DJI gets serious about portable power
Unlike a fixed Tesla Powerwall solution, DJI's followup to the Power 1000 I reviewed last year is designed to scale in support of your day-to-day energy needs no matter where you go while also offering the fastest charging times for your DJI drones.
For example, you can take the Power 2000 along to a job site or weekend barbecue. Add solar panels and a few expansion batteries for longer car-camping trips or a vanlife summer, and then stack on a few more batteries when you return home to provide hours of home backup during the next blackout emergency.
The Power 2000 is built around a 2048Wh LFP battery and 3000W inverter making this a mid-level unit. It comes slathered in ports, including two 140W USB-C, two 65W USB-C, four USB-A, and four AC outputs (the US model swaps one jack for a 30A RV outlet). It also features a pair of DJI's dongle-loving SDC ports to fast charge DJI drones; add outputs like a 12V socket and inputs for solar panels; or to connect one of DJI's Super Fast Car Chargers to tap into solar and/or the excess charging capabilities of your car's alternator. All the ports can be monitored and controlled inside the DJI Home app.
For home owners, those proprietary SDC ports can also be used to daisy chain up to ten of DJI's existing Power Expansion Battery 2000 modules back to the Power 2000. That's an impressive 10:1 ratio for a power station (most are 2:1 or 6:1 max in this class) for 22kWh of total stored energy capacity. A typical US home consumes about 29.2kWh per day, but not every device is needed during a blackout. Vanlifers require far less capacity and power — I use about 1.6kWh per day in my own van.
The Power 2000 can pull up to 2200W from a standard wall jack to charge its internal battery from zero to full in about 75 minutes. It can be charged more slowly at a reasonably quiet 30dB if the noise produced by the internal cooling fans is a concern. In the event of an outage, the Power 2000 features a very fast 0.01 second cutover to act as a UPS for your most sensitive electronics.
By building its 22kg / 48.5lb Power 2000 systems around relatively lightweight (16.5kg / 36.4lb) 2kWh expansion modules and off-loading infrequently used interfaces, DJI's Power 2000 solution should be easier to move around than competing 3kWh battery systems from Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. Those devices, however, are more suited to supporting homes, even when those homes have wheels.
For example, the Power 2000 lacks a high-amperage output to directly power 12V RV electrical systems, and DJI doesn't offer a subpanel option that integrates directly into your house's electrical system to intelligently offset your energy costs. But these are tradeoffs I imagine many will happily make in the name of increased portability so long as they can avoid having to buy too many proprietary SDC dongles (which can easily get lost). And given DJI's rapid embrace of the category, I wouldn't be surprised to see those advanced options made available in the future as the company's Power lineup matures.
The DJI Power 2000 is available today starting at $1,299 / €1,399. Maxing out the system with ten expansion batteries will cost close to $10,000.

Narrowing the focus, while Fortinet has slightly lagged behind the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 13.6% gains on a YTD basis, it has significantly outpaced XLK's 22.7% returns over the past 52 weeks. Despite beating the Street's expectations, Fortinet's stock price plunged 8.4% in the trading session after the release of its Q1 results on May 7. Driven by growth in product and service revenues, the company's overall topline surged 13.8% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, exceeding the consensus estimates by a small margin. Furthermore, its non-GAAP operating margin expanded by 570 basis points year-over-year to a first quarter record of 34%, leading to a 36.3% growth in non-GAAP operating income to $526.2 million. Meanwhile, its non-GAAP EPS of $0.58 surpassed the Street's estimates by 9.4%. However, the company's full-year guidance failed to meet expectations and made investors jittery. For the full fiscal 2025, analysts expect Fortinet to deliver an adjusted EPS of $2.49, marking a 5% growth year-over-year. Further, the company has a solid earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters. Fortinet has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Of the 41 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 13 'Strong Buys,' 26 'Holds,' and two 'Strong Sells.' This configuration has been mostly stable over the past months. On Jun. 18, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Catharine Trebnick maintained a 'Buy' rating on Fortinet and set a price target of $125. FTNT's mean price target of $108.65 suggests a modest 3.7% upside from current price levels, while the street-high target of $135 represents a 28.9% premium to current price levels.

Trade war: Aston Martin outlines plan to beat US tariff hit as profits sink
Aston Martin Lagonda has revealed a plan to bring forward production at the beginning of next year as it looks to swerve a worse hit from US trade tariffs. The UK luxury carmaker said it was lobbying the UK government to improve the terms of its trade deal with Donald Trump. The company explained that, as things stand, it would have to ship more cars earlier than planned next year if it was to ease the threat to its sales and bottom line posed by the quota element of the agreement. Auto manufacturers had initially faced down a tariff above 25% from April. Money latest: Since 30 June, that US import duty rate fell to 10% but it only applies to the first 100,000 UK-made cars which enter the US on an annual basis. Aston said on Wednesday that the tariff chaos, coupled with weaker demand in China, meant adjusted operating profits for the year would roughly break even. It had previously forecast a positive result. The company, best-known for its models' starring role in the majority of James Bond movies, issued the annual profit warning followed a temporary halt to US exports amid the tariff chaos. It resumed shipments last month. The United States and China account for its top two export markets. It has not been alone in issuing a warning to investors over the anticipated pressures on sales. Aston Martin boss Adrian Hallmark described demand in China, where consumers are feeling the pinch, as "stagnant" in a call with analysts. "The evolving and disruptive US tariff situation was unhelpful to our operations in Q2," he said. Aston said it was reviewing its supply chain to reduce possible negative impacts such as disruption to demand and distribution. It reported a 25% plunge in revenue to £454.4m in the six months to 30 June compared to the same period last year. Its core profit measure was in the red to the tune of £121.5m. That was 22% up on a £99.8m loss. Mr Hallmark said the financial performance also reflected fewer planned deliveries of its Specials models. The company is preparing for the first customer deliveries of Valhalla, its first mid-engine plug-in hybrid electric supercar. That is expected in the final quarter of the year. Shares have lost almost a third of their value in the year to date and were 5% down on Wednesday morning.

Uber Technologies Stock: Is Wall Street Bullish or Bearish?
San Francisco, California-based Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER) provides a platform that allows users to access transportation and food ordering services. With a market cap of $189.5 billion, Uber operates the world's largest mobility platform with its operations spanning approximately 70 countries and over 10,000 cities across the globe. The mobility giant has significantly outperformed the broader market over the past year. Uber has soared 44.4% on a YTD basis and 36.6% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 8.3% gains in 2025 and 16.6% surge over the past year.

Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Narrowing the focus, UBER has also outpaced the sector-focused Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 13.6% gains on a YTD basis, and 22.7% returns over the past 52 weeks. Uber Technologies' stock prices dropped 2.5% following the release of its mixed Q1 results on May 7. Continuing its solid momentum, the number of trips through Uber's platform increased 18% year-over-year to 3 billion, which was primarily supported by an increase in monthly active users. Meanwhile, its revenues increased nearly 17% on a constant currency basis. However, due to a stronger dollar during the quarter, its revenues increased by 14% on a reported basis to $11.5 billion, missing the consensus estimates by a small margin. Its adjusted EBITDA increased by an even more impressive 35% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, and its EPS of $0.83 beat the Street's expectations by 62.8%. For the full fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect Uber to deliver an EPS of $2.90, marking a 36.4% decline year-over-year. However, the company has a solid earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street's bottom-line expectations in each of the past four quarters by a large margin. Uber has a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating overall. Of the 47 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 32 'Strong Buys,' five 'Moderate Buys,' and 10 'Holds.' This configuration is slightly less bullish than two months ago, when 34 analysts gave 'Strong Buy' recommendations. On Jul. 29, Stifel analyst Mark Kelley reiterated a 'Buy' rating on Uber and raised the price target to $117. Its mean price target of $101.58 suggests a 16.6% upside from current price levels, while the Street high target of $120 represents a 37.8% premium.
