Vontier: More Than Just an Auto Company

# Vontier: More Than Just an Auto Company

The characterization of Vontier solely as an auto company is a bit misleading. While it is true that Vontier's vast capabilities greatly benefit the automobile industry, it is important to recognize that Vontier is primarily an industrial-technology company. Their focus extends beyond just automobiles, with three main units dedicated to Environmental & Fueling Solutions, Mobility Technologies, and Repair Solutions.

SoFi's Accounting Practice

It is worth questioning the accounting practice employed by SoFi, which involves marking inventory at the expected selling price and recognizing anticipated future profits before actual sales occur ("Inside the Loan Valuation Debate Roiling SoFi Stock," Nov. 20). This approach seems dubious, and it is surprising that such a practice is allowed. It should be noted that not all companies choose to employ this method.

The Importance of Vaccines

The impact of vaccines on modern populations cannot be overstated ("A Golden Age of Vaccines Is Here. What It Means for You," Nov. 21). Vaccines have significantly contributed to longer life spans and overall good health. In the past, smallpox outbreaks would claim the lives of one in three individuals during the 1700s. The absence of such deadly pathogen outbreaks in recent times has perhaps led some to underestimate the true dangers posed by viruses and bacteria. It is crucial to recognize their potential for causing immense harm.
