William Blair Initiates Coverage On Nasdaq with Outperform Rating

In the current session, the stock is trading at $116.06, after a 0.36% increase. Over the past month, Walt Disney Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) stock increased by 21.08%, and in the past year, by 25.83%. 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>Walt Disney P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Walt Disney has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 52.76 of the Entertainment industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.

Vertical Aerospace shares are trading higher after the company announced it secured an agreement where Mudrick Capital will commit up to $50 million in the next equity round.

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) is giving traders a rollercoaster they can't resist. The server maker, famous for its AI systems powering Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips, saw its stock skyrocket 65% in a single week.
The stock opened the trading day of Monday, Nov. 18 at $20.03/share and closed Friday, Nov. 22 at $33.15/share. The stock was seen attempting to claw its way back from a six-month slump that wiped out nearly 60% of its value. 
But the road ahead is anything but smooth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI&#8217;s Nasdaq Drama: Staying In The Game</h2>
Super Micro recently faced a potential delisting scare after failing to meet Nasdaq's filing requirements. In response, the company hired a new independent auditor and vowed to file its earnings report soon. 
The stakes couldn't be higher; failure to follow through could wreak havoc on the stock, sending it into freefall once again. For now, though, traders appear to be betting on a redemption arc—just in time for the holidays.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Stock&#8217;s Technical Tug-of-War</h2>
While last week's rally signals hope, SMCI's technical indicators paint a more nuanced picture. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25095056/Screenshot-2024-11-25-at-8.17.52-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-663488" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25095056/Screenshot-2024-11-25-at-8.17.52-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25095056/Screenshot-2024-11-25-at-8.17.52-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
SMCI stock, trading at $37.03, sits above its eight-day ($26.51) and 20-day ($27.06) simple moving averages (SMAs) — clear bullish signals. However, the longer-term outlook isn't as rosy. With the 50-day SMA at $38.00 and the 200-day SMA at a lofty $69.70, both point to bearish signals, reflecting the steep declines earlier this year.
Adding to the mixed signals, the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator stands at -2.63, further suggesting caution, while the relative strength index (RSI) hovers at 57.97, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. 
It's a battleground for bulls and bears, and the options market <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:82d432982094b:0-smci-super-micro-jumps-65-in-a-week-as-traders-ramp-up-bets-on-roaring-comeback/">implies</a> double-digit percentage swings could persist for weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Stock From Boom To Bust — &amp; Back?</h2>
Super Micro shares once surged to over $122/share by March, riding the AI wave. But since peaking, the stock has shed 69% of its value as it trades around $38/share &#8211; leaving investors wondering if the magic is gone for good. 
Even after the recent rally, the stock has only managed a modest 33.70% gain year-to-date.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Comeback Question</h3>
With Nasdaq compliance hanging in the balance and volatility dominating its trading patterns, Super Micro has a lot to prove. Can the server manufacturer capitalize on its AI-driven partnerships and rebuild investor trust, or will it face another wipe out?
Traders are watching closely, and the clock is ticking.
For now, Super Micro is a high-stakes bet. The potential rewards are tantalizing, but the risks? They're towering, too.

SMCI Surges 65% In A Week, But Is Volatility The New Normal?

Macy's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42162655/macy-falls-as-preliminary-q3-highlights-mixed-performance-and-154-million-expense-concealment">delayed its Q3 earnings release</a>, revealing an internal investigation into an employee who allegedly hid hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses.
Shares of Macy&#8217;s, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) are trading lower on Monday, and there is a good chance that the downtrend will continue.
This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
A person who was responsible for small package delivery expense accounting made intentional &#8220;erroneous accounting accrual entries.&#8221; As much as $154 million may have been hidden. The activity occurred between Q4 2021 and the current third quarter.
Macy's said there was &#8220;no indication that the accounting error had any impact on the cash management activities or vendor payments.&#8221; It also said the employee is no longer with the company.

The stock was looking technically vulnerable prior to the news coming out. As you can see on the chart, it had run into resistance again around the $16.40 level. Stocks tend to sell off after they hit resistance. This is what happened with Macy's in mid-October and early November.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="557" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25101907/m-chart-1024x557.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-663574" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25101907/m-chart-1024x557.webp 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25101907/m-chart-300x163.webp 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25101907/m-chart-768x418.webp 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/25101907/m-chart.webp 1501w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
When a stock trends higher, there aren't enough sellers to fill all the buy orders. As a result, buyers are forced to bid successively higher prices to attract sellers into the market, forcing the stock into an uptrend.
When resistance is reached, the uptrend ends. There are more than enough sellers to fill all of the buy orders. Buyers can acquire all of the shares they wish to without pushing the price any higher.
Sometimes, some investors and traders who create resistance with their sell orders become concerned. They know the buyers will go to whoever will sell at the lowest price.
They fear that other sellers may lower their asking prices, prompting them to do the same. This behavior often triggers a chain reaction, with more sellers reducing their prices in response.
It results in a snowball effect that can push the price lower.
This is what happened the last two times Macy's reached the $16.40 level, and it may be about to happen again.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on PNC Finl Servs Gr, Raises Price Target to $235

Israel and Lebanon have agreed on the framework for a cease-fire deal to end over a year of violent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a senior U.S. official told Axios on Monday.
While the agreement awaits formal approval from Israel's Security Cabinet on Tuesday, global financial markets are already reacting, with gold and oil prices tumbling as geopolitical risks recede and risky assets soar<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel"> amid improving investor optimism. </a>
Both the Dow Jones Index and the S&amp;P 500 indices hit fresh record highs minutes following Monday&#8217;s market open in New York. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Israel-Lebanon Deal: What It Includes</h3>
The cease-fire, if approved, would mark the end of a bloody chapter that has claimed the lives of over 3,500 Lebanese and 140 Israelis while displacing hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the border. 
Under the proposed agreement, Israel would initiate a 60-day withdrawal of its military from southern Lebanon, the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/25/israel-lebanon-near-hezbollah-ceasefire-deal">Axios report said</a>. 
Simultaneously, the Lebanese army would deploy along border areas, and Hezbollah would relocate its heavy weaponry north of the Litani River.
To ensure compliance, a U.S.-led oversight committee would monitor the agreement, while the U.S. has pledged to support Israeli military action against imminent threats if Lebanese forces fail to act.
A senior U.S. official told Axios: "We think we have a deal. We are on the goal line, but we haven't passed it yet."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil, Gold Take A Blow</h3>
The news sent shockwaves through the commodities market.

Unsealed court documents highlight how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41555467/federal-probe-into-tether-examines-potential-sanctions-and-money-laundering-breaches-wsj">drug cartels from Mexico and Colombia </a>are leveraging cryptocurrency, particularly Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), to launder tens of millions of dollars.
What Happened: The documents shed light on how criminal organizations, including the Sinaloa cartel, have turned to stablecoins and blockchain technology to move wealth across borders, according to a <a href="https://www.404media.co/tether-has-become-a-massive-money-laundering-tool-for-mexican-drug-traffickers-feds-say/">report</a> from 404 Media.
Benzinga has reached out to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino for comments.
One confidential source disclosed to investigators that cartels purchase USDT in Mexico at below-market rates, given its association with drug proceeds. 
"The current trend was to purchase USDT from Mexico-based groups at a cheaper rate than the market price and then sell the USDT in Colombia," the source said. 
These transactions reportedly take place through currency exchanges, peer-to-peer networks and over-the-counter (OTC) trades.
The court filings <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25379143-tether-document-1?ref=404media.co">revealed</a> substantial cryptocurrency activity linked to these cartels.
A Binance account under investigation processed over $15 million between May 2020 and September 2023, with 452 deposits and 567 withdrawals. 
Transactions often involved transferring funds across blockchain networks and converting them into other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum to obfuscate the origin of the funds.
The documents also connect Grupo Gueratti, an investment management firm based in Guadalajara, Mexico, and its alleged associate L.E.O.T., to money laundering activities. 
Investigators used undercover operatives to pick up cash in the U.S., convert it into cryptocurrency, and transfer it to wallets linked to L.E.O.T.

By April 2024, undercover operations had facilitated more than 20 money-laundering transactions involving USDT.
Binance told 404 Media that it works closely with law enforcement to combat criminal activities. 
"We work tirelessly alongside law enforcement to help combat crime&#8230; When we receive law enforcement requests for information or to freeze funds, we take action quickly," the company said. 
Binance also emphasized that blockchain technology provides transparency that aids anti-money laundering efforts.
Tether echoed similar sentiments, highlighting its collaboration with law enforcement to track illicit activity. 
"Every transaction is traceable, every asset can be seized, and every criminal can be caught," Tether's spokesperson said. 
The company claimed to have blocked over $2 billion in USDT linked to criminal activities and assisted law enforcement in 195 cases across 48 countries.
The documents also reveal that drug cartels have been using Bitcoin alongside Tether to facilitate transactions. 
The FBI <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25379142-tether-document-2?ref=404media.co">investigated</a> another money-laundering organization tied to the Sinaloa cartel, which laundered over $52 million in drug proceeds between 2021 and 2023. 
Additionally, Chinese manufacturers of synthetic opioids have reportedly used Bitcoin for payments, enabling drug traffickers to transfer large sums instantly across the globe.
Why It Matters: The investigation comes as Tether's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42157756/firm-led-by-trumps-commerce-secretary-pick-howard-lutnick-reportedly-in-talks-for-a-multi-billion-dollar-bitcoin-lending-project-with-tether">connections to Wall Street deepen</a>.
Cantor Fitzgerald, led by Howard Lutnick, has been a key custodian of Tether's reserves. 
Lutnick is reportedly planning a multi-billion-dollar program involving Tether, offering dollar loans to clients who pledge Bitcoin as collateral. 
While Lutnick has praised Tether's financial transparency, the company has faced allegations of aiding illegal activities, including money laundering—a claim its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has denied.
