Kemper To Rally More Than 25%? Here Are 4 Top Analyst Forecasts For Thursday

In the current market session, Academy Sports Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASO#NASDAQ">ASO</a>) share price is at $56.61, after a 2.74% drop. Over the past month, the stock increased by 20.93%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 9.76%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable 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/2024/1735227018_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Academy Sports 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.34 in the Specialty Retail industry, Academy Sports Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.62. 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/2024/1735227018_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 Academy Sports Inc's Price Over Earnings

In the footsteps of tech titans like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, real estate mogul Grant Cardone is making waves in Florida.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38921483/grant-cardone-hunts-for-multifamily-deals-in-sun-belt-as-market-struggles-with-declining-rents">Cardone has launched a groundbreaking investment fund</a> that merges real estate and cryptocurrency, according to Realtor.com. He believes the innovative approach can stabilize the volatile crypto market by balancing Bitcoin investments with the steady cash flow generated from a portfolio of 300 residential properties.
The ambitious fund seeks to raise $87.5 million, with a minimum investment of $250,000 per investor.

</ul>
"I make the purchase with my money and I pay cash for the real estate and the Bitcoin at purchase," Cardone told Realtor.com. "Then I offer it to my audience of investors and partners at the same price I purchased it. We have no debt."
For the next 48 months, the cash flow generated from the real estate portfolio will be systematically reinvested to purchase an additional $14 million worth of Bitcoin. The reinvestment strategy is expected to yield significant returns. Cardone claims historical performance suggests Bitcoin could appreciate to about $30 million over four years.
"This takes the volatility out of the Bitcoin because the real estate is cash flowing every month," Cardone said.
At the end of 48 months, the Bitcoin acquired through cash flow reinvestment will be liquidated. Investors will receive their initial capital back while retaining ownership of both the real estate and their original Bitcoin investment.

The innovative approach, combining the traditionally stable real estate market with the often unpredictable cryptocurrency market, raises questions about its feasibility: Can this unconventional strategy truly yield the desired results?
Yoann Dorat, a real estate agent at One Sotheby's International Realty in West Palm Beach, Florida, believes it may work.
"It's an interesting concept, like mixing two different worlds: one that's known for steady appreciation and reliable returns and another that's, well, the Wild West," Dorat said. "If you're comfortable with both real estate fundamentals and the roller-coaster nature of crypto, it might be worth exploring."
Cardone emphasizes the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39318291/grant-cardone-claims-california-lost-1-billion-after-his-2012-exodus-to-florida">significant returns</a> he has achieved with his Bitcoin investment. In 2013, he received 100 Bitcoin for a speaking engagement in Las Vegas, a relatively small sum then valued at about $500. Today, that investment has yielded a remarkable return, with the current value of those Bitcoins estimated at around $10 million.
"I didn't even know what Bitcoin was, but I was like, ‘Let's do it,'" he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's Bitcoin Real Estate Fund Targets Space Coast&nbsp;</h2>
Cardone's Bitcoin real estate fund will focus on properties along Florida's Space Coast, a region renowned for its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.
The 72-mile stretch of coastline encompasses communities like Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Titusville, offering a diverse range of housing options from $99,000 starter homes to luxury properties exceeding $6 million.
Cardone acknowledges that Musk&#8217;s SpaceX presence was a significant factor in his decision to invest in the region.
"I love Elon," said Cardone, whose investment firm owns about 10,000 units in Florida. "In one of our apartment buildings, where the average rent is $1,859 monthly, you can watch rockets from your patio."
Blue Origin, the private space company founded by Bezos, has invested over $1 billion in the Space Coast, enhancing the region's appeal to investors and homebuyers.

Cardone's real estate fund is likely to appeal to two main audiences:
&nbsp; Traditional real estate investors unfamiliar with decentralized finance (DeFi): These investors may be interested in the fund to gain exposure to cryptocurrency without having to directly invest in Bitcoin or other digital assets.
&nbsp; Crypto enthusiasts who are interested in using their cryptocurrency holdings to invest in real estate: These investors are unlikely to be interested in the fund's current structure, which involves converting Bitcoin into cash to purchase real estate. They would likely prefer to be able to use Bitcoin directly to purchase property or obtain crypto mortgages.
"As more investment models incorporate Bitcoin with traditional assets, adoption is likely to grow across diverse investor profiles," said Ronen Cojocaru, CEO of 8081.io, a web 3.0 fintech digital asset trading company.
Cardone's Bitcoin real estate fund is limited to accredited investors with a net worth of at least $1 million or an annual income exceeding $200,000 for the past two years.
However, Cardone aims to change this Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirement, advocating for equal investment opportunities for accredited and nonaccredited investors. He believes that people with smaller amounts, like $5,000, should have the same access and argues the SEC shouldn't dictate investment decisions.
Cardone plans to launch 12 similar funds by April.

Grant Cardone Launches New Fund – 'It's Like Mixing Two Different Worlds'

A plane <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kazakhstan">crash in Kazakhstan</a> has prompted Azerbaijan to mourn the loss of 38 lives on Thursday while questions swirl around the cause.
What Happened: The Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190, en route from Baku to Grozny, Russia, diverted due to adverse weather conditions and crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, approximately 3 kilometers from the airport on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. The AP <a href="https://apnews.com/article/azerbaijan-airliner-crash-aktau-kazakstan-embraer-872800d95273ee96e0950192a32e5228">reports </a>that speculation has risen about the circumstances leading to the crash, which injured all 29 survivors.
Initial reports indicate a bird strike forced the pilots to change course. Theories also emerged that the aircraft may have been unintentionally targeted by Russian air defense systems amid ongoing drone attacks in the North Caucasus.
Osprey Flight Solutions, a United Kingdom-based aviation security firm, suggested this incident could reflect broader risks tied to Russia's heightened military activity during its conflict with Ukraine, according to the AP. &#8220;It's painful to know that despite our efforts, lives were lost in a way that could have been avoided,&#8221; Osprey CEO Andrew Nicholson wrote.
The crash has left Azerbaijan and neighboring nations grieving. Flags across Azerbaijan were lowered, and a moment of silence was observed nationwide. Survivors included citizens of Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, with nine Russian nationals flown to Moscow for medical treatment. 
Kazakhstan's parliamentary speaker cautioned against premature conclusions, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation.

Why It Matters: The tragedy underscores the volatile environment surrounding Russia's military operations. While Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov urged restraint in speculation, recent drone attacks in the region have intensified scrutiny.
The AP reports that Ukrainian drone attacks in the North Caucasus and unverified claims of another on Wednesday have fueled speculation that Russian air defenses may have mistakenly targeted the plane.
In related geopolitical developments, Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42575876/russian-president-says-hes-willing-to-meet-trump-at-any-time-for-dialogue">openness to dialogue</a> with President-elect Donald Trump, potentially setting the stage for discussions that might address broader regional instability. 
Trump, who assumes office in January, has expressed a desire to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-19/putin-says-he-s-ready-to-meet-trump-hasn-t-seen-syria-s-assad">reports </a>that Putin is prepared for talks "at any time" to resolve pressing issues.

Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly agreed to pay $1 million and implement significant reforms in its advertising system in Israel following a settlement filed in the District Labor Court.
The settlement addresses allegations of discriminatory job advertising practices on its platform, which allowed employers to restrict job ads based on age and gender, Globes <a target="_blank" href="https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-meta-to-pay-$1m-to-settle-job-ads-discrimination-suit-1001497837#:~:text=Meta%20(formerly%20Facebook)%20will%20pay,in%20the%20District%20Labor%20Court." rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The case began in September 2021 when Ya'ala Lev, a 54-year-old marketing professional, discovered she was excluded from many job ads on Facebook.

An investigation revealed that Facebook's campaign management system enabled employers to narrowly target candidates by age, gender, and location, leaving entire groups, particularly those over 40, unseen by these ads.
High-profile employers, including Israel Electric Corporation and the Bank of Israel, were found using the platform exclusively to target younger candidates. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission intervened, citing the matter as critical to employment equality with significant societal implications.
Under the settlement, Meta will pay $1 million to the Israeli Ministry of Justice's class actions fund and enforce critical changes to its advertising system in Israel, per the report. Advertisers in the country must reconfirm their adherence to anti-discrimination policies. Additionally, Meta will publish guidelines in Hebrew detailing how to post inclusive job ads and emphasizing the legal obligation to ensure equal access for all candidates.
Meta held $70.9 billion in cash and equivalents as of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai" rel="noreferrer noopener">September 30, 2024</a>.
The Facebook parent remains embroiled in several antitrust lawsuits for allegedly exploiting its influence to stifle competition. In November, the European Commission <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41981957/meta-hit-with-841-million-eu-fine-over-antitrust-violations-tied-to-facebook-marketplace" rel="noreferrer noopener">fined the company</a> $841 million for linking its classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, with its social media network, Facebook.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Gain, Dogecoin Falls; Zoomcar Soars 100% On Booking Surge; China's EV Industry Outpaces Rivals, Tesla Still Poised For Gains - Top Headlines Today While US Slept

A new Messari report points to potential headwinds from regulatory uncertainty and broader economic vulnerabilities in its 2025 preview for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42457605/exclusive-experts-share-their-top-crypto-predictions-for-2025">the digital asset sector</a>.
What Happened: The <a href="https://messari.io/report-pdf/a929cd003f5eec790275e05ae8ef28cf4a6b4bfc.pdf">report</a> suggests that positive developments are counterbalanced by persistent risks, calling for a balanced outlook.
In 2024, traditional markets climbed a &#8220;wall of worry,&#8221; driven by a resilient U.S. economy and a shift toward easing monetary policy. 
Despite some volatility related to geopolitical tensions and the yen-carry trade, risk assets generally performed well. 
While the macroeconomic backdrop appears supportive for crypto in 2025, the report cautions that potential disappointments in the Trump presidency could undermine market sentiment.
Positive macro developments notwithstanding, the crypto market faced unique challenges this year.
Headwinds included German government selling, Mt. Gox distributions, a DOJ investigation into Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), and a hostile regulatory environment marked by SEC lawsuits against major industry players. 
The election of a new administration brought a shift in crypto policy expectations. 
Promises include forming a crypto advisory council, ending the &#8220;unlawful crypto crackdown,&#8221; and supporting Bitcoin mining. 
However, the report emphasizes that while a more favorable regulatory environment is anticipated, lasting clarity is expected to come from Congress rather than the SEC, creating potential risks.
The report indicates that stablecoin legislation is likely in 2025 with a robust state pathway for issuers.
Decentralized stablecoins may still face regulatory disadvantages, with Congress likely to take action to limit the illicit use of mixers while protecting financial privacy.

Why It Matters: Institutions are increasing their involvement in crypto through ETF investments, tokenized treasuries and stablecoin initiatives.
Blackrock&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF has shown rapid growth, and traditional firms are launching their own on-chain money market funds. 
The blurring of fintech, payments and crypto is accelerating, with firms like PayPal (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) launching stablecoins on multiple chains.
The report emphasizes these developments as evidence of increased institutional confidence and concludes that despite positive shifts in policy and institutional involvement, the crypto industry&#8217;s risk is not insignificant.

 </style>After thoroughly examining Amazon.com, the following trends can be inferred: 
<ul>
<li>
At 48.94, the stock's Price to Earnings ratio significantly exceeds the industry average by 1.89x, suggesting a premium valuation relative to industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 9.29 relative to the industry average by 1.42x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 3.95, which is 2.35x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 6.19% that is 0.94% below the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits potential inefficiency in utilizing equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The company has higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $32.08 Billion, which is 4.91x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has higher gross profit of $31.0 Billion, which indicates 2.29x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
With a revenue growth of 11.04%, which surpasses the industry average of 7.77%, the company is demonstrating robust sales expansion and gaining market share.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735225242_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When assessing Amazon.com against its top 4 peers using the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following comparisons can be made:
<ul>
<li>
Amazon.com demonstrates a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers in the sector.
</li>
<li>
With a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.52, the company relies less on debt financing and maintains a healthier balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Amazon.com, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all high compared to its peers in the Broadline Retail industry, indicating that the stock may be overvalued. The low ROE suggests that Amazon.com is not generating strong returns on shareholder equity. However, the high EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth show that the company is performing well in terms of operational efficiency and revenue generation within the industry sector.

Insights Into Amazon.com's Performance Versus Peers In Broadline Retail Sector

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40605821/charlie-munger-said-you-dont-need-to-own-a-lot-of-things-in-order-to-get-rich-but-believed-you-a">Charlie Munger's wit, wisdom and unapologetic candor</a> were on full display during a fireside chat in 2014, during which he delved into everything from Benjamin Graham&#8217;s genius to the simplicity behind Berkshire Hathaway's success.&nbsp;
Now, reflecting on his life after his passing last year, these quotes carry an even sharper edge. Munger, who famously partnered with Warren Buffett for decades, had a knack for making complex ideas sound almost insultingly simple. But that's the thing – what sounded simple was usually a lifetime of distilled brilliance.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<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>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Take his view on Benjamin Graham, for example. Graham, the legendary "father of value investing," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42624559/warren-buffett-says-a-surge-in-people-doing-big-dumb-things-is-tied-to-historically-easy-access-to-other-peoples-money">changed Warren Buffett's life</a>. To Buffett, Graham was almost a deity and his teachings formed the bedrock of Buffett's early investing philosophy. Munger, however, wasn't one to worship at the same altar.
"I don't love Ben Graham and his ideas the way Warren does," Munger admitted. "His methods were shaped by the Great Crash and the Depression and they left him with a permanent sense of fear about what the market could do." Munger saw Graham's cigar-butt investing strategy – buying dirt-cheap companies with little growth potential – as "a snare and a delusion." He bluntly concluded that Graham, while brilliant, "wasn't nearly as good an investor as Warren Buffett is or even as good as I am."
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 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>
But here's where Munger's genius shines: his insistence on knowing what you don't know. "Knowing what you don't know is more useful than being brilliant," he said, channeling Confucius, Aristotle and Socrates all at once. Munger likened it to the survival instincts of a tightrope walker who can't afford to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42597180/even-in-2023-charlie-munger-said-elon-musk-overestimates-himself-but-credited-his-success-to-one-key-factor">overestimate his abilities</a>. This relentless focus on self-awareness, rather than intellectual showmanship, is what set Munger and Buffett apart.
When it came to Berkshire Hathaway, Munger was equally unromantic. "There isn't one novel thought in all of how Berkshire is run," he said. Instead, it was about what his friend Peter Kaufman called "exploiting unrecognized simplicities." At its core, Berkshire was a community of like-minded people making decisions that often felt like no-brainers, thanks to their shared values.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
"Warren and I aren't prodigies," Munger confessed. "We can't play chess blindfolded or be concert pianists. But the results are prodigious." And that's the paradox of Munger's brilliance. He and Buffett didn't aim to dazzle with raw IQ; they simply played the long game, avoided stupid mistakes and refused to get swept up in the chaos of quarterly earnings.
Munger also touched on Berkshire's culture of candor: "Warren likes to say, ‘Just tell us the bad news; the good news can wait.'" This emphasis on honesty and long-term over short-term results wasn't just a strategy – it was a philosophy that built trust and prevented small problems from turning into disasters.
Now, with Munger gone, his words take on the weight of legacy. They're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41909554/warren-buffett-told-young-investors-to-buy-homes-instead-of-stocks-calling-30-year-mortgages-a-terrific-deal">not just advice for investors – </a>they're a blueprint for thinking clearly in a noisy, overcomplicated world. It's a reminder that brilliance isn't about knowing everything; it's about knowing what matters – and, just as importantly, what doesn't.
