Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744984829_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Associated Cap Gr P/E in Comparison to 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 28.97 in the Capital Markets industry, Associated Cap Gr Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.26. 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/2025/1744984830_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.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) co-founder Jack Ma once expressed that trade wars, such as the one brewing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">between the U.S. and China,</a> are obscuring deeper issues of resource allocation and wealth concentration, while posing a risk to global stability.
What Happened: In an old interview, Jack Ma acknowledged that in the past 30 years, top U.S. companies like IBM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NASDAQ">IBM</a>), Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) earned a lot of profit which are much more than the four largest banks in China put together, however, after the financial crisis of 2008, the country lost trillions of money and lots of white and blue collar jobs. The Chinese billionaire asks, &#8220;Where (did) the money go?&#8221;
He suggests that the narrative of other countries &#8220;stealing&#8221; American jobs oversimplifies a more complex&nbsp;issue: strategic missteps in resource&nbsp;allocation. Ma feels that wealth has been disproportionately distributed, favoring&nbsp;short-term gains over long-term stability.&nbsp;The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have depleted&nbsp;resources that could have been&nbsp;used to support America&#8217;s industrial base and its people.

The Alibaba co-founder went on to say that the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies, the U.S. and China, could have catastrophic consequences not only for these nations but also for the global economy. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a disaster,&#8221; said the Alibaba co-founder. He believes, &#8220;When trade stops, the war starts.&#8221;
He opined that the potential for collaboration over confrontation, even if it disrupts established business models, could yield long-term benefits of peace and mutual prosperity that would far outweigh the costs.
&#8220;I will (be) happy if China and USA agree on something&#8230;I would destroy Alibaba model by stopping the war,&#8221; stated Ma.
The Chinese tech titan also stated that it is hard to imagine that the first largest economy of the world and the second largest economy have a trade war. &#8220;If we can anybody can do something to stop it do anything to stop,&#8221; Jack Ma stated.

Why It Matters: The escalating trade tensions are not only threatening global stability but also posing serious liquidity risks for investors holding U.S.-listed Chinese stocks like Alibaba Group and JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>). According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44868280/us-listed-chinese-stocks-face-250-billion-forced-selling-risk-as-delisting-fears-emerge-what-investors-need-to-know">note</a>&nbsp;shared by Goldman Sachs analyst Kinger Lau, the fears of delisting for Chinese American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are rising, driven by escalating trade tensions and new policy guidance from U.S. officials.
Moreover, amid these tensions, Alibaba Group is betting big on AI with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44745275/alibaba-bets-big-on-ai-with-new-cloud-tools-as-jack-ma-reemerges-in-company-comeback">new cloud tools</a>. The company&#8217;s co-founder, Jack Ma, reemerged to celebrate its 15th anniversary and showcased its Blossom project, which aims to accelerate AI adoption.

Jack Ma Was Once Ready To 'Destroy' Alibaba To End US-China Trade War: 'I Would Be Happy If China And USA Agree On Something'

Some people make so much money that they start to question if this is all life has to offer. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recently spoke with one of these people on "The Ramsey Show."
He welcomed a 26-year-old caller to the show who has a $5 million net worth. Naturally, Ramsey was impressed with how successful the 26-year-old had become. However, the call didn't have much to do with money. Instead, the caller asked Ramsey for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJDYx-kXkw">the meaning of life</a>, and Ramsey confirmed an important truth for the caller.
"Just stacking cash doesn't have meaning."
Ramsey proceeded to give the caller advice on living a more fulfilling life.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Giving Vs. Getting</h2>
Ramsey took the spiritual route and discussed his faith during this call. He touched upon how being of service leads to a more fulfilling life. Whether it's being a part of your local church, volunteering at a local non-profit, or mentoring someone, giving can go a long way.
"True joy comes from serving, not through getting," Ramsey said during the episode.
Approaching life from that perspective can give you a greater sense of purpose. While work is a part of living a fulfilled life, only focusing on money will leave you lacking in key areas like spirituality and social relationships.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Out Of The House</h2>
The caller mentioned that he still lives with his mom despite having $5.5 million saved up. Ramsey immediately recommended that the caller get an apartment and embrace a healthier diet. Health entered the conversation because the caller mentioned that he only eats McDonald's and Chipotle all day.&nbsp;
Not everyone should move out of their parent's house. It's not a financially feasible move for everyone, but Ramsey views the move as part of becoming an adult. The caller's girlfriend seems to have the same stance. She's known him since middle school, and she jokes about why she's still dating him despite him living in his mother's basement. Ramsey and the caller had a good laugh when that was mentioned.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Money Game Is Not Solved Yet</h2>
Although the caller is off to a tremendous start, Ramsey cautioned the caller about assuming that the money game is solved. Ramsey proceeded to mention that he had $4 million worth of real estate at 26 and went bankrupt at 30.
Fortunes can change quickly, so it's still important to be prudent about money. The caller seems to be in a good position, but Ramsey wanted to mention that detail.
However, it's also good to spend money from time to time when you have built a strong financial foundation and want to enhance the quality of your life. Ramsey mentioned enjoying better meals with his girlfriend and setting his sights on a house. The caller mentioned wanting to buy a dream house, and Ramsey said that's a good goal.&nbsp;
The 26-year-old caller has done well for himself. Following Ramsey's advice can help him find more fulfillment in his life that stretches beyond finances.

A 26-Year-Old Worth $5 Million Asks Dave Ramsey For The Meaning Of Life: 'Just Stacking Cash Doesn't Have Meaning'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has cautioned about a possible stock market collapse if President Donald Trump decides to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
What Happened: Warren&#8217;s remarks were a reaction to Trump&#8217;s earlier social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114352766082542122">post</a>, in which he expressed his impatience for Powell&#8217;s &#8220;termination.&#8221;
&#8220;Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell's termination cannot come fast enough!&#8221; Trump wrote in his post. 
During her speech&nbsp;at the New York Stock&nbsp;Exchange, Warren voiced her apprehensions about the potential repercussions on the US markets if Powell were to be dismissed. 
&#8220;I have tangled with him on a regular basis about both regulations and interest rates. But understand this: If Chairman Powell can be fired by the president of the United States, it will crash markets in the United States,&#8221; Warren said of Powell at the New York Stock Exchange.

Warren also underscored the importance of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence for the stability of the US and global economy. She expressed her doubts about the legality of Trump&#8217;s potential action to remove Powell.
&#8220;If interest rates in the United States are subject to a president who just wants to wave his magic wand, this doesn&#8217;t distinguish us from any other two-bit dictatorship around the world,&#8221; she added and as quoted <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elizabeth-warren-stock-market-crash-warning-if-trump-fires-powell-2025-4">by </a>Insider. 
Trump&#8217;s disapproval of Powell, especially regarding interest-rate cuts, has been a persistent issue. However, Powell has consistently maintained that he cannot be legally dismissed by the president.
The Supreme Court is set&nbsp;to deliver a verdict later this year on the legality of Trump&#8217;s recent dismissals of&nbsp;board members of independent agencies.
Why It Matters: The potential dismissal of Powell by Trump could lead to significant instability in the US and global markets. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence is a critical factor in maintaining economic stability, and any threat to this independence could have far-reaching implications. 
The upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Trump&#8217;s recent dismissals of board members of independent agencies could set a precedent for the future of the Federal Reserve and its leadership.

Warren Foresees Market Turmoil if Trump Dismisses Fed's Powell: If Powell Can Be Fired by Trump, 'It Will Crash Markets'

China's recent move to pause Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft purchases may end up hurting its own jet maker, Comac, which depends heavily on U.S. technology and has only a small number of planes currently in service
What Happened: The Chinese government&#8217;s move to stop buying Boeing aircraft could potentially harm Comac, a Shanghai-based aircraft manufacturer that is still striving to become globally competitive, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/how-chinas-boeing-ban-threatens-to-backfire-on-its-own-plane-maker-6c9e6cc1?mod=hp_lead_pos11">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, coupled with high tariffs, could have significant implications for the aviation sector of both economies.
Chinese airlines have been instructed to withhold new orders for Boeing aircraft and seek approval before accepting delivery of plane orders.
However, Comac&#8217;s slow production rate means it is not in a position to quickly fill these orders. This situation could inadvertently benefit Airbus, another major player in the aviation industry.

By involving aircraft in the trade war with the U.S., China is unintentionally exposing a vulnerability, emphasizing the U.S.&#8217;s influence over Comac.
The company&#8217;s leading commercial aircraft model, the C919, is airworthy due to critical technology from U.S. companies including GE Aerospace, Honeywell International, and RTX.
Despite China&#8217;s efforts to promote the C919 as a competitor&nbsp;to the Boeing 737 MAX&nbsp;and Airbus A320neo, only about 16 C919s are currently flying commercially, all of which are operating domestically in China.
Why It Matters: The ongoing tariff dispute between the U.S. and China has seen the Trump administration raise tariffs on Chinese <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">imports by up to 245%</a>.
This has led to China&#8217;s ban on deliveries from Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), drawing the attention of President Donald Trump towards the company&#8217;s significant role in <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">China's retaliation strategy</a>, as highlighted by Bank of America (BofA).
On his part, President Trump has called upon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832771/the-ball-is-in-chinas-court-trump-says-as-white-house-awaits-beijings-call-china-needs-to-make-a-deal-with-us">China to initiate negotiations</a>.
