-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, recaps Nike earnings. Nike Inc. shares fell after the company warned that sales will decline this quarter amid persistent weakness in China and at its Converse brand. The world’s largest sportswear company expects revenue to be down in the low-single digits in the three months that started Dec. 1, a surprising turn after two straight periods of growth.

-Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, recaps FedEx earnings. FedEx Corp. offered investors a sign that Chief Executive Officer Raj Subramaniam’s turnaround plan may be worth the wait. The shipping titan raised the low end of its profit outlook for the year and reported earnings for the most recent quarter that topped Wall Street estimates, helped by volume and pricing gains in the US.

-Brian Egger, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Gaming and Lodging Analyst, recaps Carnival earnings. Carnival Corp. gave a better-than-expected profit outlook for next year and reinstated dividend payments, sending shares higher. The Miami-based company expects adjusted net income to rise about 12% in 2026, higher than the average analyst estimate of an 8.7% increase. Carnival also announced a quarterly dividend of 15 cents a share after payouts were discontinued in 2020.

- Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses TikTok being bought by a group of buyers led by Oracle Corp, with the company and ByteDance signing binding agreements to create a US joint venture.
