President Donald Trump on Thursday temporarily postponed the enforcement of a 25% tariff on most imports from Mexico, offering a one-month reprieve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">amid economic uncertainty. </a>
The move follows a conversation between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, during which they agreed to exempt all trade covered under the USMCA agreement from immediate tariff hikes, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-economy-mexico-canada-bfed103a11a2a71d8353350f94c78814">reports</a>.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s tariffs, originally set to take full effect in February, were first delayed and now postponed again, giving businesses and markets additional time to adjust. While the announcement primarily impacts trade with Mexico, similar tariffs on Canadian imports remain in place, fueling concerns of a prolonged trade standoff between the U.S. and its northern neighbor. 
Mexican officials have framed this as a diplomatic victory, with Sheinbaum stating that Mexico has made significant progress in meeting U.S. security and migration demands.
The tariff delay comes as Mexico intensifies its crackdown on organized crime and drug trafficking, delivering 29 cartel leaders to the U.S. and tightening border security, the AP reports. Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's commitment to curbing fentanyl smuggling, citing a 41% drop in border seizures between January and February. 
Trump, in turn, assured Sheinbaum that his administration would take stronger action against the flow of American firearms into Mexico, a longstanding demand from Mexican authorities.

Why It Matters: In an interview with CBS News that aired on Sunday, Warren Buffett criticized tariffs as &#8220;an act of war&#8221; that ultimately function as a tax on consumers, warning that they drive up prices and burden businesses. He pointed out that tariffs create inflationary pressure by increasing costs for companies, which are then <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44070257/warren-buffett-calls-tariffs-an-act-of-war-warns-they-function-as-a-tax-on-goods-amid-market-turmoil">passed down to consumers. </a>
Buffett remains skeptical of their long-term economic benefits, stating that tariffs disrupt global trade and lead to market instability. His comments come as financial markets experience turbulence, with major indices and cryptocurrencies fluctuating in response to Trump&#8217;s trade policies. 
While the temporary relief benefits Mexican trade, the looming April 2 deadline keeps the uncertainty alive.

Trump Delays Mexico Tariffs For A Month, Economic Uncertainty Persits

Looking into the current session, Evercore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>) shares are trading at $209.23, after a 6.01% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 26.68%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 6.57%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741290341_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Evercore P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Evercore has a better P/E ratio of 24.52 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 23.15 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that Evercore Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741290341_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.

Touchstone Launches TLCI ETF To Capitalize On Global Growth

President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">promise to place tariffs</a> on Canada and Mexico could hurt automakers, including Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149833/trump-delays-ford-gm-stellantis-from-from-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-for-one-month">Trump postponed plans</a> to place tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico until April. The one-month reprieve could see automotive companies racing to get parts and models into the U.S.
A<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44119668/trump-tariffs-could-make-your-next-car-12000-more-expensive-expert-says-25-fees-will-have-a-sharp-negative-effect-on-auto-sales"> previous report</a> said that Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) have several models that are assembled in the American border countries that would see significantly higher prices for automakers and potentially consumers.
Experts estimated that some models would cost thousands of dollars more due to tariffs with some up to $12,000 more. This leaves automakers with tough decisions of whether to pass the entire higher cost onto the consumer, which could hurt demand for several models.
Tesla is known for having some of the most American-made models. Still, it gets more than 20% of its auto parts from Mexico, according to a report from <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/03/05/tesla-gets-more-than-20-of-its-parts-from-mexico-yes-it-will-be-affected-by-tariffs/">Electrek</a>.
Here is a chart showing the percentage of parts made in Mexico for various models, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
<ul>
<li>Model 3 LR AWD/RWD: 20%</li>
<li>Model 3 Performance: 20%</li>
<li>Model Y LR AWD/RWD: 25%</li>
<li>Model Y Performance: 20%</li>
<li>Cybertruck: 25%</li>
<li>Model S: 20%</li>
<li>Model X: 25%</li>
</ul>
The NHTSA includes the U.S. and Canada together for parts. That means Tesla could also get some of its parts from Canada.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While the tariffs on automotive imports are currently delayed, they are scheduled to come back in April. Some experts question how long the tariffs will be in place, as they could be a political tool to get Canada and Mexico to agree to other items.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43582376/not-a-bad-return-on-his-investment-bernie-sanders-says-elon-musk-spent-277-million-to-elect-trump-and-made-154-billion-since-election-day">Trump&#8217;s closest allies</a>. While some think that the close relationship between Musk and Trump keeps the companies connected to Musk immune from short-term and long-term threats, they could be mistaken.
Trump has undone several major electric vehicle initiatives put in place by former President Joe Biden and is expected to push for Congress to remove the $7,500 federal tax incentive on purchasing a new EV.
While that move could hurt Tesla and other EV companies, Musk has been in favor of removing the subsidy as it will hurt his competitors more than his own company.
If tariffs on Mexico and Canada come back and last for more than a day, Tesla like other companies could be forced to decide if it will eat the extra costs and hurt its profit margins or pass the higher costs onto consumers.
Due to Musk's growing political presence and a refresh of the Model Y, Tesla has been part of a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44128646/tesla-sales-drop-in-europe-in-february-some-countries-down-over-40-is-musks-political-push-hurting-ev-company"> large overall sales decline </a>across many parts of the world. With higher prices, Tesla could see even lower demand from consumers.
A Brand Finance survey found that Musk&#8217;s comments may have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hurt Tesla&#8217;s brand value.</a>
Tesla fell to 36th&nbsp;place in the 2025 rankings, down from 18th&nbsp;place in 2024. The electric vehicle company had a brand value of $43 billion in the 2025 rankings, down 26% from $58.27 billion in 2024.
Tesla&#8217;s scores in categories such as "reputation," "recommendation" and "consideration" all fell from the prior year.
Price Action: Tesla stock is down 6.5% to $260.99 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 31.1% year-to-date in 2025.
While Tesla stock previously soared after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, the stock is back to nearly where it was after the victory.
Tesla stock closed at $251.44 on Nov. 5 and opened for trading at $284.67 on Nov. 6 after Trump&#8217;s victory was announced.

FTAI Aviation's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

When I first started in this business nearly four decades ago, one of the first lessons I learned from my mentors was to follow the money. And when company insiders start using corporate cash to buy back their own shares, that&#8217;s exactly the kind of money trail I love to follow.
You see, companies that aggressively repurchase their shares tend to deliver impressive long-term performance, provided they&#8217;re doing it intelligently. It&#8217;s not just about throwing money at the market – it&#8217;s about disciplined capital allocation that creates lasting value for shareholders who have the patience to let the strategy work its magic.
The formula is deceptively simple: reduce the number of outstanding shares, increase earnings per share even if total profits remain flat, and watch as the stock price climbs over time. Of course, as with any investment strategy, execution matters enormously.
I&#8217;ve spent decades watching companies destroy value by repurchasing shares at inflated prices, or worse, borrowing heavily to fund buybacks while neglecting the core business. But when done right – when management has the discipline to buy back shares at reasonable valuations using excess cash flow – the results can be magnificent.
The historical evidence is compelling. Take Apple, which launched its massive repurchase program in 2012 when the stock was trading between $60-80 on a split-adjusted basis. Since then, they&#8217;ve bought back hundreds of billions worth of shares while the stock has increased more than tenfold. What&#8217;s remarkable isn&#8217;t just the stock price appreciation but how the buybacks amplified shareholder returns by concentrating ownership.
Or consider AutoZone, perhaps the most impressive buyback story in American business. Since the late 1990s, the auto parts retailer has reduced its share count by over 80%, turning what might otherwise have been a decent business into a compounding machine. A $10,000 investment in AutoZone 25 years ago would be worth over $500,000 today. While the company grew revenues at a respectable rate, it was the consistent reduction in share count &#8211; routinely 5-10% annually &#8211; that supercharged investor returns.
NVR Inc., the homebuilder, offers another instructive example. Since the late 1990s, NVR has shrunk its share count by over 75%, helping transform a cyclical housing stock into one of the market&#8217;s best long-term performers. What&#8217;s particularly notable about NVR is how they continued their buyback program even during housing downturns, when the stock was most undervalued &#8211; the exact opposite of most companies that buy high and suspend repurchases when prices fall.
Lowe&#8217;s provides yet another case study in buyback excellence. Over the past decade, the home improvement retailer has reduced its outstanding shares by approximately 40% while growing earnings substantially. This combination of operational improvement and shrinking share count helped Lowe&#8217;s deliver returns that significantly outpaced the broader market.
Even big banks like JPMorgan Chase have demonstrated the power of well-executed buybacks. Following the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent regulatory changes, JPMorgan received approval to repurchase significant amounts of stock, particularly during periods of market weakness. These opportunistic buybacks at depressed valuations created enormous value for long-term shareholders.
These aren&#8217;t just random statistics – they&#8217;re the foundation of wealth-building machines that have created fortunes for patient investors who understood the compounding effect of persistent share count reduction.
So where should value-minded investors look today for the next generation of buyback champions? I&#8217;ve identified five companies with substantial repurchase programs that could deliver outsized returns regardless of broader market conditions.
Adtalem Global Education (Ticker: ATGE): Education With A Buyback Kicker Adtalem Global Education isn&#8217;t exactly a household name, but this healthcare education provider has been quietly building something special. The company operates institutions like Chamberlain University and Walden University, and business is booming.
What caught my eye was their recent financial performance: revenue up nearly 14% year-over-year to $447.7 million, with total student enrollment climbing 11.6% to over 91,000 students. Their adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.81, blowing past analyst expectations of $1.37.
But here&#8217;s the part that really matters to us value investors: Adtalem has been aggressively buying back its own shares. Their February 2022 program authorized $300 million in repurchases, which reduced outstanding shares by 23% at an average price of $39.85.
Having completed that program, they didn&#8217;t rest on their laurels. In January 2024, the board authorized another $300 million buyback program running through January 2027. As of December 31, they had already repurchased about 6.89% of shares under this new program, with $140 million still available for future buybacks.
With analysts maintaining a &#8220;Strong Buy&#8221; consensus rating and an average price target of $119.67, the company has both fundamental momentum and the buyback catalyst we look for.
TEGNA Inc. (Ticker: TGNA): Media with a Value Tilt TEGNA isn&#8217;t trying to become the next streaming giant or social media darling. This Virginia-based media company sticks to what it knows: operating 64 television stations across 51 markets, with affiliations to major networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX.
What makes TEGNA interesting right now is their aggressive capital return program. In February 2024, they announced a $650 million share repurchase program running through December 2024. This follows their June 2023 accelerated share repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank for $300 million, which initially delivered about 11.9 million shares back to the company treasury.
Throughout 2023, TEGNA committed nearly $800 million to share repurchases. That&#8217;s serious money for a company of this size, and it&#8217;s exactly the kind of aggressive buyback activity that has historically preceded significant share price appreciation.
ACRES Commercial Realty(Ticker: ACR) Small Cap with Big Buyback Plans Moving down the market cap spectrum brings us to ACRES Commercial Realty, which offers an interesting variation on our buyback theme. In December 2024, their board authorized an additional $5 million for repurchasing both common and preferred stock, on top of an earlier November 2023 program that approved up to approximately $4.1 million for common stock repurchases and an additional $10 million for both common and preferred stock.
What makes ACRES particularly interesting is that these buyback authorizations represent a significant percentage of the company&#8217;s market cap. When smaller companies implement meaningful buyback programs, the impact on per-share metrics can be dramatic, often leading to significant rerating of the shares.
Dropbox, Inc. (Ticker: DBX): Tech Value Hidden in Plain Sight Dropbox has transformed from a simple cloud storage provider into a comprehensive collaboration platform, but Wall Street hasn&#8217;t fully appreciated this evolution. The company reported solid numbers in its fiscal year 2023 second-quarter results, with revenue up 7.9% year-over-year to $572.7 million and net income of $88.5 million, up from $68.3 million in the prior year.
What really stands out is Dropbox&#8217;s aggressive capital return program. In July 2023, the board authorized a $1.2 billion share repurchase program. Then in December 2024, they announced an additional $1.2 billion stock repurchase program alongside securing a $2.0 billion term loan facility.
With a free cash flow yield of 10% and gross profit margins exceeding 82%, Dropbox has the financial firepower to sustain these buybacks while continuing to invest in growth initiatives. This combination of fundamental strength and aggressive share repurchases often leads to significant long-term outperformance.
United Parks &amp; Resorts Inc. (Ticker: PRKS): Leisure with a Buyback Twist Formerly known as SeaWorld Entertainment, United Parks &amp; Resorts rebranded in February 2024 but maintained the established identities of its SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks. The company operates a diverse portfolio of theme parks and water parks across the United States.
In March 2024, United Parks&#8217; board authorized a $500 million share repurchase program with no set expiration date. What makes this program particularly interesting is the condition preventing additional repurchases if they would result in Hill Path Capital LP&#8217;s ownership percentage reaching or exceeding 50%.
This dynamic creates an interesting corporate governance aspect to the buyback story, but the fundamental reality remains: a significant reduction in share count should drive meaningful improvements in per-share metrics over time.
The Buyback Bottom Line These five companies – Adtalem Global Education, TEGNA, ACRES Commercial Realty, Dropbox, and United Parks &amp; Resorts – represent different sectors and market capitalizations, but they share a crucial characteristic: management teams committed to returning capital to shareholders through substantial buyback programs.
History has shown that well-executed buybacks can create tremendous long-term value, particularly when companies repurchase shares at reasonable valuations. For patient investors willing to look beyond quarterly fluctuations, these buyback champions offer an interesting opportunity to potentially outperform regardless of broader market conditions.
Remember, the key factors to watch are the size of the buyback relative to market cap, the valuation at which shares are being repurchased, and the company&#8217;s ability to sustain or grow its earnings. When these elements align, the resulting performance can be nothing short of remarkable.

Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) shares are trading lower Thursday after the company's Athena lander reportedly faced technical issues during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44142027/intuitive-machines-march-6-is-a-pivotal-day-for-lunar-economy">lunar landing attempt.</a>
What To Know: The Athena lander, part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, aimed to touch down approximately 100 miles from the lunar south pole. However, telemetry indicated that the lander's engine was still running past the scheduled landing time, suggesting it was hovering above the surface. Intuitive Machines later issued a brief confirmation that Athena is on the lunar surface and receiving solar power, but the lander's exact position remains uncertain.
The Houston-based company's latest lunar mission follows a prior attempt nearly a year ago with its Odysseus lander. That mission ended with a hard touchdown due to a faulty laser altimeter, causing the lander to topple over and rendering many of its onboard experiments inoperable. This time, Athena carried 11 payloads and scientific instruments intended to gather data near the lunar south pole, a region viewed as a critical target for future lunar exploration due to the presence of subsurface water ice.
The company ended its live stream shortly after announcing the landing and plans to provide further updates at a scheduled press conference. Intuitive Machines' stock, which has more than doubled over the past year, fell over 20% in afternoon trading as investors reacted to the uncertainty surrounding the lander's condition.
LUNR Price Action: Intuitive shares were down 18.5% at $11.51 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Intuitive Machines Stock Falls After Uncertain Athena Moon Landing

The energy sector is facing heightened investor scrutiny as recent developments have added uncertainty to oil markets. 
A combination of rising U.S. crude inventories, geopolitical tensions and trade concerns has triggered volatility in oil prices, leading to mixed reactions across energy-related stocks and ETFs. With these changes in play, investors are closely watching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">oil-focused ETFs</a> to gauge their exposure and potential risks.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Watch Amid These Developments</h1>
For investors looking to navigate these shifting dynamics, several energy-focused ETFs offer exposure to key industry players:
Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>): This ETF tracks large-cap energy stocks, including major oil and gas giants like ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>). Given recent market pressures, XLE has experienced fluctuations, but it remains a popular choice for those seeking broad exposure to the sector, with an expense ratio of 0.09%.
Vanguard Energy Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VDE#NYSE">VDE</a>): Offering a more diversified portfolio, VDE covers both upstream and downstream oil and gas companies, providing investors with a balanced approach amid market uncertainty. Apart from Exxon and Chevron, the fund also allocates a significant weightage to companies like ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>). The recent volatility in the oil sector has taken most of the stocks in the ETF for a ride.
United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>): Unlike oil-focused ETFs, UNG provides investors with exposure to natural gas futures. This ETF is particularly relevant for those looking to diversify within the energy sector, as natural gas prices are influenced by different factors than crude oil, including weather patterns, production levels and storage data. Given the increasing reliance on natural gas for power generation and heating, UNG offers a distinct alternative for energy-focused investors.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Prices Plummet, Consumer Sentiment Damp</h1>
Oil prices recently hit a six-month low as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44150023/why-exxon-mobil-xom-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-low-today">U.S. crude stockpiles increased </a>by 3.6 million barrels as of March 5. This unexpected rise in supply has weighed heavily on energy stocks, including major players such as ExxonMobil. 
As one of the largest integrated oil and gas companies, Exxon is particularly vulnerable to declining crude prices, which directly impact its upstream profits. Lower prices also squeeze refining margins, making it more difficult for companies to offset losses through downstream operations. Thus, ETFs with significant allocations in Exxon, such as XLE and VDE stand to be affected by oil price slips.
Adding to the pressure, OPEC+ has confirmed its plan to roll back production cuts in April, fueling concerns about a potential supply glut. This decision has further dampened investor sentiment in the energy sector.
Moreover, the Trump administration is considering a strategy to halt and inspect Iranian oil tankers at sea, a move aimed at curbing Tehran's oil revenue and its potential links to nuclear proliferation. If implemented, these inspections could delay crude deliveries, leading to supply chain disruptions. 
Iran has previously retaliated against such measures by seizing foreign vessels, raising concerns about further escalation in maritime tensions.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42922934/oil-stocks-rally-on-anticipation-of-stricter-russian-sanctions-heres-how-etfs-are-reacting">Trade tensions have resurfaced</a> with the Trump administration imposing import tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on China. Given that Canada is the top supplier of crude oil to the U.S., these tariffs could have significant implications for energy trade. A third of all U.S. crude imports come from Mexico, further amplifying concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on the energy sector.
With oil prices experiencing turbulence, geopolitical tensions rising and trade policies shifting, energy-focused ETFs are in the spotlight. Whether investors see the current downturn as a buying opportunity or a reason to tread cautiously, it would be prudent to stay informed about market trends and ETF holdings.
