-Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, recaps CrowdStrike earnings. CrowdStrike projected quarterly sales that were roughly in line with analysts’ estimates, signaling steady demand in an era when artificial intelligence has heightened concerns over cybersecurity threats.

-Vlad Rikhter, CEO of Fencer, discusses AI and why OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said the company's rush to forge a deal with the Defense Department looked "opportunistic and sloppy". The remarks follow an announcement late Friday that Altman had reached an agreement to let the Pentagon deploy OpenAI’s artificial intelligence models in its classified network.

- Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, discusses why Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery will trigger a media reranking and strategic sector reset. Bloomberg Intelligence expects the industry to consolidate around three dominant players: Disney, Paramount and Netflix, leaving Comcast subscale and making further M&A likely.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses Bath and Body Works earnings. Bath & Body Works, said sales will decline less than analysts expect, a sign that the home products retailer’s transformation plan, which includes selling its products on Amazon.com Inc.’s web store, is starting to take shape.

- Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, discusses why the US-led attack on Iran heightens near-term risk for e-commerce, threatening both shipping reliability and consumer demand.

- Kirsten Fontenrose, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, discusses the latest out of the Middle East. The US-Israeli war on Iran reverberated across the region for a fourth day, with oil and gas prices surging and the world adjusting to a conflict that President Donald Trump has said could last for weeks.

- Nathan Dean, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst, discusses why congressional war powers votes aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from further military action in Iran will likely fail.

Market news and in-depth company research.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Alexis Christoforous and Norah Mulinda

- Ellen Wald, President of Transversal Consulting discusses the impact of the Iran strikes on oil markets. Oil surged as the first impacts of the war in the Middle East began to be felt, with a near halt to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and disruption at a big refinery in Saudi Arabia.

- Dr Ariel Cohen, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, discusses the latest on Iran. US President Donald Trump said the bombing campaign against Iran could last for weeks and called on the nation’s leaders to capitulate, while the Islamic Republic’s security chief ruled out negotiations.

- Wayne Sanders, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Weapons Analyst, discusses how the U.S, Israel strikes on Iran will impact defense platforms. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: US defense primes Lockheed, RTX and Northrop sit at the center of the air, missile-defense and strike capabilities underscored by the US-Israel campaign in Iran. The operation reinforces the primacy of air and sea assets, with crewed platforms retaining clear relevance.

- Edward Price, Non-Resident Senior Fellow at NYU, discusses the latest in the Middle East. Senior Senate Democrat Mark Warner said Donald Trump’s rationale for the US-Israeli attack on Iran isn’t convincing and the US president owes an explanation to the families of American service members killed in action.
