Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Scarlet Fu and Stacey Vanek Smith

-Herman Chan, Senior Analyst, US Banks for Bloomberg Intelligence, recaps U.S bank earnings. Bank of America Corp.'s stock and fixed-income traders missed estimates, with bond-trading revenue falling 17% to $2.55 billion and equity trading up 10% to $2.51 billion. The company announced a $1.2 billion non-tax-deductible charge for fines related to money laundering and sanctions violations, which cut into net income by 17 cents a share.

-Matthew Palazola, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Analyst, P&C Insurance, discusses shares of Bending Spoons surging as much as 55% after Berkshire Hathaway Inc. agreed to invest an additional $330 million in the Italian technology conglomerate. The investment brings Berkshire’s stake in Bending Spoons to 4% and gives Bending Spoons more capital to pursue acquisitions. Bending Spoons will issue 10 million ordinary shares to Berkshire at $33 apiece through a private placement, according to a statement Wednesday.

-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst, discusses Netflix job cuts. Netflix Inc. is cutting 6% of its global staff, or about 1,000 positions, due to slowing growth. The cuts will be in the product, tech, legal and human-resources teams, according to an email from co Chief Executive Officers Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos. Netflix's business is "strong and growing, and we remain on track to deliver our full-year forecast," the executives wrote, despite concerns about growth and weakening subscriber engagement.

-Tamlin Bason, Bloomberg Tech Litigation Analyst, discusses Apple and OpenAI heading to court for a hearing in Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of scheming to steal proprietary information about upcoming products. Two critical issues are on the agenda: Apple's request for a court order to stop OpenAI from using allegedly stolen trade secrets and OpenAI's demand to dismiss Apple's lawsuit entirely. OpenAI has denied the allegations, arguing that Apple's lawsuit is an effort to restrain employees from leaving for a competitor and that the company seeks to cast "ordinary job interviews as acts of trade secret misappropriation."
