How Do Investors Really Feel About Planet Fitness?

Wall Street wrapped up a shortened trading week ahead of the Easter holiday in the red, weighed down by fresh export restrictions on chips to China that sent tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chipmakers">and semiconductor stocks tumbling.</a>
On Tuesday, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) revealed it was notified by the Trump administration on April 9 that its H20 AI chip would now require an export license to be sold in China. The company warned that these tighter controls could slash its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44846329/nvidias-china-sales-face-setback-as-h20-chip-restrictions-catch-key-buyers-off-guard-reuters">earnings by $5.5 billion.</a>
Nvidia shares dropped 8.5% this week, erasing nearly half of the previous week&#8217;s gains. The broader semiconductor sector – as tracked by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) – followed suit, sliding 3% and logging its seventh weekly decline <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44860240/unitedhealth-slashes-2025-outlook-on-medicare-funding-reductions-stock-crashes">out of the past eight.</a>
First-quarter earnings season delivered a mixed bag. While banks and streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) showed solid performance, UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) shocked investors by slashing its full-year guidance far below Wall Street expectations.
UnitedHealth shares plummeted 22.4% on Thursday, marking their worst one-day drop since 1998.
In trade news, Canada announced a six-month suspension of countermeasure tariffs on select U.S. goods essential for domestic manufacturing and food packaging. This move is expected to ease cross-border supply chain pressures, particularly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44816653/canada-eases-retaliatory-tariffs-on-us-goods-as-trade-tensions-thaw-under-softer-trump-stance-stocks-react"> benefiting Michigan-based automakers.</a>
On the macro front, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell flagged inflation and growth risks stemming from trade tariffs, reiterating the Fed&#8217;s cautious stance and signaling that rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">won&#8217;t come prematurely.</a>
This cautious tone triggered an angry response from President Donald Trump, who blasted Powell as "always too late" on rate cuts and hinted at prematurely removing him from office, despite Powell's term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44862662/trump-pressures-fed-as-ecb-delivers-7th-straight-rate-cut">running through May 2026.</a>
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank executed its sixth consecutive rate cut, further fueling Trump's public frustration with the Fed. During an Oval Office meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Trump doubled down, declaring that Powell &#8220;will be out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44875406/hell-be-out-if-i-ask-him-can-trumps-threat-to-oust-powell-shake-the-fed">if the President asks.&#8221;</a>
Gold continues to defy gravity, fueled by strong investor demand, heightened policy uncertainty, and persistent central bank buying.
Bullion prices – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – soared to $3,330 per ounce, marking a new all-time high and extending gains to 14 of the past 16 weeks.

Is Adtalem Glb Education Gaining or Losing Market Support?

In the current market session, Paylocity Holding Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCTY#NASDAQ">PCTY</a>) share price is at $183.98, after a 0.13% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 4.13%, but in the past year, went up by 15.31%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745002829_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Paylocity Holding P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</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 53.5 in the Professional Services industry, Paylocity Holding Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 47.24. 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/2025/1745002829_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.

A Look Into Paylocity Holding Inc's Price Over Earnings

After months of sliding prices and bearish charts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">oil just pulled</a> a fast one. The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) is up over 7% in the last five days &#8211; its best weekly move in months &#8211; raising the inevitable question: is the bottom finally in?

Technically speaking, the oil proxy, USO ETF still has a lot to prove. It's trading below its 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), flashing a bearish trend. On the yearly chart, the price is right below the 200-day SMA. If buying pressure and bullish momentum continues, we could see a major breakthrough above its long-term resistance.

That said, fundamentals are starting to shift &#8211; and smart money is sniffing opportunity. Energy investor Josh Young says we're seeing the "highest level of smart money buying oil since 2020."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

And as Against All Odds Research bluntly put it: "Crude oil looks dead to most people. But commercials—the pros who live in this market—are quietly buying."
What&#8217;s driving the shift? Geopolitics and OPEC. U.S. sanctions on Chinese buyers of Iranian oil have added pressure to global supply, and deeper cuts from Iraq and Kazakhstan are tightening things further. Meanwhile, falling gasoline and distillate inventories suggest demand is still firm, despite a surprise crude stockpile build.
Sure, demand growth isn't what it used to be. Trade war fears and economic uncertainty still cloud the long-term picture. But right now, value buyers are stepping in—and the charts are finally reacting.
A bounce toward $75–$80 crude? Not out of the question. As long as key support levels hold, oil might just be setting up for a sneaky comeback.
In short: oil may not be pretty &#8211; but it's definitely not dead.

From the halls of Congress to the streets of New York, cannabis news bloomed in every direction this week. Slovenia introduced what may become Europe's most progressive medical cannabis law.

And Governor Ron DeSantis faces questions over whether public funds were funneled into anti-cannabis campaigns.
Elsewhere, Weedmaps dropped a custom sneaker collab, Swatch&#8217;s 4/20-friendly watch returned to the spotlight and a massive new cancer study delivered groundbreaking validation for medical cannabis. Avicanna posted record earnings, Minnesota crossed a regulatory milestone and Blue Violets made delivery history in New Jersey.

SHF Holdings, d/b/a Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHFS#NASDAQ">SHFS</a>), announced a strategic partnership with FundCanna to provide cannabis operators with streamlined access to capital and compliant banking services.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Politics, Policy And Regulation</h3>
Congress Reintroduces STATES 2.0 Act
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers reintroduced the STATES 2.0 Act, which would shield legal cannabis activity from federal interference. The bill would also legalize interstate commerce, normalize IRS treatment of cannabis businesses and establish a framework for federal oversight and testing.
"The current federal approach to cannabis policy is not working," said Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus. "The STATES 2.0 Act creates a more logical approach that protects states' rights while improving public safety."
The bill maintains FDA oversight for cannabis products, removes barriers to tax deductions under Section 280E, and instructs federal agencies to begin rulemaking within 180 days of passage. Supporters include Reps. Max Miller (R-OH), Dina Titus (D-NV) and a coalition of advocacy organizations including CPEAR, Americans for Prosperity, and the U.S. Cannabis Roundtable.

Minnesota Finalizes Adult-Use Cannabis Rules
The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced that final adult-use rules were published in the State Register and are now in effect. With this step completed, OCM can begin issuing business licenses to qualifying applicants, including more than 600 social equity applicants already advanced through preapproval.
"We are continuing to prioritize social equity in every stage of licensing," said Jess Jackson, OCM's director of social equity. Licenses for capped categories such as cultivator and retailer will be awarded via lottery later this summer, while uncapped license types will be distributed on a rolling basis.
<a class="" href="https://cannabis.mn.gov">Details available on the OCM Rulemaking page</a>
Slovenia Unveils Progressive Medical Cannabis Law
Slovenia's Parliament introduced sweeping medical cannabis reforms that would legalize the cultivation, production and distribution of cannabis for medical and scientific use. The bill eliminates public tenders, allows open licensing for private companies and removes cannabis and THC from the country's prohibited drugs list—so long as products meet GACP, GMP and European Pharmacopeia standards.
Cannabis will be available via standard medical or veterinary prescriptions, and patient access is guaranteed through pharmacies, licensed distributors and healthcare providers.
The legislation follows a 2024 referendum in which 66.7% of voters supported cannabis cultivation and legalization for medical use. According to ICBC, the new framework would position Slovenia as having the most advanced medical cannabis law in Europe.

DeSantis Faces Scrutiny Over Anti-Cannabis Funding
A Miami Herald investigation revealed that the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a legal Medicaid settlement to a charity led by Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis. That charity then gave $5 million each to two organizations backing a political committee that opposed Amendment 3, the failed 2024 initiative to legalize adult-use cannabis in Florida.
The money flowed from the Hope Florida Foundation to Secure Florida's Future and Save Our Society from Drugs, which then routed millions to Keep Florida Clean, a DeSantis-aligned committee. Republican lawmakers are now demanding records and investigating whether public funds were improperly used to fight cannabis legalization.

Curaleaf Turns Dispensary Into Hemp Shop
Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) has converted one of its medical dispensaries in West Palm Beach into a hemp-focused retail store called The Hemp Company. The location will offer Farm Bill-compliant THC products from Curaleaf brands and partners like 1906 and Cann.
The move comes as Curaleaf distances itself from Florida's stalled adult-use push and signals short-term interest in the rapidly growing hemp-derived THC segment.
Trulieve Invests $19.6M To Revive Legalization Push
Trulieve (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) contributed $19.6 million to Smart &amp; Safe Florida to support another attempt at adult-use legalization in 2026. That's in addition to the $145 million the company spent on the failed 2024 initiative.
So far, only 150,804 signatures have been verified out of the 880,062 needed to qualify for the next ballot, raising questions about whether other operators will step in to help fund the campaign.

"We've built a gorgeous dispensary that fits in on Madison Avenue," said CEO Arish Halani. "One day we'll be doing collabs with the biggest brands in the world."

Landmark Study Confirms Cannabis Benefits for Cancer Patients
In what may be the most comprehensive review of its kind, Cancer Playbook and the Whole Health Oncology Institute published a meta-analysis of over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies on medical cannabis and cancer. The result: a 3-to-1 scientific consensus in favor of cannabis for treating cancer-related symptoms, including inflammation, metastasis, appetite loss and pain.
"We expected controversy. What we found was overwhelming scientific consensus," said Ryan Castle, WHOI's head of research.
The study also incorporated patient-reported outcomes to highlight real-world effectiveness—marking a shift toward more holistic, experience-driven research models. Findings from this report were submitted to the DEA as part of the case for rescheduling cannabis.

Israel Slaps 165% Tariffs on Canadian Cannabis
In a dramatic turn, Israel's Ministry of Economy announced it will impose tariffs of up to 165% on Canadian cannabis imports for the next four years. The decision—pending approval by the Knesset Finance Committee—carves out exceptions for select producers like Decibel (12%), Village Farms (28%), Organigram (53%) and Tilray (70%).
The move signals a potential realignment of the global cannabis trade, with implications for both exporters and Israeli medical patients.

'Ford Halts Shipments of F-150s and Other Models to China'- WSJ

It was the summer of 1971. The United States was embroiled in the Vietnam War, inflationary pressures were building, and global confidence in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">U.S. dollar was faltering. </a>
On August 15, President Richard Nixon addressed the nation and made a historic announcement: the U.S. would suspend the convertibility of dollars into gold, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system.
The move—now known as the "Nixon Shock"—broke the last tie between paper money and the precious metal, inaugurating the era of floating fiat currencies and sparking one of the most consequential monetary transitions in modern history.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold vs. Stocks Performance Since Nixon Killed The Gold Standard</h3>
Imagine waking up on August 16, 1971, with $5,000 to invest. 
The S&amp;P 500 index was trading at 100 points, while an ounce of gold cost just $43.50. 
Had you bought gold, you would have taken home around 115 ounces of bullion. Had you put your money into the S&amp;P 500, you&#8217;d have secured a diversified slice of the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies.
At first glance, gold appears to have been the winning bet. 
Fast forward to April 2025, and those 115 ounces of gold would now be worth roughly $379,500, based on a spot price of $3,330 per ounce. 
That&#8217;s a total return of about 7,500%—not bad for something you can stash in a vault.
By contrast, the S&amp;P 500 has grown from 100 to 5,282 points over the same period, delivering a price appreciation of approximately 5,182%. Your $5,000 would have grown to just $264,100. 
Gold wins. Yet, only on paper.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Dividend Illusion</h3>
Here&#8217;s what most investors miss: the S&amp;P 500 index, as quoted daily, reflects only price movements. 
It doesn't account for the powerful stream of dividends that companies pay out to shareholders—cash payments that, when reinvested, have a compounding effect on long-term returns.
If you had collected those dividends every year and simply pocketed them in cash without reinvesting, your total would have been modestly higher than the price-only return. 
Over 53 years, with an average dividend yield of around 2.81%, you would have accumulated about $7,452 in cash. 
Combined with the $264,100 value of your original stock investment, you'd have ended up with roughly $271,552. Better than the price-only figure, but still well behind gold.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Power Of Reinvestment</h3>
Now let's consider the full picture. If you had reinvested every dividend back into the S&amp;P 500 over those 54 years, your $5,000 would have ballooned into an astonishing $1,185,516.
That's not a typo. It's a total return of 23,610%, or 47x your original investment. 
The power of compounding, of reinvesting the cash paid out by companies rather than spending it or letting it sit idle, is what transforms long-term equity investing into a wealth-generating engine.
So while gold may have shone brightly during the inflationary storms and monetary turmoil that followed Nixon's speech, it ultimately lagged behind the compounding machine that is the S&amp;P 500, with one important condition: you had to reinvest those dividends.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are S&amp;P 500 ETFs Reinvesting Dividends?</h3>
Today's investment vehicles tracking the S&amp;P 500—such as the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)—do provide investors with exposure to dividends, but they are distributing funds. This means that dividends are paid out in cash and are not automatically reinvested within the ETF. 
To replicate the compounding effect seen in historical total return scenarios, investors must manually reinvest those dividends or activate a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) through their brokerage account.

AMMO Finalizes Sale of Its Ammunition Manufacturing Assets to Olin Winchester; No Financial Terms Disclosed

Renowned investor and political commentator Anthony Scaramucci foresees a possible division within the Republican Party, attributing it to President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who once served as a spokesperson for Trump, expressed his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s trade policy and its repercussions on the U.S. economy. 
He also hinted at the possibility of discontented Republicans forming a new party, drawing parallels with the Republican separation&nbsp;from the Whigs in the&nbsp;1850s. He provided guidance to Democrats on strategies to counter Trump&#8217;s influence.
Scaramucci, who has ties with both major U.S. political parties, has not shied away from expressing his disapproval&nbsp;of Trump&#8217;s trade and economic&nbsp;policies. He also shared his thoughts on how Democrats and Republicans should react.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-scaramucci-trump-republicans-democrats-tariffs-trade-political-strategy-wokeism-2025-4">by </a>Insider, Scaramucci has observed that opposing Trump has often led to the end of political careers for Republicans. Nevertheless, he is of the opinion that if his predictions materialize, politicians who are on good terms with Trump may need to create some distance before the midterm elections.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44658808/scaramucci-on-tariffs-there-is-stupid-and-then-there-is-donald-trump-stupid">Scaramucci on Tariffs: &#8216;There Is Stupid and Then There Is Donald Trump Stupid&#8217;</a>
Scaramucci also encouraged Democrats to take a leaf out of Trump&#8217;s book when it comes to authenticity and connecting with the middle class. He cautioned Democrats against underestimating issues such as border security and economic challenges, even if they are in disagreement with Trump&#8217;s approach.
Finally, Scaramucci highlighted the necessity for Democrats to improve their messaging. He pointed out that their failure to effectively promote their achievements has given Trump the opportunity to advance his trade policy.
Why It Matters: Scaramucci&#8217;s predictions and advice come at a time when the U.S. is grappling with political polarization and economic uncertainty. 
His insights could potentially influence the strategies of both Democrats and Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. 
His comments also highlight the ongoing debate about Trump&#8217;s trade policies and their impact on the U.S. economy.

Is StoneX Group Gaining or Losing Market Support?

In the current market session, Conagra Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>) price is at $25.38, after a 1.93% increase. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 1.36%, and in the past year, by 18.55%. 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/2025/1744999220_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Conagra Brands P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Conagra Brands has a better P/E ratio of 36.62 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 21.63 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that Conagra Brands Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744999220_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.

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has gone from being an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI crown jewel</a> to a geopolitical chess piece. And, it looks like Wall Street just got a front-row seat to a high-stakes poker game between Washington and Beijing.
After weeks of tension, the first real blow in the U.S.-China tech trade war has landed: the White House is blocking Nvidia's H20 chip sales to China. "This week were the first shots fired in the trade war in the tech world," said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.
With 145% reciprocal tariffs in play, and tech still awaiting Section 232 hits &#8211; Nvidia is now "caught in the eye of this Category 5 storm," said Ives. While the financial damage may be manageable for now, the strategic signal is deafening. America's most prized chipmaker just got walled off from the world's second-largest economy. "Nvidia is one of the most important pieces in this chess game with China&#8230;and restricting its H20 chips is an important move that will clearly spark more actions from Beijing."

Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly in China &#8211; an eyebrow-raising detail amid rising tensions. As Ives puts it, "the Street waits for the next poker move."
While Nvidia's dominance in AI remains unchallenged, the short-term turbulence is real. The market is already "baking in a 7%-10% (or more) cut to 2025 numbers across the board," Ives says. The upcoming June quarter? A mulligan, with "minimal/no guidance expected during this earnings season."
Adding fuel to the fire: Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and others are now seeing similar restrictions, a trend that's been brewing since the Biden administration but is now front and center in Trump's trade war redux. Ives doesn't mince words: "The Trump Administration knows there is one chip and company fueling the AI Revolution and it's Nvidia… and put a ‘Do Not Enter' sign in front of China."
Nvidia remains the ace in America's AI hand &#8211; but right now, it's being played in a global poker game, not an earnings report.
