ArrowXL Optimizes Last Mile Delivery and Unlocks Capacity with Descartes
'ArrowXL is focused on bespoke services centered around a customer-first approach,' said Rachel Hopkins, Chief Information Officer, ArrowXL. 'With over 40 years' experience completing deliveries for the U.K.'s leading retailers, e-tailers, and manufacturers, we manage over 2.6 million consumer deliveries annually and we're growing. We cover 100 percent of the U.K., with 98% of the country covered six days a week and the remaining 2% covered on nominated days—all from seven main hubs and eight outbases using a fleet of 250 vehicles. We offer 'Next-Day', 'Nominated Day' and 'Diary Booking' delivery appointments to customers, as well as the setting up and connection of some white goods, assembly of some furniture items, and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling and packaging removal. Managing and executing these delivery services successfully at the sheer scale that we do requires precision planning and execution. With Descartes in place, our team of planners has automated and streamlined previous manual planning processes, allowing us to optimize our vehicle usage and minimize CO2 emissions. This approach increases capacity across our operations dynamically in real-time. Since the Descartes solution interfaces between our system and our clients' systems, we provide the entire value chain with a true view of delivery capacity to take advantage of, allowing everyone to increase operational efficiency.'
Descartes' cloud-based last mile delivery solution helps distribution-intensive companies improve operational efficiency and customer experience. It supports dynamic delivery requirements, including same-day delivery. The Descartes solution improves route productivity by using advanced optimization technology to reduce the distance driven per delivery, which maximizes delivery capacity and reduces costs. In ArrowXL's case, Descartes helps the company to manage deliveries efficiently where boundaries between delivery locations and team areas are unclear. Descartes also improves delivery sustainability with increased route productivity.
'We're pleased our solution is playing an important role for ArrowXL in optimizing route planning and maintaining a high-level of customer experience,' said Gary Taylor, VP Sales, EMEA at Descartes. 'ArrowXL delivers goods daily in the U.K. for some of the highest profile brands in ecommerce and on the high street. Automating route planning and helping planners to execute this function dynamically will continue to allow the business to unlock capacity, support with increasing revenue, and enable their own clients to provide more delivery slots to their customers, all of which improves overall customer experience and service levels.'

Did Plug Power Stock Deserve Today's Price Pop?
Key Points Susquehanna analyst Biju Perincheril raised his price target on Plug Power stock by 80% today. He also raised it by just $0.80. And he didn't even call the stock a buy. 10 stocks we like better than Plug Power › Shares of Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG), one of the highest-profile companies involved in the hydrogen power revolution, enjoyed a solid rise this morning as its shares rocketed 8.1% through 10:10 a.m. ET. The reason for the rise is no mystery: This morning, Susquehanna analyst Biju Perincheril raised his price target on Plug stock by an astounding 80% -- from $1 a share to $1.80. The bigger question is whether Plug Power stock deserved to jump even 8.1% on this change in one analyst's opinion. And whether investors should buy Plug Power stock. Is Plug Power's pop justified? The first question is tricky. On the one hand, an 80% price target hike seems unusually generous, and hints at some important underlying change in the company affected. On the other hand, a price target change of only $0.80 doesn't. It's also worth pointing out that after Plug's share price jump today, the stock already costs more than Perincheril says it's worth -- more than $1.90 per share. And Perincheril is only "neutral" on the stock. He doesn't say you should buy it. Is Plug Power stock a buy? Neither do I. Perincheril argues, in a note on The Fly, that renewable energy stocks that deserve buy ratings are those with a strong U.S. manufacturing presence and "robust backlogs" such as GE Vernova and First Solar. Most of Plug's manufacturing assets are located in the U.S., true, but the company makes no mention of strong backlog in its latest 10-K filing. To the contrary, sales dropped nearly 30% last year, which suggests backlog may actually be shrinking. With a long history of losing money and burning cash, I suspect Plug stock is still a sell. Should you invest $1,000 in Plug Power right now? Before you buy stock in Plug Power, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Plug Power wasn't one of them.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq rise to start busy week of Big Tech-dominated earnings
US stocks rose on Monday, with fresh records for the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and S&P 500 (^GSPC) in sight as Wall Street began a busy week of Big Tech-highlighted earnings and eyed the continued risks around President Trump's tariffs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained more than 0.7% following last week's record-setting rally in growth names. The S&P 500 rose about 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) climbed nearly 0.4%. This week sees investor focus dominated by two topics: Clarity on US trade policy as the implementation of tariffs looms, and earnings from tech heavyweights as Wall Street eyes record-high market valuations. Earnings season shifts into high gear this week with Alphabet (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA) set to release updates on Wednesday — the first of the "Magnificent Seven" to report for the second quarter. Strong results could validate stretched valuations as the market's focus on AI growth is once again attracting comparisons to historic tech bubbles. On the trade front, the EU is said to be stepping up the scope of its retaliation if it fails to strike a trade pact with the US. The bloc is open to an unbalanced deal to break a talks deadlock before the Aug. 1 implementation of Trump's tariffs, per Bloomberg. But Trump's increasingly hardline stance and EU member opposition to concessions are denting hopes for an agreement. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Over the weekend, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reaffirmed the White House's August deadline for new tariffs, calling it a "hard stop" for compliance — before saying that he's looking at continued conversation beyond that date. Meanwhile, solid quarterly earnings results from Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) and Verizon Communications (VZ) lifted those stocks. Cleveland-Cliffs' second quarter financial report beat Wall Street's projections as the steel producer gets a boost from Trump's tariffs. Also on Monday, Domino's Pizza (DPZ) reported sales ahead of expectations as new products drew buyers, helping offset the impact of tariff uncertainty. Read more: Full earnings coverage in our live blog Of the 59 S&P 500 companies that have already released results, 86% have outpaced Wall Street consensus estimates. That is a historically strong beat rate, albeit off modest expectations. Alphabet leads Mag 7 higher Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) shares jumped more than 2% Monday, leading the "Magnificent Seven" Big Tech stocks higher as analysts reiterated their bullish takes on the stock ahead of the Google parent company's quarterly earnings results Wednesday. Needham analyst Laura Martin wrote in a note last week, raising her price target on the stock to $210 from $178, that "GOOGL's Gemini should be one of the 2-4 biggest winners of the GenAI tech wave." Raising his own price target to $210 from $200, Bank of America's Justin Post wrote on July 18 that advertisers' spending with Google Search grew despite growing fears that AI chatbots could displace the tech giant's search engine. "Our channel checks suggested Google ad spend growth was stable in 2Q, with monthly ad spending growth improving through 2Q. We think improving spend as 2Q progressed would be a positive given fears on growing AI competition." Meta (META) rose 1.3%, while Apple (AAPL) climbed 1.1%. Amazon (AMZN) gained nearly 1%, while Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) fell fractionally. Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA), which also reports quarterly earnings Wednesday, fell nearly 0.3%. Cleveland-Cliffs stock jumps after Q2 earnings beat, boosted by Trump's tariffs Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) stock jumped nearly 11% Monday morning after the steel producer reported second quarter financial results ahead of Wall Street's projections, though earnings and revenue declined from last year. The company reported record steel shipments of 4.3 million net tons for the three months ended June 30. CEO Lourenco Goncalves said Cleveland-Cliffs is getting a boost from Trump's tariffs. 'We have started to see the positive impact that tariffs have on domestic manufacturing, protecting domestic jobs and national security," he said in a statement Monday. "We expect this trend to continue, promoting the resurgence of the American automotive industry supported by a thriving domestic steel industry.' 'Going forward, foreign competitors need to acquire steel capacity within the United States if they want to participate in this desirable market," he continued. "As a publicly traded America-based company centered on automotive, electrical steels, stainless and plate, Cleveland-Cliffs' assets, business and footprint are uniquely positioned to benefit from this new reality.' Trump Media stock surges after acquiring $2 billion of bitcoin The stock of President Trump's namesake media group rose 6% Monday morning after it announced it had purchased $2 billion in bitcoin (BTC-USD) and related securities, Yahoo Finance's David Hollerith reports. Hollerith writes: Trump Media and many other firms — GameStop (GME), for example — have followed in the footsteps of Michael Saylor's software firm turned crypto giant, Strategy (MSTR), buying up bitcoin to hold on their balance sheet in the hopes of replicating MSTR's stock price success. The move from Trump Media follows the House's passage of a trio of crypto bills last week, including the first federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

TSMC rides AI wave over trillion-dollar crest Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s market value has pushed over $1 trillion for the first time in the company's history.

(NVDA) saw it shares climb to a record high on Friday, a near 50% rise from an April low. The company's market capitalization now rivals that of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., with further gains potentially putting it among the world's 10 biggest companies by value. TSMC's stock surge reflected growing investor confidence that the world's top chipmaker will ride the AI boom to even greater dominance. The company raised its full-year revenue growth forecast to about 30% last week, signaling TSMC may benefit in a tightening race for AI manufacturing capacity. 'We think that TSMC's tone towards advanced node demand is even more positive with AI customers showing no signs of demand slowdown,' wrote Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts including Bruce Lu after TSMC's quarterly earnings. 'We expect to see a higher magnitude of price hike in 2026.' Read more here.
