Last Friday, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved Merck &amp; Co Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) Winrevair (sotatercept) for adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Sotatercept is used, in combination with other medicines, to treat PAH in adults with moderate or marked physical activity limitations and improve exercise capacity.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/sotatercept-approved-to-treat-adult-patients-with-pulmonary-arterial-hypertension-pah" rel="noreferrer noopener">recommended</a> dosing schedule is one injection every three weeks via self-administration.&nbsp;

In March 2024, the FDA approved&nbsp;Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk), for injection, 45mg, 60mg for adults with PAH to increase exercise capacity, improve WHO functional class, and reduce the risk of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37958211/mercks-11b-bet-pays-as-fda-approves-sotatercept-for-rare-lung-disease" rel="noreferrer noopener">clinical worsening events</a>.&nbsp;
A main study was conducted involving 323 patients with PAH. The study showed that sotatercept was more effective than placebo at improving the ability of adults with PAH to exercise. The main measure of effectiveness was the difference in the distance patients could walk in 6 minutes before and after treatment.
After 24 weeks of treatment, sotatercept given in addition to other PAH medicines, improved the distance patients could walk in 6 minutes by around 34 meters, compared with 1 meter in patients who received a placebo instead. The median (average) treatment difference between the sotatercept and placebo groups was 40.8 meters.
In November, Merck&nbsp;revealed topline results from the Phase 3 ZENITH study evaluating Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) functional class (FC) III or IV at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42169558/why-is-merck-stock-trading-higher-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">high risk of mortality</a>.
ZENITH met its primary endpoint of time to first morbidity or mortality event (all-cause death, lung transplantation, or PAH worsening-related hospitalization of ≥ 24 hours).
Price Action: MRK stock is up 0.56% at $100.04 at last check Thursday.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning First Citizens BancShares Stock In The Last 20 Years

In the current session, the stock is trading at $35.23, after a 0.53% spike. Over the past month, Antero Resources Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AR#NYSE">AR</a>) stock increased by 10.94%, and in the past year, by 51.55%. 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/2025/1735834508_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Antero Resources 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. 
Antero Resources has a better P/E ratio of 250.36 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 16.4 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that Antero Resources Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735834508_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.

China's Ministry of Commerce implemented new trade controls on Thursday targeting U.S. defense contractors and technologies, citing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42643821/biden-administration-initiates-trade-probe-on-chinese-legacy-chips"> national security concerns. </a>&nbsp;
The Details: In an escalation of ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce added 28 U.S. companies to an export control list and banned the export of dual-use items with both military and civilian applications to those companies.&nbsp;

China also added 10 companies to its Unreliable Entity List for participating in arms sales to Taiwan. Those companies are prohibited from doing any business in China and their executives may not enter or live in the country. Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) and RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) are among the companies affected.&nbsp;
Andrew Gilholm, a China expert at the consulting firm Control Risks,<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/business/china-us-companies-entity-list.html"> told the </a>New York Times that China has taken similar actions on these companies before.&nbsp;
"Most of this is probably at the symbolic level because so many of these entities were already subject to sanctions," Gilholm said.&nbsp;
"What we're seeing is the widening scope and number of entities being added in a single listing," he added.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The move is seen as retaliation to recent U.S. measures including the Biden administration&#8217;s restrictions on exports of advanced memory chips and chipmaking machinery to 140 Chinese companies and the addition of Chinese firms to the U.S. Department of Commerce&#8217;s Entity List.&nbsp;
China's new trade controls come just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House. Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42527567/pdds-temu-tops-ios-downloads-in-us-while-trump-wants-to-impose-100-tariffs-on-chinese-imports"> has pledged</a> to raise tariffs on China-made goods and could use those tariffs to push for a new trade deal with China.&nbsp;

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on Shark Tank, is never shy about sharing his financial wisdom. In a series of interviews, he's laid out clear, no-nonsense advice about how much money you need to live comfortably and ensure long-term financial security. Here are the key takeaways from O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s perspective.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $5 Million Milestone</h2>
O&#8217;Leary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inxY8Kxa2R4">says</a> the ultimate goal for financial security is to have $5 million saved. Why this specific amount? With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42396510/why-kevin-oleary-thinks-its-easier-getting-to-5-million-from-1-million-than-getting-your-first-milli">$5 million in the bank</a>, earning 6-7% annually can provide a steady income stream to support you and your family for life, regardless of what happens.

</ul>
"You can survive the rest of your life no matter what happens, and your family – you can take care of a lot of people," O&#8217;Leary explains. Once you reach that $5 million mark, O&#8217;Leary advises setting it aside and keeping it untouchable. After that, you're free to take risks with any additional money, investing it in opportunities that could grow your wealth further.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Is Enough?</h2>
While $5 million may be the ultimate target, O&#8217;Leary recognizes that not everyone needs that much to live comfortably. The amount depends on your lifestyle.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpVd9VmE7M">According</a> to O&#8217;Leary, with $500,000 in savings, you can generate 5% annual returns with minimal risk, enough to live modestly without needing additional income. If you&#8217;re comfortable with more risk, you could aim for returns of 8.5-9% by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-stocks">investing in equities</a>.
However, he strongly advises against pouring your money into risky ventures like family-owned restaurants, bowling alleys or bars. "You'll lose your money on that," he warns.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Save $100,000 by Age 33</h2>
For younger people wondering how to start building wealth, O&#8217;Leary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T1FtXpZjO8">suggests</a> a concrete first goal: save $100,000 by the time you're 33. He acknowledges this might sound daunting but insists it's doable by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-the-50-30-20">saving 20% of your paycheck</a> and investing it to grow at 5-7% annually.
O&#8217;Leary is willing to give you a break if you miss the target – you have until 35 to hit the milestone. Why 33? He calls it the tipping point – the age when saving becomes critical. &#8220;If you haven't saved anything by the time you're 33, you're way behind the 8-ball,&#8221; he says.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Hitting that $100,000 goal by 33 sets the stage for bigger milestones. O&#8217;Leary recommends aiming for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39993957/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-have-500-000-saved-for-retirement-shockingly-its-probably-l">$500,000 by retirement</a> at 60, breaking the decades into manageable saving and investing chunks.
Kevin O&#8217;Leary's advice concerns three key principles: save aggressively, invest wisely and avoid risky ventures. Whether your goal is $100,000, $500,000 or $5 million, the key is starting early and sticking to a plan.
"It's all about lifestyle," O&#8217;Leary says. Understanding your financial needs and making informed decisions now can ensure you're comfortable – and even thriving – later in life.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Looking into the current session, Parsons Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSN#NYSE">PSN</a>) shares are trading at $92.00, after a 0.27% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.35%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 48.58%. 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.

<h3>Parsons P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 35.06 in the Professional Services industry, Parsons Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 131.79. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Parsons Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued.

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.
