Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

- David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, discusses Tesla sales. Tesla Inc. posted one of its worst sales quarters in years, missing Wall Street’s expectations, as the carmaker struggles to turn around its core business and navigate an increasingly challenged electric-vehicle market.
Separately, Stellantis is discussing options for building electric vehicles in Canada with its Chinese partner, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co. The talks are in an early stage and focused on an idled Stellantis assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, with the possibility of building cars in partnership with Leapmotor.

- Brody Ford, Bloomberg Technology Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story “Microsoft CFO’s AI Spending Runs Up Against Tech Bubble Fears.”
Description:
Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood must decide how much to spend on artificial intelligence without starving other parts of the company or alarming Wall Street. In this executive profile, Bloomberg exclusively reports that Hood made the call to pause data center construction last year, a controversial decision some say left the company without enough computing power for its AI services.

- Robert Schiffman, Senior Tech Credit Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses how Intel’s turnaround is advancing as spending is cut.
According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Intel's new CEO is stabilizing the company's credit profile, refocusing core-product franchises and cutting costs. It's still a work in progress, but reductions in operating expenses and capital spending are paying off, enabling Intel to buy back a $14.2 billion stake in its Ireland fabrication joint venture without jeopardizing its investment grade profile.
