To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Raise Cash And Hedges</h4>
It is time to raise cash and hedges.&nbsp; For details, please see the section below titled "Protection Band And What To Do Now.".
There are a number of triggers for this call that include ISM data and President Trump following through with tariffs.&nbsp; Please note that this call may need to be quickly reversed if one of the following occurs:
<ul>
<li>Trump changes his mind and removes the tariffs.</li>
<li>The Fed starts indicating that it will rapidly cut interest rates.</li>
</ul>
It is a matter of personal preference to implement these changes now or wait until after Trump's speech.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Attention To Support Zone</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-trump-speech-tariffs-spy-mc-03042025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market has fallen below the previous breakout line.</li>
<li>The chart shows the support zone.</li>
<li>Unless President Trump changes his mind or the Fed changes its policy, the stock market going to the support zone is the highest probability scenario at this time.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that the stock market is oversold.&nbsp; Oversold markets tend to bounce.</li>
<li>President Trump will deliver a speech before the joint session of Congress this evening at 9pm ET.&nbsp; Trump is likely to talk about the Russia Ukraine war, DOGE actions, inflation, tariffs, and immigration.</li>
<li>Normally, when the president speaks before Congress it is positive, optimistic, and invigorating.&nbsp; Often, it is designed to make the stock market go up. In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should pay attention to what Trump has said in advance of his speech.&nbsp; Trump has said, "I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!"&nbsp; It is not clear what Trump is going to say and how it will impact the stock market.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Of interest in the big picture is earnings from Target Corp (TGT), as Target is a large retailer.  Target beat on earnings, reported revenues inline, and guides earnings inline but revenues below consensus.  The commentary from Target CEO Brian Cornell is mixed – the consumer is cautious and concerned about tariffs; there will be price increases.</li>
<li>Momo gurus have been shouting from the top of their lungs that tariffs were a negotiation tactic and Trump would never impose them.&nbsp; As is often the case, momo gurus are wrong again.&nbsp; Prudent investors need to remember that momo gurus profit from the stock market going up; their real job is to persuade their followers to buy stocks regardless of market conditions.</li>
<li>The momo gurus pattern is that when their calls are proven wrong, they come up with a new narrative to persuade their followers to buy stocks.&nbsp; The new momo guru narrative is that they know tariffs will be short lived.</li>
<li>Investors should start with Arora's Second Law Of Investing And Trading: "Nobody knows with certainty, what is going to happen next in the markets."&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, investors should not be so sure that tariffs will be short lived, especially with China.&nbsp; The Chinese are extremely smart and strategic.&nbsp; For example, China has designed retaliatory tariffs in a manner that will hurt Trump supporters the most.&nbsp; China is trying to flood the White House with calls from Trump supporters to remove tariffs on China.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc (AAPL) and Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Meta Platforms Inc (META), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Most of the gains in bitcoin from Trump's announcement of a strategic crypto reserve have evaporated.  Bitcoin is seeing selling.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Market Summary

Raising Cash And Hedges, Pay Attention To Stock Market Support Zone Trump's Speech

Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) CEO Corie Barry said on Tuesday's earnings call that President Donald Trump's tariffs will increase prices for consumers and have implications<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44108638/best-buy-q4-earnings-sales-dip-solid-computing-demand-dividend-hike-and-more"> for the entire industry.</a> 
What To Know: Barry said China and Mexico are the company's top two sources, respectively, and the newly imposed tariffs are going to raise costs for retailers, leading to higher prices for consumers.&nbsp;
"We expect our vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely," Barry said on the call.&nbsp;

The CEO estimated that a 10% tariff on China would decrease comparable sales by 1%, but that a 20% tariff wouldn't necessarily result in a 2% reduction. He also warned that the implications of tariffs will be felt throughout the industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"We've never seen this kind of breadth of tariffs, and this of course impacts the whole industry. So it's not just a Best Buy question, it is a broad industry question. And I say that because that makes the estimation of the impact all the harder," Barry said.
"This is bigger than just a discussion about tariffs. It's just kind of a volatile environment for the consumer," Barry said.&nbsp;
Looking Ahead: Best Buy issued a weak earnings outlook for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44104493/best-buy-reports-fourth-quarter-results"> fiscal 2026</a> with its midpoint below analyst estimates, due in part to declining comparable sales and a cautious consumer. The company also pointed out that its guidance did include impacts from current or proposed tariffs.&nbsp;
"The giant wild card here, obviously, is how the consumers are going to react to the price increases, in light of a lot of price increases potentially throughout the year and a general consumer confidence that is showing a little signs of weakness at the moment," Best Buy CFO Matt Bilunas said on the call.
BBY Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Best Buy shares are down 14.9% at $73.74 amid broad market declines after tariffs went into effect Tuesday.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Extra Space Storage's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.33%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Watching AT&T; Shares Sharply Move To The Downside, Company Currently Presenting At The Morgan Stanley Tech Conference

Shares of Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) were trading lower on Tuesday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44106754/targets-q4-earnings-beat-estimates-warns-consumer-uncertainty-impact-in-q1-profits">its fourth-quarter results</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Telsey Advisory Group On Target
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e301e08430dee0001c88c8d/joseph-feldman">Analyst Joseph Feldman</a> reiterated an Outperform rating and price target of $150.
Target reported its fourth-quarter earnings at $2.41 per share, beating consensus of $2.26 per share, with in-line comps and better-than-expected operating margins, Feldman said in a note. Although traffic grew 2.1% during the quarter, the impact was partly offset by a 0.6% decline in average ticket, he added.
Target's operating margins contracted by 110 basis points to 4.7%, while gross margins declined by 36 basis points to 26.2%, "reflecting higher digital fulfillment and supply chain costs as well as elevated promotions and clearance rates," the analyst wrote. The company expects its profits to be under "meaningful pressure" in the first quarter, "given a softer start to February, uncertainty related to consumer spending trends and potential tariffs," he further stated.

Roth Capital Partners On Target
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e00db2d3513fb0001f048a6/bill-kirk">Analyst Bill Kirk</a> maintained a Neutral rating and price target of $131.
Target guided to fiscal 2025 net sales growth of around 1%, below consensus of 3%, and flat comp store sales, versus consensus of 1.6%, Kirk said. The company's guidance "suggests the macro environment does not improve," he added.
"Importantly, the year has started below the guided plan, with February experiencing a small net sales decline," the analyst wrote. The sales decline in February could exert "meaningful" pressure on Target's profits in the first quarter, which means the company would need to improve its business to achieve the fiscal 2025 guided ranges, he further stated.
JPMorgan On Target
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d225/christopher-horvers">Analyst Christopher Horvers</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating on the stock.
Target reported fourth-quarter comps of 1.5%, in-line with expectations, with strong traffic and digital performance, Horvers said. However, the company expects its comps to be roughly flat on net sales growth around 1%, he added.
Management guided earnings from $8.80 per share to $9.80 per share, "implying low 5% op margin at the midpoint," the analyst stated. The company indicated that "ongoing consumer uncertainty, a weak February, the timing of certain costs, and tariff uncertainty are expected to create meaningful YOY profit pressure in 1Q vs. the remainder of FY25," he further wrote.
TGT Price Action: Shares of Target were down 5.7% to $113.84 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

In the current session, McGrath RentCorp Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGRC#NASDAQ">MGRC</a>) is trading at $118.80, after a 0.72% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.91%, and in the past year, by 3.76%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>McGrath RentCorp P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 82.58 in the Trading Companies &amp; Distributors industry, McGrath RentCorp Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.69. 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/2025/1741104947_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.
