The U.S. government's bold move to establish Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as an official reserve asset through President Donald Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve (SBR) has thrust cryptocurrencies into the spotlight, yet stablecoins like PayPal's PYUSD <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44252537/xrps-rlusd-stablecoin-has-only-0-7-market-share-what-is-going-on">and Ripple's RLUSD</a> are faltering in their bid for market share against offshore giants like Tether's USDT.
What Happened: Signed into effect on March 6, the executive order designates Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade store of value, backed by roughly 100,000 BTC from forfeited Treasury holdings, while a favorable regulatory climate has failed to ignite adoption of U.S.-based stablecoins.
Analysts point to a paradox: despite unprecedented federal endorsement of digital assets, entrenched transnational players continue to overshadow domestic efforts in the stablecoin arena.
The SBR, detailed in H.C. Wainwright &amp; Co. reports, marks a seismic shift for Bitcoin, which dropped more than 15% to below $80,000 amid investor frustration over vague acquisition plans beyond the initial reserve. 
"The EO states that these coins ‘shall not be sold,'" notes the March 11 report, signaling a long-term U.S. commitment to holding its 198,000 BTC—net of 95,000 owed to Bitfinex—far surpassing Germany's recent 50,000 BTC sale.
Meanwhile, a separate U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, including 61,000 ETH, points toward Bitcoin's elevated status, as the order prohibits proactive altcoin purchases.

This federal backing, paired with Texas's SB-21 allowing state Bitcoin investments, has analysts predicting a global rush to secure Bitcoin, yet stablecoins tell a different story.
Stablecoins, pegged to the dollar and designed for stability, have enjoyed a Donald Trump administration tailwind, with a supportive Securities and Exchange Commission, a Tether-friendly Commerce Secretary, and relaxed banking rules from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 
Paypal&#8217;s PYUSD and Ripple&#8217;s RLUSD—launched in December as an "enterprise-ready" option on the XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) Ledger—have barely scratched the surface of their target markets.
RLUSD holds less than 0.7% of the stablecoin sector nearly three months post-launch, despite stabilizing at its $1 peg after early volatility. 
PayPal's offering, integrated across its apps and third-party platforms, has similarly struggled, with market forces favoring established players like USDT, USDS and USDE.
"The explicit differentiation firmly elevates Bitcoin above other cryptocurrencies," the March 10 H.C. Wainwright report states, highlighting a policy focus that prioritizes Bitcoin's scarcity and value over stablecoins' transactional utility. 
Tether's dominance persists, bolstered by its offshore roots and widespread use, while U.S.-based contenders grapple with adoption hurdles despite regulatory green lights. 
PayPal has stated it remains committed to PYUSD, dismissing concerns tied to a Biden-era subpoena, and Ripple banks on RLUSD's enterprise appeal, but analysts see little dent in the offshore lead.
What&#8217;s Next: The contrast is stark: Bitcoin's reserve status tightens its supply and boosts institutional credibility, while stablecoins—touted as the future of payments—lag, revealing a market resistant to new entrants even under optimal conditions.
As the U.S. positions itself as a crypto leader, the stablecoin struggle point out to Tether's enduring grip.

Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Demystifying Alnylam Pharmaceuticals: Insights From 15 Analyst Reviews

Looking into the current session, Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) shares are trading at $331.17, after a 3.02% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.56%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 16.16%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741716027_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Visa P/E Against 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 101.89 in the Financial Services industry, Visa Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 34.42. 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/2025/1741716027_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.

Crane Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (4 Ratings)

Asana Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASAN#NYSE">ASAN</a>) stock plunged after multiple Wall Street firms cut their respective price targets.
Asana reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44254322/asana-shares-are-tumbling-tuesday-whats-driving-the-action" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $188.33 million, beating analyst estimates of $188.1 million. The company reported breakeven fourth-quarter earnings, beating analyst estimates for a loss of 1 cent per share.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44245291/ciena-q1-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-estimates-ceo-eyes-ai-cloud-network-tailwinds" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ciena Q1 Earnings: Revenue and EPS Beat Estimates, CEO Eyes AI, Cloud Network Tailwinds</a>
Asana guided for first-quarter revenue of $184.5 million-$186.5 million and first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.02.
Asana co-founder, CEO, and chair&nbsp;Dustin Moskovitz&nbsp;informed the board of his intention to transition to chair. Asana has retained an executive search firm to search for a new CEO.
JP Morgan analyst Pinjalim Bora maintained Asana with an Underweight rating and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASAN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$15&nbsp;to&nbsp;$13</a>.
The analyst writes that Asana&#8217;s fourth quarter highlighted the stabilization of growth and retention metrics while profitability outperformed. The fourth-quarter revenue aligned with consensus and marked a steady growth versus last quarter on an FX-adjusted basis.
Calculated billings landed slightly above, accelerating into the low-double-digit zone. Dollar-based net retention rate (DBNRR) was stable at 96% on a reported basis, while the in-quarter net retention rate improved sequentially.
While non-tech verticals were stable, Asana highlighted continued softness in the tech vertical (primarily driven by a reduction in seats and one logo churn).
This pressured the reported DBNRR for customers spending over $100K in ACV, which contracted 3 pts sequentially to 96%, landing in line with the overall reported number for the first time.
On AI studio, Asana reported that the early momentum had exceeded the company&#8217;s expectations. It has already amassed a multi-million dollar pipeline and paid customers.
As such, the company aims to establish a dedicated sales team to capitalize on the opportunity and embark on some broader sales capacity alignment.
The brightest spot in the results was a solid improvement in profitability in the quarter and in the guide.
While the company highlighted several avenues of conservatism in the guide (not baking in any improvement in net retention or performance of the tech vertical and baking in de minimis contribution from AI Studio, with no contribution from consumption), Bora&#8217;s understanding is that the guide was set a couple of weeks ago, and does not bake in any deterioration in macro from the current levels, which could be a risk to the plan (offset by potential improvement in FX during that period).
Overall, while growth continues to materially lag that of peers, which would likely drive underperformance in the shares in the near term. Bora noted Asana as essentially a profitability story from here on out, with multiple levers to drive material improvement in margins in the future.
Bora projected first-quarter revenue of $186 million and adjusted EPS of $0.02.
Price Action: ASAN stock is down 23.6% at $12.74 at last check Tuesday.

Moderna Exec Says Co Expects "Little Bit More Of A Business As Usual" In Terms Of Vaccine-Related Meetings As Confirmations For Key Healthcare Roles Take Place

Wall Street's losing streak extended into Tuesday, with stocks deepening their slump as continued trade war fears rattled investor sentiment. 
The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.6% by midday trading in New York after suffering on Monday its worst single-day drop since September 2022<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44255030/nasdaq-100-trades-below-its-200-day-moving-average-history-says-you-should-buy-the-dip-now"> in the prior session. </a>
The broader S&amp;P 500 slid to a seven-month low, amplifying concerns over the market's near-term trajectory.
The proportion of S&amp;P 500 stocks trading above their 200-day moving average has now shrunk to 44%, the lowest since November 2023. Each sector traded in the red, highlighting broad-based market weakness. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the biggest underperformer on Tuesday, with industrial stocks bearing the brunt of escalating trade tensions.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by raising tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%, responding to Ontario's move to levy a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44253100/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-threatens-auto-industry">electricity exports to the U.S. </a>
In a Truth Social post, Trump announced he had instructed the Commerce secretary to enforce the additional 25% tariff, which will take effect Wednesday morning.
On the macroeconomic front, job openings in the U.S. showed unexpected resilience, rising by 232,000 to 7.74 million in January from a downwardly revised 7.51 million in December. The reading exceeded market forecasts of 7.63 million, suggesting positive labor market news despite broader economic jitters.
The U.S. dollar continued its descent, with the dollar index slipping to six-month lows. Treasury yields edged higher ahead of Wednesday's closely watched inflation report for February, signaling that investors were not rushing into safe-haven bonds despite the ongoing market turbulence.
Commodities, meanwhile, found favor as investors sought inflation hedges. Gold advanced 1%, silver surged 2.3% and copper climbed 3%, reflecting renewed demand for tangible assets in a climate of heightened financial instability.
Bitcoin endured a wild session, initially plunging to an intraday low of $76,600 — its lowest level since Nov. 10, 2024 — before rebounding to post a 3.9% gain on the day.

Wall Street Drop Deepens As Trade War Fears Escalate, S&P 500 Hits 7-Month Lows: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Jade J. Rahmani downgraded Lennar Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) from Outperform to Market Perform and reduced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $152 to $141.</a>
The analyst writes that the company&#8217;s valuation is now comparable to large-cap peers, with potential downside risks to estimates.
The analyst expects a challenging Spring selling season and growing risks to gross margin due to the tough macro environment and uncertainty <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener">Millrose Properties</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener"> spin-off</a>.
Consequently, Rahmani stated that he had adopted a more cautious approach towards the company. The analyst moves to the sidelines and awaits a better entry point.
While the analyst still sees the company as well-positioned due to several factors, such as its low financial leverage, potential ROE upside from the Millrose spin-off, and capital efficiency initiatives, the current housing market presents significant challenges.
The analyst cut the 2025-2026 estimates by 3%-4% to $11.89 and $13.44.
Rahmani continues to see order growth of 3% &#8211; 7% for the period. Meanwhile, the analyst revised estimates for deliveries growth to 5% &#8211; 6% (vs. prior estimates of 5% &#8211; 7%), gross margin to be 20.0% &#8211; 20.3% (vs. 20.3% &#8211; 20.5% earlier), and SG&amp;A to 7.6% &#8211; 7.7% (vs. 7.6% prior).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) and John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust John Hancock Fundamental All Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHAC#NYSE">JHAC</a>).
Price Action: LEN shares are down 3.12% at $121.32 at the last check Tuesday.
