Looking into the current session, Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APD#NYSE">APD</a>) shares are trading at $305.85, after a 0.08% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.39%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 17.74%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730819874_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Air Products &amp; Chemicals P/E Relative to Its Competitors</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 51.67 in the Chemicals industry, Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.59. 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/2024/1730819874_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.

Housing prices in key battleground states track much closer to conservative-leaning states than liberal ones, according to research from Realtor.com examining real estate trends since the 2020 election.
The analysis of seven swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – found median listing prices averaging $216 per square foot over the past year, well below the $322 average in blue states while hovering just above the $192 seen in red states.

</ul>
&#8220;When it comes to home prices, swing states have mirrored red states much more than blue states over the past four years,&#8221; Realtor.com senior economist Ralph McLaughlin was quoted in the report. The data shows swing state prices running 30% to 40% below blue state levels but only 10% to 20% above red states.
Price growth in the much-contested states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/39112751/home-values-in-swing-states-may-swing-the-2024-presidential-vote">has followed a middle path since 2020</a>. From October 2020, swing state listing prices rose 35% on a square-foot basis, compared to 24% in red states and 40% in blue states. The median listing price in swing states is $399,000, between red states at $371,129 and blue states at $554,321.

Realtor noted that the price patterns align with broader demographic trends, as swing states typically occupy a middle ground in key metrics like urbanization, education levels and wages. A separate Realtor.com analysis from May found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38949118/swing-state-housing-prices-could-sway-2024-election">housing affordability in swing states closely tracking the national average</a>.
Housing policy has become a campaign issue, with Vice President Kamala Harris proposing builder tax credits to create three million new homes and $25,000 in down-payment assistance for first-time buyers. Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s housing proposals center on immigration restrictions and deregulation. His platform includes preventing undocumented immigrants from accessing mortgages. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41251977/trump-and-harris-reveal-their-game-plans-to-tackle-skyrocketing-housing-prices-heres-what-has-worked">According to previous Benzinga reporting</a>, the policy could have broader implications for construction costs, as immigrants make up about 20% of the construction workforce.

The former president&#8217;s plan also targets zoning regulations, which he identifies as a key barrier to new housing development. His proposed reforms would streamline environmental requirements and permit processes that he says currently impede builders and drive up costs.
According to McLaughlin, if the price growth seen in home prices since the last election matters to voters, "it implies that swing state voters may have federal housing policy on their minds much less than voters in blue states but perhaps a little more than voters in red states,&#8221; he said.

'30% Less Than Blue': Swing State Home Prices Align With Red States, Says Realtor.com

Although the broad market has clocked impressive returns in 2024, with the benchmark S&amp;P 500 Index, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), returning more than 20%, legendary investor Warren Buffett has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41294370/warren-buffett-continues-trimming-bank-of-america-position-no-longer-needs-to-report-sales">been a cautious seller</a>.
The Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) chairman notably sold over $100 billion of Berkshire&#8217;s largest holding, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), capitalizing on the tech giant's valuation and reducing exposure to preserve gains. Additionally, he offloaded substantial portions of Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), trimming Berkshire&#8217;s stake below the critical 10% ownership threshold.
While it is hard to speculate on Buffett's actions, his decision to sell a bank might be tied to an anticipation of lower interest rates. Berkshire still owns about 10% of the stock, but now it is not required to file Form 4 with the SEC within two business days—it can file Form 13F as far as 45 days into 2025.
In addition to a solid orientation around the Fed&#8217;s actions, Buffett's expertise in the insurance industry is noteworthy, as decades of ownership of GEICO give him a vantage point over the market.
Per <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1852787764720476326">the </a>Kobeissi Letter, he now holds a record $288 billion of U.S. Treasury bills, which is $93 billion more than the Fed.
"Opportunities for investment that are open to the analyst who stresses quantitative factors have virtually disappeared…" Buffett <a href="https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/media/2975913/buffett-partnership-letters.pdf">wrote</a> in May 1969, clarifying the decision to close down his $100 million Buffett Partnership, Ltd. However, in 2024, he's at the helm of one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world.
Buffett's investment preferences are fairly well-known. He seeks companies with a high return on equity (ROE) that demonstrate efficient use of capital and consistent profit margins that indicate financial health.
Furthermore, he favors the "product moat," or competitive advantage, as it creates long-term stability and growth, fends off competition, and sustains profitability. However, a cornerstone of Buffett&#8217;s investing philosophy is his rigorous preference for buying assets at a discount to their intrinsic value.
This preference is so strong that he suspended Berkshire Hathaway's buybacks in the third quarter until the "price is below Berkshire's intrinsic value."
While there are still companies meeting Buffett's criteria, finding them at a bargain has become challenging – particularly at a size that would create a meaningful return for his $325 billion cash pile.
Berkshire Hathaway has returned 22.02% year-to-date.

<h3>Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
