To achieve its objective the Fund uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve the Funds investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The Fund generally expects to use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow the Index, in instances in which a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Index.

NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) on Monday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/palantir" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced that they</a> had finalized the acquisition of the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) for employment within NATO&#8217;s Allied Command Operations (ACO) on <a target="_blank" href="https://shape.nato.int/news-releases/nato-acquires-aienabled-warfighting-system-" rel="noreferrer noopener">March 25</a>.
Financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed. Palantir stock gained Monday on the update.
The MSS NATO capability empowers commanders and warfighters to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) safely and securely in core military operations.

By providing a common data-enabled warfighting capability to the Alliance, MSS NATO enhances intelligence fusion and targeting, battlespace awareness and planning, and accelerated decision-making through a wide range of AI applications.
Through MSS NATO, SHAPE plans to accelerate the adoption of other novel capabilities being developed across the Alliance, demonstrating a strong and abiding partnership between the North American and European technology base.
SHAPE is the military headquarters of ACO.
The contract took just six months to complete.
ACO will likely begin using the new system within the next 30 days.
The move coincided with rising anxiety among European members over a potential US withdrawal after Trump threatened to stop protecting the continent pending a defense spending boost, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/7f80b1bc-114c-4a00-ad06-6863fb435822" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.
NATO is also striving to sustain China&#8217;s development of AI military capabilities.
The Financial Times cited federal records showing that Palantir has won more than $2.7 billion in U.S. government contracts since 2009, including over $1.3 billion from the Defense Department.
Palantir stock surged over 300% over the past 12 months as the Street expects the company to benefit from the Trump administration&#8217;s defense spending and commercial clients using its AI systems.
The U.S. military already uses its version of Palantir&#8217;s Maven technology, which was extended with a $99.8 million five-year contract last September.
A similar system has also been used in Ukraine.

 </style>Through a detailed examination of Amazon.com, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
A Price to Earnings ratio of 33.43 significantly below the industry average by 0.87x suggests undervaluation. This can make the stock appealing for those seeking growth.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 6.86 relative to the industry average by 1.41x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
With a relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 3.11, which is 2.09x the industry average, the stock might be considered overvalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 7.34%, which is 2.08% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $38.55 Billion, which is 5.23x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
With higher gross profit of $88.9 Billion, which indicates 5.46x above the industry average, the company demonstrates stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
The company is experiencing remarkable revenue growth, with a rate of 10.49%, outperforming the industry average of 10.33%.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744642909_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio measures the financial leverage of a company by evaluating its debt relative to its equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
In terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, Amazon.com can be assessed by comparing it to its top 4 peers, resulting in the following observations:
<ul>
<li>
Amazon.com exhibits a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers in the sector, as indicated by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.46.
</li>
<li>
This suggests that the company has a more favorable balance between debt and equity, which can be seen as a positive aspect for investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Amazon.com in the Broadline Retail industry, the PE ratio is low compared to peers, indicating potential undervaluation. The PB and PS ratios are high, suggesting a premium valuation based on book value and sales. In terms of ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth, Amazon.com outperforms its industry peers, reflecting strong financial performance and growth potential.

<ul>
<li>
The Price to Earnings ratio of 22.78 is 0.39x lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 7.54, which is 2.99x the industry average, Meta Platforms might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 8.64, which is 2.94x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.0%, which is 4.22% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $28.26 Billion is 6.94x above the industry average, highlighting stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.

<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744642900_0_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio helps evaluate the capital structure and financial leverage of a company.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When evaluating Meta Platforms alongside its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights arise:
<ul>
<li>
In terms of the debt-to-equity ratio, Meta Platforms has a lower level of debt compared to its top 4 peers, indicating a stronger financial position.
</li>
<li>
This implies that the company relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.27.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The PE, PB, and PS ratios for Meta Platforms indicate that it may be overvalued compared to its peers in the Interactive Media &amp; Services industry. However, its high ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth suggest strong operational performance and growth potential relative to industry competitors.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Minnesota Rep. Kelly Morrison Bought Over $34K Worth of Meta Platforms Stock: Here's What You Should Know

In the ever-changing and fiercely competitive business landscape, conducting thorough company analysis is crucial for investors and industry experts. In this article, we will undertake a comprehensive industry comparison, evaluating Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and its primary competitors in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. By closely examining key financial metrics, market position, and growth prospects, our aim is to provide valuable insights for investors and shed light on company's performance within the industry.
<h3>Apple Background</h3>
Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.
