New global research reveals a ‘social layer’ now shaping EV charging decisions, where word of mouth carries more weight than traditional navigation tools

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nine in ten EV drivers will detour to reach a charger someone else vouched for. That's the headline finding from new research by Driivz, a Vontier (NYSE: VNT) company and leading global software supplier to electric vehicle (EV) charging operators and service providers, and it points to a shift reshaping how drivers choose where to plug in.

The survey of more than 3,000 EV drivers across North America and Europe found that 91% would make a detour to charge at a location recommended by another EV driver, and 76% would avoid a charging network entirely based on a warning from friends or family. More than half (55%) said they'd travel more than five minutes out of their way for a recommended spot.

Put simply: recommendations aren't a nice-to-have anymore. They're routing traffic.

"EV charging has become much more than a question of where the nearest charger is located," said Shiri Levi-Laor, CEO of Driivz. "Drivers are no longer just asking 'where is a charger?' They're asking 'is there a charger I can rely on?' and increasingly, they're trusting each other for the answer rather than relying on traditional navigation tools."

When drivers need to find an unfamiliar charging location, they trust specialist charging apps (33%) and recommendations from EV-driving friends and family (32%) more than satellite navigation and mapping apps (27%).

The split runs deeper than a simple preference. Among drivers who trust specialist apps, 81% don't also count navigation tools among their most trusted sources, and among those who trust word of mouth, 76% say the same. The findings suggest these are not simply overlapping habits; they're two distinct sources of charging intelligence operating alongside traditional navigation.

For charge point operators, the research makes one thing clear: a single session no longer stays a single session. Drivers talk, and increasingly, they talk in public, trackable ways.

79% would warn friends or family after a poor charging experience 76% would report the issue directly through a charging app 65% would leave an online review The upside for charge point operators (CPOs) is significant. Drivers are nearly as vocal about good experiences as bad ones: 42% say they're most likely to talk about a charging session that exceeded expectations, versus 39% who are more likely to talk about one that fell short. Reliability isn't just about avoiding complaints anymore; it's a direct lever for earning advocacy.

"Reliable charging experiences build trust, and trust increasingly drives recommendations, reviews and future charging decisions," Levi-Laor said. "For operators, that creates a direct line from operational performance to customer loyalty, and ultimately, to long-term network utilization and profitability."

The findings track closely with Driivz's 2026 State of EV Charging Network Operators Report, which found operators are already shifting investment toward the fundamentals that drive this kind of trust: 24/7 network availability (47%) and seamless authentication (43%) rank as the top priorities for improving the charging experience.

The business logic behind that shift is telling: 59% of CPOs now say charger utilization, not expansion, is their primary driver of profitability, compared with just 15% who point to network growth.

Read together, the two reports describe an interesting industry transition. As charging infrastructure matures, the competitive edge is shifting from how many chargers you have to how many drivers vouch for the ones you've already built.

The research also surfaced a split in how drivers evaluate their options. Younger drivers are the early adopters of this social layer and are more likely to explore new networks, lean on specialist charging apps and follow peer recommendations. Older drivers, by contrast, tend to stick with networks they've already trusted, favoring loyalty over discovery.

That gap matters for operators thinking about the next five years, not just the next fiscal quarter: the behavior driving the ‘social layer’ today is the default behavior of tomorrow's largest driver segment.

Charger availability and speed got the industry this far. What comes next may be decided somewhere else entirely: in the reviews, warnings and recommendations drivers exchange with each other before they ever plug in. The networks that win won't just be the ones with the most chargers. They'll be the ones drivers are already telling their friends about.

Vontier earns a Buy rating as earnings growth outpaces modest revenue gains, driven by margin expansion and aggressive share repurchases. Core EFS fueling business remains robust, supporting a growing installed base for higher-margin connected and payment products. Cost rationalization and SKU reduction are materially lifting margins, with full-year adjusted operating margin expected to exceed 22%.

Vontier Corporation (VNT - Free Report) closed the last trading session at $32.33, gaining 8.5% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $40.5 indicates a 25.3% upside potential.

The average comprises 10 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $35.00 to a high of $45.00, with a standard deviation of $3.27. While the lowest estimate indicates an increase of 8.3% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to an 39.2% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.

While the consensus price target is highly sought after by investors, the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable. And investors making investment decisions solely based on this tool would arguably do themselves a disservice.

However, an impressive consensus price target is not the only factor that indicates a potential upside in VNT. This view is strengthened by the agreement among analysts that the company will report better earnings than what they estimated earlier. Though a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't give any idea as to how much the stock could surge, it has proven effective in predicting an upside.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Here's What You May Not Know About Analysts' Price TargetsAccording to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.

While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?

They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.

However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.

That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.

Here's Why There Could be Plenty of Upside Left in VNTAnalysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For the current year, two estimates have moved higher over the last 30 days compared to no negative revision. As a result, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased 3%.

Moreover, VNT currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much VNT could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vontier declares regular quarterly dividend.

Vontier NYSE: VNT reported second-quarter results that exceeded its expectations, with flat core sales, higher operating margins and an increase in its full-year adjusted earnings outlook. Management said demand remained healthy across much of its portfolio, particularly in convenience retail-facing businesses, while the company continued cost-reduction and portfolio-simplification initiatives.

Total sales were $757 million in the second quarter, while core sales were approximately flat from a year earlier. The comparison included approximately 11% core growth in the prior-year quarter, according to President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Morelli. Orders increased by low single digits and book-to-bill exceeded one, led by Mobility Technologies and Environmental and Fueling Solutions.

Get Vontier alerts:

Adjusted operating margin increased 190 basis points year over year. Chief Financial Officer Anshooman Aga said the result included a net benefit of approximately 120 basis points from one-time IEEPA tariff refunds related to inventory sold in the prior year. Excluding that benefit, underlying margin expanded 70 basis points, driven primarily by Mobility Technologies.

Aga also said the timing of Vontier’s Teletrac divestiture, which closed about one month later than assumed in the company’s original outlook, added an extra month of contribution during the quarter. After adjusting for both the divestiture timing and tariff refunds, management said results exceeded the high end of its original guidance range.

Environmental and Fueling Solutions Leads Growth Environmental and Fueling Solutions posted approximately 5% core sales growth in the quarter, supported by double-digit growth in global dispenser sales. Management cited continued customer investment in new equipment, upgrades and replacement activity, as well as demand for more advanced forecourt and payment technologies.

Morelli said convenience-store operators continue to invest in new sites, retrofits and modernization initiatives. He also pointed to industry consolidation, which he said is encouraging operators to standardize equipment across acquired locations.

The segment’s operating margin expanded 240 basis points, including a 220-basis-point benefit from tariff refunds. Vontier said it is nearing completion of an effort to reduce its number of dispenser platforms from 32 to eight, with the remaining rationalization expected in the second half of the year.

New payment products are also gaining adoption. Morelli said nearly one-quarter of new dispensers shipped during the quarter included the updated FlexPay 6 terminal, which launched late in the first quarter. The company expects adoption to increase as retailers seek more unified consumer payment experiences and simpler technology operations.

Vontier also highlighted its asset-management offerings, which combine connected hardware and software to remotely manage fueling equipment. Connected assets managed through its applications rose more than 20% year to date, and the company brought more than 2,000 sites online during the second quarter for several existing customers. Morelli said Kwik Trip reduced truck rolls for service events by more than 80% through deployment of Vontier’s asset-management platform across its forecourt.

Mobility Technologies Faces Comparison, Repair Margins Remain Under Pressure Mobility Technologies recorded a core sales decline due to a difficult comparison with elevated vehicle-identification solution shipments in the prior-year period. Aga said that comparison represented about $25 million, or a 10-point growth headwind. Excluding that factor, segment sales would have grown by mid-single digits.

Segment margin increased 190 basis points, including a 20-basis-point tariff-related benefit. Underlying Mobility Technologies margin expanded 170 basis points to approximately 21%.

Management said demand remains strong for integrated payment, point-of-sale and asset-management offerings. However, certain migrations from legacy car-wash technology to the cloud-connected Patheon software platform are taking longer than expected, partly due to permitting. Aga said those projects are still in the pipeline, but some are likely to move beyond the current year.

Repair Solutions’ same-store sales were essentially flat, reflecting stable demand but continued constraints on technician spending. Segment margin declined 180 basis points, despite a 130-basis-point tariff-refund benefit. The business faced unfavorable price and mix, along with targeted investments in sales and its leadership transition.

Morelli said Repair Solutions “is not performing where it needs to,” and Vontier has hired Cameron Richardson, formerly of NAPA Auto Parts, to lead the business. The company is focusing on supplier management, reducing supply-chain steps, SKU rationalization, inventory costs and changes to its district-management organization. Management expects Repair Solutions margins to be around 19% in the second half.

Cost Actions, Buybacks and EKOS Acquisition Vontier delivered approximately $4 million in year-over-year savings during the quarter and now expects to exceed its prior $15 million full-year cost-savings commitment. The company said roughly two-thirds of the planned savings are still expected in the second half.

The company has rationalized approximately 1,400 SKUs in the first half and began a multiyear platform-rationalization effort within Mobility Technologies. Management said it is also using simplification initiatives and AI tools to improve research and development efficiency and optimize its customer-service footprint.

Adjusted free cash flow was $98 million, representing approximately 80% conversion to adjusted net income and about 13% of sales. Vontier ended the quarter with more than $260 million in cash and net leverage of 2.3 times.

Supported by free cash flow and proceeds from the Teletrac sale, Vontier repurchased about 4 million shares for $130 million during the quarter. Year-to-date repurchases totaled just over 6 million shares for about $200 million. The company increased its share-repurchase authorization to $1 billion and said its outlook assumes about $250 million of buybacks for the full year.

After the quarter ended, Vontier completed its acquisition of EKOS for $43 million in cash plus a potential earn-out tied to future annual recurring revenue growth. EKOS provides fleet energy-management software and is expected to generate between $15 million and $17 million in revenue in 2027, primarily recurring revenue, with mid-teens or better margins, according to Aga. Morelli said the acquisition expands Vontier’s connected-mobility offering for private fleet fueling operations.

Full-Year EPS Outlook Raised For the third quarter, Vontier expects sales of $720 million to $735 million and core sales growth of approximately 5% at the midpoint. The company expects mid-single-digit or better growth in Environmental and Fueling Solutions and mid-single-digit growth in Mobility Technologies, along with adjusted EPS of $0.82 to $0.86.

For the full year, Vontier maintained its core growth assumption at approximately 3% at the midpoint but raised the midpoint of its sales outlook by about $10 million, reflecting acquisitions, divestitures and a modest foreign-exchange headwind. The company expects operating margin expansion of about 100 basis points to more than 22%.

Vontier raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.45 to $3.55, representing expected growth of 8% to 11% from the prior year. It maintained its adjusted free-cash-flow conversion outlook at 95%, or approximately 15% of sales.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
AND OTHER INFORMATION

Core Sales Growth

We define core sales growth as the change in total sales calculated according to GAAP but excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to core sales which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period. Core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales growth provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales growth. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales growth may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance.

Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin

Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, costs associated with restructurings including one-time termination benefits and related charges and impairment and other charges associated with facility closure, contract termination and other related activities, and the related impact of certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations (“Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments”), transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, and other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results (“Other charges”). Adjusted operating profit margin refers to adjusted operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments, including the tax effect of these adjustments and other tax adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our estimated adjusted effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share refers to adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations calculated according to GAAP but excluding capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow refers to free cash flow adjusted for cash received from the sale of property, plant and equipment and cash paid for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs and Other charges. Adjusted free cash flow conversion refers to adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Net Leverage Ratio, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA adjusted for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments. Net leverage ratio refers to net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of the projected Core Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Vontier Corporation (VNT - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 6, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.82 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +3.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $800 million, up 3.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Vontier?For Vontier, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.61%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Vontier will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Vontier would post earnings of $0.82 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.80, delivering a surprise of -2.44%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Vontier doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAnother stock from the Zacks Technology Services industry, Dave Inc. (DAVE - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $3.69 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +17.5%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $169.75 million, up 28.9% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for DAVE INC has been revised 2.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.42%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), this Earnings ESP indicates that DAVE INC will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

New national research shows Americans are redefining convenience‑store loyalty around two expectations at once: faster, more seamless transactions and small rewards that deliver an immediate emotional payoff.

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New national research from Vontier (NYSE: VNT) reveals Americans are quietly rewriting the rules of roadside retail. Consumers are reshaping the convenience-store visit in real time – demanding less friction and more value in the experience.

A survey of more than 600 U.S. drivers shows that nearly half (47%) of respondents want the ability to purchase snacks, beverages and everyday essentials directly at the fuel pump or EV charger. This marks the rise of Order at the Pump – the ‘Amazon‑ification’ of the forecourt, where every pump is expected to behave like a drive‑thru without the lane, the window or the wait. What used to be a quick errand is becoming a near‑instant interaction.

But the story doesn’t end with speed. It begins with an interesting contradiction. Even as drivers look to bypass the store, they are not abandoning what the store provides. They want fewer steps, fewer delays and fewer interactions – but still expect the stop to feel rewarding, personal and worth returning to. Customers are separating the transaction from the experience and expecting both to be delivered in new ways.

This duality builds directly on Vontier’s earlier research, which found that frequent visitors are motivated by identity – by feeling known, recognized and at home. The new findings show that identity and efficiency are not competing forces, but complementary expectations that C‑store operators must address. Today's consumers expect operators to cater to two distinct types of visits seamlessly:

a fast, low‑interaction mode when they’re in a hurry, and a reward‑seeking mode where recognition and small perks matter. The operators who win will deliver both.

Speed remains non-negotiable. Over 90% of drivers spend less than ten minutes on site, and 44% spend fewer than five. Reliability is equally decisive: seven in ten drivers say dependable payment and fueling systems are extremely important in determining where they return.

Simultaneously, small, immediate rewards are rising in importance. More than half of drivers say free coffee or snacks make a loyalty program more appealing, with even stronger responses among Millennials and Gen Z. This dopamine perk signals that emotional rewards are becoming the new battleground for loyalty.

Taken together, these trends point to a new model of convenience retail in which the forecourt becomes the primary interface for the entire visit:

Transactions must be fast and nearly invisible; loyalty must feel instant, personal and emotionally rewarding; stops are becoming shorter; the car is becoming the checkout point; and the experience remains something customers want to return to. “Drivers are setting a new standard for routine stops,” said Mark Morelli, CEO of Vontier. “They expect the same speed and simplicity they get from digital experiences but still respond to the small details that make an in-store visit feel rewarding. The opportunity for retailers is to deliver both – fast, seamless transactions alongside experiences that customers actually look forward to.”

The survey findings illustrate how these expectations are reshaping convenience store loyalty across visit behavior, transaction flow and rewards.

Vontier’s portfolio of convenience retail and mobility technologies helps operators meet these expectations by connecting transactions, payments and loyalty across the forecourt and in‑store environment. By reducing friction at the pump and charger while enabling integrated rewards, Vontier solutions allow retailers to deliver faster visits without losing the elements that create repeat behavior.

As convenience retail continues to evolve, the operators who succeed will be those who can resolve the central tension of the modern visit: making it shorter, simpler and more rewarding at the same time.

Mobility technology company publishes 2026 Sustainability Report, reduces Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 49%, achieves best-in-class safety metrics

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vontier (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, today released its 2026 Sustainability Report, highlighting the company's success in delivering on its mission to mobilize the future to create a better world.

Among the key findings: Vontier has reduced its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 49%, surpassing its 2030 target five years ahead of schedule. The company is now setting an accelerated target of a 65% absolute reduction by 2030.

In addition to its climate achievements, Vontier reached its 2030 waste diversion goal early by diverting 91% of manufacturing site waste from landfills. The company also generated $8.4 million in operational cost savings via internal efficiency initiatives.

Vontier serves as a connective layer across the mobility economy, helping customers in convenience retail, fleet solutions and automotive repair navigate simultaneous digital and energy transitions – removing what the company calls the ‘complexity tax’ on productivity and progress.

“Vontier sits at the intersection of mobility and technology, and we use that position to help enable a multi-energy future,” said Mark Morelli, President and CEO of Vontier. “In 2025, we achieved a major milestone of reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 49%, five years ahead of our 2030 target, demonstrating what’s possible through innovation, operational efficiency and accountability.

“Reaching our 2030 emissions targets five years ahead of schedule is another incredible testament to the ingenuity and commitment of our global team,” said Katie Rowen, EVP, Chief Transformation & Operations Officer. “This step-change in our emissions wasn't traced back to a single project; it was achieved by tapping into the collective expertise of our workforce, customers and suppliers. Vontier’s next phase of growth is about scaling what works, deepening accountability and continuing to support customers through multi-energy innovations.”

Productivity at scale: Driving efficiency through VBS

Vontier's operational results were driven by the Vontier Business System (VBS), an enterprise-wide framework rooted in kaizen (continuous improvement) that turns operational complexity into frictionless performance. VBS connected employees, processes and technology to yield more than 200 completed kaizens globally in 2025:

Greensboro campus innovations: At Vontier’s largest manufacturing facility in Greensboro, N.C., a facility maintenance team member installed timers on more than 50 exhaust fans to ensure they only operate during occupied hours. Accelerated capability: Vontier continued to scale its VBS Ignite career development program to compress three years of business experience into three months, enabling participants to drive immediate operational throughput improvements. Modern mobility infrastructure: First-of-its-kind lifecycle milestones

Vontier meets customers where they are to transition legacy systems into continuous capability, deploying intelligent hardware and cloud connectivity to future-proof operations:

Industry-first assessment: Vontier became the first company in the world to complete an end-to-end lifecycle assessment (LCA) of a fueling dispenser based on its SK700-II model. Aligned with ISO 14040/14044 standards, upgrades identified through the process will help reduce customers' Scope 1 and 2 dispenser lifecycle emissions significantly. Alternative fuel infrastructure: ANGI Energy advanced its commercial fleet positioning in compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG), delivering fueling solutions that offer up to 80% lower fuel costs than diesel while reducing fleet carbon footprints. Scaling smart, connected systems

Vontier powers smart charging, energy management and customer engagement at scale, connecting forecourts to retail and loyalty:
