Thousands of port workers may go on strike again as a temporary deal between the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance reached in October is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41187855/port-strike-ends-after-3-days-retaliers-politicians-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief">set to expire on Jan. 15.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The current agreement was reached after a three-day port strike in October affected ports on the Gulf and East Coasts. The dockworkers had sought a 77% pay increase over the next six years and workplace protections for automation of port practices.&nbsp;
The tentative deal that was reached increased pay by 62%, but did not address the union's concerns about automation.&nbsp;

A <a href="https://www.usmx.com/assets/content/public-resources/12-20-2024_Statement_from_USMX.pdf">message</a> from the United States Marine Alliance dated Dec. 20 addressed the use of technology and automation in ports.&nbsp;
"​​Evolving port operations and increasing wages and jobs for the ILA are not mutually exclusive. Modern technology is proven to dramatically increase the amount of cargo that can be moved through a port annually. ILA members make more money when they move more cargo and ports need to hire more workers to manage that growth," the message stated.&nbsp;
Harold Daggett, president of the International Longshoreman's Association, hinted at a potential strike in a Christmas Day <a href="https://ilaunion.org/harold-j-daggett-international-president-international-longshoremens-association-2024-christmas-message-to-ila-members-and-their-families/">message to</a> union members.&nbsp;
"Our resolve may be tested again in mid-January as we face another deadline for negotiating a new Master Contract by January 15, 2025. We want to avoid another strike, and hope that our employers represented by United States Maritime Alliance will respect our demands for a fair and decent contract," Daggett wrote.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Container shipping company ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>) <a href="https://www.zim.com/customer-updates/new-ila-strike-surcharge-for-cargo-moving-to-or-from-the-us-east-coastus-gulf-ports">announced an</a> ILA Strike Surcharge in mid-December for all cargo moving to or from US East Coast and US Gulf ports effective from Jan. 10 in the event of a strike. 
Zim said the charge is intended to help mitigate "additional costs and expenses to ZIM caused by a strike, work stoppage, work slowdown or other labor-related disruptions to operations" and will not apply if a strike is averted.&nbsp;
Ground shipping and freight companies like FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) could benefit in the event of a port strike as businesses would shift toward ground and air transportation of goods.&nbsp;
Investors can also monitor the effects of a potential port strike through the SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOAT#NYSE">BOAT</a>) which tracks the Solactive Global Shipping Index consisting of global shipping companies engaged in maritime transportation of goods and raw materials.&nbsp;

On Thursday, H. B. Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>) disclosed its unaudited preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2024, highlighting weaker-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42763305/h-b-fuller-announces-preliminary-fiscal-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">conditions in the fourth quarter.</a>
The company now projects fiscal year 2024 net revenue to reach approximately $3.57 billion versus $3.576 billion estimate (prior view: ~$3.581 billion), with adjusted earnings per share of $3.84 versus the analyst consensus estimate of $4.16 (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41034261" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior view: $4.10 to $4.20</a>).
The company currently expects Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $594 million, representing a revision from previous guidance, which had forecasted adjusted EBITDA in the range of $610 million to $620 million.
The fourth-quarter performance was negatively impacted by delayed customer orders and weaker-than-expected demand in key sectors, including consumer product goods, packaging, and durable goods distribution.

Additionally, the shift in price increase realization into fiscal 2025 and rising raw material costs, particularly in Hygiene, Health, and Consumable Adhesives, contributed to the decline in adjusted EBITDA.
Celeste Mastin, President and CEO, acknowledged the market slowdown and emphasized the company's response, including new pricing actions, cost controls, and ongoing restructuring initiatives to streamline manufacturing and reduce operating costs.
H. B. Fuller also expects operating cash flow to be approximately $300 million for fiscal 2024, down from the prior outlook of $325 million&nbsp;&#8211; $350 million.
The company will release its full financial results on January 15, 2025, followed by an investor conference call on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">January 16, 2025, to discuss the results.</a>

Stock traders and golfers almost universally have one trait in common: they are always on the hunt for a pro tip that will help them improve their game or investment portfolios. Former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia would certainly qualify as a "pro" when it comes to stock trading. During a recent appearance on CNBC's Fast Money, Moglia offered his opinion on strategies to help traders play the market in 2025.

</ul>
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Moglia's interview was his admission that he's "the most bullish on the market that he's been in 10 years," which should encourage investors. When the hosts asked him why he felt this way, Moglia quickly said, "The president, we've got someone in there who is pro-business, pro-markets." He also noted how President-Elect Trump has warmed up to Cryptocurrency, a change from several years ago.
The host noted that Moglia manages his portfolio and that more than half of it in "growth stuff, including Crypto,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42696614/cathie-wood-takes-profit-on-hot-ai-stock-palantir-again-continues-to-sell-block-shares-amid-bitcoin-buzz"> Cathie Wood</a> kind of stuff, tech stocks" before asking him, "How does that align with the retail trader?" Joe responded, "I think today, if you're an individual trader, I don't know how you expect to have good performance if you're not involved with technology (stocks)."
See Also: ‘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-y2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
He also suggested several potential starting points for retail traders when he said, "The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41756882/magnificent-7-basket-notches-over-200-gain-since-bidens-election-how-did-tech-giants-perform-und"> Magnificent Seven</a> is a good place to be" and suggested tracking Cathie Wood's trades in this sector. Moglia also detailed how he, much like the President-Elect, has evolved his views on cryptocurrency and is now very much in favor of it being part of retail investor portfolios.
He expanded that by saying, "You've got the crypto play, which I think five years ago or two years ago, that may have been overly aggressive, but I think you have to be involved now." Although Moglia's ideal portfolio holdings have changed from 10 years ago, he remains a proponent of the "barbell method," where the portfolio is equally balanced on each side with risk and growth, with long-term holdings in between for balance.&nbsp;

Moglia also explained how that barbell may be differently weighted and affected by factors such as the investor's age, goals and risk tolerance. The hosts asked him to compare today's retail investor with the retail investor of 10 years ago. Moglia responded that today's investors have better financial literacy and access to more information than they did 10 years ago. He also believes today's investors are more aggressive.
Moglia made another salient point when he stressed that losing money in a bull market is still possible. Although Moglia believes in the Magnificent Seven and cryptocurrency, he stressed the importance of retail investors planning their investment strategy and staying on top of their portfolios. Moglia quipped, "Lots of families spend more time planning vacations than they do their investment portfolios."&nbsp;

Former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia On Which Strategies Traders Can Use To Play The Market In 2025

Meta Platforms shares are trading higher after JMP Securities raised its price target on the stock from $660 to $750.

In the current market session, Beacon Roofing Supply Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BECN#NASDAQ">BECN</a>) share price is at $102.70, after a 1.10% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 10.91%, but in the past year, went up by 16.78%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating Beacon Roofing Supply 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. 
Beacon Roofing Supply has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 93.58 of the Trading Companies &amp; Distributors 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/2025/1735837209_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.
