Reuters Reports U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick Reportedly Says We Will Try To Finish Things; Talks Are Going Really Well, Hope They End This Evening; China Trade Talks Could Go Into Tomorrow

'Trump told Netanyahu he still wants to defuse Iran crisis with talks, not bombs'- Axios

<p><strong>Meta Platforms Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is entering its most statistically favorable 30-day stretch of the year, with a track record of consistently strong returns from June 11 to July 11 over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/seasonality">the past 13 years. </a></p>
<p>With shares trading at $698 on Tuesday, around 6% below their all-time high of $740 reached on Feb. 14, the stage may be set for a fresh breakout of record levels. </p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Remarkably Reliable Seasonal Pattern For Meta</strong></h1>
<p>Historical data from Seasonax shows that Meta shares have delivered gains in 12 out of the past 13 years during this specific 30-day window. </p>
<p>The average return in this period is 6.3%, with a median gain of 6.5%. The best return came in 2012 with a 14.68% rise, while 2022 marked the only losing year, with a modest 0.84% dip.</p>
<p>The standard deviation of returns is 4.49%, suggesting a fairly tight range of performance.</p>
<p>What makes this period especially compelling isn't just the strong gains, but how rarely those runs are interrupted by meaningful drawdowns.</p>
<p>Of the 12 positive years, only three saw a drawdown greater than 2% during the month: 2014 (-4.59%), 2016 (-4.37%) and 2020 (-3.72%). </p>
<p>Most of the time, intra-period pullbacks were either negligible or non-existent. For instance, in 2012, 2018 and 2023, the stock never dropped from the starting level during the entire 30-day stretch.</p>
<p>Even in the years with double-digit gains — 2012 (+14.68%), 2015 (+10.11%), 2019 (+12.99%) and 2023 (+10.05%) — drawdowns were capped at 1.72% or less, underlining how steady the climb tends to be.</p>
<p>Based on historical returns, if Meta follows its typical trend for this 30-day period, the stock could rise by $44 — bringing it near $742 by mid-July.</p>
<p>So far in 2025, Meta is up 19% year-to-date, outperforming the broader Nasdaq 100 index, which is up 4%, and is helped by robust earnings and aggressive monetization of its AI products.</p>
<p>In its April report, Meta showed revenue growth of 16% year over year to $42.3 billion and earnings per share of $6.43, up 35%.</p>

<h3>About Vale</h3>
<p>Vale is a large global miner and the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets. In recent years the company has sold noncore assets such as its fertilizer, coal, and steel operations to concentrate on iron ore, nickel, and copper. Earnings are dominated by the bulk materials division, primarily iron ore and iron ore pellets. The base metals division is much smaller, consisting of nickel mines and smelters along with copper mines producing copper in concentrate. In 2024, Vale sold a minority 10% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.</p>

The Analyst Verdict: PENN Entertainment In The Eyes Of 7 Experts

<p><strong>D-Wave Quantum's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>52.04 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 18.58% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>

Peering Into Lucid Group's Recent Short Interest

<p>In the current market session, <strong>Fiserv Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>)</strong> share price is at $168.00, after a <strong>0.63%</strong> spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by <strong>12.11%</strong>, but in the past year, increased by <strong>13.41%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749582026_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>Fiserv P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the <strong>35.25</strong> in the Financial Services industry, Fiserv Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of <strong>29.55</strong>. 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. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749582026_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>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. </p>
