About

Aptiv PLC is a Dublin, Ireland-headquartered (operational headquarters in Troy, Michigan) automotive technology company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: APTV) as an S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary component — providing automotive high-voltage electrical architecture systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), software-defined vehicle platforms, and vehicle connectivity solutions to global automotive original equipment manufacturers through approximately 160,000 employees in 45 countries. Aptiv was spun off from Delphi Automotive in 2017 as the technology-focused entity (retaining signal and power distribution, ADAS, and connectivity businesses) while Delphi Technologies (powertrain components, subsequently acquired by BorgWarner) was separated. At CES 2025, Aptiv showcased its Gen 6 ADAS Platform — featuring AI/ML-powered hands-free driving capable of handling 95%+ of highway driving scenarios — alongside 360-degree perception systems combining bird's-eye-view cameras with ultrashort-range radar, and advanced power distribution architectures designed for software-defined vehicles and high-voltage electric vehicle platforms. CEO Kevin Clark leads Aptiv's strategy of expanding from traditional wiring harnesses and junction boxes toward software-defined vehicle architecture — the migration of automotive electronics from domain-specific ECUs (electronic control units) to centralized compute platforms where software can be updated over-the-air — a fundamental vehicle architecture change that positions Aptiv as the electrical nervous system supplier for next-generation vehicles.

About

Toast was founded in 2011 in Boston with the mission of building an all-in-one technology platform purpose-built for the restaurant industry. Unlike generic point-of-sale vendors that adapted retail software for food service, Toast designed its hardware, software, and payments stack from the ground up around restaurant workflows — table management, kitchen display systems, online ordering, payroll, and inventory unified in a single cloud platform.\n\nToast's product suite covers the full restaurant operating stack: POS terminals and handheld order devices, kitchen display screens, Toast Go handhelds for tableside payments, online ordering and delivery integrations, catering management, payroll and scheduling, and xtraCHEF for back-of-house food cost analytics. The platform serves independent restaurants, multi-location chains, quick-service concepts, and enterprise groups. Its open API allows integrations with hundreds of third-party tools, and the Toast for Enterprise tier serves national brands with centralized menu and reporting management.\n\nAs of Q3 2025, Toast reported $1.63 billion in quarterly revenue, up 25.1% year-over-year, with annualized recurring revenue exceeding $2 billion and gross payment volume of $159.1 billion for fiscal 2024. The company serves more than 156,000 restaurant locations globally and trades on the NYSE under the ticker TOST. Toast's vertical focus and deep restaurant-specific functionality give it a durable competitive moat against horizontal POS vendors.
