Shares of electrical equipment companies are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $185.08, after a 5.90% increase. Over the past month, Powell Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>) stock increased by 6.79%, and in the past year, by 16.34%. 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/2025/1747062033_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Powell Industries P/E in Comparison to 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. 
Powell Industries has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 42.63 of the Electrical Equipment 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/2025/1747062033_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.

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said no to Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASC#NYSE">ASC</a>). &#8220;I don't like the situation because a lot of what is carried is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASC/earnings">tariffed,&#8221; he added</a>.
On Feb. 19, Ardmore Shipping posted better-than-expected earnings and sales results for its fourth quarter.

Cramer said Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>) is doing better than expected. &#8220;I think you have a winner.&#8221;
Guggenheim analyst John Heinbockel supported his view on Tuesday, maintaining Planet Fitness as a Buy and raising the price target from $105 to $110.
When asked about Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>), he said, &#8220;If you're willing to hold on for the next cycle, it's fine. But I've got to tell you, it's considered to be a data center play, and people think that data centers are slowing down, and that's the case with Powell Industries too.&#8221;
On the earnings front, Powell Industries reported quarterly earnings of $2.86 per share on Feb. 6, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.61 per share. The company also reported quarterly sales of $241.43 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $232.62 million.
