Digital advertising&#8217;s heavy hitters are entering the fourth quarter with positive momentum, according to Wedbush Securities&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dan-ives">analyst Dan Ives</a>. 
In Wedbush Securities&#8217; latest survey of over 200 U.S.-based marketers, advertisers expressed bullish sentiments for Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), The Trade Desk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>), and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) as the sector prepares for 2025 and beyond.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta: Bucking The Slowdown Trend?</h2>
Meta is getting encouraging marks from advertisers, with only a slight deceleration in growth reported between the second and third quarter. More importantly, spending intent for 2025 looks bright. 
"Advertisers we reached are planning to accelerate their Meta ad spending in 2025 versus 2H24," Ives notes. 
This upbeat sentiment counters market models that expect a slowdown, and Meta is projected to outperform consensus estimates for next year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Trade Desk: Accelerating Growth</h2>
For The Trade Desk, it's more good news. 
Growth appears to be picking up speed, with advertisers reporting stronger numbers for the third quarter compared to second. 
"Our survey showed accelerating growth for TTD in 3Q versus 2Q," Ives observed. While consensus expects stable growth, the sentiment from advertisers implies a stronger performance as we head into the final quarter of 2024 and beyond.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: Stronger Ad Spending Growth</h2>
Amazon's advertising game is also on the rise, with advertisers noting a sequential improvement in the third quarter. "Our survey suggests a sequential improvement in Amazon's ad business in 3Q," according to Wedbush. 
While analysts expect Amazon's ad revenue growth to slow slightly, Wedbush estimates still show a healthy increase of more than 19% year over year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bullish Future?</h2>
With strong feedback across Meta, Trade Desk, and Amazon, Wedbush&#8217;s survey points to a robust future for digital advertising. 
As marketers ramp up spending into 2025, these tech giants could see their ad revenue growth exceed expectations, reinforcing their dominant positions in the digital landscape.

How To Buy Under Armour Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

MMTec, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTC#NASDAQ">MTC</a>) shares are moving higher on Wednesday on continued strength in Chinese stocks after China&#8217;s Central Bank announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41097864/china-stocks-jump-as-stimulus-optimism-mounts-whats-going-on">stimulus measures</a> last week. 
Additionally National Day Golden Week, a week long public holiday, kicked off on Tuesday.
What To Know: The bank&#8217;s stimulus measures include a cut to the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points, lowering the loan prime rate and deposit rates by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points and decreasing the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5%.
Capital Economics chief Asia Economist Mark Williams told Reuters that the package, &#8220;would lift annual output by 0.4% relative to what it would otherwise have been. It&#8217;s late in the year, but a new package of this size that was implemented soon should be enough to deliver growth in line with the &#8216;around 5%&#8217; target.&#8221;
Traditionally, China sees an increase in tourism during the week long holiday leading to a boost in China&#8217;s economy. However, the recent slowness in the country&#8217;s economy may lead to lower travel related spending throughout the holiday.
Besides MMTEC, other US-listed Chinese stocks are also moving higher on Wednesday following the bank&#8217;s stimulus measures, including JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>).

Looking into the current session, Virco Mfg Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRC#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) shares are trading at $13.19, after a 0.92% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.75%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 90.97%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great 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/2024/1727883034_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Virco Mfg 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 515.35 in the Commercial Services &amp; Supplies industry, Virco Mfg Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.17. 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/2024/1727883034_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.

A Look Into Virco Mfg Inc's Price Over Earnings

Nike Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41129610/nike-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-teams-energized-amid-ceo-transition-a-comeback-at-this-scale">first-quarter financial results </a>showed that a turnaround by incoming CEO Elliot Hill could take longer than expected and come with increasing challenges, according to analysts.
The Nike Analysts: 
<ul>
<li>RBC Capital analyst Piral Dadhania maintained a Sector Perform rating and lowered the price target from $85 to $82.</li>
<li>Truist analyst Joseph Civello maintained a Hold rating and lowered the price target from $85 to $83.</li>

RBC Capital: With a new CEO at the helm, Dadhania said Nike's "product pivot will take time" in a new investor note.
The analyst lowered revenue and earnings per share estimates with soft traffic and unit sales reported in the first quarter.
"The market likely looks through some of the near term earnings headwinds, with focus on the new CEO strategy, improving product offer and Performance focus," Dadhania said.
Nike's new products are performing well and an acceleration is expected in the Running category, the analyst added.
Truist: New CEO Elliot Hill taking over could present a "long/uncertain path" for Nike, Civello cautioned in a new investor note.
"With another miss vs. depressed expectations, Nike's visibility into its own business appears lower than we previously anticipated, which adds an incremental layer of difficulty to an already-tough task for incoming CEO Elliot Hill," Civello said.
The analyst said the new CEO change could push out optimistic expectations for a turnaround by Spring 2026 that bulls had been expecting.
Competition from On Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>) and Deckers Outdoor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>), which owns HOKA could continue to hurt Nike, the analyst cautioned.
Civello said optimistic expectations that Hill can improve Nike's wholesale business will prove tougher as Nike's brand continues to "fade faster" and Nike's leverage with retail partners has shrunk.
Nike holds a dominant share position. However, the marketplace is &#8220;a lot more competitive than it was during Mr. Hill's prior tenure with Nike,&#8221; Civello adds. It remains to be seen if Civello can be &#8220;as effective given these new dynamics."
Morgan Stanley: First quarter earnings from Nike provided more for the bears than for the bulls, Straton said.
A worse-than-expected Q2 outlook and withdrawn fiscal-year guide overshadowed the headline Q1 beat, Straton said.
Weaker demand, rising inventory levels and risks of more promotional activity could give bears more to lean on, the analyst added.
"The stock likely proves range-bound while outstanding debates linger."
With Nike postponing its Investor Day and a new CEO coming into the mix, Straton said the company's strategy is "still not entirely clear."
Stifel: Declines in North America, EMEA and digital segments show Nike's market share losses, Duffy said.
"We agree with management comments that ‘a comeback of this scale takes time,'" Duffy said.
The analyst said recent stock activity shows that investors may have been betting on more of a near-term comeback for Nike.
"With a new CEO assuming the role in two weeks, we expect a return to growth sufficient to justify the high-twenties forward P/E multiple unlikely until 1HCY26 at the earliest."
Duffy said Nike remains the number one athletic brand and has a history of innovation and scale advantages.
"Lofty market share, increasingly credible competition, and recent footwear share losses, however, are resulting in revenue declines and margin pressure."
Oppenheimer: New product innovations were a key highlight for Nike in the quarter, Nagel said.
The analyst said Nike's new product innovations saw double-digit revenue growth in the quarter.
"Senior leadership remains optimistic around the product pipeline in running footwear and apparel, and announced plans for new running franchises priced below $100, allowing the brand to be more accessible to lower price-point consumers," Nagel said.
Nagel said Nike withdrawing fiscal 2025 guidance is likely done with the intention of clearing the deck for the new CEO as the company works on a "more aggressive turnaround effort."
Price Action: Nike stock is down 5.73% to $84.05 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $70.75 to $123.39. Nike stock is down 23% year-to-date in 2024.
