In a world where passive investing tends to dominate the headlines, T. Rowe Price is gambling on an alternative formula: sector-focused active management, and at lower costs. 
The company debuted three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">new actively managed ETFs</a>, each focusing on a distinct portion of the equity market. The T. Rowe Price Financials ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFNS#NASDAQ">TFNS</a>), Health Care ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMED#NASDAQ">TMED</a>), and Natural Resources ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TURF#NASDAQ">TURF</a>) were listed on June 12, providing individual investors diversified, research-based access to high-impact industries.
Each fund applies T. Rowe's signature bottom-up, fundamental research approach, investing across market caps and using both value and growth strategies to pick stocks. The funds are part of a broader push by T. Rowe to expand its active ETF lineup, which now includes 16 equity and six fixed-income strategies.

Here&#8217;s a quick look under the hood:
TFNS holds 50–70 stocks spanning banks, insurers, fintechs, REITs, and exchanges — basically, if it moves money, it's fair game.
TMED is a deep dive into healthcare innovation, with 100–150 holdings in biotech, pharma, life sciences and medical devices.
TURF burrows down into global natural resource firms, with 60–80 names connected to energy, metals, mining and ag. It&#8217;s co-managed by five specialists in various commodity sub-sectors.
Each of the three ETFs incurs an expense ratio of 0.44%, striking a balance between passive cheap and hedge fund steep.

Trader Notes: ByBit partner Justin Bennett noted that after failing to hold the $106,600 level on Thursday, Bitcoin could either pull back or enter a consolidation phase on Friday. He expects a potential weekend rally into the $106,000–$107,000 range, a move he describes as "typical retail behavior." 
However, Bennett warns that BTC may revisit the $100,000 lows soon after. If Bitcoin manages a high-timeframe breakout above $107,000, this bearish scenario would be invalidated.

Michael van de Poppe <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1933583899046625713">offered</a> a more optimistic take, pointing to Bitcoin's strong daily close despite heightened volatility. He sees it as a bullish continuation signal, implying that upward momentum likely isn&#8217;t exhausted yet.
Ted Pillows <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1933562044906643910">added</a> macro context, observing that while many are panicking over a 3%–5% dip, global M2 money supply is surging to all-time highs across major economies. With liquidity expanding rapidly, Bitcoin may be poised to catch up and rally in response.
Henry aka LordOfAlts emphasized Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience, stating the market has likely entered an accumulation phase. He believes recent price action reflects healthy corrections rather than a trend reversal. "Any breakdowns could be fakeouts," he said, encouraging traders to stay patient. His next short-term target for Bitcoin is $135,000.

Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) shares are trading lower Friday afternoon after the company announced it has completed a capital raise of $850 million.
What To Know: The company says the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45918926/archer-raises-850m-following-white-house-executive-order-to-accelerate-u-s-evtol-rollout-cementing">capital raise</a> comes amid the White House&#8217;s recent executive order to establish an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. This initiative aims to accelerate the deployment of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft within the United States.
Archer plans to work closely with the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration to integrate this program with its own expansion plans. The company is the Official Air Taxi Provider for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45473737/archer-aviation-achr-stock-soars-on-la28-olympics-deal-strong-earnings">LA 28 Olympic Games</a> and Team USA.

CEO Adam Goldstein hailed the executive order as a &#8220;seminal moment,&#8221; emphasizing that Archer now possesses the strongest balance sheet in the sector. The company&#8217;s pro forma liquidity now stands at approximately $2 billion. 
This new capital, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45918926/archer-raises-850m-following-white-house-executive-order-to-accelerate-u-s-evtol-rollout-cementing">raised</a> through the sale of 85 million shares at $10.00 each, will fund general corporate purposes, the build-out of commercial infrastructure and the development of an AI-based aviation software platform. Next week, Archer says the company will showcase its &#8220;Midnight&#8221; aircraft at the Paris Air Show.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ACHR stock is trading lower by 14.8% at $9.99 Friday afternoon. The session&#8217;s volume was approximately 87 million million shares, significantly above its 100-day average of 28.52 million. Short interest in the stock stands at 14.16% of the float.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ACHR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Archer Aviation&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, ACHR has a 52-week high of $13.92 and a 52-week low of $2.82.

Sea Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Shares of Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRMB#NYSE">PRMB</a>) have been under pressure following soggy spring weather that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/beverages">dampened bottled water sales</a> across key regions, such as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
BofA Securities analyst Peter T. Galbo reiterated the Buy rating on Primo <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PRMB/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $42.</a>
Galbo notes that cooler and wetter weather in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, especially over Memorial Day weekend, hurt demand.
With summer heat arriving, Galbo sees potential for a rebound in demand—especially for regional powerhouses like Poland Spring and Deer Park—as favorable forecasts shift momentum.
The analyst also introduced a new summer weather tracker for the company, which will be updated regularly given that the second and third quarters account for roughly 53% of annual sales, and biweekly NielsenIQ scanner data offers timely insights.
Also Read:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45655641/primo-brands-coverage-initiated-analyst-sees-ebitda-gains-from-cost-cuts-bottled-water-momentum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Primo Brands Coverage Initiated: Analyst Sees EBITDA Gains From Cost Cuts, Bottled Water Momentum</a>
Since bottled water consumption closely tracks temperature and rainfall, Galbo plans to highlight key weather trends from the prior week and include National Oceanic &amp; Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA forecasts for the week ahead.
The analyst highlights that Nielsen scanner data for the week ending May 31, showed a 3.7% year-over-year decline in retail volumes for Primo Brands in May.
The drop was largely driven by an 8.4% slide in Poland Spring sales, a brand sold only in the Northeast. Record rainfall, including the third-wettest May since 1895 with 6.6 inches of precipitation (per NOAA), likely hurt demand.
Galbo predicts that Nielsen data for the week ending June 7 will show a sequential improvement in year-over-year sales trends for Poland Spring and Deer Park.
Warmer and drier-than-usual weather across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic/South should support a rebound from the prior week&#8217;s sharp declines of -18.6% and -9.3%, respectively.
Galbo notes that NOAA&#8217;s latest forecast calls for higher-than-normal temperatures across much of the U.S., particularly in the Southeast and Southwest—key regions for brands like Deer Park, Ozarka, Arrowhead, and Zephyrhills.
Heavier rainfall is expected in parts of the South and Upper Midwest. This could weigh on Ozarka and Ice Mountain sales. Meanwhile, arid conditions in the West may benefit Arrowhead.

The company recently reported that it has 4.21 million shares sold short, which is 1.73% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.14 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
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.
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.

Looking into the current session, Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRMB#NASDAQ">TRMB</a>) shares are trading at $70.76, after a 2.21% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.93%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 27.82%. 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/2025/1749841228_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Trimble P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Trimble has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 64.51 of the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749841228_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

Forecasting The Future: 9 Analyst Projections For Huntington Bancshares

BofA Securities analyst Lorraine Hutchinson reiterated the Buy rating on Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with a price forecast of $80.</a>
After the closing bell, the company will release its fourth quarter fiscal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45682813/nike-inc-announces-fourth-quarter-fiscal-2025-earnings-and-conference-call" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025 financial results on June 26.</a>
Hutchinson writes that the fourth quarter marked Nike&#8217;s &#8220;peak&#8221; of sales and margin pressure, as the company aggressively cleared excess inventory without enough new product innovation to compensate.
The analyst maintains a fourth quarter EPS estimate of 12 cents, in line with consensus, but sees the outlook for fiscal 2026 as the more critical focus of the upcoming earnings call.

Following recent discussions with CEO Elliott Hill, the analyst highlights growing retailer enthusiasm for Nike&#8217;s Spring &#8217;26 innovation pipeline.
The wholesale landscape remains fluid and not all partners are thriving. But Hutchinson stresses that Nike is positioned to navigate these challenges.
The company can deepen newer retail relationships and reclaim shelf space as competitors scale back their presence, she says.
Nike is expected to outline both the mitigated and unmitigated impact of current tariffs. However, it&#8217;s uncertain what level of forward guidance the company will offer beyond the first quarter.
Hutchinson notes that Nike&#8217;s move to quarterly guidance highlights ongoing visibility challenges. With a new fiscal year starting, he writes that management must clarify when aged inventory will be cleared in wholesale and DTC, and when a sales rebound is likely.
The analyst maintains the Buy rating, seeing the potential for sales to rebound in the first half of fiscal 2026 as inventory normalizes and product innovation gains traction.
Hutchinson further writes that Nike is well-equipped to manage the current tariff environment, thanks to its strong negotiating leverage with both vendors and retailers, as well as its pricing power.
The analyst points out that Nike has already implemented targeted price hikes, including $5–$10 increases on footwear priced over $100 and some modest increases across adult apparel and equipment.
Hutchinson adds that Nike&#8217;s decision to leave kids&#8217; products and footwear under $100 untouched was a smart move, positioning the brand to maintain accessibility.
The analyst sees Nike&#8217;s broad pricing structure and scale as advantages if consumer spending begins to tighten.
This apart, Hutchinson sees early signs of stabilization in Nike&#8217;s wholesale business, noting that Fall &#8217;25 order books outside China are only modestly lower, with weakness in classic footwear being nearly offset by strength in performance categories.
Hutchinson has lowered his FY26 EPS estimate to $1.80 from $2.00 due to foreign exchange adjustments and reduced expectations for China, while keeping his FY27 estimate steady at $3.00.
Price Action: NKE shares are trading lower by 1.50% to $61.86 at last check Friday.
