Conduent Transportation Implements EMV Contactless Payment System for Navigazione Laghi's Boat Fleet in Italy

Yahoo08-07-2025
One of the first contactless payment systems introduced for boat transportation in Italy
MILAN & FLORHAM PARK, N.J., July 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), has implemented a new EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) contactless payment system for Gestione Governativa Navigazione Laghi, the government agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport that operates a fleet of boats on Lakes Maggiore, Garda, and Como in northern Italy. This marks one of the first EMV contactless payment systems deployed for boat transportation in Italy.
Enhancing Passenger Convenience Through Digitalization
The new contactless payment system simplifies transactions for passengers by enabling tap-in and tap-out payments using the on-board validators with contactless debit and credit cards, as well as NFC-enabled digital wallets. This advancement modernizes the fare structure and facilitates the digitalization of payments, making travel more seamless and efficient.
Complementing the electronic ticketing system previously implemented by Conduent at ticket offices across the three lakes, this new solution enhances on-board accessibility, facilitating a smooth travel experience for the 12 million passengers Navigazione Laghi serves annually.
"Operating an efficient, passenger-friendly boat fleet is vital to the transportation network on Lakes Maggiore, Garda, and Como, which are some of Italy's most visited destinations," said Pietro Marrapodi, Government Manager at Navigazione Laghi. "As part of the public tender won by Conduent, we first introduced electronic ticketing, and now we've further enhanced the system with EMV contactless payment. This upgrade gives passengers more flexible ticketing options, ensuring a seamless travel experience."
Industry Leaders in EMV Payment Systems for Transportation
"Navigazione Laghi's adoption of contactless EMV payment systems reflects a global shift toward digitalized ticketing," said Jean-Charles Zaia, President, Transit Solutions at Conduent. "Across the world, transportation authorities are modernizing their systems, encouraging wider adoption of EMV payment methods. Contactless EMV solutions make travel easier for passengers while enabling dynamic and flexible fare management – key benefits of public transport digitalization."
Conduent fare collection systems are in use on more than 400 public transit networks of all sizes around the world. In July 2024, Conduent announced that it had launched a contactless payment system on the Venice transportation network managed by Azienda Veneziana della Mobilità (AVM).
Conduent Transportation is a leading provider of streamlined, high-volume mobility services and solutions, spanning tolling and advanced transit systems, which enhance the services provided by transportation agencies to benefit the citizens who use them. For over 50 years, the company has helped clients advance transportation solutions in more than 20 countries.

5 Stocks Ben Graham Might Buy, If He Were Alive Today

August 11, 2025 -- (Maple Hill Syndicate) I wish I had known Benjamin Graham in person. Graham was a hedge-fund manager, Columbia University professor, mentor to Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio), author and bon vivant. He's widely considered the father of the value (bargain-hunting) school of investing. Alas, I didn't know Graham, who was born in 1894 and died in 1976. But he lives on in his books, and in the investment philosophies of dozens of money managers (including me). Once a year in this column, I attempt to guess what stocks Graham would pick if he were alive today. The average return on my Graham recommendations, over 22 years, has been 15.1%. That beats the 12.4% average return for the Standard & Poor's 500 Total Return Index over the same years. Bear in mind that my column results are hypothetical and shouldn't be confused with results I obtain for clients. Also, past performance doesn't predict the future. Graham's Method Graham's stock-selection methods are set out in his books and other writings. For this column, I use a simplified version of his criteria. To qualify as a potential Graham stock, a company must have: Debt no more than 50% of corporate net worth. A stock price that is 12 times earnings or less. A stock price that is less than a company' book value (corporate net worth per share). Today very few stocks meet these stringent criteria. I'd like to draw your attention to five of them. Mosaic The Mosaic Co. (NYSE:MOS), based in Tampa, Florida, makes fertilizer, especially potash fertilizer. Its sales fell 5% in the past year, but have averaged 7% growth over the past decade. The stock is cheap, selling for 11 times earnings and 82% of book value. One reason it's cheap is that a lot of potash is imported from Canada, and Canada is slated to face a 25% tariff under the Trump administration's trade plan. Bank OZK From Little Rock, Arkansas, comes Bank OZK (NASDAQ:OZK), a regional bank with big ambitions. A year ago, I included it among my Graham-inspired choices, and it rose 24.8%. The rise surprised many people, since Bank OZK does a lot of commercial real-estate lending, including construction loans. Ever since Covid-19 drove many people out of office buildings five years ago, commercial real estate has been poison. The loan portfolio's make-up scares me a bit, but I have a lot of faith in the bank's chief executive officer, George Gleason. Meritage Just under book value is Meritage Homes Corp. (NYSE:MTH), a mid-sized homebuilding company with headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. It builds homes in ten states, most of them in the sun belt. I like that service territory as the South and West is gaining population. Debt is only 36% of equity at Meritage. That should help the company navigate its way through the current downturn in home sales, which is caused mainly by high mortgage rates. Seadrill Sometimes investors love energy stocks, and sometimes they hate them. Seadrill Ltd. (NYSE:SDRL), which does offshore drilling, is untimely. No one wants to drill under the ocean when oil fetches $60 a barrel. So, Seadrill has lost money in eight of the past ten years. Its stock, down 25% this year, sells for less than it did a decade ago. But if oil hits $80 or $90 a barrel, it would be a different story. I expect that to happen in the next three years, and I like this stock at its current valuation of less than six times recent earnings. Nacco Selling for only 67% of book value is Nacco Industries Inc. (NYSE:NC). Based in Cleveland, Ohio, it's a coal mining company that is barely covered by Wall Street analysts. Nacco has shown a profit in 13 of the past 15 years, and had a good year last year. The stock sells for eight times recent earnings. Last Year The past year has been an unpleasant one for the value approach. So, it's not surprising that my Graham-inspired picks from a year ago trailed the overall market. They rose 6.6% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Total Return Index jumped 21.1%. Two stocks -- Unum Group (NYSE:UNM) and Bank OZK (NASDAQ:OZK) did well, returning 33% and 25% respectively. But G-III Apparel Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:GIII) and HF Sinclair Corp. (NYSE:DINO) had small losses, and Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:BTU) shed 22% of its value. In 22 years, my Graham stocks have beaten the index 14 times, and shown a profit 15 times. Disclosure: I own Meritage Homes personally and for most of my clients.

Why Micron Stock Popped Again Today

Key Points Micron changed its guidance today, raising forecasts for revenue and profit. The company earned only $0.70 last year per share, but could earn more than $8 this year. Micron's free cash flow continues to lag reported net income. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › Micron (NASDAQ: MU) updated investors this morning with new guidance for its fiscal Q4 2025, which is currently underway. Shares of the semiconductor stock jumped 2.5% through 12:15 p.m. ET in response. What's Micron earning in Q4? Previously, Micron had told investors it would collect $10.7 billion in Q4 revenue, plus or minus $300 million -- so $11 billion max. Now, the company says it will beat that number, aiming for $11.2 billion, and potentially as much as $11.3 billion, and certainly more than $11 billion. Gross profit margins earned are also inching higher, with 43.5% the target instead of a previous guess of 41%. As a result, Micron is boosting its bottom-line forecast. Instead of $2.14 to $2.44, management says the company could earn from $2.57 to $2.71 per share. That's an extra $0.35 per share in profit. Management -- understandably -- tooted its own horn a bit, crediting "improved pricing, particularly in DRAM" for the extra earnings it expects to make, but also "strong execution." Is Micron stock a buy now? Once analysts get around to adding the extra $0.35 to their forecasts, it should raise consensus estimates to $8.17 for this year's Micron earnings per share. On a $122 share price, that works out to a P/E ratio of about 15 -- not a very high multiple for a stock that's now expecting to grow full-year earnings 600% year over year! All this said, Micron hasn't yet stated what its free cash flow for the year might be, and right now, it's FCF that's Micron's Achilles' heel (it's running about one-third of reported net income). Speaking personally, I'm going to wait and see that number before deciding to change my mind and declare Micron stock a buy. Do the experts think Micron Technology is a buy right now? The Motley Fool's expert analyst team, drawing on years of investing experience and deep analysis of thousands of stocks, leverages our proprietary Moneyball AI investing database to uncover top opportunities.
