If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Since its release on Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) on March 13, "Adolescence" has been one of the most-watched series on the streaming platform, adding to the potential strong lineup <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43700767/netflix-stock-attractive-at-all-time-highs-for-analyst-virtuous-circle-of-strong-subscriber-growth-more-revenue-and-growing-profit">of 2025 content.</a>
Billionaire Elon Musk shared a theory about the series, which has the show's co-writer clapping back at his allegations.
What Happened: Netflix<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations"> ended the fourth quarter</a> with 301.63 million paid subscribers. The streaming giant could add to that figure throughout 2025 with many highly anticipated series coming back.
Adding to the 2025 early hype is "Adolescence."
While the series has drawn plenty of support, one social media user accused the series of "anti-white propaganda."
"Netflix has a show called Adolescence that's about a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus and it's based on real-life cases such as the Southport murderer. So guess what. They race swapped the actual killer from a black man/migrant to a white boy and the story has it so he was radicalized online by the red pill movement. Just the absolute state of anti-white propaganda," journalist Ian Miles Cheong <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1902586606575313345">tweeted</a>.
The tweet drew the attention of Musk, who replied, "Wow."
Another X user was quick to point out some false items in Cheong's tweet, including that the series was written and filming began before Southport happened.
Jack Thorne, who co-wrote "Adolescence," is now speaking out to clear the air. Thorne said on a podcast that "nothing could be further from the truth" when discussing the race-swapping allegations, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/global/adolescence-writer-rejects-race-swap-theory-elon-musk-1236352337/">Variety</a>.
"There is no part of this that's based on a true story, not one single part," Thorne said.
The series co-writer said having a white boy in the series isn't about making a point about race.
"We're not making a point about race with this. We are making a point about masculinity. We're trying to get inside a problem. We're not saying this is one thing or another, we're saying that this is about boys."

</ul>
 Why It's Important: The series drew 24.3 million views in its first week on Netflix and an additional 42 million views in its second week, ranking first among English-language shows each week.
On <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31806037/">IMDb</a>, the series ranks number one in popularity and has an 8.3 rating out of 10. The series also has top <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/adolescence">ratings </a>on Rotten Tomatoes, with a critic rating of 99% and an audience score of 73%.
Musk's amplification of the anti-white propaganda post could keep some people from watching the series, which may be bad for Netflix.
The response from the show's co-writer is another example of how dangerous posts on social media can be in getting others to believe something just because another person said it was true.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Advanced Energy Indus 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

If your last name is Buffett, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44482365/warren-buffetts-son-wasnt-raised-like-a-billionaires-kid-he-mowed-lawns-and-cleaned-gutters-because-there-are-jerks-with-money-and-jerks-without">people assume you're rich</a>. Not just "doing well" rich. Private jet, personal sushi chef, champagne-for-breakfast rich. But according to Howard Buffett—Warren Buffett's son—you'd be wrong. Very wrong.
In a <a href="https://fortune.com/2012/11/21/the-children-of-the-rich-and-famous/">1990 Fortune interview</a>, Howard explained people often attempt to use him just to get something from his dad. "When I get back to my office this afternoon, there will be nine messages," he said. "Eight of them will be from people wanting something from my dad." That was decades ago. Before viral GoFundMes, LinkedIn pitches, and inboxes flooded with crypto ideas. Howard was already living in the shadow of the world's most famous value investor, fielding daily requests just for having the audacity to share a surname.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
And it wasn't just inbox clutter.
"One night at a restaurant," he recalled, "I pulled out my checkbook to pay the bill, and some guy says, ‘Gee, I wish I had that checkbook!' I didn't have the patience to tell him, ‘No, buddy, you really don't.'"
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Billionaire Dad… But Rent's Still Due</h2>
While Warren Buffett built a financial empire out of Omaha, his kids didn't grow up with butlers or gated mansions. In fact, Howard became a farmer—and a grounded one. At one point, he was paying his own father rent for the land. Because, yes, even if your dad is worth over $100 billion, Warren still wants you to understand the value of a dollar and in this case, the value of a lease agreement.&nbsp;
The Buffett kids—Howard, Susie, and Peter—have long echoed the same message: their dad's money isn't their money.
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Then Came the $600 Million Gift —Sort Of</h2>
Now, to be fair, Warren isn't stingy. He's just strategic. In 2012, as <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/businessmain/warren-buffett-his-birthday-gives-kids-600m-972645">NBC News reported</a>, he rang in his 82nd birthday by giving each of his three kids a gift… about $600 million worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock. But there's a twist—this wasn't for shopping sprees or yachts. It was for their charitable foundations.
That move brought each child's philanthropic firepower to a billion-dollar level, while still aligning with their dad's core belief: "You should leave your children enough so they can do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing."
Translation? You're getting capital—but not carte blanche.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Inbox Problem Became Doris's Mission</h2>
Of course, when word gets out that you're charitable—your mailbox turns into a wish list. When Warren Buffett pledged in 2006 to give away most of his wealth, <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/warren-buffett-doris-sister-sunshine-lady-foundation-107104">Politico</a> reported he was swamped with letters asking for help. Instead of ignoring them, he called in reinforcement: his older sister Doris.
Doris set up the Letters Foundation, a kind of philanthropic triage unit where real people with real problems—often just victims of bad luck—could get help. According to Warren, Doris and her all-women team "believe a lot of people got short straws in life, and she wants to help them." And unlike most billionaire philanthropy, these weren't high-profile causes or gala-funded grants. These were everyday people in crisis, and Doris read their stories one by one.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So…Is Howard Rich Now?</h2>
Back in 1990, Howard insisted he wasn't rich. But since then, he's been entrusted with a charitable foundation sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars in assets—and growing. That doesn't make him personally wealthy in the traditional sense, but it does mean he's rich in influence, especially when it comes to causes he cares about—like food security and conservation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In Buffett World, Legacy Over Luxury</h2>
Warren Buffett's legacy isn't just his investment track record—it's how deliberately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">unspoiled he's kept his children</a>.&nbsp;
And if you're wondering how Warren himself defines rich? According to Alice Schroeder's biography of Buffett, "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life," he told student as the University of Georgia in 2001, "If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster."

Detroit automakers are attempting to reassure their employees as they work to mitigate challenges posed by President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts set to go<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44560524/auto-stocks-skid-after-trump-shrugs-off-higher-prices-should-you-buy-the-dip"> into effect on Thursday.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: The Detroit Free Press said it <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2025/03/30/gm-ford-leaders-assure-employees-companies-future-amid-auto-tariffs/82721842007/">obtained</a> internal memos dated March 27 from both General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Ford CEO Jim Farley told employees in the memo that the company is still examining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">potential impacts </a>from the tariffs, which it expects to be &#8220;likely to be significant."

&#8220;While Ford supports the president's vision of building a stronger auto industry and manufacturing base in the United States, the situation is dynamic and the impacts of the tariffs are likely to be significant across our industry — affecting automakers, suppliers, dealers and customers,&#8221; Farley wrote. 
He noted nearly 80% of the vehicles Ford sells in the states are made in the U.S. but, &#8220;this does not mean Ford is immune to the impact of tariffs, which could be meaningful.&#8221;
&#8220;I assure you that our Ford team has been and will continue to engage closely with the Trump administration as well as policymakers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and other markets to help shape these critical trade and policy issues,&#8221; Farley added. 
The Detroit Free Press also reported that it obtained an unsigned internal memo from General Motors which noted the tariffs will have an impact on the company's manufacturing operations and supply chain, though it did not give exact figures or estimates. 
The memo did say GM leadership is planning to keep the company &#8220;nimble based on any tariffs announced by the U.S. administration,&#8221; and the company supports a strong U.S.-based auto industry. 
It also encouraged employees to focus on their work and on managing costs.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are in a strong position to navigate this dynamic situation and will continue to deliver for our customers, employees, and communities. Each of us can contribute by staying focused and delivering on plans for this year, maintaining a disciplined approach and managing discretionary costs,&#8221; the GM memo reads.&nbsp;
What Else: President Trump on Saturday expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44552465/trump-unfazed-by-potential-auto-price-hikes-amid-new-tariffs-i-couldnt-care-less">his anticipation </a>for price increases in response to the tariffs on auto imports and reaffirmed his decision to raise tariffs in an effort to boost American manufacturing.
"I couldn't care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars," Trump stated in an interview <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-couldnt-care-less-automakers-raise-prices-tariffs-rcna198731">with</a> NBC News.&nbsp;
GM, F Price Action: General Motors shares ended Monday's session 0.75% higher at $47.03 and Ford shares closed 3.19% higher at $10.03, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The Analyst Verdict: Palo Alto Networks In The Eyes Of 22 Experts

In the current session, Watts Water Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTS#NYSE">WTS</a>) is trading at $203.92, after a 0.03% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.33%, and in the past year, by 1.03%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743458416_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Watts Water Technologies 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. 
Watts Water Technologies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 27.5 of the Machinery 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/2025/1743458416_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.

（３日）フォルクスワーゲンAG（OTC：VWAGY）メルセデス・ベンツ（Mercedes-Benz） L&#8217;Oréal（ロレアル）をはじめとする数多くの大手多国籍企業が、中国における需要の減少を懸念している。
出来事： 中国での需要の減少が、今年上半期のグローバル消費財セクターの決算で繰り返し取り上げられている。L&#8217;Oréalは、今年上半期の中国での売り上げ成長が2〜3％低下すると予測し、一方ヴォルクスワーゲン傘下のポルシェは、先週金曜日のロイターの<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8e2f415b-46bb-473f-9c26-474322e372f2">報道</a>によれば、6月末で前年比1/3減の中国での販売を報告しました。
ロレアルのニコラ・イエロニムスCEOは「消費者の自信が非常に低いのが世界でただ一つの地域は中国だけだ」と述べた。
中国の多額の負債を抱える不動産業界は、2021年末以来減速しており、これにより住宅価格が急速に下落し、その後消費者の信頼性も鈍化し、消費財の需要も減退しているという。

リスクにもかかわらず、いくつかの企業は中国市場について楽観的な姿勢を維持している。中国での「ピザハット」および「ケンタッキーフライドチキン」の運営者であるYum China（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUMC#NYSE">YUMC</a>）は、予想を上回る上半期の業績を発表し、純利益は8％増の2億1200万ドルとなった。
フィッチのアナリストによると、使い捨て可能所得の見通しをめぐる不確実性と、家計の資産の縮小が、中国の消費者を非必須の支出に代えて「コストパフォーマンスの良い」製品を優先させているという。
「中国の消費者がその自信を取り戻すにはどのくらいの時間と、何をする必要があるのか、私たちはわかりません」と、メルセデス・ベンツのCEOを務めるオラ・ケーレニウス氏は述べた。
魅力1： これらの大手企業が表明した懸念は、今年の初めに経済学者ポール・クルーグマン氏が<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39133647/paul-krugman-slams-beijings-economic-model-world-will-not-accept-everything-china-wants-to-export">中国の経済モデルについて</a>懸念を示したものと連動している。ポール・クルーグマン氏は、中国のリーダーが生産から消費者需要への焦点を移すことについて、「奇妙なほど不可能である」と述べている。
さらに、アリババグループホールディング（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>）、テンセントホールディングス（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>）、JD.com Inc（NASDAQ：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>）などの中国の大手テック企業は、この厳しい環境の中で<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40285028/alibaba-leads-chinese-tech-giants-in-boosting-shareholder-returns-but-economic-challenges-loom-repor">決算を報告</a>するとともに、中国の経済と消費者のセンチメントに光を当てると予想されている。これらの企業は引き続き株主のリターン向上に焦点を当ててはいるものの、全体として経済の課題は大きくなっている。
