RBC Capital Reiterates Outperform on Veren, Maintains C$10 Price Target

Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, discussed the rise of branded &#8220;meme coins&#8221; like those tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trump-coin-price-prediction">Donald and Melania Trump</a>.
What Happened: Speaking with CNBC on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_2I5B26DbA">Tuesday</a>, Pompliano likened meme coins to digital trading cards—speculative assets with value primarily driven by branding and perceived scarcity rather than underlying business fundamentals.

Commenting on Trump and Melania Coins, he described them as examples of leveraging strong personal brands in the digital financial space. 
He noted that Trump's track record in business and his widely recognized personal brand amplify investor interest, even amid concerns about the coins&#8217; financial foundation or potential conflicts of interest.
Pompliano explained that perceived scarcity often contributes to the value of these coins, much like Bitcoin or rare art, but their speculative nature makes them highly volatile. 
He urged investors to critically assess the long-term value of such assets.

Why It Matters: Pompliano highlighted how retail investors play a pivotal role in propelling these assets, much like Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) meteoric rise despite its origins as a joke. 
He contrasted this retail enthusiasm with institutional acceptance of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which has gained legitimacy as a digital asset.
However, he cautioned that meme coins, including Trump-themed tokens, lack tangible business backing and pose significant investment risks. 
Critics, such as Dave Portnoy, have likened some meme coins to Ponzi schemes, further emphasizing the need for caution
Pompliano also highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42815711/bitcoin-is-the-the-grand-daddy-and-outshines-wall-street-anthony-pompliano-says">dominance as a legitimate investment</a>, noting its superior performance compared to traditional assets like the S&amp;P 500, gold and Berkshire Hathaway.

RBC Capital Reiterates Outperform on Northland Power, Maintains C$28 Price Target

In the current session, the stock is trading at $20.83, after a 1.26% spike. Over the past month, Plains All American Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAA#NASDAQ">PAA</a>) stock increased by 23.69%, and in the past year, by 29.86%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737569711_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Plains All American 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 32.73 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Plains All American Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.2. 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/2025/1737569711_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.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Plains All American

On Tuesday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/jim-crame-taiwan-semis-bullish-earnings-revives-optimism.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC&#8217;s&nbsp;Jim Cramer</a> called out the market reaction to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43099745/taiwan-semiconductor-touts-1-5-billion-in-us-subsidies-confident-trump-will-maintain-chips-act-backing" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly print</a>. The sector, especially capital equipment companies, got a boost from the chipmaker&#8217;s report and guidance.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported&nbsp;fourth-quarter revenue&nbsp;of $26.88 billion, up by 39%, topping the analyst consensus of $26.28 billion.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/01/43110913/apples-iphone-dependence-remains-but-services-wearables-offer-growth-potential-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple&#8217;s iPhone Dependence Remains, But Services, Wearables Offer Growth Potential: Analyst</a>
The gross margin was 59%, up 600 bps, backed by its 3-nm and 5-nm technologies.
The company expects first-quarter 2025 revenue of $25.0 billion—$25.8 billion, compared to the&nbsp;$24.97 billion consensus estimate. It has also earmarked $38 billion—$42 billion in fiscal 2025 capex versus the actual fiscal 2024 capex of $29.8 billion.&nbsp;
Taiwan Semiconductor shared plans to boost manufacturing capabilities, marking its focus on advanced process technologies.
Cramer correlated advanced process technologies with equipment catering to Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs and other accelerators. Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plan to boost capex on equipment triggered a rally in its supplier stocks, including&nbsp;Applied Materials, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>),&nbsp;Lam Research&nbsp;Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), and&nbsp;KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>), Cramer reasoned. However, the rally reflected investor conviction on the companies&#8217; prospects.
Cramer also attributed the rally to investor expectations that the Trump administration would soften some of the Biden government&#8217;s advanced semiconductor technology embargo as the former took charge on Monday.
Taiwan Semiconductor won a $1.5 billion grant from the U.S. for its semiconductor facilities in Arizona, where the chipmaker has invested over $65 billion.
Trump verbally attacked Taiwan Semi during&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43053982/taiwan-semiconductor-chief-calls-us-semiconductor-sanctions-manageable-to-skip-trump-inauguration" rel="noreferrer noopener">his presidential campaign</a> for allegedly&nbsp;undermining America&#8217;s chip industry. He also criticized the U.S. CHIPS Act and promised to slap tariffs on Taiwanese chips.
Recently, Taiwan Semiconductor chief C.C. Wei dismissed concerns over U.S. AI sanctions, calling them &#8220;manageable.&#8221; He voiced the chipmaker&#8217;s focus on advanced packaging, citing that non-AI sectors like automotive and crypto mining remain unaffected by sanctions.
Bernstein analyst Rupal Agarwal reiterated an Outperform rating on Taiwan Semiconductor with a $258.00 price target, marking it as the firm&#8217;s 2025 top pick.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged over 93% in the last 12 months.
Price Action: TSM stock traded higher by 2.41% to $223.97 at the last check on Wednesday.

Taiwan Semiconductor's Capex Plans Boost These Chip Stocks, Jim Cramer Says

Tech stocks enjoyed a surge Wednesday, driven by a sharp rise in semiconductor shares after President Donald Trump, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) co-founder Larry Ellison, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son unveiled the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus">Stargate Project on Tuesday</a>.
The $500 billion initiative is set to develop AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) was up 2.3% by midday trading in New York, eyeing their fourth straight positive session, the longest streak since late September. 
Yet, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&#8217;s CEO Elon Musk questioned the financial viability, saying that founders &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43121798/elon-musk-says-project-stargate-doesnt-actually-have-the-money-after-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment-led-by-softbank-oracle-and-openai">don't actually have the money</a>.&#8221;

The earnings season continues to be off to a strong start, with companies surpassing fourth-quarter expectations, showcasing the resilience of corporate America. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) delivered a stronger-than-expected quarterly performance across the board, driving its shares up 12%.
Elsewhere, small caps paused for a breather following Tuesday&#8217;s outperformance vis-à-vis large-cap counterparts. 
Chinese stocks slipped, with the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) down 0.8%, after Trump floated the idea of imposing a 10% tariff on China starting from Feb. 1.
In commodities, gold prices surged to an 11-week-high, marking their tenth gain in the past eleven sessions, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical risks.
On Wednesday, Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of potential new sanctions if a peace deal for Ukraine is not reached. Meanwhile, oil prices remained flat after three consecutive sessions of losses.
In the crypto market, selling pressure is mounting as traders react to the absence of crypto-related commentary from the new administration, which had previously positioned itself as crypto-friendly. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) retreated nearly 2% to $104,000.

Chipmakers Rally On AI Stargate Bet, Netflix Soars, Bitcoin Falters As Trump Keeps Quiet On Crypto: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Bank of America analyst Lorraine Hutchinson reiterated a Buy rating on Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) and maintained its $45 price target.
The Details: Hutchinson, in the note, explains that investors are often concerned that Average Unit Retail (AUR) will weaken as the company relies on promotions to drive sales.
However, the analyst argues that Bath &amp; Body Works will continue using a mix of strategies in 2025 to generate positive conversion trends and modest AUR growth. In the past, the company has used strategic price increases on fragrances, higher traffic through store remodels, and a mix of other methods to achieve this.
The analyst believes positive growth will continue due to the company&#8217;s Netflix collaboration and new product launches. Specifically, Hutchinson highlights the launch of new adjacencies, including Men's, Hair, Lip and Laundry.
Among these new categories, Men's grooming stands out as the largest. Despite its relatively low awareness, it demonstrates strong potential driven by early momentum from increased marketing and a new fragrance launch in the third quarter.
The analyst also believes that candle sales, which spiked during COVID and then tapered off as trends normalized, will no longer hinder Bath &amp; Body Works' overall sales. Although candle sales have yet to return to pre-COVID growth levels, the decline has slowed, and the analyst does not expect it to negatively impact 2025 sales.

Atmos Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATO#NYSE">ATO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.9% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.43 million shares sold short, which is 3.27% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.35 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Atmos Energy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737568933_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Atmos Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Atmos Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.
