Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares are trading higher by 6% to $44.85 this week following news of Donald Trump's victory in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">2024 U.S. presidential election</a>. The stock has otherwise pulled back roughly 1.2% Thursday afternoon following the The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41820253/fed-cuts-interest-rates-to-lowest-since-february-2023-sticks-to-data-driven-path">lower interest rates</a> by 0.25 percentage points.
Trump's win, coupled with a Republican-controlled Senate, has generated optimism among investors for policies that could benefit major banks and boost the financial sector broadly.
What To Know: Analysts expect that Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">proposed tax cuts</a> could lead to higher net profits for corporations, particularly large financial institutions, as they capitalize on lower tax rates. This potential increase in profitability has made Bank of America's stock more attractive to investors.
Trump's economic plan includes further relaxing financial regulations, following his previous efforts to ease provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which had imposed strict oversight on banks in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. 
If further deregulation efforts materialize, Bank of America and other large banks may see reduced compliance costs and greater operational flexibility, enabling them to expand their lending activities and profit margins.

What Else: Trump's plan to stimulate the economy through infrastructure spending could also increase demand for financing and investment services. As one of the largest U.S. banks, Bank of America stands to benefit from a stronger domestic economy, which could drive loan growth and improve credit conditions. 
Furthermore, Trump's trade policies, while potentially inflationary, may encourage capital flows into the U.S. banking sector, as firms look for stable financing amid global market shifts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BAC Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Bank of America &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Bank of America, which is trading at $44.71 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 2.24 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BAC has a 52-week high of $45.55 and a 52-week low of $27.34.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $173.19, after a 0.78% increase. Over the past month, Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) stock increased by 14.80%, and in the past year, by 45.93%. 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.

<h3>Expedia Group P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry 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. 
Expedia Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 33.63 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure 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/2024/1731011414_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.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) shares are trading higher by 4.14% to $100.75 Thursday afternoon amid hopes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41806635/whats-going-on-with-us-listed-chinese-stocks-like-alibaba-jd-nio-on-thursday">economic stimulus from China</a> following President-elect Donald Trump's win.
Trump's campaign promise to raise tariffs on Chinese imports up to 60% threatens to disrupt trade and trim China's GDP by one percentage point, leading Beijing to consider significant fiscal measures to support its economy.
What To Know: With the National People's Congress meeting this week, analysts expect a stimulus package potentially exceeding 10 trillion yuan ($1.39 billion), aimed at local government debt and real estate. 
For Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce and cloud company, stimulus could provide a crucial lift amid slowing consumer spending and domestic economic uncertainty. 
Enhanced financial support would likely increase consumer purchasing power, directly benefiting Alibaba's core e-commerce revenue and affiliated services like Alipay.

What Else: Alibaba's gains Thursday reflect investor optimism that economic support will stabilize China's economy and offset potential losses from rising U.S. tariffs. As consumers regain confidence and spending power, Alibaba stands to benefit across its business lines, from retail to cloud computing.

Shares of Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>), a leading solar energy technology provider, have fallen 17% this week amid a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENPH/earnings">analyst rating updates</a>.
Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election and GOP congressional gains signal a potential shift away from the renewable energy incentives that have bolstered the industry.
What To Know: Enphase Energy has thrived in recent years due to favorable federal and state policies promoting green energy, including tax credits that make solar systems more affordable for homeowners and businesses. 
The company has benefited from the extension of the federal solar investment tax credit and the broader clean energy policies of the Biden administration, which aligned with investor expectations for a sustained green transition. However, Trump's new term, alongside GOP legislative support, could jeopardize these subsidies.
A central component of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41784504/trumps-win-sends-indices-to-record-highs-financials-small-caps-surge-bitcoin-tops-75-000-w">Trump's economic platform</a> is repealing various green energy tax credits, including those for solar installations, which could directly impact Enphase's core customer base. Trump has argued that these incentives distort the energy market and intends to prioritize tax breaks for fossil fuel production instead.

This policy shift could result in reduced demand for solar installations if tax credits are repealed, as consumers and businesses may find it less financially viable to invest in solar energy without government assistance.
What Else: Trump&#8217;s proposed economic approach also includes rolling back environmental regulations, which could favor traditional energy sectors over renewables.
With the Republican-led Congress expected to support these policies, the likelihood of favorable conditions for fossil fuels has increased, raising concerns about competition within the energy sector.
Analysts also warn that a potential increase in trade tariffs could hurt Enphase's supply chain. Trump has committed to reimposing high tariffs on Chinese goods and implementing a 10% universal tariff on all imports.
Enphase, which sources components globally to keep production costs low, could see rising material costs under these tariffs. Higher costs would likely compress margins and challenge Enphase's pricing power, potentially making it harder to compete with fossil fuel energy sources whose production may become relatively cheaper.
