Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on FirstEnergy, Lowers Price Target to $41

J.P. Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss reiterated an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FUN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underweight rating</a> on the shares of Six Flags Entertainment Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUN#NYSE">FUN</a>) with a price forecast of $46.00.
FUN&#8217;s fourth-quarter EBITDA fell approximately 30% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/44006051/six-flags-entertainment-q4-sales-miss-estimates-ceo-highlights-cost-synergies" rel="noreferrer noopener">short of the Street&#8217;s estimate of $190 million.</a>
The miss was driven by both revenue and cost discrepancies, with revenue increasing 3.6% year-over-year to $687 million, below the Street&#8217;s forecast of $704 million. According to the analyst, higher total costs resulted in an EBITDA margin of 19.0%, well below the Street&#8217;s 27.0% estimate.
On attendance, FUN reported a total of 10.7 million visitors, marking a 6.2% year-over-year increase, slightly missing the Street&#8217;s projected 6.5% growth.
Management explained that the 576,000 fewer visits at legacy Cedar Fair were due to a calendar shift, resulting in &#8220;core&#8221; Cedar Fair attendance growth of 8%.
Management reported positive early demand trends for fiscal year 2025, with a 2% year-over-year increase in attendance for the first two months.

The analyst highlighted that management reiterated its target of 55 million attendees by 2027, describing 2025 as a volume-focused year that will contribute to long-term growth.
The company expects a 3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2027, with 2025 likely below this average, while 2026 and 2027 should see higher growth, driven by ongoing investments to enhance the guest experience.
Management emphasized that in 2025, its primary focus is driving volume, which often involves being less aggressive on pricing, though price increases will still be considered.
As a result, growth in admissions per capita is expected to face downward pressure, likely resulting in negative year-over-year growth, compared to the Street&#8217;s forecast of +0.8%.
While the combined entity of FUN, with 42 parks, including 27 amusement parks and 15 water parks, is well-positioned within the regional theme park sector, benefiting from geographic diversification and the opportunity to enhance the guest experience, the analyst notes these advantages are already reflected in the current valuation.
Additionally, the analyst identifies several potential risks over the next few years, including: challenges in regaining attendance alongside possible pricing pressure on admissions and in-park spending, a higher cost base, excluding synergies, as the two brands are starting from different points, and an elevated capital expenditure cycle required to improve Six Flags&#8217; assets, which could pressure free cash flow and capital allocation, especially given current debt leverage of around 4.8x.
Price Action: FUN shares are trading higher by 2.35% at $44.38 at the last check Friday.

CoreWeave, a cloud computing firm backed by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), is racing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ipo">toward an IPO</a>. 
It aims to raise $4 billion at a valuation north of $35 billion.
CoreWeave could file for a U.S. listing within a week, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-26/ai-cloud-firm-coreweave-eyes-filing-4-billion-ipo-within-a-week">reported</a> Bloomberg, setting the stage for one of the year's most anticipated debuts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Crypto To AI Powerhouse</h2>
Originally a cryptocurrency mining outfit, CoreWeave pivoted to AI in 2019 and hasn't looked back. 
The company was an early and aggressive buyer of Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs, amassing a staggering 300,000 chips — now the backbone of AI model training worldwide.
This strategic bet has paid off, with revenues skyrocketing from $25 million in 2022 to $2 billion in 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street's Newest Darling?</h2>
Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are steering the IPO, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/579176c5-a769-4102-8010-3965c4b717a7">Financial Times</a>. 
Investor appetite is already being tested. While the company has serious backers — Nvidia, Coatue, Jane Street, and Fidelity — it also carries a hefty $11 billion debt load, much of it backed by its prized Nvidia chips.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Shifting AI Landscape</h2>
CoreWeave's biggest customer, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), has committed over $10 billion through 2030, but there's a catch &#8211; Microsoft's AI infrastructure strategy is evolving.
With reports of data center contracts being unwound, investors are questioning whether CoreWeave can sustain its meteoric rise.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Stakes Are High</h2>
As AI demand surges, CoreWeave's IPO will be a litmus test for the "neocloud" market. 
If it lands smoothly, it could validate the booming GPU-rental business. If not, it may signal turbulence ahead in AI's high-stakes gold rush.

Starbucks Unusual Options Activity For February 28

Michael from Davenport, Iowa, appears to have his finances completely under control. At just 31 years old, he owns three hog farms, has zero debt, lives in a fully paid-off home, and has saved $431,000 in cash. Yet, during an episode of <a href="https://youtu.be/YB0OSGmbbGE?si=bVLSBP3PogZ7oEhM">The Ramsey Show</a> last spring, Michael shared a serious disagreement with his wife—one that host Dave Ramsey swiftly identified as a significant blind spot.
The issue? Michael's wife wants to purchase a modest home in town for $45,000. Their current home sits too close to their hog sheds, and the persistent odor has become unbearable for her. They had previously rented the home in town, but after the landlord passed away, his daughter offered them the opportunity to purchase it outright.
Michael, however, is hesitant. He prefers to use his savings to fund a new hog shed—a hefty business investment totaling approximately $930,000.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey's Blunt Response: "Buy the house."</h2>
Ramsey directly confronted Michael's reasoning, quickly highlighting the underlying issue:
"You're a great farmer and a great businessman. You know your numbers inside and out. You take care of all the details—I can hear it. I think you're very, very good at what you do. You suck at taking care of your wife."
Ramsey emphasized the stark difference between Michael's willingness to invest nearly a million dollars in another hog shed versus his hesitation over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/02/43789996/dave-ramsey-says-a-paid-off-mortgage-is-the-new-status-symbol-not-a-bmw-do-you-agree">purchasing a $45,000 house</a> for his wife.
"She's not asking to buy a $4 million house," Ramsey emphasized clearly. "She's not asking you to sell off your hog farm… and she's not even asking you to slow down. The $45,000 is not even going to slow you down."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Problem: Balancing Marriage and Money</h2>
While Ramsey applauded Michael's financial discipline and savvy business sense, he and co-host Rachel Cruz identified a deeper issue—Michael's failure to consider his wife's perspective. Cruz specifically pointed out Michael's repeated focus on himself, noting he frequently said "I" instead of "we," suggesting a lack of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43768530/should-married-couples-split-expenses-dave-ramsey-says-no-youre-married-not-roommates">balance and teamwork</a> in his thinking.
Cruz reminded Michael that marriage works best when both people are treated as equal teammates. "You guys are a team, and part of a team is there's an A and a B—it's not just an A," Cruz said. "Bring her in. She has as much weight and as much value to the conversation and how she wants to live her life as much as you."
She also emphasized that Michael's wife wasn't asking for much. Cruz pointed out how simple it would be to grant her request, and how meaningful it would feel for his wife to have her desires recognized.
Ramsey backed up Cruz's point by sharing some personal wisdom gathered over decades of marriage and running a business. He explained that keeping life peaceful at home helps him handle stress better at work, making him more effective overall. "The best thing I can do is have no drama at home because I've got enough of it at work," Ramsey said. "It makes me more valuable when I'm at work."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Michael Really Taking Good Care of His Wife?</h2>
From a neutral perspective, Michael's resistance to spending just $45,000 of his significant savings on a home his wife wants raises legitimate concerns about his marital priorities. Ramsey made it clear that marriage involves compromise, emotional support, and valuing each other's comfort—not just financial discipline.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Investments Aren't Measured in Dollars Alone</h2>
Ramsey's advice drove home a simple point. Money matters, but your marriage matters more. Michael clearly knows how to grow a business, but Ramsey reminded him that the smartest move sometimes has nothing to do with profit margins or hog sheds. His advice was straightforward and impossible to miss: "Buy the house."
When your spouse asks for something reasonable—especially something as modest as a $45,000 home—it's probably the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">easiest decision you'll ever make</a>.

<img alt="price to book PB ratio ratio compare stock price valuation with company real assets book value or equity vector" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250226103542_3-stocks-with-triple-digit-pes-that-are-still-wort.jpg" style="height:515px; width:1200px" />
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is one of the most commonly used metrics to determine whether a stock is expensive or cheap. Generally, the higher the P/E ratio, the more expensive a stock is relative to its earnings. But in times of risk-on sentiment, investors tend to overlook sky-high P/E ratios, betting on growth potential and momentum instead.
However, when sentiment shifts more defensively, stocks with triple-digit P/Es often get hit the hardest. That&#39;s exactly what&#39;s happening right now with <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). Each of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these tech giants</a> has a P/E well over 100 and is currently seeing a decent amount of selling pressure.
However, sometimes steep declines create attractive entry opportunities for those willing to bet on the long-term story. Let&#39;s take a closer look at why each of these three stocks could be setting up for a bounce in March.
<h2>PLTR: A 30% Pullback But Still Holding February&#39;s Gains</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:PLTR]
Palantir has had a wild ride this month. After hitting a record high earlier in February, the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/palantir-stock-nears-bear-market-territory-why-and-whats-next/">stock has since tumbled nearly 30%</a>, giving back a large chunk of its recent gains.
Much of the selling pressure stems from concerns about potential U.S. defense spending cuts, which could impact Palantir&#39;s government contracts. And with a P/E ratio of 480, the stock is undoubtedly one of the most expensive on the market.
However, it&#39;s worth noting that Palantir crushed analyst expectations in its early February earnings report, proving that its business momentum remains strong. Additionally, analysts remain bullish, with Loop Capital issuing a Buy rating last week and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a $141 price target</a>, which points to a targeted upside of more than 50%. If sentiment stabilizes and buyers step back in, Palantir could quickly reclaim lost ground and push higher into March.
<h2>TSLA: A High-Priced Stock That&#39;s Becoming Oversold</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:TSLA]
Tesla is no stranger to high valuations, but with a P/E of 162, it trades 27 times higher than <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/F/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ford Motor Co (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>). Given that the stock has been selling off for many weeks now, this comparison clearly does not sit well with many investors.
Since peaking in December, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/tesla-just-shook-the-marketwill-it-crash-or-soar-next/">Tesla has since fallen 30%</a>, dragged down by <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/earnings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a weak earnings report</a> in late January that added to valuation concerns. When a stock already trades at a high multiple and then disappoints on earnings, Wall Street tends to react aggressively, which is exactly what we&#39;re seeing now.
However, Tesla may be approaching a turning point. Its RSI reading is 32, which suggests the stock is nearing extremely oversold territory. If it drops just a bit further, it could soon trigger a technical bounce, if not a full recovery rally. For investors willing to look past the valuation concerns and focus on Tesla&#39;s long-term growth story, this pullback could offer an attractive entry point before momentum shifts again.
<h2>AVGO: A 20% Pullback With a Big Catalyst Ahead</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO]
Broadcom&#39;s stock price has dropped nearly 20% since December&#39;s high, including a sharp 10% decline over the past three sessions alone.
At a P/E of 161, Broadcom looks far more expensive than key semiconductor peers like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/NVDA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with its P/E of 51, and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/QCOM/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) with its P/E of 17, making it a prime target for valuation-based selling.
But there&#39;s one major reason to keep an eye on Broadcom - its track record of delivering strong earnings. Next week&#39;s Q1 earnings report could be a key catalyst that reverses the stock&#39;s recent slide. Adding to the bullish case, Morgan Stanley recently <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">issued an Overweight rating</a> and a $246 price target, suggesting a nearly 20% upside from Monday&#39;s closing price of $207.
If Broadcom delivers solid numbers next week, expect the stock to bounce sharply off its recent lows as investors refocus on its long-term strength rather than its high valuation.
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
Triple-digit P/E stocks are often the first to sell off when sentiment shifts defensive, but they can also be the first to bounce back once the dust settles.
Palantir&#39;s recent pullback may be overdone, Tesla is nearing oversold conditions, and Broadcom has a major earnings catalyst ahead. For investors willing to weather the short-term volatility, these three stocks could be setting up for strong moves in March.

The struggling chipmaker&#8217;s financial issues have prompted it to delay the construction of its $28 billion semiconductor project in central Ohio for the&nbsp;second time in 2025, TechCrunch <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/intel-delays-its-ohio-chip-factory-to-2030/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The factory, one of two Intel plans to build in Ohio, was initially likely to begin operating in 2025. Intel might not likely be able to complete constructing the first factory in New Albany until 2030, Reuters reports. Reportedly, Intel has invested $3.7 billion locally.

Intel&nbsp;stock plunged 43% in the last 12 months as it lagged to monetize the AI frenzy akin to Taiwan Semiconductor, thereby <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42344006/intel-interim-co-chief-expects-ceo-to-have-foundry-experience-stands-by-forecast" rel="noreferrer noopener">losing its veteran</a> CEO Pat Gelsinger.
