Recent reports indicated that the e-commerce retailer Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is closing down its brick-and-mortar stores as they have failed to yield returns. 
Since early 2023, it has reduced its Amazon Go stores by about half to 16 stores in four states and is licensing its &#8220;Just Walk Out&#8221; technology to other retailers instead, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/amazon-king-of-online-retail-cant-seem-to-make-its-physical-stores-work-d405f9e7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Recently, Walmart Canada <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43395171/walmart-canada-to-invest-about-3-8-billion-over-five-years" rel="noreferrer noopener">committed $6.5 billion</a> to its&nbsp;operations over the next five years, including launching five new Supercentres by 2027, shortly after Amazon announced withdrawing its operations in Quebec.

Walmart Reshapes Workforce, Shuts Offices As It Consolidates Operations

Ethereum&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) underperformance has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42095265/4-reasons-why-ethereum-will-still-outperform-bitcoin-analyst-sees-4000-to-6000-as-target">sparked fresh debate</a> about its future, with crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen suggesting the cryptocurrency might have finally reached its lower logarithmic regression trend line.
What Happened: In a video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRLK6NvcjTk">podcast</a> on Feb. 5, Cowen, known for his data-driven approach, pointed out that Ethereum has reached a critical juncture. 
"Technically speaking, ETH has gone to the lower logarithmic regression trend line,&#8221; Cowen states, emphasizing the significance of this move.
Cowen also pointed to the impact of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s monetary policy on Ethereum&#8217;s price action. 
He speculates that for Ethereum to see a clear bottom against Bitcoin, further downside could be needed—potentially triggering the Fed to end its quantitative tightening policy.
While Cowen maintains a cautious outlook, he believes Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) performance is crucial for Ethereum&#8217;s short-term movement, saying, "The only way ETH drops below $2,000 in the short term is if Bitcoin gets a big drop."
Also Read: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43447683/ethereum-down-10-in-seven-days-expect-a-lot-more-volatility-traders-say">Ethereum Down 10% In Seven Days: Expect &#8216;A Lot More Volatility,&#8217; Traders Say</a>
Why It Matters: In addition to technical patterns, Cowen highlights that Ethereum's supply has recently returned to its pre-merge levels, which coincides with what he describes as "outright capitulation" in the ETH/BTC pair. 
This could suggest a potential turning point for Ethereum.
Cowen draws comparisons to past market cycles, specifically 2016 and 2019, noting that initial moves into the lower regression band often act as "wicks," with deeper corrections following over the coming weeks or months.
As the market faces these challenges, Cowen's analysis offers a nuanced take on Ethereum's potential direction, considering both technical indicators and broader market conditions.

Constellation Energy's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

As retirement draws closer, many people start to realize that things might not unfold quite as they expected. While you might have planned to work until 65 or longer, life has a way of throwing curveballs.&nbsp;
Health issues, job loss, or even being forced into early retirement due to unforeseen &nbsp; circumstances can push you to step away from work much sooner than planned. In her recent blog post, financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42378433/suze-orman-warns-fear-is-fueled-by-stress-why-60-dont-manage-it-and-4-in-10-worry-about-retirement-savings">Suze Orman</a> stresses the importance of stress-testing your retirement plan to make sure you're ready for the unexpected.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">If You're Age 35, 50, or 60: Here&#8217;s How Much You Should Have Saved Vs. Invested By Now</a></li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 50% of retirees end up retiring earlier than expected, often due to health problems or job loss. Orman suggests thinking about how your retirement would look if you had to leave the workforce at 62 instead of the traditional age of 65.
Would you be able to find part-time work to cover some income? Could you still delay claiming Social Security benefits? And importantly, would your mortgage be paid off by then? These are key questions Orman recommends asking yourself to see how well your retirement plan could handle a surprise early exit from the workforce.
Another issue many retirees face is unexpected expenses. Life happens: a car breaks down, the roof needs replacing, medical bills pile up, or insurance premiums go up. According to a 2022 survey from AARP, nearly 20% of people aged 50 and older have faced unexpected medical expenses that have taken a serious toll on their finances.&nbsp;

Orman advises having an emergency fund big enough to cover at least eight to 12 months of living expenses. This is much more than the typical three months of savings many people have, which experts say isn't enough for a comfortable retirement.
What's great about stress-testing your retirement plan is that it helps you identify potential weaknesses before they become real problems. Catching these gaps early gives you time to take action and adjust your plan.&nbsp;
For example, if you're worried about retiring earlier than expected, Orman recommends saving more now. Starting in 2025, there's a new rule that lets people between 60 and 63 contribute up to $34,750 to their 401(k), an increase from the previous limit of $31,000 for those aged 50-59.

Another way to free up money for savings is by reducing your expenses. The Center for Retirement Research's 2023 National Retirement Risk Index found that 50% of Americans are at risk of not having enough saved for retirement.&nbsp;
Cutting back on things like housing costs or transportation can make a big difference. Approximately 51% of retirees aged 50 and older are choosing to downsize their homes to lower living costs and increase their savings, as per studies from Kiplinger.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) has granted the company a major contract to advance Virtual Anticipation Network (VANE) prototype.
This system is intended to detect trends and important topics connected to potential adversarial threats using AI models, allowing for faster and more precise evaluations of media content that may be crucial for defense strategies.
The VANE prototype will play a key role in assisting the CDAO and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) in making national security decisions.

Originally created in partnership with the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD), VANE utilizes sophisticated AI models to examine large datasets from news sources.

Advancing to a fully operational prototype represents an important step in expanding the technology&#8217;s application within defense operations.
The contract features a transition plan to integrate VANE into the CDAO&#8217;s Advana platform, allowing its deployment across additional DoD agencies and Combatant Commands.
This partnership represents a key advancement in utilizing AI for defense, offering essential assistance in enhancing national security.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/01/43110946/sec-launches-crypto-task-force-to-establish-clear-regulatory-framework">Securities and Exchange Commissio</a>n is undergoing what appears to be a significant strategic overhaul regarding its oversight of the cryptocurrency sector.
This transformation is marked by key personnel changes that hint at a move away from an enforcement-heavy approach towards a more collaborative and structured regulatory landscape. 
What Happened: Indicating this change is the reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro, a leading SEC attorney who previously spearheaded several major legal battles against cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/crypto-industry-looks-to-new-sec-task-force-for-quick-action-in-its-favor-6e142f26">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal.
His work was considered vital in establishing the SEC's jurisdiction over this often volatile and still relatively new market. 
Tenreiro&#8217;s new assignment is as staff for key IT and technology resources. 
Another <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/sec-ousts-top-litigator-who-battled-with-crypto-giants-558548a8">transfer</a> was seen of Senior SEC lawyer, Natasha Guinan.
These adjustments follow the prior month's formation of a new task force, which is now focused on developing a comprehensive regulatory approach for crypto. The shift has been well by the industry.
The cryptocurrency industry is cautiously optimistic about these developments, expressing hope that this signifies a departure from what it viewed as a punitive enforcement-focused strategy of the previous administration. 
Experts are eager to find whether this is a new shift.
Jason Gottlieb, a defense attorney who has opposed the SEC in court, believes that there will be a change and the recent movements are positive.
Cryptocurrency groups have said what&#8217;s needed are just several specific guidelines and actions that can be taken to assist. 
Kristin Smith, who is the chief executive of a very big blockchain group, said there are new opportunities.

Why It Matters: With more details released it should become clear as to the path forward for the space as a whole.
Venture-capital firm A16z Crypto is urging the SEC to permit traditional brokerage firms to engage in cryptocurrency transactions, for example. 
Allowing those actions would push forward cryptocurrency in a different direction and in a new dimension. 
The firm also recommends tailored requirements for broker-dealers to list crypto assets.
There have also been recommendations and comments on how to best move forward. 
J.W. Verret, a professor and former member of the SEC investor advisory committee, hopes the SEC can provide greater clarity by issuing guidelines on when cryptocurrencies or other actions should be regulated. 
That said, there&#8217;s a hope of a better framework going forward.
These developments indicate a more receptive environment for the crypto industry. What all that means is that we are now in the unknown territory for crypto and what that does in terms of price in the long term. 
Whether the SEC will have a more balanced and more effective approach, we will see what these changes are to ensure innovation, security and protections.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $48.21, after a 0.52% increase. Over the past month, Baker Hughes Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) stock increased by 11.19%, and in the past year, by 64.73%. 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/2025/1738773010_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Baker Hughes P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Baker Hughes has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 37.96 of the Energy Equipment &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738773010_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.
