A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Pinnacle Finl Partners Through 6 Analysts

In the current session, the stock is trading at $128.09, after a 11.75% spike. Over the past month, Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>) stock increased by 0.13%, and in the past year, by 95.29%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744236018_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Howmet Aerospace 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 120.66 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Howmet Aerospace Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 40.79. 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/2025/1744236018_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.

Beyond The Numbers: 5 Analysts Discuss Columbia Banking System Stock

General

Enact Holdings To Replace SolarWinds Corp. In The S&P SmallCap 600, Effective April 16,2025

United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) shares are getting crushed in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after President Donald Trump suggested he doesn&#8217;t want to see the company get <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44679320/us-steel-gains-16-as-trump-orders-review-of-nippon-steels-blocked-acquisition-amid-national-security-concerns">acquired by Nippon Steel</a>.
What Happened: In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr9AeMFXzpY">press conference</a> from the Oval Office late Wednesday, Trump said he wants U.S. Steel to remain a U.S. company. 
&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to see it go to Japan. You know, we love Japan, but U.S. Steel is a very special company,&#8221; Trump said. 
The news comes just a day after U.S. Steel shares surged after Trump ordered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44679320/us-steel-gains-16-as-trump-orders-review-of-nippon-steels-blocked-acquisition-amid-national-security-concerns">national security review</a> of the company&#8217;s takeover deal with Nippon Steel, which was blocked by the Biden Administration. 
U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel filed lawsuits in January in response to what the companies said was &#8220;wrongful interference&#8221; with Nippon's proposed $14.9-billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, originally announced at the end of 2023.
The Biden administration said last year that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39613777/amid-opposition-from-biden-and-workers-nippon-steel-vc-returns-to-discuss-us-steel-acquisition" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">it was &#8220;vital&#8221;</a>&nbsp;that U.S. Steel remained a domestically operated American steel company. The proposed acquisition had become a major topic of discussion leading up to the&nbsp;presidential election in November.
X Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/X">U.S. Steel shares</a> were down 11.39% after-hours, trading at $39.98 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

US Steel Stock Tumbles As Trump Says 'We Don't Want To See It Go To Japan'

KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) has secured a deal to acquire Swedish consumer health firm Karo Healthcare<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43907861/kkr-to-gain-full-control-of-hcg-in-400-million-deal-eyes-healthcare-expansion" rel="noreferrer noopener">.</a>
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory conditions and approvals and is expected to close in the coming months, per a <a target="_blank" href="https://eqtgroup.com/news/eqt-to-sell-karo-healthcare-a-leading-pan-european-consumer-health-platform-to-kkr-2025-04-09" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>.&nbsp;
"We engaged the full capabilities of our firm to deliver this transaction during a period of market disruption and we look forward to supporting Karo's growth as a value-enhancing strategic partner," said Hans Arstad, Managing Director at KKR.
The transaction, expected to be valued at approximately 2.65 billion euros ($2.924 billion) including debt, would see KKR beat out rival bidder PAI Partners to secure the company behind popular over-the-counter brands like E45 and Lamisil, Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/59680d34-adb9-473a-8c95-9f89ac9e1555" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Karo Healthcare, headquartered in Stockholm, has expanded significantly under the ownership of EQT, which took the firm private in 2022 at a valuation of 1.4 billion euros.
EQT initially took a majority stake in Karo back in 2019 when the business was still listed, Financial Times adds.
The acquisition underscores KKR's confidence in healthcare-focused investments even as overall merger activity has slowed due to uncertain interest rate policy and fluctuating debt markets.
The buyout is poised to provide a strong return for EQT, following a series of brand acquisitions Karo made in recent years.
Under EQT's stewardship, Karo spent £200 million in 2021 to acquire the E45 skincare line from Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBGLY#OTC">RBGLY</a>), and in 2023 it purchased Lamisil from Haleon Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLN#NYSE">HLN</a>) for £235 million. The company currently markets over 100 products across 90 countries, with a portfolio that includes Nutravita, Alpha Foods, and Remescar. Karo employs about 400 people globally.
This deal would further KKR's extensive footprint in the European healthcare sector.

KKR Outbids Competitors To Secure $2.9 Billion Karo Healthcare Takeover

Bank shares such as Ameris Bancorp inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABCB#NYSE">ABCB</a>) and BancFirst Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BANF#NASDAQ">BANF</a>) are trading higher on Wednesday in response to a surprise announcement from President Donald Trump to temporarily pause certain tariffs.
What To Know: The broad-based rally followed Trump's declaration of a 90-day suspension on reciprocal tariffs for countries that have not retaliated against U.S. trade measures. While the pause excludes China — which will now face a 125% tariff on its goods — the shift in policy has eased immediate trade tensions and helped stabilize market sentiment.
A pause in trade escalation reduces uncertainty, which can support business lending, consumer confidence and overall economic activity — all key drivers for banks.
Trump's move was said to be a reward for countries that refrained from retaliating, offering them a temporary 10% tariff and delaying further duties. In contrast, China was singled out as a bad actor, with the president criticizing its trade practices and warning that the U.S. will no longer tolerate the current imbalance.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the tariff shift as a correction to decades of trade inequities and suggested that the market had previously misunderstood the scope of Trump&#8217;s policy. He called the 10% reciprocal tariff a "temporary floor" that adds clarity and leverage to U.S. trade strategy.
Price Action: Ameris shares closed Wednesday up 8.31% to $54.90 and Bancfirst shares were up 6.08% to $108.29, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Bank Shares Are Up Today: What You Need To Know

U.S.&nbsp;President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, disclosed plans for a "major tariff" on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">foreign pharmaceuticals</a>.
"We're&nbsp;going to be announcing very&nbsp;shortly a major tariff on&nbsp;pharmaceuticals… when they hear that&nbsp;they will leave China, they&nbsp;will leave other places because… most of their product&nbsp;is sold here," Trump expressed at&nbsp;a National Republican <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708204/trump-hints-at-major-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-us-pharma-stocks-tumble-in-wednesday-pre-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">Congressional Committee&nbsp;dinner</a>.
He also told reporters on board his Air Force One plane that "pharma" tariffs would arrive "at a level that you haven't really seen before," saying these would be announced "in the near future," BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedyylj1v32o" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> added.

When President Trump announced tariffs last week, he excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry under pressure following his prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44652075/us-tariffs-spare-drugmakers-but-threaten-diabetes-device-industry" rel="noreferrer noopener">on pharmaceutical imports</a>.&nbsp;
On Wednesday, in a surprise announcement from President Donald Trump, a 90-day pause on tariffs for countries that have not retaliated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">against U.S. trade measures.</a>
The news ignited a broad risk-on rally, catapulting major indices to multi-month highs and sending volatility plunging.
Trump's latest Truth Social post slammed China for showing "a lack of respect" and declared an immediate 125% tariff hike on Chinese goods.
"At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A. and other Countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable," he said.
He praised the over 75 countries that, in his words, "have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form."
As a reward, those countries would benefit from a temporary 10% reciprocal tariff and a 90-day pause on additional duties.
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump's first term.
Although Trump didn't provide many details, his remarks have unsettled buyers, especially those who depend on medicines from India. India provides nearly half of all generic drugs used in the U.S., helping cut billions from healthcare costs.
The U.S. is a major market, buying about a third of India's $13 billion in yearly drug exports.
Indian drug companies warn that if tariffs are added, they'd have to raise prices—which could increase healthcare costs in the U.S.
Even though some companies like Cipla and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDY#NYSE">RDY</a>) have factories in the U.S., most say it's too expensive to move production for low-profit generic drugs.
BofA Securities analyst says if the Trump administration plans to impose tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry, it would likely do so through a "Section 232 investigation" under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to determine whether importing certain goods threatens national security.
The typical timeline for a Section 232 investigation is about a year. If the same timeline applied here, tariffs on drug imports likely wouldn't take effect until late in the year—at the earliest.
It's unclear whether the Section 232 investigation into the drug industry is about to start, but based on recent comments from the administration, it seems possible. However, launching an investigation doesn't guarantee that tariffs will follow.
As the first quarter 2025 earnings season starts soon, analyst Tim Anderson says it will be worth watching whether companies discuss potential tariffs during earnings calls.
That said, any actual earnings impact likely wouldn't show up until sometime after 2025, which could leave investors with more questions than answers.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44698325/trump-tariff-strategy-self-inflicted-market-debacle-says-wedbush-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Tuesday wrote</a> that "saying we can just make this in the USA" understates how complex the supply chain in Asia really is—and how electronics, chips, semiconductors, hardware, and smartphones have been built for U.S. consumers over the past 30 years."

Pharma Industry Faces Jitters As Trump Hints At Historic Tariffs, BofA Outlines Probable Timeline

Machinery shares such as Arcosa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACA#NYSE">ACA</a>) and Valmont Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMI#NYSE">VMI</a>) are trading higher Wednesday on news that President Donald Trump would pause tariffs for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty"> most U.S. trading partners. </a>
What To Know: The gains followed a surprise announcement from Trump of a 90-day suspension on reciprocal tariffs for all countries that have not retaliated against previous U.S. trade measures. The move excludes China, which instead will face a sharp increase in tariffs.
Trump&#8217;s decision to reward non-retaliatory nations with a temporary 10% tariff and delay further duties appears to have eased investor fears around escalating trade tensions.
In contrast, Trump sharply criticized China in a Truth Social post, accusing it of exploiting the U.S. and pledging a new 125% tariff on Chinese imports. He stated that over 75 countries had refrained from retaliating and would benefit from the pause.
At a White House press conference, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that the changes reflect an attempt to address long-standing global trade imbalances. He noted that markets previously misunderstood the scale of Trump&#8217;s trade measures and described the 10% reciprocal tariff as a temporary floor that adds clarity going forward.
Bessent also accused Beijing of exacerbating the trade deficit and portraying itself as an uncooperative actor in global trade. He suggested that the new policy would give the U.S. greater leverage to force changes in its trade relationship with China.
Price Action: Arcosa shares closed Wednesday up 10.67% to $78.20 and Valmont Industries shares are up 7.65% to $284.96, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2'">Benzinga Pro.</a> Read Next: • <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">Wall Street Roars As Trump Pauses Tariffs For Non-Retaliator, Hikes China Duties To 125%</a>

Machinery Stocks Are Up Today: What's Going On?

Energy Transfer's Subsidiary Energy Transfer LNG Export Enters Into A Heads Of Agreement With MidOcean Energy To Jointly Develop Lake Charles LNG Export Facility.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares soared in afternoon trading Wednesday alongside the broader market after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. Trump Media shares have carried that momentum into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DJT">after-hours session</a>.
What To Know: Stocks staged a massive rally on Wednesday after Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114309144289505174">post</a> on Truth Social.&nbsp;
&#8220;Based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States &#8230; to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE,&#8221; Trump said in the post. 
The tariff pause will be effective immediately for non-retaliating countries, while China will face a harsh 125% tariff. The announcement came hours after Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal tariffs took effect.
Trump Media, which is the parent company of Truth Social, was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44608924/trump-media-technology-stock-drops-on-share-registration-will-president-trump-sell-his-stake" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-founded by Trump</a>, who maintains more than a 50% stake in the company. 
The price action in Trump Media shares has been detached from the company's fundamentals for some time. During Trump&#8217;s 2024 presidential campaign, the stock moved up and down alongside&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s chances of reelection. Now the stock appears to be moving alongside Trump&#8217;s approval ratings. 
Trump&#8217;s approval ratings have fallen in recent months related to tariff uncertainty. Trump had approximately 47% approval when he took office in January, but Reuters reported his approval ratings had fallen to 43% as of last week.
It&#8217;s worth noting that Trump said in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning shortly after the market opened that &#8220;this is a great time to buy.&#8221; He included the ticker symbol for Trump Media in the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114308272725981913">post</a>. 
DJT Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/djt">Trump Media shares</a> closed Wednesday up 21.67% at $20.27. The stock was up another 5.82% after hours, trading at $21.45 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Media Stock Soars Hours After President Says It's A 'Great Time To Buy': What You Need To Know

Oil and gas stocks such as APA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>), BP PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Exxon Mobil Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) are trading higher Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries that have not retaliated against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">U.S. trade measures. </a>
What To Know: The move triggered a broad rally across energy names, driven by expectations that easing trade tensions would boost global demand and reduce export-related risks for U.S. producers. Several oil companies that have significant exposure to global oil markets have been under pressure due to fears of disrupted supply chains and reduced overseas demand. Trump&#8217;s decision to isolate China while granting tariff relief to U.S. allies shifted sentiment sharply.
The tariff pause was seen as a positive for crude demand outlook, as reduced trade friction could support broader economic activity. Energy stocks, which had lagged the broader market in recent weeks, responded to the shift in policy with a surge in buying volume, reversing recent weakness.
The focus now turns to how China will respond to the sharp 125% hike on its exports and whether energy markets will see any retaliatory impact. For now, the policy pivot has restored confidence across the oil and gas space.
Price Action: APA Corporation shares closed Wednesday up 19.10% to $16.71, Exxon Mobil shares rose 4.99% to $105.80 and BP advanced 6.81% to $27.90, according to Benzinga Pro.
