Maxar Awarded $205 Million In Strategic Contracts to Advance Sovereign Capabilities Across the Middle East and Africa Region
WESTMINSTER, Colo., July 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maxar Intelligence, the leading provider of secure, precise geospatial insights, today announced three new multi-year strategic contracts totaling $204.7 million that will help accelerate sovereign defense and intelligence capabilities and space leadership across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
The contracts, which expand on Maxar's two decades-long leadership in the region, are built around Maxar's Direct Access Program (DAP) offering. The MEA customers will have direct access to Maxar's industry-leading satellite constellation and geospatial intelligence products, including very high-resolution satellite imagery, 3D terrain data and advanced analytics for persistent monitoring in near real-time.
Access to Maxar's geospatial intelligence products will also help these customers build more advanced space-based C5ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) systems, unlocking new opportunities in multi-domain operations, persistent surveillance and advanced mission coordination. For example, the contract includes access to the AI-powered change detection capabilities used to build Sentry, Maxar's new predictive intelligence solution. These technologies can identify mission-relevant activity and patterns to enable site monitoring across multiple sites at once.
"The ongoing digitalization of modern defense and security operations has driven a big growth in international demand for sovereign geospatial intelligence capabilities, particularly for near real-time situational awareness over key areas of interest," said Anders Linder, General Manager, International Government at Maxar. "The MEA region has long been on the forefront of investing in technological innovation, and our expanded partnerships reflect the strategic importance of sovereign space-based capabilities. These deals underscore Maxar's deep commitment to supporting our international customers' needs to gain real-time decision advantage for the most demanding missions."
Maxar's DAP offering enables its international defense and intelligence customers to integrate ground stations with Maxar's satellites, giving them dedicated capacity with guaranteed delivery speeds.

Ronaldo Eyes Bruno Fernandes in Massive Al Nassr Transfer Push
After Felix move, Al Nassr target another Portuguese star to reunite with Ronaldo and coach Jesus Ronaldo Eyes Bruno Fernandes in Massive Al Nassr Transfer Push Cristiano Ronaldo's reportedly pushing for blockbuster reunion with Bruno Fernandes at Al Nassr as part of bold plan to assemble Portuguese core at the Saudi club this summer. Ronaldo's Influence Grows According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, the Al Nassr captain played major role in Joao Felix's recent move to the Riyadh based club and is now aiming to bring in Fernandes as the next big signing. The club's also managed by fellow Portuguese Jorge Jesus making the potential transfer even more appealing. Money Not Obstacle While Bruno's current market value is 50 million euro (Transfermarkt), the report claims Al Nassr's management won't let financial concerns hinder the pursuit. Despite turning down lucrative offer from Al Hilal in the past, the presence of Ronaldo & Jesus could be decisive in swaying Fernandes this time. Talks Underway A Bola revealed that initial contact was made on Thursday between Al Nassr & Fernandes camp to gauge interest and open the door to possible negotiation with Man United. Portuguese Power Project The move's part of Al Nassr's wider strategy to build Portuguese spine with Felix already secured and Bruno next in line. However luring the Man United captain won't be easy especially with new manager Ruben Amorim keen on keeping him central to the team's rebuild. Old Connection Could Help Fernandes previously played under Jorge Jesus at Sporting CP in the 2017 /18 season, a link that may prove crucial in reviving talks and convincing the playmaker to take on new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.

3 stock picks for second half of 2025
We are more than halfway through 2025. Hennion & Walsh chief investment officer Kevin Mahn shares three stocks he likes for the second half of the year. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Kevin, your uh, keep an eye on some key themes in the second half here. Let's run through these, my friend. Sure. We'll go through three of them, rapid fire, right? One, you talk about here, here's the first Kevin theme, the long game of artificial intelligence and besting. You call out Taiwan semi, which has that it's it's up around 20% this year. I know some on the street, they worry about tariff impact, demand being a risk this year, but walk me through how you think about that there. Taiwan Semiconductor, the largest dedicated chip foundry in the world with a 60% market share. You know who their largest client is? Nvidia. Everyone thinks Nvidia makes their own chips. They don't. Taiwan Semiconductor makes their chips. They just lifted their full year guidance by 30%, and we also know that Nvidia is looking to onshore the production of their chips into the US. Taiwan Semiconductor has a facility in Phoenix, Arizona. I've visited it. It's massive. Taiwan sector's got more room to grow. And into your point, I mean, it's customer list, it's just a who's who of tech. Uh, the other one I'd like to talk about, increased investment in defense and security. Why is that a theme? How do you want to play it? So start, we recently learned that NATO countries have committed to spend up to 5% of their GDP on defense spending over the next decade. We know that the European Union is going to spend $840 US billion US dollars over the next four years on defense spending. President Trump just included nearly $1 trillion in defense spending in the US budget. Where does that money go? Defense contractors. Here's an international play. We know international is outperforming US thus far this year, significantly. One name to play, BAE Systems, the largest defense contractor in Europe and one of the six prime contractors to the US Department of Defense. They pay a dividend about 1.7%. If you're looking to follow the money, the money's going into defense spending and BAE system is one way to play that. Would you want BAE instead of or in addition to a Lockheed Martin? In addition. In addition to. This gives you some geographical diversification. You mentioned North of Grumman. How about a company like Kratos Defense, which is building autonomous warfare so you don't have to put soldiers' lives at risk in war. So there's different ways to play where this money's going to ultimately be spent, but BAE gives you a little geographical diversification as well. Yeah. Last one I want, look to sources of power to help power your returns. Which what's the name there? How about Nisource? It's a multi-utility. It's one of the largest distributors of natural gas in our country with over 3 million customers in states such as Pennsylvania and even Virginia. Virginia which has become the capital data centers of the world. So now utilities have become a back door play into the AI revolution. And A Nisource has a dividend over 2%, nearly 3%. So you get the defensive characteristics of utility, the back door play into the AI revolution, and as the energy secretary says, natural gas is where we need to lean into right now to help power the AI revolution going forward in addition to nuclear and other alternative sources. Yes. I just you're in good company, by the way. Street agrees with you. I'm just looking at 80% of analysts covering this name say it's a buy, Kevin. Mhm.
