- Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Lyft and Airbnb earnings. Lyft Inc. reported profit that fell short of Wall Street’s estimates due to spending on international expansion and higher-end offerings. Airbnb boosted its annual forecast due to robust bookings in the Americas, and expects annual revenue growth to "accelerate to low- to mid-teens".

--Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses his outlook for Texas Roadhouse and U.S Foods, along with Wendy’s earnings. Wendy’s reported adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter that beat the average analyst estimate.

-Brian Cox, Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky at Bacardi LTD, on why luxury brands are increasingly aligning themselves with golf culture right now. Not long ago, golf was fading. Membership fees were sky-high, and younger audiences weren’t buying in. By the late 2000’s, the sport had lost nearly 6.8 million players, especially younger generations who saw it as expensive, slow, and out of touch. The 2008 financial crisis only deepened the downturn, prompting widespread course closures and a sharp drop in memberships as golf came to feel like a luxury many could no longer afford. Culturally, golf struggled to stay relevant, overshadowed by faster-paced, more inclusive sports, and weighed down by an image of exclusivity and outdated tradition.

-- Sarah Frier, Bloomberg Technology Managing Editor, discusses Intel. after Lip-Bu Tan became CEO of Intel Corp., the company's shares initially went nowhere, but have since risen to a record after Tan forged ties with tech titans and won over US President Donald Trump. Tan has spent more time outside the company than inside and has not widely explained his plan to fix products and manufacturing to employees, who say the company still has fundamental issues to address.
