Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as gold prices fall amid a rise in the US dollar index.

CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) has announced an all-stock purchase of Core Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) in a deal valued at about $20.40 per share, or roughly $9 billion, according to HC Wainwright.
The Core Scientific Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d94a96b85e930001fd9dd4/kevin-dede">Analyst Kevin Dede</a> downgraded the rating on Core Scientific from Buy to Neutral.
The Core Scientific Thesis: The acquisition transforms CoreWeave "from a tenant model to direct ownership of about 1.3GW of HPC-grade capacity, with another 1GW-plus of identified expansion," Dede said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The acquisition eliminates over $10 billion in long-term lease obligations, he added.
CoreWeave&#8217;s management is targeting over $500 million in annual cost savings by the end of 2027, due to the elimination of Core Scientific's lease and the building of operating synergies, the analyst stated.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending approvals, he said.
"Core Scientific&#8217;s forecasts are now dominated by the revenue contribution hard-contracted HPC hosting generates that is both concrete in trajectory and transparent, transforming the company&#8217;s P/L especially as compared to the vagaries attached to bitcoin mining," Dede further wrote.
CORZ Price Action: Shares of Core Scientific had declined by 1.28% to $14.64 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

One of the biggest challenges in investing is finding stocks that combine the best of both worlds: the long-term upside of growth and the downside protection of solid fundamentals. That is the space where I like to hunt in the alleyway between value and growth, where stocks trade cheaply not because they are broken, but because no one is looking. For years, investors like Peter Lynch have pointed out that the price-to-earnings growth ratio, or PEG, is a useful way to find companies that are growing fast but are still cheap relative to that growth.
But as with any valuation metric, the PEG ratio alone is not enough. Cheap stocks are often cheap for good reasons.
To separate the real deals from the potential disasters, I have found that combining the PEG ratio with fundamental quality measures improves the odds dramatically.
&nbsp;Two of my favorite tools for doing this are the Piotroski F-score and the Altman Z-score. Each one tells you something different about the company, and each one adds a critical filter to avoid value traps. Used properly, each can help investors build a portfolio of undervalued growth stocks with a margin of safety.
Let us walk through each strategy.
Strategy 1: PEG + Piotroski F-Score The Piotroski F-score is a nine-point checklist designed to measure the strength of a company&#8217;s financial position, profitability, and operational efficiency. It looks at things like return on assets, changes in leverage, current ratio, margins, and whether the company is issuing new shares. A score of 8 or 9 means the company is fundamentally very sound. A score of 2 or below suggests red flags.
When you screen for companies with a low PEG ratio typically below 1 you are already targeting companies that are cheap relative to their earnings growth. But growth alone is not enough. A company growing earnings at 20 percent a year with poor margins, heavy debt, or aggressive accounting may not be able to sustain that growth. That is where the F-score comes in. By requiring a Piotroski F-score of 7 or higher, you add a layer of quality and discipline to the growth valuation thesis.
Back tests have shown that this combination PEG under 1 and F-score above 6 tends to outperform both the market and either strategy on its own, particularly in the small and mid-cap segments. That is where analysts are scarce, price discovery is inefficient, and financial statement quality matters most.
Strategy 2: PEG + Altman Z-Score The Altman Z-score was originally developed to predict bankruptcy risk. It is a composite of five balance sheet and income statement ratios, including working capital, retained earnings, EBIT, market value of equity to total liabilities, and revenue to total assets.
A score above 3 suggests a low risk of financial distress. A score below 1.8 suggests real danger.
This score adds another kind of safety filter to a PEG screen. A company may be cheap relative to growth, but if it is teetering on the edge of insolvency, then that cheapness may be warranted.
Combining a low PEG ratio with an Altman Z-score above 3 is a way to isolate stocks that are not only growing and undervalued but also financially strong and unlikely to implode due to leverage or poor liquidity.
This strategy may be particularly useful in economically uncertain or rising rate environments, when balance sheet quality becomes a key differentiator. During the past two decades, portfolios built using the PEG plus Z-score screen have shown better downside protection and lower volatility than those using PEG alone.
Two Lenses, Same Goal Both approaches PEG plus F-score and PEG plus Z-score are aimed at finding the same thing: mispriced growth stocks that also pass a quality test. The F-score is more focused on operational and profitability trends. The Z-score is more about solvency and capital structure. Depending on the investor&#8217;s preference, either one can be the better lens. The F-score strategy may find more turnaround candidates. The Z-score strategy may lean toward steadier compounders with fortress balance sheets.
In practice, I like to run both screens and then do the deep dive from there. The overlap list stocks that score well on PEG, F-score, and Z-score is where the most interesting names usually show up. Those are the stocks I am willing to buy with both hands if I can get them cheap enough. They are growing, they are solid, and they are off the radar. That is my sweet spot.
The PEG ratio by itself can find you fast-growing stocks. But paired with quality filters like the F-score or Z-score, it becomes a powerful tool to build a high-conviction portfolio of undervalued growth names. In a market increasingly dominated by narrative and noise, that kind of quiet, quality growth is where the real money is made.
Star Group, L.P. (Ticker: SGU) Here is an excellent under-the-radar company that has a low PEG ratio and a high F-score:
Star Group, L.P. is an energy distribution and home services company focused primarily on heating oil and propane, with a strong footprint in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The business generates reliable, if seasonal, cash flows supported by a sticky customer base and long-term trends in residential heating demand. While not a high-growth name, SGU has proven to be a stable income generator, with consistent dividend payments and a conservative balance sheet. Recent acquisitions in HVAC services and geographic expansion have modestly improved the company&#8217;s growth profile while also insulating it from volatility in fuel pricing. The company&#8217;s valuation remains reasonable, trading at a discount to peers on an EV/EBITDA basis, especially when adjusted for its relatively low leverage and strong free cash flow conversion.
For yield-focused or value-oriented investors, SGU presents a compelling case. The current distribution yield is approximately 6 percent and appears sustainable given the company&#8217;s historical payout discipline and ample liquidity. Management continues to prioritize steady returns over aggressive expansion, and with the volatility in energy markets subsiding, the company should benefit from more predictable margins in fiscal 2025. While SGU lacks the growth of larger utilities or infrastructure names, its combination of stability, yield, and cautious capital allocation makes it a solid addition to an income portfolio, especially in uncertain macro environments.
Progyny Inc. (Ticker: PGNY) Here is a company helping solve a niche medical need that is growing rapidly, trades for a low PEG ratio, and has a bulletproof Z-score:
Progyny is a leading provider of fertility and family-building benefits for large employers, offering a tech-enabled platform that combines benefit design, concierge care, and a curated provider network. The company serves over 400 employers, including many Fortune 500 firms, and has built a defensible niche by offering outcomes-based fertility solutions that reduce costs while improving patient satisfaction. In its most recent quarter, Progyny reported double-digit revenue and earnings growth, driven by strong utilization and continued client expansion. The company is also beginning to scale newer offerings such as menopause and men&#8217;s health benefits, which provide additional long-term growth levers and help deepen relationships with existing clients. Despite trading at a premium to traditional healthcare services firms on a price-to-earnings basis, Progyny&#8217;s strong revenue visibility, high gross margins, and consistent EBITDA performance make it a compelling option for growth-focused investors. Recent concerns around client concentration particularly the loss of a large tech client in 2024 have weighed on the stock, but the company has shown it can offset churn with new customer wins. With a strong balance sheet, no debt, and continued investment in platform capabilities, Progyny is well-positioned to benefit from long-term demographic and societal trends driving demand for fertility and family benefits. For investors looking for a profitable, differentiated healthcare growth story, PGNY remains an attractive candidate.

An investor on Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1lsjmb4/is_holding_individual_stocks_worth_the_stress/">r/stocks</a> recently asked a question that hit home for many people: &#8220;Is holding individual stocks worth the stress anymore?&#8221;
&#8220;I used to think I could beat the market by picking my own stocks,&#8221; the person wrote. &#8220;But between earnings roulette, random macro shocks, and hype cycles, I&#8217;m starting to feel like just holding VTI/VT is the move.&#8221;&nbsp;
VTI refers to the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>), and VT (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VT#NYSE">VT</a>) refers to the Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund ETF.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Preference For Passive Investing</h2>
Many Redditors agreed, saying they had already switched to passive index funds because picking individual stocks was just too stressful and time-consuming. One user replied, &#8220;If it is stressful, don&#8217;t. VTI is pretty stable by comparison.&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;I feel like I have a second job babysitting my portfolio. I wish there were another way. Maybe this is it.&#8221;
The r/Bogleheads approach was heavily referenced throughout the thread. Named after Vanguard founder John Bogle, this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43730981/the-man-who-founded-vanguard-and-his-7-investing-principles">investing philosophy</a> emphasizes long-term, low-cost, passive investing—typically through broad-market index funds—and encourages <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/04/44773665/time-in-the-market-do-investors-actually-adhere">avoiding market timing</a> or frequent trading.&nbsp;
&#8220;Just become a Boglehead and call it good. No guesswork, just long-term gains,&#8221; one comment said. Several investors pointed out that most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44016490/21-year-old-pro-investor-challenges-dave-ramsey-show-hosts-on-index-funds-vs-mutual-funds-80-of-mutual-funds-dont-beat-the-market">professional stock pickers</a> don&#8217;t outperform the market consistently, so regular investors have an even steeper hill to climb.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still, Many Can&#8217;t Let Go Of Stock Picking</h2>
Even with all the warnings, some people still think picking individual stocks is worth it if you&#8217;re willing to put in the time and have the right mindset. &#8220;I pick individual stocks for fun,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;As long as you&#8217;re not buying risky/sh&#x2A;tty stocks, you&#8217;ll make money.&#8221;
Some shared massive gains from choosing the right names at the right time. One investor said their investments in Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) had more than quadrupled in value over the past three years. Another claimed they&#8217;re &#8220;up 700%&#8221; on AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) and have more than tripled their net worth in the last two years.
But not everyone trusts that these results are repeatable. &#8220;The best analysts can&#8217;t do it consistently on a long timeframe,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;But you&#8217;re probably better than them because you made one good pick?&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hybrid Strategy Gets Traction</h2>
Many investors in the thread advocated for a middle-ground approach. One described their approach as 90% passive investing, 5% allocated to unconventional assets such as gold, GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>), and bitcoin, and the remaining 5% in actively managed stocks. &#8220;I find having a small basket of stocks allows me to learn quite a bit about the companies.&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;The passive allocation does the heavy lifting, and the other 10% scratches the itch to be active.&#8221;
There&#8217;s also a psychological angle. One investor admitted, &#8220;If you&#8217;re stressed holding stocks at all-time highs, I wouldn&#8217;t be in the market.&#8221;
Some described stock picking as a rewarding hobby. &#8220;I like knowing and believing in the names I hold. Even in periods of underperformance, I don&#8217;t sweat it.&#8221;
Whether to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/active-vs-passive-investing">invest passively or actively</a> depends on each investor&#8217;s goals, temperament and willingness to put in the time. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, but knowing your limits may be just as important as knowing the market.
