Through a Teaming Agreement, Saab can access Maxar's geospatial intelligence and advanced mission products like Raptor, as well as draw upon the company's technical expertise. The deal expands on Maxar's existing relationship with Saab, which has most recently focused on deploying Maxar's Raptor product for autonomous drone navigation and operation in GPS-denied environments.
'This partnership will bring together Maxar's industry-leading geospatial intelligence products with Saab's highly advanced defense systems to solve some of the most complex tactical and operational challenges across the battlespace today—from powering more intelligent, real-time multi-domain command and control systems to helping autonomous systems overcome GPS jamming,' said Dan Smoot, Maxar Intelligence CEO. 'The deal also reflects the growing realization that geospatial intelligence can go beyond powering analyst workflows to powering mission-focused software products deployed at the tactical edge.'
'And, most importantly, our partnership with Saab underscores Maxar's deep commitment to supporting our international customers as they continue to build up their sovereign defense capabilities, both in Europe and across the globe,' Smoot continued.
The agreement builds on successful joint testing of Maxar's Raptor software product. The technology was tested with Saab in multiple countries, including a demo in real-world conditions where the product demonstrated the ability to accurately extract ground coordinates within an accuracy of less than 2 m.
'Our collaboration with Maxar represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to use information from the Space domain and thereby enhancing the strategic defense capabilities of Europe and beyond,' says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab business area Dynamics.
'By integrating Maxar's high-end geospatial insights and satellite capabilities with our advanced defense systems, we are setting new standards in the effectiveness and reliability of military operations across multiple domains.'
Maxar's geospatial intelligence products will also help Saab build more advanced C5ISR solutions through secure access to the most advanced commercial satellite imagery in near real-time. Maxar's global 3D terrain data unlocks unique opportunities for real-time multi-source data fusion, enabling truly joint multi-domain operations, seamless interoperability between autonomous systems and enhanced mission coordination.

Yacht Builder to the World's Super-Rich Caught Up in Spy Claims
In early April 2024, Xu Xinyu, an executive director at Ferretti SpA, noticed an SUV and two strange men lingering outside the elegant 18th century palace that houses the Italian luxury yacht maker's Milan offices. On other days, during visits to the Palazzo Parigi Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental, Xu noticed the same individuals again. Soon, he had become convinced he was being followed, according to people familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity in order to discuss confidential matters. Xu, who also sat on the board of Ferretti's majority owners, the Chinese industrial conglomerate Weichai Group, engaged a counter-surveillance firm. During its first sweep on the night of April 3, the security company found a listening device and signal amplifier hidden on Xu's desk. In the offices of the board secretary and the company's Chinese-Italian translator, they uncovered other devices concealed in power outlets. Ferretti confirmed in a statement in response to Bloomberg News inquiries that surveillance devices had been found on its premises.

(Photo Illustration by Piotr Swat/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY), a gas station and convenience store chain, is set to announce its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings (April year) on Monday, June 9, 2025, with analysts expecting earnings of $1.95 per share on $3.95 billion in revenue. This would reflect a 17% decrease in earnings year-over-year and a 10% rise in sales compared to the previous year's figures of $2.35 per share and $3.60 billion in revenue. Historically, the CASY stock has dipped 65% of the time after earnings announcements, with a median one-day decline of 2.9% and a maximum drop of 7%. During the third quarter, Casey's reported an 11% year-over-year rise in EBITDA and anticipated similar growth for the entire year. While net income remained unchanged, it would have increased by 15%, excluding one-off expenses from the $1.1 billion acquisition of Fikes Wholesale and its 198 stores. This performance underscores Casey's robust profitability amid the integration of one of its largest acquisitions ever. The company holds a market capitalization of $17 billion. Over the last twelve months, revenue reached $16 billion, and it was operationally profitable with $768 million in operating profits and a net income of $535 million. For event-driven traders, historical trends may provide an advantage, whether by positioning ahead of earnings or reacting to movements after the announcement. If you're looking for an upside with less volatility than that of individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns over 91% since its inception.

Here are some insights regarding one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Further data for observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings are summarized along with the statistics in the table below. CASY 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return A relatively low-risk strategy (though ineffective if the correlation is weak) is to understand the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identify a pair with the highest correlation, and execute the appropriate trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the strongest correlation, a trader can position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on a 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D pertains to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.
