-Craig Trudell, Bloomberg Managing Editor of Global Business Coverage, discusses Tesla deliveries. Tesla Inc. reported better-than-expected sales for the third quarter, delivering 486,532 vehicles worldwide in the period. The results are a boon for Tesla following a period of declining auto sales and a lagging stock, with competition in the crucial China market and sluggish demand in the US pressuring the company.

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Nike earnings. Nike Inc. is cutting jobs and overhauling the business as results deteriorate, with a restructuring plan expected to save $2.5 billion over the next five years. The company announced weaker-than-expected sales for the latest quarter and a disappointing outlook for this fiscal year, with a high-single-digit revenue decline expected.

-Matthew Bloxham, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media and Tech Analyst, discusses top tech stories. Anthropic PBC is seeking to go public as soon as the middle of November, with formal marketing for its IPO potentially starting the week of Nov. 9. The company still expects to make its debut no later than the end of the year, despite deliberations being ongoing and the timeline potentially shifting.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines & Beauty Retail Senior Analyst, discusses Mattel takeover interest. Mattel Inc. has drawn takeover interest from Authentic Brands Group, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Authentic has been discussing an offer that could value Mattel at more than $20 a share, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

Meta Platforms boosted its capital spending outlook and announced plans for a new class of nonvoting stock, escalating its already-stratospheric bet on artificial intelligence. Capital expenditures will be $135 billion to $145 billion in 2026, the social-media giant said during its quarterly earnings report Wednesday, raising the bottom end of the range from $130 billion. The moves show that Meta has confidence that its spending on artificial intelligence will bear fruit. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has struggled to persuade investors to accept the company’s ballooning expenses for ambitious AI bets. But in recent months, Meta has made headway with its technology. Meta shares rose in after-hours trading on Wednesday. They had gained about 6% this year through the close in New York.
