With the grand concept defined as “e: Dash BOOSTER,” the Super-ONE Prototype was developed as a compact EV designed to transform everyday mobility into an exciting and uplifting experience by adopting a variety of features that make the in-vehicle experience more enjoyable for customers. The name “Super-ONE” represents the aspiration of Honda to create a vehicle that transcends conventional norms and standards (“super”) and delivers customer value unique only to Honda (“one and only”).

In addition to excellent environmental performance and usability for everyday use, the “fun of driving” characteristics unique to Honda were pursued for the Super-ONE Prototype. By adding features designed to stimulate all of the driver’s senses to the “joy of driving” realized by sporty driving only small EVs can achieve, the Super-ONE Prototype offers customers an exciting and uplifting driving experience.
Leveraging the lightweight platform advanced for N Series models, the Super-ONE Prototype realizes sporty and nimble driving. In addition, its wide stance with extended tread, realized by prominently flared blister fenders, enables a stable and dynamic driving experience.

Moreover, Boost Mode, developed exclusively for this model, increases the power output to enable the power unit to fully unleash its performance potential, while also synchronizing the simulated 7-speed transmission and the Active Sound Control system to generate powerful engine sound and sharp gearshift feel, as if driving an engine-powered vehicle with a traditional multi-gear transmission. In Boost Mode, the Super-ONE Prototype stimulates the driver’s senses — including visual and auditory senses, as well as a tactile sensation of acceleration and vibration — offering an uplifting EV driving experience.  

The Super-ONE Prototype has undergone extensive testing on various road surfaces and under diverse climate conditions in Japan, the UK, and other countries across Asia to further enhance its driving performance. In July 2025, the Super EV Concept, the concept model that became the basis for the Super-ONE Prototype, was exhibited and took part in a dynamic run on the iconic hill climb course at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025, held in West Sussex, UK.  With its powerful driving performance, the Super EV Concept showcased to the world the new possibilities of a new joy of driving unique to Honda EVs.

Honda is planning to launch the production model based on the Super-ONE Prototype in Japan starting in 2026, followed by other regions with strong demand for compact EVs, such as the U.K. and various Asian countries^*.

Royal Caribbean beat profit expectations and raised its full-year outlook, but revenue missed the mark, as customers are still waiting until the last minute to book cruises

Cruise operator Royal Caribbean Group reported third-quarter results before market open.

Royal Caribbean Group shares fell Tuesday as the cruise operator’s revenue again came up short, despite better-than-expected quarterly profit and an improved full-year outlook.

Consumers are still spending on affordable luxuries such as cruises, Royal Caribbean (RCL) said, noting that demand is accelerating. The company also saw higher-than-expected close-in demand during the third quarter, indicating that consumers waited till the last minute to make bookings.

Last month, rival Carnival Corp.’s (CCL) third-quarter results broke several records amid strong cruise demand.

In a statement, Royal Caribbean Chief Executive Jason Liberty highlighted the company’s “strong booked position,” which he said gives it confidence about 2026 and beyond.

“Consumers continue to prioritize experiences and make room in their budgets for meaningful vacations,” Liberty said during a conference call to discuss the results. Citing Royal Caribbean’s research, the CEO added that roughly three-quarters of consumers intend to spend the same or more on vacations over the next 12 months, a level that has remained consistent for several quarters.

Third-quarter revenue rose to $5.14 billion from $4.89 billion in the prior year’s quarter, but that was just below the average analyst revenue estimate compiled by FactSet of $5.17 billion. That marked the fifth straight quarterly revenue miss.

Investors didn’t seem happy, as Royal Caribbean’s stock fell nearly 9% on Tuesday. Ahead of the results, the stock had already fallen 12.5% since it closed at a record $365.84 on Aug. 28.

Within the company’s total revenue, passenger-ticket revenue rose 4.8% to $3.64 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were looking for $3.66 billion. Onboard and other revenue rose 6.1% to $1.502 billion, just above the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.498 billion.

Net yields, a measure of revenue per available cruise day, rose 2.8%, but that was below expectations for a 3.2% increase.

Net income for the quarter rose to $1.58 billion from $1.11 billion in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Adjusted earnings per share, which excludes special items, rose to $5.75 from $5.20, beating the FactSet consensus estimate of $5.69.

For 2025, Royal Caribbean raised its adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $15.58 to $15.63 from its prior guidance of a range of $15.41 to $15.55. The company maintained its full-year outlook for net yields, which are expected to increase 3.5% to 4%.

For the fourth quarter, Royal Caribbean expects adjusted earnings between $2.74 and $2.79, below the FactSet consensus estimate of $2.90. Net yields are expected to increase 2.6% to 3.1%, driven by both ticket and onboard spending. Analysts surveyed by FactSet are looking for a 3.9% increase.

The company’s results weighed on shares of rivals Carnival, which slid more than 5%, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH), which also fell about 5%.

Royal Caribbean shares have risen 26.3% in 2025, outpacing the S&P 500 index’s SPX gain of 17%.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based echocardiogram (ECG) analysis significantly improved STEMI detection, reduced false activations and enhanced recognition of nonconventional presentations, according to research presented at TCT 2025 and simultaneously published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. These findings support the integration of AI-based ECG analysis into acute chest pain pathways.

In one of the first large, real-world evaluations of an AI-based ECG model for STEMI triage in the emergency setting, investigators retrospectively analyzed the Queen of Hearts algorithm (PMcardio) in 1,032 patients with suspected STEMI who triggered cardiac catheterization laboratory activation at three geographically diverse PCI centers from January 2020 through May 2024. Patients were identified using activation logs maintained for ACC’s Chest Pain – MI Registry and ACC’s CathPCI Registry.

Index ECGs underwent both standard triage and blinded retrospective AI ECG analysis, which was trained to detect benign mimics and acute coronary occlusion. Of note, the reference standard was an angiographically confirmed culprit lesion with positive enzymes, and diagnostic accuracy, subgroup analyses and false-positive activation (FPA) classification were compared.

Of included patients (all ≥18 years old), 601 (58%) had confirmed STEMI. The AI ECG model outperformed standard triage by reducing FPA rates (8% vs. 42%), demonstrating higher index sensitivity (92% vs. 71%) and improving specificity (81% vs. 29%) (all p<0.001). Additionally, the AI ECG model area under the curve was 0.94, and it maintained consistent performance across clinically challenging subgroups, and reclassified 91% of biomarkers correctly.

In presenting the findings, Timothy D. Henry, MD, FACC, said, “These results indicate that AI-enhanced STEMI diagnosis at the first medical contact has the potential to shorten time to treatment and reduce false activations. This technology may be especially valuable in optimizing the transfer of STEMI patients from non-PCI centers to ensure timely and appropriate care.” However, he adds that moving forward, prospective implementation studies are needed to confirm real-world effectiveness.

In accompanying editorial comment, Mohamad Adnan Alkhouli, MD, FACC, and Abdullah Al-Abcha, MD, note the “remarkable progress” of the integration of AI into cardiovascular medicine. They add that the authors “should be commended for developing an operational AI model aimed at addressing one of the most complex and error-prone aspects of interventional cardiology practice – STEMI activation.”

Mondelez says it reached ‘peak cost’

Oreo maker Mondelez said it expects revenue growth of about 4%, versus a 5% growth projection it gave markets in July

Mondelez International Inc., the maker of Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers and Sour Patch Kids candy, said late Tuesday it reached “peak costs” and dialed down its expectations for the year.

Chicago-based Mondelez (MDLZ) said that it expected “challenging conditions” to continue in some markets, although it was encouraged by a recent moderation in cocoa prices and signs of a strong cocoa crop this year. Mondelez’s brands also include chocolate and candy maker Cadbury, Toblerone and Brazil’s Lacta chocolates.

“Our teams are focused on executing clear plans for volume improvement, significantly increasing growth investments, and driving meaningful cost efficiencies,” Chief Executive Dirk Van de Put said in a statement.

The company said it expects revenue growth of about 4%, versus a 5% growth projection it gave markets in July. It said its adjusted per-share earnings would drop about 15%, whereas it called for a decline of around 10% in EPS in July.

Mondelez repeated its assertion that the outlook was given “in the context of greater-than-usual volatility, including due to geopolitical, trade and regulatory uncertainty and commodity prices.” It added that it also does not reflect any potential tariff changes to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.

Revenues rose in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa but declined in North America, Mondelez said. The company reported adjusted earnings of 73 cents a share on revenue of $9.7 billion, right around Wall Street expectations.

The stock dived nearly 5% in the after-hours session Tuesday, after ending the regular trading day down 2.4%.
