Nayax Introduces Innovative State-of-Charge Feature for EV Kiosk, Elevating EV Charging Experience
HERZLIYA, Israel, March 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nayax Ltd. (Nasdaq: NYAX; TASE: NYAX), a global commerce enablement, payments and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced the launch of its State-of-Charge feature for its EV Kiosk. This new upgrade simplifies electric vehicle (EV) charging by clearly separating card-present payments from mobile access to charging session details. Payments are securely completed directly at the payment kiosk, while detailed charging information is effortlessly accessed on drivers' smartphones by scanning a QR code—no app downloads or personal details required.
As EVs become increasingly common, convenience and data privacy are top priorities for drivers. Many drivers find managing numerous charging apps inconvenient and worry about protecting sensitive payment data. Nayax's EV Kiosk solves these challenges by enabling secure, quick, physical payments directly at the kiosk. After paying, drivers simply scan the QR code displayed at the kiosk to see key charging details on their phones, including energy usage, charging speed, session duration, total cost, and kWh charged. Drivers can easily track their charging session remotely and instantly receive a digital e-receipt upon completion.
EV Kiosk's digital e-receipts are customizable, allowing merchants to strengthen brand visibility and customer relationships. Businesses can leverage receipts for promotions, social media links, engaging video content, or advertisements—encouraging customer loyalty and repeat visits.
'Our goal at Nayax is to deliver payment solutions that make life easier for both the merchant and consumer," said Yair Nechmad, CEO of Nayax. "With our new State-of-Charge feature, we've taken a practical approach to solve the everyday frustrations drivers face when charging EVs. By clearly separating the secure physical payment from mobile charging session management, we've made EV charging simpler, faster, and safer—for drivers and charging operators alike."

Stock market closes out chaotic quarter on a high note as S&P 500 notches another new record
The S&P 500 and hit new highs Monday, ending a turbulent quarter that saw a near-bear market two months ago. Monday's U.S. stock market close marked fresh highs for multiple indices, a sharp departure from previous months as one of the most chaotic quarters for equities in recent memory came to an end. The second quarter began on an historically tumultuous note, with President Donald Trump's April 2 announcement of sweeping tariffs sending stocks into free fall and the bond market into turmoil, and putting the U.S.'s global economic dominance at risk. Since then, though, the market has steadily climbed and climbed, as investors shake off concerns about the policies and focus on the news they want to see, like potential tax cuts. In fact, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hit all-time highs Friday after Trump said that the U.S. signed a trade deal with China. The momentum continued Monday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notching new all-time highs and increasing 0.52% and 0.47%, respectively, from Friday's session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 0.63% (though not in record territory). 'As markets reach new all-time highs—even with economic surprises at an 11-month low and geopolitical and tariff-related uncertainties lingering—equity investors appear to have entered another 'bad news is good news' phase, with the focus shifting to potential rate cuts, tax incentives, and deregulation,' says Lisa Shalett, chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. The upward swing comes as inflation stabilizes and earnings trend higher. That said, some analysts and economists point to other potential cracks. 'Arguably, the S&P 500 just returning to its previous record is not enough,' writes Hubert de Barochez, senior markets economist at Capital Economics. He notes that while larger company stocks look good, the Russell 2000, an index of U.S. small caps, is still below its record high, and the index of so-called Magnificent Seven tech stocks, including stalwarts like Amazon, Apple, and Tesla, has also not surpassed its previous high. That said, shares of Meta—one of the Mag Seven stocks—hit a record high late Monday, after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a restructuring of the company's artificial intelligence group. More volatility is possible. Next week, the president's 90-day tariff pause is set to expire, and deals with many countries have yet to be made. There is also uncertainty surrounding the Republican tax bill that would add nearly $3.3 trillion to deficits over a decade and whether it can make it through both chambers of Congress this week. And analysts say inflation related to tariff policies has yet to be seen in the official data. 'We think that the high level of uncertainty, which notably stems from Trump's chaotic policymaking, will prevent the S&P 500 from rising as quickly as it has recently,' writes de Barochez. 'The impending expiration of tariff 'pauses' may spark another boot of volatility in the markets.' This story was originally featured on Sign in to access your portfolio

AeroVironment, Inc. Announces Pricing of Upsized Offerings of Common Stock And 0% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030
ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) (the 'Company') today announced the pricing of its upsized underwritten public offering of 3,528,226 shares of its common stock (the 'Common Stock') at a public offering price of $248.00 per share (such offering, the 'Common Stock Offering'), and its upsized underwritten public offering of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the 'Convertible Notes' and such offering, the 'Convertible Notes Offering'). The aggregate net proceeds to the Company from the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $1.47 billion. The Company expects to use approximately $965.3 million of the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering to repay indebtedness under its term loan and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including to increase manufacturing capacity. The Company has granted the underwriters of the offerings a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 529,234 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount in the Common Stock Offering and a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $97,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the Convertible Notes Offering. The Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders if certain conditions are met and during certain periods, based on an initial conversion rate of 3.1017 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $322.40 per share of Common Stock, representing a premium of approximately 30% above the public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Common Stock Offering. The Company will settle conversions of the Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company's election. Both the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering are expected to close on July 3, 2025, in each case, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The closing of neither the Common Stock Offering nor the Convertible Notes Offering is conditioned upon the closing of the other offering. J.P. Morgan and BofA Securities are acting as lead book-running managers and as representatives of the underwriters for the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering. Raymond James, RBC Capital Markets, William Blair, Baird and BNP Paribas are acting as joint book-running managers for the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering.

Should You Buy Microsoft Stock Now or Wait for a Dip?
Microsoft is trading at all-time highs and nearly 40 times its trailing earnings. Its growth rate has been higher than normal as the business has benefitted from artificial intelligence. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are up 18% this year (returns as of June 27), and that has pushed the stock to a new all-time high. It's been a traditionally safe stock to own, but it's definitely expensive these days, trading at around 38 times its trailing earnings. The business has many growth opportunities and has been a big player in artificial intelligence (AI), which has investors bullish on its long-term future. But given its high valuation, should you consider waiting for a dip in price before adding the stock to your portfolio? Entering trading this week, Microsoft's valuation was at record levels, with a market cap of $3.7 trillion. It's one of the most highly valued stocks on the market today, trailing only Nvidia. But market cap alone doesn't tell investors if a stock is overpriced or not. Looking at a stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple can be an effective way to gauge its relative value. You can compare it to other stocks or even look at its historical average. And based on its 10-year average P/E, Microsoft does indeed look like an expensive stock right now. The stock doesn't look wildly expensive based on the above figure, but investors do appear to be paying a higher premium for the business these days. A higher P/E multiple can be justifiable if a business is performing particularly well and growing at a higher rate than normal, or if it has a big growth catalyst -- such as AI. In recent years, Microsoft has expanded through its acquisition of video gaming company Activision-Blizzard and its heavy investments in AI. Currently, its AI business is generating revenue at an annual run rate of $13 billion, which is a modest amount for a tech company whose sales over the trailing 12 months have totaled $270 billion. There's still potentially much more growth ahead if demand for AI-powered PCs picks up. Unfortunately, with consumers scaling back on spending amid turbulent economic conditions, it may take some time before that may have any sizable impact on its operations. Microsoft is a good long-term investment, but I wouldn't buy it today. At such a high valuation, I don't think it's generating nearly enough growth to justify such a high premium, especially when there are many cheaper AI stocks to choose from; there's not nearly a compelling enough reason to invest in Microsoft right now. I'd put the stock on a watch list, but I wouldn't buy it at its current valuation. There's not much margin of safety and if there's a slowdown in tech spending, especially if companies worry about an economic downturn, then there could be considerable room for the stock to fall. Before you buy stock in Microsoft, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Microsoft wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $722,181!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $968,402!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,069% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 177% for the S&P 500. Don't miss out on the latest top 10 list, available when you join . See the 10 stocks » *Stock Advisor returns as of June 30, 2025 David Jagielski has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Microsoft and Nvidia. The Motley Fool recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
