However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 2.33%, and in the past year, by 85.99%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746050418_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Palomar Hldgs P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Palomar Hldgs has a better P/E ratio of 33.02 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 16.65 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that Palomar Hldgs 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/2025/1746050418_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.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

$100 Invested In O'Reilly Automotive 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Wall Street suffered a reality check during the midweek session, with reports coming in that the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/45108426/as-growth-falters-sentiment-slips-economist-says-risks-to-the-economic-outlook-are-increasing">economy contracted for the first time</a> in three years during the beginning of 2025. 
This period coincided with a surge of imports arriving ahead of President Donald Trump's tariffs, which landed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">GDP in negative territory</a> in the first quarter. While the news pushed market indices into the red, tech giant IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) eked out a gain.
It could be a sample of potential narratives that may soon materialize into the present realm. While tech will almost certainly be a place where businesses look to make some budget cuts — along with other areas — there's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/03/44501515/cybersecurity-stocks-to-outperform-its-the-one-line-item-that-no-company-in-the-world-is-cutting-josh-brown">certain floor</a> when it comes to the broader IT machinery that cannot be touched. Not too long ago, Ritholtz Wealth Management's Josh Brown made a compelling argument about the cybersecurity sector.
Essentially, modern companies can't take the corporate chainsaw to certain digital infrastructural components that keep the entire machinery running. To cut cybersecurity, according to Brown, represents an "out-of-business risk."
Brown pointed to the bankruptcy of 23andMe Holding Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEHCQ#OTC">MEHCQ</a>) as an example of the dire consequences of neglecting cybersecurity resilience. The same lesson can be applied to the broader IT machinery, IBM's stronghold. Therefore, even amid the worrying macro environment, IBM stock offers reasonable insulation.
In addition, the company nicknamed Big Blue recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45079132/whats-going-on-with-ibm-stock-today">bumped up its regular quarterly cash dividend</a> to $1.68 per share. This increase is scheduled for payment on June 10, 2025, to shareholders on record as of May 9.
Notably, the dividend boost marks the 30th consecutive year the tech giant has raised its dividend. The company has also maintained a streak of uninterrupted payouts since 1916, thus reinforcing the economic resilience narrative.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Demand Swing Incoming for IBM Stock</h1>
On surface level, IBM stock appears to represent a technical discount. Relative to its February closing high, the security is down by approximately 9%. At the same time, using price to project future price movements is a haphazard approach. Since price is a scalar, continuous signal, it offers no fundamental meaning.
In other words, price and demand are not the same thing. Price is merely the recording of when demand was exercised and the actual figure could theoretically be anything. In contrast, demand is a defined, discrete event. It's either happening or it's not. There are no half-demand states of existence.
Put another way, for any given trading session, the market makes a choice: it's either a net buyer, in which case demand rises, or it's not a net buyer, in which case supply rises. It's not so much about the magnitude and price point of bullishness that matters, but whether, at a particular point in time, investors saw enough of a reason to place their capital at risk.
For IBM stock, the last 10 weeks have been bearishly dominated, resulting in a "3-7" sequence: three weeks up, seven weeks down, with a negative trajectory across the period. Granted, the one-week upside probability following the 3-7 sequence only mildly favors the bulls at 51.22%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-895740" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
However, the key with IBM stock is demand resilience. In the past three years, IBM has not been able to print a consecutive 10-week series where down weeks outnumber up weeks. For example, about a year ago, IBM posted a 3-7 sequence. Subsequently, investors responded with a 6-4 and 8-2 sequence before a stalemate 5-5 sequence.
No, obviously, IBM stock is not immune to downside. However, when the pessimism is prolonged, the bulls tend to respond like clockwork.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive Play on Big Blue</h1>
What's beautiful about IBM stock is that it's a hybrid opportunity. 
For those seeking income-generating shelter amid the possible economic storm, Big Blue offers an attractive idea within the tech ecosystem. At the same time, it also offers the potential — with the leverage of multi-leg options strategies — to take small gains and convert them to giant payouts.
Consider the 242.50/245 bull call spread expiring May 16 as a prime example. This transaction involves buying the $242.50 call and simultaneously selling the $245 call, for a net debit paid of $126. Should IBM stock rise through the short strike price of $245 at expiration, the maximum reward is $124, or a payout of over 98%.
The above options strategy is attractive because if IBM stock follows the projected positive pathway over the next three weeks, it should land near the $250 mark. That should provide an extra few bucks of safety margin relative to the short strike price.

Elon Musk says he just couldn't land a regular job.
Speaking at the <a href="https://youtu.be/fWCCcgVwNJ0?si=X_koAoX9D-_E3UB6">Montana Jobs Summit back in 2013</a>, Musk shared the real reason he started his first internet company back in 1995 — and it wasn't because he wanted to. It was because nobody would hire him.
"The only reason I started an Internet company back in 1995 was because there were only a few internet companies and I couldn't get a job at any of them," Musk said. "I tried to get a job at Netscape and sent my resume in and tried hanging out in the lobby. But I was too shy to talk to anyone. Then I was like, okay, I guess I'll have to start a company because I can't get a job anywhere."

</ul>
At 17, Musk left South Africa with little more than ambition and a Canadian passport, thanks to his mother's citizenship. His first jobs weren't glamorous. According to Ashlee Vance's biography "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future," Musk started out shoveling grain bins and picking vegetables on a farm in tiny Waldeck, Saskatchewan. Population: barely 300.
After that, he graduated to cutting logs with a chainsaw in Vancouver, then took an even rougher job after asking the unemployment office what paid best. Their answer? Shoveling steaming hot, toxic gunk out of a lumber mill's boiler room.
For $18 an hour, Musk had to crawl through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41416221/elon-musk-spent-his-teen-years-working-odd-jobs-in-canada-for-18-an-hour-hed-clean-the-boiler-room-w">claustrophobic tunnel in a hazmat suit</a>, shoveling residue out through the same hole he entered. As Musk described it, "There is no escape. Someone else on the other side has to shovel it into a wheelbarrow. If you stay in there for more than 30 minutes, you get too hot and die."
Trending: Donald Trump Just Announced a $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Deal — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/seize-a-share-while-you-still-can-in-the-2-trillion-entertainment-market-with-elf-labs-at-just-2-25-share">Here's How You Can Invest in the Entertainment Market's Next Big Disruptor for Just $998</a>
Of the thirty people who started the job that week, only three — including Musk — survived to the end.
Eventually, Musk decided the whole manual labor thing wasn't a long-term play. He earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and was accepted into Stanford's graduate program. But instead of attending, he gambled on Silicon Valley's infant internet industry.
Unfortunately, the internet wasn't quite ready to welcome him either.
Despite credentials from Wharton and acceptance into Stanford's physics program, Musk didn't have the one thing Netscape wanted: a computer science degree and software company experience.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
No job offers came. Musk had no backup plan. So he built his own.
The company he launched — Zip2 — eventually sold to Compaq for roughly $300 million in 1999. From there, Musk plowed ahead: founding X.com, which evolved into PayPal, selling it to eBay for $1.5 billion, and then launching the companies that would make him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">the richest man in the world</a>.
It's easy to look at Musk's empire now and think it was inevitable. But it started the same way a lot of entrepreneurial stories do: with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43127899/elon-musks-ex-wife-says-he-was-bullied-by-kids-at-school-but-became-richest-man-in-the-world-so-no-one-is-throwing-soda-cans-at-him-now">rejection, discomfort, and a decision to move forward anyway</a>.
If Netscape had just hired the shy kid awkwardly loitering in their lobby, today's tech world might look very different.

Elon Musk Says He Was Too Shy to Get Hired — After Manual Labor Gigs and Failing to Land a Job, He Said: 'I Guess I'll Have to Start a Company'

The U.S. is gearing up for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44880439/80-of-americans-say-the-country-would-be-better-off-with-more-manufacturing-jobs-but-only-25-want-one-themselves">major manufacturing boom</a>, with nearly 4 million new factory jobs expected to be created by 2033. However, a major hurdle is already clear: the next generation of workers doesn't seem interested.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Manufacturing Boom Meets Labor Shortage</h2>
According to <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/manufacturing/supporting-us-manufacturing-growth-amid-workforce-challenges.html">Deloitte</a>, America's manufacturing industry will need to fill 3.8 million jobs by 2033. Part of the need stems from baby boomers retiring, while new jobs are being created by growing industries like clean energy and semiconductor production.
Despite this surge, half of these positions are projected to go unfilled. A <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90971832/gen-z-careers-factory-manufacturing-low-pay-survey">survey</a> from Soter Analytics shows that just 14% of Gen Z say they would consider a career in industrial work.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Gen Z Isn't Interested</h2>
While Gen Z is moving away from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42496912/warren-buffett-doesnt-believe-college-is-for-everyone-none-of-his-3-kids-finished-if-you-pool-their-credits-you-got-a-degree">traditional four-year college degrees</a> and embracing blue-collar work in fields like plumbing, carpentry, and electrical trades, manufacturing doesn&#8217;t seem to have the same appeal. Soter Analytics data shows that one in five Gen Zers believe industrial work pays poorly, and that perception is a key factor in their disinterest.&nbsp;
According to <a href="https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Manufacturing-Salary">ZipRecruiter</a>, manufacturing jobs currently offer an average wage of around $25 per hour, or roughly $52,000 per year — lower than the national average salary of $62,088. Compared to the six-figure earning potential of other trades, factory work often feels like a financial step down.
Safety and flexibility also play important roles. Soter Analytics found that 26% of Gen Z workers believe industrial jobs lack flexible hours, a major drawback for a generation that prioritizes work-life balance. Concerns about physical safety further deter interest, with about a quarter of respondents viewing industrial jobs as unsafe.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blue-Collar Appeal — But Not on the Factory Floor</h2>
Gen Z's interest in blue-collar work is rising in general. Enrollment in trade-focused community colleges has surged, and programs in construction and HVAC work are attracting more students than ever, according to Fortune. These careers offer independence, flexible hours, and high earning potential — key priorities for young workers today.
However, manufacturing roles are often perceived as rigid, repetitive, and lacking clear advancement opportunities. In fact, 32% of Gen Z respondents told Soter Analytics they would be more interested in industrial work if it clearly led to corporate positions — suggesting that without visible career ladders, factories may continue to struggle to attract young talent.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Immigration and Policy Challenges</h2>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">labor shortage</a> could be exacerbated further by immigration policy. As Fortune reports, America&#8217;s manufacturing industry has historically leaned on immigrant workers to fill gaps, but recent policies aimed at limiting immigration could &#8220;wreak havoc on the sector's labor supply,&#8221; particularly as boomers retire en masse.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tough Road Ahead</h2>
Manufacturers are aware of the challenge. Matthew Hart, founder and CEO of Soter Analytics, explained, &#8220;There is opportunity to bring Gen Z into the industrial workforce, but employers will need to shift in a few key ways to make this transition possible.&#8221; Offering more flexible schedules, improving safety standards, and providing clearer career paths could be critical strategies.
Without these changes, even as opportunities grow, filling America's next generation of factory jobs may prove harder than ever.
