<h3>Comparing Cognizant Tech Solns P/E Against Its 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. 
Cognizant Tech Solns has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 95.48 of the IT Services 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/2025/1737405909_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.

COKE

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Personal finance expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42988489/im-watching-my-retirement-savings-erode-away-61-year-old-panics-over-his-investments-but-dave-ramsey-tells-him-shut-up-and-invest">Dave Ramsey</a>, known for his no-nonsense advice, recently shared a caller's story on social media highlighting a financial challenge many Americans face as they approach retirement. At age 59, this caller had no retirement savings but had recently sold a $518,000 home. Once she paid off most of her debts, leaving only a car lease, she had $290,000 left and sought Ramsey's advice on balancing investing and buying a new home.&nbsp;
"Instead of taking all of the money and putting it into a home I was thinking that maybe I should beef up an investment account," the caller said. "But I know that your steps say that&#8217;s like borrowing money to invest."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
The caller was considering a $300,000 home just north of Palm Beach, Florida, where she currently resides. She would use $200,000 for part of it and take out a mortgage on the rest. Ramsey's response really honed in on the importance of achieving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42947081/a-salary-is-the-drug-they-give-you-to-forget-your-dreams-says-kevin-oleary-encourages-people-to-embrace-the-fear-of-failure">financial security</a> before retirement.&nbsp;
He advised the caller to instead purchase a $200,000 home that she could buy outright instead of taking a mortgage. This would allow her to avoid monthly housing payments and allocate more of the remaining funds toward building a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42885231/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-retire-with-a-3-million-nest-egg-hint-its-an-incredibly-low-number">retirement nest egg</a>.&nbsp;
"Retiring with zero money or close to zero money and a nice paid-for house is not a plan," Ramsey said. He advised living in the $200,000 house for 3-5 years while the caller focuses on building her nest egg. Then later, if the market was right and she could afford to buy a nicer home, she could work up to that.&nbsp;

Now, they've propelled these icons into the future using next-gen patented AR, VR, and AI technology. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">There&#8217;s now a limited window for investors to claim shares at just $2/share with $980 minimum—but the clock is ticking.</a>
Ramsey also recommended paying off the car lease early to eliminate all remaining debt. With no debt and reduced monthly expenses, he suggested aggressively saving the leftover $50,000 by investing in a Roth IRA and SEP IRA.&nbsp;
The caller's story resonates with many Americans nearing retirement without sufficient savings. According to a recent AARP survey, 20% of adults over 50 have no retirement savings. Many are also burdened by debt, with nearly one-third carrying a credit card balance of $10,000 or more.
Inflation and rising costs continue to exacerbate these issues. Over 37% of respondents reported difficulty covering basic expenses like food and housing. Additionally, over a quarter of those not yet retired expect never to retire.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Indira Venkateswaran, AARP's Senior Vice President of Research, noted, "Everyday expenses continue to be the top barrier to saving more for retirement and some older Americans say that they never expect to retire."
For those nearing retirement without significant savings, the path forward may involve tough decisions such as downsizing, eliminating debt and working longer. Ramsey's advice to prioritize financial security highlights the value of taking proactive steps, even late in life.
While challenges remain, guidance from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisors</a> can help Americans navigate their retirement years with greater confidence and stability.

'Retiring With Zero Money And A Nice Paid-for House Is Not A Plan' Dave Ramsey Tells 59-Year-Old With No Retirement Savings

Skyworks Solutions's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NYSE">SWKS</a>) short percent of float has risen 19.85% since its last report.

<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.

Bearish Sentiment Across The Cannabis Space - Check Full Movers For January 20, 2025

Minutes after President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43085323/trump-sworn-in-as-47th-president-declares-golden-age-of-america-begins-right-now">oath-taking ceremony</a>, newly filed lawsuits against his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) allege that the committee violates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42084945/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-backs-doge-initiative-how-blockchain-could-transform-government-efficiency">federal advisory regulations</a>.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/flurry-lawsuits-target-new-department-government-efficiency-trump/story?id=117899670">ABC News</a>, several lawsuits have been filed.
<ul>
<li>A union representing thousands of federal employees and a consumer watchdog group accuse President Trump of refusing to &#8220;regard DOGE as an advisory committee.&#8221;</li>
<li>The Center for Biological Diversity, a climate-focused advocacy group, seeks a broad array of records from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), including &#8220;all transition materials sent to or received by OMB referencing&#8221; &#8230; DOGE co-chairs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.</li>
<li>The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington seeks to &#8220;[block] the operation of DOGE until it comes into compliance with the law.&#8221;</li>
<li>In another lawsuit, filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, plaintiffs Jerald Lentini, Joshua Erlich, and National Security Counselors, Inc. aregue that DOGE isn&#8217;t compliant with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).</li>
</ul>
DOGE, announced by Trump on Nov. 12, 2024, is an advisory committee established to provide advice and guidance regarding government structure.
Musk and Ramaswamy seek to work closely with the White House and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42469967/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-slam-sec-just-another-weaponized-institution">the OMB to cut trillions in federal spending</a>.

Why It Matters: Musk and Ramaswamy have publicly described their goals for the committee as achieving &#8220;mass headcount reductions&#8221; and cutting federal regulations.
However, critics argue that DOGE's membership—largely comprising tech industry leaders and Republican-aligned individuals—fails to represent broader perspectives, such as those of federal employees or unions.
According to one complaint, the plaintiffs, who include a public interest law firm, federal employees, and transparency advocates, sought membership in DOGE to ensure fair representation.
Their applications were allegedly ignored, further fueling accusations of imbalanced participation. The NSC claims that DOGE's operations fail to meet FACA's requirements for balanced representation, transparency, and public accountability.
Plaintiffs also assert that DOGE has not filed the required charter with Congress, nor has it made records, agendas, or meeting minutes available to the public.
Reports also allege that DOGE communicates through encrypted platforms like Signal, bypassing public scrutiny.
The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to halt DOGE's activities until it complies with FACA. 
They are also calling for the removal of any reports or recommendations produced by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42469967/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-slam-sec-just-another-weaponized-institution">committee from official use.</a>
What&#8217;s Next: DOGE plans to utilize legal experts embedded in government agencies and use technology to evaluate government regulations.
Specific allegations include the absence of diverse viewpoints, improper influence from appointing authorities, lack of an advisory charter, and failure to notify the public of meetings.

HUBB

(HUBB) - Analyzing Hubbell's Short Interest

Dave Ramsey has never been shy about sharing his opinions on financial systems and this time, he took on one of the most entrenched ideas in personal finance: the FICO score. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGHGzU3CtZg&amp;t=1610s">video</a> addressing criticisms of his 7 Baby Steps Program, Ramsey called the FICO score system a "Bankers' scam" designed to keep <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">Americans stuck in a cycle of debt</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Need a Credit Card to Build a Credit</h2>
Many financial advisors claim that building your credit score is essential, so you need a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-credit-cards">credit card</a>. Ramsey debunks this myth by explaining that the FICO score isn't about financial success but rather how well you interact with debt. In fact, 100% of your FICO score is based on debt-related factors:
<ul>
<li>35%: Your payment history on debts.</li>
<li>30%: The amount of debt you owe.</li>
<li>15%: How long you've been in debt.</li>
<li>10%: Types of debt.</li>
<li>10%: New debt taken on.</li>
</ul>
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
"You could inherit a million dollars tomorrow or get a million-dollar raise at work and it wouldn't improve your FICO score one bit," Ramsey points out. Why? Because the system only cares about how you manage debt, not your actual wealth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The FICO Score Benefits Banks, Not You</h2>
Ramsey emphasizes that the FICO score was created by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) to help banks evaluate how profitable you'll be as a borrower. "Guess who loves FICO? All the banks, because the whole purpose of FICO is to get you into debt so that you can run your score up so that you can get into debt so that you can run your score," he says.
In a sharp critique, Ramsey notes that many people with high FICO scores have paid tens of thousands of dollars in interest over time, effectively rewarding the banks. That's why he noted, "If you've got an 800 credit score, it has nothing to do with whether you're winning financially."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Ridiculous Reality</h2>
To highlight the absurdity of the system, Ramsey shares a personal story. Despite being able to write a check to buy an entire apartment complex, he can't rent an apartment because he doesn't have a FICO score, as he famously avoids debt altogether.
He says a 26-year-old at the leasing office is following a checklist that says you need a credit score to rent. Never mind the fact that Ramsey could buy the whole building outright. "This is how asinine this is," Ramsey says. "This is stupid and the idea that we all fell for this crap is ridiculous."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chasing the Wrong Goals</h2>
Ramsey argues that the cultural obsession with FICO scores has led many Americans to worship the "Great FICO," as if it's the ultimate measure of financial success. But he stresses that real wealth comes from avoiding debt and building assets – not chasing a high credit score.

Dave Ramsey advises stopping chasing a FICO score and starting to focus on building actual wealth. The system is rigged to benefit banks, not consumers and falling into the debt trap makes it harder to achieve financial independence. Instead of playing by the rules of the "Bankers' scam," Ramsey recommends breaking free by avoiding debt altogether.
While Ramsey critiques the FICO score system, it's worth noting that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42330187/had-to-uber-to-the-funeral-home-and-beg-for-a-ride-this-family-says-dave-ramseys-no-credit-advice-failed-them">having a (good) credit score</a> can make certain financial processes smoother. For those who use debt responsibly, a good FICO score can help secure lower interest rates on mortgages, car loans or other financing options. This can result in significant savings over time, especially for individuals who plan to finance large purchases. The key is to avoid becoming overly reliant on debt and to use credit as a tool rather than a crutch.
