In the current session, American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) is trading at $12.35, after a 5.26% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 24.74%, and in the past year, by 11.57%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Evaluating American Airlines Group P/E in Comparison to Its 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. 
American Airlines Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 13.29 of the Passenger Airlines industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable 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.

Low-cost investing pioneers continue slashing fees while newer exchange-traded funds quietly reverse the industry&#8217;s decades-long trend toward cheaper investing.
The Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) briefly overtook the State Street managed SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) as the world's largest ETF on Feb. 18, only for SPY to reclaim the top spot within days, <a href="https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/02/26/how-cheap-can-investing-get">The Economist reported recently</a>. Both S&amp;P 500 tracking funds now manage over $620 billion in assets, with VOO charging just 0.03% and SPY 0.09% annually.

</ul>
The price war among industry giants runs counter to what&#8217;s happening with newer market entrants. According to Morningstar data cited by The Economist, recently launched ETFs have reduced their fee advantage over mutual funds to just 0.2%, down from 0.7% in 2014.
Most ETFs created in recent years charge 0.5% or higher, bucking the historical downward trend in investment costs.
The pricing divide reflects fundamental differences in investment focus. While established funds typically track broad market indices, newer offerings pursue specialized strategies—environmentally conscious investments, stocks with specific characteristics, or actively managed approaches.

Scale economics drive the bifurcation. The largest 15 equity ETFs hold $3.9 trillion, exceeding the combined assets of the next 100 funds. According to the Economist, which cited data from Citigroup, roughly half of American ETFs operate at a loss due to insufficient size to cover operational expenses.
Industry leader Vanguard continues pushing costs lower, reducing fees on 87 funds in February and lowering its average expense ratio from 0.08% to 0.07%. With $10 trillion under management—double its 2018 assets—the company leverages massive scale economies while focusing on straightforward index investments.
The relationship between mainstream funds and specialized offerings creates what The Economist describes as a &#8220;strangely symbiotic&#8221; dynamic. Low-cost core holdings reduce overall portfolio expenses, potentially creating budget space for more expensive specialized investments.

For cost-conscious investors, the widening fee gap presents a clear choice. The traditional ETF value proposition—inexpensive broad market exposure—remains intact among established players, while specialized strategies come with premium pricing.
Average industry fees may plateau not from reaching efficiency limits, but because more investors choose specialized products with inherently higher costs. Those sticking with mainstream index offerings, The Economist said, may still realize &#8220;trillions of dollars in savings&#8221; in coming years.

Kratos Defense &amp; Security Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced its OpenEdge 2500 achieved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44216567/kratos-in-the-first-group-of-two-satellite-ground-system-products-to-achieve-difi-standard-complia">Digital IF Interoperability Consortium (DIFI) compliance</a>.
What Happened: Defense-focused technology company Kratos announced that its OpenEdge 2500 integration-ready digitizer has been designated as DIFI compliant.

Why Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Stock Is Moving Higher Monday

A leading retailer executive is sending warning signs on consumer spending in the wake of higher egg prices, tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">and higher inflation.</a>
What Happened: Weeks after Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">fourth-quarter financial results,</a> the company's CEO is sending warnings about macroeconomic concerns.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said budget-conscious consumers are changing their spending habits as food prices stay high.
"You can see that the money runs out before the month is gone, you can see that people are buying smaller pack sizes at the end of the month," McMillon said at the Economic Club of Chicago recently, as <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2025/03/01/walmart-ceo-warns-food-prices-are-causing-frustration-and-pain/">reported </a>by the Boston Herald.
McMillon said American consumers are looking for value when making their purchases.
While some items have come down in price, McMillon said food prices on items, including eggs remain elevated and are leading to consumers changing their spending habits.
"There are lots of income levels in this country — if you're at the lower end of that scale, you are feeling more frustration and pain because of higher food prices. They've persisted for years now, and you're just tired of it."

Why It's Important: McMillon's comments come after Walmart's guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43869433/walmart-expects-slower-growth-in-an-uncertain-time-cfo-says-on-earnings-call">signaled uncertainty over </a>macroeconomic conditions.
Walmart CFO John David Rainey said a higher level of uncertainty led to the company's cautious guidance.
"We have to acknowledge that we are in an uncertain time. And we don't want to get out over our skis here. There's a lot of the year to play out," Rainey said.
Rainey said tariffs create more uncertainty with food prices already high. The CFO said the retailer will work hard to "keep prices low."
"We are not immune to what is being suggested, but we'll work with suppliers."
Rainey said egg prices were a bit of an anomaly and could work itself out over time.
The comments also come after January inflation jumped the most since August 2023, with the rising price in the cost of eggs one of the contributing factors.
Other retailers facing high inflation and changing consumer spending have shared comments on Trump's tariff plans in recent months, including Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) CEO Mike Creedon.
Creedon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">said the retailer</a> could increase prices or change its product assortment due to Trump's tariffs. The CEO highlighted potential changes to pack sizes as one way to fight off tariffs.
"We believe there is a wide range of potential actions that we can take to help mitigate additional tariffs if and when they materialize," Creedon previously said.
Based on comments from Walmart and Dollar Tree, consumers are already buying smaller pack sizes in some cases with high food costs at stores and inflation still a major concern. With smaller pack sizes already being bought and consumers running out of money by month&#8217;s end, tariffs that could see prices rise could be a large concern for consumers.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock is down 3.47% to $88.50 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $58.56 to $105.30. Walmart stock is down 1.6% year-to-date in 2025 and up 46% over the last year.
