Last month Spire Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SR#NYSE">SR</a>) reported a higher-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42121527/spire-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-after-q4-results">loss for its fiscal fourth quarter</a>.
The current Street expectations do not fully reflect the company's 2025 rate case, which is likely to go into effect in early fiscal 2026, according to Mizuho Securities.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e57c912ece4e60001208ad5/gabriel-moreen">Analyst Gabriel Moreen</a> upgraded the rating on Friday for Spire from Neutral to Outperform, while raising the price target from $65 to $76.
The Spire Thesis: Investor sentiment for Spire Missouri could turn positive, as uncertainties reduce, Moreen said in the upgrade note.

"Although the relationship between Spire Missouri and its regulators has experienced periodic volatility, we believe there are reasons for a constructive case outcome," he added.
Spire Missouri, which accounts for around 45% of Spire's total operating income, delivered significantly lower returns from fiscal 2022 to 2024 than it had averaged over the preceding three years, the analyst stated. Even if the subsidiary earns around 8.1%, which is still below the average, "it would rebase Missouri growth to a y/y +30% net income increase into FY26," he further noted.
With this, Spire's target of 5%-7% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) "could finally prove sustainable and narrow the expanding valuation gap between SR and its LDC peers," Moreen added.
SR Price Action: Shares of Spire remained broadly flat at around $66.69at the time of publication on Monday.

In the current market session, SLM Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>) stock price is at $26.78, after a 3.63% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 0.73%, and in the past year, by 44.53%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating SLM P/E in Comparison to Its 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 35.77 in the Consumer Finance industry, SLM Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.58. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734965120_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.

A Look Into SLM Inc's Price Over Earnings

The irony here is impossible to ignore. Bill Gates, whose legacy includes making email an essential part of modern life, now texts his youngest daughter, Phoebe, to let her know he's sent her an email. Yes, the same Bill Gates who cofounded<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/39084795/bill-gates-66-000-sq-ft-mansion-features-a-trampoline-room-and-24-bathrooms-but-was-dubbed-a-nightma"> Microsoft</a> and made tools like Outlook a household name is being told by his 22-year-old daughter that email is ancient history.
"When I asked her why not, she said, ‘No one uses email for personal communications anymore. Just text me,'" Gates wrote in a blog post on Sept. 18, promoting his new Netflix docuseries What's Next? The Future with Bill Gates.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
</ul>
His response? That was a classic dad move. "I ended up meeting her halfway," he explained. "These days, I text her to say that I'm sending her an email."
The exchange is a modern twist on the age-old generational divide, but Gates isn't bitter about it. He says this adaptation has improved their relationship. "We've ended up talking more on the phone," he shared, which is a small win for a dad navigating the ever-evolving communication preferences of Gen Z.
This wasn't the only moment of blunt honesty between father and daughter. Gates called his conversations with Phoebe, featured in the new series, his "favorite" part of the project. "Few people in your life can be as direct with you as your own children," he wrote, reflecting on the lessons he learned from her about social media, how to avoid trolls and the importance of exposing yourself to different viewpoints.

Phoebe, a Stanford graduate and co-founder of the digital fashion platform Phia, didn't hold back when discussing what's outdated. In addition to email, Facebook also made the list of things she doesn't bother with.
"The important lesson (for me, at least) is that no one uses Facebook or email anymore," Gates admitted.
It's a surprising acknowledgment from someone who built his empire on technology, but Gates seems genuinely open to learning – even from his kids. "I've always thought of myself as a student trying to get to the bottom of things," he wrote. "A good day for me is one where I go to sleep with just a little bit more knowledge than I had when I woke up in the morning."
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>
While Phoebe may not use email, most of Gen Z still does. According to Statista, about 94% of Gen Z individuals in the U.S. reported relying on email communications as of January 2022. However, she nailed it when it comes to Facebook. Engagement among young adults and teens has dropped significantly. The Verge reports that while half of teens say they're "almost constantly" online, only 32% of U.S. teens use Facebook – a dramatic decline from 71% just a decade ago.
Gates also couldn't hide his pride in Phoebe, calling her an "incredible advocate for women's rights and women's health." He wrote, "I can't wait to see how her advocacy work will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42438799/bill-gates-predicts-ai-in-the-workforce-will-lead-to-so-much-leisure-time-but-itll-create-a-what-do-we-do-with-all-that-time-problem">make a difference in the world – </a>and hear what she thinks of What's Next? now that it's out."
The man who helped the world transition to digital communication is now rethinking his habits, one text message at a time. It's an unexpected twist, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39228376/bill-gates-could-be-the-worlds-first-trillionaire-if-he-had-diamond-handed-his-microsoft-shares-hed">Gates seems to be embracing it,</a> quirks and all.
