Total revenues increased 6.3%, primarily driven by growth in the Health Care Benefits and Pharmacy &amp; Consumer Wellness segments, partially offset by a decline in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41769047/cvs-health-corporation-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">Health Services segment</a>.
Adjusted EPS of $1.09 (inline with preliminary guidance of $1.05-$1.10) decreased from $2.21 in the prior year, missing the consensus of $1.53. The fall was primarily due to a decline in the Health Care Benefits segment&#8217;s operating results, which reflects continued utilization pressure and premium deficiency reserves of approximately $1.1 billion, related to anticipated losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 within the Medicare and individual <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41719665/cvs-health-q3-earnings-preview-can-the-company-overcome-recent-challenges" rel="noreferrer noopener">exchange product lines</a>.

Warren Buffett, one of the world&#8217;s most successful investors, has shared plenty of advice over his long career. But one <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33245523/warren-buffetts-no-1-investing-rule-dont-lose-money-practical-advice-for-a-billionaire-but-can-regul">piece of advice</a> stands out as his top rule: &#8220;The first rule of investment is don&#8217;t lose money.&#8221; And if you ask about the second rule? &#8220;Don&#8217;t forget the first.&#8221; According to Buffett, that&#8217;s all you need to know.

</ul>
It might sound simple — even a bit obvious. After all, who wants to lose money? But Buffett's point is more profound than it might first appear. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41091380/warren-buffet-tells-investors-to-give-up-on-me-vs-stock-approach-what-tells-you-whether-you-should-k">His investment philosophy</a> is about protecting what you already have. If you lose a big chunk of your investment, you need a huge return just to get back to where you started.&nbsp;
For example, when a stock drops by a big margin, it requires an even greater gain just to get back to its original value. It's much easier to prevent these kinds of losses in the first place than to claw your way back from them.&nbsp;
Of course, saying &#8220;don't lose money&#8221; is easier than actually following through, especially with the ups and downs of the stock market. But there are practical strategies investors can use to help follow Buffett&#8217;s rule.

You lower the chance of suffering a significant loss on any one investment by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-diversify-your-portfolio">distributing your funds over several stocks or sectors</a>. Your portfolio can still be balanced even if one or two stocks do not perform well.
Buffett is known for investing in businesses with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41252767/warren-buffetts-timeless-advice-is-to-invest-in-stocks-that-youd-be-perfectly-happy-to-hold-if-the-m">strong fundamentals</a> that he believes will be successful for many years to come. He prefers companies with a competitive edge, solid management, and products people will continue to buy. Instead of chasing the cheapest stocks, he looks for good companies at reasonable prices.
The market can be a rollercoaster, and emotions like fear or greed often cause people to make costly mistakes. Buffett's approach is to stay calm when others are panicking and to make decisions based on logic, not emotion.

It's worth noting that even Warren Buffett has lost money, and he has been open about what he thinks are his biggest investment mistakes. He has also stated that one of his worst missteps was purchasing Berkshire Hathaway, a textile company that was initially in decline. Nevertheless, Buffett has been successful over the long term despite these setbacks because he is focused on limiting losses and learning from his mistakes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Opinions</h2>
On the other hand, some investors think that taking measured risks, even at the expense of occasional losses, is a necessary component of attaining sizable returns, even if Buffett&#8217;s advice to avoid losses is generally accepted. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39360926/diversification-thats-for-idiots-mark-cuban-slams-warren-buffetts-investment-strategy-i-think-bu">Mark Cuban, for example, once said</a>, &#8220;Diversification, that&#8217;s for idiots&#8221; and that &#8220;buy and hold is a crock of s&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;.&#8221;
Plus, startups, emerging technologies, and high-growth companies often come with higher risk but also the potential for substantial gains — something that Buffett's cautious approach might miss.

'The First Rule Of Investment Is Don't Lose,' Says Warren Buffett. The Second Rule? Don't Forget The First — 'That's All The Rules'

In the current session, SBA Comms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBAC#NASDAQ">SBAC</a>) is trading at $218.54, after a 4.30% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.45%, and in the past year, by 0.22%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730906184_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at SBA Comms P/E Relative to Its 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. 
SBA Comms has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 52.76 of the Specialized REITs industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730906184_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.

On Tuesday, Exact Sciences Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>) reported a third-quarter EPS loss of $0.21, compared to a break-even a year ago, missing the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss estimate of $0.20.</a>
The reported quarterly sales of $708.66 million missed the consensus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41757648/exact-sciences-announces-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $717.66 million</a>.
Screening revenue was $545 million, an increase of 15%, and Precision Oncology&#8217;s revenue was $164 million, an increase of 5% on a reported and core revenue basis.

&#8220;While we have made progress, our execution during the third quarter and updated outlook for the full year don&#8217;t reflect our full potential. We plan to accelerate growth in 2025, and our long-term outlook remains strong,&#8221; said Kevin Conroy, chairman and CEO.
Guidance: Exact Sciences cuts its 2024 revenue guidance from $2.81 billion-$2.85 billion to $2.73 billion-$2.75 billion compared to the consensus of $2.832 billion.
The guidance includes a Screening sales forecast of $2.08 billion—$2.095 billion, compared to previous guidance of $2.155 billion—$2.175 billion.
Precision Oncology sales are expected to be $650 million- $655 million, down from prior guidance of $655 million &#8211; $675 million.
The company expects 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $310 million—$320 million, down from previous guidance of $335 million—$355 million.
William Blair notes that management attributed the lower-than-expected guidance primarily to challenges affecting the screening segment.
While these explanations are logical, they raise questions about why certain factors weren&#8217;t identified or addressed sooner. Management, however, took full responsibility and conveyed a sincere commitment to improving performance, the analyst writes.
Despite these hurdles, the analyst remains optimistic about revenue growth in 2025, highlighting several factors within the company&#8217;s control.
William Blair emphasizes that investors will likely want to see clear signs of improved execution and revenue growth resuming in 2025.
With shares trading down, the analyst writes that valuation is at a compelling long-term entry point.
Price Action: At last check on Wednesday, EXAS stock was down 28.50% at $51.16.

The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 71 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41769448/the-odp-corporation-announces-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the street view of $1.60.</a>
Quarterly sales of $1.780 billion, down 11% year-over-year, missed the analyst consensus of $1.820 billion.
The decrease in reported sales is largely related to lower sales in its Office Depot Division, primarily due to 53 fewer retail locations in service compared to the previous year and reduced transactions, as well as lower sales in its ODP Business Solutions Division.
&#8220;We&#8217;re leveraging our differentiated core strengths to pivot towards higher growth B2B opportunities, and we are beginning to see promising traction at both our ODP Business Solutions and Veyer Divisions,&#8221; said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer.&nbsp;

Outlook: ODP has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theodpcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/odp-corporation-announces-second-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowered </a>its full-year 2024 adjusted EPS guidance from a range of $4.25 &#8211; $5.00 to $3.10 &#8211; $3.80, below the $4.27 analyst estimate.
The company expects sales to be approximately $7 billion (prior view: at least $7 billion), compared to the $7.09 billion estimate.
Price Action: ODP shares are trading lower by 15.2% to $26.37 at last check Wednesday.
