Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) stock traded lower Friday after its Thursday gains following upbeat quarterly results.
CFO Wendell Huang told Bloomberg that the contract chipmaker plans to stay cautious with spending in 2025 while accelerating global expansion to meet booming AI chip demand.
The company may invest up to $42 billion in capex this year, but is closely watching macro and foreign exchange risks, especially sharp currency swings that threaten margins.

The key Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier is fast-tracking its Arizona projects, aiming to begin production at a second plant by 2027 and potentially advancing a third due to customer demand.
Huang said the company expects up to 30% of its advanced 2nm capacity from Arizona eventually.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor continues to review hedging strategies to navigate currency volatility, which Huang called a significant uncertainty.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings</h2>
Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46462634/nvidia-supplier-taiwan-semiconductor-on-a-roll-profit-explodes-with-strong-margin-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong second-quarter results</a>, beating expectations on revenue, profit, and margins, driven by surging AI chip demand.
The company posted quarterly revenue of $30.07 billion, up 44% year-over-year in USD terms and 38.6% in New Taiwanese dollars, topping guidance and driven by advanced 3nm and 5nm chip technologies.
Net income jumped 61% year over year to $2.47 per share, while gross margin expanded to 58.6% and operating margin hit 49.6%.
High-performance computing and smartphone chips contributed 87% of revenue, with North America accounting for 75% of total sales.
For the third quarter, it expects revenue between $31.8 billion and $33 billion, with gross margins of 55.5%–57.5%. It cites strong demand for its cutting-edge process nodes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Opinion</h2>
Needham analyst Charles Shi maintained a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating on</a> Taiwan Semiconductor with a price forecast of $270.
Shi commented that the chipmaker delivered another strong beat-and-raise quarter, raising the fiscal 2025 revenue growth outlook from 24-26% to ~30%.
The analyst highlighted that following a substantial 18% sequential growth in the second quarter (vs. 13% sequential guidance), Taiwan Semiconductor noted another 8% sequential growth in the third quarter (vs. prior implied guidance of ~flat sequential growth).
The company remains cautious on macro uncertainties and implied guidance for the fourth quarter represents a high-single-digit decline sequentially.
It hints that they are working on 2026 pricing increases, potentially offsetting foreign exchange induced gross margin dilutions, he told.
Taiwan Semiconductor has not received a signal from Nvidia to resume H20 production but sees substantial AI upside due to access to China, Shi noted.
As per the analyst, it signals continued CapEx growth in the future but hints at lower capital intensity in the future.
Shi projected third-quarter revenue of $32.4 billion (prior $29.3 billion) and EPADS of $2.65 (prior $2.40).
Price Action:&nbsp;TSM stock is trading lower by 0.37% to $244.70 at last check Friday.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Astera Labs

DraftKings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NYSE">DKNG</a>) short percent of float has risen 13.61% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 29.12 million shares sold short, which is 6.01% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.07 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

Shopify's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Vail Resorts's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) short percent of float has risen 15.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.36 million shares sold short, which is 11.99% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.86 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Vail Resorts has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Vail Resorts's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Vail Resorts's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 18.52%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In the current session, Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) is trading at $115.19, after a 1.01% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 1.07%, and in the past year, by 14.32%. 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/2025/1752858029_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Agilent Technologies P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</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. 
Agilent Technologies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 44.91 of the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services 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/2025/1752858029_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.

P/E Ratio Insights for Agilent Technologies

Real estate investor Grant Cardone has succeeded in multiple industries. He has started companies in multiple verticals while leveraging his personal brand to tap into new opportunities.
He recently revealed a <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1941398847374151968">six-step framework</a> for becoming a master in any industry. This outline reflects the stages you will encounter along the journey and what it takes to advance.
"Are you committed to becoming a master at your craft?" Cardone asked his followers.
If you're ready to become a leader in your industry, you can follow the framework that Cardone established.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Beginner Levels</h2>
Cardone mentions two beginner levels that focus on you building knowledge and applying what you learn with some guidance. The amateur/novice level is for people who have little to no experience. They don't know many of the nuances within the industry and rely on rules and instructions to advance.&nbsp;
After this level, you reach the apprentice/intermediate level, where you have some experience under your belt. You still need supervision for tasks, but the amount of supervision you need gradually decreases. You can also recognize patterns and adapt to specific situations.
You're automatically at the amateur/novice level by default, and a little bit of practice can get you to the apprentice/intermediate level. You can accelerate your path by working with a reliable mentor instead of tackling the new industry or skill on your own.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Intermediate Levels</h2>
The next two levels Cardone brings up are the practitioner/competent level and the expert/advanced level. Practitioners are able to work independently and can solve problems effectively. One of the weaknesses of a practitioner is that they may not be as innovative or creative as their peers. They can get problems done that are inside the box, but they may not have enough skill or experience for out-of-the-box thinking.
The expert level consists of people who have built deep knowledge in their field and can think creatively when they solve problems. Experts can mentor beginners and adapt comfortably as situations change.
While you can learn your way through the beginner levels, the intermediate levels place a stronger focus on experience. You have to turn your knowledge into action, and as you do, you will encounter various situations that offer valuable lessons. Experts still learn by reading books, watching videos, and listening to podcasts. However, they also feel confident with their knowledge and know that they can learn more from taking action than from a textbook.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Advanced Levels</h2>
The final two levels Cardone mentions are the master/sensei and the grandmaster/highest mastery levels. Masters are individuals who have become recognized authorities in their industries. They have technical skills and an intuitive understanding that they pass on to students. Some people view the master as a role model, but there is still one more level to climb.
The grandmaster level is reserved for a small few. These are the household names of the industry that redefine the industry and create new systems that many people try to adopt.&nbsp;
Your income will likely climb as you ascend this ladder of mastery, assuming you use these steps for an income-producing skill. However, you can also apply this framework to any hobby or activity that you want to master.

Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) stock has been on a wild roller coaster in recent years with investors changing valuation of the company based on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42144628/gta-6-trailer-2-fans-frustrated-as-rockstar-possibly-breaks-moon-theory">potential release dates </a>for the highly anticipated "Grand Theft Auto VI."
Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza shares his thoughts on how to value Take-Two stock and what's next for the company.
Take-Two Out In 2026?: After a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/05/45453761/gta-vi-delay-looms-over-take-two-earnings-sales-beat-eps-miss-outlook-updated"> long delay</a>, Mazza is confident that 2026 is the year the public sees "Grand Theft Auto VI" released to the public.
"Yes, Take-Two and Rockstar have locked in May 26, 2026, as the street date, pushing the project out of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027, but giving the team room to finish what CEO Strauss Zelnick calls ‘our most ambitious title ever,'" Mazza told Benzinga.
Mazza said that "barring force-majeure," the internal milestones and marketing spend on the new video game are now set for that key company date.
Prediction market <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxgta6/gta-6-release-date#gta6">Kalshi </a>has a betting market on when "Grand Theft Auto VI" will be released. The game being released before June 2026, which would be the current company date, is at 68%. The game being released before August 2026 sits at 84%. The market for the game being released before 2027 sits at 94% odds.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/GTA6?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=medium&#038;variant=a&#038;ids=GTA6-26DEC31&#038;ids=GTA6-26JUL31&#038;ids=GTA6-26MAY31" width="488px" height="196px" style="border:0"></iframe>
Video Game Pricing: One of the hot topics about the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI" is pricing, with reports that the game will have a higher price tag than other games.
"Rockstar's scope and marketing clout give it room to test higher price points as analysts expect $80 standard and $100-plus deluxe editions, but only a handful of ‘event' franchises can command that premium," Mazza said
Mazza named Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls and Call of Duty as franchises that can likely charge more for games. The Roundhill CEO doesn't think the higher pricing for this particular game will change the overall sector.
"Most publishers will still ship at $70 and rely on post-launch DLC or battle-passes to grow ARPU, while free-to-play giants compete on zero entry cost and monetize through cosmetics."

Valuing Take-Two Stock: Take-Two is the fourth-largest holding in the Roundhill Video Games ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NERD#NASDAQ">NERD</a>) which was launched back in 2019.
Mazza said the delay of "Grand Theft Auto VI" to the next fiscal year led to the stock falling 7% to 10% and around $2 billion in revenue forecasts going to the next year.
"Yet, sell-side targets still cluster around $235 to $240 on the view that a $3 billion-plus launch year in full year 2027 will dwarf the short-term gap," Mazza said.
Mazza said "the right lens is bookings visibility."
"Valuation therefore, rests on discounted cash flow that weights the out-year spike, balances mobile and sports portfolios in the interim, and assigns a probability discount to further slips. Long-only holders need patience; traders may treat the lull as optionality on flawless execution."
TTWO Price Action: Take-Two stock trades at $228.66 versus a 52-week trading range of $135.24 to $245.08. Take-Two stock is up 25.8% year-to-date in 2025.
