Tesla P/E Hits 400: 2 Reasons It's Still a Buy, 1 to Avoid Finviz

There's one savings threshold you should still try to hit. If you're struggling to keep up with your living costs this year, you're not alone. Many folks are having difficulty paying their bills as everything seems to keep going up. You may be resigned to having to cut back on retirement savings this year to compensate for your larger expenses. But if you can't save as much this year as you did last year, there's one milestone to aim for. Don't give up your 401(k) match If you have access to a company match in your 401(k) plan, you should do everything in your power to try to snag it in full this year. Every dollar you give is up is money you can invest and grow into a much larger sum. Say you saved $6,000 for retirement last year, but based on this year's budget, you can't swing nearly as much. If your company offers a $3,000 match in your 401(k), try to at least save that $3,000 in full. Here's what happens if you don't. Imagine you only sock away $1,000 in your workplace plan, leaving $2,000 in matching dollars unclaimed. If your 401(k) delivers an 8% annual return, which is a bit below the stock market's average, and you're 30 years away from retirement, giving up a $2,000 match will actually mean forgoing over $20,000 when you account for lost investment gains. This isn't to say that claiming your full 401(k) match will be a snap. But if necessary, try to make some spending changes or even work a side job to make it work. Otherwise, you could end up losing out on a lot more money than expected.

SpaceX Valued at $1.25 Trillion After Combining with xAI Thoughts on the SpaceX xAI Deal The acquisition of xAI by SpaceX will value the combined entity at $1.25 trillion. What’s important for investors to understand is that, in this case, the combined entity will eventually be worth more than the sum of its parts because it will transform SpaceX into a vertically integrated AI-infrastructure play and will strengthen the Musk ecosystem. In my view, the primary goal of the acquisition is to leverage SpaceX’s massive payload capacity and near-monopoly in space to gain an edge in the AI data center race. The Benefits of Data Centers in Space As hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT) jockey for AI dominance, compute will be king (as it is needed to train large AI models). However, currently, the main headwind for the AI buildout is energy scarcity. The U.S. electric grid is already overwhelmed, and with more energy-hungry data centers being built, this will only worsen. Additionally, the Trump Administration has warned that it will not allow U.S. big tech companies to drive up electricity costs for U.S. households. In other words, big tech companies will need to produce their own off-grid energy or compensate U.S. households for any electricity price hikes. Space-Based Data Centers will be More Efficient Elon Musk has stated that the solution to this problem is to house AI data centers in space. Not only is solar energy abundant in space, but cosmic data centers would also be cooled naturally and cheaply by the frigid temperatures there. Remember, Tesla (TSLA) has a thriving energy business and acquired SolarCity in 2016. Tesla Energy also has the megapack, which allows users to store unused electricity. SpaceX/xAI Impact on Publicly Traded Companies Satellite & Communications The SpaceX/xAI deal will strengthen Musk’s growing dominance in satellites and communications. Companies like Viasat (VSAT) use fewer, more expensive Geostationary...

INVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Oracle Corporation - ORCL FinancialContent

Kremlin Says India Hasn't Confirmed Oil Cutoff As Modi Govt Mute, Hasn't Ratified The Kremlin on Tuesday pushed back on Trump's claims that India is preparing to cut off Russian oil purchases following his major Truth Social announcement of a new US-India trade deal that sharply reduces tariffs on Indian exports. "So far, we haven't heard any statements from New Delhi on this matter," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, signaling that Moscow has received no official confirmation from India in light of Trump's assertions. via Reuters Peskov said Moscow is still "carefully monitoring the news" around Trump's claims, on the heels of his "wonderful" phone call with India's Modi and the tariff relief. Trump had announced the US will trim its punitive tariff on Indian imports to 18% after striking what he hailed as a new "trade deal” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Crucially it hinges on New Delhi having reportedly ended its purchases of Russian crude and swapping them for massive US energy and goods buys . "Out of friendship and respect for Prime Minister Modi and, as per his request, effective immediately, we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18%," Trump posted. "Our amazing relationship with India will be even stronger going forward." And yet, 24 hours later and India's Foreign Ministry has also remained silent on the question of abandoning Russian oil. Given all of this, and that the potential remains that Trump's statements were too out front and presumptuous in terms of anything India may have actually agreed to in a finalized way, Peskov additionally said that while Russia "respects" US-Indian relations, Moscow's priority remains its own "strategic partnership" with New Delhi. "And we intend to continue to comprehensively develop our bilateral relations with New Delhi, which is exactly what we’re doing," he emphasized. As recently as D...

When consumers are in a buying mood, their shopping list includes the stock market.

Author’s note: All figures are listed in Canadian currency unless otherwise noted. Rangsarit Chaiyakun/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis With a total return of 96% over the last 5 years, Capital Power ( CPX:CA ) is one of the most growth-oriented independent power providers listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. As a company focused on natural gas, the boom in natural gas production in North America is a potent tailwind. Natural gas accounts for 43% of current U.S. power production and is likely to grow. The natural gas generation fleet in the U.S. only runs at 33% capacity, suggesting that acquiring existing gas generation assets is more economical than developing greenfield generation projects. These industry economics inform Capital Power’s strategy of growth through acquisition. Capital Power has generated significant shareholder value in recent years by making shrewd acquisitions, upgrading power generation assets, and operating them efficiently. The company is targeting 13-15% total shareholder returns from 2026-2030 by growing its U.S. fleet by 50% over the target period. With guidance for 8-10% cash flow growth annually and a current dividend yield of 4.6%, Capital Power offers an attractive combination of share price appreciation and dividend growth. Company Profile Capital Power is the 5th largest independent natural gas power producer in North America. The unregulated producer has 12 GW of generation capacity, 90% of which is natural gas. The company operates 32 facilities across North America, including wind, solar, solid fuel, waste heat, and landfill gas assets. In addition to its core natural gas generation business, Capital Power also operates battery energy storage systems. Capital Power Fleet Overview (Capital Power Investor Da y Presentation ) Capital Power was able to achieve this scale by buying out-of-favor coal-fired plants and converting them to natural gas. The company has completed 10 acquisitions over the last decade, more than quad...

Uber Technologies Inc. ’s quarterly results will likely take a back seat to the mounting threat posed by the growing self-driving fleets from prominent rivals like Alphabet Inc. ’s Waymo and Elon Musk -led Tesla Inc. , according to Wall Street analysts. “While the core business trends remain strong, autonomous vehicle headline risk continues to dominate discussion around Uber and creates ongoing volatility,” JPMorgan analyst Douglas Anmuth said. The stock is down about 22% since closing at a record high in October, including a 4% decline on Tuesday ahead of the results before the market opens on Wednesday. The San Francisco-based company in November gave fourth-quarter Ebitda guidance that fell slightly short of Wall Street’s estimates. Uber is estimated to report net earnings of 79 cents a share, on revenue of $14.3 billion. Last month, the company said it plans to alter its segment operating performance measures beginning in the first quarter of 2026. Read More: Uber Walks Fine Line on Driverless Car Investment: Tech In Depth Self-driving car companies can offer the same service as Uber’s core ride-sharing business, and they can do it without the added cost of a human driver. For now, few AV taxi services have hit the market, and Uber has delved into the space itself . But as the technology ramps, competition will too, and that could become a greater threat to Uber’s share of the market. Wedbush analyst Scott Devitt said in a Jan. 26 note that the market is “underestimating” the negative impact AVs may have on discounted cash flow values of incumbent rideshares, Uber and Lyft Inc. “We remain cautious as we weigh the eventual impact of AV disruption on established ridesharing networks as the industry evolves,” said Devitt, who estimated that about 40% of Uber’s mobility bookings are most exposed to AV risk. “Shares trade for a premium relative to the mobility group, which we believe may be difficult to retain if the demand environment were to soften,” he added. Tho...

chameleonseye PayPal ( PYPL ) stock dove 20% in Tuesday afternoon trading, reflecting its weaker-than-anticipated Q4 results , soft guidance for 2026, and market share losses, especially in its branded checkout offerings. Shares sank to as low as $41.44 during the session, its lowest level since 2017. “This was a disappointing result, a function of growing competition and suboptimal execution amid soft macro dynamics, particularly for middle-income demos that management noted as core to the PayPal brand on this morning's call,” Macquarie analyst Paul Golding wrote in a note to clients. Challenges in branded checkout, along with operational and deployment issues, U.S. retail weakness among lower- and middle-income consumers, moderation in Germany, and deceleration in categories such as travel, crypto, gaming, and ticketing, drove the Q4 miss, Golding said. Branded checkout total payment volume growth, excluding FX, rose only 1% Y/Y, slowing from 6% growth in Q4. BTIG analyst Andrew Harte said Q4 results missed across the board. Furthermore, FY26 guidance “looks very bad, is not near consensus, and implies PYPL is clearly losing market share.” BTIG noted that PayPal ( PYPL ) is losing market share in its branded and unbranded solutions. The disappointing results underscore increasing competition in e-commerce payments as businesses seek benefits from e-comm tailwinds pushing more commerce shifts to online, Harte said. In that arena, closely held Stripe ( STRIP ) and Adyen ( ADYEY ) ( ADYYF ) are showing their ability to execute at scale, he said. Meanwhile, consumers have more choices than ever, including Apple Pay ( AAPL ) and dozens of other digital wallets, and Block’s ( XYZ ) Cash App engagement stats continue to increase. “PYPL's valuation now screams cheap at a 15% FY26E FCF yield,” BTIG’s Harte said. “However, we do not see how investors can feel confident on the long side.” Interim CEO Jamie Miller said the company had underestimated its operational and deploy...

With Q4 earnings now well and truly digested, investors are watching closely to see how Tesla Inc TSLA shares behave through the first week of February. Yes, the company topped analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings, but that success came with a catch. The stock exited its latest earnings report with an even higher valuation than before, with its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio now around 400. That leaves Tesla, despite delivering a decent report, in an uncomfortable position heading into Q1, with the stock finely balanced between strong long-term belief and mounting short-term skepticism. On one side are the bulls willing to look past valuation and trust the company’s ability to execute. On the other hand are the bears who see a multiple this frothy as an accident waiting to happen. For now, at least, the balance is leaning slightly in the bulls’ favor. Let’s explore the two reasons Tesla is still a buy, and one reason why investors may want to stay away. Reason #1 It’s Still a Buy: The Uptrend Is Still Intact The strongest argument for staying constructive on Tesla is simple—price action. The long-term uptrend that began last spring is still intact, even after a few weeks’ worth of chop. The $420 area where the stock sits now matters enormously. Bulls have been forced to defend this level several times this year, and so far have managed to do so. As long as Tesla holds above this zone, the broader structure remains constructive, with higher lows still underpinning the chart. From a technical perspective, this gives the stock a legitimate path back toward the $500 region, where it briefly tagged an all-time high in December. That upside is far from guaranteed, however, especially with the inflated valuation. It will require consistent execution from Tesla’s leadership and an increasing belief in the company’s long-term potential from the bulls. Reason #2 It’s Still a Buy: Analysts Are Still Backing the Story Despite the valuation concerns, analyst sentimen...

EXCLUSIVE | Top 12 Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro In January: Where Do Tesla, Nvidia, Apple Stocks Rank? Benzinga

Key Points SOXL offers much higher leverage and volatility than QLD, with a five-year max drawdown over 90%. QLD holds a more diversified tech-heavy portfolio across 121 stocks, while SOXL focuses exclusively on semiconductors. Both funds use daily resetting leverage, creating unique risks and trading quirks for long-term holders. 10 stocks we like better than ProShares Trust - ProShares Ultra Qqq › The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSEMKT:SOXL) and ProShares - Ultra QQQ (NYSEMKT:QLD) both offer leveraged exposure to U.S. technology themes, but SOXL delivers triple daily leverage to semiconductors while QLD targets double daily leverage to a broader NASDAQ-100 mix. Both SOXL and QLD cater to investors seeking amplified returns from leading technology stocks, but their approaches diverge sharply. SOXL is a pure semiconductor play with three times daily leverage, while QLD offers two times daily leverage to a more diversified set of technology, communication services, and consumer cyclical companies. This comparison explores their costs, risk profiles, sector tilts, and portfolio concentration to help clarify which may appeal depending on an investor’s risk appetite and market outlook.

An engineering depiction of utility scale gas turbine blades inside energy generation machinery and the precision manufacturing required. primeimages/iStock via Getty Images Many investors might be surprised that a relatively low-profile utility company like NRG Energy ( NRG ) has not only dramatically outperformed its arguably flashier peer NextEra Energy ( NEE ) over the past five years (see chart below) but has also tripled the returns of the S&P 500 as represented by the ( VOO ) ETF. Today, I'll take a fresh look at NRG to see if the big move in the stock is simply a matter of AI-driven irrational exuberance or if there's more fuel in the tank that could drive the stock higher. That's a fuel tank that now includes the LS Power acquisition, which closed on Friday. I'll also compare some basic metrics of NRG to NextEra to see which stock is likely to outperform over the coming 12 months. Data by YCharts Investment Thesis NRG Energy sells wholesale electric power, natural gas, and related home products and services to customers in the U.S. and Canada. As of year-end 2024, NRG had ~13.1 GW of generation capacity, 65% of which was in Texas, and the fuel-source split was 51% coal, 43% natural gas, 4% oil, and the remainder being utility-scale storage solutions. The graphic below is a quick overview of NRG Energy, with the information coming from NRG's "About Us" webpage : NRG Energy Among the many NRG brands shown above is Vivint Smart Home, a company NRG announced it would acquire in December 2022. The stock plunged on the news, and I responded by writing, "Buy It: NRG Energy Plunges On Vivent Deal, Yield Soars To 4.35%" . NRG - under pressure from activist investor Elliot Management - subsequently removed CEO Mauricio Gutierrez, who was replaced by Larry Coben. Elliot subsequently exited its position by early 2025. Yet as you can see from the Seeking Alpha scoreboard in the upper-right-hand corner of my article, NRG went on to outperform the S&P 500 by over 300% sin...

The IRS is tightening its grip on crypto exchanges and wallets. Filing taxes can be confusing for cryptocurrency investors. In the earliest days, crypto trades weren't taxed or regulated. But in March 2014, the IRS issued Notice 2014-21, officially classifying all cryptocurrencies as property rather than currency. That meant selling cryptocurrencies for dollars, trading one crypto for another, or buying goods and services with crypto were all taxable events. In 2019, the IRS tightened up its enforcement of those rules by adding a crypto question to Form 1040 and aggressively auditing crypto holders. The top exchanges also started issuing 1099 forms to comply with those rules. As we head into the 2026 tax filing season, investors should be aware of two other significant changes. 1. Form 1099-DA Starting in the 2025 tax year, all crypto brokers -- including centralized exchanges like Coinbase (COIN 6.14%) and specific decentralized platforms -- must issue a new form, 1099-DA, to their users to record their cost basis, sales, trades, and disposals of digital assets. The dates and cost basis for those trades will serve as a baseline for capital gains tax calculations. That change will standardize all crypto trades in the same manner as stock trades, but it could diminish the appeal of cryptocurrencies among casual or tax-arbitrage traders. Yet at the same time, that clarity might make cryptocurrencies more appealing for conservative retail or institutional investors.

An F-35C stealth fighter jet which took off from the USS Abraham Lincoln warship shot down the drone "in self-defence" to protect the aircraft carrier and its personnel, US Central Command spokesman Capt Tim Hawkins said.

Texas has so many massive AI-related data centers in development that its grid operator is now considering reevaluating some projects that were previously approved. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has stepped in to examine projects unlikely to advance and provide greater clarity for when new sites are ready to connect to its system. Projects historically have been approved by utilities but in recent years Ercot has had to determine how this flood of new users can be served without breaking the grid. Under an Ercot proposal , projects representing about 8.2 gigawatts of power consumption — demand that would be satisfied by the equivalent of eight conventional nuclear reactors — could be subject to new review, said Trudi Webster, a spokesperson for the grid. The grid operator plans to present the proposal for a review process to state regulators later this month. Ercot acts as an air traffic controller governing the flow of power and making sure the grid isn’t over taxed. Its proposal to reevaluate projects is a bet it can both remove kinks that have bogged down projects and not undermine the state’s AI boom. Hyperscalers are likely to be watching closely; they’ve seen Texas as a business-friendly state that offers abundant land, cheap power and the promise of limited regulation. On Tuesday, Ercot presented its plan to grid participants, including developers and utilities. It previously had solicited feedback from dozens of companies including Alphabet Inc. ’s Google, Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. Data centers make up the majority of projects that would be subject to Ercot’s new review, Webster said. Most of those projects don’t yet have final agreements to connect to the grid. The operator hasn’t revealed which projects would require additional study. The projects that could again be reviewed are a fraction of the staggering haul of those seeking connections — more than 250 gigawatts as of Friday, or about three times its total capacity today.

Boarding1Now/iStock via Getty Images The surge in the value of BRC Group Holdings' ( RILY ) fixed-income securities could have some legs as the market increasingly de-emphasizes the bankruptcy risk that has plagued the firm following its disastrous 2023 take-private deal for Franchise Group. The two preferreds are currently up at least 470% from their 52-week lows, with the longer-dated baby bonds up triple-digit percentages from their lows. This surge follows RILY's publication with the SEC of its fiscal 2025 second and third quarter Form 10-Qs to come back into compliance with the NASDAQ's listing requirements. This followed months of delisting fears from the delayed filing of these reports. The recent moves have been material, broadly eliminating the discount that opened up following the suspension of the preferred share coupons. Seeking Alpha Critically, RILY still faces near-term debt maturity risks that will likely see a return of the prices of the preferreds to what I think is a lower level that's more reflective of coupons that remain suspended. If we take a look at RILY's capital stack, there are seven fixed-income securities that remain outstanding following the 2025 maturity of RILYM . This is formed from five baby bonds and two preferreds, with three of the bonds coming up for repayment in 2026. These have an aggregate value of $458.33 million and are set against total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $185 million.
