- Ryan Vlastelica, Bloomberg Equities Reporter, discusses earnings from Cisco Systems.  Cisco Systems  jumped by the most in more than 14 years after the company delivered a better-than-anticipated sales forecast and announced plans to cut thousands of jobs, an attempt to focus on the fast-growing AI market.

- Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, discusses the Trump/Xi summit and how it impacts tech. President Trump has landed in China for the much anticipated summit with Xi where the two are scheduled to meet on Thursday and Friday, arriving at a critical moment for the tech cycle as geopolitics, chip export policy, and surging demand for compute are colliding, making the outcome critical for Nvidia, hyperscalers, and the greater tech ecosystem.

- Jody Lurie, Bloomberg Intelligence Credit Analyst, discusses the latest Bloomberg Intelligence travel survey. According to BI: At 65%, personal-safety concerns peaked in BI's US travel survey conducted April 17-28 amid the Middle East conflict, US policies towards visas and other geopolitical tensions. This may be affecting how much people travel internationally, as seen in a decline in respondents from the survey conducted in November.

-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.
