<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Recent Filing Shows That Rep. Virginia Foxx Bought Over $2K Worth of Alliance Res Partners Stock

Dividend investing is gaining traction in 2025 as tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainties continue to weigh on market sentiment. Research from <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-sp500-dividend-aristocrats.pdf">S&amp;P Global </a>shows that dividend stocks with a strong history of growth have historically delivered higher returns with lower volatility compared to the S&amp;P 500.
Last month, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1ksb79m/anyone_already_living_the_dream_and_living_off/">asked</a> investors on r/Dividends — a Reddit community with over 730,000 followers — whether anyone was living off dividend income. The question drew an overwhelming response, with many investors sharing their advice and experience.&nbsp;

</ul>
An investor said that he was living off dividends from a diversified portfolio of stocks and funds. He advised Redditors to first pay off all debts and avoid being a "slave" to banks.
&nbsp;"Life is great and we are blessed with dividends!" he wrote. "Invest in quality dividend stocks in all sectors and don&#8217;t waste money on material things you don&#8217;t need but enjoy life!"
The investor, 62, said in a separate comment that he and his wife are retired and their portfolio includes a lot of "qualified" dividend stocks with an average yield of 9%.
"Retired and enjoying dividends without depleting my initial investment. I am diversified across all sectors," he said.

62-Year-Old Living Off Dividends Shares His Top 6 Stock Picks, Says His 'Life Is Great, Blessed With Dividends'

In the current session, the stock is trading at $17.50, after a 0.11% spike. Over the past month, Energy Transfer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) stock increased by 11.10%, and in the past year, by 14.28%. 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748876462_0_1.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Energy Transfer 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 75.97 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Energy Transfer Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 13.24. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748876462_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.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Energy Transfer

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said QXO, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QXO#NYSE">QXO</a>) can go higher. &#8220;Because it's Brad Jacobs [Chairperson of QXO]. He will not let it stay <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QXO/earnings">down here,&#8221; he added.</a>
As per recent news, QXO filed for the resale of 67.5 million shares of common stock by the selling stockholders on May 29.
Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNTX#NASDAQ">GNTX</a>) is a very good company, Cramer said. &#8220;I cannot believe how low it's gotten,&#8221; he added.
Lending support to his choice, the company reported quarterly earnings per share of 42 cents on April 25, in line with the analyst consensus estimate. Revenues of $576.8 million (down 2% year over year) outpaced the street view of $571.97 million.
Cramer said although Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) is an &#8220;absolutely terrific&#8221; company, he prefers ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) more.
On the earnings front, Energy Transfer reported quarterly earnings of 36 cents per share on May 6, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 37 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $21.02 billion, which also missed the analyst consensus estimate of $21.54 billion.
When asked about The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>), he said, &#8220;I should have told people to pull the trigger after that one unfortunate quarter that Jeff Green had.&#8221;
Trade Desk, on May 8, reported quarterly earnings of 33 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 25 cents. Quarterly revenue clocked in at $616.02 million, which beat the consensus estimate of $584.27 million and represents a 25.4% increase over revenue of $491.25 million from the same period last year.

<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 Energy Transfer 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 Energy Transfer'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>, Energy Transfer's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.56%, 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>

How Do Investors Really Feel About Energy Transfer?

In a market where megawatts are the new megatrend, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Amplify ETFs</a>, in partnership with Samsung Asset Management, rolled out a timely new product on Tuesday, the Amplify Samsung U.S. Natural Gas Infrastructure ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USNG#NYSE">USNG</a>). This actively managed fund is designed to tap into America's rapidly evolving natural gas scene, just as the country faces surging energy demands, a digital economy with an insatiable appetite, and a declared National Energy Emergency.
USNG offers exposure to 20–25 U.S.-listed stocks across upstream, midstream, and downstream natural gas operations. It intentionally tilts toward midstream companies, those that handle the essential work of transporting, storing, distributing, and marketing gas. These companies form the industry&#8217;s infrastructure backbone, and in an era of energy insecurity and electrification, they&#8217;re poised to be in high demand.

With projections pointing to a 50% spike in U.S. natural gas demand over the next five years, driven largely by power-hungry data centers and AI infrastructure, USNG launches at a pivotal moment. On the global front, U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are forecast to grow by 19% in 2025 and 15% in 2026, reinforcing the country&#8217;s status as a top LNG exporter and boosting the entire natural gas value chain.
The fund is <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/20/3084696/0/en/Amplify-ETFs-Launches-the-Amplify-Samsung-U-S-Natural-Gas-Infrastructure-ETF-USNG.html">guided </a>by a Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) strategy. Stock selection is informed by a blend of macro trends, sector analysis, and individual company performance. 
Top holdings at launch include Kinder Morgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>), Williams Cos (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>), MPLX LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLX#NYSE">MPLX</a>), and Energy Transfer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>), among others. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.59%.
With natural gas now playing a starring role in the U.S.&#8217;s energy policy playbook, and capital flooding into infrastructure projects, USNG provides a timely and targeted entry point for investors betting on the backbone of America's energy future.

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher amid US-China trade progress, President Trump's Middle East trip and softer-than-expected April inflation figures, which could lift demand sentiment.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>). &#8220;The pipes are a great business here, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ET/earnings">really are,&#8221; he added</a>.
On the earnings front, Energy Transfer reported quarterly earnings of 36 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 37 cents per share on May 6.
Cramer said he is ok with Harrow, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HROW#NASDAQ">HROW</a>).
Lending support to his choice, HC Wainwright &amp; Co. analyst Yi Chen, on Monday, maintained Harrow with a Buy and raised the price target from $57 to $60.
&#8220;I think it can bottom here,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>). &#8220;I think that there's a lot of good stuff that they have, so I would say keep it here.&#8221;
Pfizer, on April 29, posted quarterly earnings of 92 cents per share, beating market estimates of 67 cents per share. The company&#8217;s quarterly sales came in at $13.71 billion, missing expectations of $13.95 billion.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended to own Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNSL#NYSE">KNSL</a>), saying that it is a &#8220;very good&#8221; stock.
Supporting his view, the company, on April 24, posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings.
&#8220;All the insurers are really terrific right now, and they have been good for some time,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Manulife Financial Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFC#NYSE">MFC</a>). &#8220;They're all making fortunes, so I'm not going to go against any one of them.&#8221;
Manulife Financial, on May 7, reported quarterly earnings 69 cents per share on sales of $1.49 billion.
When asked about Iron Mountain (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>), he said, &#8220;No, better places to be.&#8221;
Iron Mountain, on May 1, posted better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter.
Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) has been such a &#8220;poor performer, I can't have you do that,&#8221; Cramer said.
On the earnings front, Devon Energy, on May 6, posted weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings.

<ul class="wp-block-list">

Jim Cramer Is 'OK' With Harrow, Recommends Buying This Energy Stock

In the current session, the stock is trading at $17.25, after a 1.22% spike. Over the past month, Energy Transfer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) stock increased by 5.39%, and in the past year, by 8.79%. 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746828020_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Energy Transfer P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Energy Transfer has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 19.75 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels 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/2025/1746828020_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.
