-Cecilia D'Anastasio, Bloomberg Video Game Reporter, discusses EBay rejecting a $56 billion takeover offer from GameStop Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen, describing the unsolicited bid as “neither credible nor attractive.” EBay’s board turned down the offer due to “uncertainty” around the financing plan, operational risks, and GameStop’s governance, among other factors.

-Lily Meier, Bloomberg Retail Reporter, discusses Under Armour. Shares sank after its guidance for this year missed Wall Street projections, weighed down by exiting a partnership with NBA star Stephen Curry and a financial hit from the conflict in the Middle East. Annual revenue will decline slightly, but it would have been little changed if the company still had the deal with Curry, the sporting-goods maker said Tuesday. Analysts on average projected a gain of about 2%. 

-Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Boeing Bets Comeback on Trump, China and an Elusive New Plane.” Boeing’s new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, must soon decide how to replace the workhorse 737 aircraft, as the company tries to regain public trust after a series of sometimes deadly accidents. He's also trying to land a big sales deal in China, with Trump's help. Both the sale and the new plane will be key to reviving the aerospace giant.

-- Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, discusses his Bloomberg Opinion column: “AI Isn’t Built for Bar Weather’s Black Swan Era.” AI models are matching or outperforming physics-based models in medium-range weather forecasting and are faster and require less computational infrastructure. These models struggle with extrapolating outside their training data, which can lead to failures when they encounter unusual weather patterns.

-Carmen Reinicke, Bloomberg Equities Reporter, discusses Cerebras Systems seeking to raise as much as $4.8 billion in its initial public offering, offering 30 million shares for $150 to $160 each.
The company's IPO has drawn orders for more than 20 times the number of shares available, and is expected to price on May 13.

-Catarina Saraiva, Bloomberg News Federal Reserve Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Powell Exits With Legacy Built on Central Bank Independence.” Jerome Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair ends on May 15. He will, however, remain a member of the Board of Governors until January 31, 2028, much to the chagrin of President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called for lower interest rates and sought to remove Powell over the Fed's monetary policy stance. Bloomberg looks at some of the highlights to his legacy.

-Sam Fazeli, Bloomberg Intelligence, Director of Research for Global Industries and Senior Pharmaceuticals Analyst, discusses the latest in the biotech sector. President Donald Trump plans to fire Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, according to a person familiar with the matter.  Repatriation flights of passengers aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak began on Sunday.
