Brooks Running may not be nearly as large as Nike or New Balance, but that doesn’t mean its impact on the sneaker industry isn’t still strong. The company – founded in the early 1900s to sell ballet slippers and bathing shoes – continues to be the top sneaker choice for serious runners. To maintain its pole position in running, Brooks has released a host of new innovations such as the Glycerin Max Road Shoe for a pricey $200. But fending off upstarts in running such as On and to a lesser extent, Decker’s outdoor owned Hoka won’t be easy. A resurgence at struggling Nike under new CEO Elliott Hill may also pose a risk. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down with new Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan inside the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square ahead of the New York City Marathon. Sheridan reveals his vision for Brooks Running a few months into the top job and what Nike’s many stumbles have meant to the company’s growth. The long-time Brooks executive also shares what it’s like to be owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

Nvidia’s stock is once again having a monster run, up about 13% in October alone. The advance has taken the year to date appreciation for the market darling to an astounding 180%. Underneath the surface, excitement continues to build on Wall Street about Nvidia’s new AI chip dubbed Blackwell. Sector analysts are chattering about a big positive fourth quarter surprise amid the initial rush of Blackwell demand. The chorus is growing that the fourth quarter will be the start of another impressive twelve month period for Nvidia as Blackwell production ramps. With new large language models being developed at a rapid clip, the bullishness on Nvidia makes a lot of sense. One of the more upbeat analysts on the Street is Bank of America’s Vivek Arya.

The economy has been behaving rather interestingly ahead of the November presidential election. On the one hand, the jobs market continues to moderate. Yet, major companies have begun to announce fresh layoffs – blaming AI in some cases. Despite inflation cooling, gold prices have soared. The Federal Reserve has kicked off what’s likely to be a prolonged period of interest rate cuts. While that has been well-received by investors, there are pros warning the Fed’s actions are signaling a sharp economic slowdown in 2025. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with economist and one-time nominee by former President Trump to join the Federal Reserve board in 2020, Judy Shelton. Shelton thinks the Fed has backed itself into a corner by beginning to cut interest rates. At the same time, Shelton shares her concerns about the economy after the election and her outlook for gold prices.

The spirits industry has seen tremendous growth over the past decade as consumers seek out new flavors. Many of these same consumers have been open as well to spending ever higher sums of money for more premium spirits – all part of participating in the shift toward partaking in experiences rather than buying stuff.

The packaged industry has a few problems at its doorsteps entering 2025. For starters, the industry continues to be under fire from lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren for shrinking package sizes in a bid to boost profits. Secondarily, stubborn inflation continues to weigh on profit margins. Many households are struggling from paycheck to paycheck, causing them to forego buying some snacks and frozen meals. And last but not least, the rise of weight loss drugs in the mold of Ozempic is taking a toll on outlooks for food businesses – and investor sentiment. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi chats with BofA Securities Senior Food & Beverage Analyst Peter Galbo. The veteran analyst has long covered the packaged food industry, including household names such as Hormel and Campbell Soup. With margins under pressure and big food getting raked over the coals this election season, are there any reasons for investors to own these stocks? If so, what is the best bet on the future of packaged food?

The wealth management industry could look vastly different a decade from now than it does today. For one, there continues to be consolidation in the industry as the largest players in the field seek out more investable assets and bigger client pipelines. Second, the coming wealth transfer between baby boomers and their children will likely lead to more services by wealth managers to help manage the transition. After all, millennials will suddenly be tasked with putting potentially large sums of money to work to be passed down to their children. And lastly, artificial intelligence (AI) stands to permeate the industry as a low cost way to manage assets. It’s the latter element that has many advisors in the industry concerned about the investing risk AI will pose, and the risk to their jobs.

Investors are pushing aside the looming presidential election as a key risk to rip-roaring stock prices, and are beginning to focus on the here and now. And on that score, things are beginning to appear a little dicey. Middle East tensions are on a steep climb, putting upward pressure on oil prices among other commodities. That has some on the Street voicing concern about the prospect for renewed inflation. Recall, it has been a steady deceleration in inflation in recent months that allowed the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates by 50 basis points in September. Stocks have subsequently climbed as traders price in a steady dose of policy easing. But if inflation kicks back into gear, hopes more rate cuts could be dashed alongside the broader markets. StoneX chief market strategist Kathryn Rooney Vera reveals her top strategies for dealing with rising risks to the rally. Is it time to rotate into cash? Rooney Vera chats about that and more on Opening Bid with Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi.

By most indications, the Federal Reserve has engineered a soft landing for the economy. Loosely defined, that is the economy is still growing solidly in terms of jobs and wages despite a heavy dose of interest rate hikes from the Fed. Now many on Wall Street expect the economy to re-accelerate into year end and in 2025 as the Fed begins a rate cutting campaign. But are investors being too optimistic about the economy? After all, inflation continues to pressure the average household and many feel economically left behind from the past four years.

AI development seems like it’s moving at the speed of sound. If 2023 was about co-pilots, this year is shaping up to be about agents that work with humans to improve business performance. At the same time, AI chip giants Nvidia and AMD are racing to keep up with demand for their new chips. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down for an extensive chat with You.com founder Richard Socher. Socher has pretty much seen and done it all in terms of AI development. He was chief scientist at Salesforce helping to develop many of the company’s advancements in AI. At You.com, he is using AI to better drive the company’s search engine business and take the fight to Google. You.com recently raised $50 million from the likes of Nvidia and Salesforce Ventures, valuing the business close to $1 billion. What’s next in AI? Socher is the guy to pontificate on it.
