Cantor Fitzgerald Maintains Overweight on Proto Labs, Raises Price Target to $50

The year 2025 promises to be one that sees retail investors gain the confidence to return to stocks and shares at scale, opening the door to investor-focused stocks surpassing their benchmarks. 
Despite being hampered by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41728751/even-as-inflation-cools-most-americans-cant-get-ahead-and-continue-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-r">rising cost of living</a> as inflation impacted their wealth in recent years, we're witnessing a return to relative stability for the year ahead, and the result could spark an increase in investors returning to stocks and shares.&nbsp;
While retail accounts for around one-fifth of Wall Street investors, we're seeing more fintech firms adapt their products and services to drive inclusivity. This means that the return of consumer confidence could form the perfect storm for retail visibility, reshaping IPO strategies, corporate governance, and how shareholder engagement works.&nbsp;
2024 saw more brokerages, fintech companies, and financial institutions launch new products that directly influence how retail investors invest their money and the profitability of their investments. 
Buoyed by the SEC's acceptance of Spot Bitcoin ETFs, retail now has unprecedented access to cryptocurrency investing, as well as efficient trading options for several popular stocks and shares.&nbsp;
Interest rate cuts can also help more retail investors identify the higher profit potential of stocks and shares in 2025. Data shows that over a 25-year period to 2023, the 583% return of global equities far outpaces the likes of global bonds and inflation, underlining its value in the retail landscape.  
This possible resurgence of retail investors is likely to see more retail-focused stocks enjoy a strong year ahead, and these three Wall Street players could be best-positioned to reap the rewards of a lucrative 2025 for retail activity:&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. SoFi (SOFI)</h2>
One of the biggest emerging trends in the fintech landscape is open banking, and SoFi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), short for Social Finance, offers one of the most comprehensive platforms for open banking services in operation today. 
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
Providing a solution that covers virtually all essential financial services such as personal loans, credit cards, insurance, estate planning, and stock investing, the challenger bank appears to have become a key innovator in the financial ecosystem.&nbsp;
The number of SoFi users has grown steadily from 2.52 million in 2020 to <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-no-brainer-fintech-stocks-buy-200-right-now">9.37 million by the third quarter</a> of 2024, and the digital bank clearly has plenty of room to grow further should it become a favorable location for retail investors to buy and sell their stocks and shares.&nbsp;
Having recently posted its first full-year GAAP profit since going public in 2021 in an expectation-beating earnings announcement, SoFi has a lot of strong fundamentals to draw on moving forward. For a stock that's still expanding its user base, there's a lot of expectation on the future prospects of this stellar fintech firm.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Block (XYZ)</h2>
Despite a tumultuous 2024 for Block (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) owing to some high-profile settlements for the security failings of its flagship Cash App product, the fintech giant still managed to close 2024 33% higher, beating the performance of the S&amp;P 500 in the process. 
For the year ahead, we can expect Cash App to overcome its challenges and become a retail investor hub for stocks and shares investing.&nbsp;
2025 has already gotten off to a strong start for the stock, which was upgraded by Raymond James analyst John Davison on January, 3, who allocated an ‘outperform' rating to the newly tickered XYZ thanks to a clearing merchant GPV outlook for Block. 
However, it's set to be Cash App that offers the best growth potential over the year ahead. With 57 million active users, the platform is an early iteration of the open banking infrastructure that we're set to see become more prevalent as fintech becomes more sophisticated in the years ahead.&nbsp;
For retail investors, Cash App offers comprehensive access to stocks and shares investing while providing a vast range of financial services. At a time when the cost of living is expected to calm to the point where users can finally make the most of all that Cash App has to offer, we could see Block go from strength to strength in the months ahead.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Robinhood (HOOD)</h2>
One of the world's most confounding retail investor stocks, Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) is another open banking-oriented platform that appears to be on a whirlwind trajectory on Wall Street.&nbsp;
2024 saw the stock rise more than 228%, and despite the fallout from the infamous GameStop saga in 2021 still weighing on retail investors&#8217; minds, the platform appears to remain as popular as ever for its commitment to innovation and a suite of impressive cryptocurrency trading options.&nbsp;
With the returning Donald Trump adopting a pro-crypto outlook for his second term in the White House, any positive movements within the industry are likely to trigger significant market growth for Robinhood. If forecasts suggesting Bitcoin could surpass $200k in 2025 prove to be correct, it's highly likely that HOOD will accelerate far beyond the S&amp;P 500 to post significant growth in the year ahead. 
The fintech giant appears to be focused on reinvesting its earnings into expansion throughout wider markets and recently announced the launch of margin trading in the United Kingdom. Should retail investors return to form in 2025, it's safe to assume Robinhood will be favored by many. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embracing Retail's Return</h2>
High inflation and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43564020/consumer-sentiment-sinks-economist-flags-unusually-large-rise-in-inflation-perception">interest rates</a> have confounded the power of retail investors to buy and sell stocks with the same enthusiasm exhibited back in 2021, but clearing economic conditions and a rapidly growing fintech landscape promise to drive more activity in 2025, and some of the ecosystem's most innovative stocks could be best-placed to reap the rewards.&nbsp;
With open banking-focused platforms particularly appealing to investors seeking stronger financial management, 2025 could be a year to remember for fintech stocks on Wall Street.

Inquiry Into Meta Platforms's Competitor Dynamics In Interactive Media &amp; Services Industry

Amidst the fast-paced and highly competitive business environment of today, conducting comprehensive company analysis is essential for investors and industry enthusiasts. In this article, we will delve into an extensive industry comparison, evaluating Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in comparison to its major competitors within the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. By analyzing critical financial metrics, market position, and growth potential, our objective is to provide valuable insights for investors and offer a deeper understanding of company's performance in the industry.
<h3>Apple Background</h3>
Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. 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.

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.
By considering the Debt-to-Equity ratio, Apple can be compared to its top 4 peers, leading to the following observations:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Apple is placed in the middle with a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 1.45.

Comparing Apple With Industry Competitors In Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals Industry

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban recently had a lot to say about the Department of Government Efficiency and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43442302/elon-musk-says-elizabeth-warren-is-meddling-with-trillions-in-us-treasury-via-his-unqualified-flunkies">recent initiatives</a>.&nbsp;
Cuban initially <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lhkrgzkjnc2z">speculated</a> that Elon Musk's team might have been pulling data from USAspending.gov—a public database tracking federal spending—then presenting it as if they had uncovered wasteful expenses themselves. At first, he found the move "brilliant," even comparing it to Donald Trump's tactics, saying, &#8220;Fooled me. Very Trump like too.&#8221; But his opinion quickly changed.
"Not so brilliant," Cuban wrote in a follow-up <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lhksayzfks2z">post</a> on Bluesky, responding to criticism that DOGE had burned through nearly $7 million in taxpayer funds in just a week. A<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lhksayzfks2z"> Roll Call article</a> that Cuban shared reported that money was allocated for &#8220;Software Modernization Initiative.&#8221;&nbsp;

</ul>
As a House Democratic aide explained to the outlet, the DOGE is getting money &#8220;to perform work on the agencies' behalf and using their money to pay for it.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Did The Money Go?</h2>
DOGE was established under a Trump executive order, replacing the U.S. Digital Service and giving Musk authority over government-wide IT upgrades and spending reviews. But critics argue that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43527354/elon-musks-expanding-government-role-far-beyond-appropriate-gop-senator-warns">does much more</a>—giving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43497170/ex-spacex-engineer-with-musk-ties-granted-high-level-treasury-access-lawmakers-raise-red-flags">Musk access to sensitive government data</a> in his quest to shut down federal programs.
According to data made public by the Office of Management and Budget, the funding—$6.75 million so far—came in two chunks:
<ul>
<li>$750,000 on Jan. 27</li>
<li>$6 million on Jan. 30</li>

A notable change in DOGE's funding structure is that it now has its own Treasury account, independent of the Information Technology Oversight and Reform budget.
A White House official claimed this was just a continuation of funds previously allocated to the U.S. Digital Service. However, the lack of transparency around how DOGE is using the money has raised concerns.
Meanwhile, top Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are working on legislation to block Musk's access to federal data.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mark Cuban Calls for Transparency</h2>
In a third <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lhk4pm43n22w">post</a>, Cuban challenged DOGE directly: "If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing." His statement reflects growing demands for clarity on Musk's role and DOGE's activities.
Adding to the controversy, reports suggest Musk has assembled a small <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43549516/elon-musk-led-doges-marko-elez-who-had-treasury-payment-access-resigns-over-racist-social-media-posts">team of young engineers</a>, some unpaid, alongside experienced IT professionals and Trump allies like Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.&nbsp;
As questions grow about DOGE&#8217;s transparency and spending, lawmakers and the public will be watching closely to see whether Musk&#8217;s government influence will face new restrictions or continue to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43417749/elon-musks-aides-block-government-workers-from-federal-data-systems-report">reshape federal operations</a>.

 </style>By carefully studying NVIDIA, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
At 51.26, the stock's Price to Earnings ratio is 0.79x less than the industry average, suggesting favorable growth potential.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 48.25, which is 7.57x the industry average, NVIDIA might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
With a relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 28.5, which is 2.98x the industry average, the stock might be considered overvalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 31.13%, which is 27.06% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.86 Billion is 0.64x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has lower gross profit of $26.16 Billion, which indicates 0.84x below the industry average, potentially indicating lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 93.61% is notably higher compared to the industry average of 7.04%, showcasing exceptional sales performance and strong demand for its products or services.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739199611_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio helps evaluate the capital structure and financial leverage of a company.
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.
By evaluating NVIDIA against its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following observations arise:
<ul>
<li>
When comparing the debt-to-equity ratio, NVIDIA is in a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a lower level of debt relative to its equity, indicating a more favorable balance between the two with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value and sales. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and high revenue growth highlight NVIDIA's strong profitability and growth potential relative to its industry competitors.
