Delivery drones may soon take off in the US, here's why
Agencies Delivery drones are so fast they can zip a pint of ice cream to a customer's driveway before it melts. Yet the long-promised technology has been slow to take off in the United States. More than six years after the Federal Aviation Administration approved commercial home deliveries with drones, the service mostly has been confined to a few suburbs and rural areas. That could soon change. The FAA proposed a new rule last week that would make it easier for companies to fly drones outside of an operator's line of sight and therefore over longer distances. A handful of companies do that now, but they had to obtain waivers and certification as an air carrier to deliver packages. While the rule is intended to streamline the process, authorized retailers and drone companies that have tested fulfilling orders from the sky say they plan to make drone-based deliveries available to millions more U.S. and Wing, a drone company owned by Google parent Alphabet, currently provide deliveries from 18 Walmart stores in the Dallas area. By next summer, they expect to expand to 100 Walmart stores in Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Houston; and Orlando and Tampa, Florida. After launching its Prime Air delivery service in College Station, Texas, in late 2022, Amazon received FAA permission last year to operate autonomous drones that fly beyond a pilot's line of sight. The e-commerce company has since expand its drone delivery program to suburban Phoenix and has plans to offer the service in Dallas, San Antonio, Texas, and Kansas City. The concept of drone delivery has been around for well over a decade. Drone maker Zipline, which works with Walmart in Arkansas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area, began making deliveries to hospitals in Rwanda in 2016. Israel-based Flytrex, one of the drone companies DoorDash works with to carry out orders, launched drone delivery to households in Iceland in Wing CEO Adam Woodworth said drone delivery has been in 'treading water mode' in the U.S. for years, with service providers afraid to scale up because the regulatory framework wasn't in place. 'You want to be at the right moment where there's an overlap between the customer demand, the partner demand, the technical readiness and the regulatory readiness,' Woodworth said. 'I think that we're reaching that planetary alignment right now.' DoorDash, which works with both Wing and Flytrex, tested drone drop-offs in rural Virginia and greater Dallas before announcing an expansion into Charlotte. Getting takeout food this way may sound futuristic, but it's starting to feel normal in suburban Brisbane, Australia, where DoorDash has employed delivery drones for several years, said Harrison Shih, who leads the company's drone program. 'It comes so fast and it's something flying into your neighborhood, but it really does seem like part of everyday life,' Shih said. Even though delivery drones are still considered novel, the cargo they carry can be pretty mundane. Walmart said the top items from the more than 150,000 drone deliveries the nation's largest retailer has completed since 2021 include ice cream, eggs and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Unlike traditional delivery, where one driver may have a truck full of packages, drones generally deliver one small order at a time. Wing's drones can carry packages weighing up to 2.5 pounds. They can travel up to 12 miles round trip. One pilot can oversee up to 32 drones. Zipline has a drone that can carry up to 4 pounds and fly 120 miles round trip. Some drones, like Amazon's, can carry heavier packages.

Europe Q2 earnings: Strong euro, tariff worries weigh but banks shine
Agencies European companies are proving they can just about endure U.S. import tariffs, eking out earnings growth for a fifth straight quarter, but at a slower pace than in the United States. According to LSEG I/B/E/S, second-quarter earnings are expected to have increased 3.1% from the same period a year ago. Just over half of the companies to have reported have exceeded analyst estimates, broadly in line with a typical quarter. Earnings from financials (up 11.4%) and healthcare (up 15.4%) are among the strongest growth rates but while the former is loved by investors, the latter is currently out of favour. Here are five lessons from Q2 earnings: European companies remain optimistic even though their Q2 earnings growth is substantially weaker than the big tech-powered 12% expected in the United States. 'Roughly 30% of companies have increased their guidance and very few companies downgraded guidance, which is surprisingly positive,' Maximilian Uleer, Deutsche Bank's head of European equity and cross asset strategy research, said.'We think this guidance observation is pretty important and the theme will continue as companies have better visibility on the downside risk,' Uleer added, citing the recent trade deal between the U.S. and European strategists bet that the dollar would strengthen, particularly against the euro, when the higher U.S. import tariffs kicked in. But the single currency has risen over 12% against the greenback this year and Europe's export-heavy companies have felt the pain. 'Larger companies are typically more globally diversified, they generate more revenues from outside of Europe and obviously with the euro strength, that's been a relative headwind for earnings for them,' said Rory Dowie, portfolio manager at Marlborough. Barclays and Citi estimate that, typically, a 10% appreciation in the euro results in around a 2% earnings headwind, with Citi pointing to sectors like materials and energy as the most sensitive to FX seven lenders in the STOXX 50 blue-chip index (.STOXX50), opens new tab beat expectations, and two improved their guidance. The sector index (.SX7P), opens new tab surged to its highest since 2008, as investors bet on the industry's resilience. Financials delivered the biggest positive second-quarter earnings surprise among European sectors, coming in 12% above analyst forecasts, more than twice the 5.5% rate for the broader STOXX 600 (.STOXX), opens new tab, according to LSEG I/B/E/S data. 'In Europe, banks have been the main driver of this season, whereas in other areas like autos and discretionary goods we're seeing sharp downward revisions,' said Alberto Tocchio, Head of Global Equity and Thematics at Kairos Partners. Still, after a 37% rally this year and the best three-year run since the euro's launch in 1999, some caution is creeping in. BofA has advised long-term investors to hedge exposure, warning that banks could be vulnerable if the economy slows. The European healthcare sector (.SXDP), opens new tab has posted Q2 earnings growth of 15%, second only to the technology sector, but investors are keeping their powder dry given U.S. President Donald Trump has mooted a 250% levy on pharmaceutical imports. 'We are very cautious on the sector despite the earnings growth,' said Deutsche Bank's Uleer. 'If we have certainty at some point, it's one where I could think of doing a double upgrade from underweight to overweight.' Investors are turning away from consumer stocks as weak results and cautious outlooks highlight the sector's vulnerability to tariffs and shifting spending habits. Companies from luxury to staples are struggling to balance cost pressure with fragile demand, especially in the U.S. - forcing tough decisions on pricing and strategy. 'Anyone exposed to consumption, especially services, is really being hit,' said Arun Sai, senior multi-asset strategist at Pictet, noting that the market has underappreciated how much the U.S. has already slowed. According to LSEG I/B/E/S data, earnings from consumer cyclicals such as carmakers and luxury have come in 8% below expectations, while the rate for consumer non-cyclicals such as food companies is 2%, less than half the broader market. Adidas ( opens new tab shares fell 18% over six days after it warned it may have to hike U.S. prices, while brewer AB InBev ( opens new tab fell 11% as weak Brazil and China demand hit volumes. In the luxury sector, Ferrari slumped 12% in its biggest drop ever after saying it would cut U.S. prices, while Hermes ( opens new tab shares dropped 12% over three days.
