On Monday, Shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN), gained 2.16% to $64.89, as some casino stocks get a boost from more tourists and a possible stimulus in gambling hub Macau.
Macau’s economy has been weighed on by China’s broader economic slowdown and an anti-corruption campaign that has driven away VIP gamblers, but a recent surge of tourists could contribute much-needed gambling revenue for the city.
The total number of tourists who visited Macau on Thursday and Friday, the first two days of China’s week-long Golden Week holiday, rose 13.4% to 327,186 from the year ago period, Bloomberg reports.

Shares of Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN), inclined 2.79% to $50.13, during its last trading session.
Delivering optimal battery life while reducing power consumption, Texas Instruments (TI) (TXN) recently introduced a highly integrated battery administration solution presenting the industry’s lowest quiescent current (Iq) at 700-nA with the buck converter, operating at 1.8V. The bq25120 features a linear charger, configurable LDO, load switch, buck converter, pushbutton control and battery voltage monitor all in one. The solution supports batteries from 3.6-V to 4.65-V, and fast charge currents from 5-mA to 300-mA, allowing wearables and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications to always be on without draining the battery.
Features and benefits:
- Lowest quiescent current at 700-nA: The bq25120 maintains an always-on 1.8-V operation using power path technology and a low Iq buck converter. A host microprocessor, such as a TI host microprocessor or Bluetooth® radio, such as TI’s SimpleLink™ Bluetooth Smart CC2640 wireless MCU, is able to continue running during recharging by not extracting “empty energy.” Designers can also achieve the longest battery shelf life as the solution features standby mode quiescent current of 50-nA.
- High integration: A configurable load switch/LDO output optimizes the system by shutting off rarely used functions such as radios and displays to minimize battery drain. The solution also comprises an integrated battery voltage monitor, enabling a state of charge indicator, buck converter and pushbutton control features.
- Industry’s smallest battery administration solution: The solution’s 2.5-mm by 2.5-mm WCSP package enables a small footprint making it easier for designers to integrate it into sleek wearable designs. For an even more robust solution, designers can incorporate the CC2640 wireless MCU as it is the industry’s smallest QFN package solution with integrated Flash for Bluetooth Smart.
Texas Instruments Incorporated designs, makes and sells semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers across the world. The Company operates through two segments: Analog and Embedded Processing.
