-Ed Ludlow, BTech Anchor, discusses top tech stories. Samsung Electronics Co.’s quarterly profit surged, prompting investors to cash out of a near-150% rally this year that had baked in the AI-fueled growth.
Separately, Amazon.com Inc. is looking to raise at least $25 billion from a US dollar bond sale to fund spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.

-Ryan Vlastelica, Bloomberg Equities Reporter, discusses why the Mag 7 tech giants are no longer dominating the stock market, with their index gaining just 1.7% in 2026. Investors are now focused on the biggest beneficiaries of the wave of cash dedicated to building out AI, such as memory chipmakers like Micron Technology Inc. and Sandisk Corp.

-- Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, discusses his column: “Sam Altman Offers a Trojan Horse to America.” Sam Altman offered the US government a 5% stake in OpenAI, which he said would allow Americans to share in the benefits of artificial intelligence. The offer is seen as a way for OpenAI to "capture" the government and gain an advantage through regulatory capture, where the government becomes an owner of the company and has an economic stake in its success.
