<h3>e.l.f. Beauty 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. 
e.l.f. Beauty has a better P/E ratio of 38.47 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 33.49 of the Personal Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that e.l.f. Beauty Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

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.

Assessing LPL Finl Hldgs: Insights From 12 Financial Analysts

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) stock was extremely volatile last month, marked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44096388/plug-power-announces-continued-cash-flow-improvement-and-progress-on-path-to-profitability">disappointing earnings</a>, strategic cost-cutting measures and a significant capital raise to bolster the company&#8217;s financial position.
What To Know: The hydrogen fuel cell company announced in March that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan">missed analyst expectations</a> for the fourth quarter of 2024, reporting $191.5 million in revenue versus the projected $263.2 million, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite a 583% year-over-year increase in electrolyzer revenue, the company posted a gross margin loss of 122% and recorded $971.3 million in non-cash impairment charges.&nbsp;
To address these challenges, Plug launched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan">&#8220;Project Quantum Leap,&#8221;</a> aiming to cut annual expenses by $150 million to $200 million through workforce reductions, facility consolidations, and discretionary spending cuts. That was enough for investors as the stock sold off and has continued to trend lower since.
J.P. Morgan analyst Bill Peterson reiterated a Neutral rating following the quarter, noting that while Plug could see <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44147221/plug-powers-cautious-climb-analyst-highlights-growth-amid-funding-delays">moderate growth in 2025</a> through increased electrolyzer deployments and material handling demand, its financial outlook remains uncertain. 
The company also lowered its full-year revenue guidance to a range of $700 million to $800 million, down from prior expectations of $850 million to $950 million.
On March 19, Plug announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/offerings/25/03/44401708/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today-8">$280 million capital raise</a> through a stock and warrant offering, a move CEO Andy Marsh said would improve liquidity and position the company for long-term profitability. 
Marsh further signaled confidence by opting to receive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44417764/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today">50% of his salary</a> in company stock, reinforcing management's commitment to Plug's future. Despite the positive reinforcement, shares continued to move lower, closing out March at the lows for the month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLUG Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Plug Power &#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 &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Plug Power, which is trading at $1.31 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 76.92 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 &#8220;go short&#8221; 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.
PLUG Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Plug has a 52-week high of $4.88 and a 52-week low of $1.26. Plug shares have fallen approximately 13% over the trailing month and are down 26.7% since March 7. The stock was hovering around $1.31 at the time of publication Wednesday.

CoreWeave shares are trading higher following a report from The Information suggesting that Google is in advanced talks to rent Nvidia AI servers from CoreWeave.

The calendar may have flipped to April, but trade drama is still driving the markets. President Trump&#8217;s April 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement is only the latest White House effort to make imports more expensive.
One of the largest yet was the 25% import tax on cars and car parts announced in March. This has already changed how Americans shop, as car buyers raced to the lots last month to purchase new vehicles under the wire. Economists estimate that the price of a new car could jump by as much as $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the make and model. That&#8217;s likely to make people hang on to older cars for longer, or buy new ones as soon as possible.
However, with every shakeup comes an opportunity, and some companies may benefit from changing trends in the automobile industry. In this article, we'll review five car-adjacent stocks that could see tailwinds from auto tariffs.
Here are five car-adjacent stocks that could benefit from all this car trade drama.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AutoZone Inc.</h2>
AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) found its way onto one of our lists last year when Trump first began musing about tariffs and tailwinds for DIY auto parts stores, which have only increased with this new round of import taxes. AutoZone does source significant merchandise from Canada and Mexico, another pair of Trump trade targets. Still, company executives previously mentioned they expect to pass tariff costs back onto consumers with minimal pushback. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1NlTVRXnqNYDgnB05k-Fg2zH3MAmFpZlH0xqEC2y2vS68QL3CxW_10hBgTKi80CJ6oCtFNOkV4VZtwPJT1NN4mHcXJj_CFcNhuiLSW581nzb2Koj8cTiF1dS4kRdBo_yGKeIUjw?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
AutoZone is one of the ‘big three' auto parts brands in the United States, along with O&#8217;Reilly Automotive and Advance Auto Parts. In our view, AutoZone has the most promise, thanks to its strong margins, reasonable valuations and catalysts from changing consumer trends. The stock trades at 22.5 times forward earnings (compared to 28.9 for ORLY) and received two recent analyst upgrades, including one from Goldman Sachs's Kate McShane, a long-time AZO bear. The company's stock chart also looks promising, with a strong uptrend above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and an 86.96 Momentum rating on Benzinga Edge's rankings. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CarMax Inc.</h2>
If new car prices rise, more consumers will turn to the used car market, where price hikes are expected to be less impactful. In this scenario, it would benefit to be the largest seller of used cars and trucks on the market &#8211; a title still held by CarMax Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>) despite stiff competition from online startup Carvana.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdgPYDonDoAaLcYx0jUvqOW8qNo6hltEKVnlcDlZuRvPNAtIQSmxwLwv2QN8GoP6OTm4oFgw1VnxlDsGg1UiJN1Eb-YR844tbKZKMeInBsoc1qm5fs7ntqCAdrDbWLaE74cJjFmow?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
CarMax has the largest fleet of pre-owned vehicles available, and more than 80% of its revenue comes from the sale of used cars and trucks. While selling used vehicles is typically a low-margin business, CarMax has narrowed the gap with Carvana and posted a higher profit margin (1.77% vs. 1.54%) in Q4 2024. CarMax also has a robust financing department that should benefit later this year if the Federal Reserve continues cutting rates and loosening financial conditions. The company trades at 20.2 times forward earnings and just 0.47 times sales (compared to 3.32 P/S for Carvana) and recently triggered a technical buying signal with a bullish MACD crossover. Technical traders should keep an eye on the 200-day moving average for signs of resistance; a breakthrough above this level could trigger more upward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari N.V.</h2>
A premier Italian automaker might not be a typical choice to benefit from forceful US auto tariffs, but Ferrari N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) is far from your typical car manufacturer. The typical Ferrari owner is not someone who buys a car for practical reasons, like commuting or hauling cargo. A Ferrari buyer is purchasing a collectible, a rare and expensive vehicle driven for pleasure (and to show off to other rich people). And collectors with the means to purchase a Ferrari aren't going to let tariffs deter them.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1c7aR6ZDtplLHJt74ycUuLxeO26dxptva56d_BPw8o4NIWotJXmPP8YfUIPpHM_f48aH72rn3uI7t541rrChfM3oGvUZG1hkcXGMx7lU2fK6wP4HzU1hiOULRtZ-wcZrpFVuvFg?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Ferrari has some of the strongest margins in car manufacturing- the company reported an impressive 22.8% profit margin in the most recent Q4 earnings call. It also projects 14.5% EPS growth over the next 12 months. It received a solid 69.79 Growth and 79.7 Quality scores on Benzinga Edge rankings. RACE was upgraded from Equal-Weight to Overweight by analysts at Barclays on March 28. The three most recent price targets from UBS, JP Morgan and Evercore indicate a potential upside of nearly 17% from present levels.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valvoline Inc.</h2>
Valvoline Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVV#NYSE">VVV</a>) primarily sells oil and lubricants for cars and trucks through retail stores or its own chain of quick-service franchises, such as Jiffy Lube or Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Valvoline's fast service and products enable outsized profits, and its margins are some of the best in the auto repair industry.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6PxAZQ6dDg2sRQQS4M1Gcwl9fi341gyTENTltPUrsW1_g1CksW3EjOsdgS9HHe7KWXPPg0o4rvX38IgQN6gVhjPJl7HCftkZ549zHX2grW7nzVv-zKeTwR-H4krb60x5H3c-8_g?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Traders will notice a potential double bottom pattern forming on the VVV stock chart, as the price has now twice dropped back to the $35 level that served as resistance in January. The stock also has a 16.82 P/E ratio and expects to grow EPS figures by 18% over the next 12 months. And if consumers are going to hold onto their cars longer, they'll need to take better care of them, which means no longer ignoring that pesky every-3,000-mile oil change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.</h2>
Selling tires isn't exactly a high margin business either, but Goodyear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>) makes our list thanks to expectations of future cost reductions, recent analyst upgrades, and a high domestic production rate. And once again, if consumers hold onto their vehicles longer, replacing wear-and-tear parts like tires will become more imperative.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfW0CeZYd6ptazygMBxPK_DtD9c72YPhopDWSaLFT-WXjUTHfp9AKswb3PyyLn6fwqcJRGKKBa8ApBppUEyYtHU7QfFghgNIhyUuExZpfiQtHwj6KnJ5w5P4PS3a3zfLxJ-xRs8sQ?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Goodyear received an upgrade from Deutsche Bank on the final day of March, plus a price target boost from $10 to $13, indicating a potential upside of 45%. Deutsche cited the company's chemicals division divestiture and sale of its off-road tires business as tangible cost-cutting measures. The stock trades at just 4.7 times forward earnings and 0.14 times sales. Benzinga Edge also gives GT an 89.90 Value score, as the stock price appears to be consolidating around the $9 mark. Look for shares to break out of their long-term range for the next leg up.
