-Anurag Rana, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Analyst, discusses why Microsoft's data-center crunch will continue for longer than the company has previously outlined, with many US data center regions experiencing shortages of physical space or servers.

-Steve Man, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Autos and Industrials Research Analyst, discusses the latest on Stellantis. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Of the Big Three automakers, Stellantis appears the most exposed to President Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on medium- and heavy-duty trucks, given its reliance on Mexican-built Ram models, while Ford and GM's US-based production largely shields them. That could prompt reshoring, as Rams generate significantly higher margins than mass-market vehicles.

-Lindsay Dutch, Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Hardlines Senior Analyst, discusses why Dick's Sporting Goods and Ulta Beauty look poised for above-average 2H sales growth among US consumer hardlines retailers, as resilient demand extends 1H momentum despite cautious outlooks.
