Tesla beat Wall Street’s profit expectations to start the year as the automaker said demand for its electric vehicles is rebounding around the globe, hinting at a possible recovery for its long-struggling automotive business.

Adjusted earnings rose to 41 cents a share in the first quarter, the company said Wednesday in a statement, higher than the 34-cent average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. It’s the second straight quarter Tesla’s earnings have exceeded expectations.

Tesla said it “saw continued growth in demand for our vehicles” in parts of Asia-Pacific and South America, along with a rebound in North America and the Europe-Middle East region. The surprisingly optimistic comments come several weeks after the automaker reported one of its worst quarters of auto sales in years.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu 

- Anurag Rana, Senior Technology Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, joins to discuss the latest tech headlines. Accenture Plc said it’s expecting to reel in less revenue in the coming months, as artificial intelligence upends the consulting services industry and clients paused business due to the conflict in the Middle East. The company reported a 2% drop in new bookings for the quarter ended May 31, according to a statement Thursday. Accenture shares tumbled 20% in early trading in New York, marking their worst one-day drop on record. 

- Wayne Sanders, Senior Defense Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, examines the next steps in US-Iran relations as an interim peace deal is starting to take effect, with focus shifting to the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and a complex 60-day negotiating period over Tehran’s nuclear program. 

- Ira Jersey, Chief US Interest Rate Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses what Wednesday’s FOMC meeting and remarks from Chair Kevin Warsh signal about the Fed’s policy path ahead. Traders piled into betting on interest-rate hikes as soon as next month after Warsh used his debut press conference as Federal Reserve chairman to make clear the central bank won’t tolerate high inflation. 

- Ann Miletti, Head of Equity Investments & Chief Diversity Officer at Allspring Global Investments, assess the importance of portfolio diversification and earnings fundamentals as the next phase of AI implementation spurs record capex spending.

Antonio Neri, HPE CEO, discusses the latest company news. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. introduced new networking gear for artificial intelligence data centers, building on the products it acquired from Juniper Networks. HPE unveiled networking switches that are specialized for inferencing, or running AI workloads, and said Siemens Energy AG will use a collection of AI technologies it has built with Nvidia Corp. 
Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the latest at SpaceX and OpenAI. SpaceX shares declined for the first time since its record initial public offering, snapping a three-day rally that vaulted it past Amazon.com Inc. as the world’s fifth-largest stock. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: OpenAI’s losses of about $34 billion, coupled with the lowering of its token pricing for its latest model, show the company’s focus on expanding beyond consumer and into enterprise use cases, including coding-agent and LLM APIs, where Anthropic and Cursor (bought by SpaceX) have higher market share. 
Michael Dean, Bloomberg Intelligence Head of Global Autos, discusses BMW saying its profit margin could dwindle to as little as 1% this year due to weakening Chinese demand and fallout from the Middle East conflict. The company plans additional cost savings beyond those announced this year, which will weigh on its business during the second half of the year. 
Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Bloomberg Intelligence’s deep dive into E-Commerce. According to BI: Artificial intelligence is pushing US e-commerce into its next growth phase, with sales topping $2 trillion next year and nearing $2.6 trillion by 2030, despite pressure from tariffs and inflation. Amazon.com remains dominant, but Walmart, EBay, Wayfair, Temu, Shein, Etsy and Shopify-enabled merchants are widening competition through fulfillment, product data and agent-led shopping.

-Seth Fiegerman, Bloomberg AI Team Leader, discusses SpaceX agreeing to take over Cursor in a deal that values the startup at $60 billion, part of Elon Musk's efforts to catch up with rivals on coding tools. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter, with Cursor investors having the right to receive SpaceX stock based on the implied $60 billion equity value of the startup.

-Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, discusses his Bloomberg Opinion column: “Trillionaires and Republics Will Be a Toxic Mix.” SpaceX’s initial public offering made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, giving him absolute power. A mega-billionaire has resources that approach or exceed those of many nation-states and can convert their wealth into power. The exchange rate between wealth and power has never been so favorable, with some individuals spending large sums on presidential elections and having significant influence over government decisions.

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses how AI is pushing US e-commerce into a new growth phase. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Amazon.com's Prime Day will be an early test of whether AI-driven shopping and bargain hunting can coexist. As inflation, higher gas prices and tariff-related costs keep consumers focused on value, Bloomberg Intelligence's fifth annual proprietary survey suggests shoppers are entering the June 23-26 event seeking deals with convenience and delivery speed defining Prime's core appeal.

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses Yum! Brands selling its Pizza Hut division for $2.7 billion to focus on its KFC and Taco Bell chains. Private equity firm LongRange Capital will acquire Pizza Hut excluding China for $1.5 billion, and Yum China Holdings Inc. will buy the rest for $1.2 billion.
