<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Assessing Verisk Analytics: Insights From 4 Financial Analysts

In the current market session, Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) stock price is at $77.22, after a 5.86% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 28.27%, and in the past year, by 168.03%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740160819_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Dutch Bros 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. 
Dutch Bros has a better P/E ratio of 241.26 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 94.9 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that Dutch Bros Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740160819_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into Dutch Bros Inc's Price Over Earnings

By the end of 2024, Americans&#8217; credit card debt reached an all-time high of<a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2025/20250213"> $1.21 trillion—up $45 billion</a> from the previous quarter and 7.3% higher than in 2023. A major factor in this increase was holiday spending, with consumers spending $702 billion, <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RSXFSN">according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</a>.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Debt, Delinquency, and Lenders&#8217; Challenges</h2>
Meanwhile, more people are falling behind on payments. According to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43493701/fed-chair-jerome-powell-faces-trumps-pressure-the-president-cant-fire-me-as-interest-rates-hold-steady-at-4-25-4-5">Federal Reserve</a> Bank of New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc">Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit</a>, in the third quarter of 2024, approximately 10.93% of credit card accounts in the United States were more than 90 days delinquent.&nbsp;

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
</ul>
This marked the highest rate since the first quarter of 2012. Simply put, a lot of people are struggling to keep up.
Experts cite inflation and increasing reliance on credit cards as main culprits of rising debt. LendingTree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TREE#NASDAQ">TREE</a>) Chief Credit Analyst <a href="https://www.aol.com/credit-card-debt-hit-record-210801896.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CStubborn%20inflation%20has%20shrunk%20a,over%20the%20last%20two%20decades.">Matt Schulz commented</a>, "Stubborn inflation has shrunk a lot of Americans' financial margin for error from slim to about none, forcing people to lean more heavily on credit card debt."
And it&#8217;s more expensive to carry a balance. The average credit card interest rate has inched <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/study/average-credit-card-interest-rate-in-america/">over 20%, says LendingTree</a>. That&#8217;s especially painful for lower-income families, as inflation and steep interest charges make it even more difficult to get ahead.
Trending: The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a>
This credit card debt boom is not happening in a vacuum, however. The <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc.html">New York Fed reports </a>that total household debt—comprising mortgages, auto loans, and student loans—totaled $18.04 trillion at the end of 2024.&nbsp;
Despite these economic limitations, consumer spending is sound. However, with high debt loads and still-high rates of interest, financial security remains a mounting concern. &#8220;There&#8217;s very little reason to believe that we won&#8217;t continue to see new credit card debt records being set going forward," Schulz said.
All the states are not hurting to the same degree. <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-average-credit-card-debt-in-every-u-s-state-2024/">Based on Visual Capitalist</a>, most expensive states like Alaska and Washington, D.C., carry the highest average credit card debt—over $7,000 per household—while Mississippi and West Virginia have averages of around $5,300. Nonetheless, high-income states may not struggle as much to pay off debt even with higher debt levels.
