<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741618850_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio provides insights into the proportion of debt a company has in relation to its equity and asset value.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.

<ul>
<li>
When comparing the debt-to-equity ratio, Amazon.com is in a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a lower level of debt relative to its equity, indicating a more favorable balance between the two with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.46.

</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For the PE, PB, and PS ratios, Amazon.com is considered to have a low PE ratio, indicating potential undervaluation compared to its peers. However, its high PB and PS ratios suggest that the market values the company's assets and sales more highly.

Trader Notes: CrediBULL Crypto noted that DOGE has dropped nearly 60% after rejecting a key monthly supply zone. 
He believes the next logical targets are the range lows, where he may consider buying DOGE for the first time.

Trader Tardigrade <a href="https://x.com/TATrader_Alan/status/1899014886459683016">pointed</a> out that DOGE has experienced three major pullbacks since October 2022. 
The first two corrections of around 64% were followed by +300% and +500% surges. 
Given the current 66% pullback, he suggests a potential rally could push DOGE to $1.
Zig Zag Trades analyst Paul <a href="https://x.com/Zig_ZagTrades/status/1898898254684955062">predicts</a> DOGE could fall as low as $0.12 before attempting a major rebound. 
He sees a five-sub wave decline, with Fibonacci-based support levels pinpointing DOGE's likely bottom.
&#8220;DOGE's final corrective phase could test the $0.12–$0.15 range before a potential rally, but there are no guarantees it holds,&#8221; Paul noted.
Paul's notations highlight a Golden Zone commonly used to pinpoint Fibonacci support clusters and his markings pinpoint Fibonacci ratios that could define DOGE's near-term floor.

This movement raised curiosity if this could mean a sell-off by the whale to cash out or a strategic reshuffling or accumulation.  
Coinglass data shows Dogecoin long liquidations spiking to $19 million on Sunday, its highest levels in three weeks.

 </style>By carefully studying NVIDIA, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
The Price to Earnings ratio of 38.33 is 0.29x lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 34.66 relative to the industry average by 5.67x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 21.42, which is 2.25x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 30.42%, which is 23.91% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
With lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $25.82 Billion, which is 0.76x below the industry average, the company may face lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The company has lower gross profit of $28.72 Billion, which indicates 0.97x below the industry average. This potentially indicates lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 77.94% exceeds the industry average of 10.69%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741618822_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is an important measure to assess the financial structure and risk profile of a company.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When examining NVIDIA in comparison to its top 4 peers with respect to the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following information becomes apparent:
<ul>
<li>
When considering the debt-to-equity ratio, NVIDIA exhibits a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This indicates that the company has a favorable balance between debt and equity, with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13, which can be perceived as a positive aspect by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value and sales. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and high revenue growth suggest that NVIDIA is performing well in terms of profitability and growth compared to its industry peers.
