The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of a Leveraged Strategy and an Income Generation Strategy. The Leveraged Strategy aims to amplify returns by employing derivatives to achieve exposure to MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR, or the Underlying Security) at daily levels ranging from 150 percent to 200 percent of the Funds net assets. The Income Generation Strategy complements the Leveraged Strategy by utilizing credit call spreads to seek to generate premium income and manage risk associated with the Funds leveraged exposure.

<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and 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.

Expert Outlook: ServiceNow Through The Eyes Of 42 Analysts

<h3>A Look at PTC P/E Relative to Its 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 119.35 in the Software industry, PTC Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 47.55. 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/2025/1751493619_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.

PNFP

8 Analysts Have This To Say About Pinnacle Finl Partners

As President Donald Trump pressures Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, his newly passed tax-and-spending bill may be making that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">goal harder to achieve</a>. 
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46215975/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-offers-seniors-a-6000-bonus-tax-deduction-heres-how-you-qualify-for-the-benefit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump administration's proposed tax bill</a>, which supporters dubbed the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; is expected to push borrowing costs higher. This undermines Trump's own calls for cheaper money, journalist Matt Yglesias says.
In a conversation <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-matthew-yglesias.html">with</a> the New York Times&#8217; Ezra Klein, Yglesias explained that massive borrowing plans could fuel inflation. Ultimately, this makes it harder for the Fed to justify lower rates or achieve long-term reductions.
The &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; will balloon the federal deficit and subsequently crowd out private lending, Yglesias adds. This will pressure the Fed to keep interest rates high, and ultimately raise the cost of living for average Americans.
&#8220;So if you're talking about young people who want to buy a house, the sticker price of a house matters, but the price of a mortgage also matters,&#8221; Yglesias says. 
Car loans, small business financing, rural hospitals and energy bills will likely be affected, he adds.
&#8220;So it's going to raise costs across the board for middle-class people, take away health care from lower-income people, put a big strain on rural hospital systems,&#8221; Yglesias says.

Why It Matters: Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other Republicans are hammering Powell online for not cutting interest rates fast enough, despite the fiscal contradiction at the heart of their messaging.
Observers note that Trump is attacking Powell and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213361/trump-is-slamming-jerome-powell-because-he-wants-a-weaker-dollar-says-ed-yardeni-pounding-powell-pounding-the-dollar">relentlessly pressuring the Fed</a> to cut interest rates in order to devalue the dollar, boost U.S. exports and curb imports.
Powell emphasized that any rate cut at the July 29-30 Federal Open Market Committee meeting would be data-dependent.
Meanwhile, House Democrats are arguing that Trump&#8217;s tax legislation will worsen the nation's financial state and strip away Medicaid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46215083/how-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-impacts-snap-medicaid-taxes-and-student-loans">and other basic services</a>. 
"It explodes our national debt, it militarizes our entire economy, and it strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what? To give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation? We can not stand for it, and we will not support it. You should be ashamed.&#8221; Representative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday, July 2.
What&#8217;s Next: The Senate passed Trump's bill on July 1 in a 50-50 vote, with Vance as the tiebreaker. Now, it goes back to the House of Representatives, where Speaker Mike Johnson will work to meet a July 4 deadline.

Northann Regains Compliance With NYSE Guidelines On Audit Opinion Disclosure

Xponential Fitness Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPOF#NYSE">XPOF</a>) shares are rising in extended trading Wednesday after the company disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concluded an investigation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XPOF">without taking action</a>.
What Happened: After market close on Wednesday, fitness franchisor Xponential Fitness said in a filing that the SEC completed its investigation of the company, which began in late 2023, without action.
In December 2023, the SEC requested that Xponential Fitness provide certain documents. The company said it fully cooperated with the regulator&#8217;s investigation over the past 18 months and was informed on Tuesday that no action would be taken.
Xponential Fitness shares were up 22.12% in after-hours, trading at $9.11 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy XPOF Stock</h1>
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, Xponential Fitness is in the Consumer Discretionary 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.
