Looking into the current session, Atmos Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATO#NYSE">ATO</a>) shares are trading at $139.96, after a 0.03% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 7.48%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 19.73%. 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/2024/1735308008_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Atmos Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry 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. 
Atmos Energy has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 22.64 of the Gas Utilities 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/2024/1735308008_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.

Goldman Sachs analyst Elsie Peng projects that the incoming Trump administration will sharply increase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">tariffs on Chinese imports</a>. 
Average rates will likely rise by 20 percentage points, with larger hikes of up to 60 percentage points on non-consumer goods, Peng says. 
These changes could send ripple effects across the U.S. economy, from consumer prices to industrial production.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/24/12/42699993/us-stocks-to-open-lower-as-index-future-decline-analysts-remain-upbeat-about-santa-rally">US Stocks To Open Lower As Index Future Decline: Analysts Remain Upbeat About Santa Rally</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Prices: How Much Will They Rise?</h3>
"We expect the second Trump administration to increase tariff rates on imports from China by around 20pp on average," said Peng. "Tariffs will likely rise more sharply on non-consumer goods than on consumer goods."
Tariff increases will likely translate into price hikes on goods where the U.S. remains heavily reliant on Chinese producers. Today, China accounts for 11% of total U.S. imports — a drop from 18% before Trump's first term — but for certain categories, the dependence is much greater.
Durable household items such as appliances, along with consumer electronics and footwear, are among the most exposed. Chinese imports make up 24% of the U.S. market for appliances and as much as 39% for consumer electronics like telephones. Footwear and clothing also remain heavily reliant on China, with import shares ranging between 10% and 30%.
Goldman Sachs estimates that fully passing the cost of higher tariffs to consumers could raise the prices of Chinese-origin goods by 2%-10%.
&#8220;The US still relies heavily on China for many consumer products,&#8221; Peng said. 
The investment bank predicts the average consumer prices for these items, regardless of origin, could rise by 1% to 2%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thin Margins Could Mean Big Trouble For US Producers</h3>
On the production side, manufacturers will likely face increased costs due to tariffs on Chinese-origin inputs. While most industries are only modestly exposed — Chinese inputs account for less than 3% of total inputs in most sectors — certain industries could feel the pinch.
For machine tools, auto bodies, furniture and textiles, tariff-related cost increases could represent 10%-30% of operating surplus. Even industries with relatively small tariff-related cost increases, such as a 0.5%-0.7% bump in final output costs, could find their margins squeezed.
Some sectors face an even bigger challenge: over 70% of the U.S.'s imports of rare earths, natural graphite and antimony oxides are sourced from China. These materials are critical for the production of batteries, magnets, semiconductors and other components used in the auto, electronics and defense industries. Peng warned that finding alternatives will be difficult in the near term, leaving these industries vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.
"Export restrictions by China could limit U.S. producers' access to critical raw materials," Peng said. "Some materials cannot be easily substituted or sourced elsewhere in sufficient size."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Retaliation Risk For US Exporters</h3>
China is likely to respond to higher tariffs with retaliatory measures, which could spell trouble for U.S. exporters. Agricultural products are particularly exposed.
"More than 80% of U.S. wood, cereals, and animal product exports go to China, as do more than 50% of soybeans — the U.S.'s largest export to China — and nearly 20% of autos," Peng said.
China could impose retaliatory tariffs or reduce imports from the U.S. As a result, agricultural producers and automakers could face declining demand and increased competition in global markets.
This could exacerbate existing pressures in industries that have already dealt with years of volatility.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: US Consumers, Businesses Brace For Higher Costs</h3>
For U.S. businesses, this means shifting production to other countries or suppliers won't happen overnight. For consumers, it means price increases on Chinese goods will be difficult to avoid.
For businesses, navigating higher costs and potential supply chain disruptions will be key to maintaining profitability. For consumers, expect the next phone, appliance or pair of sneakers to come with a slightly higher price tag.
