Baglietto Unveils New Superyacht Concept
What do you get when an Italian shipyard with over 165 years of shipbuilding heritage, a highly experienced Italian yacht designer, and an award-winning, NYC-based design studio that's known for creating distinctive residences, resorts, retail and workspaces throughout the world, announce a new creative partnership? The answer: The Vesta 56 superyacht concept the Baglietto shipyard just unveiled that features elegant exteriors designed by Enrico Gobbi Team for Design and a contemporary interior design by Meyer Davis.
For me, one of the cool things about this concept is the way the yachting establishment—Baglietto and the Enrico Gobbi Team for Design—have embraced the fresh ideas that Meyer Davis (relative newcomers to the yachting space that are fresh off their successful debut yacht interior design Seawolf X) brings to the project.
Here is the Meyer Davis-designed interior of the Vesta 56 superyacht Baglietto just unveiled
'Vesta 56 is the expression of our philosophy says Fabio Ermetto, CCO of Baglietto. 'With Enrico Gobbiʼs elegant exterior lines and the fresh, sophisticated vision of Meyer Davis, we are creating something extraordinary—an experience that speaks to beauty, innovation, and balance. We're proud to collaborate with design firms that share our passion for timeless yet contemporary style.ˮ
The yacht's slender vibe is thanks to design details like ultra-thin aft deck overhangs and long runs of uninterrupted windows that are inspired by aeronautical design. In fact, according to early reports, the intent was to create a yacht defined by 'lines in movement', a sense of continuous flow and energy, even when the yacht is at anchor.

'The 56 meter Baglietto is characterized by a captivating design, generous spaces, and a sleek and dynamic profile,"says Enrico Gobbi. "The project brief requested for large and comfortable exterior and interior areas, without compromising the aesthetics of the yacht. For this reason, dynamic and stretched lines were chosen to reach the perfect balance between generous volumes and an elegant streamlined profile.'
The interplay between exterior and interior is obviously at the center of the design philosophy. The windows are particularly tall to provide panoramic views, while sharp, sculpted elements mix with soft curves to create a distinctive exterior.

Meanwhile Meyer Davis presents an interior design that they say is less about spectacle and more about sensation—a place not just to explore the world, but to feel at home in it. 'We were inspired by the name Vesta 56 for its rich symbolism," says Gray Davis, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. "The quiet strength of home. The comfort of sanctuary. And the enduring presence of spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling truly at home. Each material, curve, and proportion is imbued with intention to reflect that spirit. The interiors have a quiet strength that marks each space with meaning and memory.'

Signature spaces such as the main deck salon, dining room, and upper lounge are designed to nurture connection and comfort. Retractable glass walls are designed to blur the threshold between inside and outside. While architectural lighting and curved built-in furniture capture the changing light that is inherent onboard yachts of this size.

'Embracing organic form, personal layers, and lived-in elegance, we designed the yacht to age gracefully, accumulating stories as it travels' says Will Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis.
Amen to that.

Why Applied Materials (AMAT) Stock Is Down Today
What Happened? Shares of semiconductor machinery manufacturer Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) fell 3.8% in the morning session after a warning from European peer ASML (ASML) about potential growth uncertainty in 2026 due to U.S. tariff policies. The news from ASML, a key supplier to the semiconductor industry, sparked concerns across the sector, leading to a sell-off in related stocks. Applied Materials, along with other U.S. semiconductor equipment makers like Lam Research and KLA Corp, saw jejich shares decline in pre-market trading. The cautious sentiment reflects investor anxiety over how ongoing trade tensions and tariff policies could impact the global supply chain and future corporate earnings for companies that are heavily reliant on international markets. This macro-level uncertainty appeared to overshadow company-specific fundamentals for the day. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Applied Materials? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Applied Materials's shares are very volatile and have had 23 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 8 months ago when the stock dropped 9.2% on the news that the company reported weak third-quarter (Fiscal Q4 2024) results. Its revenue guidance for the next quarter slightly missed. Sales growth was also underwhelming during the quarter as revenue beat by a narrow margin. The company attributed some of the weakness to headwinds which impacted sales in China. Although key operating segments exceeded analysts' estimates by small margins, underlying weaknesses became more apparent when data was aggregated by product categories. Specifically, DRAM sales fell below Wall Street's estimates, declining by 10% year-on-year, given tough comparisons amid elevated purchases from China in the previous year. Zooming out, we think this is a challenging quarter for the company. Following the results, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore lowered his price target from $185 to $179, calling out uncertainty around export controls. Moore added, "Consistent with our outlook that 2025 may not be as good as one expected 6 months ago, expectations for foundry orders from Intel and Samsung have receded, ICAPS ex-China appears to be going through a prolonged correction, and NAND has yet to recover from a very low base." Applied Materials is up 16.4% since the beginning of the year, but at $190.67 per share, it is still trading 22.4% below its 52-week high of $245.84 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Applied Materials's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,059. 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) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

Guinness Owner Diageo's CEO Steps Down as the Alcoholic Beverage Giant Struggles
Key Takeaways Diageo CEO Debra Crew resigned, effective immediately, as the maker of brands including Smirnoff vodka and Guinness beer struggles with weak sales. The company said CFO Nik Jhangiani is taking over on an interim basis. Diageo kept in place its fiscal 2025 and 2026 guidance given in (DEO) CEO Debra Crew resigned Wednesday, effective immediately, as the maker of brands including Smirnoff vodka and Guinness beer struggles with weak sales. In its news release, Diageo gave no reason for Crew's departure, only that it was 'by mutual agreement.' She has led the company since June 2023. The company has struggled during Crew's tenure. The Financial Times, which first reported she was leaving, suggested Crew failed to convince some investors that sales declines were due to cyclical changes, rather than reflecting operational issues or a structural drop in alcohol sales. It noted that Diageo shares have slumped over 40% since she became CEO. Diageo said that CFO Nik Jhangiani will take over on an interim basis. The board 'has begun a comprehensive formal search process, which will include consideration of internal and external candidates," Diageo said. The company added that its guidance for fiscal 2025 and 2026 offered in May remains unchanged. At that time, Diageo said it anticipated new Trump administration tariffs would negatively impact results by $150 million on an annualized basis. The company plans to release fourth-quarter and full-year results on Aug. 5, as scheduled. U.S.-listed shares of Diageo wavered between gains and losses following Wednesday's release. They've lost about one-quarter of their value since the start of the year.

How much does it cost to charge an electric vehicle?
The government is set to make it cheaper for people to buy an electric vehicle (EV). Grants for new electric cars are being reintroduced after being scrapped in June 2022, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced on 14 July, with drivers now able to reduce the purchase cost of a new electric car by up to £3,750. Officials hope the measure – restricted to vehicles priced at up to £37,000 – will encourage more drivers to switch to electric motoring. The DfT said 23 new electric car models are available for less than £30,000 and that the new grants will be funded through a new £650 million scheme. Labour has also retained a Conservative plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030. But how much does it really cost to charge an electric car? And what are the best and most cost-effective ways to do so? Yahoo News spoke to a leading EV expert to find out. What's the cheapest way to top up an electric car? Overall, it's cheaper to 'fuel' an electric vehicle than it is to fuel either a petrol or diesel car – so long as you have access to a home charger, says Mike Vousden, resident EV expert at car retailer Motorpoint. But the cost of electricity varies drastically depending on where you charge your car, he says. Some owners end up paying as little as £3.50 to fully charge their battery, by cleverly using electricity tariffs and charging at night. The cheapest way to top-up electric cars is at home using a domestic electricity supply, says Vousden. This can be even cheaper if you choose an EV-specific electricity tariff that rewards you for charging at night. But it's worth noting that normal three-pin sockets charge EVs very slowly, so it's best to invest in installing a 3 kilowatt (kW) or 7kW home charger to top up vehicles overnight. V'Many EV owners who charge at home actually pay less than the standard rate of 24.5p per kWh to charge their cars, with some EV owners paying as little as £3.50 to fully charge their 50kWh battery (7p/kWh)," Vousden says. 'This is because they charge overnight when electricity demand is lower, using EV-specific energy tariffs that offer cheaper rates in return.' How can you work out what you are spending? It's fairly easy to work out how much charging your EV at home will cost, Vousden explains. You simply multiply the number of kWh you put into your car's battery by the rate you pay for electricity. 'For example, if your EV has a 50kWh battery pack and you want to fully charge it from 0-100%, you'll need 50kWh of electricity. At the time of writing, UK electricity prices are 24.5p per kWh (or £0.245) – 50 x 0.245 = 12.25 – so a full 0-100% charge will cost £12.25," Vousden explains. Read more: Is it cheaper to run an electric vehicle or a petrol car? It's worth shopping around for a new electricity tariff at the same time as buying an EV, Vousden advises. Some energy providers offer EV-specific tariffs with discounted rates for home charging, often in exchange for a slightly higher standard rate, he says. These discounted EV rates are normally only available at night-time when overall demand for electricity is low – you can schedule the vast majority of EVs to only charge at these times. In fact, using an EV-specific tariff and charging at night can cut costs to as little as 7p per kWh. What about public chargers? Public EV chargers tend to be much more expensive – if you're forced to rely on these, it will wipe out the fuel-cost savings of driving an EV. Rates of 70p per kWh are typical, and can be higher in high demand areas. Not all public chargers are equal, though, Vousden explains. Read more: What we know about plans to install solar panels on all new homes Vousden says, 'Motorway service stations tend to have the highest prices of around 85p/kWh, whereas supermarkets are cheaper at around 30-40p/kWh – and occasionally free for slow charging. 'However, council-run chargers can vary depending on the location, so be sure to check these when planning your route – by avoiding more expensive chargers, you could cut your charging costs by up to 50% on longer trips.' What's going to happen to prices going forward? Prices for public chargers are likely to remain relatively high in the near future, says Vousden, but could drop over the long haul, driving more demand for EVs. 'We don't expect public EV charging prices to fall drastically any time soon, because charge point providers will look to recoup the cost of installing new charging stations on a wide scale," Vousden says. 'However, in time EV charging prices could fall. With increased competition among charging stations, we could see a supermarket-style pricing model where one network offers a lower price than another in order to attract customers. Drivers' groups, such as the RAC, are also campaigning for a reform for public EV charging prices, to reduce the disparity between home charging and the more expensive public networks.'
