-Ben Elliott, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Finance Analyst, discusses earnings from American Express. American Express Co. said second-quarter expenses surged 12% as it spent more on marketing to attract and retain premium cardholders. Chief Financial Officer Christophe Le Caillec anticipates marketing expenses to be up around 10% in the second half of 2026 from the same period a year earlier.
-Kunjan Sobhani, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Semiconductor Analyst, discusses Intel earnings. Intel Corp.'s quarterly report beat Wall Street estimates, but a major question remains about when the company will secure outside customers for its factories. Intel has been trying to transform itself into a foundry, but major customers for that operation have yet to materialize, with a signed external foundry customer not yet arriving.
-Dan Ives, Partner and Senior Managing Director, Analyst at Yorkville Ives & Co, discusses Intel earnings and the latest in the tech space.
-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, discusses earnings from Charter Communications. Charter Communications shares fell after the cable company reported second-quarter results that missed expectations on key metrics, including adjusted Ebitda and free cash flow.
