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.
The system collects and analyzes information, offering more precise understanding of adversarial actions. With VANE, the DoD seeks to enhance the evaluation of complex multi-domain environments, which is essential for both military and government functions.
BigBear.ai marked a significant achievement with the VANE system when it earned &#8220;awardable&#8221; status on the CDAO Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace in April 2024.
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.
