Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

- David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, discusses Tesla holding a product reveal for its long-delayed Roadster sports car, showcasing a prototype with air thrusters that performed aerial stunts. The vehicle, designed in collaboration with SpaceX, features two seats and a Cybertruck-style steer-by-wire system, and is expected to start production in 2028. The Roadster is seen as a way to bring back excitement to the Tesla brand, which has experienced consecutive annual sales declines and criticism over a stagnant product lineup.

- Anurag Rana, Senior Tech Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Apple. Shipping estimates for Apple Inc.'s first folding phone slipped into January within minutes of the company taking preorders on Friday.  Some customers on social media reported delayed delivery dates for the iPhone Duo, even after taking Apple's recommended steps to speed up the buying process. Apple retail stores ran out of launch-day stock of the iPhone Duo almost instantly after preorders began at 8 a.m. in New York.

- Robert Schiffman, Senior Tech Credit Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses CoreWeave. CoreWeave Inc. shares plunged 20% in the first three sessions of the week as its debt tumbled to levels that typically indicate distress. The cost of protecting CoreWeave bonds against default rose to the highest intraday level on record, while swaps priced in a more than 60% chance of a default within the next five years. Despite the concerns, some investors and analysts, including Jensen Huang and Deutsche Bank, expressed confidence in the company, citing its strong customer base and demand for AI computing services.

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

- Vasu Kasibhotla, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Industry Analyst, discusses CoreWeave. CoreWeave Inc.'s co-founder said the company's goal is to get an investment-grade credit rating and gain the privilege of borrowing "unlimited" pools of money. The comments sent global markets into a tailspin, with CoreWeave shares dropping 6% in premarket trading on Thursday and its debt due in 2032 being quoted at about 78 cents on the dollar.

- Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News Senior Equities Reporter, discusses Anthropic. Anthropic PBC told prospective investors its third-quarter revenue hit $16.8 billion, and the company achieved profitability in the quarter on an adjusted basis. The company is set to begin formally marketing its initial public offering as soon as the week of Nov. 9, and it’s expected to make its debut no later than the end of the year. Investors’ reactions to Anthropic’s update will be critical to the IPO process, with some indicating a fair valuation for the company is in the $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion range.

-Nathan Naidu, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Research Analyst, discusses BIoomberg Intelligence’s deep dive report of cloud gaming. Nathan discusses why cloud gaming is finally becoming credible. BI forecasts the market growing from about $9 billion in 2025 to almost $38 billion by 2035. Cloud gaming adoption stumbled on latency, lagged gameplay experience which ultimately turn gamers off. That will change with better and potentially cheaper compute. Also, gaming is becoming less tied to a physical console: titles can increasingly be streamed across phones, TVs, PCs and handhelds. 

- Gabrielle Coppola, Bloomberg Auto Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “VW Wants to Take On Wrangler and Bronco on Their Home Turf.” Volkswagen AG is investing heavily in the US market, which Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume says is "one big growth opportunity" for the company. The company plans to enter the US market for light trucks and offroad sport utility vehicles, with projects including a software venture with Rivian Automotive Inc. and the revival of heritage brand Scout. Volkswagen aims to field a midsize pickup and an offroad SUV to compete with established US franchises such as General Motors Co.'s Chevrolet Colorado and Ford Motor Co.'s Bronco.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Scarlet Fu and Stacey Vanek Smith

-Herman Chan, Senior Analyst, US Banks for Bloomberg Intelligence, recaps U.S bank earnings. Bank of America Corp.'s stock and fixed-income traders missed estimates, with bond-trading revenue falling 17% to $2.55 billion and equity trading up 10% to $2.51 billion. The company announced a $1.2 billion non-tax-deductible charge for fines related to money laundering and sanctions violations, which cut into net income by 17 cents a share.

-Matthew Palazola, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Analyst, P&C Insurance, discusses shares of Bending Spoons surging as much as 55% after Berkshire Hathaway Inc. agreed to invest an additional $330 million in the Italian technology conglomerate. The investment brings Berkshire’s stake in Bending Spoons to 4% and gives Bending Spoons more capital to pursue acquisitions. Bending Spoons will issue 10 million ordinary shares to Berkshire at $33 apiece through a private placement, according to a statement Wednesday.

-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst, discusses Netflix job cuts. Netflix Inc. is cutting 6% of its global staff, or about 1,000 positions, due to slowing growth. The cuts will be in the product, tech, legal and human-resources teams, according to an email from co Chief Executive Officers Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos. Netflix's business is "strong and growing, and we remain on track to deliver our full-year forecast," the executives wrote, despite concerns about growth and weakening subscriber engagement.

-Tamlin Bason, Bloomberg Tech Litigation Analyst, discusses Apple and OpenAI heading to court for a hearing in Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of scheming to steal proprietary information about upcoming products. Two critical issues are on the agenda: Apple's request for a court order to stop OpenAI from using allegedly stolen trade secrets and OpenAI's demand to dismiss Apple's lawsuit entirely. OpenAI has denied the allegations, arguing that Apple's lawsuit is an effort to restrain employees from leaving for a competitor and that the company seeks to cast "ordinary job interviews as acts of trade secret misappropriation."
