Intel plunged in late trading after its revenue forecast missed analysts’ estimates, hurt by sputtering demand for PC processors and supply-chain problems with its lucrative data center components. The shares plunged in extended trading as much as 17%. The stock had gained 5.6% this year through Thursday’s close.

Meanwhile, Amazon shares dropped after the company reported greater capital spending than anticipated and the slowest growth in the core e-commerce business in three years.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

- Matthew Bloxham, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media and Tech Analyst, discusses Alphabet earnings. Alphabet Inc.'s shares fell more than 13% after the company reported disappointing search and advertising sales. The Google parent reported sales of $111.2 billion for the third quarter, falling short of analysts' projections, with ad sales from search and other channels growing at the slowest pace in five quarters. The company's future commitments to buy resources such as computing power and energy totaled $924 billion, with upcoming obligations bringing the company's total future obligations to well over $1 trillion. Matthew also recaps earnings from Microsoft.

- Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, continues the conversation on Alphabet. He also discusses deals in tech. Marvell Technology Inc. is in advanced talks to buy Lumentum Holdings Inc., a data center optics maker, in a potential all-stock transaction. A deal between the two companies would give Marvell greater control of technology critical to powering digital infrastructure and hand it more direct access to Lumentum's technology and manufacturing capacity. Separately, DoorDash Inc. agreed to buy rival Instacart in a deal that values the company at about $17 billion.

- Christopher Ciolino, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US Machinery Analyst, discusses Caterpillar earnings. Caterpillar Inc. shares slid after the company posted earnings and sales that only modestly beat expectations, adding to investor jitters about mounting challenges to the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom. The company reported adjusted earnings of $7.20 a share and revenue of $20.68 billion, and told investors that overall revenue growth in the fourth quarter will be “moderate” versus the year-earlier period.

-Nicole D'Souza, Bloomberg Intelligence Internet and Software Equity Analyst, discusses Bloomberg Intelligence’s latest dating survey. According to BI: Gen Z dating behavior is moving closer to millennials as more younger users actively date, views of dating apps improve and paid-app use increases, according to BI's second dating-app survey. Compared with last year's survey, the results ease some concerns about dating-app user growth given increased engagement from Gen Z, especially men.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney, Scarlet Fu, and John Tucker

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses news that Trian Fund Management is leading a bid for Wendy's. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: A weak 2027 consumer-spending outlook, particularly among low- and middle-income households, could limit the odds of a competing bid for Wendy's, leaving Trian's $1.4 billion, or $7.35 a share, offer as the likely path forward. Trian's bid values Wendy's at just 15.3x consensus 2026 EPS. As we wrote in August, the odds of Trian taking Wendy's private increased with the hiring of CEO Bob Wright and CFO Steven Cirulis, who led Potbelly's turnaround and eventual sale.

-Mustafa Okur, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Industrials Analyst, discusses GE Vernova agreeing to pay $9 billion to acquire Trench Group to bolster its portfolio of high-voltage power grid equipment. The purchase will be funded equally with both cash and debt, and is expected to close in late 2027, according to a statement Wednesday. The company is raising sales guidance as its customer backlog expanded to $197 billion, and now expects full-year revenue of $46.5 billion to $47.5 billion.

-Diksha Gera, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Fintech and Payments Analyst, discusses Visa reporting earnings that exceeded estimates as consumers turned to branded cards to transact. The company's payments volume increased 9% to $4.08 trillion, up from $3.73 trillion during the period last year. Visa Chief Financial Officer Chris Suh said the company's full-year 2027 adjusted net revenue growth is expected to be in the low-double-digits.

-Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion Contributor, discusses the Bloomberg Opinion column: “Too Much AI Can Stifle Innovation.” The latest way to sell artificial intelligence is with a high-tech version of the promise that corporate America last bought from Six Sigma, where companies pay for AI agents out of labor and services spending. Process management programs such as Six Sigma reduce variance in a company's routines, but a side effect is that innovation builds on what the company already knows instead of creating new approaches and drawing on new ideas. Separately, Gautam discusses Anthropic.
Anthropic PBC is cautioning investors that its advocacy for artificial intelligence safety could make the company a target of government retaliation.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney, Scarlet Fu, and Norah Mulinda

-George Ferguson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Aerospace, Defense, & Airlines Analyst, discusses Boeing cutting its full-year aircraft delivery target due to needing more time to accommodate higher production rates. The company will deliver closer to the lower end of its 787 Dreamliner guidance and come short of its target for 500 737 Max jets. Boeing's commercial airplane division posted a $697 million loss, but the company's free cash flow for the third quarter was $464 million, beating analyst estimates.

-David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, discusses General Motors plans to shift its stock listing to the Nasdaq Global Select Market from the New York Stock Exchange to position the company as a tech-forward company. The company will retain the “GM” ticker symbol when it begins trading on the Nasdaq on Nov. 17, and the new listing offers eligibility for potential inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index. The listing shift is an attempt to get investors to view the company differently, as GM has been investing in self-driving systems and software-related services with potential for revenue growth with higher margins.

-Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, recaps UPS earnings. United Parcel Service Inc. boosted its financial guidance for the year, suggesting the courier expects to benefit from high prices and resilient demand through the holiday season. The company raised its adjusted earnings guidance and reported revenue of $92.6 billion this year, up from a prior forecast of $91.2 billion. UPS Chief Executive Officer Carol Tomé said "US consumers remain resilient and the outlook for holiday demand is strong", despite warning that average daily volumes in the fourth quarter would be down year over year.

-Ken Shea, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Consumer Products Analyst, recaps Coca Cola earnings. Coca-Cola Co. raised its 2026 full-year outlook on strong international demand for soda, but notched lower-than-expected sales volume in North America. The company now sees organic sales increasing at least 5% this year, and reported strong growth in its sparkling soft drinks, with a particular boost from zero-sugar soda. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar saw a 16% increase in unit case volume sales, but sales volume in North America was flat, coming in below the average of analysts’ estimates.
