Analyst Expectations For Tyler Technologies's Future

Looking into the current session, Laureate Education Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAUR#NASDAQ">LAUR</a>) shares are trading at $19.61, after a 0.05% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.08%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 32.50%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745528420_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Laureate Education P/E Against 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. 
Laureate Education has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 37.77 of the Diversified Consumer Services 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/2025/1745528420_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.

Total revenue jumped 6.5% year-over-year due to volume increases and pricing. Shipment volume for the quarter totaled approximately 1.7 million barrels, up&nbsp;5.3%&nbsp;year-over-year. The shipment growth was driven primarily by increases in Sun Cruiser, Hard Mountain Dew and Twisted Tea brands, partially offset by declines in the Truly brand. Depletions were down 1% year-over-year in the first quarter.
Boston Beer said it repurchased $49.2 million of its common stock in the quarter and has already repurchased another $11.3 million of shares since the quarter&#8217;s end. The company ended the period with a cash balance of $152.5 million.
&#8220;Our&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;performance reflects a solid start to the year as we increased our market share and significantly expanded gross margin,&#8221; said Michael Spillane, president and CEO of Boston Beer.
&#8220;As the macroeconomic climate continues to be challenging, we remain focused on executing our strong operating plans for the summer season, across our core brands and our recently introduced innovations, supported in both cases by targeted advertising investment.&#8221;

B Of A Securities analyst Andrew Obin revised the estimates upward for GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) following the company&#8217;s first-quarter results <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44955951" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported on Wednesday</a>.
The company reported revenue growth of 11% year-over-year to $8.03 billion and +15% organically, beating the consensus of $7.54 billion and EPS of 91 cents, beating&nbsp;the consensus of 53 cents.

The company stated that this guidance accounts for tariffs and inflation, estimated at $300-$400 million, net of mitigating actions.
Obin maintained the 2025 adjusted EBITDA estimate at $3.5 billion (up 73% year-over-year), above the consensus estimate of $3.2 billion.
The analyst&#8217;s projection assumes a 6% year-over-year organic revenue growth and a 360 basis point year-over-year margin expansion.
The positive performance in the first quarter and a favorable tailwind from foreign exchange are expected to help offset the increased net tariff headwinds of $300-400 million, adds the analyst.
For 2026 too, Obin reiterated the adjusted EBITDA estimate at $5.4 billion (up 53% year-over-year), higher than the consensus estimate of $4.5 billion.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been unanimously adopted by both boards of directors, shareholders of HarborOne will receive for each share of HarborOne common stock, at the holder's election, either (i) 0.765 shares of Eastern common stock (the "Stock Consideration") or (ii) $12.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), subject to allocation procedures to ensure that the total number of shares of HarborOne common stock that receive the Stock Consideration represents between 75% and 85% of the total number of shares of HarborOne common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and to provide a tax-free exchange for HarborOne shareholders for the Stock Consideration they will receive. Assuming 80% Stock Consideration, the midpoint of the range, Eastern anticipates issuing approximately 25.2 million shares of its common stock and paying an aggregate amount of $99 million in cash in the merger. Based upon Eastern's $15.48 per share closing price on April 23, 2025, the transaction is valued at approximately $490 million.
