-Diana Rosero Pena, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Staples Analyst, discusses Chewy earnings and Bloomberg Intelligence’s outlook for pets. Chewy Inc. executives expect consumer spending to remain pressured through the end of the year, with no "meaningful consumer recovery" expected. Chewy narrowed its full-year sales and profitability outlook, expecting net sales between $13.46 billion and $13.57 billion and an adjusted Ebitda margin of 6.7% to 6.8%.

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses earnings from Jersey Mike’s. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Jersey Mike's can exceed its 2H same-store sales guidance of 3-4% growth as greater marketing spending, increased digital advertising, more loyalty members and the return of Mike's Hot Italian Sub boost transactions. Management said that comparable sales are up more than 3% quarter to date. We expect greater ad spending in late 3Q and 4Q, and more placements inside NFL games to boost results.

-Randall Williams, Bloomberg Senior Reporter, discusses top business stories. The NFL season kicks off on Wednesday night, with a new international game scheduled for Thursday, and the league has ambitions to add more games and international matchups. LIV Golf filed for bankruptcy protection and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has agreed to provide $49.6 million in debtor-in-possession financing.

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.
