- Merlin Announces Plans to Pursue a Civil Certification Strategy for Large AircraftMerlin, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRLN), a U.S. aerospace and defense technology company building the operating system of record for autonomous flight, today announced plans to pursue a civil certification strategy that sets it on a path to bring autonomy to large aircraft. Merlin intends to implement a phased, methodical approach offering opportunities for safety and efficiency gains. To concentrate its efforts on large aircraft, the company is withdrawing its small aircraft Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) application with the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAANZ), and will apply the technical foundation and regulatory experience it built there to the new program. New Zealand will remain Merlin's Pacific flight test center and demonstration home, and the company intends to begin commercial operations there.
- Toronto Stock Exchange Announces the 2026 TSX30, Recognizing the Companies Scaling into Global LeadersToronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire - September 9, 2026) - Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today announced the 2026 TSX30®, an annual ranking of the 30 top-performing companies based on three-year dividend-adjusted share price performance. The 2026 list delivered the strongest average returns since the program launched in 2019, with 785% average dividend-adjusted share price appreciation over three years-nearly double the 431% achieved by the 2025 TSX30. Collectively, the 2026 TSX30 companies represent $252.6 billion in total market capitalization, having added $225.7 billion in market value over three years. Topping the list for the second consecutive year is Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS), a technology company providing critical data centre infrastructure for AI, cloud, and hybrid cloud products and services, with a 2,590% dividend-adjusted share price increase over three years. Over the same period, Celestica's market capitalization increased from $1.9 billion to $59.5 billion (as at June 30, 2026), demonstrating how rapidly a Canadian company can scale into a major global market player. Celestica also joined the S&P/TSX 60 Index* during the three-year period covered by this year's TSX30. Beyond the record returns, this year's TSX30 tells a broader story of company-building in Canada, exemplifying how high-growth companies can successfully scale into larger, globally competitive companies. Four distinct sectors are represented among the top five companies, reflecting the diversity of Canada's public markets and the emergence of companies competing in important areas of the global economy, from critical minerals and advanced technology to energy and industrial capacity. "Just as nation-building is a priority for Canada, company-building must also be a national priority," said Loui Anastasopoulos, CEO, Toronto Stock Exchange. "The 2026 TSX30 demonstrates the potential of Canadian companies to grow, scale and compete with the best in the world. Half of this year's top performers are graduates of TSX Venture Exchange, a powerful example of how Canada's capital markets can help build the next generation of Canadian champions and support them as they grow into globally competitive companies." "Being recognized at the top of the TSX30 for a second consecutive year reflects the strength of our strategy, our team's execution and the trust our customers place in Celestica," said Rob Mionis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica. "We continue to scale our business by enabling critical AI data center infrastructure and advancing technologies in high-growth markets. This recognition is a testament to our people, our capabilities and our continued focus on delivering value for our customers and shareholders." TSXV-to-TSX pipeline helps build the next generation of global leaders This year's results demonstrate the strength of Canada's distinctive two-tiered public market ecosystem. Half of the companies on the 2026 TSX30 are graduates of TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), the highest number of TSXV graduates featured in a TSX30 ranking since the program's inception. The 15 graduates span mining, energy, technology and industrial sectors, including 11 of the 18 mining companies and both oil & gas companies on the list. Mining representation broadens across precious metals and critical minerals Mining companies account for 60% of the 2026 TSX30-18 of 30 companies-the highest number of mining companies in a TSX30 ranking, and up from 57% last year. Gold companies remain strongly represented amid continued economic and geopolitical uncertainty, with Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU) ranking second in the 2026 ranking with a 2,502% three-year dividend-adjusted share price appreciation. Beyond gold, this year's mining cohort is also more diversified than in 2025, with four companies focused on silver, three on copper and one on rare earths, underscoring the sector's depth and Canada's role in securing strategic supply chains. Critical mineral developers include Faraday Copper Corp. (TSX: FDY, +688%), Perpetua Resources Corp. (TSX: PPTA, +507%), Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA, +587%), and Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX: TMQ, +570%). Technology companies represented across AI, space, aerospace and digital infrastructure Five technology companies are represented on the 2026 TSX30. Together, they added $85.3 billion in market capitalization over three years, the second-largest contribution of any sector featured in the 2026 ranking. These companies delivered an average three-year dividend-adjusted share price return of 981%. Alongside Celestica, the featured technology companies highlight how TSX-listed companies across space, aerospace, defence and digital infrastructure can grow. MDA Space Ltd. (TSX: MDA) delivered a 617% return, alongside Hut 8 Corp. (TSX: HUT, +645%), Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX: FTG, +577%) and Telesat Corporation (TSX: TSAT, +475%). International energy growth and infrastructure investment drive returns Oil & Gas returns to the TSX30 in 2026, representing two of the 30 companies after being absent from last year's ranking. Tenaz Energy Corp. (TSX: TNZ, +1,463%) and Valeura Energy Inc. (TSX: VLE, +471%) added a combined $2.3 billion in market value over three years. Both have pursued growth through international assets, reflecting how Canadian-listed energy companies have the potential to increase their global footprint. Industrial companies also delivered strong performance amid increased investment in essential infrastructure and grid electrification. Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (TSX: HPS.A, +625%), Bird Construction Inc. (TSX: BDT, +738%) and CES Energy Solutions Corp. (TSX: CEU, +570%) together added $8.7 billion in market capitalization over three years. Elsewhere on the ranking, specialty materials producer 5N Plus Inc. (TSX: VNP, +1,243%) returned to the top five this year, while senior housing operator Extendicare Inc. (TSX: EXE, +466%) marked the Real Estate sector's first return to the TSX30 since 2019. Additional highlights from the 2026 ranking: Domestic roots with global reach: 26 of the 30 ranked firms (87%) are headquartered in Canada, with Ontario (15) and British Columbia (7) together accounting for 73% of the list. Scaling into major market indices: 14 TSX30 companies joined the S&P/TSX Composite Index during the three-year period covered by this year's ranking. Two-thirds of TSX30 companies are included in either the S&P/TSX Composite Index* or S&P/TSX 60 Index, reflecting the scale achieved by many of this year's top performers. Sustained performance: Half of the companies on the 2026 TSX30 are returning honourees, including six multi-year honourees: Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS), Bird Construction Inc. (TSX: BDT), Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (TSX: HPS.A,), Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG), Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX: TMQ) and DPM Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM).

- Universitas Brawijaya Forest operates thermal drone to strengthen fire mitigationMALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, Sept 9, 2026 - Although this thermal drone helps in detection, its flight duration is limitedlasting a maximum of about 30 minutes per flight. Conducting longer patrols requires additional batteries and a schedule of two patrols per week. Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Forest management is strengthening forest fire mitigation techniques by deploying a Matrice 30T thermal drone which capable of detecting hotspots from the air within the area. Muhammad Yusuf, the Coordinator for Forest Area Protection and Supervision at UB Forest, stated in an official release received in Malang City, East Java, on Thursday, that the technology assists personnel in obtaining preliminary information regarding suspected fire hotspots before field interventions are carried out. "If a hotspot is detected, we immediately go to the site to check. If a fire is found, it will promptly be extinguished," Yusuf said. The use of this drone represents a preparedness measure by UB Forest management to prevent fires amidst an increasingly drier dry season.Such dry conditions necessitate more intensive monitoring patterns. The team utilized the technology to monitor the area between August 25 and 27, 2026, yielding results when a fire was detected just outside the sitespecifically in the border zone between UB Forest and the adjacent to forest area. Nevertheless, Yusuf noted that findings from aerial monitoring remain a concern for personnel, as the fire could potentially spread into UB Forest if not addressed quickly. He added that the detected fire was successfully brought under control and extinguished. Afterward, personnel conducted a sweep to ensure no new hotspots emerged, including within the UB Forest area itself. Thankfully, everything is still safe; the team conducted another check using drones, and nothing was found, he said. In an effort to safeguard the forest area, management involves local farmers who cultivate the land through a cooperation agreement scheme.Rifqi Rahmat Hidayatullah, the Coordinator of Functional Position Group (KJF) for Education, Training, and Development at UB Forest Management Unit (UPT), explained that the use of thermal drones is one way to extend the reach and strengthen patrolswhich are traditionally conducted on the groundto detect potential fires. Foot or motorcycle patrols have limited range, he noted. He further explained that the Matrice 30T thermal drone is equipped with sensors which capable of detecting surface temperatures. When an area with a higher temperature than its surroundings is detected, officers can direct the drone to that location to inspect it using the device's zoom-capable camera. Yulianto Muji Nugroho, an Educational Laboratory Technician (PLP) at UB Forest, stated that in a single flight, the drone can cover an area of approximately 10 hectares, with a maximum monitoring range of about 500 meters. This capability allows officers to monitor a wider area from the air. In one flight, the Matrice 30T can cover an area of around 10 hectares, with a maximum monitoring range of about 500 meters of 60-80 ht. This reach helps officers gain an initial overview of the area's condition without having to manually sweep the entire site. “Although this thermal drone helps in detection, its flight duration is limitedlasting a maximum of about 30 minutes per flight. Conducting longer patrols requires additional batteries and a schedule of two patrols per week. he said. Due to these limitations, the drone serves as a supporting tool within the early detection system rather than a replacement for field patrols.Despite the use of technology, UB Forest managers recognize that fire mitigation still requires public awareness.
