Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) is trading at $2669, marking a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-ethereum">steady rise toward the $3000 mark</a>. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has surged over 5% over the past week amid rising institutional interest, with BTCS boosting holdings, RWA tokenization on Ethereum Layer-2s, and a bullish price structure.
Blockchain company, BTCS Inc., has expanded its ETH holdings with a fresh purchase of 3450 ETH amounting to $8.43 million. The company's total Ethereum holdings are over 12,500 ETH, marking a 38% increase.

</ul>
CEO Charles Allen stated that Ethereum is central to BTCS's blockchain infrastructure approach. The company is enhancing the base needed to scale validator operations and boost staking income, while delivering sustained value to shareholders.&nbsp;
According to Cointelegraph, Real Vision founder, Raoul Pal, is pushing back at the skepticism surrounding Ethereum's future by calling it the "Microsoft of blockchain." He argued that traditional finance sees Ethereum as the clear base layer for tokenization, noting that firms such as JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) are highly unlikely to build on Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>).&nbsp;
Analysts from AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AB#NYSE">AB</a>) echoed the sentiment, crediting Ethereum's price recovery to the growing recognition that traditional finance has already tokenized billions in US Treasuries and commodities.
Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, has doubled down on his forecast that Ethereum could reach its long-term target of $15,000. According to the Bankless Podcast, Arthur said a US $10,000 to US $15,000 price for ETH is far from unrealistic, citing a shift in the market sentiment.
"Everybody thought it was dead, but the most hated coin goes up fastest in the next cycle," he said. Hayes added that Ethereum's comeback is natural after being overshadowed by Solana, while pointing to the Pectra upgrade as a positive catalyst.
Buyers have remained active near the $2440 level, where ETH has formed a base for an upward move. ETH price broke past $2500 and $2520, crossing the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $2615 high to the $2442 low.
A breakout above $2720 could push a rally toward $2840 and potentially $2920, or even $3000 in the short term. A failure to breach $2629 could trigger another dip, with the initial support at $2525 and major support at $2500.
With growing institutional backing, expanding layer 2 development, and bullish technicals, Ethereum is positioning itself for not just a break above $3000 but for a sustained rally that could redefine its position.

Ethereum Hits $2669 Amid Institutional Flows, RWA Tokenization Fueling Bullish Breakout

In the current session, the stock is trading at $41.04, after a 0.54% increase. Over the past month, AllianceBernstein Holding Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AB#NYSE">AB</a>) stock increased by 12.80%, and in the past year, by 23.15%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>AllianceBernstein Holding P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 28.67 in the Capital Markets industry, AllianceBernstein Holding Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 10.77. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746194428_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>) is just a &#8220;solid&#8221; company. &#8220;Sometimes stocks are just kind of just quietly going up, and that's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AJG">one of them,&#8221; he added.</a>
As per the recent news, Arthur J. Gallagher, on Monday, announced it has acquired the remaining shares of Philippines-based Philpacific Insurance Brokers &amp; Managers, Inc., or Philinsure.

Supporting his view, Raymond James analyst John Freeman, on Monday, downgraded Occidental Petroleum from Strong Buy to Outperform and lowered the price target from $81 to $64.

AllianceBernstein Holding shares are trading higher after Equitable Holdings launched a $1.8 billion tender offer for a 4.7% stake in the company.

Global life and health reinsurance entity Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGA#NYSE">RGA</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher in premarket</a> on Monday.
The company has reached an agreement with Equitable Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQH#NYSE">EQH</a>) to reinsure a wide <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43907362/rga-announces-reinsurance-transaction-with-equitable-holdings" rel="noreferrer noopener">range of life insurance products</a>.
Under the terms of the deal, RGA is reinsuring&nbsp;75%&nbsp;of Equitable&#8217;s in-force life insurance liabilities. The block includes approximately&nbsp;$18 billion&nbsp;of general account reserves and&nbsp;$14 billion&nbsp;of separate account reserves.
This deal is set up to allow RGA to invest $1.5 billion in capital at the closing. It is expected to generate returns within RGA&#8217;s projected range, while also providing a notable increase in the company&#8217;s adjusted operating earnings per share.
Furthermore, the agreement expands RGA&#8217;s partnership with Equitable across various sectors, including underwriting, product creation, distribution, and investment management.
&#8220;This partnership is an example of our capacity to provide creative solutions and technical expertise that support both sides of the balance sheet, and it is a prime example of how the execution of our Creation Re strategy can address our clients&#8217; current and future needs,&#8221; said Executive Vice President, Head of the Americas, RGA, Ron Herrmann.

The deal is expected to contribute around $70 million to adjusted operating income before taxes in 2025. This amount is anticipated to increase to between $160 million and $170 million in 2026, eventually stabilizing at around $200 million each year thereafter.
&#8220;Our strong financial position enables us to capitalize on this opportunity with Equitable, and the transaction is expected to meaningfully contribute to RGA&#8217;s earnings per share, with anticipated attractive returns on capital,&#8221; said Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, RGA, Axel André.
RGA intends to fund the transaction with surplus capital and, if necessary, proceeds from debt financing, contingent on market conditions. The transaction is set to close in mid-2025, pending regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
The deal is expected to create more than $2 billion in value for Equitable Holdings, encompassing a favorable ceding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43907593" rel="noreferrer noopener">commission and the release of capital.</a>
Also, Equitable plans to execute $500 million of incremental share repurchases, above the company&#8217;s 60-70% payout ratio target, following the close of the transaction.
Additionally, Equitable announced its intention to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43907646" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase its ownership stake in AB</a> through a tender offer to purchase up to $1.8 billion of units of AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AB#NYSE">AB</a>)
Price Action: RGA shares are trading higher by 3.55% at $196.11 in premarket at the last check Monday.
