Brink's Sets Ambitious Financial Goals for 2025

Brink's Company has unveiled its financial targets for 2025, focusing on organic growth and margin expansion. The company is forecasting mid-single-digit organic growth for the year, with a particular emphasis on robust growth in its ATM Managed Services and Digital Retail Solutions segments, anticipating mid to high teens growth rates in these areas. As reported by investing.com, Brink's also aims to improve its EBITDA margin by 30 to 50 basis points, leveraging strong revenue growth, an enhanced revenue mix, and cost productivity measures.

In its strategic plan, Brink's is targeting a free cash flow conversion rate of around 46% and intends to return about half of this cash to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends. Capital expenditures are planned to stay under 3.5% of revenue, focusing on investments that offer strong synergy potential. However, the company expects a 5% foreign exchange headwind, which could impact revenue and earnings.

These targets reflect Brink's dedication to enhancing operational efficiency and shareholder value. The company is setting its sights on strategic investments within its existing operations to drive growth. Despite the anticipated challenges from foreign exchange fluctuations, Brink's is committed to maintaining a disciplined approach to capital expenditure and shareholder returns. The current stock price of Brink's Co. stands at $94.4, with a slight increase of $1.71 from the previous close, reflecting cautious market optimism about its strategic direction.

Honda's Profits Tumble Amid Tariffs and a Strong Yen

Honda's Profits Tumble Amid Tariffs and a Strong Yen

Honda Motor Co. has reported a notable 76% drop in its operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company now forecasts an operating profit of 500 billion yen ($3.38 billion), a steep decline from the 1.21 trillion yen achieved in the previous fiscal year. The significant profit slump is primarily due to the U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump and the effects of a strengthening yen. These factors are said to overshadow the growing demand for Honda's hybrid vehicle lineup. Despite robust sales in the North American market, Reuters noted that global vehicle sales saw a 1.5% decline, reaching 2.8 million units over the first nine months of 2024, with sales in China dropping sharply by 29%. In response to these challenges, Honda has enacted cost-saving measures, including workforce reduction and suspension of operations at certain manufacturing plants. Meanwhile, Honda's stock showed a slight uptick, closing at $30.93 on May 13, 2025, reflecting a modest 1.58% increase. The company's strategic focus remains on navigating economic pressures and sustaining demand in its key markets.

In clinical updates, the Phase 1/2 STAAR study for this treatment reported ongoing benefits and improved kidney function.
