Although swings in net exports have affected the data, recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace. The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent months, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that the risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen.
In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.

In the current market session, Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBI#NYSE">PBI</a>) stock price is at $8.89, after a 1.71% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 4.77%, and in the past year, by 75.10%.

<h3>Comparing Pitney Bowes P/E Against Its 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. 
Pitney Bowes has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 18.07 of the Commercial Services &amp; Supplies 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/2025/1746640833_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.

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) is flat at 0.1%, with commentators discussing how a deal between Ripple and Circle would have impacted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44252537/xrps-rlusd-stablecoin-has-only-0-7-market-share-what-is-going-on">the stablecoin landscape</a>.
What Happened: In his X <a href="https://x.com/nicrypto/status/1920117273886330895">post</a> on May 7, Puckrin discussed how Circle, the issuer of USDC, processes over $25 trillion annually and manages a $61 billion stablecoin market. 
Acquiring it would have given Ripple instant scale in the stablecoin arena, bolstering its RLUSD stablecoin and greatly expanded its institutional reach.
The $5 billion bid reportedly fell short as Circle eyes a post-IPO valuation boost, with CEO Jeremy Allaire framing the IPO as a long-term infrastructure play, not an exit.
Such a move would mark a significant strategic pivot for Ripple, expanding its ambitions beyond XRP and directly challenging Tether's dominance. 
It also highlights how vital stablecoins have become in the race to define crypto's financial infrastructure layer.

Another analyst, Traderview2, <a href="https://x.com/traderview2/status/1920142349407019012">notes</a> XRP's resilience amid market weakness. 
Unlike many alts, it's still holding its December range, even as Bitcoin dominance pulls liquidity from smaller tokens. 
On the daily chart, XRP remains technically healthy, recent price action bounced off the yearly VWAP, was rejected at the quarterly VWAP, and is now approaching monthly VWAP near the $2.00 range low.
A bounce here would confirm continued strength. But if XRP loses that level, it could flip the bias bearish. Until then, structure remains intact, and bulls are still in the game.

President Trump Says Not Open To Pulling Back 145% Tariffs; Says Might Be Easing Chip Policy Toward Gulf

JPMorgan analyst Mark Strouse cut the price forecast on SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) following first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings results reported on Tuesday</a>.
The analyst revised the price forecast from $20 to $18, while retaining an Overweight rating.
The company reported revenues of $219.5 million. That&#8217;s up 12% sequentially. It also beat the consensus of $203.66 million and reported an adjusted loss per share of $1.14, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45224455/behind-solaredges-surprise-beat-a-rebound-story-investors-cant-ignore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Street View for a loss of $1.16</a>.
For the second quarter, the company expects revenue of $265 million-$285 million (versus consensus of $247.96 million. It also anticipates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted gross margin of 8% – 12%</a>.
The analyst says that the results slightly beat expectations, and its second-quarter revenue guidance is also slightly above expectations.
Nevertheless, the gross margin guidance just met consensus, including a 200 bps US tariff headwind, adds the analyst.
Strouse notes that SEDG expects increased tariff impact in the second half of FY25 and projects free cash flow to break even (down from positive due to tariffs), but they can likely repay September convertible debt with cash.
Europe remains soft, but channel destocking should normalize by the end of the second quarter, and SEDG believes its regional market share has improved, says the analyst.
The analyst revised FY25 adjusted EPS estimate to $(2.49) from $(1.63).
On Wednesday, the company unveiled its new solar-powered EV charging solution for businesses, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45249632/solaredge-launches-new-solar-powered-ev-charging-solution-designed-to-significantly-reduce-ev-char" rel="noreferrer noopener">which is available immediately</a>.
Businesses using SolarEdge solar systems can now utilize &#8220;power-optimized&#8221; solar energy to charge their EV fleets, leading to significant reductions in energy expenses, with an early beta customer reporting roughly a 70% decrease in EV charging costs.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;ProShares S&amp;P&nbsp;Kensho Cleantech ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTEX#NYSE">CTEX</a>) and&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;PKensho Clean Power ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNRG#NYSE">CNRG</a>).
Price Action: SolarEdge shares are up 2.02% at $14.66 at the last check on Wednesday.
