President Jimmy Carter's solemn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers-shakers/24/12/42716329/jimmy-carter-the-39th-us-president-who-championed-human-rights-and-peace-in-the-middle-east-had-died">state funeral</a> in Washington, D.C.&#8217;s National Cathedral Thursday brought together five living U.S. presidents, including President-elect Donald Trump, who was seated next to Barack Obama, with whom he seemed to be having a lively conversation. &nbsp;
Carter was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jimmy-carter">president from 1977 to 1981.</a>
The first eulogy was given by one of Carter's grandsons, Joshua Carter, who said his grandfather spent his life helping people and seeking peace and justice around the world. He was followed by eulogies written by former President Gerald Ford and Walter Mondale, Carter&#8217;s vice president, before their deaths and read by the sons.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;The First Millennialist&#8221;</h1>
Jason Carter called his grandfather the first millennialist who wanted to legalize cannabis, encouraged craft beer production, protected the environment, supported women's rights and "tried to bring peace to the Holyland."
He drew laughs when he told an endearing story about how his grandfather, a nuclear engineer, first began using a cell phone and called him: &#8220;I answered and said &#8216;Hey paw paw.&#8217; He said &#8216;Who&#8217;s this.&#8217; I said this is Jason, you called me.&#8221; 
Carter replied, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t call you, I&#8217;m taking a picture.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">President Joe Biden</h2>
In his eulogy, President Joe Biden summed up Carter's character in three words "Character, character, character." He called Carter a white Southerner who championed civil rights and established a model post-presidency.
"He showed us how character and faith start with ourselves and then flows to others. At our best, we share the better parts of ourselves — joy, solidarity, love, commitment — not for reward, but in reverence of the incredible gift of life we've all been granted, to make every minute of our time here on Earth count," Biden said. 
&#8220;We have an obligation to give hate no safe harbor and we have to stand up to what my dad used to say was the greatest sin of all — the abuse of power." At this point the cameras turned to the section of the audience where Trump was seated.
As the presidents made their way to the exit of the Cathedral, Trump, Obama and Bush went one way and Clinton another, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/us/jimmy-carter-funeral">noted</a> the NY Times. Doug Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris's husband shook Trump&#8217;s hand, which Bush did not, <a href="https://www.newsbreak.com/raw-story-2096750/3752745200176-watch-george-w-bush-declines-to-shake-donald-trump-s-hand-at-jimmy-carter-s-funeral">noted</a> CBS anchor Norah O&#8217;Donnell.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Final Resting Place</h1>
Following the service, Carter was taken to the Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington, D.C., to be flown on one of Air Force One jets to Georgia where there will be a final private service Thursday afternoon at Carter&#8217;s local church. Carter will be buried next to his wife, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/23/11/35865944/former-first-lady-and-mental-health-champion-rosalynn-carter-dies-at-96">Rosalynn Carter</a>, outside the home they built in 1961 and where they lived most of their lives.
&#8220;Yes, they spent four years in the governor's mansion and four years at the White House but the other 92 years they spent at home in Plains, Georgia, which first of all looks like they built themselves," said grandson Jason Carter.
"Second of all, my grandfather was likely to show up at the door in some &#8217;70s short shorts and crocs. Demonstrating their depression, era roots, they had a little rack next to the sink where they would hang Ziploc bags to dry."

The company recently reported that it has 5.18 million shares sold short, which is 2.73% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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/">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.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

Eighteen years ago, on Jan. 9, 2007, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs walked onto the stage at the Macworld Conference and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30336631/the-iphone-was-unveiled-16-years-ago-heres-how-much-1-000-invested-in-apple-stock-after-the-debut-is">changed the world</a>.
What Happened: Steve Jobs began his presentation by building suspense. He teased the audience by saying, &#8220;Today, we are introducing three revolutionary products.&#8221;
He described them as &#8220;a widescreen iPod with touch controls,&#8221; &#8220;a revolutionary mobile phone,&#8221; and a &#8220;breakthrough internet communications device.&#8221;

Then, in dramatic fashion, he revealed that these weren't three separate devices but one — the iPhone. &#8220;Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone,&#8221; he said.
The original iPhone featured a 3.5-inch display, a 2-megapixel camera, and a multi-touch interface—which was a novel feature at the time. Jobs demonstrated how the iPhone eliminated the need for physical buttons and a stylus, showing off its intuitive design.

How Much Would a $1,000 Investment in Apple Be Worth Today?
If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock on Jan. 10, 2007—the day after the iPhone was first announced—your investment would have grown astronomically.
On Jan. 10, 2007, Apple stock was priced at $3.38, adjusted for splits, bonus issues, and other corporate actions. A $1,000 investment would have bought approximately 295.86 shares.
With Apple's current stock price at $242.70, the original investment is now worth: $71,804.
This reflects a total return of 7,080% over 18 years.
The iPhone Effect
The iPhone made its official debut in the U.S. on June 29, 2007. It has not only transformed Apple's fortunes but also changed how we live.
Today, Apple is the most valuable company in the world, with a market cap of $3.668 trillion. iPhones are a key contributor to Apple&#8217;s financial success, accounting for roughly half of the company&#8217;s overall revenue.
In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth quarter</a>, Apple surpassed expectations with $94.9 billion in revenue. iPhone sales reached $46.22 billion, an increase from $43.8 billion in the same period last year.

Quantum computing stocks like Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) and IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) were clobbered Wednesday following comments from NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang suggesting the technology is decades away<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42867168/nvidias-jensen-huang-said-something-that-has-all-quantum-computing-stocks-tumbling-qubt-and-rgti-down-13-ionq-down-11"> from practical use.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Huang commented on the future of quantum computing at an investor event on Tuesday sending quantum stocks plunging in after-hours trading.&nbsp;
&#8220;If you kind of said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that would probably be on the early side. If you said 30, it&#8217;s probably on the late side,&#8221; Huang said. &#8220;If you picked 20, I think a whole bunch of us would believe it.&#8221;

Following Huang's comments, quantum stocks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42890014/jim-cramer-warns-on-quantum-stories-as-stocks-plunge-we-need-you-out-before-the-froth-goes-away"> plummeted </a>further on Wednesday with Rigetti Computing stock closing down 43.8%, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) down 36% and IonQ shares ending the session down by 39%.&nbsp;
Expert Ideas: Some experts have suggested that Huang may have had ulterior motives behind his comments on quantum computing's long-term outlook.&nbsp;
&#8220;Any dollar chasing quantum computing stocks is not chasing AI stocks,&#8221; said Thomas Hayes, chairman of Great Hill Capital, per Reuters.&nbsp;
&#8220;Jensen threw a wet blanket on the quantum story and did everything he could to sell the AI story. It&#8217;s that simple,&#8221; Hayes added.&nbsp;
Another analyst echoed similar sentiments on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42879725/nvidia-ceo-sends-quantum-stocks-lower-poll-finds-over-50-pick-rigetti-or-skip-for-2025">quantum computing</a> as a potential threat to Nvidia's dominance:&nbsp;Quantum computing &#8220;will be disruptive to parts of the classical compute business, of which Nvidia is a chief beneficiary,&#8221; Craig-Hallum analyst Richard Shannon said, per Reuters.&nbsp;
CEO Fires Back: D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42892470/jensen-huang-is-dead-wrong-about-quantum-computing-d-wave-ceo-fires-back-at-nvidia-boss-happy-to-meet-with-jensen-any-time-any-place-to-help-fill-in-these-gaps"> also criticized </a>Huang for his comments on the timeline for achieving practical quantum computing, saying the Nvidia CEO is "dead wrong." Baratz said D-Wave's quantum computers are already in commercial use by major companies including Mastercard.&nbsp;
&#8220;Not 30 years from now, not 20 years from now, not 15 years from now,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;But right now today.&#8221;
Poised To Recover: Quantum stocks look poised to open higher Friday (after Thursday&#8217;s national day of mourning for President Jimmy Carter and the U.S. markets are closed) after recovering slightly in Wednesday's after-hours session. D-Wave Quantum rose 6.89%, Rigetti Computing gained 2.89% and IonQ gained 5.92% after Wednesday's closing bell.

The <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/us-dollar-drops-on-report-of-trump?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">US dollar has had a volatile start </a>to the week, sparked by a report that President-elect Donald Trump's tariff plan may shift. 
The US dollar index fell 0.8% to 108.1 on Monday, then pared losses after Trump denied a Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/06/trump-tariff-economy-trade/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">report</a>. The newspaper <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/06/trump-tariff-economy-trade/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>that Trump may scale back his plans for widespread tariffs when he returns to the White House on January 20.

US Dollar Index, Monday, January 6 Session, Source: <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/currency">Trading Economics</a>
Citing people familiar with the matter, the newspaper reported that Trump's aides are exploring tariff plans that would be applied to every country but only cover critical imports. This would mark a significant shift from his presidential campaign plans.
Trump, though, denied the newspaper's reporting on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump#:~:text=The%20story%20in%20the%20Washington%20Post%2C%20quoting%20so%2Dcalled%20anonymous%20sources%2C%20which%20don%27t%20exist%2C%20incorrectly%20states%20that%20my%20tariff%20policy%20will%20be%20pared%20back.%20That%20is%20wrong.%20The%20Washington%20Post%20knows%20it%27s%20wrong.%20It%27s%20just%20another%20example%20of%20Fake%20News" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Truth Social</a>. 
"The story in the Washington Post, quoting so-called anonymous sources, which don&#8217;t exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back," he wrote on his social media platform. "The Washington Post knows it&#8217;s wrong. It&#8217;s just another example of Fake News."&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Dollar Reacts to Trump Tariff Plans</h2>
The reporting fueled uncertainty about one of Trump's key policy proposals. In response, the dollar declined sharply against most major currencies.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index (BBDXY), which measures the value of the US dollar relative to other major global currencies, ended the session 0.6% lower on Monday. After the publication of the Washington Post article, the index lost 1%, marking the largest <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-06/dollar-falls-most-in-two-months-on-report-trump-to-limit-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">intraday drop since 2023</a>.

The initial loss in the dollar was "an outsized reaction to an unverified report, but it does show the direction of travel,"Kathleen Brooks, the director of research at XTB, told Bloomberg. "We've had a large buildup of dollar longs and they are at risk of a turnaround."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Tariff Plans Go Back to 2024</h2>
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump vowed to<a href="https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economics/2024/no-trade-tax-free-trumps-promised-tariffs-will-hit-large-flows" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> impose 10-20% tariffs</a> on all imported goods, with tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese products. After his election win in November, he threatened to impose additional tariffs of 10% on Chinese goods and 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada.
With Trump's aim to raise US revenues, he will likely go ahead with some of his tariff plans. He may threaten to use them until he gains the upper hand in trade negotiations.
"Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back," Trump said. "It will all be made up with tariffs, and much more, from countries that have taken advantage of the US."&nbsp;&nbsp;
A Bloomberg Economics <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-06/trump-keeps-keeps-his-negotiating-powder-dry-with-tariff-turmoil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">study</a> suggests that higher tariffs could lead to increased inflation and a decline in US GDP. By 2028, US GDP could shrink by 0.8% if only China retaliates. If other countries impose tariffs, US economic growth could slow to 1.3%. 
Trump&#8217;s tariff could hurt global economic growth and drive up consumer prices, particularly if other governments retaliate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Tariff Plans Target Critical Sectors</h2>
The dollar had strengthened amid expectations that Trump will impose tariffs on the US&#8217;s major trading partners. This <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/dovish-ecb-drives-7-eurusd-drop-in?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">put pressure</a> on other currencies. 
However, the dollar could weaken from a tariff program focused solely on sectors deemed critical to national or economic security. This would have a lesser effect on the global economy and US inflation than a broader tariff approach.
According to The Washington Post, it remains unclear which imports or industries might be targeted by tariffs. However, preliminary discussions have centered on sectors considered vital to national or economic security.&nbsp;
These could include the defense industrial supply chain, critical medical supplies, and energy production.

The uncertainty of Trump tariffs and whether his administration will target Europe's auto sector led to a near 3% surge in the Euro Stoxx Automobiles &amp; Parts <a href="https://stoxx.com/index/sxagt/">index</a>. Europe&#8217;s <a href="https://stoxx.com/index/sxxp/">STOXX 600</a> closed 0.9% higher alongside France&#8217;s <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/px1?countrycode=fr">CAC 40</a>, up 2.2%, and Germany&#8217;s <a href="https://stoxx.com/index/dax/">DAX</a> up 1.5%.
Some of Europe's major luxury brands also gained from the optimism of more selective tariffs. LVMH (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), Hermes (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HESAY#OTC">HESAY</a>), and Kering (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPRUY#OTC">PPRUY</a>) all rose over 2%.
European markets overall closed higher on January 6, driven by investor optimism that US tariffs might be less severe than initially feared. However, speculation surrounding the incoming administration&#8217;s agenda will likely be accompanied by heightened market volatility.

US Dollar Drops on Report of Trump Tariff Plan Shift

The intersection of celebrity and policy debates took center stage this week when bestselling author Stephen King criticized billionaire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/42805245/elon-musk-nearly-sold-struggling-tesla-to-google-for-6-billion-but-when-he-no-longer-needed-a-savior-the-deal-was-called-off">Elon Musk</a> over his stance on H-1B visas. In a post on Bluesky, King aimed Musk's apparent preference for highly skilled immigrants, writing: "Musk thinks it's OK for smart immigrants to hang around. The rest of you guys who wash dishes, drive trucks, cook meals … just get lost."

</ul>
King's comment reflects broader concerns about how immigration policies prioritize certain workers while leaving others behind, particularly those surrounding the H-1B visa program. The program, established under the Immigration Act of 1990, allows U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers for specialized technology, engineering and science roles. While proponents argue it fills critical labor gaps, critics claim it displaces American workers and drives down wages in key industries.
Musk, a vocal advocate for the program and a beneficiary of it during his early years in the United States, has defended H-1B visas with fervor. In late December, Musk posted on X: "The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and F&#x2A;&#x2A; YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend."

According to Newsweek, Musk's support for the visa program aligns with his business interests, as Tesla hired over 700 H-1B workers in 2023 alone. Yet his stance has sparked a backlash among Trump-aligned conservatives, who view the program as inconsistent with "America First" policies.
Conservative activist Laura Loomer, for example, criticized Musk and Trump for their support of H-1B visas, accusing them of prioritizing Silicon Valley interests over American workers.&nbsp;
In December, Trump maintained a favorable view of the program, telling the New York Post: "I've always liked the visas. I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them. I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program."
King's criticism adds a cultural dimension to what has largely been an economic and political debate. Known for his outspoken views on social media, King often uses his platform to comment on political and social issues, from gun control to presidential elections. This isn't the first time the author has clashed with Musk online – King has previously mocked and disagreed with Musk on X, fueling an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41709658/stephen-king-slams-elon-musk-claims-most-of-his-posts-spread-pro-trump-disinformation-and-outright-l">ongoing public feud between the two</a>.

The H-1B visa program remains a polarizing topic. Critics, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, argue it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42494409/bernie-sanders-proposes-taxing-income-over-1-billion-at-100-and-urges-its-time-to-make-greedy-billionaires-pay-their-fair-share">benefits billionaires</a> and corporations at the expense of American workers.&nbsp;
Others, like Jeanne Batalova of the Migration Policy Institute, see the program as essential for addressing labor shortages in specialized industries. Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Batalova noted, "This program should not and was not intended to substitute American talent. It was designed to supplement it and, by and large, it has been working."&nbsp;
Musk is both a symbol of the program's potential success and a lightning rod for criticism. Meanwhile, King's sharp critique highlights the social implications of immigration policies that prioritize certain workers over others.
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42488326/grant-cardone-offer-citizenship-to-1-million-immigrants-who-deposit-5-million-each-5-trillion-in-new-investment-dollars-for-america">debates over immigration</a> reform continue, the tension between economic pragmatism and cultural values remains unresolved. King's comments may not sway policymakers, but they have amplified a conversation that extends beyond the tech industry and into the heart of America's identity as a nation of immigrants.

Stephen King Slams Elon Musk's H-1B Visa Stance: 'Musk Thinks Smart Immigrants Can Stay – The Rest of You Washing Dishes … Get Lost'

Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) slipped 0.6% in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session following a volatile trading day. The decline came as new employment data pointed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42873182/us-private-businesses-add-122000-jobs-in-december-the-labor-market-downshifted-to-a-more-modest-pace-of-growth">cooling U.S. labor market</a>, sparking concerns about a potential drop in retail trading activity and waning investor engagement on the platform.
What To Know: The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 122,000 jobs in December, missing expectations and highlighting a slowdown in key sectors like manufacturing and trade.
Robinhood's business model relies heavily on retail trading volumes, which are sensitive to economic conditions affecting individual investors. 
A weakening labor market, coupled with slowing wage growth, reduces disposable income and dampens investor confidence — key drivers of trading activity on the platform. This can lead to lower revenue from payment for order flow, which represents a substantial portion of Robinhood's income.

Additionally, decelerating wage gains could limit the influx of new retail investors, particularly younger users who form a significant portion of Robinhood's customer base. With fewer opportunities for speculative trading and reduced enthusiasm for high-risk assets, the platform may face declining engagement.
The broader economic uncertainty, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42884213/dollar-hits-14-month-high-30-year-yields-near-critical-threshold-as-trump-reportedly-mulls-economic">elevated Treasury yields</a> and Federal Reserve tightening, compounds these risks, potentially eroding Robinhood's revenue streams tied to options and cryptocurrency trading, two of its most lucrative segments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy Robinhood Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Robinhood Markets&#8217; case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Robinhood has a 52-week high of $43.83 and a 52-week low of $10.38.

Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>) has seen its stock drop 21% to $25.73 over the past month, driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42599094/hims-hers-health-are-falling-today-whats-going-on">regulatory updates</a> from the FDA regarding tirzepatide injection shortages. However, the stock remains up over 200% over the past year, reflecting strong earnings performance.
What To Know: The company reported impressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41728465/hims-hers-health-reports-better-than-expected-q3-results-details">third-quarter results</a> in November, with earnings of 32 cents per share, far exceeding analyst expectations of 4 cents. Revenue rose 77% year-over-year to $401.6 million, beating estimates of $382.2 million.
Subscriber growth surged 44%, reaching 2 million, and net income soared to $75.6 million, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million last year. However, gross margins narrowed slightly to 79%, down from 83% a year ago.
CEO Andrew Dudum highlighted the company's continued momentum, noting its focus on delivering accessible, personalized care. Hims &amp; Hers raised its fiscal 2024 revenue outlook to $1.46-$1.465 billion, indicating confidence in sustained growth.
Investor sentiment has otherwise been tempered over the past month by the FDA&#8217;s resolution of the tirzepatide shortage, which may pressure demand for compounded alternatives. Despite this, ongoing shortages of other GLP-1 drugs and strong fundamentals could position Hims &amp; Hers for potential long-term success.

Looking into the current session, CECO Environmental Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CECO#NASDAQ">CECO</a>) shares are trading at $31.77, after a 1.21% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 2.90%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 66.60%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great 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/2025/1736446510_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing CECO Environmental P/E Against 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. 
CECO Environmental has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 101.05 of the Commercial Services &amp; Supplies 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/2025/1736446510_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.

Bitcoin: Crowd sentiment remains neutral following a Fed-induced price retrace on Dec. 20. Traders are waiting for a significant price move before committing to strong positions.
Ethereum: Momentum cooled after briefly reclaiming $4,000. Traders are cautious of a dip below $3,000, which could trigger panic selling and create buying opportunities.
XRP Ledger: XRP has outperformed peers with an 18% rally in early January, retaining bullish sentiment following its November-December surge.
Binance Coin: After a strong rally in November, BNB sentiment turned uncertain, particularly as it dropped below $700. Social media activity remains subdued unless significant price movements occur.
Solana: Despite a 25% decline over six weeks, Solana's community remains optimistic. Analysts suggest waiting for sentiment to fade further for better buying opportunities.
Dogecoin: Dogecoin has dropped 28% since its recent peak, experiencing minimal hype. Contrarian traders may see upside if broader markets turn bullish.
Statistics: Santiment noted that many wallets active in the last 30 days—including those holding BTC, ETH, Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), DOGE,and other altcoins—are operating at a loss. 
This suggests potential buying opportunities, as "blood in the streets" moments have historically led to profitable recoveries for seasoned traders.
While these signals point to a short- to mid-term recovery, they do not guarantee an immediate rebound.

Why It Matters: Diverging sentiment across major crypto assets underscores the importance of crowd psychology in market trends. 
Extreme bearish sentiment often marks entry points for contrarian traders, while excessive euphoria signals caution. 
Understanding these dynamics can help traders navigate volatile markets more effectively.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.
