Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses top tech stories. Microsoft Corp. and Nvidia Corp. are committing to invest up to a combined $15 billion in Anthropic PBC, in a move that ties the AI developer closer to two of the biggest backers for its rival OpenAI. 

-Drew Reading, Bloomberg Intelligence U.S Homebuilding Analyst, recaps Home Depot earnings. Home Depot cut its full-year earnings guidance, warning that some unsteady consumers are hitting the pause button on big-ticket home purchases. The company expects adjusted earnings per share to decline from a year ago, citing the overall weakness in the housing market and a lack of storms that hampered demand in certain categories.

-Matt Henriksson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Medtech Analyst, recaps Medtronic earnings. The medical device maker lifted the bottom end of its range for adjusted profit forecast for the year. The company also boosted its organic revenue outlook following better-than-expected results in the second quarter. 

-Abigail Gilmartin, Bloomberg Intelligence Athleisure and Footwear Analyst, recaps Amer Sports earnings. Amer Sports Inc. raised its full-year guidance for the third time this year after strong demand for its Salomon footwear drove quarterly sales to a record. Sales growth at the group’s two other units — including the Technical Apparel segment and the Ball & Racquet Sports unit — also surpassed expectations. As a result, overall group sales also hit a new high.
