Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has criticized the proposed $1.1 billion cut to public broadcasting, warning of a slide towards authoritarianism in the United States.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Sanders took to X to express his concerns over the proposed budget cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This comes after President Donald Trump labeled the Public Broadcast Service as &#8220;radical, woke propaganda&#8221; and Republicans expressed their intent to slash the CPB&#8217;s budget, according to the senator.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45766300/trump-sends-congress-9-4-billion-doge-cut-proposal-targeting-npr-pbs-lgbtq-initiatives-and-overseas-cl">officially submitted</a> a $9.4 billion budget rescission request to Congress, targeting foreign aid and public broadcasting. This is the first official rollback of funds under the Department of Government Efficiency.
In May, Trump signed an executive order <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45181825/trump-calls-npr-and-pbs-biased-and-partisan-signs-executive-order-to-stop-funding">halting federal funding</a> for National Public Radio and PBS. The order cited the news published by both outlets as &#8220;biased&#8221; and &#8220;partisan&#8221;.
Trump&#8217;s repeated calls to defund public media have put organizations like NPR and PBS on the edge. He has long criticized these outlets, accusing them of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42714268/trumps-threat-to-defund-public-media-puts-npr-and-pbs-on-edge">promoting liberal bias</a>, and has vowed to cut all federal funding for the CPB, which supports public media.

Bernie Sanders Says In The US, Presidents 'Don't Censor The Media,' Slams Trump Administration's Move To Cut $1.1 Billion From PBS: 'Another Step Toward Authoritarianism'

Stanford-educated roboticist Samir Menon never set out to replace human workers with machines. He wants to &#8216;supercharge&#8217; them, and now his billion-dollar startup, Dexterity, is betting that vision could shape the future of global labor.
Founded in 2017, Dexterity builds what it calls "superhumanoids," industrial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45185633/ups-explores-humanoid-robots-as-figure-ai-secures-675m-from-jeff-bezos-openai-and-intel-targeting-9b-revenue-by-2029">robots</a> designed to work in extreme conditions like high heat or altitude, where human labor often falls short. The company is currently valued at $1.65 billion and has entered unicorn territory with backing from major players like FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries,<a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/unicorn-startup-that-makes-superhuman-robots-plots-path-to-ipo-2a84abbe"> The Wall Street Journal</a> reports.

</ul>
Rather than designing robots to mimic human shape and behavior, Menon's team focuses on utility, building machines that can lift heavier, last longer, and handle riskier tasks than any person safely could. "You can try to do <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45961532/nvidia-and-samsung-back-4-5b-robotics-startup-skild-ai-with-35m-as-softbank-and-jeff-bezos-drive-push-into-consumer-robots">robotics</a> in a way that you're replacing people, or you can try to do it in a way that you're supercharging people," Menon told The Journal at the ATxSummit in May in Singapore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inspired by "Transformers," Built for Supermarkets</h2>
Dexterity's flagship robot is called the Mech, a mobile, two-armed machine inspired in part by "Transformers" and "Pacific Rim". According to the Journal, Mech is designed to perform physically demanding work that's too dangerous or repetitive for human workers, such as lifting heavy parcels or operating in logistics hubs.
With partners like FedEx and Sumitomo Corp. already signed on, Menon sees supermarkets and airports as likely next steps, noting to the Journal that these are examples of where robots could become commonplace.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Market forecasts support Menon's optimism. According to<a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/insights/articles/humanoid-robot-market-5-trillion-by-2050"> Morgan Stanley</a>, the humanoid robotics industry could be worth $5 trillion by 2050, with more than 1 billion robots deployed across commercial and industrial environments.
"Adoption should be relatively slow until the mid-2030s, accelerating in the late 2030s and 2040s," Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's head of global autos and shared mobility research, said in a note. "The forecast for household usage is much more conservative, with only 80 million humanoids in homes by 2050. We are not going to see a robot in every home overnight."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPO in Sight as Labor Shortages Push Demand for Industrial Robots</h2>
Dexterity is in active fundraising mode and plans to go public in the U.S. once it achieves stable revenue and scalability, according to Menon. The Journal says he's prioritizing growth for now, with profitability still a few years away.

In countries like the U.S., Japan, and much of Europe, shrinking workforces and aging populations are accelerating the demand for non-disruptive automation solutions.
For Menon, the key lies in designing machines that solve labor problems without sparking panic. "A lot of people don't really want to do extremely low-paying, very stressful tasks," he told the Journal, emphasizing that many of these roles can be augmented rather than erased.
As Dexterity scales, Menon says it's developing industrial robots aimed at amplifying human labor in high-stress or physically extreme environments, The Journal reports.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Reinsurance Gr Stock In The Last 5 Years

The risk of unauthorized data collection and privacy breaches has surged as generative AI and large language models (LLMs) become embedded in everyday tools and services. Here's a look at some of the least invasive AI platforms, as well as the most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187301/elon-musks-xai-secures-10-billion-in-debt-and-equity-amid-soaring-burn-rate-as-ai-arms-race-intensifies">aggressive data collectors.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: According to a recent<a href="https://blog.incogni.com/ai-llm-privacy-ranking-2025/"> report </a>from Incogni, Mistral AI's Le Chat emerged as the least invasive AI platform in terms of data privacy, limiting data collection and performing well across most criteria.&nbsp;

ChatGPT (OpenAI) ranked second, followed by Grok (xAI) with both generative AI platforms offering relatively clear privacy policies and the ability for users to opt out of having their data used in model training.
At the other end of the spectrum, Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Meta AI, Alphabet, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Gemini and Copilot from Microsoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) were found to be the most aggressive in data collection and least transparent about their practices. 
DeepSeek also performed poorly, particularly regarding opt-out options and policy clarity.
Anthropic and Meta also disclose sharing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46197734/metas-superintelligence-lab-wants-to-outthink-the-world-and-scale-ai-dna-is-all-over-it">research collaborators</a>, which could raise concerns about data control once prompts leave the platform. 
Mobile app data collection practices were also scrutinized. Le Chat, Pi AI and ChatGPT had the lowest privacy risk on mobile. Meta AI's mobile app was the most aggressive and collected usernames, emails and phone numbers.&nbsp;
Gemini and Meta AI collect exact user locations, and Pi AI, Gemini, and DeepSeek collect phone numbers. Grok shares photos and app interaction data, while Anthropic's Claude shares app usage and email addresses.
User Beware: Overall, privacy risks vary widely between generative AI platforms.&nbsp;
The best performers offered clear <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46301582/metas-ai-empire-grows-fueled-by-openai-deepmind-apple-defectors">privacy policies</a>, opt-out controls and minimal data collection, while the worst offenders lacked transparency and shared user data broadly without clear justification.
Users should research generative AI platform privacy policies and understand and use privacy controls in order to limit security risks and maintain control of personal data.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Has Driven Meta&#8217;s Rally?</h2>
Meta aims to unlock value by strategically investing in AI and its core products. The company focuses on boosting user engagement, upgrading its advertising tools, and launching new AI-driven features.
Meta <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43072303/mark-zuckerberg-stands-to-gain-from-tiktoks-us-ban-analysis-shows-meta-could-reap-billions-in-ad-revenue" rel="noreferrer noopener">also stands to</a> gain billions of dollars from a potential TikTok ban as it erases a direct competitor to the social media platform.
Meta is expanding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/44031320/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-wants-to-do-an-ai-app-but-sam-altman-wants-to-pull-a-reverse-uno-card-maybe-well-do-a-social-app" rel="noreferrer noopener">its AI efforts</a> by making Meta AI available across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, where it already reaches around 700 million users.
The company also plans to test a paid subscription model similar to ChatGPT&#8217;s premium tier. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Meta is focused on scaling a smart, personalized AI assistant to over 1 billion people this year, positioning Meta AI as a market leader.
To support these efforts, Meta is ramping up capital spending on AI infrastructure, including data centers, and expanding its AI workforce.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta&#8217;s Latest Quarterly Results</h2>
On April 30, Meta reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45117948/meta-q1-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-up-16-ai-approaches-1-billion-monthly-actives-capital-expenditures-forecast-raised" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter revenue</a> of $42.31 billion, up 16% on a year-over-year basis, beating&nbsp;analyst estimates of $41.39 billion.&nbsp;
Family daily active people climbed 6% to 3.43 billion. Ad impressions jumped 5%, and the average price per ad increased by 10%.
Operating margins totaled 41%, up from 38% in the prior year&#8217;s quarter.&nbsp;
Meta expects second-quarter revenue of $42.5 billion-$45.5 billion versus&nbsp;estimates of $44.06 billion.
The company anticipates full-year capital expenditures of $64 billion to $72 billion (up from prior guidance of $60 to $65 billion), which reflects additional data center investments to support its artificial intelligence efforts and an increase in the expected cost of infrastructure hardware.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Is Meta Accomplishing Its Ambitions?</h2>
On January 14, Meta announced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">performance-based job cuts</a> that could impact about 5% of its 72,000 workers. The company cited its plans to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster.
Meta is actively recruiting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46301582/metas-ai-empire-grows-fueled-by-openai-deepmind-apple-defectors" rel="noreferrer noopener">top AI talent</a> from rivals like OpenAI, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to accelerate its artificial general intelligence (AGI) push through its Superintelligence Labs (MSL), launched in June 2025.
Under CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s leadership, Meta has consolidated its Llama models and FAIR research into MSL, aiming to build &#8220;personal superintelligence&#8221; for its platforms.
Meta has hired seven researchers from OpenAI to power this vision, including experts in large language models and reinforcement learning, machine learning veteran Jack Rae, and image generation specialist Huiwen Chang from Google DeepMind.
Apple&#8217;s former Foundation Models lead, Ruoming Pang—behind projects like Genmoji and Siri upgrades—joined MSL with a reported multimillion-dollar offer. Meta added Claude developer Anton Bakhtin and inference specialist Joel Pobar from Anthropic.
Led by Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman and supported by a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, MSL is rapidly assembling a high-caliber AI team.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta&#8217;s Inorganic Growth Strategy</h2>
Meta is in talks to acquire <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46141985/metas-play-for-voice-ai-could-shake-up-the-competition" rel="noreferrer noopener">voice-cloning AI startup</a> PlayAI along with some of its employees, according to Bloomberg sources.
While financial details remain undisclosed, the move reflects Meta&#8217;s push to develop a &#8220;superintelligence&#8221; lab and strengthen its position amid rising competition in the AI voice assistant market.
Meta is also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45880561/meta-on-the-verge-of-a-15-billion-deal-with-scale-ai-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">reportedly planning a</a> $15 billion investment in data-labeling startup Scale AI for a 49% stake and aims to bring its co-founder, Alexandr Wang, along with key researchers, on board. This move aligns with Meta&#8217;s strategy to build a &#8220;superintelligence&#8221; lab.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does Wall Street Think About Meta</h2>
Forty-three analysts have set a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast</a> of $734.93 for Meta. Tigress Financial issued the highest forecast, $935, on February 11, 2025, while Scotiabank gave the lowest, $525, on April 21, 2025.
Recent ratings from TD Cowen, Roth Capital, and Wells Fargo average $774.33, suggesting a potential 5.33% upside for the stock based on their projections.
Following its first-quarter results, Guggenheim analyst Michael Morris named Meta the best-positioned <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45144725/meta-analysts-highlight" rel="noreferrer noopener">digital advertising company</a>. JPMorgan&#8217;s Doug Anmuth reaffirmed Meta as a &#8220;top pick,&#8221; citing growing momentum behind its AI models, Andromeda and GEM.
Several Wall Street analysts agreed that Meta is well equipped to perform in a weaker macroeconomic climate and praised its capital spending as a solid foundation for future growth.
However, Needham analyst Laura Martin raised concerns about Meta&#8217;s long-term value, pointing out that the company doesn&#8217;t control its distribution channels or content and faces intense competition from Apple, TikTok, and YouTube.
TD Cowen&#8217;s John Blackledge flagged risks including declining engagement among younger users, regulatory and legal challenges, increasing competition, and the high costs of Reality Labs.
On March 18, Wolfe Research highlighted Meta&#8217;s WhatsApp business messaging, unlocking a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44374847/meta-could-rake-in-30-40-billion-in-revenue-from-whatsapp-business-messaging-predicts-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">total addressable market of $30–$40 billion</a> (TAM).
Analysts expect Meta&#8217;s integration of AI agents for small business customer service to boost WhatsApp revenue significantly.
With WhatsApp currently contributing just $1.5–$2 billion, Wolfe noted
On July 3, Needham&#8217;s Laura Martin flagged Meta&#8217;s soaring capex—expected to rise 84% to $68 billion in 2025—<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/upgrades/25/07/46245952/metas-growth-sizzles-but-wait-for-a-pullback-before-buying-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">as a concern</a> for future returns.
She questioned Meta&#8217;s capital allocation amid heavy spending on GenAI, metaverse, Scale AI, and hardware ventures. Martin also cited regulatory risks and high investor expectations, cautioning that Meta may be overvalued at current levels.
Price Action: META stock closed up by 1.68% to $732.78 on Wednesday.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Watts Water Technologies 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg almost ended up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42833727/dana-white-wanted-elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-in-cage-fight-now-hes-on-metas-board-of-directors">in a cage fight </a>over their competing social media platforms. Musk may not want to look at the latest metrics from X rival Threads, or he could be proposing a cage match again.
What Happened: Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) launched Threads in 2023 and was viewed as a potential X killer and a new social media platform to lure users from Musk's platform. Threads has grown to more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45140138/mark-zuckerberg-celebrates-threads-milestone-x-competitor-next-major-social-app">350 million registered users</a> and according to new metrics, is nearing X in one category.
In June, Threads had 115.1 million daily active users on the mobile app, according to data from Similarweb shared by <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/07/threads-is-nearing-xs-daily-app-users-new-data-shows/">TechCrunch</a>. That total was up 127.8% year-over-year and also came closer to X than in past months.
X had 132 million daily active users on mobile in June, which was down 15.2% year-over-year.
Bluesky, another social media rival, trailed both with 4.1 million daily active users on mobile in June, but that figure was up an impressive 372.5% year-over-year.
For U.S. users, the data was also close. X had 33.1 million daily active users for mobile in June, while Threads had 15.3 million daily active users. Bluesky had around 1.1 million daily active users for U.S. mobile in June.
The data shows that Threads is seeing an increase in mobile usage while X is seeing declines. The lines of daily active users are getting closer together, at least for mobile. This comes as Meta said it passed the 350 million monthly active users milestone for Threads recently and is working on further monetizing this user base.
X, which is no longer public, had 600 million monthly active users in 2024, according to data from Musk.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While Threads is closing the gap for mobile daily active users in the latest data, it still has a long way to go for web visits.
Similarweb data showed that X had 145.8 million daily web visits in June, compared to only 6.9 million daily web visits for Threads. Bluesky was even lower at 5.3 million daily web visits.
The data for the U.S. region was similar, with X having 33.1 million daily web visits in June, with Threads having 985,200 daily web visits and Bluesky having 2.4 million daily web visits.
This shows that X still ranks as one of the most visited social media platforms and gets significantly more web traffic than Threads. Threads was set up as a mobile app, with the web version launched later. 
Add it up, and X is still dominant over Threads, but it should be worried about mobile growth for Threads and usage decline on its platform.
While there is room for many social media platforms, users in the U.S. and around the world only have so much time to commit to each platform, and X and Threads both want to get as much usage and monetization opportunities as possible.
The battle between X and Threads comes with Musk and Zuckerberg are also the two richest people in the world at this time. Musk is the world's richest person, worth $349 billion according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg</a>. Zuckerberg ranks second with $254 billion.
Similar to their mobile usage trajectory, Musk is on the decline and Zuckerberg is on the rise. Musk's net worth is down $83.9 billion year-to-date in 2025, while Zuckerberg's wealth is up $46.9 billion. This comes, of course, with Tesla stock down 22% in 2025 and Meta stock up 22% in 2025.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Adobe 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Longevity startup Circulate Health<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/circulate-health-raises-12-million-in-seed-funding-to-accelerate-research-in-longevity-and-expand-therapeutic-plasma-exchange-tpe-treatment-centers-302492382.html"> announced</a> Wednesday that it has raised $12 million in seed funding to expand a pricey outpatient service it calls ‘targeted blood cleaning.'
The treatment, known as therapeutic plasma exchange, removes a patient's blood, separates the liquid plasma, and then returns the blood cells with a replacement fluid. Circulate Health says this process clears out inflammation and biological compounds linked to aging.
According to<a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/seattle-startup-circulate-health-raises-12m-for-pricey-blood-cleaning-longevity-service/"> GeekWire</a>, the procedure costs between $8,000 and $10,000 per session and is not covered by insurance. Since May 2024, the Seattle-based company says it has completed over 1,000 treatments in eight states through a network of 24 clinics.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Study Shows Youthful Results But Critics Remain Skeptical</h2>
Circulate Health co-founder and CEO Dr. Brad Younggren told GeekWire that they "saw a lot of expected outcomes that would be consistent with cellular rejuvenation."
A<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.70103"> study</a> published in Aging Cell by Circulate Health and Buck Institute for Research on Aging observed 42 participants, with one group receiving six plasma exchanges plus a dose of antibodies. That group experienced a 2.61-year average reduction in biological age, according to the company. However, the trial lasted only three to five months, and experts say more research is needed.
Dr. Jeffrey Winters, chair of transfusion medicine at the Mayo Clinic, told the<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/well/plasma-exchange-longevity.html"> New York Times</a> that the findings do not show the therapy leads to longer or healthier lives. The study's final blood samples showed diminishing effects, suggesting that any benefit may taper off over time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Backed By Khosla Ventures, Built on Research From the Buck Institute</h2>
Circulate Health operated in stealth for two years and officially launched in January 2024 when Younggren joined as CEO. According to GeekWire, his co-founder is Dr. Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45027859/khosla-ventures-leads-16-2m-series-a-in-loti-ai-backed-by-wme-caa-to-shield-celebrities-from-deepfake-threats">Khosla Ventures</a> led the $12 million seed round, joined by Seaside Ventures and CSC Ventures. Robbie Schwietzer, former chief product officer at 98point6, also joined the Circulate Health team as chief operating officer, GeekWire says.
&#8220;We incubated Circulate to explore whether a safe, well-understood therapy like therapeutic plasma exchange could counter the deleterious effects of aging, and offer broader health benefits like potentially removing microplastics from the body,&#8221; Khosla Ventures partner Alex Morgan said in the statement. &#8220;Early clinical results are promising, and we&#8217;re excited to continue backing the team as they work to make therapeutic plasma exchange more accessible to more people.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Longevity Tech is Booming as Wealthy Clients Chase Youth</h2>
The U.S. longevity tech market has pulled in $1.8 billion in investment since 2021, according to<a href="https://pitchbook.com/news/reports/2025-emerging-space-brief-longevity-tech"> PitchBook</a>. In 2024 alone, startups in the space raised nearly $300 million as investors doubled down on areas like epigenetic reprogramming and senolytics, fields targeting the root causes of aging rather than just its symptoms.
Backed by visionaries such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45961532/nvidia-and-samsung-back-4-5b-robotics-startup-skild-ai-with-35m-as-softbank-and-jeff-bezos-drive-push-into-consumer-robots">Jeff Bezos</a> and Sam Altman, PitchBook says the sector is gaining momentum despite regulatory uncertainty and long development timelines.
Circulate Health's competitors include MaxWell Clinic and Next Health, both offering similar treatments. The difference, Circulate Health claims, according to Geekwire, lies in their replacement fluid: albumin instead of saline, and the addition of targeted antibodies. Younggren said their method aims to improve longevity outcomes beyond what traditional plasma donation protocols offer.
While the treatment remains expensive and uncovered by insurance, Younggren believes it could help prevent costly chronic illness down the line. "This notion of making America healthy again fits right in with what we're trying to do," Younggren told GeekWire.

Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752098418_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Texas Pacific Land P/E Relative to Its Competitors</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 18.17 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Texas Pacific Land Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 52.35. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Texas Pacific Land Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752098418_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.
