The D.O.G.E. meme coin, named after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43182640/elizabeth-warren-lists-changes-for-elon-musks-doge-department-urges-guantanamo-closure-due-to-hundreds-of-millions-in-annual-costs">Department of Government Efficiency</a>, is down 30% in a month, but traders still see a possibility for the meme coin to bounce back.
What Happened: Prominent trader Unipcs <a href="https://x.com/theunipcs/status/1882859338244440567">noted</a> on X on Friday that D.O.G.E> did not perform as expected due to the launch of Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), which pulled liquidity from the broader meme coin market—including Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) itself.
Before TRUMP's debut, both Doge-related meme coins appeared primed for new highs, but liquidity rotation and "sell-the-news" sentiment led to a major drawdown. 
Over the past month, D.O.G.E> has dropped 30%, while Dogecoin remains up 4%.
The trader argues that unlike most election-based meme coins, D.O.G.E. has a strong, lasting narrative that should continue gaining traction throughout Trump's administration. 
Elon Musk's ongoing meme involvement further adds to its credibility and potential longevity.

Looking into the current session, Carrier Global Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARR#NYSE">CARR</a>) shares are trading at $65.53, after a 0.66% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 4.75%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 17.26%. 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/2025/1738331113_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Carrier Global P/E Relative to Its 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 28.37 in the Building Products industry, Carrier Global Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 38.81. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Carrier Global 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/2025/1738331113_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.

The Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred inflation measure surged as predicted last month, quelling headwinds for the central bank&#8217;s goal of gradually reaching the 2% target, while a strong surge in personal spending continued to reiterate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">health of U.S. consumers.</a>
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 2.6% in December 2024 on a year-over-year basis, according to official data released on Thursday. This means an acceleration from the previous 2.4% but in line with economic forecasts of 2.6%, as tracked by TradingEconomics estimates.
It&#8217;s also the third consecutive increase in annual PCE inflation, following a low of 2.1% in September last year. On a monthly basis, the PCE price index rose 0.3%, up from 0.1% in the prior month, but in line with expectations.
Core PCE inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, held steady at 2.8% year over year, matching forecasts. On a monthly basis, core PCE rose 0.2%, also aligning with estimates.
In its December macroeconomic projections, the Federal Reserve raised its 2025 inflation outlook, expecting both headline and core PCE inflation to average 2.5% in 2025.
Meanwhile, personal income increased 0.4% month over month in January, accelerating from 0.3% in December, in line with expectations. 
&#8220;The increase in personal income in December primarily reflected an increase in compensation, led by private wages and salaries,&#8221; the Bureau of Economic Analysis wrote. 
Personal spending spiked 0.7%, up from the previous 0.6%, beating forecasts of 0.5% and marking the strongest increase since March 2024.
