Nintendo ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) announced key details surrounding the <a href="https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/4-2-2025/?srsltid=AfmBOor1pu0sEZFYJDQ2RxXz1J0mdZvMz0ZyGfktcuNugTJdPH2_bGk5">Switch 2</a> during Wednesday&#8217;s Nintendo Direct, revealing a June 5 launch date and a $450 price tag. The standard console will be accompanied by a $500 bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World, the first installment in the beloved franchise built exclusively for the new hardware.
What To Know: The Switch 2 boasts a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with HDR and supports up to 120 frames per second. The device launches with 256GB of storage, and its new dock allows for 4K gaming when connected to a TV. 
Other key hardware improvements include magnetically attached Joy-Cons, larger thumbsticks and a redesigned Pro Controller featuring a C-button for in-game communication.
The system also introduces GameShare, enabling multiple Switch 2 consoles to connect and play shared games locally or online. Battery life has been extended to an estimated 8 hours, addressing one of the most common complaints from the original Switch.

What Else: Nintendo also announced several high-profile game releases, including The Duskbloods, a FromSoftware title slated for 2026, and Donkey Kong Bonanza, launching July 17. Additional confirmed titles include Tony Hawk&#8217;s Pro Skater 3+4, Borderlands 4, Civilization 7 and Kirby Air Riders, a sequel of the 2003 GameCube racing game.
Moreover, GameCube classics like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Soul Calibur 2 will be available through the Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, though only for Switch 2 owners.
The original Switch, launched in 2017 at $299, became one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43032811/nintendo-stock-hits-new-52-week-high-following-switch-2-announcement">best-selling consoles of all time</a>, with over 139 million units sold globally. Its unique hybrid design and innovative Joy-Cons revolutionized portable gaming, making it a staple for casual and hardcore gamers alike. The introduction of the OLED model in 2021 further expanded its appeal. 
Whether the Switch 2 can replicate the original's runaway success remains to be seen. Still, Nintendo's strong first-party lineup and continued hardware innovation put it in a competitive position for the next console generation.
Price Action: Nintendo shares gained 1.5% to $17.38 following Wednesday&#8217;s Nintendo Direct.

JetBlue Airways Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) flashed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/death-cross">a Death Cross</a>, and investors are bucking up for what's next. 
The ominous technical pattern — where the 50-day simple moving average falls below the 200-day simple moving average — is often a harbinger of prolonged bearish momentum.
Given JetBlue's already steep decline, this signals more turbulence ahead.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JetBlue Stock&#8217;s Rough Descent</h2>
JetBlue stock has plunged nearly 30% over the past year, with a staggering 35% drop year to date. The past month alone has erased nearly 26% of its value, making it one of the hardest-hit airline stocks. The numbers don't lie: JetBlue stock, at $4.78, is below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages.
Technicals paint a grim picture:
<ul>
<li>JetBlue stock's eight-day simple moving average (SMA) sits at $5.20, well above its current price &#8211; a bearish signal.</li>
<li>The 20-day SMA at $5.47 and the 50-day SMA at $6.24 further confirm the downward momentum.</li>
<li>The 200-day SMA at $6.28 suggests JetBlue stock has a long way to go before recovery.</li>
<li>A Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 29.94 places JetBlue stock firmly in oversold territory, hinting that selling pressure may be overextended.</li>
<li>Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at a negative 0.4 reinforces the bearish sentiment.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottoming Out Or More Pain To Come?</h2>
JetBlue stock hit a fresh 52-week low of $4.44 on April 1, and investors are left wondering if this is rock bottom or just another stop on the way down. The stock is undeniably weak, but there's a glimmer of hope—buying pressure is beginning to emerge, potentially laying the groundwork for a bullish reversal.
For now, the Death Cross cements JetBlue stock&#8217;s bearish trend, but with RSI in oversold territory, contrarian investors may see an opportunity. Is this the moment to go bullish, or will JetBlue remain stuck on the tarmac? 
The coming weeks will determine whether this turbulence is just temporary &#8211; or the sign of a long-haul downturn.

Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.

 </style>By carefully studying Apple, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
Notably, the current Price to Earnings ratio for this stock, 35.43, is 1.18x above the industry norm, reflecting a higher valuation relative to the industry.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 50.22 relative to the industry average by 10.27x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 8.63, which is 5.64x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of 58.74% is 50.21% above the industry average, highlighting efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $45.91 Billion, which is 117.72x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
The company has higher gross profit of $58.27 Billion, which indicates 73.76x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
With a revenue growth of 3.95%, which is much lower than the industry average of 22.16%, the company is experiencing a notable slowdown in sales expansion.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743606055_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a key indicator of a company's financial health and its reliance on debt financing.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When comparing Apple with its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights can be observed:
<ul>
<li>
Compared to its top 4 peers, Apple has a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 1.45, indicating a balanced financial structure.
</li>
<li>
This suggests that the company maintains a reasonable level of debt while also leveraging equity financing.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Apple, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all high compared to its peers in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry, indicating that the stock may be overvalued based on these metrics. On the other hand, Apple's high ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and low revenue growth suggest that the company is efficiently utilizing its resources and generating strong profits, despite slower revenue growth compared to industry peers.
