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.

 </style>Through an analysis of Apple, we can infer the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
The Price to Earnings ratio of 33.89 is 0.92x lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 48.04 relative to the industry average by 9.15x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 8.25, which is 4.94x 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 58.74%, which is 52.2% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
With higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $45.91 Billion, which is 117.72x above the industry average, the company demonstrates stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $58.27 Billion is 73.76x above that of its industry, highlighting stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
With a revenue growth of 3.95%, which is much lower than the industry average of 23.1%, the company is experiencing a notable slowdown in sales expansion.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742223646_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.
By analyzing Apple in relation to its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights can be derived:
<ul>
<li>
In terms of the debt-to-equity ratio, Apple is positioned in the middle among its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This suggests a relatively balanced financial structure, where the company maintains a moderate level of debt while also utilizing equity financing with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.45.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Apple in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry, the PE, PB, and PS ratios indicate that the stock is relatively undervalued compared to its peers. However, the high ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and low revenue growth suggest that Apple is efficiently utilizing its resources and generating strong profits, despite slower revenue growth. Overall, Apple's financial performance is solid, with room for potential growth in the future.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742223637_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a financial metric that helps determine the level of financial risk associated with a company's capital structure.
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 Amazon.com alongside its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights arise:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Amazon.com has a stronger financial position with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.46.
</li>
<li>
This indicates that the company relies less on debt financing and maintains a more favorable balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Amazon.com, the PE ratio is low compared to its peers in the Broadline Retail industry, indicating potential undervaluation. The high PB and PS ratios suggest that the market values Amazon.com's assets and sales highly. Amazon.com's high ROE, EBITDA, and gross profit reflect strong profitability and operational efficiency.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</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.

 </style>By conducting an in-depth analysis of NVIDIA, we can identify the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
At 41.38, the stock's Price to Earnings ratio is 0.3x less than the industry average, suggesting favorable growth potential.
</li>
<li>
It could be trading at a premium in relation to its book value, as indicated by its Price to Book ratio of 37.42 which exceeds the industry average by 6.25x.
</li>
<li>
With a relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 23.13, which is 2.47x the industry average, the stock might be considered overvalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 30.42% that is 23.91% above the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $25.82 Billion is 0.76x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has lower gross profit of $28.72 Billion, which indicates 0.97x below the industry average, potentially indicating lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 77.94% exceeds the industry average of 14.97%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742223613_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.
By analyzing NVIDIA in relation to its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights can be derived:
<ul>
<li>
In terms of the debt-to-equity ratio, NVIDIA 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 0.13.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value and sales. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and high revenue growth suggest that NVIDIA is performing well in terms of profitability and growth compared to its industry counterparts.

Shares of Barrick Gold Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) are slightly higher Monday. They are at resistance and may be about to break through it. This could lead to the shares moving higher and a new uptrend forming.
The chart of Barrick has the attention of many technical analysts because there is well-defined support and resistance. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
<a href="http://Gold Breaches $3,000 Mark On Market Turbulence And Fed Signals">Gold is trading near all-time highs</a> and Barrick has followed it.  Some analysts say the move higher is a classic ‘flight to safety.' The tech sector has been beaten down and much of the money that came out of it went into the gold market.
You can see on the chart that Barrick is trading close to the resistance around $19.00. This level has been important for the stock. It has been both resistance and support.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="550" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104845/1-1-1-1024x550.png" alt="" class="wp-image-827533" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104845/1-1-1-1024x550.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104845/1-1-1-300x161.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104845/1-1-1-768x412.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104845/1-1-1.png 1516w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Resistance is defined as a price level or zone where there is a significant amount of sell interest. When a rally reaches a resistance level it pauses or ends. This is because there are enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders.
Investors and traders looking to buy can acquire all the shares they wish to without pushing the price up.

If the resistance ‘breaks,' meaning the stock moves above it, it can be a bullish dynamic. This means the people who created the resistance with their sell orders are out of the way. They have either finished or canceled.
The buyers may be forced to pay premiums and outbid each other. This could result in a snowball effect that can create a new uptrend.
There is resistance around the $19.00 level due to remorseful buyers. These are people who purchased shares around $19.00 while the shares were support.
When the price dropped below this, many of them decided they made a mistake. Some vowed to eventually get out at breakeven if possible. So, when the stock returned to $19.00 they placed sell orders.
The large concentration of these orders has formed resistance. But if the price of gold keeps moving higher, Barrick should break this resistance and move higher as well.
If gold keeps trending higher Barrick will probably break through.

Stock Of The Day – Will The Move Higher In Gold Make Barrick Break Out?

Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) will report fiscal third-quarter results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/apparel">on Thursday, March 20</a>.
Analysts already incorporated company challenges in the guidance. The results are likely to be broadly in line with expectations, according to Telsey Advisory Group.
The Nike Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f9ab74825a7ef0001015b59/cristina-fernandez">Analyst Cristina Fernández</a> reaffirmed a Market Perform rating and price target of $80.
The Nike Thesis: Given lower demand for its products, a reduction in units of three key lifestyle franchises, and higher promotions to clear inventory, the company is likely to report a 12% decline in sales versus consensus of 11.3%, Fernández said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Gross margins are likely to have contracted to 41.5%, versus consensus of 41.8%, she added.
The analyst mentioned the key areas to watch during the earnings call:
<ul>
<li>Progress on inventory reduction</li>
<li>Impact of the shift in clearance activity from ecommerce to factory stores</li>
<li>Magnitude of further reductions in lifestyle franchise units</li>
<li>Pace of product innovation and potential for new products</li>
<li>Retro products making a comeback to offset declines in other parts of the business</li>
<li>The recently announced launch of the NikeSKIMS brand to broaden the reach for Nike in women's apparel</li>
</ul>
While Nike will announce the initial guidance for fiscal 2026, it had indicated that reductions in lifestyle franchise units, a mix shift toward lower margin products, and steps to improve relationships with wholesale partners will have adverse impacts on both sales and profitability in fiscal 2026, she stated.
"We don't expect a significant direct impact to Nike from tariffs given the majority of Nike products manufactured in China (15% of total) serve the Chinese market, with only a small portion of those imported into the US (both adidas and Under Armour have noted that only 3%-4% of the products made in China are sold in the US)," Fernández further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Nike had risen by 2.09% to $73.12 at the time of publication on Monday.
