Separately, Mandeep also discusses how Microsoft is installing the latest version of its Maia chips in data centers to power its AI software using mostly homegrown hardware.

-Niraj Patel, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Software Analyst, discusses research on how AI is influencing software sectors.

- Matthew Bloxham, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media and Tech Analyst, discusses top tech stories. OpenAI is expecting to reach or exceed $70 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year, driven largely by growth in its enterprise business.
SpaceX is acquiring a crucial swath of spectrum from Grain Management LLC to turn the company into a "major mobile carrier" and provide cell service to devices indoors from its Starlink network.

- Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses Delta Airlines earnings. Delta Air Lines Inc. reduced its full-year earnings outlook due to elevated jet fuel prices, expecting adjusted earnings of $5.10 to $5.60 per share in 2026. The airline expects to absorb approximately $6 billion in additional fuel costs this year compared with 2025, citing the war in the Middle East as a factor. Delta's Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said he expects flying demand to hold up despite higher ticket prices, noting that "the market has accepted these price points" and that travel is a priority for wealthier consumers.

- Tim Craighead, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Chief Content Officer, discusses ten companies to watch for in 4Q. From elevated crude-tanker rates and slowing pizza sales to movie screens, prediction-market rulings, soft drinks and coal, BI’s 10 Focus Ideas to Watch for 4Q highlight the catalysts that can most reshape market expectations. The research showcases BI analysts' highest-conviction, differentiated fundamental views vs. consensus, including Coca-Cola, Cosco Energy and Kalshi.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Scarlet Fu, Hema Parmar, and Charlie Pellett

-Sridhar Natarajan, Bloomberg News Chief Wall Street Correspondent, discusses how Goldman Sachs’ most senior leaders are set to unlock a special bonus that will rank among the biggest such payouts the firm has ever awarded. About 20 executives are in line for equity awards that will be finalized later this month and exceed $500 million at the current share price, with Chief Executive Officer David Solomon in line for more than $100 million.

-Ken Shea, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Consumer Goods Analyst, recaps PepsiCo earnings. PepsiCo Inc. has concerns over its North American soda business and is working to turn around its snack sales. The company now sees a measure of earnings growing between 1% and 2% for the current fiscal year, down from the previous range of 4% to 6%.

-Lily Meier, Bloomberg Retail Reporter, recaps earnings from Levis Strauss. Levi Strauss & Co. posted the slowest growth in its direct-to-consumer channels since late 2022, in part due to a marketing misstep. Revenue generated from Levi’s own stores and website grew 2% in the third quarter, with the company raising its full-year earnings outlook. She also discussed Lululemon Athletica hiring Maggie Gauger as president and chief product officer, a newly created role, starting Oct. 26. Gauger previously worked as the CEO of Gap's Athleta brand and with Lululemon's new CEO Heidi O'Neill at Nike Inc.
