8 Analysts Assess Gaming and Leisure Props: What You Need To Know

In the current market session, Dynatrace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DT#NYSE">DT</a>) price is at $52.00, after a 1.48% increase. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 4.30%, and in the past year, by 10.18%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736949608_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Dynatrace 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. 
Dynatrace has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 183.8 of the Software 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/2025/1736949608_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.

Direxion CEO Douglas Yones shared some insights with Benzinga on how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">cryptocurrency</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">commodities</a> could benefit from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/2025-market-outlook-navigating-uncertainty-with-high-yield-strategies/">ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties</a>.
Despite traditional markets facing instability, Yones is optimistic about cryptocurrency's continued rise — especially Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). 
In 2024, "the top three new ETFs by AUM in the U.S. were all Bitcoin-related, and we expect this trend to continue,&#8221; he says.
President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s pro-crypto administration is expected to play a role in fueling further demand for digital assets. ETFs such as the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMBO#NYSE">LMBO</a>) and the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REKT#NYSE">REKT</a>) could see increasing interest as investors seek growth in this space.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Commodities As A Diversification Tool</h2>
Commodities are also expected to see heightened demand as a way to diversify portfolios beyond stocks and bonds.
"With U.S. equity valuations at lofty levels and inflation still persistent, commodities can potentially provide added diversification within an overall portfolio," Yones says. 
The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COM#NYSE">COM</a>) is one such option.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leveraged And Inverse ETFs For Flexibility</h2>
Traders would be wise to look at leveraged and inverse ETFs, too.
"ETFs, particularly leveraged and inverse ones, offer a flexible way to navigate the ups and downs of the market,&#8221; Yones says.
These ETFs can provide both bullish and bearish exposure. This makes them ideal for those seeking to capitalize on short-term market movements.

Consumer inflation surged for the third straight month in December, rekindling concerns that the months-long cooling of price pressures could be over and casting doubt on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ability to steer inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">toward its 2% target.</a>
The headline Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year-over-year in December, according to Wednesday&#8217;s data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This marks an increase from November's 2.7% and matches economist forecasts. Notably, it represents the third straight inflation increase and highest annual rate since July 2024.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.4%, up from both the previous month's 0.3% gain and the 0.3% predicted by analysts.
The energy index climbed 2.6% in December, contributing to over 40% of the monthly increase in overall prices, with the gasoline index rising 4.4% during the month.
Core inflation, which strips out the volatile food and energy categories, rose by 3.2% on a year-over-year basis, below the 3.3% estimate. Month-over-month, core prices marked a 0.2% increase, matching estimates.
Items that witnessed an increase in December include shelter, airline fares, used cars and trucks, new vehicles, motor vehicle insurance and medical care.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Yields, Dollar Tumble </h3>
Prior to the release of the CPI report, traders priced in one 25-basis-point rate cut by December 2025, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
The mixed December inflation data could keep hopes for more than one rate cut by year-end quite stretched.
Treasury yields tumbled in response to the data, with the policy-sensitive two-year yield down 9 basis points to 4.28%. The U.S. dollar also weakened, with a key index tracking the greenback falling 0.5% during the session.
Equity markets reacted with optimism. Pre-market futures on the S&amp;P 500 rallied 1.5%, while contracts tied to the Nasdaq 100 soared 1.6%. 
On Tuesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) inched up 0.1%, while the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) declined 0.1%.
