Andrenam, a startup that uses AI to analyze sonar data from undersea environments, <a href="https://www.andrenam.com/andrenam-raises-10m">said</a> Monday it raised $10 million in a seed round.&nbsp;
The seed round, which was led by First Round Capital with participation from Also Capital, Long Journey, Homebrew, the Colorado School of Mines Venture Fund, and others, closed in just 36 hours. The speed at which the venture raised the money proves just how excited tech leaders are about this new form of defensive innovation, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-alum-founded-andrenam-raises-seed-10-million-36-hours-2025-6">Business Insider</a> says.

</ul>
Andrenam was founded in 2024 by Matej Cernosek, a former SpaceX engineer, and Alex Chu, a former software engineer at real estate platform Qualia. "Our vision is to secure the oceans. We&#8217;re doing that by building a distributed sensing network — a sonar mesh,&#8221; Cernosek told Business Insider.&nbsp;
Sonar equipment has long been used to map the ocean and maritime threats, but thus far, the data processing has been done manually. "It&#8217;s been people in these shacks that have headphones on, looking at a fuzzy screen and analyzing data coming to them in mass,&#8221; Cernosek told Business Insider. "We really want to vertically integrate the solution."&nbsp;
Up to this point, Andrenam has been purchasing existing hydrophones and pairing them with its new software. However, its ultimate goal is to build its own buoys equipped with its unique technology, which will help lower costs.

To do this, the company intends to grow its current eight-person team, comprised of engineers from SpaceX, Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Anduril, and Saronic, into a 16-person unit. More manpower will allow it to develop the machine-learning-powered software more quickly.&nbsp;
Meka Asonye, a partner at First Round Capital, told Business Insider that after seeing Andrenam's pitch deck, he hopped on a flight to meet with the team that same weekend. "Oftentimes these early-stage companies are drawing things on a napkin, and they&#8217;re years and years away from being ready,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The Andrenam team is actually deploying stuff off the coast of California, and the technology already works.&#8221;

Investors like Asonye are drawn to defense tech companies like Andrenam that have potential for both private and public sector customers, Business Insider said.&nbsp;
For Cernosek, the motivation to build a defense tech company is much more personal. His family immigrated from former Czechoslovakia during communist rule, finding a better life in the U.S. "We live in the best country in the world, and this country has done very well for my family — my parents came here with $60 in their pocket,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want to build a generational company that will have a massive impact for the United States.&#8221;

In the current session, Freshpet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRPT#NASDAQ">FRPT</a>) is trading at $71.72, after a 0.28% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 15.51%, and in the past year, by 45.03%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750370464_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Freshpet P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
Freshpet has a better P/E ratio of 239.73 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.63 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that Freshpet 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/2025/1750370464_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.

For the past two years, hiring in professional and business services roles— more commonly referred to as "white collar" jobs— <a href="https://www.bls.gov/bdm/">has been slow</a>. The <a href="https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a> reports that in May, hiring in the sector declined by 0.1%.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Economists told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/13/white-collar-jobs-are-down-but-dont-blame-ai-yet-economists-say.html">CNBC</a> that the shrinkage was not because of AI, like many people assume, but because of structural issues in the economy.&nbsp;
"We know for a fact that it's not AI," Roosevelt Institute director Alí Bustamante said.&nbsp;

</ul>
Cory Stahle, an economist at Indeed, agrees. "This is more of an economic story and less of an AI disruption story, at least so far," told CNBC.&nbsp;
Experts point to the fact that the decline in job creation has been an issue for several years, and began in a time when AI technology wasn't all that effective, as the primary reason that AI isn't behind the slowdown, according to CNBC. Additionally, Stahle told CNBC that the technology is still in its early stages and can't yet execute certain tasks without human intervention.
A 2024 <a href="https://www.hiringlab.org/2024/09/25/artificial-intelligence-skills-at-work/">report</a> by Indeed found that AI is more likely to support white collar workers than to replace them. Of the 2,800 skills evaluated in the report, only 28.5% were deemed fully replaceable by generative AI, and only if the technology improved quite a bit. Meanwhile, 68.7% of the work skills were deemed "very unlikely" or "unlikely" to be replaced by generative AI, as they require too much of a human touch.

"We might get to a point where [AI replaces human workers], but right now, that's not necessarily looking like it's a big factor," Stahle told CNBC.&nbsp;
In fact, the World Economic Forum's <a href="https://reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_Report_2025.pdf">Future of Jobs Report 2025</a> forecasts that AI will create 170 million new jobs by 2030. That number amounts to 14% of total current employment, and would go a long way in offsetting the 92 million jobs that could be displaced by AI.&nbsp;
Stahle urges white collar workers whose skills may overlap with AI and who could potentially be displaced by it to learn how to use the technology to stay ahead. "Certainly, jobs are going to transform," he told CNBC. "I'm not going to downplay the potential impacts of AI."

In the current market session, Sempra Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) price is at $74.39, after a 0.42% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.07%, and in the past year, by 1.17%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750366817_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Sempra P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.16 in the Multi-Utilities industry, Sempra Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.28. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750366817_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.

Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is urging Americans to recognize the program for what it is — not a scam, but a longstanding social contract that has supported generations of retirees. And while the program continues to be a critical safety net, Grassley says it's time for serious reform to ensure it stays that way.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Grassley Says Social Security Works</h2>
Grassley emphasized in a <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/commentary/social-security-is-part-of-the-social-fabric-of-america">statement</a> last week that Social Security was never designed as a "get-rich" program or a financial scheme. Instead, it was built as a pay-as-you-go system where today's workers help fund benefits for today's retirees.

"Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme," he said. "It's a social contract administered by the government that forges a generational commitment between workers and retirees."
He pointed out that Social Security is funded through payroll taxes paid by both employees and employers. Those funds go into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45720416/6-in-10-americans-fear-social-security-will-vanish-before-they-retire-as-2033-insolvency-clock-ticks-louder">Social Security Trust Fund</a>, which then pays out benefits to current retirees. The idea, according to Grassley, is that when current workers retire, the next generation of workers will support them in turn.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Program&#8217;s Financial Future</h2>
But the system isn't without challenges. According to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/oact/trsum/">Social Security Administration's trustees</a>, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is projected to run out of reserves by 2033. If that happens and no changes are made, the system will only be able to pay about 79% of scheduled benefits.

Grassley isn't alone in sounding the alarm. Experts across the political spectrum agree that some kind of reform is needed — and soon. Proposals on the table include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44552100/i-have-no-doubt-theyre-going-to-raise-the-full-retirement-age-possibly-to-70-suze-orman-weighs-in-on-social-security-fears">raising the retirement age</a>, adjusting the payroll tax cap, or modifying the benefit formula.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Back to Move Forward</h2>
Grassley pointed to a past moment of bipartisan success as a model. In the early 1980s, then-President Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Tip O'Neill reached a deal to shore up Social Security's finances for decades. That agreement included a mix of tax increases and benefit adjustments and is widely credited with saving the program at the time.
Grassley believes another moment like that is possible. "It's intellectually dishonest to ignore or dismiss the program's looming insolvency," he said. "We can and must address the nation's demographic shift to ensure Social Security continues to serve Americans from one generation to the next."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Call to Action</h2>
The senator is calling on lawmakers, advocacy groups, and the media to come together on workable solutions. For those who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42920272/despite-a-modest-50-monthly-increase-in-2025-americans-worry-social-security-may-not-survive-past-2034">rely on Social Security</a> — and those who plan to — the stakes are high. More than 70 million Americans currently receive monthly benefits, and for many retirees, it's their main or only source of income.
Grassley's message is clear: Social Security is a shared promise that must be kept. But it will require cooperation, compromise, and political will to ensure that future generations receive the benefits they've earned — just as today's retirees do.
