Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu 

-Matthew Schettenhelm, Bloomberg Intelligence Media Litigation Analyst, discusses breaking news on Meta. Meta Platforms Inc. agreed to pay up to $18 billion in landmark settlements to resolve allegations that the company deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to encourage compulsive use among young users. The agreement requires Meta to put new guardrails on its platforms, including restricting how much time youths can scroll and preventing them from switching off certain safety settings without parental consent. The settlement includes payments to resolve a variety of claims across multiple lawsuits, with some payments contingent upon other social media companies adopting similar platform changes and making their own payouts.

-Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail, discusses earnings from Kohl’s and Abercrombie & Fitch. Kohl’s turnaround attempt showed some progress after the retailer raised its annual earnings outlook, but it still doesn’t see sales growth this year. Abercrombie & Fitch namesake brand is expected to post net sales growth of 4.7% in the second quarter, a reversal from a 5.3% decline in the same period a year earlier.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses earnings from Bath & Body Works and Williams-Sonoma. Bath & Body Works shares fell after the company forecast year-over-year net sales declines for the third quarter. Williams-Sonoma shares drop as much as 5.7%, the most intraday since February 23, even after the home furnishing retailer reported a beat-and-raise quarter. 

-- Diana Rosero Pena, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Staples Analyst, discusses earnings from J M Smucker. JM Smucker Co. raised its full-year outlook for sales and profit, bolstered by growth in its Uncrustables sandwiches and coffee brands. Smucker is riding the growth of its hit products to offset broader weakness in the packaged-food segment as consumers become increasingly selective in their spending.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses earnings from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. sank the most on record after the Foot Locker chain it acquired last year continued to struggle, raising doubts about the broader sneaker market. The company now expects net sales to be in a range of $21.9 billion to $22.2 billion in the current fiscal year, down from its previous forecast, driven by a drop in sales at Foot Locker.

-Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses United Airlines expanding its long-haul network. United Airlines Holdings Inc. will add destinations in Europe and Asia to its network next year, using Airbus SE's new long-range narrow-body planes. The carrier will fly the A321XLR planes from its Newark hub to locations including Luxembourg and Marseille, and from San Francisco to Okinawa, Japan.

-Erin Hudson, Bloomberg Municipal Bond Reporter, discusses how private schools in the US are increasing financial aid and advertising discounts to attract students, as soaring tuition and a declining population of school-age children intensify competition. Some schools, such as Brearley and Deerfield Academy, are offering free tuition to families earning under certain income thresholds, and using sliding scales to determine tuition for higher-earning families.

-Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News Senior Equities Reporter, discusses IPOs. Fresh signs of European stock exchanges losing out to the US in attracting key IPOs have emerged this week, despite bourses and governments intensifying their efforts to win and retain listings. More money has been raised in the US so far this year in IPOs by sizeable European companies than on their home exchanges, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

-Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Anchor, discusses top tech stories. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. raised HK$80 billion in Hong Kong’s biggest follow-on offering to take the lead in global artificial intelligence. SoftBank Group Corp. plans a record ¥1 trillion retail bond sale to raise funds for its investment commitments to OpenAI. Tesla Inc. and at least eight other automakers are recalling millions of cars in China over safety concerns with their door handles, which have led to vehicle entrapment and multiple fatalities.

-Woo Jin Ho, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Hardware and Networking Analyst, discusses the PC market. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Dell, Lenovo and Apple's supply-chain scale and product breadth position them to defend or gain share in a sustained PC downturn.

-Beth Kowitt, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses her column: “LinkedIn Users are Rewriting the Past to Land Jobs.” Researchers at Stanford University and Revelio Labs found that nearly 20% of established US LinkedIn users edited the descriptions or titles of jobs they had left years earlier, with tech workers doing so at a rate of nearly one in three. These changes, dubbed "time travel," aren't made while memories are still fresh, but instead reflect a change in personal branding, with the median time-travel edit occurring more than four years after the user left the role.

-Paige Smith, Bloomberg Consumer Finance Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Trump’s Family Joins the Sprint to Get a National Bank Charter.” Donald Trump's family has won preliminary approval to start a national bank, riding a wave of deregulation under the Trump administration. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has approved 22 bank charter applications in the first 19 months of the president's second term, with many going to fintech and digital-asset firms.
