Amazon's Big Spring Sale has the juice, and that's not just because the mega retailer boasts powerful deals. Amazon is selling a portable power station right now — and it just so happens to be almost 50% off.
The DJI Power 1000 2,200W Portable Power Station with Air 3 DSC Cable is on sale for $521 with the help of a $500 on-page coupon at Amazon, earning you 49% off the original $1,021 price tag. This potent product has 300-plus five-star ratings and shoppers say it's 'hard to beat for the price.' There are other DJI options that are also on sale at Amazon, but they don't feature as great a deal or include all the bells and whistles of the aforementioned kit.
What are those bells and whistles exactly? This power station comes with an AC power cable, SDC cable, and even a solar panel. The centerpiece of it all is the power bank though, as it has an incredible 2,200-watt capacity and can handle everything from kettles to microwaves. This makes it a great camping companion, which is only highlighted by its portability and built-in handles. Or, you can use this at home as a generator in case of an electrical emergency. No matter where you use it, this power station works quietly and can be fully recharged in just 70 minutes with grid power.
'The power bank is nice and portable and ridiculously powerful with a fantastic capacity,' one shopper praised. 'The build quality is everything I've come to expect from DJI and using it is easy and makes camping so much easier. I cannot recommend this enough for your power needs.''This is a great battery with a lot of capacity and charging ports. It's not too heavy and has really nice handles,' another reviewer said. 'I have used this during a power outage and it ran LED video lights for about five hours with three hours remaining. There's even useful information on the front display. This battery supports fast charging, so it doesn't take long to charge to 100% when using a regular house outlet.'
Amazon's Big Spring Sale wraps up on March 31, meaning the 49% markdown on the DJI Power 1000 2,200W Portable Power Station with Air 3 DSC Cable could end then as well. Add this powerful product to your cart ASAP just to be safe.

Is Frontier Energy (ASX:FHE) In A Good Position To Deliver On Growth Plans?

Even when a business is losing money, it's possible for shareholders to make money if they buy a good business at the right price. For example, although made losses for many years after listing, if you had bought and held the shares since 1999, you would have made a fortune. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt. So, the natural question for Frontier Energy (ASX:FHE) shareholders is whether they should be concerned by its rate of cash burn. For the purposes of this article, cash burn is the annual rate at which an unprofitable company spends cash to fund its growth; its negative free cash flow. We'll start by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves in order to calculate its cash runway. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. As at December 2024, Frontier Energy had cash of AU$14m and such minimal debt that we can ignore it for the purposes of this analysis. Importantly, its cash burn was AU$13m over the trailing twelve months. That means it had a cash runway of around 13 months as of December 2024. While that cash runway isn't too concerning, sensible holders would be peering into the distance, and considering what happens if the company runs out of cash. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time. View our latest analysis for Frontier Energy Frontier Energy didn't record any revenue over the last year, indicating that it's an early stage company still developing its business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. Over the last year its cash burn actually increased by 36%, which suggests that management are increasing investment in future growth, but not too quickly. However, the company's true cash runway will therefore be shorter than suggested above, if spending continues to increase. Admittedly, we're a bit cautious of Frontier Energy due to its lack of significant operating revenues. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow. Given its cash burn trajectory, Frontier Energy shareholders may wish to consider how easily it could raise more cash, despite its solid cash runway. Generally speaking, a listed business can raise new cash through issuing shares or taking on debt. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate). Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$103m, Frontier Energy's AU$13m in cash burn equates to about 13% of its market value. As a result, we'd venture that the company could raise more cash for growth without much trouble, albeit at the cost of some dilution. Even though its increasing cash burn makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought Frontier Energy's cash burn relative to its market cap was relatively promising. We don't think its cash burn is particularly problematic, but after considering the range of factors in this article, we do think shareholders should be monitoring how it changes over time. Separately, we looked at different risks affecting the company and spotted 6 warning signs for Frontier Energy (of which 3 are concerning!) you should know about. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.

The "Magnificent Seven" Are Still Growing Faster Than the Rest of the S&P 500. Here's When That Could Change, According to Wall Street Analysts.

The "Magnificent Seven" produced far better earnings growth than the rest of the market in the first quarter. Amazon and Alphabet were the biggest contributors to the outperformance. Investors will have to consider valuation as the rest of the market catches up with the Magnificent Seven. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has produced phenomenal returns over the last two and a half years since the bottom of the 2022 bear market. The index is up nearly 70% since Oct. 2022, but much of that gain has been driven by just a handful of stocks. The "Magnificent Seven" have, for the most part, outperformed the benchmark over that period, and there's a clear reason why. As a group, the Magnificent Seven have produced much better earnings growth than the rest of the S&P 500. Not only that, they've consistently beaten high earnings expectations. That trend continued in the first quarter, but analysts are starting to think their phenomenal run of outperforming everything else in the market may come to an end soon. Here's what investors need to know. After Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) released its quarterly earnings on May 28, FactSet reported the Magnificent Seven grew earnings 27.7% in aggregate. That massively outperformed analysts' expectations of 16.0% earnings growth for the group. Here's how it breaks down: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN): $1.59 earnings per share (EPS) vs. $1.36 expected, up 62% year over year. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL): $2.81 EPS vs. $2.01 expected, up 49% year over year. Meta Platforms: $6.43 EPS vs. $5.22 expected, up 37% year over year. Nvidia: $0.81 EPS vs. $0.75 expected, up 33% year over year. Microsoft: $3.46 EPS vs. $3.22 expected, up 18% year over year. Apple: $1.65 EPS vs. $1.62 expected, up 8% year over year. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA): $0.27 EPS vs. $0.41 expected, down 40% year over year. Six out of the seven outperformed expectations, and five of them grew earnings faster than the other 493 companies in the S&P 500 (9.4%). But as you can see, the level of outperformance and year-over-year growth varies widely from company to company. The weakest showing was most obviously from Tesla, which has suffered from political backlash against CEO Elon Musk, combined with rising competition from Chinese automaker BYD. As a result, deliveries dropped 13% year over year in the first quarter while average selling price also declined. The company's ramp-up in AI spending to support its forthcoming autonomous vehicle efforts also weighed on earnings results. On the other side of the spectrum, Amazon and Alphabet exhibited impressive earnings growth on the back of their cloud-computing businesses. Amazon Web Services grew sales 17% year over year, while its margin expanded to 39.5% (up from 37.6% a year ago). Google Cloud grew sales 28% with its operating margin expanding to 17.8% from 9.4% a year ago. The high-margin Google advertising business continued to produce strong growth as well. Nvidia felt the pain of restrictions on sales of its GPUs to China, but the company still managed to produce very strong earnings growth last quarter. Without the impact of the write-off in excess inventory and purchase obligations of its H20 GPUs designed for China and the related tax impact, earnings growth would have been 57% . Though Tesla is the only one showing weakness at the moment, the rest of the group's outperformance isn't going to last forever. While analysts expect the group to continue beating the rest of the market in terms of earnings growth through the end of 2025, difficult comparisons and better performance among the rest of the stocks in the S&P 500 could present a challenge for 2026. As such, analysts currently forecast first-quarter 2026 earnings growth of 10.2% for the Magnificent Seven as a group, but the rest of the 493 companies will generate an average of 10.3% earnings growth. That forecast has some important implications for investors, even if it ultimately proves inaccurate (as is almost always the case for forecasts a year out). The first is investors will need to be more discriminating among the seven stocks going forward. We've already seen Tesla stock falter, and Apple, despite beating expectations, has seen its stock hit hard by tariff pressure. Even if investors expect strong results from one of the businesses going forward, valuation will matter more as earnings growth slows down. Alphabet is currently the only member of the group with a forward price-to-earnings ratio below 25 (it sports an extremely attractive 18.5x multiple). The second is that there may be a lot more growth opportunities among the smaller members of the S&P 500. While analysts expect growth for the group to continue trailing the Magnificent Seven through the end of the year, that won't be true of every company. It's possible to find those companies trading at a fair value despite strong growth prospects outside of the Magnificent Seven. Another option is to buy an equal-weight S&P 500 index fund like the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEMKT: RSP). The fund invests evenly across all 500 constituents of the S&P 500, rebalancing on a quarterly basis. That ensures you capture just as much upside from smaller businesses as you do from the biggest companies in the index. As the tide turns and we start to see more parity in the market, investors should expect a stronger showing over the next year (or longer) from smaller names in the stock market. Meanwhile, many of the Magnificent Seven are starting to look expensive relative to their future earnings growth prospects as analysts' expectations come down. It may be worth selling off some to invest in new opportunities.
