The company on Wednesday announced the successful return of its Pioneer spacecraft for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45400597/two-earth-return-missions-in-two-months-rocket-lab-demonstrates-rapid-re-entry-capability-with-thi">Varda Space Industries</a>.
What Happened: Rocket Lab said its Pioneer spacecraft&nbsp;made a successful return to Earth on Wednesday, marking the company&#8217;s second Earth return mission in two months. Varda&#8217;s W-3 mission launched 15 days after the return of W-2.

American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday after the company issued a profit warning and withdrew its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45394173/american-eagle-shares-dive-after-retailer-warns-of-weak-q1-results-withdraws-fy25-guidance-we-are-clearly-disappointed-with-our-execution">full-year 2025 guidance</a>.
What To Know: American Eagle shares fell nearly 15% in after-hours trading Tuesday, before bouncing back a bit in Wednesday trading. The company reported preliminary first-quarter results that revealed disappointing sales and a significant inventory write-down.
The retailer said it expects first-quarter revenue of $1.1 billion, a 5% decline from the prior year. Comparable sales are projected to be down around 3%, with the American Eagle brand down 2% and the Aerie brand down 4%. The company said it anticipates an operating loss of approximately $85 million, or $68 million on an adjusted basis.
American Eagle attributed the weak quarter to poor execution, citing ineffective merchandising strategies that led to higher-than-expected promotions and excess spring and summer inventory. As a result, the company recorded a $75 million inventory write-down. 
CEO Jay Schottenstein acknowledged the misstep, stating that the company was &#8220;clearly disappointed&#8221; with its execution. He noted that results fell short of expectations and that inventory had not been aligned with consumer demand. Schottenstein also said the company entered the second quarter in a &#8220;better position,&#8221; which may be providing some relief on Wednesday.
American Eagle withdrew its full-year guidance due to broader macroeconomic uncertainty. While American Eagle said it entered the second quarter with better inventory positioning, the company is still actively reviewing its forward strategy and product performance. 
The company will release full first-quarter results after the close on May 29 and will host a conference call to discuss the quarter in more detail at 4:30 p.m. that day.
AEO Price Action: American Eagle shares were down 4.13% at $12.20 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) issued its 2025 Summer Release, where it made several announcements.
Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Airbnb</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587e33195064ed000173030b/eric-sheridan">Analyst Eric Sheridan</a> reiterated a Neutral rating and price target of $139.
The analyst mentioned three main announcements by the company:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Introduction of Airbnb Services: These include 10 services, such as chefs, prepared meals and photography, that guests can book during their stay.</li>
<li>Introduction of Airbnb Experiences: "After rolling back their prior Experiences offering, the company reimagined Experiences from the ground up and will launch the offering across five main categories (e.g. History &amp; Culture, Food &amp; Drink, etc.) in 650 cities worldwide," Sheridan wrote.</li>
<li>App Redesign: Design and functionality improvements were announced for both the guest and the host to increase intuitiveness.</li>
</ul>
While these initiatives align with the company's "long-stated goal of executing against a multi-faceted growth opportunity," there is low visibility into how long these investments will be needed to scale the initiatives and when they will <a>contribute towards incremental growth</a>, he further stated.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Needham On Airbnb</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587635595064ed000140010c/scott-berg">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587635595064ed000140010c/scott-berg">Bernie McTernan</a> reaffirmed a Hold rating on the stock.
Airbnb's announcements were broadly as expected, McTernan said. The relaunch of Experiences makes sense, as it helps aggregate supply that are disparate, he added.
"The difficulty is sizing the benefit as there is a wide range of potential outcomes, we think the bull bear variance will be large," the analyst wrote. For Airbnb to grow bookings buy more than 12.5% in 2026, Experiences and Services would have to drive bookings of $2.5 billion, he further stated.
ABNB Price Action: Shares of Airbnb had risen by 0.74% to $139.07 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

The Details: As part of the visit, the Trump administration announced the rescinding of Biden-era restrictions on the export of advanced U.S. AI chips, clearing the way for Nvidia and other American firms to supply processors to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. 
Nvidia announced that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA#:~:text=Saudi%20Arabia%20Bets,expand%20global%20demand">it partnered </a>with several leading Saudi organizations to collaborate on AI initiatives.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the Biden administration implemented restrictions on the export of advanced semiconductor chips to Saudi Arabia, primarily due to concerns about potential risks to U.S. national security and the possibility of these chips being diverted to China

HUMAIN, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund dedicated to artificial intelligence, will construct AI factories across Saudi Arabia powered by several hundred thousand of Nvidia's most advanced GPUs over the next five years with a projected total capacity of up to 500 megawatts.&nbsp;
The first stage of the rollout features the deployment of an 18,000-unit Nvidia GB300 Grace Blackwell AI supercomputer, integrated with Nvidia InfiniBand networking for high-speed connectivity.
In addition, HUMAIN will introduce Saudi Arabia's first Nvidia Omniverse Cloud platform, enabling the simulation and testing of physical AI solutions through digital twins.&nbsp;
&#8220;AI, like electricity and internet, is essential infrastructure for every nation,&#8221; Huang said. &#8220;Together with HUMAIN, we are building AI infrastructure for the people and companies of Saudi Arabia to realize the bold vision of the Kingdom.&#8221;
Additionally, Nvidia and the Saudi Data &amp; AI Authority (SDAIA) will deploy up to 5,000 Blackwell GPUs to establish a sovereign AI factory and advance smart city initiatives. The partnership will also provide training for government and university scientists and engineers to equip them with the skills needed to develop and implement models for both physical and agentic AI.&nbsp;
It was also announced that Aramco Digital will build AI computing infrastructure, partner with Nvidia's startup ecosystem, launch AI enterprise platforms, and establish a center of excellence for engineering and robotics incorporating Nvidia technologies.
Expert Ideas: Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya estimated the size of the HUMAIN deals to be between $2 billion to $3 billion annually, likely starting in 2025, with a total of between $15 billion and $20 billion over a multi-year period. 
The analyst also pointed to Sovereign AI as a potential offset to China export restrictions and limited data center power capabilities in the U.S.
Bank of America maintained its Buy rating on Nvidia shares and raised its price target from $150 to $160 on the Saudi investments.

In the current market session, Chemed Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHE#NYSE">CHE</a>) price is at $571.49, after a 2.57% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 4.54%, and in the past year, by 2.35%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747238428_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Chemed 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 55.75 in the Health Care Providers &amp; Services industry, Chemed Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 27.17. 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/2025/1747238428_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.
