ChargePoint Launches Safeguard Care to Proactively Ensure EV Charger Reliability
'ChargePoint continues to develop innovative solutions that ensure EV charger reliability, from anti-vandalism measures to monitoring our hardware from our network operations center. Safeguard Care further demonstrates our commitment to delivering a reliable charging experience,' said JD Singh, Chief Customer Experience Officer of ChargePoint. 'As the original manufacturer of the chargers, we are able to ensure the highest standards of service and support. With Safeguard Care, we are giving station owners and EV drivers peace of mind knowing that chargers will be in pristine working order.'
Safeguard Care, combined with ChargePoint Assure ®, is an ideal solution for charging providers with high traffic and distributed charging stations, such as municipalities, parking garages and workplaces. It is particularly beneficial for station owners who do not have their own dedicated staff to inspect and maintain their stations on a regular basis. Each Safeguard Care visit includes a visual inspection of the charging station and the physical area around the chargers, cleaning, minor repairs or adjustments if necessary, and a test charge to validate functionality after the completion of repairs. Any issues the Safeguard Care inspector cannot address on site will be escalated directly to ChargePoint support for follow up.

1 Incredible Dividend Stock to Buy Today
Key Points Coca-Cola's business looks strong enough to handle higher tariffs and other challenges. The company's brand name and adaptability grant it a significant competitive edge. The beverage giant also boasts an exceptional dividend growth track record. 10 stocks we like better than Coca-Cola › There is no shortage of dividend stocks on equity markets. However, they aren't all created equal. Some are likely to decrease or suspend their payouts when the going gets rough. Others haven't raised their dividends for years. Others, still, have very low yields -- while a high yield isn't everything, it can still provide some insight into a company's dividend program. The very best dividend stocks tend to avoid all these shortcomings. And that's why income-seeking investors should seriously consider Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO). The beverage maker doesn't have a particularly exciting business, but it is one of the smartest dividend stocks to buy today. A rock-solid business Coca-Cola has outperformed broader equities this year. One possible reason is that the company appears to have the potential to perform better than most if Trump's trade policies remain in place and are sustained beyond his administration. Trump's aggressive tariffs risk increasing manufacturing costs for corporations. Either they have to deal with heavy duties on imported goods, or they must ship their manufacturing back to the U.S., which is typically more expensive. One might think that would also apply to Coca-Cola, since it is a multinational corporation. Coca-Cola operates in nearly every country worldwide, but its manufacturing is largely localized. The majority of products it makes for U.S. consumers are manufactured in the country. Does that mean the company is entirely immune to tariffs? No, hardly any corporation is, regardless of its business structure. Coca-Cola imports parts and materials from countries abroad, some of which will be subject to tariffs. Still, Coca-Cola looks in a better position than most to handle one of the biggest economic threats Wall Street faces. More generally, Coca-Cola's business is resilient even amid downturns. The company is a leader in the consumer staples sector, an industry renowned for its defensive characteristics. People continue buying its products even when the going gets rough. One reason for this is Coca-Cola's strong brand name, which grants it several advantages, including trust and familiarity with consumers, consistent shelf space in grocery stores, and a degree of pricing power. Coca-Cola also has an adaptable business. Consumers' tastes can and do change. If Coca-Cola's portfolio of beverages had always remained the same, the company might have gone out of business by now. However, thanks to acquisitions and the launch of many new brands, Coca-Cola continues to stay ahead of changing demands and preferences. The company owns brands across virtually every major beverage category, including alcoholic beverages, water, soft drinks, juice, coffee, tea, sports drinks, and more. These factors explain why Coca-Cola has generated consistent revenue, earnings, and cash flow for decades. The company did experience a slowdown in the early days of the pandemic, but it was also able to bounce back from that. That should give investors confidence that, regardless of the challenge it faces, Coca-Cola can find a way to overcome it. An impeccable dividend track record Even before examining Coca-Cola's dividend program, the company's strong underlying operations and ability to perform relatively well, or at least recover, amid economic challenges, suggest that it can maintain its dividend in both good and bad times. The beverage maker's actual dividend track record further reinforces the point. Consider that Coca-Cola is a Dividend King, having raised its payout for 63 consecutive years. This streak is as old as some baby boomers. Some might worry that Coca-Cola can't continue increasing the dividend, given its cash payout ratio of 176% and a payout ratio that approaches 80%. Both look high, but they are not that abnormal for the company when we look at these metrics over the past decade. Coca-Cola has continued to grow its dividend despite that fact. Meanwhile, the company offers a forward yield of 3% is well above the S&P 500's average of 1.3%. Coca-Cola is committed to returning capital to shareholders via increasing payouts. The company's record in that department, coupled with a robust business that is resilient in challenging economic times and a competitive advantage thanks to its brand name, makes the stock a brilliant pick for income seekers.

Pacific Development and PGIM Real Estate Land $97 Million Construction Loan for Landmark Mixed-Housing Project in Santa Rosa
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Pacific Development – a prominent, west coast-focused real estate investment and development firm – and its institutional investment partner PGIM Real Estate, announced that they have secured a $97 million construction loan – from Comerica Bank, California Bank & Trust, and First Hawaiian Bank – to bring their latest multifamily and mixed-housing project to life in Santa Rosa, Calif. 'Santa Rosa is an exceptional, growing community that has so much to offer,' said Sean Murphy, Founding Partner at Pacific Development. 'We're proud to support that growth by delivering a community that serves as an extension of their existing success..." Share On-track to break ground later this week, the 396-unit apartment community, Madrone, will be the flagship of a three-phase master plan that will bring nearly 800 units – including for-sale single family homes, Class A for-rent apartments, and retail – to the community. The master plan, which was unanimously approved in November 2024 marks the largest mixed-housing project Santa Rosa has seen in more than 20 years, delivering much-needed housing in a historically undersupplied market. Proactive in its approach to address the community's housing needs, the City of Santa Rosa worked closely with Pacific Development to annex the former dairy farm – which was historically zoned as a county island within the city – into the city in late 2024. 'Santa Rosa is an exceptional, growing community that has so much to offer,' said Sean Murphy, Founding Partner at Pacific Development. 'We're proud to support that growth by delivering a community that serves as an extension of their existing success by enhancing the living experience for residents, while also fostering a greater sense of connection for the broader Santa Rosa community with features like a community garden, a city transit bus stop, a Class 1 bicycle / pedestrian pathway, and more.' 'The housing crisis in California is one of utmost urgency, and we're proud to be part of the solution by working closely with collaborative partners like Pacific Development, to address those needs in a meaningful way for our city, " said Gabe Osburn, Director of Planning and Economic Development at City of Santa Rosa. 'Obtaining entitlements in a mere eight months after submitting formal applications is a testament to the strong partnership between Pacific Development and City staff. Looking ahead, we're excited to continue that partnership by bringing this new, vibrant part into the cohesive community we've fostered here in Santa Rosa.' The new development will follow a similar blueprint that the same team – Pacific Development, PGIM Real Estate, Comerica, and CB&T – has delivered in partnership with Bill Poland of Bay West Group in the past. The team recently opened Launch, a 368-unit luxury apartment community in Alameda, Calif. Since opening in mid-2023 the award-winning apartment community – which led Phase I of the Alameda Master Plan – has already attracted strong leasing demand with plans to break ground on Phase II of the Master Plan later this year. The deal – which was led by JLL Capital Markets – is a particularly noteworthy vote of confidence given its successful close against today's historically challenging macroeconomic backdrop, where $500 billion in U.S. commercial real estate loans are set to mature in 2025, and an estimated 14 percent of such loans are underwater. 1 'Securing this loan in today's environment is a testament to the collective strength of our design, team, and collaborative relationship with Pacific Development and underscores these institutions' longstanding commitment to building futureproof housing solutions,' said Rob Mason, Managing Director, Transactions at PGIM Real Estate. "This transaction exemplifies the growing liquidity in the construction lending space to top tier sponsorship like Pacific Development and PGIM Real Estate,' said Charles Halladay, Executive Managing Director, JLL Capital Markets.
