It offers packaged flowers, pre-roll, concentrates, edibles, and vape SKUs.

Kevin O'Leary, renowned for his role on Shark Tank, said that his primary motivation comes from proving his critics wrong, rather than financial gain.
What Happened: O'Leary shared that when people doubt his capabilities, it fuels his determination to succeed, according to a report<a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/04/shark-tank-kevin-oleary-haters-motivation-not-about-money-business-steve-jobs-founders-mindset/"> by</a> Fortune on Friday. He recounted an instance where he ventured into the watch insurance industry despite being told it was impossible. In April 2024, he launched the platform WonderCare, defying his naysayers.
"When someone tells me I can't do it, I turn around, two years later, kick their ass. That's a great motivation. It's not about the money anymore—I just like kicking their ass," O'Leary said.
His approach is influenced by a &#8220;founder's mindset,&#8221; a concept he attributes to working with the late Steve Jobs in the 1990s. O'Leary learned from Jobs to focus on essential tasks and ignore external criticism, a strategy he continues to apply.
O'Leary also highlighted the importance of balancing business with personal interests, such as photography and guitar collecting, to maintain creativity. He believes this balance is crucial for entrepreneurial success, a lesson he learned from his experiences with Jobs.

Why It Matters: Understanding O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s motivations provides insight into his business strategies and personal philosophies. Recently, O&#8217;Leary shared his admiration for his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/07/46188863/when-kevin-oleary-found-his-mother-was-secretly-an-investing-genius-the-performance-was-extraordinary-and-better-than-most-hedge-funds"> mother&#8217;s investment prowess</a>, describing her portfolio performance as &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; and superior to many hedge funds.
O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s financial advice extends beyond investments. He has urged individuals to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46200580/kevin-oleary-says-if-you-got-a-bonus-dont-blow-it-pay-off-your-debt-kill-your-credit-cards-and-chase-freedom-by-living-debt-free"> use bonuses to pay off debts</a> rather than indulge in unnecessary expenditures. This advice aligns with his broader financial philosophy of living debt-free and prioritizing financial security.
Additionally, O&#8217;Leary has criticized the spending habits of younger generations, particularly Gen Z, for their tendency to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46256179/kevin-oleary-slams-gen-zs-28-habit-that-could-cost-them-a-huge-sum-50-years-later-cant-stand-when-i"> spend on high-priced daily luxuries</a>. He believes such habits could hinder long-term wealth accumulation.
In the current economic climate, O&#8217;Leary notes that the venture<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46254436/kevin-oleary-says-the-venture-capital-market-has-dried-up-like-in-2008-now-even-big-companies-are-coming-on-shark-tank-for-funding"> capital market has become challenging</a>, reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis. This situation has led even established companies to seek funding through platforms like &#8220;Shark Tank.&#8221;

Kevin O'Leary Says 'It's Not About The Money Anymore,'—He Just Wants To Prove The Haters Wrong

On Friday, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping tax and spending bill into law during a July 4 picnic at the White House, touting it as a historic win, even as the Congressional Budget Office projects it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45937660/trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-is-the-largest-redistribution-from-poor-to-rich-in-american-history-sa">significantly widen</a> the federal deficit and leave millions uninsured.
What Happened: Flanked by Republican lawmakers and Cabinet members, Trump signed the multitrillion-dollar package on the White House driveway, using a ceremonial gavel gifted by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-sign-tax-cut-bill-july-4-3804df732e461a626fd8c2b43413c3f0">reported</a> the Associated Press.
"America's winning, winning, winning like never before," Trump declared, celebrating the bill's passage alongside a flyover of fighter jets and bombers. "Promises made, promises kept and we've kept them."
The legislation extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tips and Social Security income, boosts immigration enforcement and imposes $1.2 trillion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46163659/senate-republicans-propose-313-billion-cut-in-medicaid-spending-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill">cuts to Medicaid</a> and food assistance.

Despite strong Republican support, Democrats unanimously opposed the bill.&nbsp;
AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler called it "the worst job-killing bill in American history," accusing Trump of handing a $5 trillion gift to the wealthy while stripping support from working families.
Why It's Important: According to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">Congressional Budget Office</a>, the bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade and cause 11.8 million Americans to lose health coverage, largely due to Medicaid cuts.&nbsp;
Critics also warn it could erode gains made under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Trump, however, defended the bill as pro-growth: "Our country is going to be a rocket ship, economically."
With no Democratic support and tight Senate margins, the package's passage marks a key ideological pivot — and a flashpoint for the 2026 midterms, the report said.

Trump Signs Sweeping Tax And Spending Bill That CBO Says Will Add $3.3 Trillion To US Deficit, Cut Health Coverage For 11.8 Million Americans

Nintendo Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOF#OTC">NTDOF</a>) Switch 2 is expected to remain in short supply until next spring, according to analysts.
What Happened: According to Nikkei Asia's <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Media-Entertainment/Nintendo-Switch-2-likely-to-remain-scarce-until-next-spring-analysts">report</a>, the Nintendo Switch 2, which was released on June 5, is still in high demand, with many potential buyers in Japan resorting to lottery systems.
The console has been selling at a record pace and is still hard to find in stores a month after its release.
Analysts predict that the shortage may continue until next spring or even longer. Despite the high demand, the console&#8217;s availability is expected to remain limited. The shortage is attributed to the overwhelming demand and the company&#8217;s efforts to strengthen its production system to meet the demand.

Toyo Securities senior analyst Hideki Yasuda said the Switch 2 is &#8220;overwhelmingly popular compared to past game consoles, and consoles that have a strong initial response tend to continue to have high demand,&#8221; according to the report.
Why It Matters: The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a hot topic in the gaming industry. The new console, which boasts AI processors to enhance gameplay, was released amid much fanfare.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Despite the shortage, the Switch 2 has been selling at a record pace. Analysts predict sales of 18 million to 20 million units this fiscal year, which is a 20% to 30% increase from the original Switch. The shortage is expected to continue due to the high demand, with some analysts projecting that it may last until next spring.
The sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 have also had an impact on the other companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44984453/gamestop-stock-rises-amid-switch-2-preorders-whats-going-on">stock prices</a>. The stock price of Nintendo had been rising due to the popularity of the Switch 2, but it briefly dipped after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed skepticism about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44678084/nintendo-pushes-back-us-preorders-for-switch-2-amid-trump-tariff-impactlaunch-remains-on-track-for-june-things-may-change-in-the-days-ahead">Japan-U.S. </a>tariff agreement.

Nintendo Switch 2 Shortage To Continue Until Next Spring As Per Analysts: Report

President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will begin informing trading partners about new tariffs on their exports starting this Friday.
What Happened: These tariffs are scheduled to take effect on August 1. Trump mentioned that approximately &#8220;10 or 12&#8221; letters will be sent out initially, with more to follow in the coming days, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-03/trump-says-he-may-start-telling-nations-new-tariff-rates-friday">to</a> a Bloomberg report on Friday.
The president stated that by July 9, all countries would be notified of their new tariff levels, which could range from 10% to 70%. This move is part of Trump&#8217;s strategy to favor straightforward agreements over complex negotiations. Negotiations with countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, the European Union, and Switzerland are reaching critical stages.
Trump&#8217;s latest tariff threat is consistent with his previous ultimatums, suggesting that some countries may not have a say in their tariff levels. The highest proposed tariffs could exceed those initially outlined during his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement in April, which ranged from 10% to 50%.
Trump emphasized that countries would start paying these tariffs on August 1, with revenue beginning to flow into the US. The impact of these tariffs on inflation has led some Federal Reserve officials to be cautious about cutting interest rates, despite pressure from Trump.

While deals have been reached with the UK and Vietnam, other major trading partners like Japan and South Korea are still negotiating. Trump remains optimistic about reaching an agreement with India but has criticized Japan as a challenging partner.
Why It Matters: The announcement comes amid escalating trade tensions, notably with Japan. Trump recently threatened to impose tariffs of &#8220;30% or 35%&#8221; on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213186/trump-threatens-35-tariffs-on-japan-as-trade-deadline-looms-not-sure-were-going-to-make-a-deal"> Japanese exports if no agreement</a> is reached by the July 9 deadline, a significant increase from the current 10% rate reported earlier this week.
A trade deal with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46241070/trumps-vietnam-trade-deal-with-40-tax-on-transshipments-may-result-in-chinese-backlash-say-economists-they-want-inflation"> Vietnam has been secured</a>, imposing a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports and a 40% tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam, particularly targeting Chinese products. This deal grants the US tariff-free access to Vietnam&#8217;s domestic markets.
Furthermore, the Trump administration has reportedly scaled back its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46188192/trump-administration-reportedly-scales-back-ambitions-for-comprehensive-trade-deals-before-tariff-deadline"> ambitions for comprehensive trade deals</a>, opting for narrower agreements to avoid reimposing tariffs. This shift aims to reach agreements by the July 9 deadline, marking a departure from the initial plan to secure 90 trade deals during a 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs.

Trump Says US Will Raise Tariffs To Up To 70% As July 9 Deadline Looms

Australian actor Julian McMahon, known for his roles as Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four and popular series such as Charmed and Nip/Tuck, has passed away at the age of 56.
What Happened: According to a report <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/05/julian-mcmahon-dies-aged-56-cause-of-death-fantastic-four-niptuck-charmed">by</a> The Guardian, McMahon passed away in Clearwater, Florida, on Wednesday after battling cancer, a diagnosis that had not been publicly shared.
His wife, Kelly Paniagua, confirmed his death on Friday, expressing her sorrow and admiration for McMahon in a statement to Deadline. She described him as a man who cherished life, family, friends, and his work, and who aimed to bring happiness to others.

Born in Sydney in 1968, McMahon was the son of former Australian Prime Minister Sir William &#8220;Billy&#8221; McMahon. He began his career as a model before transitioning to acting, gaining fame with roles in Australian soap operas and later, American television series.
McMahon&#8217;s portrayal of the villainous Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four films and his role as Dr. Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck were among his most notable performances. He also starred in FBI: Most Wanted as Jess LaCroix.
Dick Wolf, producer of FBI: Most Wanted, expressed his condolences, calling McMahon&#8217;s death &#8220;shocking news&#8221; and extending sympathies to his family.
Why It Matters: The entertainment industry has recently faced the loss of several iconic figures. Just a few months prior, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44600140/val-kilmer-legendary-actor-who-played-iceman-in-tom-cruise-starrer-top-gun-dies-at-65">Val Kilmer</a>, known for his role as Iceman in Top Gun, passed away at 65 after battling pneumonia.
Kilmer&#8217;s health had been in decline since a throat cancer diagnosis in 2014, which significantly impacted his career.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lime's Financial Turnaround Gains Investor Attention</h2>
In February, Lime<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250218624910/en/Lime-Delivers-Record-Revenue-and-Profitability-Positive-Free-Cash-Flow-in-2024"> reported</a> a 32% increase in net revenue, reaching $686 million for 2024. The company also confirmed that it was free cash flow positive for the second year in a row, a rare feat in the micromobility sector, which has historically struggled to stay afloat.
Lime CEO Wayne Ting described 2024 as "an exceptional year" for the company, citing strong results across key financial and operational metrics, including record profits and expanded global reach.
&#8220;We grew profits faster than revenue in 2024, posting another record year of results through serving more than 24 million riders in hundreds of communities around the world and bringing Lime to more cities globally,&#8221; Ting said in a statement. &#8220;While we saw record demand in 2024, we're just scratching the surface of micromobility's potential to transform cities and better connect people.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPO Market Recovery Offers Fresh Opportunity</h2>
According to Reuters, the potential IPO follows a broader rebound in the U.S. public listing market, which raised nearly $27 billion in 2024 so far, a 45% increase compared to the same period last year.
Although the total still falls short of the 2021 record of $177 billion, companies like Circle Internet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), which recently raised over $1 billion through an IPO, have signaled growing investor interest in growth-stage tech firms, Reuters says.
Lime's IPO may test investor sentiment in the micromobility space, where competitors like Bird have filed for bankruptcy in recent years, Reuters reports. Unlike others in its category, Lime received prior investment from Uber and is among the few micromobility firms still pursuing public markets. Uber led a funding round for Lime in 2020, at which time the company was reportedly valued at $510 million.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/uber-backed-electric-bike-startup-lime-hires-banks-us-ipo-sources-say-2025-06-24/">&nbsp;</a>
According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter expect the upcoming IPO to value Lime significantly higher than its last reported valuation, although exact figures have not yet been disclosed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lime Targets Urban Pollution With 43 Million Car Trip Replacements</h2>
Environmental sustainability remains a core focus for Lime as it scales globally. According to the company, Lime riders helped avoid an estimated 20,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions in the last year by replacing car trips with shared electric vehicles.
Lime estimates its service replaced over 43 million car trips in 2024 and prevented the consumption of roughly 2.2 million gallons of gasoline, equal to approximately 8.5 million liters. The company says it also continues to lower its own operational footprint.
By offering electric scooters and bikes for trips under five miles, Lime says it aims to shift the way urban communities move while supporting city efforts to reduce traffic congestion and meet climate goals.

Lime's Long-Awaited IPO Is Finally on Track: Uber-Backed Scooter Startup Reports $686M Revenue and 'Cash Flow Positivity'

A 100% disabled veteran with a steady income and growing aches is considering whether to retire now or wait a few more years. In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/retirement/comments/1lmmxv6/should_i_retire_or_wait_a_few_years/">recent post</a> on Reddit's r/retirement forum, he explained his situation: he enjoys his job, but not like he used to. He and his wife bring in $7,500 a month (including her early Social Security benefits), have little savings, and own a home with $350,000 in equity.
He's wondering: Is it wise to walk away from a career now, or should he push through for a couple more years and save $100,000 first?

The veteran mentioned that "life happened," which is why there's not much in savings. However, the couple's medical needs are covered — he has VA benefits, and his wife is on Medicare with supplemental insurance.
Still, health is top of mind. "My body is getting achier every day," he wrote. And for many in similar situations, the question becomes whether it's worth exchanging time and well-being now for more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44504769/suze-orman-says-owning-a-house-is-not-a-retirement-plan-heres-how-to-build-true-financial-security-with-smart-diversification">financial security</a> later.
One Reddit commenter offered this perspective: "You may be trading money you don't need for time you don't get more of." It's a reminder that waiting too long could result in fewer healthy years to enjoy retirement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budgeting Is Key to Confidence</h2>
Others pointed out that the missing piece in this veteran's puzzle is a clear picture of his spending. One commenter advised tracking expenses to see whether $7,500 a month would realistically cover their needs. "Our experience is spending doesn&#8217;t naturally go down in retirement," they said. In fact, discretionary spending like travel may even increase.
Another practical suggestion: Try living on that $7,500 budget for six months while still working, and save the rest. This "test run" could offer peace of mind — or highlight unexpected financial gaps.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Have a Retirement Plan — Beyond the Finances</h2>
Financials aside, several commenters stressed the importance of knowing what you want to do in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/06/46159787/dave-ramsey-suggests-pausing-retirement-savings-to-speed-up-home-down-payment-warns-dont-borrow-from-or-cash-out-your-retirement-accounts-to-speed-up-your-down-payment-savings">retirement</a>, not just when to start it. "Make sure you retire to something — golf, garden, fishing, and your community," one said. "Don't just retire."
Another added: "No reason to retire unless you&#8217;re clear on how you&#8217;ll spend your time every day." Having a strong sense of purpose can make the transition smoother and more fulfilling.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Downsizing Could Unlock Cash</h2>
The couple's $350,000 in home equity may become a powerful resource, especially if they choose to downsize. Selling the home could provide a financial buffer and reduce living costs — but that plan may take time to execute, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162886/us-housing-market-is-not-just-broken-its-rigged-says-craig-shapiro-as-mamdani-vows-to-build-200000-publicly-subsidized-homes-freeze-rent-in-nyc">housing markets</a> can fluctuate.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>
This veteran's situation reflects a common dilemma: Should you step away from work when it starts taking a toll on your body — or push through a few more years to build more financial security?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but some strategies — like tracking spending, test-driving your retirement budget, and thinking ahead about lifestyle goals — can make the decision easier.
As one commenter put it, "You'll know when you're ready." But doing the math and making a plan could help that moment arrive with confidence instead of concern.

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

More than a decade ago, Warren Buffett said the national deficit could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43904075/warren-buffett-said-he-could-end-u-s-deficit-in-5-minutes-if-you-guys-cant-get-it-done-well-get-some-other-guys-to-get-it-done">solved in just five minutes</a>. His plan? "You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."
That 2011 quote, from an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2011/07/07/warren-buffetts-5minute-plan-to-fix-the-deficit.html">CNBC's Becky Quick</a>, resurfaced in early June — and this time, it gained traction with one of the world's most influential voices.
On June 4, Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) <a href="https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1930222931377844568">posted the clip on X</a> and asked, "Would you support this amendment?" Elon Musk didn't hesitate. He <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930298268661232083">reposted it</a> with the words "100%" and "This is the way," signaling full endorsement of Buffett's blunt solution.

</ul>
The idea, while simple on its face, taps into longstanding frustration over congressional accountability and ballooning debt. Buffett originally framed the plan as a tongue-in-cheek solution to Washington gridlock, but made it clear he believed politicians would act faster if their jobs were on the line.
"I can end the deficit in five minutes," he told Quick at the time. "It's just that simple."
Back in 2011, the U.S. <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/42532">deficit hovered just over $1 trillion</a>, about 8.5% of GDP. Today, it's projected to top $1.9 trillion — or roughly 6.7% of GDP. By Buffett's rule, Congress would have long since cleared out.
Lee, who reposted the clip on X, seemed to agree — and has hinted at wanting to turn it into real policy. In fact, several of his <a href="https://x.com/basedmikelee/status/1930454376000217304">recent posts call for stricter balanced budget</a> measures and constitutional amendments to force fiscal discipline. But translating Buffett's viral soundbite into actual legislation would require a two-thirds majority in both chambers or a convention of states — a high bar in any political climate.

Musk's endorsement of the idea adds fuel, though. His ability to move public opinion — and occasionally policy discussion — with a single post has made him one of the most unpredictable influencers in politics, even without holding office.
The Buffett clip is gaining renewed momentum among fiscal hawks and frustrated taxpayers alike. And while Buffett may have said it half in jest, the message still lands with a punch: if lawmakers were held personally accountable for the budget, the deficit might not be a recurring headline.
Buffett and Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44075038/warren-buffett-says-he-has-spoken-to-elon-musk-a-few-times-but-repeatedly-dodges-questions-about-tesla-ceos-doge-efforts-well-i-better-not-get-into-all-that">haven't always been aligned</a>. Buffett famously declined to invest in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), favoring Chinese automaker BYD instead. Musk, in turn, has publicly taken jabs at Buffett. "To be totally frank, I'm not his biggest fan," Musk told Joe Rogan on "<a href="https://youtu.be/RcYjXbSJBN8?si=AHItbBcTYYxDeQ-F">The Joe Rogan Experience</a>" in 2020. "He does a lot of capital allocation… reads a lot of annual reports… it's pretty boring, really."
But on this, they agree. Both men see congressional accountability as key to fixing the deficit—and Musk's viral repost gave Buffett's decade-old solution a jolt of relevance in today's debate.&nbsp;

In the current session, the stock is trading at $175.01, after a 1.48% spike. Over the past month, Fiserv Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>) stock increased by 5.30%, and in the past year, by 16.27%. 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751666417_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Fiserv 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 35.47 in the Financial Services industry, Fiserv Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 30.52. 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/2025/1751666417_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.

Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.97%, but in the past year, increased by 17.90%. 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/2025/1751662815_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Sherwin-Williams P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry 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 169.21 in the Chemicals industry, Sherwin-Williams Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 33.32. 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/2025/1751662815_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.
