Analogue's 4K N64 has been delayed again, but only by a month
'Following last week's sudden tariff changes, Analogue 3D will now begin shipping next month,' the company explained in a post on X. 'We're absorbing the costs — your preorder price stays the same. No additional charges. Late August, the wait ends: reviews go live with everything we've been saving for this moment.'
Like its previous hardware, the $249.99 Analogue 3D is a modern console designed to play old games, in this case N64 cartridges. The new console can upscale classic games to 4K and includes multiple display modes to mimic the look and feel of a CRT display, and the company says that it supports 100 percent of N64 cartridges. It was originally planned for a launch in 2024, but has been hit with multiple delays since it was initially announced.

More than $360 million in CFPB consumer payouts 'at risk,' consumer groups say
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The reversal of dozens of enforcement actions by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has jeopardized more than $360 million in compensation to consumers allegedly harmed by financial companies, according to an analysis released Tuesday by pro-consumer organizations. The compensation relates to allegations of predatory practices by lenders, student loan servicers, money transfer businesses and others pursued by the CFPB in recent years. The latest estimate from the Consumer Federation of America and Student Borrower Protection Center adds to what critics of President Donald Trump's administration say is the mounting cost to ordinary people from his clampdown on the CFPB. The two organizations also said last month that the CFPB's rollback of regulations on overdraft and credit card late fees and the dismissal of enforcement cases would increase consumer costs by $18 billion. The CFPB's current leaders have said they are changing the agency's focus and have criticized prior enforcement actions as politicized and unfair attacks on free enterprise. The agency now says it can meet its obligations under the law with about 90% fewer employees. According to the analysis released Tuesday, recent CFPB actions to revise or cancel consumer payouts due from settlements dating back as far as 2023 with Navy Federal Credit Union, the lending arm of Toyota, National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts and the money transfer company Wise together account for more than $120 million. The authors, former top CFPB officials Eric Halperin and Allison Preiss, say these reversals cast doubt on dozens of other prior cases involving more than $244 million in further consumer payouts that the CFPB may have yet to approve or process, such funds arising from actions against Cash App parent Block and student loan processor Navient. Congress created the CFPB following the 2008 financial crisis to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive or abusive practices. A federal appeals court in Washington has yet to decide on the legality of the CFPB's attempt this year to dismiss the vast majority of its staff. Sign in to access your portfolio

Where Will Chime Be in 3 Years?
Key Points Chime stock is trading around its closing price on its first day of trading, giving retail investors a chance to buy early. It's reporting strong growth in a niche financial services sector. Management sees a large opportunity to expand its platform and its audience. 10 stocks we like better than Chime Financial › Every investor would love the opportunity to get in early on initial public offerings (IPOs). The earlier you buy, the better the chance to gain, at least in theory. That's not what always happens, especially today, when IPOs are very public indeed and often come with a lot of hype. Part of the problem is that most of an IPO's shares go to institutional investors, especially the investment banks that underwrite the offering. Retail investors get a chance to buy only after the stock is already on the open market, and with the speed at which stocks trade in the markets in the digital age, prices can run up quickly, making it unaffordable for retail investors to have any real chance at a low price. The good news, for retail investors at least, is that this model lends itself to price drops. IPO stock Chime Financial (NASDAQ: CHYM) is a great example. The IPO market has been quiet lately, and Chime was one of few exciting stocks going public in recent months. It priced its IPO at $27 per share, and the stock opened on the stock market at $43. However, it ended the first day at $35, about where it stands today, a few weeks later. Is this an opportunity for retail investors? Let's see where Chime could be three years from now. Equal access in banking Chime is an all-digital bank targeting lower-income clients with financial products to make their lives easier. It grew out of a desire to fill a gap in the banking system, which it says isn't favorable to the two-thirds of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck. Since this population isn't filling their bank accounts with lucrative deposits, the traditional banking system charges them fees in order to make a profit from them. With today's abundant technology, Chime's founders set out to create an agile and low-cost bank with a different money-making model that relies on interchange fees from credit card payments. Instead of investing in creating its own bank, it has partnerships with two banks that give the company a small cut for the deposits they get from it. Today, Chime offers a small but growing set of services, including savings accounts and credit cards, and it has 8.6 million customers. Of the 75% of transactions per customer in the first quarter, 70% were for nondiscretionary purchases, and 67% of account holders use Chime as their primary bank account. The target population is finding value with Chime. According to a 2024 internal company survey, more people making less than $100,000 annually switched to the company or opened with it for direct deposit more than any other bank, and 75% of Chime members say they will be members for life. They have 3.3 products on average, indicating that members are enjoying being in the ecosystem. Expanding access and its market Right now, management sees an $86 billion opportunity in serving the 196 million Americans who make less than $100,000 annually, of which it has a 3% share. However, it sees potential to expand its platform and its audience and envisions a market opportunity of $426 billion. It's still getting started, which is why it could be attractive for investors. Revenue increased 24% year over year in the 2025 first quarter to $519 million, and gross margin remained at 88%. It reported positive net income in the first quarter in 2024 and 2025, but it has yet to report an annual net profit. New stocks are generally risky, but it looks like Chime has a strong and innovative business model as well as the loyalty of its members. Three years from now, the company is likely to be a lot larger, with more customers and products. Taking that 24% figure as a potential compound annual growth rate during the next three years, it would have about $3.2 billion in revenue, or close to double today's figure. It could be profitable, and if it is, the market might give it a higher valuation, increasing the chance of significant stock gains. Should you buy stock in Chime Financial right now?

US travel bookings rebound for August, boosting companies' revenue outlook
By Doyinsola Oladipo NEW YORK -U.S. travel companies including air carriers United Airlines and Southwest Airlines and hotel operators Hilton Worldwide and Wyndham Hotels have issued a collective sigh of relief as budget-conscious Americans have started booking travel again after many put vacation plans on pause earlier this year. U.S. consumer sentiment rebounded in July from a shaky June, dinged by inflation, a weakening U.S. dollar, and President Donald Trump's trade war. That translated to a rise in spending, with travel companies seeing an uptick in bookings and now expecting stronger fourth-quarter revenue growth. Companies that primarily service price-sensitive customers or the domestic U.S. market have higher expectations for August, with some seeing the end of the third quarter as an inflection point for what has otherwise been a rocky environment in 2025. "Just as quickly as demand stepped down in early February due to this uncertainty, it appears that demand is now stepping up," United Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella said on a post-earnings call, saying uncertainty has dropped in recent weeks after five months of weak demand. Hotel operator Hilton echoed those sentiments, saying the freeze in corporate and business travel spending was finally "thawing." "Given our overweighting to the domestic market, we would expect to be an outsized beneficiary of any recovery in the domestic demand environment," said Southwest CEO Robert Jordan on an investor call. The company said demand stabilized in the second quarter, and its recent bookings showed clear signs of improvement. Most U.S. airline and hotel operators withdrew or cut their financial forecasts in April and May as President Trump's trade war threw the industry into its most uncertain time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, there is lingering uncertainty over how the economy will fare in an ever-evolving tariff landscape and with inflation still above the U.S. Federal Reserve's desired 2% rate. Super 8 motel operator Wyndham said that it was seeing more strength in revenue per available room, an important metric in the hospitality industry, in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Missouri, indicating steady demand from blue-collar everyday travelers. "In August, we'll see a stronger summer travel season," said CFO Michele Allen. American Airlines said it expects revenue to improve sequentially in August and September. Alaska Air Group Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Harrison said closer-in bookings are coming in stronger, with "very good" activity in August. However, the uptick in demand will be more evident for hotels and airlines in the fourth quarter. For airlines, "a continuation of these demand trends is needed as a catalyst for airline stocks" as weak demand for main cabin seats has forced airlines to offer sales to fill planes, Andrew G. Didora, Bank of America equity research analyst, said in a note. (Doyinsola Oladipo in New York; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)
