$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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735833608_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735833608_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

&#8221;Our progress also expands beyond this vertical, having just announced that we will begin shipping our Home Energy Storage Solutions to our key integration partner, Wellspring Solar, in January 2025.&#8221;

<h3>Capital Southwest P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Capital Southwest has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 17.14 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Deckers Outdoor 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese stocks</a> — including Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) — are trading lower Thursday as they resumed trading after New Year's Day.
China's Caixin/S&amp;P Global manufacturing purchasing managers' index for December fell to 50.5, below the analyst consensus of 51.7, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/02/asia-markets-set-to-resume-trading-after-new-year-day-holiday.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> a Reuters poll. 
The index compared to 51.5 in November and 50.3 in October, reflecting a slowdown as exports weighed on demand amid intensifying geopolitical tensions with the West in the form of a semiconductor embargo from the U.S. along with concerns over possible tariffs as threatened by President-elect Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns, CNBC cites Wang Zhe of Caixin Insight Group.

The official PMI for December,&nbsp;released Tuesday, came in at 50.1, below consensus estimates.
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) and KraneShares Trust KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), which represent Chinese equities, traded lower Thursday despite President Xi Jinping's assurances of policies to support economic growth during his New Year address.
China will reportedly increase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42671739/chinese-stocks-surge-on-stimulus-plans-to-counter-us-tariff-risks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">special treasury bond</a> issuance to 3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) in 2025. That&#8217;s up from 1 trillion yuan in 2024, to counter potential U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.
China plans to boost consumption through subsidy programs for trading in old cars or appliances and upgrading large-scale equipment.
The funds will support investments in railways, airports, electric vehicles, robotics, semiconductors, green energy, and state bank recapitalization.
