In the current market session, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>) share price is at $33.05, after a 1.82% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 0.67%, but in the past year, increased by 82.82%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>How Does Kratos Defense &amp; Security P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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 90.56 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 324.6. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued.

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.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

FFIE

Faraday Future shares are trading higher after the company announced that FF China will ship two FX 6 prototype mules to its Los Angeles headquarters later this month.

On Monday, Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXSM#NASDAQ">AXSM</a>) signed a settlement agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>).
The settlement resolves all patent litigation related to Axsome&#8217;s Auvelity (dextromethorphan HBr – <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43588347/axsome-therapeutics-announces-settlement-agreement-resolving-auvelity-dextromethorphan-hbr-bupropi" rel="noreferrer noopener">bupropion HCl) product</a>.
Auvelity is approved in the U.S. for major depressive disorder.
The litigation resulted from Teva submitting an Abbreviated New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of Auvelity in the U.S. before the expiration of applicable Axsome patents.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Axsome will grant Teva a license to sell its generic version of Auvelity beginning on or after March 31, 2039, if pediatric exclusivity is granted for Auvelity, or on or after September 30, 2038, if no pediatric exclusivity is granted.
The parties will terminate all ongoing litigation between Axsome and Teva regarding Auvelity patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In January, Axsome Therapeutics reported preliminary Auvelity net product sales are expected to be approximately $92.6 million and $291.4 million for the fourth quarter and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42940823/axsome-therapeutics-provides-preliminary-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-net-revenue" rel="noreferrer noopener">full year of 2024, respectively</a>.
Recently, the FDA approved Axsome Therapeutics&#8217; Symbravo&nbsp;(meloxicam and rizatriptan) for the acute treatment of migraine with or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43351848/axsome-therapeutics-announces-fda-approval-of-symbravo-meloxicam-and-rizatriptan-for-the-acute-tre" rel="noreferrer noopener">without aura in adults</a>.
&#8220;Axsome is our top pick for 2025,&#8221; William Blair writes. Analyst Myles Minter reiterates the Outperform rating based on favorable litigation settlement and clarity on Auvelity&#8217;s generic launch timing.
&#8220;We also remain impressed with the Auvelity launch, which showed 15% growth in revenue over the prior quarter and is annualizing about $370 million after two years of launch,&#8221; William Blair adds.
Axsome now has three commercial products with the approval of Symbravo for migraines. While investors are mainly watching Auvelity's rollout for depression and its potential use in Alzheimer's-related agitation, analyst Minter writes Symbravo's potential in treating acute migraines is being overlooked.
William Blair also views Axsome as a takeout candidate with Johnson &amp; Johnson buying Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/42948170/like-bristol-myers-squibb-and-abbvie-johnson-johnson-seeks-to-bolster-neuropsychiatric-portfolio-with-15-billion-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $14.6 billion</a>.
Needham analyst Ami Fadia reiterates Axsome Therapeutics with a Buy and maintains a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$133 price target</a>.

<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.

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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Williams-Sonoma's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 17.49%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(CPT) - Analyzing Camden Prop Trust's Short Interest

Elon Musk's latest venture isn't a new electric car or a space mission—it's a full-scale shakeup of the U.S. government. As head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has been slashing federal spending in ways that have never been attempted before. Investor Kevin O'Leary believes most Americans are fine with it, even though he expected Congress to push back much harder.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">O'Leary: People Are Fine With Musk's Cuts</h2>

</ul>
O'Leary, known for his blunt opinions, recently spoke out on social media and in a Fox News <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2kBmnNK7k">interview</a>, defending Musk's approach. He described the federal government as bloated and inefficient, saying, "Everybody knows the dirty little secret about government—it drips with fat."&nbsp;
According to O'Leary, taxpayers approve of Musk "going in there with a spatula and scraping out billions of dollars" from federal agencies because they see it as much-needed efficiency rather than reckless cost-cutting. &#8220;And people are OK with it. After all, it&#8217;s taxpayers&#8217; money. That&#8217;s why he&#8217;s getting a lot of slack, even though he&#8217;s a controversial guy,&#8221; he continued.
O'Leary also noted that Musk isn't facing the level of resistance from Congress that many expected. "I thought he'd get a lot more pushback from Congress, and he's not," O'Leary said. "Look at the executional skills he has. There's nobody like him. Let him do his thing."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Congress and Critics Push Back</h2>
While supporters have praised Musk&#8217;s relentless cost-cutting, lawmakers, federal employees, and legal experts have expressed grave concerns. Some members of Congress, particularly Democrats, are worried about DOGE's access to sensitive financial systems and its broad authority.
Several legal challenges have been filed against Musk's agency, with a federal judge recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43539572/musk-allies-face-treasury-data-limits-as-judge-steps-in">blocking DOGE</a> from accessing certain Treasury Department records. Lawmakers have also launched investigations into how DOGE is being run, questioning whether Musk is acting within legal limits or simply bypassing oversight.

Public protests have erupted in Washington, D.C., with demonstrators accusing Musk of overstepping his authority. Some argue that, while government spending could be made more efficient, Musk's approach lacks transparency and could put essential services at risk.
