<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744405218_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Mueller Water Products P/E Compared to Competitors</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 27.83 in the Machinery industry, Mueller Water Products Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 27.69. 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.

The Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs have introduced new challenges, from rising consumer prices to market volatility, and households may have to adapt their financial approaches. Prioritizing emergency preparedness, resisting reactive investment decisions and adopting disciplined spending habits are key to navigating the turbulent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44774595/stocks-notch-best-week-in-years-as-dip-buying-on-tariff-crisis-gathers-momentum">waters with resilience.&nbsp;</a>
This guide outlines five actionable strategies—from bolstering savings to strategic purchasing—to help maintain financial stability and protect your long-term goals.&nbsp;
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44762211/10-companies-with-exposure-to-trumps-china-tariff-war-ford-tesla-apple-disney-and-more"> 10 Companies With Exposure To Trump&#8217;s China Tariff War: Ford, Tesla, Apple, Disney And More&nbsp;</a>
1. Build a 12-Month Emergency Fund: A strong safety net can shield you from sudden income disruptions, market volatility and potential layoffs triggered by tariff uncertainty. Prioritize expanding your emergency savings to cover 12 months of expenses. 
Personal finance expert Ramit Sethi emphasized this approach <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-do-with-money-savings-trump-tariff-market-chaos-2025-4">with</a> Business Insider and noted it's only the second time he has recommended such a large buffer (the first was during COVID-19). 
2. Avoid Panic Selling Investments: Resist the urge to check investment accounts frequently or make impulsive decisions. Sethi compared trying to time the market during turmoil to "walking into a casino after 2 a.m."—likely to lead to costly mistakes. Maintain a long-term perspective and treat investments like "a Thanksgiving turkey in the oven" that requires decades to mature.
3. Proceed Strategically with Major Purchases: If you have planned large expenses like a car, act now while manufacturers offer incentives. Experts advise moving forward if you have stable income and savings because companies like Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Nissan are offering discounts to offset tariff-related price hikes.
4. Cut Non-Essential Spending: Now is the time to reduce discretionary or nonessential expenses with tariffs likely to raise prices for groceries, clothing and electronics.  Focus on needs over wants, especially if job security is uncertain. Also, avoid locking cash in stockpiled goods; instead, preserve liquidity for essentials like rent or utilities. 
5. Limit Exposure to Market Volatility: Avoid obsessively tracking retirement portfolios. While market dips can feel alarming, experts stress that short-term fluctuations shouldn't derail long-term strategies. Let investments recover naturally, and withdraw only what's necessary to avoid locking in losses.
Navigating the financial turbulence of Trump's tariffs requires a blend of foresight, discipline and adaptability. Economic policies may shift unpredictably, but a proactive approach can turn challenges into opportunities for wealth.

When stock market volatility erupts — as it has during global trade tensions, changing Fed policy, and fresh inflationary pressures — the bond market is meant to act as a financial lifeboat. And <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds">recently, it ha</a>s. 
The biggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Treasury bond ETFs</a>, such as the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), retained their footing and moved higher, reminding investors why bonds remain a cornerstone of portfolio stability.

But it&#8217;s not only old-school buy-and-hold passive strategies that are in favor. Investors increasingly gravitate toward actively managed bond ETFs, wagering that clever managers can ride the rate rollercoaster more effectively than a fixed index.
While active stock pickers again struggled, active bond managers quietly won, writes a <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/spiva/spiva-us-year-end-2024.pdf">report </a>by S&amp;P Global&#8217;s SPIVA Scorecard. It discovered that most active bond funds beat their indexed counterparts in 11 of 16 fixed-income categories last year — a striking reversal of the long-standing narrative that active management doesn&#8217;t pay.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Treasury ETFs Take Center Stage</h2>
During the latest round of market upheaval, Treasury bond ETFs attracted billions of dollars in flows as investors flocked to find shelter from the tempest. According to Morningstar:
<ul>
<li>The Bronze-rated iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEF#NASDAQ">IEF</a>) attracted $2.6 billion between April 3 and April 7</li>
<li>The shorter-duration SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Treasury ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPTI#NYSE">SPTI</a>) attracted $1.6 billion. </li>
</ul>
Investors preferred low credit-risk vehicles but were still on the fence about the amount of interest rate risk they were willing to endure.
The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) and the iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) were also in hot demand. Unlike past bear markets, however, these passive giants were matched by flows into actively managed &#8220;enhanced core&#8221; bond funds — strategies that try to beat the likes of AGG, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/bonds-are-back-in-market-crash-what-investors-are-buying-changed.html">according </a>to CNBC. Active enhanced core funds attracted five times more money than their passive counterparts in the core bond space this year, ETFaction says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Emergence Of Ultrashort ETFs</h2>
Ultrashort bond ETFs were also front and center, serving as cash substitutes during the mayhem. 
According to Morningstar, the SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIL#NYSE">BIL</a>) received $3.5 billion in inflows from April 3 to 7. The iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGOV#NYSE">SGOV</a>) took in another $1.1 billion. 
With modest yields and little risk, these funds are now the parking lots of choice for investors who want to hold capital without locking it up for a longer duration.
Still, not all parts of the ultrashort segment thrived. Riskier plays like the Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAAA#NYSE">JAAA</a>) — which had tripled in size in just 12 months — saw a reversal of fortune, bleeding over $1 billion recently as investors moved away from higher credit risk, per Morningstar report.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next?</h2>
The Federal Reserve continues to fight inflation, while policy confusion hurts the economic outlook. Yet, bond market forces are in transition. Rather than simply going into hiding — they&#8217;re getting more subtle in their approach. Passive ETFs remain in the picture, but the increasing demand for actively managed Treasury and core bond funds represents a new fixed-income era.
As Treasury ETFs provide a sound hedge and active bond managers are justifying their role, the new bond market playbook may not be so passive after all.

From Boring To Booming: How Treasury ETFs Are Beating The Bear

President Donald Trump's tariff plan has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44642131/volatility-gauge-vix-surges-to-an-8-month-high-more-fear-more-opportunity-says-analyst">sparked market volatility</a>, prompting concerns about the U.S. economy in 2025, with a personal finance expert advising consumer caution.
Expert Michelle Singletary: Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/jose-diaz-balart/watch/-be-cool-trump-downplays-americans-fears-over-chaos-of-sweeping-tariffs-236927045926">appeared</a> on MSNBC on Wednesday to discuss the preventative measures Americans can take amid a period of economic uncertainty. Singletary says people should be proactive in anticipating potential future hardships.
&#8220;If you can cut, cut. Cut to the bone until you see the white meat,&#8221; Singletary said. &#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing — we don&#8217;t know where this economy&#8217;s going. Lots of economists are saying we&#8217;re more likely to have a recession, so&#8230; now&#8217;s the time to heed the message that bad times may be coming, you may lose your job.&#8221;
The Johns Hopkins alum said that Americans should preemptively cancel vacation plans and think carefully about expenditures in the coming months.
Even though financial markets have experienced a downturn, Singletary says retirees should generally keep funds in their 401k&#8217;s without panic-pulling.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t need you to act on that fear,&#8221; Singletary said. &#8220;Even in retirement, your money still needs some growth. You might have to pull out some money, but perhaps you might pull out less than you planned, and hopefully, you have savings you can live off of until we see where things end up.&#8221;
The personal finance columnist said Americans a decade or two away from retirement should not even look at their 401k and &#8220;try to breathe.&#8221; She noted that historically, markets recover in the long run.

Wall Street ended the week on a strong note, with major indices posting their best weekly performance in years, as traders appeared confident that the escalation in the U.S.-China trade war — which led to triple-digit tariff increases on both sides — would be resolved in the near term.
Not even a shocking University of Michigan survey on consumer sentiment — revealing the most pronounced stagflation concerns in decades — nor fears of stress in the Treasury market were enough to curb the surge in dip-buying activity that emerged in the final <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">day of the week.</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Rallies, Treasury Stress Fades</h1>
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), closed at 5,363, up 1.8% on the day and 5.7% for the week, marking its best weekly performance since October 2023.
From its lows earlier in the week, the index jumped 11% and now sits just four percentage points below the level it held prior to President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2.
The Nasdaq 100 index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), also rose 1.8% on Friday, bringing weekly gains to 7.5% — its strongest performance since November 2022.
Since Monday's lows, tech stocks have surged 13% and are now about three percentage points below pre-tariff levels.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), rose 1.6%, extending weekly gains to 4.9%, the best week for blue chips since October 2023.
From the week's lows, the Dow has gained about 10%, and it currently trades nearly five percentage points below the level prior to the tariff news.
Materials were the best-performing sector on Friday, with the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) closing 3.5% higher, buoyed by strong rallies in mining stocks.
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) jumped 5.7% on the day and nearly 20% for the week, reaching levels last seen in 2012, as gold prices continued to break record highs.
Tensions in the Treasury market, which had triggered concern in Washington earlier in the day as the 30-year yield hit 5% and the 10-year surpassed 4.5%, eased by the close. The 30-year yield retreated sharply to 4.85%, while the 10-year settled at 4.47%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) ended in the green, up 0.54%.
Oil prices rose 2.1% to $61.50 a barrel, and copper climbed 4.8%, signaling easing fears about global economic conditions.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also reflected the improved risk sentiment, rising more than 5% to $83,850.
