In the current session, the stock is trading at $1522.98, after a 0.75% spike. Over the past month, TransDigm Gr Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDG#NYSE">TDG</a>) stock increased by 5.43%, and in the past year, by 19.49%. 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.

<h3>Comparing TransDigm Gr P/E Against Its Peers</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 120.59 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, TransDigm Gr Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 50.98. 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.

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.

What To Know: CoreWeave announced plans to significantly scale deployments worldwide after highlighting its first GB300 NVL72 deployment on Thursday. 
The GB300 NVL72 brings an upgrade in AI reasoning performance, offering as much as a 10x boost in user responsiveness and a 50x jump in inference output compared to the previous Nvidia Hopper architecture.

&#8220;CoreWeave is constantly working to push the boundaries of AI development further, deploying the bleeding-edge cloud capabilities required to train the next generation of AI models,&#8221; said Peter Salanki, co-founder and CTO of CoreWeave.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

One investor recently turned to Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1lkq7v7/what_percentage_of_cash_are_you_holding_now/">r/stocks</a> community with a simple but revealing question: &#8220;What percentage of cash are you holding now?&#8221; With markets pushing new highs and macro risks looming, he explained he was sitting on 25% cash, citing high price-to-earnings ratios, global tensions and general unease as his reasons for holding back.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Divided Crowd: From All-In To All-Out</h2>
The thread drew comments from people across the investing spectrum. Some were fully invested, others had pulled out almost entirely. The most commonly cited ranges were between 0% and 5% for long-term investors, and up to 50% or more for those bracing for a downturn.
&#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45848783/need-quick-cash-christine-benzs-top-5-tips-to-boost-your-emergency-fund">Emergency fund</a> only,&#8221; one top commenter said. &#8220;There are always risks and you miss out on a lot of potential by sitting on the sidelines. Most people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44610661/why-timing-the-market-is-a-terrible-idea">fail in trying to time the market</a> like this.&#8221;

</ul>
Another added, &#8220;I'm about 80% cash&#8230; I know I'm an idiot statistically speaking. Timing the market is bad. I get it. But damn it. I watch our government behave like children and freak the f out.&#8221;
Some users held cash strictly because of interest rates. &#8220;Cash is paying 4.2%, and many mortgages are locked in at less than that,&#8221; one person noted. &#8220;The opportunity cost of avoiding what appears to be a teetering market is pretty low.&#8221;
Others stayed aggressive. &#8220;I don't keep cash lying around, that's a waste of resources. You need to be in the market,&#8221; a user said.
Still, many agreed that the market feels unusual right now. One wrote, &#8220;If things aren't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-it-a-good-time-to-invest-in-the-stock-market">objectively risky</a> right now, then when? Risk should have tanked this market twice over, but everything gets shrugged off.&#8221;

Some admitted to recent panic selling, missing rallies, or simply feeling confused. &#8220;I pulled out in February/March before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45486508/scott-bessent-signals-liberation-day-2-0-coming-if-countries-dont-sign-trade-deals-president-trump-has-put-them-on-notice">Liberation day</a>, convinced the sky was falling&#8230; then got back in once most of it recovered,&#8221; a commenter said. &#8220;I'm sure all I've done is incur tax events, but I know I'm not unique in this monkey behavior.&#8221;
Several mentioned they were holding 10% to 30% cash as a buffer or &#8220;dry powder.&#8221;&nbsp;
A number of investors pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40431340/berkshires-latest-move-outpacing-the-fed-with-short-term-u-s-treasury-bills-what-buffett-knows-that">short-term Treasuries</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-high-yield-savings-accounts">high-yield savings accounts</a>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/06/46087443/money-market-funds-on-fire-as-902-billion-pours-in-why-these-safe-haven-investments-are-thriving-now">money market funds</a> were offering 4% to 5%, giving them less urgency to jump back into equities. &#8220;Why not get 4.5% on your emergency fund that's sitting around doing nothing in a savings account earning .01%?&#8221; a person asked.
Not everyone was anxious, though. &#8220;Zero. It's bull market time,&#8221; one said. Another added, &#8220;0% cash. I have no clue what's going to happen&#8230; I&#8217;ll keep putting money in every paycheck.&#8221;
One of the more reflective voices concluded, &#8220;Don't underestimate how much crazy sh&#x2A;t and risk is already priced in. A lot of people, myself included, would rather hold and have the market dip than sell and watch it pump.&#8221;

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has introduced a sweeping digital asset tax reform bill aimed at modernizing how cryptocurrencies are taxed in the United States, renewing her efforts to ease <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46227149/every-new-trillion-of-debt-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-is-free-adertising-for-bitcoin-expert-states">regulatory burdens on digital asset users.</a>
What Happened: The legislation, <a href="https://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/lummis-unveils-digital-asset-tax-legislation/">unveiled</a> on July 3, proposes to resolve several long-standing tax complications in the crypto sector, including a $300 de minimis exemption for small transactions, more practical tax treatment for mining and staking, and bringing parity between digital assets and traditional financial instruments.
"In order to maintain our competitive edge, we must change our tax code to embrace our digital economy, not burden digital asset users," Lummis said in a statement. 
She described the bill as fully paid for, designed to cut through red tape, and aimed at aligning tax rules with how digital technologies work in practice.
The bill addresses multiple areas that have been problematic for crypto users:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A de minimis rule would exempt gains from small transactions, up to $300 per transaction and capped at $5,000 annually, easing tax tracking for everyday crypto use such as small purchases.</li>
<li>Digital asset lending agreements would no longer be treated as taxable events, aligning crypto lending with the well-established securities lending framework.</li>
<li>A wash sale rule would now apply to digital assets, closing a tax loophole that allowed crypto traders to harvest tax losses in ways not permitted for stock investors.</li>
</ul>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The bill also introduces a mark-to-market tax election for digital asset dealers and traders, providing consistent treatment with their securities and commodities counterparts.</li>
<li>For miners and stakers, income recognition would be deferred until assets are sold, addressing liquidity concerns for those taxed on unrealized gains.</li>
<li>Additionally, the bill would remove the appraisal requirement for charitable donations of actively traded digital assets, encouraging more philanthropy from crypto holders.</li>
</ul>
The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the proposed reforms would generate about $600 million in net revenue over the 2025-2034 period.
What&#8217;s Next: Lummis invited public feedback on the bill, signaling her intention to build bipartisan support as she works to advance the legislation through Congress.
The Wyoming Republican's new crypto tax proposal closely mirrors the measures she previously attempted to include in a broader legislative package introduced earlier this week.

Crypto Tax Loopholes Closing? A Look Inside 'Bitcoin Senator' Lummis' New Bill

Morgan Stanley analyst Manan Gosalia upgrades Valley Ntl (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLY#NASDAQ">VLY</a>) from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raises the price target from $10 to $11.

Morgan Stanley Upgrades Valley Ntl to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $11

U.S. stocks surged to new record highs on Thursday, with Wall Street celebrating stronger-than-expected labor market data ahead <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46244105/june-jobs-report-nonfarm-payroll-adp-data">of the July 4 holiday.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 was eyeing 6,300, while the Nasdaq 100 climbed to 22,860. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rallied, coming close to 44,900 — just shy of its January peak. Small caps joined the rally, with the Russell 2000 up nearly 1%.
Investor sentiment was boosted by June's nonfarm payrolls report, which showed the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs — well above the 110,000 forecast. The data helped ease concerns stoked by a weak private payroll report just a day earlier.
Tech stocks led the charge, with the so-called Magnificent Seven reaching a combined market cap of $18.1 trillion. NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) solidified its lead as the world's most valuable company, surpassing a $3.9 trillion valuation, ahead of Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) at $3.7 trillion.
Gains were broad-based across sectors, with only consumer staples slipping 0.1%. Technology and financials outperformed.
In bond markets, Treasury yields rose for a second straight session. The 30-year yield hit 4.85% as the U.S. Senate-passed "One Big Beautiful Bill" advanced to the House.
The upbeat jobs report also lifted the U.S. dollar. The DXY index gained 0.4%, with traders scaling back expectations for a rate cut in July — now pricing in just a 7% chance, down from 25% the day before.
Commodities came under pressure as the dollar strengthened. Gold fell 0.5%, oil slipped 1% and copper declined 1.1%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady near $109,700.

While Jim Cramer is staying far away, some contrarian investors are leaning in. Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>), a lesser-known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI infrastructure startup</a> with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) backing and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)-level ambition, is quietly building one of the most intriguing bets in autonomous mobility and decentralized AI. 
And that makes it the perfect "Inverse Cramer" play.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uber's Autonomous Sidekick: Nebius&#8217; Avride</h2>
At the heart of Nebius is its U.S.-based subsidiary, Avride Inc., which began life in 2020 as a spin-off from Yandex's self-driving car unit. Today, Avride is powering real-world robotaxis and delivery bots for Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Uber Eats &#8211; with operations already live in Austin, Dallas, and Jersey City.
Think of it as Tesla's software brain meets Nvidia's compute muscle, but focused on the "infrastructure stack" of autonomous mobility. Avride's self-driving vehicles—retrofitted Hyundai Ioniq 5s—are packed with lidars, radars, and custom compute hardware. The company is also deploying sidewalk-speed delivery robots that cross streets, navigate traffic lights, and are already in action from the U.S. to Seoul.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hyundai Catalyst</h2>
In March 2025, Nebius struck a strategic partnership with Hyundai to develop commercial robotaxis, adding another heavyweight to its corner. Meanwhile, all manufacturing of its delivery robots is happening in Taiwan—giving it supply chain muscle to match its technical stack.
But Nebius isn't just about the vehicles—it's about controlling the AI infrastructure behind them. With Nvidia's blessing and without the baggage of legacy automakers, Nebius is aiming to become the sovereign AI operating system for autonomous mobility, one city and one robot at a time.
And then there&#8217;s the kicker: Jim Cramer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CqSagdY6QI">isn't buying</a> in. The CNBC host recently passed on the stock, which for <a href="https://x.com/DailyInvestin/status/1940430021434433819">some</a> investors is a bullish signal in itself. In a market chasing hype, Nebius is building. Quietly. Globally. Relentlessly.
If you&#8217;re hunting for the next Tesla-style moonshot with Nvidia pedigree &#8211; and like a little Cramer-contrarianism on the side &#8211; Nebius might just be your AI dark horse.

Morgan Stanley Assumes Sana Biotechnology at Overweight, Announces Price Target of $12

Wall Street is basking in record highs as the S&amp;P 500 breaks above 6,300 ahead of the July 4 holiday, but just as traders reach for the champagne, a popular market indicator is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals">starting to flash red.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500&#8217;s RSI Enters Overbought Territory: Why It Matters</h2>
The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements, surged to 75.62 on Wednesday, well into the overbought zone above 70.
The RSI ranges from 0 to 100, and traders use it to gauge whether an asset is overbought or oversold. While it doesn&#8217;t predict direction, history shows it often coincides with key market turning points.
In fact, in several recent cases where the S&amp;P 500's RSI hit similarly overbought levels, the index was soon met with sharp and swift pullbacks.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>July 2024: RSI spiked above 75, and the index dropped 10% from 5,660 to August 6</li>
<li>July 2023: RSI flagged overbought, and the S&amp;P 500 slid 10% through late October</li>
<li>September 2020: RSI hit 83 before a rapid 10% decline that same month. </li>
<li>January 2018: RSI hit climbed to 86 after a 7% rally. The index then plunged 12% in just nine trading days during early February.</li>
</ul>
Still, the RSI is not a crystal ball.
In December 2023, the indicator was also overbought, but the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – kept climbing and added over 15% until April 2024.
Similarly, in December 2019, a reading of 78 did little to slow momentum until COVID-19, a rather unpredictable event, caused the market to crash two months later.
While the RSI's track record shows that overbought conditions can precede sharp pullbacks, it's not a guaranteed signal — especially in a market driven by strong momentum, AI optimism, and resilient economic data. Still, with the S&amp;P 500 at record highs and sentiment running hot, traders may want to keep one eye on the technicals as they celebrate the holiday rally.

The S&P 500 Sank 10% The Last Time This Warning Flashed

Reported GAAP earnings and adjusted non-GAAP earnings for the second quarter of 2025 are expected to include acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense of $823 million on a pre-tax basis, representing an unfavorable impact of $0.42 to both GAAP diluted earnings per share and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 have not been finalized and are subject to our financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that our final results will not differ from these preliminary estimates.

&nbsp;
While acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense may be incurred upon execution of collaborations, licensing agreements, and other asset acquisitions, AbbVie does not forecast acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense due to uncertainty of the future occurrence and timing of these transactions. Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for 2025 previously announced on April&nbsp;25, 2025 excluded the impact of acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense that may be incurred beyond the first quarter of 2025. AbbVie&#39;s full-year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range, including the impact of second quarter 2025 acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense, is $11.67 - $11.87. AbbVie&#39;s second quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range, including the impact of second quarter 2025 acquired IPR&amp;D and milestones expense, is&nbsp;
