In the current session, GSK Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) is trading at $38.51, after a 1.13% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 5.54%, and in the past year, by 0.77%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>How Does GSK P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
GSK has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 27.89 of the Pharmaceuticals 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/2025/1751475959_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.

What the Options Market Tells Us About D-Wave Quantum

WIIM

Rocket Lab shares are trading higher after Keybanc maintained an Overweight rating on the stock and raised its price target from $29 to $40.

Design company Figma (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIG#NYSE">FIG</a>) has filed for an IPO and, along with sharing impressive revenue figures and year-over-year growth, the company's investments in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are making headlines.
What Happened: Figma is set to go public on the NYSE under the ticker FIG and will come to the market after a $20 billion buyout from Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38893439/figma-sets-12-5b-valuation-in-new-equity-offering-falling-short-of-adobes-acquisition-offer"> blocked by regulators.</a>
The Figma IPO <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1579878/000162828025033742/figma-sx1.htm">filing</a> was filled with details about the company's financials and also included 21 mentions of the word &#8220;Bitcoin.&#8221;
In the filing, Figma revealed that its Board of Directors approved an investment in Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, and the company currently owns approximately $69.5 million, held in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), as of March 31, 2025.
The company holds the Bitcoin ETF assets at fair value.
What may be even more surprising ahead of the IPO is that Figma is planning to invest further in Bitcoin in the future. 
The company recently purchased $30 million in USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), which will be used as part of Figma's board approving a $30 million investment in Bitcoin.
"The company intends to reinvest its stablecoin holdings into Bitcoin at a later date," the filing reads.
Figma's IPO filing caught the attention of cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
"Holding Bitcoin and using USDC. We should be friends," Coinbase <a href="https://x.com/coinbase/status/1940159396954481149">tweeted</a>.
The filing revealing Figma's bets on Bitcoin comes as an increasing number of public companies are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet, including video game retailer GameStop.
Figma lists volatility related to an investment in Bitcoin ETFs as a risk factor and the wording suggests continued investment in Bitcoin in the future.
"From time to time, we have also invested excess cash reserves in alternative assets, such as the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, and may do so in the future,&#8221; the filing reads. &#8220;The investments in our portfolio are subject to our corporate investment policy, which focuses on the preservation of capital, fulfillment of our liquidity needs, and maximization of investment performance within the parameters set forth in our corporate investment policy and subject to market conditions."

Why It's Important: Those familiar with Figma CEO and co-founder Dylan Field may not be surprised to see his preference for investing in Bitcoin.
Field previously <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2021/03/18/figma-ceo-dylan-field-talks-cryptopunks-nft-beeple-metaverse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sold </a>one of the most expensive non-fungible tokens ever, a rare alien CryptoPunk, for $7.5 million in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Field's NFT <a href="https://opensea.io/0x8e7644918b3e280fb3b599ca381a4efcb7ade201?searchQuery=cryptopunk">portfolio </a>still holds 14 CryptoPunks, including one rare alien.
The Figma IPO reveals the company had revenue of $749.0 million in 2024, up 48% year-over-year. The company reported revenue of $228.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 46% year-over-year increase. Figma shows an 18% non-GAAP operating margin in its filing.
Another highlight in the IPO filing is Figma's customer base, which includes 95% of the Fortune 500 companies and 78% of the Forbes 2000 companies.
Figma's growth and its belief in Bitcoin on the balance sheet could be attractive items to get investors excited about the company's upcoming IPO.

Palantir Technologies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) short percent of float has risen 18.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 53.18 million shares sold short, which is 2.46% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 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 Palantir Technologies 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 Palantir Technologies'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>, Palantir Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.01%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

As you gear up for retirement—or maybe you're one of those people who plan to never retire—there's one question that might quietly linger in the back of your mind: Am I <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45271981/are-you-richer-than-your-peers-heres-the-net-worth-it-takes-at-every-age-to-be-in-the-top-10">doing better than most</a>?
While comparison is the thief of joy or so they say, but it can also be a practical tool—especially when money is still taboo to talk about in everyday life. If you've ever wondered how your finances stack up next to your peers, here's your chance to peek behind the curtain.

The best data we have on American household wealth comes from the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances</a>. Every three years, the central bank gathers detailed information on everything from how much people have in their retirement accounts to how much they owe on their credit cards. It's a goldmine of financial transparency—spanning income, assets, debt, and demographics.
The most recent survey covers data from the end of 2022, and yes, plenty has changed since then. The markets have rallied. Home values have jumped. But until the next release in 2026, this is the most current and comprehensive snapshot of where American households stand.
According to <a href="about:blank">Fool.com's</a> analysis of that data, the top 10% of households aged 50 to 59 had a net worth of at least $2,629,060. The median household in that age bracket? Around $285,000—a massive gap that underscores just how far ahead the wealthiest 10% really are.

It's also worth noting: many of those high-net-worth households still carry debt. In fact, the average household in the top 10% has about $375,000 in debt, largely tied to mortgages. And that's not necessarily a red flag—especially if the mortgage comes with a low fixed rate. Paying it off aggressively can actually limit your liquidity. In most cases, smart investing beats rapid repayment, and having flexible access to cash may matter more than being debt-free.
Of course, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45483329/are-you-rich-or-just-upper-middle-class-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-it-takes-to-be-considered-wealthy">"rich" is relative</a>. For one person, being wealthy might mean having a paid-off house and a modest retirement fund. For another, it might mean leasing luxury cars and flying first class to Europe. Lifestyle choices, spending habits, and risk tolerance all shape what wealth looks like—and how much you need to feel secure.
So if you're already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46130083/can-you-guess-what-an-upper-class-retirees-monthly-income-looks-like-heres-what-the-wealthy-are-actually-living-on">among the richest 10%</a>, that's something to celebrate. And if you're still building? Keep going. Some people take the slow and steady route. Others swing big on investments or side hustles. At the end of the day, it's your life, your money, and your definition of financial success.

Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on Exxon Mobil, Raises Price Target to $131

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday afternoon following a report that CEO Lip-Bu Tan is considering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46212727/intel-ceo-lip-bu-tan-weighs-ending-marketing-of-expensive-chip-manufacturing-as-losses-mount-and-rival-tsmc-surges-ahead-report">strategic pivot</a> away from marketing its costly 18A chipmaking process to external clients, per a Reuters report.
What To Know: The potential move comes as the semiconductor giant grapples with substantial financial losses and intense competition from industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
Per Reuters, sources familiar with the matter indicate Tan is skeptical about the external sales viability of the 18A process, which has incurred billions in development costs but has failed to attract major customers. Halting this foundry effort could lead to a substantial write-off, potentially in the hundreds of millions.
In response, Reuters reported Intel stated it doesn&#8217;t comment on hypotheticals but confirmed its commitment to using the 18A process for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46212727/intel-ceo-lip-bu-tan-weighs-ending-marketing-of-expensive-chip-manufacturing-as-losses-mount-and-rival-tsmc-surges-ahead-report">internal products</a>, such as the upcoming Panther Lake laptop processor. The company will also honor existing agreements with Amazon and Microsoft.
This reevaluation marks a critical juncture for Intel, which posted a staggering $18.8 billion loss in 2024. The discussions, which could begin this month, suggest a strategic shift towards the next-generation 14A process, which Intel believes will offer a more competitive edge against TSMC in the fierce global chip race.
