-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.

-Redd Brown, Bloomberg Consumer Reporter, discusses Walmart earnings. Walmart Inc.’s quarterly sales fell short of expectations, with sales at US stores open at least a year, excluding fuel, rising 2.6% in the second quarter. The company's pharmacy business was hindered by federal negotiations that led to lower drug prices, and shoppers spent less per trip during the quarter. Despite difficulties, Walmart raised its full-year guidance for sales and adjusted operating income, and the company's e-commerce sales rose, with executives saying they will continue to lower prices.

-Christopher Ciolino, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US Machinery Analyst, recaps Deere earnings. Deere & Co. shares jumped after the company said it's seeing a boost in orders for its machinery, raising hopes that the agriculture sector is poised for recovery. The company raised the lower end of its annual profit forecast, citing improvement in early-order program trends, inventories for used equipment, and adoption of its advanced technologies.

-Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the latest on Meta. Meta Platforms Inc. is spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to access artificial intelligence models through Microsoft’s Azure cloud service. Separately, Meta Platforms Inc. is being sued by a bipartisan coalition of states on allegations of deceiving the public and designing its social media platforms to encourage compulsive use among young users.

-Adam Minter, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses his Opinion column: “Walter Is and Owner Leagues Want. Here’s the Catch.” Mark Walter is selling the Los Angeles Lakers at a $12.5 billion valuation less than a year after taking control of the team. Walter's handling of the Lakers and the Los Angeles Dodgers captures the dilemma of owners who are investors, prioritizing returns over long-term stewardship of a franchise. The influx of institutional money into sports has made investors like Walter valuable, but it also creates risks, including leadership transitions and financial pressures that can impact a team's stability.
