Bruker Corp. (BRKR) Sheds 8.6% on Dismal Earnings, Outlook
We recently published . Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) is one of the companies that stood stronger last week. Bruker Corp. fell for a fifth straight day on Monday, dropping 8.62 percent to close at $34.72 apiece after posting a dismal earnings performance in the first half of the year and lowering its growth outlook for full-year 2025. In a statement, Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) said both attributable net income and revenues in the second quarter of the year finished flat at $7.6 million and $800 million, respectively. Looker_Studio/ Meanwhile, attributable net income for the first half declined by 57 percent to $25 million from $58.5 million year-on-year, while revenues were higher by 4 percent to $1.6 billion versus $1.52 billion in the same comparable period. 'Life-science research instruments demand is under pressure at the moment. Our second quarter came in below expectations, as we experienced challenging demand conditions in the US academic market, as well as in biopharma and industrial markets,' said Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) President and CEO Frank Laukien. 'Tariffs and a stiff currency headwind could not yet be compensated for by our mitigating price, supply chain, and cost actions in the second quarter,' he added. For full-year 2025, Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) expects revenues to end at $3.43 billion to $3.5 billion, or a 2-4 percent growth from the $3.37 billion last year. The updated figures, however, were lower than the previous guidance of $3.48 billion to $3.55 billion. While we acknowledge the potential of BRKR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Diesel pump prices are surging in potential boost to inflation
(Bloomberg) — US diesel prices at the pump have surged to the highest in almost a year as retail markets catch up with tightness in global supplies of the widely used fuel, threatening to boost inflation. The national average price of a gallon of diesel has risen 7% since early June to $3.738 on Monday, near the highest since August 2024, American Automobile Association data show. The rally was sparked by a flareup in the conflict between Israel and Iran and has been sustained by outages at refineries in Europe and a dearth of distillate-rich crudes. Diesel is a ubiquitous industrial and transportation fuel that's vital to the economy because of its role in construction, trucking and agriculture, among other sectors. Some of those industries are already facing headwinds: US factory activity in July contracted at the fastest pace in nine months, while construction spending fell in June. The rising cost of diesel threatens not only additional pain for a wide swath of industries, but also price pressures for consumers. 'As the industry is having to cover these increased prices, they pass those costs onto their customers, who then pass them on in the form of the final cost of goods to the consumer,' said Kendra Hems, president of the Trucking Association of New York. US diesel stockpiles are lower than the five-year average for this time of year, even after building up for three straight weeks, according to Energy Information Administration data. Diesel product margins increased in July as global stockpiles fell 10% to 15% year-over-year and financial demand for the product surged, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Reduced diesel and crude feedstock for refineries outside of China and refinery intakes skewed toward lighter crudes more suitable for gasoline also drove diesel's rally, Goldman Sachs analysts including Yulia Zhestkova Grigsby said in a note. While industries should be able to cope if the current tightness eases, a hurricane, flood or power outage could disrupt that calculus, said Elaine Levin, president at Powerhouse, a company that designs and implements hedging strategies. 'We don't have much room for error,' Levin said. 'There's so much of the system without a rainy day fund.' White House policy could also affect the outlook for diesel. US President Donald Trump said last week that he would give Russia 10 days to reach a truce with Ukraine and reiterated his threat of additional levies on Moscow. Diesel prices skyrocketed during previous rounds of Russia sanctions and soared above $5 a gallon after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Trump has also vowed to impose an additional penalty on India for buying Russian crude, a warning that came after Nayara Energy Ltd. reduced run rates at its refinery in west India following European Union sanctions. 'With a major Russian-owned refinery in India seeing challenges now sourcing Russian crude, it's hard to know what the market response in terms of shifting supply might look like,' said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. —With assistance from Nathan Risser. ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Worried about AI at work? Avoid these 5 leadership mistakes with your team
Artificial intelligence may be transforming the workplace, but for many employees, it's fueling uncertainty instead of excitement. According to a 2025 Pew Research Center study, 52% of U.S. workers worry AI could disrupt or replace their jobs. And an August 2024 SHRM survey found that nearly half feel unprepared for automation, while 95% say they don't trust their organization to manage the shift in a way that benefits everyone. How managers address these concerns can make or break team morale and productivity. Experts say clear, honest communication is critical, but the wrong message can backfire, fueling fear instead of trust. Whether you're rolling out new tools or just starting the conversation, it's important to engage your team with transparency, context and empathy. Below, two human resources experts break down five common mistakes to avoid when discussing AI with your team and provide guidance on navigating the discussion more effectively. 1. Acting like it's no big deal According to the World Economic Forum, when managers dismiss or avoid discussing AI concerns, they often create bigger problems down the road. 'Business leaders can't bury their heads in the sand and hope for the best,' says Eric Mochnacz, director of operations at Red Clover HR in New Jersey. 'They must have up-front discussions about the benefits of AI in their business, the drawbacks, the potential impacts and the areas where they'll not allow AI usage.' Chad V. Sorenson, president of Florida-based Adaptive HR Solutions, agrees that direct communication is key. 'Employees may feel AI threatens their jobs and may question leaders' motives for introducing AI tools,' he explains. So, 'address the fear and explore how AI can augment workflows and streamline repetitive tasks rather than replace workers.' Takeaway: Don't downplay concerns about AI. Acknowledge employee fears openly and explain how AI will support, not replace, their work. 2. Throwing around 'AI' without defining it AI isn't just one thing. Mochnacz explains that there's a significant difference between using generative AI to enhance email communications and utilizing AI chatbots to manage all customer interactions. Without these distinctions, employees don't understand what to expect from their workplace changes or how they can remain relevant. 'AI is such a buzzword, and leaders haven't taken the time to define it and understand the differences,' says Mochnacz. 'I've been in meetings where people ask, 'Can you do this with AI?' or 'Everyone's talking about AI, so we have to do something with it.'' He emphasizes the importance of clarifying the fundamentals: Takeaway: Don't use 'AI' as a vague catchall. Clearly define what types of AI you're using, what they do and why they matter to your team. 3. Failing to explain the why 'Any time leaders announce a new program or procedure without employee buy-in, there could be fear, skepticism or anger,' Sorenson cautions. Instead of simply telling employees what's changing, explain why the company needs AI. How does it fit into broader business goals? This context helps employees understand their role in the transition rather than viewing it as a threat. 'Ongoing two-way feedback is critical for continued refinement of how teams use AI to improve workflows, processes and results,' notes Sorenson. Takeaway: Don't skip the context. Explain why AI is being adopted and how it supports your team's goals to build trust and buy-in. 4. Overhyping what AI can do 'Leaders promising that AI will handle everything don't have a clear understanding of its possibilities and limitations,' Sorenson says. For instance, AI can help employees understand benefit plans. But it can't handle nuanced harassment complaints or mental health concerns. 'AI systems must be trained to understand when a human must intervene,' he adds. Mochnacz says the problem gets worse when leaders promise capabilities that may never materialize. 'We have no idea what AI is going to be able to do in a month, three months or a year,' he emphasizes. So, it's better to focus on specific, tested use cases rather than grand predictions about AI replacing everything. Takeaway: Avoid making big promises. Focus on what AI can realistically do today, not speculative future capabilities. 5. Leaving people out of the process 'Whenever there's a business, industry or technology shift, involve those it may impact,' stresses Mochnacz. 'Have up-front, direct conversations with your people about their roles and how they see AI helping them be more effective.' A recent MIT Sloan working paper finds that the most successful generative AI deployments consistently involve frontline workers from the earliest stages through rollout. Drawing on over 50 in-depth interviews, MIT researchers demonstrate that when employees help define the problem, co-design workflows, experiment with tools, and shape fair transition policies, not only does adoption improve, but worker productivity and job quality also rise. The key here is framing AI as a collaboration partner rather than a threat. Mochnacz explains that when leaders present AI as a good reality for everyone, employees will engage with the technology. But when the message becomes "prove AI can't replace you," workers resist because it feels like an ultimatum. Takeaway: Don't make AI decisions in a vacuum. Engage employees early and frame AI as a tool to support their work, rather than compete with it. What successful AI communication looks like Sorenson says poor AI communication shows up in obvious ways. You might notice more pushback in meetings, higher employee turnover or a spike in anxious watercooler conversations. These signals suggest that employees feel excluded or uncertain and may be bracing for the worst. In contrast, when communication is clear and inclusive, team engagement improves. 'If your AI communication strategy is successful, employees should engage in the conversation,' Sorenson notes. 'They'll make suggestions to continue to refine its use, and demonstrate an increased productivity level.' Look for those signs of healthy adoption: employees asking questions, suggesting improvements and using AI to work more efficiently. When teams feel empowered, not threatened, you know you've struck the right balance. What is USA TODAY Top Workplaces 2025? Do you work for a great company?
