-Randall Williams, Bloomberg Business of Sports Reporter, discusses UEFA’s 55 member nations resolving to boycott FIFA tournaments if President Gianni Infantino proceeds with plans to sell World Cup stakes to private investors. UEFA said in a statement that “The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product,” and that no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive.

- David Kirkpatrick, Founder of Techonomy, recaps tech earnings. Meta Platforms Inc. gave a disappointing quarterly revenue forecast, stepping up pressure on Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg to allay investor concerns that the company isn’t swiftly benefiting from its massive outlay on artificial intelligence. Separately, Microsoft shares soared after the company reported the fastest cloud growth in four years, with Azure cloud revenue rising 43% during the fiscal fourth quarter.

-Shiv Verma, Robinhood Chief Financial Officer, discusses Robinhood earnings. Robinhood's July trading activity tracking near 2Q's record average supports early 3Q durability of elevated retail engagement across equities, options and prediction markets.

-Redd Brown, Bloomberg Consumer Reporter, discusses earnings from Starbucks and Chipotle. Starbucks and Chipotle Mexican Grill raised their guidance after stronger-than-expected quarters, with sales bolstered by new menu items and revamped loyalty programs.

-Craig Trudell, Bloomberg Managing Editor of Global Business Coverage, recaps Ford earnings. Ford Motor raised its profit outlook for the second time this year as consumers continue to buy the automaker’s high-margin sport-utility vehicles. The company's quarterly earnings were better than expected, and it now expects to earn as much as $11 billion before interest and taxes this year, up from its prior forecast.

-Diksha Gera, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Fintech and Payments Analyst, recaps Visa earnings. Visa reported a fiscal third-quarter profit that beat Wall Street estimates, with adjusted net income rising 8% from a year earlier to $6.3 billion. The company will eliminate roughly 2,600 jobs, affecting about 7% of the workforce, as part of an effort to operate more efficiently and focus on its biggest opportunities for growth.

-Andrea Felsted, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses earnings from Hermes and Kering. Shares of Hermès International and Kering diverged by a record margin on Wednesday, marking a dramatic reversal in fortunes for the two luxury goods makers. Hermès shares slumped by as much as 11% to the lowest level since January 2023, after the company's Chief Financial Officer said product price hikes for 2027 would be smaller than this year.

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses why Nike and Adidas World Cup sales can last beyond the event. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Nike and Adidas can turn World Cup kit dominance into post-tournament soccer gains, with Adidas' €1.5 billion in event sales, topping its initial €1 billion expectation, and the Spain-Argentina final all-Adidas matchup reinforcing demand.
