<ul>
<li>Plans to introduce hydrogen trucks to Southern California-based Toyota North American Parts Center fleet</li>
<li>Investments in hydrogen infrastructure to benefit trucking fleets and consumers</li>
<li>North American debut of Toyota's more efficient, more powerful Gen 3 FC system</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) today reaffirmed its commitment to a Hydrogen Society at the 2025 Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, introducing hydrogen-related plans, investments and debuting new fuel cell technologies and products.
At a keynote during the ACT Expo's Hydrogen Workshop, Toyota Group Vice President of Powertrain Engineering Jordan Choby announced plans to introduce hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric Class 8 heavy-duty trucks as part of an effort to reduce the number of diesel-powered tractor trailers servicing Toyota's North America Parts Center California (NAPCC). To support the new hydrogen trucks in the fleet, the company also announced plans for a new hydrogen fueling station to be built on the NAPCC campus, as well as plans to further invest and vertically integrate into the hydrogen ecosystem.
Toyota also debuted its next-generation fuel cell technology in North America, the Toyota Gen 3 FC system.
"Hydrogen as a fuel – and especially fuel cells – offer benefits that can make a positive change, and we are invested in their long-term success," Choby said. "We are investing in resources that we believe will lead to sustainable growth, both for our operations and the entire value chain in this still-evolving transportation sector."
With Class 8 heavy-duty trucks powered by fuel cells moving out of their pilot phase, Toyota will begin introducing production-level FCEV trucks to its logistics fleet, running routes from the Port of Long Beach to the NAPCC in Ontario, California, and even as far south as San Diego. The shift is part of Toyota's <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4414566-1&amp;h=1490518336&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.toyota.com%2F2050challenge%2F&amp;a=2050+Challenge">2050 Challenge</a> goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions from its supply chain.
"Our goals, capabilities to accomplish those goals and long-term mindset have put Toyota in a position to be a leader moving the global transportation industry forward," Choby said.
To bring its plans to life, Toyota is working with Air Liquide and Iwatani to strengthen fueling infrastructure. With Iwatani, there is an additional focus on commercial vehicles for a state-of-the-art station using new liquid hydrogen technology and SAE J2601/5-capable high-flow fueling systems. The high-flow system enables faster fueling than conventional hydrogen fueling stations, comparable in fueling time with diesel fuel pumps, and especially useful to fleet and commercial customers in helping improve operational uptime.
Toyota and Air Liquide will work together on sourcing and delivering hydrogen molecules from Air Liquide's dedicated hydrogen mobility plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada, with a focus on supplying the NAPCC station with reliable, affordable liquid hydrogen.
Toyota will also look to build relationships with other companies and organizations in the U.S. as well as those abroad.
In Japan, Toyota Motor Corporation is <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4414566-1&amp;h=4063463343&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fglobal.toyota%2Fen%2Fnewsroom%2Fcorporate%2F40388622.html&amp;a=collaborating+with+Chiyoda">collaborating with Chiyoda</a> on electrolysis technology, where they are combining their respective expertise in industrial products and plant engineering. Electrolyzers are devices capable of splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, the process to generate hydrogen fuel. Toyota is also looking to extract hydrogen from the methane byproducts derived from animal waste, wastewater treatment plants and landfills.
"Hydrogen is another path to energy independence, security and innovation, expanding how we can move people, goods, information, energy, and society," Choby said.
Finally, Choby provided an introduction of <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4414566-1&amp;h=156868976&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpressroom.toyota.com%2Ftoyota-develops-new-fuel-cell-system%2F&amp;a=Toyota%27s+new%2C+next-generation+Gen+3+FC">Toyota's new, next-generation Gen 3 FC</a> system for its North American debut at ACT Expo. The presentation on the new system outlined a preliminary arrival in the U.S. in or after 2027. The Gen 3 FC system has been designed with versatility in mind, with different sizes and power outputs for commercial, heavy trucking and passenger vehicle applications. The next-gen system is expected to be 20% more efficient and 20% more powerful than the current system.

Ant Group&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alipay" rel="noreferrer noopener">mobile payment platform</a>, Alipay, reported 100 million users for its tap-and-pay service, launched on June 7, 2024.
The service is available in over 400 mainland Chinese cities and supports over 5,000 shopping brands.
Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) introduced the cashless society to China with Alipay&#8217;s QR code and facial recognition function to facilitate payments, similar to Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Apple Pay, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3307968/alipay-leads-chinas-payments-apps-tap-and-pay-service-amassing-100-million-users" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> last Friday.

Alibaba and Ant Group founder Jack Ma expressed his conviction in the next two decades of Ant at the 20th anniversary of Alipay in December.
Ant Group boosted its global presence through its digital platform, Alipay+.&nbsp;
Ant&#8217;s early global strategy, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38641032/jack-ma-backed-ant-groups-alipay-broadens-payment-reach-across-continents-how-its-shaping-global-com" rel="noreferrer noopener">focused on Southeast Asia</a>, saw investments in Singapore&#8217;s 2C2P and South Korea&#8217;s Kakao Pay, which now facilitate their international growth.&nbsp;The company also expanded into emerging markets like Sri Lanka and Cambodia.
It established European partnerships, such as with Italy&#8217;s Tinaba and Nexi, and in the Middle East through Dubai Duty Free. They are focused on large tourism markets like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore while targeting European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern regions to continue growing their merchant coverage.
Prior reports indicated&nbsp;that Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) would enhance its&nbsp;cross-border remittance capabilities by partnering with Alipay. Separately, Ant Group tapped Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics to develop integrated circuits for the service.
On Friday, the companies announced a new chip compatible with every smartphone and can work in extreme temperatures from minus 40 to 85 degrees Celsius. Ant Group has placed orders for over 10 million units, with commercialization by the second half of 2025.
Ant Group initiated a global recruitment plan to work on potential breakthroughs in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and next-generation fundamental models.
Ma <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44745275/alibaba-bets-big-on-ai-with-new-cloud-tools-as-jack-ma-reemerges-in-company-comeback" rel="noreferrer noopener">relinquished his corporate</a> roles and maintained a low profile since Chinese regulators scrapped Ant Group&#8217;s initial public offering and initiated an antitrust crackdown on domestic giants, including Alibaba. However, he remains a shareholder.
Lately, Ma has frequently appeared at Alibaba offices as the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut eyes a turnaround and aspires to evolve into an AI powerhouse.
At Alipay&#8217;s 20th anniversary in December 2024, Ma emphasized the importance of AI. Ma also attended the symposium chaired by President Xi Jinping in Beijing.

Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) shares are pulling back during Monday&#8217;s session by 2.74% to $109.52 after the stock gained some 20% over the past week. The recent rally was fueled by a combination of favorable geopolitical developments, major defense partnerships and strengthening technical signals.
What To Know: Palantir recently broke through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44985750/stock-of-the-day-is-the-palantir-breakout-finally-here">key resistance level</a> near $97.75, reinforcing the stock's momentum and hinting at the potential for a continued uptrend.

Palantir's gains are also being driven by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44960295/palantir-shares-climb-after-northrop-grumman-collab-teased-on-x">expanding role</a> in the defense and government technology sectors.

TITAN, a mobile battlefield intelligence platform integrating Palantir's AI with advanced defense hardware, saw its first units delivered to the Army earlier this year.
Additionally, Palantir <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44972877/palantir-teams-up-with-google-to-supercharge-fedstart-bringing-ai-tools-to-us-government-agencies-on-secure-cloud">recently announced</a> a collaboration with Google Public Sector to bolster cloud security compliance for federal agencies via its FedStart platform, further cementing its position in defense tech.
Investors are now turning their attention to Palantir's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/earnings">upcoming earnings report</a>, set for May 5. Analyst consensus estimates project EPS of 11 cents on revenue of approximately $799.36 million.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLTR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palantir Technologies&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PLTR has a 52-week high of $125.41 and a 52-week low of $20.50.

LOGI

A Look at Logitech International's Upcoming Earnings Report

In 1976, The Wall Street Journal published an opinion column that ascribed an astounding revelation to one of the greatest minds in history. Albert Einstein was asked what he surmised to be man's greatest invention.
He didn't answer with the wheel or electricity. He replied: "Compound interest."
Whether he actually said that is up for debate, but the truth behind the quote is undeniable.
It sounds simple. It is simple. But most investors still get it wrong.
Compounding, Part 1: Interest on your interest
Compound interest is money's version of a perpetual motion machine. You earn interest not just on your principal, but on your interest. And then interest on that. Over and over.
It's how a modest investment return can snowball a portfolio into something impressive—if you let it.
But here's where many investors trip: they become obsessed with chasing higher returns.
Beating the market feels like winning. But building wealth isn't about winning annual benchmark comparisons. Given your risk tolerance and emotional fortitude, it's about growing your portfolio to its maximum potential.
Ask yourself: Would you rather beat the market in some years and end up with $1 million…or underperform in many years but wind up with $1.2 million?
You can't spend bragging rights in retirement.
Compounding, Part 2: Time—the hidden superpower
The longer your money stays invested, the harder compounding works as your silent partner in wealth creation.
Warren Buffett is unquestionably a skilled investor, but his superpower is time. He has been a good investor, a patient investor, for eight decades.
The time component of compounding is the rocket fuel that took Buffett's wealth accumulation into the stratosphere. It's why his first billion came after age 55, and 97% of his wealth came after his 65th birthday.

Charlie Munger put it bluntly: "The first rule of compounding is to never interrupt it unnecessarily." And how do investors usually interrupt it? By chasing higher returns. That's like taking a chainsaw to a bonsai tree because it's growing too slow.
Peter Lynch ran Fidelity's Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, posting an incredible 29.2% average annual return—nearly double the S&amp;P 500. You'd think investors would've made a fortune, right?
Nope. During that remarkable run under Lynch, the average investor in the fund reportedly lost money. Why? They bought in late after big run-ups, panic-sold after downturns, and sat in cash looking for a different "market winner" when they should have stayed the course.
They turned a compounding machine into a vending machine, and it ate their dollar bills. (The Magellan story is not an isolated tale. See <a href="https://cosmodestefano.substack.com/p/winning-the-long-game-investing-requires">here</a> for more on the prevalence of this investor performance gap.)
Compounding, Part 3: New money—the force multiplier
The most underrated lever in wealth-building isn't returns or timing. It's you. Specifically, your monthly contributions.
Let's say you start with $1,000 and earn 10% annually. After five years, you'll have a little over $1,600. Not bad.
But now imagine you also invest $100 every month. After those five years, your portfolio swells to nearly $10,000. That's a 500% leap — not from better performance, but from steady, boring, powerful consistency.
In the first 10-15 years of your wealth-building journey, how much you invest matters more than how well you invest.
But what if you could double your return? Here's how the math shakes out:
<ul>
<li>Save 20% of your salary and earn 5% annually, and your portfolio balance surpasses your salary in about 4.5 years.</li>
<li>Double your return to 10%? You get there just five months faster.</li>
</ul>
The early innings aren't won by clever trades or market timing. They're won by habit and hustle—those monthly contributions. (Later, once your portfolio has real weight behind it, returns start pulling more of the load.)
The wealth accumulation trifecta
Intuitively, pursuing the highest returns feels like the best way to maximize wealth. However, once investors consider the importance of both time and monthly contributions, they realize that maximizing annual returns and maximizing wealth are two different concepts.
To build wealth, you don't need to swing for the fences. You need to stack three simple habits:
<ol>
<li>Earn reasonable, repeatable returns</li>
<li>Let time do its quiet work, uninterrupted</li>
<li>Keep adding fresh cash every month</li>
</ol>
That's the trifecta. No gimmicks. No get-rich-quick trades. Just boring, beautiful compounding.
Don't let the early years of compounding fool you. They feel slow, almost like nothing's happening. But that's how compounding starts. Quiet. Invisible. Then&#8230;exponential.
Stay patient. Stick to your plan. Trust that compounding portfolio growth does work.
Review your investment strategy this week with these three principles in mind. As the current markets bounce around and headlines scream, lean into discipline, not drama.
While others chase performance like caffeinated cats in a laser pointer factory, you'll quietly build unstoppable momentum.
You don't need to be the first across the wealth accumulation finish line, but by embracing all three components of compounding, you can help ensure that you do indeed cross it.
As always, invest often and wisely. Thank you for reading.
