News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner, and we begin with earnings. After the bell, NVIDIA gave another bullish forecast for quarterly revenue, and CEO Jensen Huang said the enterprise adoption of AI agents is skyrocketing. Now, that would suggest it's not just those hyperscalers buying NVIDIA products. Corporations are as well.
We got reaction from analyst Maribel Lopez from Lopez Research.
A company like Nvidia is very highly valued. But what we can say from the fundamentals of a business is that they will be able to sell everything that they can build for at least the coming year. So whether or not we will be able to see upside in the stock,
is unknown, but whether or not they will be able to continue to perform and sell the product they said they're going to sell, I have confidence that they can do that based on the demand from the hyperscalers, and also we're finally starting to see enterprise AI inferencing demand.
That is Maribel Lopez from Lopez Research. Shares in NVIDIA were little changed in late U.S. trading. Four people on board a U.S. speedboat were shot and killed today by Cuban authorities in territorial waters off the coast of Cuba. Now, the Cuban government says members of its border guard approached the speedboat and received gunfire from those on board.
The commander of the military vessel was wounded and six others on the speedboat were wounded as well and given medical care. The New York Times reports civilians on the speedboat were attempting to get relatives out of Cuba. However, according to the state outlet Cuba Debate, those on the speedboat had intentions of infiltrating the country for terrorist purposes. Meantime, U.S.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. Coast Guard will investigate the incident to independently verify the information provided by the Cuban government.
Yeah, well, first of all, I'm not going to comment about this specific boat until we have all the information. So I just want to be clear. I'm not going to speculate about whose boat it was, what they were doing, why they were there, what actually happened. I'm not going to speculate on that because it's not smart to do that until we have all the facts.

Chapter 2: What were Nvidia's latest earnings results and forecasts?
To provide a bit of context, the U.S. has effectively imposed a naval blockade on Cuba, dramatically reducing its access to fuel. Vice President J.D. Vance announced the Trump administration would temporarily halt some Medicaid funding to Minnesota due to concerns over fraud.
Chapter 3: How is AI adoption impacting Nvidia's business?
Vance described it as an aggressive crackdown on the misuse of public funds. Here's Vance.
The problem is not going after the fraud. The problem is the fact that these programs are being defrauded to begin with. They will not exist. Our social safety net will disappear unless we take fraud more seriously.
That is Vice President JD Vance. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos will reportedly attend meetings at the White House tomorrow. Politico is reporting Sarandos will discuss his company's bid for Warner Brothers Discovery, as well as President Trump's demand that Netflix fire board member Susan Rice, a former member of the Biden administration.
Now, against this backdrop, there is a bidding war over Warner Brothers' discovery, and it's been intensifying. On Tuesday, Warner's board said a revised bid from Paramount Skydance could beat the current offer from Netflix. Separately today, Paramount Skydance reported fourth quarter sales and earnings. above Wall Street projections.
The Trump administration is imposing new sanctions on entities accusing of supporting Iran. The sanctions will focus on individuals and entities that helped Iran develop ballistic missiles as well as advanced conventional weapons, also those who helped with illicit oil sales. The sanctions precede nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran scheduled for Thursday in Geneva.
President Trump's candidate to be Surgeon General, Casey Means, testified today before the Senate Health Committee. Dr. Means is an ally of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and today she faced questions about vaccines as well as her qualifications. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor himself, asked Means if childhood vaccines are tied to rising autism among American children.
Some have been scared to vaccinate their children because they've been told incorrectly that vaccines cause autism. Do you believe that vaccines, whether individually or collectively, contribute to autism?
Senator Cassidy, you're a physician. I'm a physician. The reality is that we have an autism crisis that's increasing.
The Senate Health Committee will consider whether to advance Means' nomination, in which case it would go to a full vote on the Senate floor. And that is News When You Want It with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Doug Krisner and this is Bloomberg.
