New Zealand sharemarket dips as F&P Healthcare, Infratil shares fall
New Zealand's largest stock, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, fell for a second day after it hosted an investor day in Melbourne, although Goodson said there was no real news for Kiwi investors. F&P shares fell 28c to $36.41, after 328,025 shares changed hands, worth $11,918,976.27. Meanwhile, Infratil shares fell 2.45% to $11.17. 'The other key name in the index was down. In the Australian close last night Infratil entered the ASX 200 index, so buying in anticipation of that may now be absent and that could perhaps explain that decline,' Goodson said. Elsewhere, Sky TV continued its positive momentum following the news it had agreed to purchase TV3 for $1 on a cash-free, debt-free basis. Today, analysts at fund manager Octagon said the business will be worth 35c per share to its new owner – or just over $48m. Sky TV's share price climbed 6c to $3.12. 'It's hardly operating in growth markets. By bolting on a business like that and hopefully extracting some cost and revenue synergies in the future, they may be able to stem some of the structural pressures that they face,' Goodson said. He also pointed out the Colonial Motor Company, one of New Zealand's longest-listed companies. It had $125,212.55 worth of shares trade on light volume. The business, which owns a number of Ford dealerships and franchises around the country, released a guidance upgrade to its second-half results, saying it is shaping to contribute to a more positive outcome for the full-year trading profit after tax than was anticipated in February. 'It's not a reflection of the overall economic environment, rather pockets of the wider vehicle market. I think it's pointing to what's becoming fairly clear in this economy, which is that large parts of the rural sector are having a pretty good year or two, but that's yet filtering through to town,' Goodson said. Global markets The Nasdaq retreated from a record Tuesday on a mixed day for stocks as markets looked ahead to upcoming earnings reports from Google parent Alphabet and Tesla. The two reports on Wednesday are the first of Wall Street's 'Magnificent Seven' equities to report this season. The group was mixed, with drops in Nvidia and other semiconductor equities consistent with profit-taking after earlier gains, analysts said. The tech-rich Nasdaq fell 0.4% to 20,892.69, snapping a six-day streak of record high finishes. But the broad-based S&P 500 edged up 0.1% to 6309.62, finishing at a record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.4% to 44,502.44. Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management described the market as in a 'wait-and-see' mode ahead of earnings from the most influential equities. – Additional reporting AFP Tom Raynel is a multimedia business journalist for the Herald, covering small business, retail and tourism.

Childhood 2.0: AI Friends And Cyberbullying On The Digital Playground
Childhood today is radically different, and online activities blend into real life shockingly fast. Parents now play a frontline role in keeping their families safe as digital life starts earlier and earlier, said Mark Gorrie, Norton Managing Director APAC and father of two. Norton study shows 1 in 8 Kiwi parents report cyberbullying; 23% say kids turn to AI for emotional support Auckland, 23 July, 2025 – Norton, a global leader in consumer Cyber Safety and part of Gen (NASDAQ: GEN), released its 2025 Norton Cyber Safety Insights Report: Connected Kids, offering a comprehensive look at the Cyber Safety challenges parents of school aged children are up against. The report reveals that 1 in 8 parents* (13%) say their children have been victims of cyberbullying and another 23% say their child is turning to AI for companionship. As children in New Zealand are going digital earlier than ever, with many getting their first phone by age 12 according to the report, parents are navigating uncharted territory. The report highlights the urgent need to equip Kiwi families with resources to keep kids safe in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. 'Childhood today is radically different, and online activities blend into real life shockingly fast. Parents now play a frontline role in keeping their families safe as digital life starts earlier and earlier,' said Mark Gorrie, Norton Managing Director APAC and father of two. 'Our study reveals that on average, Kiwi adults today were 24 years old when they got their first mobile phone. But the generational gap is striking. Gen Z got theirs at just 14, Millennials at 16, Gen X at 26, and Boomers at 41. Children of parents in this study are getting their first mobile even earlier, with an average age of 12. With devices landing in kids' hands younger than ever, parents need both more support and a greater commitment to navigating the realities of raising digitally connected kids.' From Offline to Cyber Bullying While school yard bullying is nothing new, in 2025, it doesn't stop when the school bell rings. According to the report, nearly half (41%) of parents of cyberbullying victims say the perpetrator was a classmate or peer. Parents say this trolling and harassment spans numerous platforms. Visual-first social media platforms lead the charge – Snapchat and Instagram (both 33%), followed by Facebook (30%), and TikTok (28%). But not all cyberbullying is pervasive beyond social media. One in four parents (26%) say their child has been bullied via text messages. Strikingly, almost half (46%) of Kiwi parents say they knew their child was being cyberbullied before their child confided in them. This suggests many parents are picking up on warning signs, but awareness alone isn't enough. Over a quarter of parents (28%) admit they still haven't spoken with their children about staying safe online, leaving them underprepared when risks escalate. Managing screen time remains a constant struggle. Although nearly three-quarters of Kiwi parents try to enforce limits (72%), tech-savvy kids often find ways around them: 21% say their child has bypassed parental controls and admitted it to them. Another 31% discovered their child had secretly got around the restrictions without saying a word. Parents also report catching their children engaging in risky online behaviours – from staying up late on devices (31%) to accessing blocked sites (10%), sharing private information with strangers (10%), watching explicit content (9%), or even cyberbullying others (4%). Making AI Friends Another crucial concern addressed in the report is the growing role of AI in children's digital lives. For some children, AI isn't just a tool anymore; it's becoming a companion. Almost a quarter of Kiwi parents (23%) say their children use AI for companionship and emotional support. Concerns about AI's unintended effects remain high, with 34% saying AI isn't beneficial for children's learning and creativity. However, just like the gap in online safety talks, conversations about AI risks aren't happening enough at home. Only 41% of Kiwi parents say they've talked to their kids about AI dangers like deepfakes and misinformation. 'As AI-powered tools and AI companions become more common, parents face a bigger task than they may realise. Our study shows that around one in three Kiwi parents (30%) already take the right approach by regularly checking their child's devices – reviewing app usage, settings, and installed apps. It's a habit more Kiwi families should adopt to help guide children safely in the digital world.' says Gorrie. 5 Tips to Help Keep Kids Safer in a Connected World The Connected Kids Report underscores that, as children engage with technology earlier and more frequently, it's essential for parents to stay proactive, informed, and involved. Norton recommends the following steps to help create a safer and more supportive digital experience for kids: Start the Conversation Early Don't wait until there's a problem – talk to your children about online behaviour, safety, and kindness from the moment they start using devices. Use Parental Control Tools Thoughtfully Take advantage of built-in device settings and trusted parental control tools to set screen time limits, block inappropriate content, and monitor online activity. Norton solutions, such as Norton Family with features like School Time, can help parents create healthy digital boundaries while fostering trust and transparency. Teach Kids to Recognise Red Flags Help children understand the signs of cyberbullying, scams, AI manipulation, or predatory behaviour, and empower them to speak up if something feels off. Model Healthy Tech Use Kids mirror adult behaviour. Set a positive example by putting devices down during family time, managing your own screen use, and showing how to engage responsibly online. Stay Involved, Stay Curious Regularly check in with your child about what they're doing online. Ask questions, explore apps together, and keep learning about new trends – whether it's AI chatbots or the latest social media platform. The study was conducted online within New Zealand by Dynata on behalf of Gen from 24 April to 9 May 2025 among 1,001 adults ages 18 and older. Data are weighted where necessary by age, gender, and region, to be nationally representative. Within this report, mentions of parents refer to parents with children younger than 18 years old.

ROLLER Leverages Datadog To Cut Cloud Costs And Improve Reliability
Press Release – Datadog ROLLER is the software behind more than 2,200 attraction businesses, including Sky Zone Trampoline Parks, Scenic World and Chipmunks Playland & Caf. Founded in Melbourne, the company now operates in 35 countries. The software behind over 2,200 attractions uses Datadog to help drive 24×7 availability through comprehensive cloud observability and security Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced ROLLER, an Australian-founded software company for attractions, has streamlined operations, improved availability, and reduced cloud infrastructure costs using the Datadog platform. ROLLER is the software behind more than 2,200 attraction businesses, including Sky Zone Trampoline Parks, Scenic World and Chipmunks Playland & Café. Founded in Melbourne, the company now operates in 35 countries, supports millions of guest experiences, and processes more than AU$450 million in transactions per month. 'We provide a trusted mission-critical system for attractions all over the world,' says Sean Fernandez, CIO at ROLLER. 'It's imperative that our systems remain highly available so our customers can continue to conduct transactions and provide a modern digital experience visitors expect. That's how we landed on Datadog. It's a system of intelligence that enables our small team to continue to support thousands of attractions businesses worldwide.' Consolidating multiple tools, the move to Datadog provided ROLLER with a unified observability and security platform, breaking down siloes and providing crucial context into potential application performance issues that may impede bookings and the overall customer experience. ROLLER can now detect, understand and resolve problems quickly, conduct more accurate troubleshooting, manage logs, address application vulnerabilities, and ensure it maintains service level agreements (SLAs) with customers. Moreover, Datadog has enabled ROLLER to reach its goal of 24×7 availability. Alerts worked correctly from day one of implementation, and previous pain points, such as log aggregation and correlation, have become easy to manage. The ability to correlate events across ROLLER's entire technology stack has drastically improved incident response times. The mean time to remediation (MTTR) is down by 99 per cent – with issues being resolved in 15 minutes when it previously could take three days. 'When we have an issue, the most useful thing is not just to look at what's broken – it's to look at the entire stack, because you'll always end up missing the forest for the trees with the number of events that can stem from one single issue,' said Fernandez. 'Datadog allows us to observe our whole environment with a single pane of glass, and the platform correlates everything in 30 seconds versus manually trawling through multiple systems, which would previously take hours at best.' Derisking cloud modernisation and cutting costs As ROLLER scaled, rising cloud compute costs coincided with a need to modernise its cloud infrastructure. Datadog supported ROLLER's modernisation initiatives across infrastructure, continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD). ROLLER reduced the time to spin up new compute capacity by 77 per cent and reduced compute costs by around 60 per cent. Using Datadog to execute these modernisation initiatives enabled the team to improve operational efficiency while delivering long-term growth. 'Datadog derisked taking modernisation approaches on AWS,' says Fernandez. 'Observability is about reducing risk. You can take a much bigger risk building infrastructure if you have a really good observability platform over the top. Datadog helped us understand whether our customers were still being serviced properly as we made changes to our infrastructure and CI/CD processes.' ROLLER now has comprehensive visibility into its applications and infrastructure, enabling operations, engineering, security and support teams with the ability to use and communicate using one platform. ROLLER's relatively small ICT team has also quadrupled scale while simultaneously derisking operations and supporting more complex systems. 'The experiences industry is defined by strong customer service, built on trust and reliability – from the moment customers book their tickets to the memories they keep,' said Rob Thorne, Vice President for APJ at Datadog. 'By using Datadog to create a reliable and resilient infrastructure, ROLLER has de-risked its operations while bringing down its cloud spend, priming it to support for an industry still navigating the impacts of the pandemic.'
