What To Know: Nordstrom said it signed a definitive agreement under which Erik, Pete, Jamie, other members of the Nordstrom family and Liverpool will acquire all shares not already owned by the parties in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.25 billion on an enterprise basis. 
Under terms of the agreement, Nordstrom shareholders will receive $24.25 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 42% over the company&#8217;s share price as of March 18. Nordstrom said March 18 was the last day its stock traded unaffected by media speculation. 
The deal will also include a special dividend of up to 25 cents per share contingent on the transaction&#8217;s closing. The acquisition will result in Nordstrom becoming a private company. Following the close, the Nordstrom Family will own 50.1% of the company, with Liverpool holding 49.9%.
The Nordstrom Board has unanimously approved the proposed transaction upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent and disinterested directors that led the review and negotiation of this transaction. 
&#8220;Following a rigorous and independent evaluation and consultation with outside financial and legal advisors, the special committee unanimously concluded that this transaction offers greater value for all public shareholders at a significant premium to the unaffected share price,&#8221; said Eric Sprunk, chairman of the special committee.

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.

A Look Into Apple Inc's Price Over Earnings

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) shares are trading higher Monday. The upward momentum in the stock comes after the FDA approved the company&#8217;s Zepbound, a weight loss drug designed to treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42637278/eli-lillys-zepbound-receives-fda-approval-for-obesity-linked-sleep-apnea-drug">in adults with obesity.</a>
What To Know: After the market close on Friday, Eli Lilly announced FDA approval of Zepbound (tirzepatide) as the first prescription medicine for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and obesity.
Obstructive sleep apnea is estimated to affect 50 million to 80 million people in the U.S., with an estimated 20 million suffering from moderate-to-severe forms. Clinical trials demonstrated the drug's efficacy, with nearly half of patients on the highest dose showing significant improvement in their apnea-hypopnea index, a primary diagnostic metric.
&#8220;Today, many cases of OSA go undiagnosed and untreated, leaving millions at risk for serious health consequences,&#8221; said Patrik Jonsson, executive vice president, and president of Lilly Cardiometabolic Health and Lilly USA. &#8220;Zepbound is the first medication that significantly improves moderate-to-severe OSA and aids in long-term weight loss in adults with obesity.&#8221;
The approval is expected to impact insurance coverage for Zepbound, potentially expanding Medicare benefits for obesity-related treatments. In addition to improved obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, adults on Zepbound lost an average of 45 lbs (18%) of their body weight in Phase 3 trials.
The approval also positions Eli Lilly ahead of competitors like Novo Nordisk, whose Wegovy lacks approval for sleep apnea. The company's ongoing $3 billion investment in manufacturing capacity underscores its focus on meeting demand for its diabetes and obesity treatments.
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue of $11.44 billion in October, reflecting a 20% year-over-year increase. Zepbound accounted for approximately $1.26 billion in total revenue during the quarter.
LLY Price Action: Eli Lilly shares were up 3.11% at $791.63 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Eli Lilly Stock Is Rising Monday: What's Going On?

Check-Cap Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 386.4%

The semiconductor sector has had an electrifying run in recent years, but 2024 proved to be more selective. While some chipmakers soared to triple-digit gains, others <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chipmakers">struggled to stay afloat. </a>
As traders look forward to2025, a fresh question emerges: Should you chase the winners, pick the laggards, or focus on undervalued opportunities with high analyst backing?
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) delivered a 15.2% year-to-date gain as of Dec. 23, cooling off after a massive 65% surge in 2023. Within the group, performance varied wildly:
<ul>
<li>Top Performers: Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rose 180%, while Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) gained 109%.</li>
<li>Biggest Laggards: Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) sank 60%, Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) fell 36%, and ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) dropped 20%.</li>
</ul>
The key takeaway? The semiconductor market is far from homogenous, with companies diverging sharply based on their ability to capitalize on emerging trends like AI.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5 Chip Stocks Analysts Are Betting On for 2025</h3>

5 Semiconductor Stocks Wall Street Analysts Predict Could Soar In 2025

Video games and video game consoles have remained popular gift ideas for the Christmas holiday for many years, with the holiday helping to provide a boost to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming"> overall gaming sector.</a>
Here's a look at whether parents and loved ones would have been better off buying a video game or stock in leading video game retailer GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) last Christmas and over the last five Christmas holidays.
What Happened: GameStop is one of the most popular retail destinations for people looking for video game gifts during the holidays. The company has also had one of the most popular stocks in recent years thanks to a historic short squeeze in 2021 and the notoriety of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/01/30412695/gamestop-short-squeeze-anniversary-a-look-back-at-david-vs-goliath-battle-and-whats-next">being a meme stock.</a>
A visit to GameStop around the holidays would find many new release games carrying a $69.99 retail price.
While children likely prefer an item like a video game that carries the instant gratification of being able to play it on Christmas Day and in the subsequent days, there are other gifts that might hold their value longer.
Video games often lose value over time as new versions of sports games come out or sequels to video game franchises. The release of new consoles over time often diminishes the value of older video games as well.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-give-stock-as-a-gift">Another gift idea</a> is giving the stock of public companies, but most kids or younger relatives might not understand the value of an investment and potential gains over the years.
Here's a look at the comparison between buying a video game versus buying stock.
Read Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42425015/gamestop-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-4b-cash-no-more-offerings-planned-in-fiscal-year"> GameStop Q3 Earnings: Revenue Miss, $4B+ Cash, No More Offerings Planned In Fiscal Year</a>
 Stock Instead of Game: While many kids would have been happy with the latest video game last Christmas, it turns out they might be wishing that they got GameStop stock instead.
A new video game cost $69.99 last Christmas, while GameStop stock traded at a high of $17.20 on Dec. 22 last year, the last trading day before Christmas.
The same $69.99 used for a video game could have bought 4.07 GME shares. Based on a price of $30.80 at the time of writing, the GameStop shares would be worth $125.36 today, up 79.1%.
While the GameStop stock rose in value, chances are the $69.99 video game is now worth less than half of its original value due to being opened, used, and somewhat outdated.
Going back to past years, here's a look at how the same $69.99 invested in GameStop stock would have performed.
<ul>
<li>2019: Price on Dec. 23 $1.52, 46.05 shares with $69.99 investment, $1,418.34 today, +1,926.5%</li>
<li>2020: Price on Dec. 23 $5.59, 12.52 shares with $69.99 investment, $385.62 today, +451.0%</li>
<li>2021: Price on Dec. 23 $38.75, 1.81 shares with $69.99 investment, $55.75 today, -20.3%</li>
<li>2022: Price on Dec. 23 $20.62, 3.39 shares with $69.99 investment, $104.41 today, +34.4%</li>
</ul>
Add in the 2023 investment and over the past five Christmas shopping seasons, the investment would look like this:
<ul>
<li>$349.95 invested in GameStop instead of video games = $2,089.48 today, +497.1%</li>
</ul>
It's hard to predict if GameStop stock will trade higher in 2025 and if investing in the stock this Christmas will perform better than a video game. With a price of $30.80 today, the $69.99 investment used for stock instead of video games could buy 2.27 GME shares.
