As Election Day 2024 unfolds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/massachusetts">Massachusetts</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oregon">Oregon</a> are capturing national attention with pivotal ballot measures on psychedelics. Both states have the potential to reshape U.S. mental health treatment by advancing policies on substances like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psilocybin">psilocybin</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mdma">MDMA</a>, part of the &#8220;psychedelic renaissance&#8221; in mental health care. These efforts signify growing momentum behind <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelic-assisted-therapies">psychedelic-assisted therapy</a> as a solution for PTSD, depression, and addiction, aiming to address urgent mental health needs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Massachusetts' Question 4: Legalization And Regulation Of Psychedelics</h3>
Massachusetts voters face an important decision with Question 4, which would legalize and decriminalize psychedelics for therapeutic and personal use. If passed, it would allow licensed providers to administer substances like psilocybin and MDMA for therapy and decriminalize personal use and home cultivation of psilocybin.
This initiative marks Massachusetts&#8217; first state-level push for psychedelic reform, potentially setting a precedent for other states. However, the campaign has encountered internal disagreements, particularly around the measure's dual focus on therapeutic legalization and personal decriminalization, stirring debates on potential risks like unregulated recreational use.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Supporters And Opposition In Massachusetts</h3>
The campaign for Question 4 is backed by strong support from veterans groups and drug policy advocates. The Heroic Hearts Project, a veterans&#8217; service organization has been especially vocal. The group is promoting the measure as a critical alternative treatment for veterans suffering from PTSD and other mental health conditions. Massachusetts for Mental Health Options, the primary group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41320243/massachusetts-veterans-advocate-for-psilocybin-legalization-will-voters-support-them">backing the measure</a>, has received endorsements from numerous veteran advocates, who see psychedelics as a promising path to healing when traditional treatments fail.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Local Support</h3>
Eight<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/37158739/medford-massachusets-move-to-decriminalize-psychedelics-has-statewide-reform-implications"> Massachusetts cities</a> including Salem, Somerville and Cambridge have adopted policies deprioritizing the enforcement of laws against psychedelics. Cambridge and Somerville city councils endorsed the statewide ballot measure, signaling growing momentum for change at the local level.
Despite growing support, the measure has faced opposition. A majority of Massachusetts&#8217; Special Joint Committee on Ballot Initiatives recommended against it in May, citing concerns over its broad scope. Governor Maura Healey introduced a veterans-focused bill to study psilocybin's therapeutic potential but expressed caution about full-scale legalization. Critics say the measure's decriminalization and legalization could lead to unintended consequences, like increased recreational use or regulatory challenges. The No campaign, backed by groups like Smart Approaches to Marijuana, has raised public health concerns, urging voters to reject it.
Polls indicate that Massachusetts' electorate remains divided, with undecided voters likely to influence the final outcome. Voter turnout and public interpretation of the initiative's complexities could ultimately determine its success.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oregon's Evolving Psychedelic Landscape</h3>
In Oregon, where voters approved psilocybin therapy with Measure 109 in 2020, the state is once again at the forefront of psychedelic reform. Following its landmark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/11/18204455/oregon-becomes-first-us-state-to-decriminalize-drug-possession-begins-psilocybin-program">decriminalization of all drug possession</a> under Measure 110, Oregon is considering additional measures in 2024 to further expand access to psychedelic therapies, potentially addressing a wider array of mental health conditions and setting an example for other states.
These measures demonstrate Oregon's commitment to harm reduction and therapeutic options over punitive drug policies. For advocates nationwide, Oregon's ongoing initiatives offer a potential model for expanding regulated psychedelic therapy and decriminalization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Influence And Psychedelic Reform Movement</h3>
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40447902/psychedelics-and-mental-health-fda-stalls-but-states-forge-ahead">state initiatives gain momentum</a>, federal policy on psychedelics remains uncertain. While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/food-and-drug-administration">FDA</a> has approved limited research, broader legalization and therapeutic use are still unclear. However, bipartisan support for psychedelic research is growing. With votes on Massachusetts&#8217; Question 4 and Oregon&#8217;s initiatives, 2024 could be a pivotal year, particularly for MA, which may set a precedent for expanding access to transformative mental health therapies.

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.

</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.
