Illinois American Water Reminds Motorists to Move Over for Safety

Business Wire30-06-2025
BELLEVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the National Safety Council's National Safety Month ends, Illinois American Water reminds motorists to move over for safety. Throughout June, Illinois American Water employees were featured on the company's Facebook page through the social media #moveover campaign. Posts highlighted Scott's Law and the importance of moving over for law enforcement, emergency, utility and other vehicles displaying warning lights.
Moving over doesn't just protect us—it also protects motorists. At the end of the day, we all share the same goal: to get home safely.

Scott's Law, 625 ILCS 5/11-907(c), is a mandatory move over law in the state of Illinois. The law requires all motorists to move over when encountering stopped or disabled vehicles displaying warning lights. Since 2000, all fifty states have enacted some form of a 'Move Over' law. Illinois expanded the 'Move Over' requirements to motorists with their hazard lights activated along highways. Scott's Law was named in honor of Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department who was struck and killed by a drunk driver while assisting at a crash on a Chicago Expressway. When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle that is displaying or flashing warning lights, Illinois motorists must:
Slow down
Drive with caution
Move over to another lane
Reduce speed if changing lanes is unsafe
When entering a highway construction area, Illinois law requires motorists to:
Slow down
Discontinue wireless use
Yield or change lanes away from any authorized vehicles or workers in the area
Laron Cole, a field service representative in Illinois American Water's Granite City service area, participated in the company's #moveover campaign to remind motorists that behind every utility worker are loved ones who want them to return home safely at the end of each day. Cole said, 'We understand the work we do can cause temporary inconvenience and disrupt traffic. That's why we work as quickly and safely as possible to restore services and return roadways to normal. We never take shortcuts which could compromise safety. Our friends and neighbors can help by slowing down and moving over when they see us working.'
He added 'Moving over doesn't just protect us—it also protects motorists. At the end of the day, we all share the same goal: to get home safely.'

This achievement was made possible by the trust and support of over 2 million users. Specifically, the Zeekr brand delivered 16,977 vehicles, while Lynk & Co brand delivered 27,216 vehicles. New Model Launches On July 9, 2025, Zeekr debuted its revolutionary Super Hybrid Technologies in Wuzhen, China.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 Revenues Total revenues were RMB27,431 million (US$3,829 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 0.9% from RMB27,671 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 24.6% from RMB22,019 million for the first quarter of 2025. Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB22,916 million (US$3,199 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 2.2% from RMB22,433 million for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of 20.0% from RMB19,096 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by higher sales volume of the Lynk & Co brand, partially offset by lower sales volume of the Zeekr brand. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by sales growth resulting from the launch of new models during the second quarter of 2025. Revenues from other sales and services were RMB4,515 million (US$630 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 13.8% from RMB5,238 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 54.5% from RMB2,923 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decrease in R&D revenue from related parties in the second quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the increased overseas sales of battery packs and electric drives since May 2025. Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin Cost of revenues was RMB21,775 million (US$3,040 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 4.0% from RMB22,677 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 22.3% from RMB17,806 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Operating Expenses Research and development expenses were RMB2,146 million (US$300 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 42.9% from RMB3,760 million for the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 26.2% from RMB2,908 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly driven by economies of scale resulting from business integration, partially offset by expanded technological investments for vehicle models. Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB3,364 million (US$469 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.7% from RMB3,725 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 27.2% from RMB2,645 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by economies of scale generated following the Zeekr and Lynk & Co business integration.

The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.

Macquarie Upgrades NIO (NIO) to Outperform on ONVO L90 SUV Launch

NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) is one of the best NYSE penny stocks to invest in now. On August 1, Macquarie upgraded NIO's rating from 'Neutral' to 'Outperform' and raised its 12-month price target on the company's U.S.-listed shares from $3.90 to $5.50. The decision came right after NIO launched the new ONVO L90 SUV, which Macquarie analysts described as a 'potential blockbuster' and possibly NIO's 'most competitive offering' to date. The L90 is a six-seat SUV priced at RMB 265,800 ($36,857). This pricing, the analysts noted, undercut rivals like Li Auto's L8 by 17% but offers similar features, and comes close to the price of Tesla's five-seat Model Y. The analysts highlighted the family-focused positioning of the L90, emphasizing space and usability over advanced tech. They see this as a key way for NIO to address its 'core problem of insufficient volume' in past sales. Macquarie projects monthly sales for the L90 could reach 8,000–12,000 units and describes the vehicle as a possible 'category killer' in its segment. As a result, the analysts raised their FY25 and FY26 NIO vehicle delivery forecasts by 7% and 10% respectively (to 347,000 and 500,000 vehicles). NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer that designs, builds, and sells premium smart EVs, including the ET5, ET7, ES6, and EC7. It develops core technologies in-house while leveraging both self-owned and partner manufacturing capabilities. The company operates an expansive NIO Power network, comprising battery-swapping stations, fast chargers, service centers, and NIO House/NIO Space retail sites, to support delivery growth and energy subscription services. While we acknowledge the potential of NIO as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

3 Reasons We're Fans of AutoZone (AZO)

Since August 2020, the S&P 500 has delivered a total return of 90.8%. But one standout stock has more than doubled the market - over the past five years, AutoZone has surged 237% to $4,001 per share. Its momentum hasn't stopped as it's also gained 15.3% in the last six months, beating the S&P by 9.9%. Is now still a good time to buy AZO? Or is this a case of a company fueled by heightened investor enthusiasm? Find out in our full research report, it's free. Why Is AutoZone a Good Business? Aiming to be a one-stop shop for the DIY customer, AutoZone (NYSE:AZO) is an auto parts and accessories retailer that sells everything from car batteries to windshield wiper fluid to brake pads. 1. New Stores Popping Up Gradually, Supports Growth A retailer's store count influences how much it can sell and how quickly revenue can grow. AutoZone sported 7,516 locations in the latest quarter. Over the last two years, it has opened new stores quickly, averaging 3% annual growth. This was faster than the broader consumer retail sector. When a retailer opens new stores, it usually means it's investing for growth because demand is greater than supply, especially in areas where consumers may not have a store within reasonable driving distance. 2. Elite Gross Margin Powers Best-In-Class Business Model We prefer higher gross margins because they not only make it easier to generate more operating profits but also indicate product differentiation, negotiating leverage, and pricing power. AutoZone has best-in-class unit economics for a retailer, enabling it to invest in areas such as marketing and talent. As you can see below, it averaged an elite 51.8% gross margin over the last two years. That means for every $100 in revenue, only $48.24 went towards paying for inventory, transportation, and distribution. 3. Excellent Free Cash Flow Margin Boosts Reinvestment Potential Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king. AutoZone has shown terrific cash profitability, driven by its lucrative business model that enables it to reinvest, return capital to investors, and stay ahead of the competition. The company's free cash flow margin was among the best in the consumer retail sector, averaging 10.6% over the last two years. Final Judgment These are just a few reasons why we're bullish on AutoZone, and with its shares topping the market in recent months, the stock trades at 24.2× forward P/E (or $4,001 per share). Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it's free. Stocks We Like Even More Than AutoZone Trump's April 2025 tariff bombshell triggered a massive market selloff, but stocks have since staged an impressive recovery, leaving those who panic sold on the sidelines. Take advantage of the rebound by checking out our Top 5 Growth Stocks for this month. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025). Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-micro-cap company Kadant (+351% five-year return).
