Azenta shares are trading higher after Stephens & Co. upgraded the stock to Overweight from Equal-Weight and raised its price target from $50 to $60.

Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EOSE#NASDAQ">EOSE</a>) stock is trading higher on Wednesday after the company announced it secured a 400 MWh <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42552632">standalone storage order</a> with International Electric Power.
The Details: This order is part of a project to be deployed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California which aims to enhance grid resiliency for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
The project, supported by funding from the California Energy Commission's Long Duration Energy Storage Program, will use Eos Z3 batteries and is scheduled for delivery beginning in 2025. The Eos Z3 Cubes are safe, non-flammable and don't require cooling systems, which helps minimize noise and reduce operational costs.
&#8220;IEP and CEC are at the forefront of North American long-duration energy storage, and their partnership has been invaluable as Eos transitions into a profitable operating company. They recognize the need for multiple storage technologies and the energy security that an American-made product provides,&#8221; added Joe Mastrangelo, Eos CEO.
&#8220;It&#8217;s an honor to have been selected for such an important installation at Camp Pendleton.&#8221;

In the current session, the stock is trading at $93.06, after a 0.44% spike. Over the past month, Lantheus Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNTH#NASDAQ">LNTH</a>) stock increased by 7.65%, and in the past year, by 56.81%. 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/2024/1734546613_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Lantheus Holdings 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. 
Lantheus Holdings has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 48.6 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies 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/2024/1734546613_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.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">"Choppy Quarters Ahead"?</h1>
As Jake Silverman, Bloomberg Intelligence Semiconductor Analyst, puts it, "choppy quarters ahead for NAND" could pose a challenge, with pricing and inventory pressures in the smartphone and PC markets.
However, the analyst also highlights AI-related applications as a potential offset, giving Micron a chance to weather the storm.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Technical Signals Keep Optimists In The Game</h1>
Micron's stock, currently trading at $110.93, flashes bullish signs across key technical indicators. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/18114211/Screenshot-2024-12-18-at-10.11.43-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-698134" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/18114211/Screenshot-2024-12-18-at-10.11.43-PM.png 630w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/18114211/Screenshot-2024-12-18-at-10.11.43-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure>

It sits well above short- and medium-term moving averages, with the eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $103.94, the 20-day SMA at $102.07 and the 50-day SMA at $104.07. 
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at 1.15 also suggests momentum is on the bulls' side.
However, the 200-day SMA of $110.93 coincides with the price, remaining a hurdle, signaling a potential resistance level.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AI: A Light At The End Of The NAND Tunnel?</h1>
The market will be laser-focused on how Micron balances the dynamics of two divergent forces:
<ol>
<li>NAND Weakness: Elevated inventories and pricing pressure.</li>
<li>AI Opportunities: As Silverman notes, secular growth in AI applications could provide a much-needed boost, potentially offsetting the broader NAND market challenges.</li>
</ol>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Expected?</h1>
Analysts estimate an EPS of $1.76 and revenue of $8.72 billion. But beyond these numbers, investors will be scrutinizing the company's guidance. Can Micron sustain its AI-driven growth momentum, or will "choppy quarters" in NAND drag it down?

Nukkleus Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 319.6%

With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices peaking to all-time high levels, MicroStrategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has once again become a focal point in discussions among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42503221/microstrategy-shares-surge-nearly-7-amid-nasdaq-100-inclusion-and-bitcoins-new-record-high">traders and analysts</a>.
What Happened: In a tweet on Monday, industry expert Alex Kolicich addressed common misconceptions about MSTR in a recent tweet, explaining that the stock is neither a leveraged nor a synthetic call option on Bitcoin. 
Instead, Kolicich pointed out several structural inefficiencies:
<ul>
<li>MSTR trades at a 140% premium to its Bitcoin holdings&#8217; net asset value (NAV).</li>
<li>Each $1 invested in MSTR stock provides only $0.45 of Bitcoin exposure, far less than direct Bitcoin ownership.</li>
</ul>
Kolicich further <a href="https://x.com/AlexKolicich/status/1868705490387321177">elaborated</a> that MicroStrategy is not leveraged but instead deleveraged, offering reduced Bitcoin exposure compared to direct investments. 
He highlighted alternatives like BITX, which provide 2x leverage without a NAV premium.
Additionally, while traditional call options on assets typically offer leveraged upside due to their long volatility exposure, MSTR's convertible bonds effectively short volatility, diluting shareholder returns as Bitcoin prices rise.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader TheFlowHorse on Dec. 17 in a post on X emphasized the implications of Saylor&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, noting that these acquisitions have significantly raised MicroStrategy's DCA to $61,000. 
This figure is approximately 40% higher than Bitcoin's current price, introducing potential risks if prices fail to recover significantly.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Analysts warn that while Bitcoin&#8217;s pullbacks have historically been rare, Saylor's strategy could leave MSTR exposed to potential downside risk, especially with its C-Corp structure subject to double taxation, unlike <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42275232/leveraged-microstrategy-etfs-are-playing-with-fire-experts-warn">more efficient ETFs</a>.

MicroStrategy's Aggressive Bitcoin Strategy Raises Eyebrows In Crypto Community

Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRVS#NASDAQ">CRVS</a>) released interim data from a Phase 1 trial evaluating soquelitinib in patients with moderate to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42550503/corvus-pharmaceuticals-announces-interim-data-from-placebo-controlled-phase-1-clinical-trial-of-so" rel="noreferrer noopener">severe atopic dermatitis</a>.&nbsp;
The trial will enroll 64 patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who previously failed one prior topical or systemic therapy.
These doses were selected based on the company&#8217;s prior experience evaluating soquelitinib in T-cell lymphoma patients.
The company is reporting complete results from Cohort 1 of the trial, which includes 16 patients (12 who received soquelitinib 100 mg oral twice per day and four who received placebo), with follow-up at 28 days and 58 days.
The mean baseline EASI and IGA scores for soquelitinib patients were 20.4 and 3.0, respectively, compared to 18.5 and 3.3 for placebo patients.
EASI scores at 28-day and 58-day follow-up demonstrate a favorable effect of soquelitinib treatment compared to placebo.
The soquelitinib mean EASI score reduction was 55.9% at 28 days (n=12) compared to mean EASI reduction of 27.0% in placebo. At day 58, continued improvement in the soquelitinib group was seen with mean EASI reduction of 69.1% (n=10) compared to mean EASI reduction of 19.1% for the placebo group.
<ul>
<li>At day 28, in the soquelitinib group, nine of 12 patients achieved EASI 50; three of 12 achieved EASI 75 and one of 12 achieved EASI 90. Three of the 12 patients achieved IGA 0 or 1. In the placebo group, two of four patients achieved EASI 50 and none achieved EASI 75, EASI 90, or IGA 0 or 1.</li>
<li>At day 58, in the soquelitinib group, nine of 10 patients achieved EASI 50, four of 10 achieved EASI 75 and one of 10 achieved EASI 90. Three of 10 patients achieved IGA 0 or 1. In the placebo group, one in four patients achieved EASI 50, and no patients achieved EASI 75, EASI 90, or IGA 0 or 1.</li>
</ul>
No significant safety issues were observed. All the patients completed 28 days of dosing. One patient reported Grade 1 nausea that did not interfere with the subject receiving the full treatment course, and one patient developed COVID-19 on day 28 of treatment; that patient had an uneventful recovery.
Price Action: CRVS stock is down 36.80% at $4.67 at the last check on Wednesday.

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday, pulling back from a recent surge that saw the stock join the $1 trillion club. Here&#8217;s a look at what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42536512/market-breadth-worsens-as-tech-giants-break-free-from-sp-500-reality-is-this-bullish-or-bearish-for-2025">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Broadcom shares have been on a tear over the past week, gaining nearly 40% since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42472970/broadcom-reports-mixed-q4-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss-q1-guidance-in-line-with-estimates">reporting earnings</a>. Broadcom shares soared after the company beat earnings estimates and provided strong guidance for AI-related revenue growth.
Broadcom&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue was up 51% year-over-year to $14.05 billion, but came up short of estimates of $14.09 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Despite the miss on overall revenue, Broadcom reported a 220% increase in AI revenue and guided for significant growth in 2025. Positive commentary surrounding AI on the call also helped drive momentum to the upside.
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said on the call with analysts and investors that he expects the total addressable market for the company&#8217;s AI chips to be between $60 billion and $90 billion over the next few years. He also announced that the company was working on custom AI chips with large cloud customers, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/13/broadcom-stock-jumps-21percent-pushing-company-past-1-trillion-market-cap-for-the-first-time.html">per</a> CNBC.
Reports from last week suggested that Broadcom was working with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42439155/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-apple-ai-chip-report-whats-going-on">AI chip development</a>. The company is reportedly working on development of an AI server chip&#8217;s networking technology. Broadcom shares got a boost from the news. 
Several analysts have weighed in with positive updates since the company reported fourth-quarter results. Multiple analysts maintained Overweight ratings, while others kept Buy ratings on the name. Newly-issued price targets range from $205 to $255. 
The weakness in Broadcom shares on Wednesday appears to be due to profit-taking in the wake of Broadcom&#8217;s incredible surge above the $1 trillion market cap mark. Broadcom shares hit new all-time highs this week, so the stock is likely to remain volatile as investors try to determine the appropriate value of the stock given the recent string of AI news.
It&#8217;s worth noting that Broadcom was among the top trending stocks on Reddit&#8217;s WallStreetBets on Wednesday, suggesting retail investors are also sizing up the name.

KULR Technology Group, Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KULR#AMEX">KULR</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after the company announced it regained NYSE stockholder&#8217;s equity required compliance status. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42559178/worthington-enterprises-posts-upbeat-results-joins-jabil-archer-aviation-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-wednesday">need to know</a>.
What To Know: The company was previously cited for non-compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide in December 2023.
KULR has since demonstrated compliance with these standards for two consecutive quarters. Given the company&#8217;s compliance, the company has been removed from NYSE American noncompliant issuers on the exchange&#8217;s website.
How To Buy KULR Shares
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in KULR Tech Gr's case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Broadcom shares are trading lower, pulling back from its recent post-earnings surge.

Commercial Metals's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMC#NYSE">CMC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.18 million shares sold short, which is 3.73% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.24 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Commercial Metals Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734545722_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Commercial Metals has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Commercial Metals's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Commercial Metals's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.58%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
