Charles River profit forecast clouded by order cancellations from biotechs
Aug 6 (Reuters) - Charles River Laboratories' (CRL.N), opens new tab annual profit forecast raise on Wednesday was clouded by investor concerns about the higher number of order cancellations from clients, sending the contract research firm's shares down 8% in afternoon trading. The company's quarterly book-to-bill ratio – the number of orders versus those fulfilled – came in at 0.82x. Evercore ISI analyst Elizabeth Anderson said the ratio was below Wall Street expectations of 0.94x, adding some questions remain about demand environment in the sector. Charles River CEO Jim Foster said on a conference call that while proposals were higher in the quarter, cancellations from biotechs were also higher. Contract research organizations – including Charles River, Fortrea (FTRE.O), opens new tab and ICON (ICLR.O), opens new tab – have posted better-than-expected quarterly profit, reflecting a rebound in spending from pharmaceutical and biotech clients after a cautious stretch driven by tighter sector financing. Charles River's Foster, however, said that funding for smaller biotechs is still more cash constrained, due to the funding slowdown, and mid-sized biotechs are performing better, as many can support their R&D programs without external funding. "We are continuing to see clear signs that the biopharmaceutical demand is stabilizing, and in this environment, we are making gradual progress to return to organic revenue growth," he added. The Wilmington, Massachusetts-based company raised its 2025 adjusted profit forecast to $9.90 to $10.30 per share, from its previous range of $9.30 to $9.80. Charles River's overall second-quarter revenue came in at $1.03 billion, surpassing analysts' estimate of $985.1 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. On an adjusted basis, quarterly profit was $3.12 per share, above estimates of $2.50.

Our recycling scheme needs a change in culture to get real success
Voice of Real Australia is a regular newsletter from the local news teams of the ACM network, which stretches into every state and territory. Today's is written by The Land senior journalist Elizabeth Anderson. How many people collect their cans and bottles for the 10-cent container deposit scheme? In NSW, the scheme has been in place since 2017, 2018 for Queensland and the ACT, 2020 for WA, 2023 for Victoria, while Tasmania introduced it in 2023. I have spent the past 10 years living in South Australia, where they are approaching nearly 50 years of the scheme, and - after returning to live in NSW - I've realised it is not enough to change some legislation. If you want to get real change, it comes from changing the culture. In SA, most buildings and businesses would have special 10c container bins in place, for people to put their bottles and cans. My office had one in the kitchen, with the money collected going towards small treats like an office afternoon tea during Melbourne Cup or the first round of drinks at the staff Christmas Party. At the Lifeblood blood bank, there would be a special container for the flavoured milk or juices drunk after donating blood, with the money raised going back to supporting the services. But it's at major events where the real benefits lie. At agricultural field days - two or three-day events with thousands of attendees who all love to grab a can of coke with their steak sandwich - they would have large wire containers set up strategically on corners, where people could drop their empty cans or water bottles. These would then serve as a fundraiser for local sporting or scout groups. After attending a few major events recently where these containers ended up mingled in with general rubbish, I shudder to think how many hundreds of dollars were being thrown away that could instead be used to help put uniforms on a junior footy team or help support excursions for scouts. We all know 10c does not go as far as it used to, but combined, it adds up. An estimated 10,000 people all throwing away one can of drink (and it's never just one on a hot day) equates to $1000. Just setting up a receptacle for people to throw away trash to bring in $1000 seems a lot easier than selling the equivalent in fundraiser chocolates or raffle tickets! You can make the argument we should be using less waste in general, drinking less processed drinks and using reusable water bottles - all valid. But if we will have the waste anyway, let's make a few small changes in culture, set up waste containers, and put the money to good use.

What little difference two decades of 'roadworks' can make
Voice of Real Australia is a regular newsletter from the local news teams of the ACM network, which stretches into every state and territory. Today's is written by The Land senior journalist Elizabeth Anderson. A little under two decades ago, I was a young student from central-west NSW, attending university in Sydney. During that time, I had a lot of opportunities to make the trip through the Blue Mountains. I have memories of an Easter, stuck bumper-to-bumper while travelling up the Mount Victoria Pass, and another trip where traffic literally stopped, to the point my sister and I swapped drivers in the middle of the Highway. At the time, there was a lot of talk about investments and improvements that were on the way - there was certainly plenty of roadworks. For the past decade, I have lived interstate, so I have not had much cause to travel those roads. But since moving back to central west NSW, that has changed, with plenty of reasons to cross the divide to Sydney. I was fairly optimistic, even looking forward to what improvements might have occurred in the time since I last took on that road. And I couldn't identify any. Even the roadworks of 17 years ago seemed to be the same ones happening today. I attempted a count and between the edge of Penrith and Lithgow - a distance of about 80 kilometres - there were somewhere between 25 and 30 speed zone changes. I did lose count because they happened so frequently. This averages out at a different speed every 3km. And I'm not even counting those changes for school zones or road works. While some made sense, others just seemed absolutely arbitrary, with no discernible difference why this stretch of road needed to be 70km when it was just the same as the 80km stretch that preceded it. Given the number of cameras along the road, the cynic in me surmises this might be on purpose. I have been told that one of the most "successful" speed cameras in the state is at Mount Victoria Pass, raking in $2.2 million in fines every year. I wonder if the reason so many people fail to obey the speed limit is by the time they reach that point, they are so fatigued by trying to work out if they should be going 60km, 70km, 80km or 90km. While there have been some improvements in the city - the M4 tunnel going all the way to the city is worth remarking on - it seems the same focus has not been spent on investment for the major thoroughfare for central west and western NSW to access their capital city. This is not even touching on the number of major accidents that seem to happen along this stretch of road far too regularly. Surely, given the economic power for this part of the country, it's not too much to ask for some investment in a better journey on such an important road.

Zeta, Teladoc, Jamf, Dayforce, and 8x8 Shares Are Falling, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after a broader market sell-off triggered by renewed trade tensions. U.S. stock indices fell after the Trump administration announced intentions to impose a 35% tariff on many goods imported from Canada. This move is far more than a typical trade dispute; it targets the United States' largest and most deeply integrated trading partner. Canada is not merely a neighbor but a critical component of North American supply chains, particularly in sectors like automotive, energy, and critical minerals. This move has sparked concerns about potential retaliatory actions and a wider impact on the North American economy, leading to a risk-off sentiment among investors. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all opened lower, pulling back from recent record highs and heading for their first weekly loss in three weeks. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Advertising Software company Zeta (NYSE:ZETA) fell 4.9%. Is now the time to buy Zeta? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Online Marketplace company Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC) fell 5.2%. Is now the time to buy Teladoc? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Automation Software company Jamf (NASDAQ:JAMF) fell 3.9%.

Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Video Conferencing company 8x8 (NASDAQ:EGHT) fell 4.1%. Is now the time to buy 8x8? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Teladoc's shares are extremely volatile and have had 43 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 3.5% on the news that the company received a price target increase from an analyst at Evercore ISI Group. Evercore ISI analyst Elizabeth Anderson raised the firm's price target on the virtual healthcare company to $8.00 from $7.00, while maintaining an "In-Line" rating on the shares. An "In-Line" rating suggests the analyst expects the stock to perform in line with the broader market. While not a full-fledged upgrade, the higher price target indicates a slightly more positive valuation outlook from the analyst. Teladoc is down 12.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $8.36 per share, it is trading 41.7% below its 52-week high of $14.33 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Teladoc's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $38.25. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link. Sign in to access your portfolio
