A Closer Look at 8 Analyst Recommendations For Bloom Energy

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has cooled off 6% on Friday after its recent rally, but growing optimism stems from rising burn rates and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/shiba-inu-price-prediction">favorable technical analysis</a>.
What Happened: Shiba Inu&#8217;s burn rate soared 114.5% in the past 24 hours after burning 16.2 million tokens in a single transaction, according to Shibburn. Over the past week, the burn rate increased 323.7%, with a total of 641.9 million SHIB tokens burned.
Whale activity has also been noteworthy. A whale <a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1857163089914781778">moved</a> 4 trillion SHIB, worth $99 million, to a newly created wallet on Nov. 14. The sender is Shiba Inu's ninth-largest holder, with over 7 trillion SHIB (0.73% of the total supply).
Both addresses involved belong to BitGo, a digital asset firm. However, the receiving address is a new one reflecting only two transactions including the current one.
Shiba Inu has underperformed its two biggest rivals Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>).

Technical Analysis:  Benzinga technical analysis shows Shiba Inu&#8217;s relative strength index at 64.7, suggesting bullish momentum without entering overbought territory. The coin has room for further growth before reaching extreme levels.
On the Simple Moving Average (SMA) chart, Shiba Inu's 50-day SMA is crossing above the 100-day and 200-day SMAs. This is also considered a bullish signal and a shift towards a stronger upward momentum in price. 
The market sentiment implies that investors and traders interpret this as increased buying interest, which can lead to further price increases.
Statistics: IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume decreasing by 2.7% and daily active addresses up by 0.7%. 
Transactions greater than $100,000 are down from 1,092 to 962 in a single day. 
Around 59% of SHIB holders are profitable, while 35% remain at a loss despite the rally. 
Shibarium data reflects daily transactions remain steady above $4 million since Nov.1.

Assessing Brixmor Property Group: Insights From 9 Financial Analysts

In the current market session, Exxon Mobil Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) stock price is at $120.53, after a 0.02% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 0.46%, and in the past year, by 15.37%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Exxon Mobil P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Exxon Mobil has a better P/E ratio of 15.01 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 13.3 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that Exxon Mobil Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731675620_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.

Balance Between Income And Expenditure
While government spending and its revenue streams determine how the economy will look, it also depends on other large fiscal and monetary decisions. An expansionary fiscal policy reduces the budget surplus or increases the budget deficit.
In general, decreased taxes and increased government spending, both increase a budget deficit, overall demand, economic growth, and employment. All the Keynesian economists, who follow the work of British economist John Maynard Keynes, believe that fiscal policy, through its effect on aggregate demand, can strongly impact economic growth. 
To simplify this, if an individual spends more than they earn, they will have to borrow money to meet their needs. A steady supply from lenders and low interest rates will just increase the amount of debt held by the individuals. This is why in the current context, the Treasury yields have risen, pricing in the inflation expectations. Thus, the balance between income and expenditure becomes imperative. However, in the larger context, a country usually adjusts its budget deficit or surplus to maintain balance and stability.
Thus, Musk&#8217;s claim on higher government spending, in contrast to, less earnings via taxes, tariffs, or other channels, causes inflation to rise. 
Replying to Musk&#8217;s tweet, Steve Burns, trader and founder of NewTraderU.com, shared a rare video of the Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, where he talks about what causes inflation according to his theory.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

However, monetarists believe that fiscal stimulus&#8217;s effect is only temporary and that monetary policy should increase or decrease inflationary pressures over time instead of influencing aggregate demand to counter-cyclical movements in the economy.

The Catch 22
According to Musk&#8217;s ideas, increasing the government&#8217;s revenue stream and decreasing spending can help control inflation.
However, consumers don&#8217;t prefer higher taxes which most likely prompts DOGE co-head Musk to decrease federal spending via the contribution of their findings by the proposed task force.
Guy Berger, the director of economic research at the Burning Glass Institute, states how higher taxes affect consumers and how the monetary policy has its own limitations as they cannot target rates below &#8220;zero&#8221; to control inflation.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">There's a problem with asymmetry here &#8211; ideally you want "negative checks" when the economy is too hot but people don't like taxes. But also, the zero lower bound for monetary policy doesn't bind in that direction.
&mdash; Guy Berger (@EconBerger) <a href="https://twitter.com/EconBerger/status/1854898781072114151?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2024</a></blockquote>

</figure>
Additionally, President-elect Donald Trump has also spoken about imposing higher tariffs and cutting tax rates, both of which could result in higher inflation.
A tariff placed on imported goods increases their prices domestically while decreasing the quantity imported. Domestic producers gain, foreign exporters lose, and the domestic government only gains by the amount of the tariff revenues.
While the proposed policies have a conflicting view as compared to what is necessary to control inflation, a strategic and well-planned fiscal and monetary policy is important to control inflation while maintaining economic growth. Berger adds that &#8220;one technical solution here is less reliance on ad hoc stimulus packages, and more on rule-based automatic stabilizers.&#8221;
Even though Musk believes that cutting &#8220;wasteful government spending&#8221; can help curtail inflation, the larger picture in line with Trump&#8217;s promised policies doesn&#8217;t seem simple.
To sum it up, &#8220;When the economy is sick, give it the medicine it needs, when it needs it, at doses calibrated to the intensity of the illness,&#8221; adds Berger.

Impact On Treasury Yields
In the current context as the inflation fears continue to linger, U.S. Treasury yields have also spiked. This means that debt is cheaper, giving away more purchasing power to debtholders, thus stoking inflation.
Considering the October CPI data, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, using monetary policy as a tool, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41991849/powell-with-strong-us-economy-fed-has-no-need-to-be-in-a-hurry-to-lower-rates">pared back the interest rate cut expectations</a>. &#8220;The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rate,&#8221; Powell said on Thursday in Dallas.
The two-year yields ended Thursday at 4.32%, whereas the ten-year yields jumped to 4.42%. Fiscally, if the government borrows more from the public after cutting taxes the longer end of the yield curve is also bound to rise, signaling inflation fears.
