With a share price over $600, UnitedHealth is currently the largest weighting in the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average at around 9.5%.

Investors interested in Furniture stocks are likely familiar with Flexsteel Industries (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/flxs#NASDAQ">FLXS</a>) and SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sn#NYSE">SN</a>). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let&#39;s take a closer look.
Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.
Flexsteel Industries and SharkNinja, Inc. are both sporting a Zacks Rank of # 1 (Strong Buy) right now. The Zacks Rank favors stocks that have recently seen positive revisions to their earnings estimates, so investors should rest assured that both of these companies have improving earnings outlooks. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.
FLXS currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.79, while SN has a forward P/E of 25.42. We also note that FLXS has a PEG ratio of 1.15. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company&#39;s expected earnings growth rate. SN currently has a PEG ratio of 1.72.
Another notable valuation metric for FLXS is its P/B ratio of 1.42. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock&#39;s market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, SN has a P/B of 9.12.
Based on these metrics and many more, FLXS holds a Value grade of A, while SN has a Value grade of D.
Both FLXS and SN are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that FLXS is the superior value option right now.

Hoth Therapeutics Has Received A Notice Of Allowance For Its U.S. Patent Application 17/677,698 Titled "USE OF APREPITANT FOR TREATING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE".

Former Congressman Joe Garcia, who represented Florida's 26th congressional district, has voiced strong support for the cannabis legalization measure, known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amendment 3</a>, that will appear on the ballot in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">upcoming November elections</a>
"One of the most compelling reasons to support Amendment 3 is the growing body of research that suggests marijuana acts as an exit substance, not a gateway drug," said Garcia in a <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/article293689854.html">Miami Herald</a> opinion piece. "Contrary to outdated beliefs, numerous studies have shown that marijuana can help individuals reduce their dependence on more harmful substances, including prescription opioids."
He pointed out that the illicit market poses risks, including reports of marijuana being laced with dangerous substances like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fentanyl">fentanyl</a>. By regulating the market, Florida could ensure that consumers have access to safe, lab-tested products, he said.
Garcia also addressed concerns about teenage cannabis use. "Research indicates that in states where marijuana is legal, teen use rates have actually declined. This is likely due to the stringent regulations and safeguards that come with legalization, making it more difficult for underage individuals to access marijuana."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">And Then There's The Money</h2>
Estimates suggest that legalized marijuana could generate up to $431 million annually in new tax revenue in Florida.
"This influx of funds could be directed toward essential public services such as education, healthcare and infrastructure. Imagine the positive impact on our schools, hospitals and roads with this additional revenue stream. It's an opportunity to invest in our future and improve the quality of life for all Floridians," Garcia wrote.
This new source of income, he said, could have a transformative impact on the state.
"We have fewer individual freedoms and we are passing up millions in tax revenue, tourism dollars and market growth that will create new jobs right here in Florida. Amendment 3 is not just about legalizing marijuana; it's about adopting a sensible, evidence-based approach to drug policy."
Garcia is a paid advisor for the organization <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/smart-and-safe-florida" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Smart and Safe Florida</a>, which helped get Amendment 3 on the ballot.

Florida Cannabis Legalization Gains Support From Former Congressman, Citing Economic Growth, Public Health

Editor&#8217;s note: This article was updated to correctly state the title of the CCO and co-founder of Cornbread Hemp.
A California judge has denied a temporary restraining order (TRO) filed by national hemp advocates and businesses, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41196739/cheech-and-chong-cannabis-company-hemp-roundtable-petition-court-to-stop-gov-newsoms-controversi">Cheech and Chong's Global Holdings</a>, aimed at blocking the state's controversial ban on hemp products with detectable levels of THC. 
The TRO, which was requested as part of a lawsuit filed last month by the U.S. Hemp Roundtable and several hemp companies, sought to halt the enforcement of the new regulations until the case could be fully heard. 
However, the judge sided with the state and Gov. Gavin Newsom, allowing the ban to remain in place.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emergency Regulations Banning Hemp</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41012794/gov-newsoms-hemp-ban-goes-into-effect-consequences-for-industry-investors-patients">emergency regulations</a>, which went into effect on September 23, prohibit the sale of consumable hemp products with any detectable delta-9 THC or intoxicating cannabinoids like delta-8 THC in California. 
These regulations also limit hemp products to five servings per package and restrict sales to individuals aged 21 and over. 
Hemp advocates argue that this will severely impact the industry, especially businesses producing non-intoxicating hemp products that provide therapeutic benefits to consumers.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Reacts</h3>
The ruling prompted strong reactions. 
&#8220;Today, a judge sided against common sense and in favor of Gov. Newsom. The judge's ruling to deny a temporary restraining order against Newsom's hemp products ban announces that Californians will lose access to USDA-certified organic hemp products in retail stores across the state,&#8221; Jim Higdon, CCO and co-founder of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40833963/expert-calls-for-a-united-hemp-and-cannabis-front-industries-should-collaborate-and-push-for-fed">Cornbread Hemp </a>and a member of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, told Benzinga Cannabis in an email.
&#8220;At a time when the California cannabis dispensary system is undergoing a credibility crisis due to pesticide contamination, the governor has made it much more difficult for Californians to access the only cannabis products that consumers can be certain are free of pesticides – USDA-certified organic hemp products with third-party lab tests,&#8221; Higdon said.
The legal battle is set to continue, as the case moves forward, with the hemp industry determined to challenge the ban's legality in court.

California Judge Rules Gov. Newsom's Hemp Ban Stands Despite Industry Pushback (Corrected)

HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hubs#NYSE">HUBS</a>) recently inked a definitive agreement to acquire Cacheflow, an industry leader in B2B subscription billing management and configure, price, quote (CPQ) solution, for an undisclosed amount. Cacheflow will operate as HUBS&#39; wholly owned subsidiary following the completion of the buyout.
Cascheflow&#39;s AI native billing and subscription management solution is designed to streamline software buying and selling processes in a B2B space. The solution provides a unified, no-code platform for automating the SaaS sales flow.
In 2023, HubSpot introduced Commerce Hubs&#39; on its smart CRM (Customer Relationship Management) to simplify various processes such as invoicing and payments. HUBS&#39; Commerce Hub offering has gained solid market traction over the past year. With this acquisition, the company is aiming to further strengthen Commerce Hubs&#39; functionalities and enhance its prospects across industries.
Cacheflow&#39;s portfolio will make the quote-to-cash process easier, thereby simplifying the buying process and boosting customer satisfaction. It will also strengthen HUBS&#39; ability to address areas such as upselling, renewals and other commerce functions. Automation of subscription billing and CPQ will enable businesses to close deals faster and expedite revenue collection. A seamless purchasing process will also enhance customer retention. This will also bolster Commerce HUBS&#39; capabilities in managing clients and transaction data, enhancing enterprises&#39; visibility and decision-making.
<h2>Will This Buyout Drive HUBS&#39; Share Performance?</h2>
Customers appreciate flexibility and customization during product purchases. However, ensuring this in a legacy CPQ system, which involves several steps for product configuration, quote generation and pricing changes, is a time-consuming endeavor. This outdated billing and payment system leads to lengthy sales cycles and inefficient revenue collection. To tackle these challenges, enterprises are increasingly looking for a solution to automate key components of revenue management and enhance customer experience.
The subscription and billing management market is projected to grow at a substantial rate in the upcoming years. By integrating Cacheflow&#39;s AI-powered capabilities into Commerce Hub, HUBS is aiming to capitalize on these evolving market trends. The buyout will augment HubSpot&#39;s ability to address the complete commerce cycle for enterprises. This bodes well for long-term growth.
<h2>HUBS Stock&#39;s Price Performance</h2>
Shares of HubSpot have gained 19.2% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 43% growth.
