This partnership and NextNav's technology will allow incident commanders to visualize not only the horizontal location of personnel but also their vertical position. By displaying first responders using a NextNav 3D wireframe view of buildings directly within First Due's Incident Command and Response solution, commanders on scene can now pinpoint the exact real-time location of personnel inside tall or complex structures. This capability supports faster and more informed decision-making during emergencies and is designed to enhance responder safety and operational awareness, helping both front-line personnel and their command teams make better tactical choices in high-pressure situations.
'We're focused on ensuring First Due delivers real impact when it matters most. With the ability to visualize personnel not just on a 2D map but within a 3D model of a structure, incident commanders gain powerful situational awareness in the moments that count,' said Andreas Huber, Co-founder and CEO of First Due. 'We're proud to continue our partnership with NextNav and further develop solutions that aim to improve operational outcomes during the most complex urban responses.'
'NextNav is excited to bring its accurate z-axis location and 3D visualization services to First Due's application ecosystem. This partnership gives first responders and command staff a clearer picture of what's happening inside buildings during an emergency,' said Rob Clark, Senior Director of Public Safety at NextNav, 'This rollout marks a major milestone in bringing advanced actionable data into real-world emergency response — and sets the stage for similar upgrades at 9-1-1 call centers across the country.'

Why Apple Stock Lagged the Market on Monday

Key Points A global bank maintained its equivalent of a sell recommendation in a new research note. It enumerated three reasons not to buy the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › An Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) bear weighed in on the monster tech stock Monday morning, and it seems at least a few investors were taking its latest analysis to heart. They unenthusiastically traded the company's stock that session, weakly pushing it only 0.5% higher. Meanwhile, the benchmark S&P 500 index closed the day 1.5% in positive territory. Barclays is quite the bear In its new Apple take, Barclays reiterated its existing underweight (read: sell) recommendation on the iDevice maker. This, despite enacting a slight raise in its price target to $180 per share from the preceding $173. According to reports, Barclays' continued pessimistic outlook on Apple stems from three key factors. The first is the inherent weakness in the company's foundational hardware business. Growth in such products has been modest, and the bank's analysts pointed out that the seemingly robust growth in the company's just-reported fiscal third quarter was due to factors such as forward purchasing ahead of anticipated tariffs. The second is China, a crucial market for Apple. Barclays believes that intensifying competition will threaten the company's market share in the sprawling Asian nation. Concerned about regulators Finally, the bank is wary about potential regulatory difficulties Apple might have in its Apple Services segment. With increased scrutiny and regulatory action around app marketplaces like the App Store, the company could be hit with rulings that reduce its take from this lucrative revenue stream. Last week, Alphabet's Google suffered a notable legal defeat when its appeal against an unfavorable ruling in a case centered around its Google Play was rejected. Both regulators and courts seem to find the highly advantageous conditions of marketplaces like Google Play and the App Store distasteful. Should you invest $1,000 in Apple right now?

Company Overview Involved in the construction of a major highway, the Grand Parkway in Houston, TX, Sterling Infrastructure (NASDAQ:STRL) provides civil infrastructure construction. Revenue Growth Examining a company's long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Luckily, Sterling's sales grew at a solid 9.9% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a great starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. Sterling's recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its annualized revenue growth of 7% over the last two years was below its five-year trend. This quarter, Sterling reported year-on-year revenue growth of 5.4%, and its $614.5 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 10.8%. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 7.2% over the next 12 months, similar to its two-year rate. This projection doesn't excite us and suggests its newer products and services will not catalyze better top-line performance yet. At least the company is tracking well in other measures of financial health. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) stock benefiting from the rise of AI. Click here to access our free report one of our favorites growth stories. Operating Margin Sterling has managed its cost base well over the last five years. It demonstrated solid profitability for an industrials business, producing an average operating margin of 10.4%. This result was particularly impressive because of its low gross margin, which is mostly a factor of what it sells and takes huge shifts to move meaningfully. Companies have more control over their operating margins, and it's a show of well-managed operations if they're high when gross margins are low. Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Sterling's operating margin rose by 7.2 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it immense operating leverage. In Q2, Sterling generated an operating margin profit margin of 17%, up 4.5 percentage points year on year. The increase was encouraging, and because its operating margin rose more than its gross margin, we can infer it was more efficient with expenses such as marketing, R&D, and administrative overhead. Earnings Per Share Revenue trends explain a company's historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Sterling's EPS grew at an astounding 41.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 9.9% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. Diving into the nuances of Sterling's earnings can give us a better understanding of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, Sterling's operating margin expanded by 7.2 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its higher earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don't tell us as much about a company's fundamentals. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business. For Sterling, its two-year annual EPS growth of 40.5% was lower than its five-year trend. We still think its growth was good and hope it can accelerate in the future. In Q2, Sterling reported adjusted EPS at $2.69, up from $1.67 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts' estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Sterling's full-year EPS of $7.76 to grow 13.8%. Key Takeaways from Sterling's Q2 Results We were impressed that Sterling beat analysts' revenue and EBITDA expectations this quarter. We were also excited its full-year guidance was raised. Zooming out, we think this was a solid print. The stock traded up 4.1% to $283.65 immediately following the results. Sterling had an encouraging quarter, but one earnings result doesn't necessarily make the stock a buy. Let's see if this is a good investment. What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.
