You can pivot this wireless smartphone power bank to charge an Apple Watch, too

The Vergea day ago
If you're firmly in the Apple hardware ecosystem, Kuxiu's K1 wireless power bank could be more useful to you than other portable MagSafe batteries. You can stick it to the back of your iPhone to keep it charged when you don't have access to power, but rotating the K1 90 degrees reveals a second built-in wireless charger so you can simultaneously charge an Apple Watch or AirPods with a charging case that supports that feature.
The K1 3-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Power Bank is currently available from Kuxiu's website in a 5,000mAh version that's discounted from $99.99 to $57.99, or a slightly thicker but more capacious 10,000mAh version that's discounted from $109.99 to $67.99. It can charge a MagSafe-compatible iPhone at 15W speeds (the iPhone 16 lineup can wirelessly charge at 25W using Apple's latest MagSafe charger) while the Apple Watch and AirPods charge at 5W.
If you're in a rush, the K1 also includes a USB-C port that can deliver 20W of power to your phone, earbuds, or any device that can be powered up with a USB-C cable. On the back you'll also find a pop-out kickstand so the power bank can prop up your devices while they charge, and while it features a ring of 16 strong magnets to hold it securely to your iPhone, Kuxiu recommends avoiding thick phone cases and sticking to MagSafe-compatible options to reduce the risk of the K1 falling off.

Data center owners urge US Treasury to keep renewable energy subsidy rules

(Reuters) -The Data Center Coalition, which represents data center owners including Google, Amazon and Microsoft, called on U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to uphold existing rules for wind and solar energy subsidies, saying they have enabled the industry to grow quickly and stay ahead of competition from China. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Tougher rules on how projects can qualify for federal clean energy tax credits could slow development of new electricity generation at a time of surging power demand driven by artificial intelligence and the digital economy. KEY QUOTE "Any regulatory friction that slows down deployment of new generation today directly impacts our ability to meet AI-era electricity demands tomorrow," the coalition wrote in its letter to Bessent. The letter is dated August 4 but was seen by Reuters on Friday. CONTEXT President Donald Trump issued an executive order in July directing Treasury to tighten clean energy tax credit rules, including redefining what it means for a project to have started construction. The industry has relied on the existing rules for the last decade, and advisory firm Clean Energy Associates projected this week that the United States could lose about 60 gigawatts of planned solar capacity through 2030 if stricter "beginning of construction" rules are implemented. BY THE NUMBERS Between 2017 and 2023, the U.S. data center industry contributed $3.5 trillion to the nation's gross domestic product and directly employed over 600,000 workers, according to the DCC. WHAT'S NEXT The Treasury Department is expected to issue updated guidelines as soon as August 18.

Tencent's Comeback? Analysts Just Raised the Roof on This Stock

Tencent (TCEHY) just reminded investors it's still a force to be reckoned with. After posting a 15% year-over-year revenue jump to 184.5 billion yuan ($25.7 billion) in Q2beating expectationsanalysts wasted no time recalibrating their outlook. The stock's consensus target price has now surged over 5% to HK$688, its second-biggest upward revision in five years. With Tencent closing at HK$594.50 on Friday, that new target implies nearly 16% upside over the next 12 months. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with VWAGY. The earnings beat wasn't a one-trick pony. Tencent showed double-digit growth across multiple business lines, especially in advertising, where AI enhancements are starting to pay off. This wasn't lost on analystsat least 16 of them now expect the stock to break past its 2021 peak, a level it hasn't touched since China's sweeping tech crackdown began. The bullish case? Tencent is no longer just playing defenseit's quietly building momentum again. One potential catalyst is set to drop next Tuesday: the mobile release of Valorant, a blockbuster title that could juice gaming revenue in the second half of the year.

5 Popular Stocks Still Worth Buying

When it comes to the stock market, the fastest growth usually comes from small companies, as they have room to run. It's a lot easier for a company worth $5 million to double in value than it is for one worth $1 trillion, for example. Check Out: Read Next: But just because a company is worth a certain dollar amount doesn't mean it's necessarily a good or a bad investment. Many well-known companies, for example, are up a lot in 2025 but are still highly recommended by analysts. Other popular companies have lagged the performance of the overall market in 2025 but still represent good buying opportunities. Here's a look at some big-time companies on both ends of the spectrum that might still be worth buying. Apple (AAPL) Price as of August 7, 2025: $220.03 YTD performance: -11.92% 12-month analyst price target: $233.11 Apple has been a market darling for years, but for the first half of 2025, the bloom came off the rose a bit. A combination of factors have created uncertainty for the company, which never translates to good results for a stock. Concerns over China, tariffs, sluggish artificial intelligence (AI) development and an overall unimpressive new product roster have weighed on the company. However, on July 31, Apple posted its biggest revenue growth since December 2021, putting the company back in the sights of analysts and investors alike, according to CNBC. For You: Amazon (AMZN) Price as of August 7, 2025: $223.13 YTD performance: 1.70% 12-month analyst price target: $261.03 The press has focused more on Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's extravagant Italian wedding than his company in 2025, but that may actually be creating an opportunity in the stock. As the largest online retailer in the world, Amazon benefits across multiple verticals as long as the economy remains strong. While, according to Forbes, concern over a potential recession and the effect of tariffs has held the stock back this year, discretionary spending has proven surprisingly resilient. Although the company might go through cycles, it's a long-term winner. Meta Platforms (META) Price as of August 7, 2025: $761.83 YTD performance: 30.33% 12-month analyst price target: $858.63 Meta Platforms has been on an absolute tear since Nov. 2022. After losing an incredible 64% that year, according to StatMuse, the stock has absolutely soared, gaining 188% in 2023, 67% in 2024 and over 27% YTD thus far in 2025. While those types of gains may scare off some investors, they're an indication of immense momentum and investors can't get enough. The company has been firing on all cylinders, tightening up cost controls, generating new and growing sources of revenue and focusing on AI, the buzzword of the 2020s. Analysts see continued success ahead for the company. Nvidia (NVDA) Price as of August 7, 2025: $180.77 YTD performance: 34.63% 12-month analyst price target: $183.38 Nvidia has been on a multi-decade run, making it one of the best performers in the whole stock market over the past 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-year periods. But analysts think there's no reason to get out now. In fact, some see the AI boom as throwing fuel on Nvidia's engines for years and years to come. The stock is notoriously volatile and got knocked down violently to the mid-90s in the April market selloff, losing more than one-third of its value. But since then, the stock has essentially doubled, showing the appetite investors have for this tech darling. *Victoria's Secret & Co. (VSCO) Price as of August 7, 2025: $21.63 YTD performance: -47.59% 12-month analyst price target: $21.60 Victoria's Secret gets an asterisk because while it is certainly a well-known company that hasn't performed well in 2025, it's also a much riskier option. Retail in general can be a tricky investment and specialty retail often goes through boom and bust cycles, the worst of which can send a company into bankruptcy. Analysts are decidedly tepid on the company's prospects for the next 12 months, but if you're a more aggressive investor, this is definitely a high-risk, high-reward type of stock. Caveats You should never buy any stock that doesn't match your investment objectives and risk tolerance. You should also never buy at stock based on a tip from a friend or a random article on the internet. Do your own research to find out what's really going on with a company's financials and future prospects and make your own decisions, perhaps in consultation with a financial advisor. Remember, even though the stocks on this list are by-and-large long-term winners, many now trade at lofty valuations and have appreciated sharply since the market's April lows. Invest for the long-term so you can recover from any short-term selloffs. Editor's note: Stock information was sourced from Yahoo! Finance and is current as of August 7, 2025.
