Hackett Group shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results and issued Q4 adjusted EPS guidance above estimates. Also, Craig-Hallum raised its price target on the stock from $30 to $32.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $3.81, after a 3.81% increase. Over the past month, LexinFintech Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LX#NASDAQ">LX</a>) stock increased by 14.15%, and in the past year, by 80.20%. 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>LexinFintech Holdings P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.2 in the Consumer Finance industry, LexinFintech Holdings Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 5.3. 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/2024/1730824264_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.

Mark Cuban is an outspoken billionaire and part-owner of the Dallas Mavericks but also one of the most vocal critics of the former president. He has used terms like &#8220;fascist&#8221; to describe Trump&#8217;s behavior. However, Cuban was recently seen on ABC justifying his business relationship with Miriam Adelson, who gave Trump an astounding $100 million to support his 2024 election campaign.

<li>With over 7.8K investors including Meta, Google, And Amazon Execs — this AI Startup's valuation has skyrocketed from $5 million to $85 million in just three years. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai">Be an early investor with just $1,000 for only $0.50/share today.</a></li>

</ul>
Adelson&#8217;s hefty donation to Trump – the largest of any sports team owner – shows she's all-in on Trump's campaign. That has made things somewhat awkward for Cuban, considering his loud and clear support for Kamala Harris, who is running against Trump.
Yet, when asked how he felt about this partnership, Cuban brushed off the issue. &#8220;Do you know how everyone is voting who you work with? Do you know how the owners of your company are voting? This is America. People get to choose their candidates and vote for who they want, which makes it amazing,&#8221; Cuban said in an interview. Cuban&#8217;s message is that differing political views shouldn't interfere with running a business.

Cuban also pointed out that he's not giving money to Harris – or any other political candidate, for that matter. Despite his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40745014/kamala-harris-is-pro-business-mark-cuban-says-vice-presidents-centre-100-policies-differ-from-bidens">vocal support for the current vice president</a>, Cuban hasn&#8217;t donated a penny to her campaign. He believes in making a difference through his words and influence instead of writing checks.
He's been on social media defending Harris and has engaged in fiery debates, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41568486/mark-cuban-highlights-trumps-potential-to-ruin-christmas-but-he-might-also-end-up-spoiling-the-p">calling out Trump's behavior</a> as dangerous and out of touch. Cuban also stated in the same ABC interview that &#8220;Donald Trump is not a normal candidate,&#8221; claiming that he has used divisive language and taken actions that, in Cuban&#8217;s opinion, verge on authoritarianism.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Despite clashing ideologies, Cuban seems comfortable keeping his business relationships and political beliefs separate. Miriam Adelson, who inherited a vast fortune from her late husband Sheldon Adelson, now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36231225/mark-cuban-to-retain-25-stake-in-dallas-mavericks-after-sale-to-adelson-family-report">shares ownership of the Mavericks with Cuban</a>. The Adelson family is deeply involved in politics and their support of Trump hasn't wavered. On the other hand, Cuban is sticking to his guns – supporting Harris in the media and making the case for what he believes is best for the country.
At the end of the day, Cuban seems determined to stay true to his political convictions and his business partnerships. &#8220;This is America,&#8221; he says – a place where people can disagree, even sharply and still find ways to work together.

'This Is America,' Mark Cuban Says, Justifying His Business Relationship With Trump's $100M Megadonor And Mavericks Co-Owner

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40714364/survive-anything-kevin-oleary-claims-you-need-5-million-in-savings-heres-how-you-can-reach-that-">Kevin O'Leary</a>, best known from Shark Tank, has backed Elon Musk's sweeping $2 trillion plan to slash federal spending. With former President Donald Trump's backing, Musk is proposed to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) if Trump secures a second term.&nbsp;

</ul>
O'Leary enthusiastically remarked on Fox News, "Release the hounds" about unleashing Musk's cost-cutting skills across federal agencies. "Let them in there and come back with a shopping list of ideas and let's debate it. Why not? We need to find some savings."
In O'Leary's view, the U.S. federal government is "the biggest business in America." He sees Musk, the mind behind Tesla and SpaceX, as uniquely equipped to tackle this budget behemoth.&nbsp;
"Who has the executional skills and the track record to even look at this problem?" he said, emphasizing that Musk's focus and determination make him an ideal candidate. Indeed, O'Leary believes that Musk's efficiency ethos, which has driven companies like SpaceX to success, would transfer seamlessly to federal budget cuts – an area few entrepreneurs would tread.

Musk has clarified that he views today's government spending as unsustainable, especially with national debt interest payments now outstripping the defense budget.&nbsp;
Speaking at a Trump rally, he linked federal spending to inflation and increased taxes, which he warned are squeezing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40582239/californias-new-plan-taxpayers-might-soon-be-funding-home-loans-for-illegal-migrants-heres-what-">taxpayers </a>dry. With his proposal to shave off $2 trillion, Musk aims to start the work he sees as vital for long-term economic stability.
But this grand vision has detractors. Some experts question whether cutting a third of federal spending is possible without compromising essential services.&nbsp;
Analysis from the Washington Post noted that Musk&#8217;s cuts could gut programs like health care, food security and housing, impacting millions of Americans. Even previously untouchable sectors, such as Social Security and the military, may be affected.&nbsp;
See Also: Over the last five years, the price of gold has increased by approximately 83% — Investors like Bill O&#8217;Reilly and Rudy Giuliani are using this platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/american-hartford-gold">create customized gold IRAs to help shield their savings from inflation and economic turbulence.&nbsp;</a>
Musk acknowledged on X (formerly Twitter) that his proposed cuts could result in economic turmoil, suggesting that hard times would be ahead before any benefits emerged.
Still, O'Leary remains undeterred. He sees Musk's focus as an asset, contrasting the entrepreneur's "100% signal" approach with what he describes as other business leaders' focus on "noise." To O'Leary, Musk's dedication to his projects means he is all about the mission and not distracted by side issues, making him ideal for leading such a challenging initiative.&nbsp;
He even suggested that Musk go beyond the $2 trillion target. "We've got to go find $2 trillion; we've got to go find $5 trillion," O'Leary urged.

One of the many advantages of <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a> is that you can easily create a customized portfolio. diversified across various sectors, geographies, and business types, allowing for the creation of a tailored portfolio that aligns closely with individual investment goals. Another advantage, of course, is that select companies can turn into 10X penny stocks overnight. And, sometimes, those 10X penny stocks break free from their micro-cap status to anchor long-term buy-and-hold portfolios. Even if not, 10X penny stocks can offer rapid rewards to traders looking for a short-term profit.



Penny stocks are rebounding this year as benchmarked ETFs like the iShares Micro-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iwc-stock-quote/">IWC</a>) return just below 2%, even if it lags the overall market&rsquo;s 11% year-to-date return. However, this trend might be shifting as potential rate cuts, and the elimination of weaker penny stocks from the market may now position the surviving micro-caps as leading contenders in their category. Though penny stocks probably shouldn&rsquo;t be the bulk of your portfolio, strategically selecting for potential 10X penny stocks is a great way to learn underlying fundamentals through practical applications and research.



<h2>Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/shutterstock_1007906431-300x169.jpg" alt="clean energy stocks: a nuclear power plant in Belgium"><div>Source: engel.ac / Shutterstock</div></div>10X penny stock Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nne-stock-quote/">NNE</a>) has had a wild ride since its public listing on May 13th; shares surged more than 100% at the end of the month before settling around $7.50 per share. That&rsquo;s nearly double the company&rsquo;s $4 IPO pricing, indicating big things ahead for the 10X penny stock, particularly considering its pre-revenue status.



As the name implies, the company is developing shipping-crate-sized nuclear reactors to mitigate power and electricity in some areas while offering &ldquo;surge&rdquo; assistance in areas needing tons of power quickly. Some of the tech&rsquo;s commercial application includes crypto mining, data center support, and artificial intelligence &mdash; and, of course, municipal governments may be interested in Nano Nuclear to support post-disaster management (like we&rsquo;re currently seeing in Texas). The federal government and defense industry likewise have plenty of use for small, compact, and (relatively) cheap portable energy sources.



Nano Nuclear&rsquo;s management thinks that their developing products could be fully deployable <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/nano-nuclear-thinks-it-will-be-first-company-sell-microreactors-2030-target">by 2030</a>, though that represents a problem for investors looking at 10X penny stocks &mdash; with minimal revenue projected between now and then, holding the stock for several years could be a lesson in opportunity cost. At the same time, though, there&rsquo;s clear enthusiasm surrounding the stock as we saw last week. In my mind, the company&rsquo;s current per-share pricing is a bit steep considering the risks, but I&rsquo;d look for a buying opportunity around the $6 mark.



<h2>The Metals Company (TMC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/shutterstock_1771500521-300x169.png" alt="nickel stocks: a piece of nickel ore in front of a white background"><div>Source: aura23 / Shutterstock</div></div>I covered 10X penny stock The Metals Company (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tmc-stock-quote/">TMC</a>) in late April, <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/04/from-cryptocurrency-to-cannabis-7-penny-stocks-on-the-rise/">specifically looking at</a> the company&rsquo;s inclusion of Steve Jurvetson of SpaceX and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a>) fame to their governance roster. I also noted that the company&rsquo;s current burn rate was concerning, as deep-sea metals mining (the company&rsquo;s focus) is pricy and demands high capital expenditures with limited opportunity for revenue until turning sea exploration into mining operations.



But that may soon change.



At the end of May, the company announced the sector&rsquo;s first successful battery-grade nickel mining operation. Tested by independent third-party scientists, the Pacific Ocean-sourced raw material can be turned into nickel sulphate, a major battery component. As of today, company management projects that their oceanic stake may hold enough nickel and other metals to meet the production needs for as many as 280 million electric vehicles (that&rsquo;s as many currently driving on US roadways).



Analysts expect that the company will soon reach <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/analysts-expect-breakeven-tmc-metals-150754111.html">break-even status</a> and finally hit a path to profitability next year or by 2026. While that&rsquo;s a bit far out, it&rsquo;s a nearer-term 10X penny stock than Nano Nuclear &mdash; and much cheaper to boot.



<h2>Akanda (AKAN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cannabis-stocks1600-3-300x169.png" alt="scientist checking organic hemp wild plants in a cannabis weed commercial greenhouse. Concept of herbal alternative medicine, cbd oil, pharmaceutical industry. Cannabis stocks, FLGC stocks"><div>Source: Chokniti-Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Akanda (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/akan-stock-quote/">AKAN</a>) stock soared in mid-May, nearly doubling on the heels of an announced and executed 1-for-40 reverse stock split. While reverse splits tend to be bearish indicators of a long-term lack of sustainability, in the case of 10X penny stocks, they&rsquo;re somewhat par for the course. Moreover, the company&rsquo;s slim shares outstanding stat, which sits at just 1.92 million, means that Akanda&rsquo;s stock volatility will likely continue as relatively few traders can move massive share quantities. This volatility, of course, is a recipe for 10X penny stock success, as smart traders can make money both ways by properly placing long or short bets.



On a longer horizon, I wouldn&rsquo;t call Akanda a solid buy-and-hold penny stock like Nano Nuclear or The Metals Company; while the latter two have a technical moat and are one of just a few penny stocks operating within their respective industries, Akanda&rsquo;s a small player in a large and rapidly growing cannabis sector. In the long run, Akanda&rsquo;s best bet is to seek acquisition or merger with a larger cannabis player &mdash; but that doesn&rsquo;t mean the 10X penny stock isn&rsquo;t worth actively trading amid all this volatility.



On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&nbsp;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Friday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Akanda&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/akan-stock-quote/">AKAN</a>) stock is on the rise Friday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the cannabis company&rsquo;s shares this morning.



This has more than 6.8 million shares of AKAN stock changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s well above the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume of about 1.3 million shares. It&rsquo;s also higher than Akanda&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AKAN/key-statistics/">float of 760,620 units</a>.



This increase in trading volume on Friday comes without any clear news from Akanda. That includes no press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There also isn&rsquo;t any analyst coverage causing today&rsquo;s rally.



One thing that traders will keep in mind is AKAN being a penny stock. This comes from its prior closing price of only $1.45 and a market capitalization of just $2.779 million.



<h2>What That Means for AKAN Stock</h2>



Investors will want to be wary of AKAN alongside today&rsquo;s rally. With the lack of news and sudden surge in trading volume, it has some signs of a pump and dump. The alternative is speculative traders boost the shares higher.



No matter the case, it makes AKAN stock a risky investment right now. That means investors will want to be careful about taking a stake in the company.



AKAN stock is up 34.1% as of Friday morning.

</ul>On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&#8239;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that&#8239;InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
