Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec break down earnings from Tesla, Microsoft and Meta as heard live on Bloomberg Radio and on YouTube.

Microsoft's spending surged to a record high and cloud sales growth slowed, sending the shares down amid investor concerns that it could take longer than expected for the company’s AI investments to pay off. Microsoft shares fell about 5% in extended trading after closing at $481.63 in New York.

Meta Platforms topped projections for quarterly revenue and gave a strong forecast for the current period, boosted by a robust online advertising business that is making it possible for the company to invest in artificial intelligence at record levels this year. The social-media company’s shares jumped more than 11% in extended trading. Meta on Wednesday said first-quarter sales will be $53.5 billion to $56.5 billion, beating the $51.3 billion average analyst estimate.

And Tesla plans to invest about $2 billion into xAI, giving Elon Musk’s artificial-intelligence startup a cash infusion despite a shareholder vote last year that failed to win approval. Its shares rose in extended trading.
Carol and Tim speak with:
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Technology Analyst Anurag Rana
James Cakmak, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Clockwise Capital
Bloomberg News Senior Technology Reporter Kurt Wagner
Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Ed Ludlow
Bloomberg Intelligence Global Autos and Industrials Research Manager Steve Man

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses  Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol delivering the best evidence yet that his turnaround plan is taking hold, with the coffee chain posting unexpectedly strong growth and a solid outlook for the rest of the year.

-John Butler, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Telecom Analyst, discusses AT&T earnings. AT&T  reported fourth-quarter profit and revenue that beat analysts’ estimates, buoyed by customers who subscribed to more than one connectivity service. The company added more than half a million fixed and mobile internet subscribers in the quarter.

-Caroline Hyde, BTech Co-Anchor, discusses top tech stories. ASML posted record orders in the fourth quarter, even as the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker’s executives faced questions during a call with analysts about whether it can sustain its artificial intelligence-fueled momentum.  Amazon.com Inc. is cutting 16,000 corporate jobs worldwide in an effort to remove layers of bureaucracy and “increase ownership,” becoming the latest company to target managers for layoffs in recent years.  SoftBank Group Corp. is in discussions to invest as much as $30 billion more in OpenAI, a sharp increase in commitment that reflects founder Masayoshi Son’s ambitions to play a central role in developing artificial intelligence.

-Andrea Felsted, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses LVMH. -Sales at LVMH’s key fashion unit fell over the holiday season as the Louis Vuitton owner continued to suffer from sluggish demand. Organic sales at the fashion and leather goods division fell 3% in the fourth quarter, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE said in a statement Tuesday. Analysts had expected a drop of 2.94%.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu

- Steve Man, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Autos and Industrials Analyst, discusses GM earnings. General Motors Co. expects profits to grow as much as $2 billion this year and plans to return more of that to shareholders with a higher dividend and buybacks.

- Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses earnings from airlines and Boeing. American Airlines Group Inc. reported fourth-quarter results that missed analyst estimates. JetBlue Airways Corp. reported a wider loss than expected last quarter. Boeing Co. generated cash for a second straight quarter and reported a 57% bump in sales during the final three months of 2025.

- Thomas Black, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses UPS earnings. United Parcel Service Inc. expects to cut as many as 30,000 positions this year to rein in costs and boost profitability.

-Janet Lorin, Bloomberg Higher Education Finance Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Yale’s Endowment Model Falters at Tough Moment for Universities.” Some of the wealthiest, including those that benefited most from the Yale model, are on the hook for hundreds of millions in new endowment taxes from a hostile government, led by President Donald Trump, who also withheld billions in federal funding for research—their lifeblood. Now, universities are dumping private equity funds at discounts following years of poor returns, while public stocks have outperformed the asset class.
