Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of December 27, 2024 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Following considerable financial support <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42382407/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinhouse-admits-204m-crypto-super-political-action-committee-wouldnt-exist-if-gary-gensler-hadnt-been-the-sec-chair">during the 2024 election</a>, the digital asset industry is positioning itself for a significant transformation in how it is regulated.
What Happened: After years of dealing with unclear federal policies, and some hostile action by regulators, a change could be on the horizon under a new presidential administration, <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5054066-crypto-industry-2024-election-legislation/">according</a> to The Hill.
President-elect Donald Trump, who had earlier criticized digital currencies, shifted his stance during his campaign, to become the first presidential candidate to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38952866/trump-accepts-cryptocurrency-donations-in-bitcoin-ethereum-shiba-inu-dogecoin-and-more-say">receive donations in digital assets</a>.
This shift, coupled with bipartisan support within Congress, creates an opening for the passage of important legislation impacting the cryptocurrency sector.
According to Kristin Smith, head of the Blockchain Association, the combination of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41654131/pro-crypto-congress-in-2025-experts-see-stablecoins-as-key-area-for-advancement">crypto-friendly Congress</a> and president makes it possible to finally get supportive regulatory policy implemented, including measures about stablecoins and market structures.
Smith also stressed the need for unity within the industry, in order to properly articulate its needs to Washington D.C.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39004550/exclusive-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-fit21-crypto-bill">FIT21 Act</a> is a key piece of legislation, intended to clarify the respective roles of the SEC and CFTC, to create needed regulatory boundaries.
The legislation was successful in the House last year, but failed in the Senate, therefore the crypto sector will aim to have it reintroduced. 
Rep. French Hill (R-AR), incoming Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, has listed this type of regulatory policy as one of his top priorities.
The SEC&#8217;s approach under Gary Gensler, was perceived by many in the industry as being overly harsh, and focused on enforcement actions, rather than clear guidance.

Why It Matters: The new Trump administration is expected to be more accommodating.
Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, known for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42300549/paul-atkins-reportedly-tapped-for-sec-chair-under-trump-administration">support of crypto</a>, has already been nominated to replace Gensler.
Trump&#8217;s announcement of a new &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42356067/venture-capitalist-david-sacks-appointed-as-white-house-ai-crypto-czar-by-trump">crypto council</a>&#8221; led by David Sacks is another indication of a more friendly administration toward crypto.
The future leadership of the CFTC remains in question, but with a number of well regarded crypto advocates being mentioned as candidates.

Netflix's NFL Debut Brings Record Streams But Lags Traditional TV: Report

In the current session, Teleflex Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFX#NYSE">TFX</a>) is trading at $180.00, after a 0.08% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.59%, and in the past year, by 28.07%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735308911_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Teleflex P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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 67.67 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Teleflex Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 35.74. 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/2024/1735308911_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.

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.
