Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Anurag Rana, Senior Tech Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Apple debuting its foldable iPhone Duo, with people lining up overnight to get their hands on it first. The new device is in limited supply, with consumers placing new orders on Apple's website being offered delivery at the end of January, and some stores selling out of certain configurations within the first half hour.

-Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses OpenAI seeking to raise  around $30 billion in a fresh funding round at a valuation of $1.25 trillion, according to people familiar with the matter. The company shifted the value discussed in the talks by $150 billion, from $1.4 trillion, and fundraising discussions are ongoing, said the people.

-Ben Elliott, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Finance Analyst, discusses earnings from American Express. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: American Express' accelerating card-fee growth and moderating customer-engagement expenses show the benefit of its Platinum refresh, as higher fees can take up to two years to reach earnings while expenses are recognized faster. Card fees are central to AmEx earnings, accounting for a large portion of net income after substantial rewards and marketing costs.

-Tamlin Bason, Bloomberg Tech Litigation Analyst, discusses Infosys earnings. Infosys Ltd. lowered its annual sales forecast as clients continue to hold back on technology spending, signaling that a broad-based recovery in IT budgets could prove elusive anytime soon. Revenue will climb 1% to 2% on a constant-currency basis in the year through March 2027, down from its July guidance of 1.5% to 3%.

- Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Meta earnings. Meta Platforms Inc. shares fell after Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg told investors the company would bet even more aggressively on artificial intelligence. The company boosted its capital spending plans for the year and announced a new class of nonvoting stock that could be used to help pay for acquisitions and other expenses.

-David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, discusses Tesla earnings. Tesla Inc. pulled back its spending plans after investment last quarter trailed expectations, with capital expenditures to be around $20 billion this year. The company had been consistently short of the pace needed to hit its spending goal, particularly after a $4.73 billion outlay in the third quarter, with analysts having expected $7.95 billion on average.

-Liam Denning, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses the column: “SpaceX-Tesla Is a Strange, But Certain, Deal.” Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to examine a potential merger, with Musk noting his personal preference for a deal. SpaceX's quarterly results eclipsed Tesla's, with SpaceX reporting its first quarterly positive net income of $4.4 billion, compared to Tesla's results.

-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, recaps Comcast earnings. Comcast lost 144,000 residential broadband customers in the third quarter, more than the 133,000 losses predicted by Wall Street. The company's media operations at NBCUniversal are performing well, with Peacock reporting a 17% increase in paid subscribers and Universal seeing its highest grossing film of all time.

Meta Falls After Boosting Spending Plans for AI Bet 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/58dad29e-2f55-4c61-b1cd-b4eb0110f1d8/transcript

Meta Platforms boosted its capital spending outlook and announced plans for a new class of nonvoting stock, escalating its already-stratospheric bet on artificial intelligence. Capital expenditures will be $135 billion to $145 billion in 2026, the social-media giant said during its quarterly earnings report Wednesday, raising the bottom end of the range from $130 billion. The moves show that Meta has confidence that its spending on artificial intelligence will bear fruit. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has struggled to persuade investors to accept the company’s ballooning expenses for ambitious AI bets. But in recent months, Meta has made headway with its technology.

Meta shares rose in after-hours trading on Wednesday. They had gained about 6% this year through the close in New York.

For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech co-host.
