Sentient Digital, Inc. (SDi) Partners with Viasat to Support Korea Coast Guard Maritime Domain Awareness and Information Sharing Missions
For the Korea Coast Guard CN-235 aircraft, SDi and SGD are implementing a robust new aeronautical SATCOM network utilizing Viasat's GAT-5530 dual Ku- and Ka- bond broadband terminal to facilitate the rapid and accurate execution of operational duties. The system enables real-time information sharing among maritime security forces, including airborne units and ground stations, to enhance maritime monitoring through the sharing of voice, video, and airborne tactical data including radar and AIS (Automatic Identification Systems). The initial pilot program will install this SATCOM solution on an initial CN-235 aircraft operated by the Republic of Korea Coast Guard (KCG) with potential for integration on additional CN-235 aircraft in subsequent phases. This integration will provide advanced, multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity and supports national security objectives by enabling access to the Republic of Korea's sovereign Mugunghwa-5A Ku-band satellite and the forthcoming Chollian 3 Ka-band satellite.
SDi is partnered with SGD Engineering, Ltd. for this program, a leading provider of turnkey airborne mission solutions. SGD, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Isreal, has over 40 years of experience in the design, analysis, integration and installation of various airborne systems. SDi is honored to play a role in this important initiative, driving our commitment to deliver advanced solutions that enhance mission-critical operations. We also look forward to a long-term partnership with Viasat and SGD to provide this complete solution to additional customers worldwide that operate the CN-235 aircraft. "This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth in aircraft systems integration and reinforces our commitment to expanding partnerships with international organizations. By leveraging our expertise and working with global leaders like Viasat and SGD, we're proud to support the Korea Coast Guard in achieving advanced mission capabilities while furthering SDi's mission of enhancing maritime security worldwide" said Chris Mobley, President of SDi.
The CN-235 is a medium-range twin-engine transport aircraft that provides multi-mission support with special application versions including maritime patrol, tactical transport, electronic warfare, navigator training and aerial survey. With approximately 240 CN-235 aircraft currently in operation around the world, it is most widely deployed in maritime environments to enhance sovereign coast guard or navy operations.

Wall Street holds near its record amid doubts about Trump's tariffs
Stock indexes hung near their records on Monday following President Donald Trump's latest updates to his tariffs, as speculation continues on Wall Street that he may ultimately back down on them. The S&P 500 edged up by 0.1% to pull within 0.2% of its all-time high set on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 88 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.3% to set a record. Stock indexes elsewhere around the world were mixed in their first trading after Trump announced plans over the weekend for 30% tariffs on goods from Mexico and the European Union. They won't take effect until Aug. 1, the same deadline that Trump announced last week for updated tax rates on imports from Japan, South Korea and a dozen other countries. The latest postponements for Trump's tariffs allow more time for him to reach trade deals with other countries that could lower the tariff rates and prevent pain for international trade. They also feed into speculation that Trump may ultimately back down on his tariffs if they end up creating too much damage for the economy and for financial markets. If Trump were to enact all his proposed tariffs on Aug. 1, they would raise the risk of a recession. That would not only hurt U.S. voters but also raise the pressure on the U.S. government's debt level relative to the economy's size, particularly after Washington approved big tax cuts that will add to the deficit. 'We therefore believe that the administration is using this latest round of tariff escalation to maximize its negotiating leverage and that it will ultimately de-escalate, especially if there is a new bout of heightened bond and stock market volatility,' according to Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, global head of equities at UBS Global Wealth Management. 'As usual, there are many conditions and clauses that can get these rates reduced,' said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management. 'That's probably why the market might not like the tariff talk, but it's not panicking about it either.' For the time being, all the uncertainty around tariffs could help keep markets unsteady. This upcoming week has several potential flashpoints that could shake things. On Tuesday will come the latest reading on inflation across the United States. Economists expect it to show inflation accelerated to 2.6% last month from 2.4% in May. Companies are also lining up to report how they performed during the spring. JPMorgan Chase and several other huge banks will report their latest quarterly results on Tuesday, followed by Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday and PepsiCo on Thursday. Fastenal, a distributor of industrial and construction supplies, on Monday reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Its stock rose 4.2%, though it also said that market conditions remain sluggish. Shares of Kenvue rose 2.2% after the former division of Johnson & Johnson said CEO Thibaut Mongon is stepping down. Kenvue, the maker of Listerine and Band-Aid brands, is in the midst of a strategic review of its options, 'including ways to simplify the company's portfolio and how it operates,' according to Larry Merlo, the board's chair. Waters slumped 13.8% after saying it had agreed to merge with Becton, Dickinson and Co.'s biosciences and diagnostic solutions business in a deal valued at roughly $17.5 billion. All told, the S&P 500 rose 8.81 points to 6,268.56. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 88.14 to 44,459.65, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 54.80 to 20,640.33 to top its last all-time high set on Thursday. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.42% from 4.43% late Friday. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell across much of Europe. Germany's DAX lost 0.4%, and France's CAC 40 fell 0.3%. But indexes rose 0.8% in South Korea and 0.3% in Hong Kong. Chinese shares advanced after the government reported that exports rose last month as a truce in a tariff war prompted a surge in orders ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline for reaching a new trade deal with Washington. Some of the biggest moves in financial markets were for crypto, where bitcoin continues to set records. This upcoming week is 'Crypto Week' in Washington, where Congress will consider several bills to 'make America the crypto capital of the world.' Choe writes for the Associated Press.

Why $7,000 Invested This Way Could Grow Immensely
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada Investing $7,000 across three TSX stocks like Aritzia (TSX:ATZ), CCL Industries (TSX:CCL.B), and MDA (TSX:MDA) might seem bold. But this mix could really grow your portfolio over time. Each TSX stock plays a different role: fashion growth, industrial packaging, and space tech innovation. Let's explore why this trio could deliver serious gains, but also where the bumps might lie. Aritzia is a Canadian fashion powerhouse known for its high-end women's clothing. Its recent quarterly results show remarkable momentum. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, ended June 1, 2025, Aritzia reported net revenue of $663.3 million, up 33% year-over-year, and net income of $42.4 million, a 167.7% increase, translating to $0.36 per diluted share. Still, fashion trends are fickle and consumer spending can shift on a dime. It's not risk-free, but right now it's riding a wave of retail strength. CCL Industries is a global leader in packaging solutions. It's less flashy than Aritzia, but what it lacks in glamour, it makes up for in stability. CCL Industries reported first-quarter sales of $1.9 billion, up 8.6% from $1.7 billion a year earlier, and net income of $207.4 million, up 7.9% year-over-year. Market chatter says insiders have recently bought shares, which suggests confidence. Still, global supply chain disruptions or rising material costs could dent margins. It's a solid core holding, but growth might stay moderate. MDA is the high-flying space tech angle. It designs satellites, robotic arms, and advanced sensors. MDA Space's shares jumped 156.3% in 2024, making it one of the top three performers on the TSX Composite Index last year. The space sector is hot, and MDA's technology gives it strong exposure. However, space tech also depends on government contracts and regulatory support, both of which can be unpredictable. If federal budgets tighten or projects get delayed, the stock could wobble. Here's one way I'd split $7,000: put $3,000 into Aritzia, $2,000 into CCL, and $2,000 into MDA. Aritzia covers lifestyle growth, CCL provides industrial stability, and MDA gives you that futuristic upside. Aritzia is showing strong top-and bottom-line growth but remains sensitive to consumer trends. CCL offers less risk but slower returns. MDA brings high potential, yet also higher volatility. Smart investors need to challenge every assumption. Aritzia could hit a slowdown if consumer spending weakens or weather hurts foot traffic. CCL might get squeezed if raw material prices rise or new competition emerges. MDA could face delays in satellite launches or a shift in government spending priorities. Despite these risks, this trio offers a broad theme mix tied to real growth stories of retail, manufacturing, and space tech. Holding all three balances potential returns with stability. You're not overloading on one sector or theme. That's important when you only have $7,000 to invest and diversification counts. In short, investing $7,000 this way isn't reckless, it's strategic. You get exposure to established consumer trends, industrial demand, and cutting-edge tech. You're not gambling it all on one idea. Instead, you're betting on three different growth engines. Some may run faster, some slower, but together they could really move your portfolio. Just be ready to adjust as the story unfolds.

Tylenol-maker Kenvue fires CEO Thibaut Mongon, hires Kirk Pery as interim CEO
July 14 (UPI) -- American consumer health company Kenvue on Monday fired CEO Thibaut Mongon. Kenvue, which produces Aveeno, Band-Aid Brand, Johnson's, Listerine, Neutrogena and Tylenol, announced that Mongon "has departed the company" and stepped down from the board. Kirk Perry, a director with more than 30 years of technology and business transformation experience, was appointed as interim CEO. "As interim CEO, I am excited to leverage my decades of experience leading businesses across the consumer and technology industries and work with the Board and leadership team to put the business on the strongest footing to deliver on Kenvue's full potential and realize our goal of top-tier financial performance," Perry said. Heidrick & Struggles, an executive search firm, is assisting the company in a search for its next fulltime CEO. "The Board's strategic review is underway, and we are considering a broad range of potential alternatives, including ways to simplify the Company's portfolio and how it operates. At the same time, with the CEO transition and recent appointment of a new CFO, we are aligning leadership expertise to drive the Company forward," said Larry Merlo, Kenvue's Chair of the Board. "We are confident that the steps we are taking put Kenvue on the right path to deliver both near- and long-term value creation for shareholders." Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation.
