- George Ferguson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Aerospace, Defense, & Airlines Analyst, discusses GE Aerospace agreeing to buy castings manufacturer Consolidated Precision Products from Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners for $11.75 billion. The deal will significantly expand the jet-engine manufacturer’s capacity for critical components and is expected to close in the second half of 2027. GE Aerospace aims to boost capacity to help fulfill surging demand for new jet engines and spare parts needed by airlines and components for the defense industry.
- Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses top tech stories. Anthropic PBC has decided against acquiring artificial intelligence startup Decart AI, people familiar with the matter said. Separately, Qualcomm Inc. said it signed up Amazon.com Inc. as a data center chip customer in a deal that will span "multiple generations" and gives Amazon the right to acquire as much as $4 billion in shares.
-Derek Mogull, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Analyst, discusses his research: “AI Storage Model Shows 5x Spending Growth by 2030.” According to Bloomberg Intelligence: AI is set to expand storage spending almost 5x by 2030, with data-center revenue rising about 8x and inference driving roughly 85% of incremental data-center NAND flash bit growth. This marks a structural break from storage's mature, cyclical past: AI lifts bit growth into the mid-20s, raises value per bit and reinforces the storage hierarchy, most directly benefiting Seagate, Western Digital, SanDisk, Kioxia and Everpure.
-Hema Parmer, Bloomberg Hedge Fund Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Milennium Nears $100 Billion in New Era for Giant Hedge Funds.” Millennium Management's assets have hit $97 billion, more than double what the firm oversaw six years ago, and is speeding toward $100 billion. The firm's founder, Izzy Englander, is ramping up an unusual model of seeding dozens of smaller would-be rivals to give his firm more capacity to take on investor cash, with $22 billion of new commitments set to close on Oct. 1.

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.
