RBC Bearings shares are trading higher after Keybanc and Truist Securities raised their respective price targets on the stock.

In the current market session, Concentrix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNXC#NASDAQ">CNXC</a>) share price is at $50.11, after a 4.15% drop. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 8.20%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 42.54%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>How Does Concentrix 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 25.05 in the Professional Services industry, Concentrix Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.09. 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/2025/1738615511_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.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Tempur Sealy International shares are trading higher after multiple firms raised their respective price targets on the stock and Wedbush upgraded its rating from Neutral to Outperform.

Asset manager Vanguard on Monday announced that it was slashing the fees associated with investing in its funds, saving investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43337274/why-voo-investors-should-keep-calm-despite-ai-stock-turbulence">up to $350 million in 2025 alone</a>.
What To Know: Vanguard has lowered the expense ratio across 87 of its funds, bringing its average asset-weighted fee down to just 0.07% versus an industry average of 0.44%, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-03/vanguard-s-average-fee-is-now-just-0-07-after-biggest-ever-cut?embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a>.
The fee reductions, which became effective Feb. 1 and were announced in a <a href="https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/corporatesite/us/en/corp/articles/announcing-largest-fee-cut-vanguard-history.html">news release</a> Monday morning, represent the largest cut Vanguard has ever made. The cuts will lower investment costs for bond mutual funds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs</a>, U.S. equity, international equity and money market funds. 
&#8220;Lower fees mean fund investors can keep more of their returns and a competitive edge for our funds,&#8221; said Greg Davis, chief investment officer at Vanguard.

Vanguard has reduced its expense ratios more than 2,000 times since 1975 and was already one of the cheapest operators before the latest cuts. Following the cuts, 86% of Vanguard mutual fund and ETF assets are in the lowest-cost deciles of their peer group.
According to Bloomberg, Vanguard ETFs brought in $305 billion of inflows last year, which was close to an all-time high for the asset manager. 
"After paying for technology and investments that we need to make in the company, the way we effectively give the value back to our clients — who are also our owners — is through fee cuts. The larger we become, the lower it goes," Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji, reportedly told Bloomberg.
The cuts are specifically attractive for investors looking to increase exposure to fixed income. Vanguard&#8217;s average weighted fee on its actively managed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-vanguard-bond-funds">bond funds</a> is now down to 0.1% versus an industry average of about 0.52%.
The report indicates that Vanguard recently released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36485117/vanguard-predicts-bonds-to-make-strong-comeback-short-term-pain-can-lead-to-long-te">10-year outlook</a> showing that it expects U.S. bonds to outperform U.S. equities over the next decade. 
"Even if we're wrong, people's portfolios are out of balance and they need more bonds in there, even just as a ballast to diversify back to 60/40. But as they do that, they don't need to pay 50 basis points,&#8221; Ramji reportedly said.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on BAC Options

Imagine you're at a dinner party and someone casually drops the phrase "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42675663/think-youre-richer-than-your-peers-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-among-the-top-10-for-your-age">top 1%</a>." It's a moment that makes you pause – are they talking about billionaires flying private jets or is it something a little closer to home? Turns out, being in the 1% club isn't just about extravagant lifestyles and celebrity status; it's a specific number that might feel surprisingly within – or wildly out of – reach, depending on where you stand.
According to DQYDJ data, the income cutoff for the top 1% of U.S. households in 2023 was $591,550.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a> </li>
</ul>
If you're a single earner, you'd need $407,500 to join this elite group. To put it in perspective, the median individual income in 2024 was $50,200, which means most people are way below that golden threshold.
But it's important to remember that the top 1% can shift depending on how you slice it. For example, households often have multiple earners, increasing the overall number. Break it down by state or city and the story changes again – New York City's top 1% looks wildly different from, say, a smaller Midwest town.
How the Rest Stack Up
Curious where the other top earners fall? Let's take a quick look:
• Top 10% Household Income: $216,056
• Top 10% Individual Income: $132,676

• Medicine: Half of U.S. doctors earn over $200,000 annually and their mean earnings are higher than those in finance or law.
• Finance: The top 1% in finance rake in over $2 million per year, making it the industry with some of the highest individual earners. With finance representing 0.9% of the 160 million-strong workforce, more than 10,000 people earn at this level.
• Law: While the median income for legal professions is below that of doctors, the top 1% of law earners are among the country&#8217;s wealthiest.
• Management: Thanks to the sheer size of the workforce, managers dominate the highest-earner category. There are eight times as many managers as doctors, meaning most of the nation's top earners come from this group.

Trader Notes: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez observed that Ethereum is forming a head-and-shoulders pattern, suggesting that it must hold the $2,700 level to preserve its bullish structure. 
Martinez remains optimistic, predicting that ETH could eventually rise to $7,000 if the key level holds.

Trader Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1886460910341874071">pointed</a> out that Ethereum has experienced a pattern similar to last August's price drop, where a failed breakout led to a 35-40% decline. 
The recent downturn was triggered by external factors, such as the yen carry trade and ongoing tariff discussions, but it built on existing weaknesses within the market.
Unlike last year, however, Bitcoin has shown more resilience. 
Daan expects more volatility ahead but not another extended period of range-bound price action
MaxBecauseBTC <a href="https://x.com/MaxBecauseBTC/status/1886251932584710449">highlighted</a> Ethereum's largest liquidation event in over two years, noting extreme negative funding levels similar to the March 2020 COVID crash. 
While the trader believes those who can weather the storm will see long-term rewards, he warns that most traders may not hold through this period of uncertainty.
Statistics: IntoTheBlock data shows Ethereum's large transaction volume surged by 72.4%, with daily active addresses increasing by 8.1%. 
Exchange netflows also spiked by nearly 200%, while transactions greater than $100,000 grew from 5,487 to 8,334 in just one day.

Ethereum Down 10% In Seven Days: Expect 'A Lot More Volatility,' Traders Say

UPS shares are trading lower amid overall macro uncertainty following US tariffs on key trading partners. Additionally, Loop Capital lowered its price target from $120 to $115.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares are trading lower Monday after the U.S. imposed new tariffs on Chinese imports, sparking concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">rising costs and supply chain disruptions.</a>
What To Know: President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, alongside a 25% duty on imports from Mexico and most Canadian goods, excluding crude oil, which will see a 10% tariff. The move, set to take effect Tuesday, is expected to impact American businesses and consumers.
Economists warn that the tariffs could lead to higher prices for electronics, automobiles, home appliances and other consumer goods. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce cautioned that the new duties may disrupt supply chains, while finance and economics professor Sung Won Sohn stated that &#8220;consumers are going to be clearly worse off.&#8221;
The U.S. imports nearly one-third of its goods from the three affected countries. In 2024, the country imported $46 billion in agricultural products from Mexico and $97 billion in oil and gas from Canada. The tariffs could raise construction costs by as much as $4 billion, increase prices for consumer goods and erase cost savings for U.S. automakers that produce vehicles in Mexico.
AAPL Price Action: Apple shares were down 3.02% at $228.86 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
