academy, are offering free tuition to families earning under certain income thresholds, and using sliding scales to determine tuition for higher-earning families.

-Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News Senior Equities Reporter, discusses IPOs. Fresh signs of European stock exchanges losing out to the US in attracting key IPOs have emerged this week, despite bourses and governments intensifying their efforts to win and retain listings. More money has been raised in the US so far this year in IPOs by sizeable European companies than on their home exchanges, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
