In the current market session, BP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) share price is at $31.20, after a 0.78% drop. Over the past month, the stock increased by 5.56%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 13.05%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable 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/2025/1737994656_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at BP 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 12.09 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, BP Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 31.41. Shareholders might be inclined to think that BP 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/2025/1737994656_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.

Shares of nuclear stocks are trading lower. The sector may be under pressure amid AI competition concerns from China's DeepSeek AI model, which has weighed on AI-related sectors.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-27_08h09_58.png" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">AI Race</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-deepseek-china-ai-tech-nvda-mc-01272025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows NVDA previously reached the low band of the micro resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows in the early trade, NVDA has fallen below the resistance zone, which was previously a support zone.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that NVDA is not oversold even with the drop this morning, indicating there is more room to the downside.</li>
<li>NVDA stock is falling in the early trade because of the publicity this weekend around an open source artificial intelligence large language model out of China called DeepSeek.&nbsp; There are reports that the cost of training DeepSeek was only $6M and used only 2,000 Nvidia chips.&nbsp; This is substantially cheaper compared to the tens of thousands of Nvidia chips and hundreds of millions of dollars U.S. companies have spent to build artificial intelligence large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT.&nbsp; While DeepSeek is creating concerns about cheaper competition, it is not clear that the capabilities are the same.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should note that DeepSeek's flagship model V3 was released in December.&nbsp; On January 20, a specialized model R1 was released by DeepSeek.&nbsp; The market was totally ignoring DeepSeek until it gained publicity this weekend.&nbsp; Previously, the market was ignoring DeepSeek due to the extreme positive sentiment.&nbsp; During periods of extreme positive sentiment, the stock market latches on to bullish news and ignores bearish news.</li>
<li>Investors were aggressively selling U.S. AI stocks and buying Chinese AI stocks in the early trade.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should be somewhat skeptical of DeepSeek claims.&nbsp; Remember the following:
<ul>
<li>DeepSeek is coming out of China.</li>
<li>DeepSeek seems to be heavily censored by the Chinese government.</li>
<li>Some are claiming that DeekSeek is connected to the Chinese Communist Party.</li>
<li>It is possible that DeepSeek may have used more computing power than it seems on the surface.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We have been sharing with you since 2022 that a fortune is to be made in AI all the way to 2030, but it will not be in a straight line.&nbsp; At times, it will be treacherous.&nbsp; What is happening this morning is an example of the treacherousness.&nbsp; You will need expert guidance.&nbsp; We have also been writing that money is to be made from both the long and short sides.&nbsp; This morning's selloff illustrates the wisdom of making money from both the long and short sides.</li>
<li>Trump hopium is beginning to meet reality.&nbsp; Until Friday, investors were focusing only on the positive side of Trump's agenda and totally ignoring the negative side of Trump's agenda.&nbsp; Over the weekend, when Columbia refused to let a U.S. military plane reportedly carrying immigrants land, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Columbian goods.&nbsp; Columbia quickly backed down and agreed to everything Trump wanted.&nbsp; This incident woke up some investors, while most investors are still asleep and unaware of the negative side of Trump's agenda.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should pay attention that privately Trump advisors are urging Trump to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as early as this Saturday.</li>
<li>Earnings ahead this week include Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Intel, Meta Platforms, Exxon Mobil and Southwest Airlines.</li>
<li>The Fed is also meeting this week.</li>
<li>In the early trade, as the momo crowd panics, institutional money is moving out of stocks and into the safety of Treasuries.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Amazon, Alphabet Class C, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is being sold along with tech stocks.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

China Appears To Leapfrog U.S. In AI, Investors Selling Nvidia And Buying Chinese AI Stocks

Editor's Note: Corrections have been made below to reflect updated information retrieved from representatives of Bill Gates' team.
Bill Gates is one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42258198/from-tech-to-climate-the-financial-impact-of-bill-gates-net-zero-vision">biggest supporters of fighting climate change</a>, but his use of private jets makes some people question his seriousness. Despite his efforts to fund carbon-cutting technologies and offset his emissions, Gates admits his carbon footprint is enormous – and his private jet habits are a big reason.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Four Jets and Frequent Flying</h2>
Gates owns a fleet of private aircraft worth an estimated $194 million. This includes two Gulfstream G650ERs, which cost $70 million each and two Bombardier Challenger 350s, valued at $27 million. According to <a href="https://simpleflying.com/bill-gates-private-jets-guide/">Simple Flying</a>, he also owns a Cessna Caravan seaplane and two helicopters registered under his company, MENTE LLC.
A representative from the private office of Bill Gates has clarified that he owns one Gulfstream jet and uses <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/sustainable-aviation-fuels">sustainable aviation fuel</a> for his flights. They have stated that references to additional aircraft in this article and the source story are inaccurate.

</ul>
Gates reportedly traveled on 392 private jet flights in 2022. This equates to multiple flights per day. Despite their convenience for someone with a hectic schedule, private jets are notorious for their high pollution output. CBS News cites the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, saying private and commercial jets account for 10% of U.S. transportation emissions.
Gates has defended himself by citing his attempts to offset his emissions when questioned about the inconsistency between his jet use and climate activism. He funds Climeworks, a Swiss company specializing in direct air capture (DAC), a technology that removes carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Gates claims his investment in Climeworks offsets far more than his family's carbon footprint.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critics Say Offsets Aren't Enough</h2>
While carbon offsets are helpful, some experts say they are not a perfect fix. The International Energy Agency <a href="https://www.iea.org/energy-system/carbon-capture-utilisation-and-storage/direct-air-capture">explains</a> that removing pollution from the air with this kind of technology is still very expensive and uses a lot of energy. It would be much better to stop the pollution from being created in the first place.
Critics and environmental groups say Gates&#8217; regular use of jets sends the wrong message, particularly when the wealthy are being closely examined for their oversize environmental impact. Events like the World Economic Forum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36830151/world-economic-forum-again-slammed-for-lecturing-everyday-citizens-about-climate-change-as-attendees">have sparked backlash</a>, with activists calling out billionaires for discussing climate solutions while traveling on private planes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gates' Own Admission</h2>
Gates has been surprisingly frank about his jet habits. In a 2021 60 Minutes interview, he admitted, "I probably have one of the highest greenhouse gas footprints on the planet … My personal flying alone is gigantic." Still, he says he tries to make up for it by using things like plant-based fuel for his jets, driving an electric car, installing solar panels at home and paying $7 million each year to offset his pollution.
Despite his efforts, critics believe Gates – and others like him, including Bezos (who also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42509430/jeff-bezos-with-a-fleet-of-four-private-jets-including-the-fastest-gulfstream-is-offloading-one-for-a-whoppi">owns four private jets</a>), Musk, Cuban, Swift and countless other billionaires and millionaires – need to lead by example, especially when urging the world to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DeepSeek Sparks AI Valuation Fears</h3>
The selloff was triggered by concerns that China's DeepSeek R1, an open-source AI model reportedly rivaling top U.S. models at a fraction of the cost, could erode pricing power and future growth prospects for U.S. AI firms. 
&#8220;The Stargate project was launched in part to assert the United States' global AI dominance and prevent China from taking the lead. If China already has the lead and is able to develop comparable AI products with cheaper, less dynamic chips and other inputs, it could result in a radical change in market perceptions,&#8221; analyst Michael Gayed said.
Goldman Sachs analyst Ronald Keung highlighted that cost-efficient Chinese AI firms could rapidly expand their global influence, challenging the massive capital expenditures made by U.S. tech giants.
Yet, not all analysts see this as a long-term negative. 
CJ Muse, a semiconductor analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, highlighted that DeepSeek's emergence could actually be bullish for Nvidia and the broader AI industry.
&#8220;DeepSeek R1 is actually very bullish for Nvidia,&#8221; Muse said on Bloomberg TV. &#8220;Their announcement means we are closer to AGI (artificial generative intelligence). That's bullish for the ubiquity of AI.&#8221;
Despite the stock plunge, Muse indicates that AI leaders will not cut capital expenditures anytime soon.
&#8220;They are not going to slow down spending. They want to win,&#8221; he said.
Ahead of this week&#8217;s key tech earnings, Muse doesn&#8217;t expect any material change in CapEx announcements from Meta, Microsoft, or Nvidia.
"The market has to digest the news and realize this is not a negative event," the analyst said. 
&#8220;China understands how important AI is for their economy,&#8221; Muse stated, indicating that the tech battle vis-à-vis the U.S. is going to be fierce.
&#8220;I wouldn't never bet against the engineer we have in the U.S.&#8221; he ended. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major Tech Earnings Reports Loom As AI Investors Seek Clarity</h3>
Four Magnificent Seven companies are reporting earnings this week, with investors closely watching whether AI spending remains robust despite growing competition.

Stocks are getting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">crushed this morning</a>. Shares of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are off by more than 10%.
It looks like they may continue to head lower. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
The catalyst for the selling is news from Chinese startup DeepSeek. It has made investors concerned that America is becoming less competitive in the AI industry.
DeepSeek launched a free open-source large language model. The company claims it was developed for less than $6 million in just two months. Last week DeepSeek released a reasoning model that reportedly outperformed OpenAI's in many tests conducted by third parties.

The move lower in NVIDIA has made it break the support around $129.75. This price action is bearish for stocks and suggests that the shares will continue to fall.

When a stock is declining, it means there are more shares available for sale than there are buyers. To attract buyers, sellers must lower their prices, which drives the stock into a downtrend.
If the stock drops to a support level, the situation changes. There is enough demand to absorb the supply. This is why selloffs end or pause when they reach them.
As you can see on the chart, there has recently been support for NVIDIA around the $130.00 level. The selloffs in December and early January ended when the shares reached this support. Each time, a rebound or rally followed.
Stocks tend to bounce off of support when some of the buyers who created the support become anxious. They are afraid they will be outbid by other buyers. They know the sellers will go to the buyer that is willing to pay the highest price and they don't want to miss the trade.
So, they increase the prices they are willing to pay. Other anxious buyers see this and do the same. It results in a snowball effect that moves the stock higher.
But now the support appears to have broken. The shares are trading below it.
This means the investors and traders who created the support with their buy orders have finished or canceled. With this large amount of demand taken off the market, sellers may be forced to knock the price down to draw them back into the market.
This could force NVIDIA even lower.
