<h2>Get to Know KKR Better</h2>
KKR is one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, with $624.4 billion in total managed assets, including $505.7 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of September 2024. The company has two core segments: asset management (which includes private markets-private equity, credit, infrastructure, energy, and real estate-and public markets-primarily credit and hedge/investment fund platforms) and insurance (following the firm's initial investment in, and then ultimate purchase of, Global Atlantic Financial Group, which is engaged in retirement/annuity and life insurance lines as well as reinsurance).
<h3>A Deep Dive into KKR's Financials</h3>
Market Capitalization: Surpassing industry standards, the company's market capitalization asserts its dominance in terms of size, suggesting a robust market position.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3 months period, KKR faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -26.81% in revenue growth as of 31 December, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Financials sector.
Net Margin: KKR's net margin falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of 35.17%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): KKR's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 4.72% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.31%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: The company faces challenges in debt management with a debt-to-equity ratio higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 2.15, caution is advised due to increased financial risk.
<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Expert Outlook: Charles Schwab Through The Eyes Of 15 Analysts

President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44646719/pdd-stock-drops-as-trumps-new-tariffs-threaten-chinese-e-commerce-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reciprocal tariffs on</a> April 2 (weighted average tariff of 18.2%, inclusive of a 10% baseline tariff and varying levels by individual country) have the potential to impact end demand trends and economic activity (both enterprise and consumer spending) for the remainder of the year, as per Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan.
Sheridan expects heightened uncertainty to slow corporate decisions between the second and fourth quarters of 2025, including a pullback in real-time investment areas (brand advertising, hiring) and management teams being more reactionary around other longer-dated investment areas (CapEx, R&amp;D, M&amp;A).
The visibility into AI CapEx&#8217;s return profile remains unclear, with broad enterprise adoption rates and consumer behavior shifts likely playing out over multiple years.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Halts Data Center Expansions Due To Semiconductor Tariff Concerns, AI Overcapacity Fears</a>
The hyperscalers remain committed to this current CapEx cycle and noted little downside to fiscal 2025 CapEx guidance for Sheridan&#8217;s companies. Under that framework, the analyst would expect that investor debates about the level of CapEx investments will only intensify in the next 6 months.
Based on Sheridan&#8217;s conversations, investor fears up until April had been more anticipatory and reactive to data points in other industries. Through the end of March, the analyst still felt relatively comfortable that his coverage&#8217;s first-quarter operating performance reflected his current estimates.
Sheridan noted the main realized headwinds to his coverage in the first quarter as the overall slowdown of travel trends and the continued softening of the lower-end consumer concerning discretionary eCommerce goods.
Looking forward, Sheridan noted a rising debate about whether tariffs might push the US consumer away from goods toward more services.
For his coverage, uncertainty remains on whether service sectors like experiences, travel, and mobility are relative beneficiaries of sharply increased tariffs on goods.
Sheridan also noted tariffs potentially supporting a growing mix of non-discretionary goods in consumer baskets.
Based on the analyst&#8217;s recent industry conversations, advertising spending is likely to see some impact for the remainder of the year as companies weigh both lower potential end demand and higher input cost inflation. While overall ad spending tends to be a bit of a lagging indicator, the programmatic nature of digital makes certain digital channels and platforms more volatile and subject to real-time pullbacks.
Within digital, Sheridan noted platform exposure to certain pockets of ad spend will dictate the level of headwinds each company sees for the remainder of the year.
On TikTok US, press reports indicate an increasing likelihood of some resolution to keep TikTok operational in the US. Even with a potential resolution, Sheridan&#8217;s channel checks point to a pullback from peak levels of both users, engagement, and, more materially, ad spending on the platform as the ongoing uncertainty has weighed on advertiser demand.
At a high level, tariff impacts on eCommerce businesses are largely an output of the volume and cost of goods sold (COGS) exposure by geography, how much price can be passed on to consumers, the resulting decrease in units (elasticity), how much margin can be extracted from suppliers, and the level of substitution of suppliers and geographies.
In a companion note, Sheridan exhibited an illustrative framework for Amazon.com Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) 1P business concerning these factors.
As a notable offset, the closing of the de minimis exemption for China likely removes competitive pressures from the broader US eCommerce industry. The recent wave of China-based exporters (PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pdd#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu and TikTok Shop, and others) that have been heavily reliant on the exemption now face sizable tariffs.
Although these companies have flattened out their U.S. ad spending in recent quarters, Sheridan still anticipates slight headwinds to advertising trends due to less dense auctions if these players leave the market.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Assessing Ubiquiti: Insights From 4 Financial Analysts

Looking into the current session, Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) shares are trading at $196.46, after a 10.73% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 10.78%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 25.55%. 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/2025/1743796821_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Cheniere Energy 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. 
Cheniere Energy has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 22.02 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels 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/2025/1743796821_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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Vail Resorts has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Vail Resorts's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Vail Resorts's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 13.65%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

Fabrinet Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (7 Ratings)

Loop Capital analyst Chris Dankert maintains MSC Industrial Direct Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSM#NYSE">MSM</a>) with a Hold and lowers the price target from $83 to $74.

Loop Capital Maintains Hold on MSC Industrial Direct Co, Lowers Price Target to $74

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) shares are trading lower Friday after President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and introduced sweeping new tariffs targeting several major U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">trade partners on Wednesday. </a>
What To Know: Trump used emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to justify the move, aiming to slash the $1.2 trillion U.S. trade deficit. The White House described the action as a defense of American workers and a reassertion of fair trade rules. 
Details on the full tariff list were outlined in a White House fact sheet, but even before the specifics fully landed, markets reacted to the broad scope and tone of the announcement. Tech stocks, including hardware makers like Dell, were hit hard as investors anticipated higher import costs and possible retaliatory tariffs from affected countries.
Dell's drop may reflect concerns about exposure to foreign suppliers and the risk of rising component prices if trade barriers tighten further. 
DELL Price Action: Dell Technologies shares were down 7.3% at $71.58 at the time of writing, according to Benzinga Pro.

Loop Capital Maintains Hold on SiteOne Landscape Supply, Lowers Price Target to $125

The new trade war precipitated by President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647999/trumps-tariff-war-could-take-us-tech-industry-back-a-decade-while-china-steam-rolls-ahead-analyst-says">Donald Trump‘s tariffs</a> has turned investors against companies heavily involved in the import-export market. Instead, companies with stable revenue, low valuations and little exposure to trade are rising.
Especially ones that offer nice dividends. Today, let&#8217;s look at a couple of examples.
Then, we will consider the three best dividend funds to capture this trend.
Consider companies like Verizon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) (6.07% dividend right now), which does not purchase or sell products in overseas markets, or tobacco giant Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) (7.25% dividend), which sells most of its products in the USA.
Past that, dividend stocks and funds have been performing well in 2025.
&#8220;Dividend-oriented strategies have performed well in the first quarter of 2025,&#8221; said William Connor, CFA, CFP, partner at Sax Wealth Advisors. &#8220;The SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDY#NYSE">SDY</a>) generated a positive return during Q1 2025 of 2.71%, which compares favorably with the S&amp;P 500, which lost 4.55% in the first quarter of 2025.&#8221;
Although the S&amp;P 500 has outperformed over the last year, increasing 7.1% while the SDY was up 3.86%, dividend stocks tend to be less volatile, often due to the more defensive nature of the economic sectors in which they operate. &#8220;Ned Davis Research conducted a study of dividend-paying companies compared to non-dividend-paying companies,&#8221; Connor noted. &#8220;The results illustrated what many investors intuitively feel; dividend stocks exhibit lower volatility than non-dividend payers and a broad index like the S&amp;P 500.&#8221;
That data matters at a time when the Trump administration has sought a level playing field on tariffs, causing major upheaval in global markets.
&#8220;The impact of potential tariffs on the economy is unknowable at this point, given that the specifics have yet to be announced,&#8221; Connor said. &#8220;What is likely is the uncertainty around tariffs (amounts, sectors, and exemptions, for example) is leading many investors to be concerned about the outlook for US stocks.&#8221;
Since dividend stocks have been less volatile over time than the average stock, it&#8217;s reasonable for investors concerned with the growth outlook to focus on them. &#8220;The dividend payment provides a steady, predictable return to help manage volatility and risk,&#8221; Connor added.
Given the volatility linked to trade and tariffs, will that be the case going forward? Yes and no.
&#8220;In the short-term, tariffs are likely to be seen as a negative for dividend stocks – particularly globally-focused companies – as tariffs increase the price of imported goods or raw materials, which can impact profitability,&#8221; said Rob Edwards, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Florida-based Edwards Asset Management.
In the long run, however, Edwards believes dividend stocks should prosper, even with tariffs, as they are typically more mature companies that have proven resilient to many economic challenges.
&#8220;I believe that you should own dividend stocks to invest throughout an entire market cycle, not around it,&#8221; he noted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Solid Dividend ETFs</h2>
Rather than take your chances with one or two individual dividend-paying stocks, curb some downside risk by leveraging dividend exchange-traded funds, where you can also get some bang for your buck.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF</h3>
Like the best dividend ETFs, the SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDY#NYSE">SDY</a>) is a tax-efficient, low-cost, highly liquid investment with broad exposure to high-quality stocks.
The fund aims to produce investment results corresponding to the total return performance of the S&amp;P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. &#8220;The fund really focuses on S&amp;P Composite 1500 Index companies that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 20 consecutive years,&#8221; Connor said.
Dividend payments are about 0.80% and the fund has returned 4.76% year-to-date.
Dividend ETFs are not flashy, but they&#8217;re steady, and that&#8217;s what Steven Kibbel, a financial planner and chief editorial advisor at Gold IRA Companies in Franklin, Tenn. &#8220;Many people, especially retirees I work with, like them because they give regular income without needing to sell shares. That matters when you&#8217;re trying to make your savings last. These funds mostly hold big companies that keep paying dividends no matter what&#8217;s going on in the market. Think utilities, healthcare, and food companies. That kind of thing.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF</h3>
One dividend fund Kibbel favors holds those same traits &#8211; Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>).
&#8220;It&#8217;s simple, low-cost, and holds strong companies with solid financials,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve used it for years with clients who want income and stability. Another one I use is iShares Select Dividend (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVY#NASDAQ">DVY</a>). That one focuses more on higher yields. It&#8217;s not always the right fit for everyone, but it works well if income is the top goal.&#8221;
SCHD currently offers a healthy 3.85% dividend; its year-to-date returns are 2.93% compared to 4.49% for its category.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> iShares Core High Dividend ETF</h3>
iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HDV#NYSE">HDV</a>) is another popular pick among money managers.
The fund holds 75 high-dividend-paying stocks and is energy-heavy, with Exxon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) comprising two of the top three fund holdings. Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) also joins the group. 
Big-cap brand names are the fund&#8217;s bread and butter, although no one stock tops 9.3% of its holdings (that would be Exxon). The fund is up 7.75% and has generally landed in the 10% annual return range since it launched in 2011. HDV also offers a robust 3.41% dividend yield with an ultra-low 0.8% expense ratio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Look For With Dividend ETFs</h2>
Before you get rolling on dividend funds and kick some tires, have a game plan to leverage that matches you up with the right fund.
&#8220;You want an ETF that holds reliable stocks with a history of raising dividends annually, and that offers a true hedge against inflation,&#8221; said Ketti Rose, the CEO and founder of Wealthy Femme, a money management platform geared toward women investors. &#8220;Also, ensure the expense ratio is low – the less, the better, as there&#8217;s no need to sacrifice returns for fees.&#8221;
Additionally, seek out ETFs that maintained steady — or even increased — dividends through past recessions (e.g., in 2008 or 2020). &#8220;That&#8217;s a strength you can depend on,&#8221; Rose noted.
