-Jennifer Bartashus, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst, Retail Staples & Packaged Food, recaps Walmart earnings. Walmart warned that fuel costs are squeezing the company’s bottom line and could lead to higher prices for shoppers. The company said comparable sales in US stores rose 4.1%, excluding fuel, in the latest quarter, and forecast adjusted profit for the second quarter that missed analysts’ expectations.

-Angelo Zino, Senior Vice President and Equity Analyst, at CFRA Research, recaps Nvidia earnings. Nvidia aims to rely less on giant data center operators and predicts other businesses and governments will become a bigger source of revenue for its chips and computing products to support artificial intelligence ambitions. The company faces growing competition from chipmakers trying to carve out a piece of the AI computing business, and major buyers of Nvidia's technology are developing their own in-house components.

-Christopher Ciolino, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US Machinery Analyst, recaps Deere earnings. Deere shares fell sharply as farm machinery sales stayed sluggish, raising questions on when the agriculture economy will start getting better. The company kept its profit outlook unchanged as it reported fiscal second-quarter results, with net sales in its top segment of production and precision agriculture falling 14% in the second quarter.

-Anthony Hughes, Bloomberg US Equity Capital Markets Reporter, discusses the future SpaceX IPO. SpaceX has pulled back the curtain on a business empire with ballooning losses and debt after acquiring a cash-hungry startup and pumping billions of dollars into futuristic endeavors. The company's prospectus filed for an IPO reveals concerns over whether private companies are reaching unjustified valuations, with SpaceX seeking to achieve a $2 trillion valuation from the outset.
