<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Berkshire&#8217;s Portfolio Sending A Message</h2>
<p>According to its first quarter <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1350694/000117266125001828/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml">13F filin</a>g, the world's largest hedge fund slashed its top holding — the  <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — by nearly 60%, dumping 4.9 million shares. The fund still holds over 3.3 million SPY shares, but the dramatic trim slashed its portfolio weighting from 22.1% to just 8.7%.</p>
<p>It didn't stop there. <strong>Nvidia Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <strong>Meta Platforms Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and <strong>Alphabet Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) all got haircuts, with share reductions of 18.7%, 31.5%, and 16% respectively. These aren't minor trims — they're deliberate signals. </p>
<p>Dalio may no longer be Bridgewater's CEO, but his macro fingerprints still linger in the firm's playbook.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold In, Tech Out?</h2>
<p>If there's a pivot in the air, it's sparkling — Bridgewater added a fresh position in <strong>SPDR Gold Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), which now ranks in its top ten holdings. Combined with fresh buying in <strong>Alibaba Group Holding Ltd</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#NYSE">BABAF</a>) and a double-down in emerging markets via the <strong>iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEMG#NYSE">IEMG</a>), the shift feels tactical — away from frothy U.S. equities, toward value, hedges, and international exposure.</p>
<p>Interestingly, while SPY took a hit, its ETF cousins <strong>iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) and IEMG saw inflows. It's not a total U.S. equity exodus — it's a reallocation. And that's a warning worth watching.</p>
<p>For holders of SPY, IVV, and VOO, the message is mixed. While SPY got snipped, IVV was topped up. Bridgewater's moves suggest caution, not panic — but if Dalio's reading tea leaves, he's seeing clouds.</p>

Spotlight on Doximity: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

<p>In the current session, the stock is trading at $360.06, after a <strong>2.47%</strong> increase. Over the past month, <strong>Sherwin-Williams Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>)</strong> stock increased by <strong>8.00%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>15.26%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.</p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747332065_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>Sherwin-Williams P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Sherwin-Williams has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>167.42</strong> of the Chemicals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747332065_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>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>

Deep Dive Into Vital Energy Stock: Analyst Perspectives (11 Ratings)

<p><strong>Green Brick Partners's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRBK#NYSE">GRBK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.68% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>1.06 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 3.46% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 3.92 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>See Also:</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage"><strong>List of the most shorted stocks</strong></a></p>

<h3>Comparing Green Brick Partners's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Green Brick Partners's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.77%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
