Warner Bros. Discovery 'hopeful' for NBA deal
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is reportedly at risk of losing NBA media rights to competitor NBCUniversal. Yahoo Finance's Alexandra Canal reports more on the story and what it could mean for Warner Bros. Discovery's future. In the company's earnings call, CEO David Zaslav said, "We've enjoyed a strong partnership with the NBA for almost four decades. We're in continuing conversations with them now, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to reach an agreement that makes sense for both sides." NBCUniversal is reportedly willing to offer more than double what Warner Bros. Discovery currently pays for the rights. Zaslav added that the company is able to match third-party offers before the NBA enters into any agreements and is prepared for the potential outcomes that could result in the process. Warner Bros. Discovery is currently facing a decline in its linear networks, with advertising revenue falling 11% year-over-year in the quarter. The company could face detrimental outcomes if NBC outbids it for NBA rights. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

The tech giants to benefit from AI bullishness: Strategist
Chip company Arm Holdings' (ARM) disappointing 2025 forecast could be signaling slowdowns in AI demands. Big Tech companies like Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) have all announced major investments in building out their AI infrastructures. While the plans show confidence in the future, will they actually pay off? Bokeh Capital Partners Founder and Chief Investment Officer Kimberly Forrest joins Morning Brief to give insight into the AI sector and discuss which companies are in the best position to actually benefit from AI investments. When asked about when investors will see real payoffs from these big investments from AI, Forrest says: "Building out the data center is part of it, then you're going to have companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon (AMZN), and everybody else is going to pile in and start using the generative AI to maybe increase productivity... And I would look for who do you think is most likely to benefit from using generative AI. And we've just mentioned them, right? Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, and to me Microsoft is really probably [in] the best position because they'll get people to actually pay for it, not just advertising dollars."
