After a heated election cycle, many people feel anxious and uncertain about the political and financial future. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41991146/suze-orman-says-this-investment-can-make-your-kids-rich-by-retirement-you-have-a-golden-opportunity-to-launch-them-to-their-first-million">Suze Orman</a>, financial expert and host of the Women &amp; Money podcast, has heard countless listeners expressing fear, anger and worry in the aftermath of the election. In her postelection <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/stay-the-course-and-make-money">podcast episode</a>, she offered a calming perspective, urging her audience to stay grounded, avoid giving in to political fear and focus on their financial path.

Orman acknowledged the deep emotional reactions that many people are having, especially with such a divisive political climate. She shared that she, too, preferred who should win the election but emphasized that now is a time to come together and focus on what matters: personal well-being and financial stability.&nbsp;
"What you have to do is live in the present," Orman said. "Live in what is happening at this very moment in time." She advised listeners against making drastic decisions out of fear – such as pulling money from FDIC-insured accounts or abandoning the stock market altogether. Instead, she stressed that individuals should trust their ability to navigate challenges in the present and focus on building long-term wealth that doesn't depend on political outcomes.&nbsp;

Orman reminds her audience that true wealth doesn't just stem from money. "When I say wealth, the definition is that which can never diminish, that can never be taken from you." She encouraged people to focus on cultivating internal wealth – knowing their thoughts, being true to themselves and standing by their values regardless of what others think.&nbsp;
She also highlighted the nature of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41949050/bill-gates-warned-the-u-s-will-experience-another-2008-style-financial-crisis-he-cant-predict-when-but-says-this-is-a-certainty">financial crises</a> and disasters that have occurred over the years and that, while there is a recovery period, people must recover and rebuild. "Money can always come and always go," she said. However, personal resilience, integrity and a clear financial strategy remain constant.

For those feeling overwhelmed by what the future may bring, particularly regarding finances, Orman stressed the need to focus on the basics of financial empowerment. Understanding your investments, practicing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40430034/you-look-at-what-you-had-not-what-you-have-and-other-investor-mistakes-that-suze-orman-says-you-">dollar-cost averaging</a> and staying involved with your money are some steps she outlines for creating financial security.
"If you could just focus on all that, then at least you can empower your own life and have the resources to make changes if you need to do so," Orman told listeners.&nbsp;
Instead of letting political fear dictate financial decisions, Orman encouraged her listeners to stay grounded in the present. The future will unfold, but how you respond today, focusing on your financial goals, truly matters. She concluded with a reminder that regardless of the political landscape, personal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41492499/53-of-gen-x-parents-have-serious-fears-their-kids-wont-be-financially-independent-adults-and-the">financial independence</a> is within reach for anyone willing to take control of their financial path.

Suze Orman's Post-Election Advice: 'Stay Grounded, Focus on Your Financial Path, Not Political Fear'

In the current market session, JM Smucker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>) price is at $109.62, after a 2.53% increase. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.99%, and in the past year, by 2.42%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731953711_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating JM Smucker P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</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 28.41 in the Food Products industry, JM Smucker Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 15.1. 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/2024/1731953711_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.

P/E Ratio Insights for JM Smucker

Risk sentiment edged higher on Monday, rebounding after two consecutive losing sessions and the worst week for the U.S. stock market since early September, as pressures from dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">and Treasury yields faded.</a>
All 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary stocks outperforming, thanks to a 7% surge in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
The electric vehicle maker's rally followed reports the incoming Donald Trump administration plans to prioritize a federal framework for fully autonomous vehicles. According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-17/trump-team-said-to-want-to-ease-us-rules-for-self-driving-cars">Bloomberg</a>, the Department of Transportation could soon place this framework at the top of its agenda.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed both the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday. Gains in commodities also stood out, as gold, crude oil natural gas prices all posted strong rebounds amid escalating geopolitical tensions between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42038707/gold-natural-gas-prices-rally-us-russia-tensions-escalate-over-ukraines-long-range-strikes">the U.S. and Russia. </a>
The U.S. dollar paused its recent rally after marking seven consecutive weeks of gains through Friday. Treasury yields, meanwhile, were flat, as the session lacked significant economic data or fresh comments from Federal Reserve officials to provide market direction.
The cryptocurrency market remained on fire, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) surging 1.5% past the $92,000 mark and setting the stage for a potential record-high close. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) also advanced, rising 3% on the day.

Shares of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) are trading higher Monday. The company said it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42044510/warner-bros-stock-jumps-after-securing-11-year-nba-deal-extension">has reached a deal</a> with the National Basketball Association. The agreement will extend the media partnership for an additional 11 years. Warner Bros also said that it has resolved all recent disputes related to the NBA's media agreement.
This development has made Warner Bros. our Stock of the Day.
Warner Bros sued the NBA in July. This occurred after the league gave broadcast rights to Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), ESPN, and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). This was to be an 11-year deal worth $77 billion.
Warner Bros said this was a violation of their agreement. A clause in the contract stated that the company had the right to match offers from a third party.
The chart of Warner Bros illustrates an important technical analysis dynamic that is common in the financial markets. Certain price levels can have more importance than others. As you can see on the chart, this has been the case with the $9.25 level for the stock.

In November 2023, it was a support level. Then, in March, it turned into resistance.
This shift occurred because traders and investors who previously bought shares near the support level experienced losses when the stock price broke below that level. As the price attempted to recover, these investors sold their positions at the $9.25 level, creating resistance.
So, they placed sell orders at the same price that had been support. There were so many of these orders that it caused resistance to form and put a top on the price.
But when the stock broke through the resistance and moved higher, many of the traders and investors who sold at $9.25 decided to buy their shares back at the same price they were sold for.
When the stock dropped back to $9.25, they placed buy orders. There were so many of these orders that if reformed support at the same price that was resistance.
Successful traders know that it is important to understand a company's fundamentals. But they also understand that psychology can influence prices too. Remorseful buyers can turn what had been support into resistance. Regretful sellers can turn what had been resistance into support.

The Ohio Healthy Alternatives Association (OHAA) has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ohio-small-business-owners-and-workers-oppose-sb-326-302307438.html">called</a> on state senators to oppose Senate Bill 326, a proposed regulation targeting hemp products. OHAA, which represents nearly 3,000 small businesses and over 26,000 workers, warns that the bill could have severe economic repercussions on the industry. 
Introduced by State Senator Steve Huffman (R),<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41908034/ohio-lawmaker-moves-to-ban-hemp-products-citing-youth-safety-concerns"> SB 326 </a>seeks to impose stricter THC limits than the 2018 Farm Bill, reducing the allowable delta-9 THC content to just 0.5 milligrams per serving. Proponents argue that the bill aims to safeguard public health, particularly for minors, mirroring recent restrictive measures in states like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California</a>. However, critics say it goes too far, potentially removing many popular hemp products, such as full-spectrum CBD oils and THC beverages from the shelves in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">Ohio</a>.
&#8220;Senator Huffman said, &#8216;he did not have any data as to how many could be impacted.'&#8221; OHAA noted, &#8220;SB 326 is rushed, flawed and catastrophic for our members.&#8221; They estimate the bill could lead to over 20,000 job losses and financial disruptions, including defaulted leases and unpaid vendor debts.

&#8220;While over 36 states including&nbsp;Georgia,&nbsp;Tennessee,&nbsp;North Carolina, and&nbsp;Florida&nbsp;have successfully chosen to regulate this much needed industry, SB 326 proposes a flawed total ban bill that will cause systematic chaos overnight,&#8221; adds the statement.
The debate over the bill comes as Ohio's cannabis market thrives, with recreational sales reaching $143 million within four months of legalization. The contrast between support for regulated cannabis and a potential hemp crackdown highlights ongoing regulatory challenges.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Controversial Alliance</h3>
OHAA is part of the American Healthy Alternatives Association (AHAA), a national hemp advocacy group. On their <a href="https://myhealthyusa.org">website</a>, OHAA is urging Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) to veto SB 326, while simultaneously celebrating a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39243424/desantis-vetoes-bill-that-would-regulate-intoxicating-hemp-in-lifeline-to-industry-as-he-bashes-"> recent victory</a> in Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39243424/desantis-vetoes-bill-that-would-regulate-intoxicating-hemp-in-lifeline-to-industry-as-he-bashes-"> vetoed similar legislation</a> restricting hemp products.
"Thank you Gov. DeSantis for working with us," reads OHAA's website. DeSantis has a strong stance against adult-use cannabis legalization and played an instrumental role in blocking a marijuana legalization ballot initiative.
But unlike De Santis, DeWine has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38209145/gop-gov-mike-dewine-wants-to-ban-public-cannabis-smoking-sale-of-delta-8-intoxicating-hemp">voiced support</a> for tighter regulations on hemp-derived products, citing concerns about public health and youth safety.

On the date the stock will begin trading ex dividend, the value of the current per-share dividend will be removed from the value of the stock. For example, if Apple paid a $2 per share dividend on May 10, shares of Apple should technically be trading $2 lower at the start of that day&rsquo;s trading
