Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is trading around $95,500, down 3.4% over the past 24 hours, as on-chain data and whale activity suggest predictions of an imminent bear market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">lack substantial evidence</a>.  
What Happened:  Ki Young Ju, founder of CryptoQuant, pointed out in a <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1872207964352004106">post</a> on X on Dec. 26 that whale accumulation, once market-moving news, has now become a routine phenomenon. 
This indicates a market dominated by institutional players, while retail investors remain hesitant.
A $7 billion weekly capital inflow confirms Bitcoin is in a bull cycle, not a bubble. 
A true bubble—marked by a market price far exceeding capital inflows—would spark warnings of a cyclical top, which analysts have yet to issue.
Brief corrections of up to 30% are possible but unlikely to derail the ongoing bull cycle. The cycle's peak is still distant, and predictions of a bear market lack support from on-chain data.
In another post on the same day, he <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1872162768570425845">revealed</a> whales are increasingly utilizing privacy transactions for accumulation. 
Of the 1.55 million BTC accumulated in 2024 through ETFs, MicroStrategy,and custodial wallets, 240,000–420,000 BTC remain unaccounted for, signalling large, unidentified buyers.

Why It Matters: Traders maintain their optimism around upcoming price patterns for the crypto king.
Crypto trader Jelle sees the recent Bitcoin volatility as insignificant in the bigger picture. 
The trend remains upward, with dips acting as minor speed bumps. He advised his followers to "stay focused."

AmpliTech Group shares are trading lower after the company announced the pricing of a $5.8 million registered direct offering for 1.87 million shares at $3.10 per share.

What To Know: At the beginning of December, KULR announced plans to include Bitcoin as a primary asset in its treasury program. The company said that it planned to allocate up to 90% of its surplus cash to Bitcoin.

On Thursday, KULR announced that it purchased 217.18 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BTC-USD">Bitcoin</a> for approximately $21 million. The purchases were made at an average price of $96,556.53 per Bitcoin.

In the current market session, Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XEL#NASDAQ">XEL</a>) share price is at $68.58, after a 0.54% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.37%, but in the past year, increased by 9.74%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735223411_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Xcel Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Xcel Energy has a better P/E ratio of 20.24 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 17.84 of the Electric Utilities industry. Ideally, one might believe that Xcel Energy Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735223411_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.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks With Over 5% Dividend Yields

Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday following reports the company is targeting higher <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/12/42680713/tesla-toyota-and-3-stocks-to-watch-heading-into-thursday">return-on-equity</a>. 
What To Know: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/toyota-shares-gain-second-day-after-report-on-roe-target?embedded-checkout=true">report</a> citing Nikkei Asia, Toyota shares jumped on Thursday morning on reports the Japanese automaker is planning to significantly increase its target for return-on-equity. 
A Toyota executive reportedly said the company plans to double its target to around 20%, although the unspecified executive noted that the company has not set an &#8220;explicit target&#8221; or deadline for its goal.
"The company would need to boost earnings from the value chain, in order to further propel profit margins upward," Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities analyst Shinji Kakiuchi reportedly said in a new note.
"We'll also be watching for Toyota, as a part of moves to improve capital efficiency, to take funds from selling its equity holdings to bolster shareholder returns further."

When deciding whether to buy a stock, there are some key fundamentals investors may want to consider. One of these factors is revenue growth. Buying a stock is essentially a bet that the business will continue to grow and generate profits in the future.
Toyota Motor has reported average annual revenue growth of 6.86% over the past five years.
It's also important to pay attention to valuation when deciding whether to buy a stock. Toyota Motor has a forward P/E ratio of 9.49. This means investors are paying $9.49 for each dollar of expected earnings in the future. The average forward P/E ratio of Toyota Motor's peers is 37.96.
Other important metrics to look at include a company's profitability, balance sheet, performance relative to a benchmark index and valuation compared to peers. For in-depth analysis tools and important financial data, check out <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a>.

<h3>Domino's Pizza 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. 
Domino's Pizza has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 81.76 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.

OptiNose shares are trading lower after the company announced a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/big-banks?page=5" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major U.S. banks</a>, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), filed a lawsuit against the Federal Reserve on Tuesday, challenging the transparency of its annual stress test procedures.
Leading banking and business organizations, including the Bank Policy Institute (BPI), American Bankers Association (ABA), U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Bankers League, and Ohio Chamber of Commerce, joined the <a target="_blank" href="https://bpi.com/banks-and-business-groups-file-legal-challenge-against-federal-reserve-over-flawed-stress-testing-framework/" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuit </a>against the Federal Reserve. These tests, which assess banks&#8217; resilience during economic crises, are a cornerstone of financial risk management. However, the plaintiffs argue that the current system violates federal law by excluding required public input.
The litigation addresses long-standing concerns about the opacity of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s stress testing procedures, which the plaintiffs claim lead to excessive and volatile capital requirements. These charges, they say, hinder banks&#8217; ability to lend, support households and businesses, and contribute to economic growth. While acknowledging the importance of stress testing, the groups emphasize the need for reforms to create a fairer and more predictable regulatory environment.
Greg Baer, CEO of the BPI, stated that the current regime results in inaccurate and excessive capital charges, which reduce lending and stifle economic growth.
Rob Nichols, CEO of the ABA, criticized the stress tests for shielding critical supervisory models from public scrutiny.
Michael Adelman, CEO of the Ohio Bankers League, stressed that the lawsuit is about enforcing compliance with federal laws.
Tom Quaadman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce highlighted the detrimental effects of the current system on small businesses, which rely on bank lending for growth.
The lawsuit follows the Fed&#8217;s <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/bcreg20241223a.htm">recent </a>announcement to overhaul its stress test regime and seek public input on proposed changes in early 2025, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/banks-sue-federal-reserve-over-lack-of-transparency-in-stress-testing-0db6a002" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The lawsuit highlights the economic implications of unexpected capital burdens, stating they could impose &#8220;billions of dollars&#8221; in costs and negatively impact the broader economy.
The banks also noted that a statute of limitations on stress-test rule changes will expire in February, prompting their decision to file the suit now.
The latest test assessed how banks would manage a 40% decline in commercial real estate prices and a 36% drop in house prices.
The Federal Reserve evaluates these results to determine the total capital banks need to absorb potential losses, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/56def327-dbf7-42f1-8aba-218259ebd4a1" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, banks have faced increased regulatory scrutiny, including stringent capital requirements.
Executives like Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America have criticized these rules for driving financial activities into less transparent markets.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s Vice Chair for Supervision, Michael Barr, had proposed raising capital requirements for large banks but delayed those plans following industry opposition.
Six leading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39506407/6-biggest-us-banks-ramp-up-buybacks-undeterred-by-stress-tests" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. banks, including</a> JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and Citigroup repurchased over $14 billion in shares in the first quarter.
In June, Bank of America analyst Ebrahim H. Poonawala criticized the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39531404/bank-of-america-analyst-highlights-fed-stress-test-opacity-varying-bank-impacts-gol" rel="noreferrer noopener">stress test process</a>, highlighting its &#8220;inherent opacity.&#8221; These evaluations, which assess banks&#8217; resilience under severe economic scenarios, revealed varying impacts on capital requirements. Poonawala noted that while banks demonstrated adequate buffers, the tests showed higher-than-expected losses.
In June, JPMorgan analyst Vivek Juneja analyzed the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39536951/bank-stress-tests-much-bigger-surprise-than-expected-will-delay-future-investment-p" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">annual stress test results</a>, highlighting larger-than-expected increases in stress capital buffers for major banks. He noted that the elevated capital requirements could delay or reduce long-term capital return strategies for these institutions.

Top 2 Health Care Stocks You May Want To Dump This Quarter

HGTV home renovation stars Jonathan and Drew Scott – best known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41601236/property-brothers-say-in-20-years-no-young-person-will-be-able-to-afford-a-home">the Property Brothers –</a> are fearful that Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs could send construction costs soaring.
The brothers' native Canada, along with Mexico, has been in the President-elect&#8217;s tariff crosshairs, threatening that if both countries don&#8217;t stop the flow of migrants and drugs into the U.S., they will be hit economically through trade tariffs.
&#8220;Jonathan and I love the idea of domestic-made products,&#8221; real estate agent Drew Scott, one-half of the 6ft 5&#8243; identical twins, told<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-12-17/property-brothers-turned-reality-tv-home-renovation-craze-into-a-business-empire"> </a>Bloomberg. &#8220;There is a balance we need to strike,&#8221; Jonathan, the contractor of the two, added. &#8220;Blanket tariffs are not good for any economy,&#8221; he said. If those tariffs include essential building products such as steel and lumber, the results could be devastating for homeowners looking to renovate and the construction industry, causing newly built homes to increase prices sharply.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A $2.8 Billion Home Goods Empire and $200 Million Net Worth</h2>
The Scott Brothers have a lot at stake. They have a $2.8 billion home goods brand empire but, as TV hosts, they also have the added benefit of not simply relying on selling products to pay the bills. &#8220;We&#8217;ve made money in every kind of market possible,&#8221; Drew said. &#8220;Upmarket, down markets, buyer&#8217;s seller&#8217;s markets, it doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;
The brothers feel that extensive renovation projects and house flips will likely take a back seat in 2025 if interest rates do not come down. A trade war will only exacerbate things. The Scotts have plenty of outlets to invest their $200 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth) net worth if house flips falter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Endorsement Magnets And Multiple Real Estate Reality TV Shows</h2>
They have created a fixer-upper reality TV empire, with dozens of HGTV shows, books and even a cruise under their umbrella. In addition, the Scotts have, according to Variety,<a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/property-brothers-interview-billion-dollar-lifestyle-empire-1235439674/"> </a>multiple endorsements, appearing in ads for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42489378/whats-going-on-with-jpmorgan-chase-shares">Chase Bank</a>, LendingTree, ADT security, Dish Network and American Family Insurance, to name a few. The LA-based production company, Scott Brothers Entertainment, is home to their many TV shows. At the same time, their retail and e-commerce home-furnishing product lines are ubiquitous in multiple retail outlets such as Living Spaces, Macy's, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/12/42619016/home-depots-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know">Home Depot</a>, Lowe&#8217;s, Wayfair and Amazon. They also have a &#8220;Property Brothers Home Design&#8221; mobile app that debuted in 2019 with publisher Storm8. Everything is housed under their multibillion-dollar business, Scott Brothers Global.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Venture Capital Fund</h2>
In addition, the brothers have created The Healthy Home Innovation Fund, a VC fund for home-related businesses and innovations.
&#8220;We said, &#8216;Well, why don&#8217;t we create a fund where we&#8217;re actually putting our money where our mouth is, find these young talents, get their ideas through our machine and to the next level?'&#8221; Jonathan told<a href="https://www.inc.com/chloe-aiello/the-property-brothers-built-a-multibillion-dollar-empire-now-theyre-helping-other-entrepreneurs.html"> I</a>nc.com. &#8220;And that&#8217;s the goal.&#8221;
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The brothers founded the Healthy Home Innovation Fund with GroundBreak Ventures and partner Sanders Lee in 2024. It is raising $50 million to $80 million to deploy to startups developing the latest technology for sustainable home improvement.
&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s decarbonizing your house, heat pumps, air quality in your home, how you transact, buy, sell, renovate or design – anything that touches home fits our pillars,&#8221; Drew added, explaining that he and Jonathan are &#8220;leveraging our brand and our facial awareness to help scale up some of these startups to really make them known, so we can bring the price points down to make it feasible for families.&#8221;
Tariffs or not, the Property Brothers' home renovation empire seems unlikely to crumble anytime soon.
