Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) surged over 5% on Friday, marking its strongest one-day rally in three months and significantly outperforming the broader semiconductor sector as the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductor">modest gain of 0.6%. </a>
The semiconductor giant announced on Thursday its cutting-edge 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package (XDSiP) platform technology. 
This breakthrough positions Broadcom as a leader in enabling next-generation custom accelerators (XPUs) for artificial intelligence applications. 
By integrating over 6,000 mm² of silicon and up to 12 high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacks into a single device, the 3.5D XDSiP achieves high-efficiency, low-power computing designed to meet the demands of large-scale AI systems. The technology also marks the industry debut of Face-to-Face (F2F) 3.5D XPU, a significant milestone in semiconductor packaging.
&#8220;3.5D integration, which combines 3D silicon stacking with 2.5D packaging, is poised to become the technology of choice for next-generation XPUs in the coming decade,&#8221; the company stated. 
Yet, other than investor enthusiasm driven by both technological innovation, Broadcom's sharp rally also stands out as a sign of favorable seasonal trends.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom Historically Surged In December</h1>
Beyond the innovation buzz, historical data suggests Broadcom could be gearing up for a strong finish to the year.
Over the past 15 years, the period between Dec. 6 and Dec. 31 has proven highly favorable for the stock. 
Broadcom delivered positive returns in 12 of those 15 years, with an average gain of 8.4% during this stretch, as data from Seasonax platform shows. 
The most remarkable performance occurred in 2020 when the stock skyrocketed 20.7% in the same timeframe. Only three times — 2011, 2012, and 2015 — did Broadcom post losses in this period.
Investors appear to be eyeing a repeat of Broadcom's historical outperformance, particularly as AI-driven innovation and seasonal tailwinds build a compelling narrative for further gains. 
With December already off to a strong start, momentum could carry Broadcom higher as the year-end rally takes shape.

Broadcom Notches Strongest Session In 3 Months: Why Seasonal Trends May Bolster Year-End Gains

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) shares are trading higher after it reported its&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42350783/hewlett-packard-enterprise-reports-fiscal-2024-fourth-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">results after Thursday&#8217;s closing bell</a>.
The company reported adjusted EPS of 58 cents, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 56 cents. Sales rose 15% year over year (Y/Y) to $8.46 billion, which beat the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$8.26 billion</a>.
Hewlett Packard sees&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;earnings of between 47 and 52&nbsp;cents per share <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">versus the 49 cent estimate</a>.
Stifel analyst Matthew Sheerin raised the price forecast on the HPE stock to $25 from $22 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hpe/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst believes Hewlett-Packard Enterprise shares are undervalued, supported by its broad portfolio of infrastructure hardware, software, and services.
Despite mixed demand, with weakness in networking and storage, HPE is seeing strong AI server demand and signs of recovery in traditional servers, adds the analyst.
Sheerin expects AI servers to drive growth in FY25 and for gross margins to improve through a better mix and higher software and services attachment.
The analyst revised estimates for revenue to $32.250 billion (from $31.749 billion) and EPS to $2.11 (from $2.10) for FY25 on the continued server strength and introduced FY26 revenue of $33.803 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.29.
JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee writes that he expects a choppy outlook for HP Enterprise following mixed earnings from industry leaders.
The analyst anticipates some upside in its Enterprise Server and Networking segments, though AI server headwinds and potential Fed spending slowdowns may impact guidance.
Chatterjee estimates revenue of $8.24 billion in the fourth-quarter vs. consensus of $8.26 billion.
B Of A analyst Wamsi Mohan reaffirmed a price target of $26 and a Buy rating.
Heading into FY25, the analyst believes HPE is well-positioned to benefit from a recovery in IT spending, driven by cyclical growth in servers, storage, and networking and the Juniper acquisition and associated cost savings.
The analyst also adds that the strength in Hybrid Cloud and higher AI server margins due to increased enterprise and sovereign demand are expected to be drivers.
Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng raised the F25/26/27 EPS estimates by an average of 2% to reflect the growing AI pipeline and storage momentum.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;the First Trust S&amp;P 500 Diversified Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNGZ#NASDAQ">KNGZ</a>) and&nbsp;the Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHAT#NYSE">CHAT</a>).
Price Action: Hewlett Packard shares are up 10.80%&nbsp;at&nbsp;$23.99 at the last check Friday.

In the current session, Core Molding Technologies Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMT#AMEX">CMT</a>) is trading at $16.38, after a 1.06% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.68%, and in the past year, by 10.76%. 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/2024/1733517021_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Core Molding Technologies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 37.31 in the Chemicals industry, Core Molding Technologies Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.51. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733517021_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.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Core Molding Technologies

Regarding breaking into the top 1% of earners in the U.S., location matters just as much as income. With their iconic financial hubs and booming industries, states like New York and California are often at the center of the conversation about wealth.
So, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">state demands a higher paycheck</a> to reach this elite group? California, according to the latest data from GoBankingRates.

<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Numbers: California vs. New York</h2>
<ul>
<li>California: You'll need an income of $1,072,248 annually to crack the top 1%.</li>
<li>New York: A slightly lower threshold of $999,747 will put you in the same category.</li>
</ul>
California's higher bar is largely due to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154628/larry-page-google-co-founder-said-hed-leave-his-fortune-to-elon-musk-over-charity-because-of-his-plans-to-go-to-mars-to-back-up-humanity">tech billionaires</a>, sky-high living costs and the ultracompetitive job market. While still costly, New York has a more diverse economy and income spread that keeps its threshold just under the million-dollar mark.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Housing Market Comparison</h2>
Housing costs are a major factor influencing the income requirements in both states:
<ul>
<li>California: The median home price is $869,000 as of 2024, according to Redfin.</li>
<li>New York: The median home price is significantly lower at $522,000.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Average Salaries</h2>
While the income required to join the top 1% is in the seven-figure range, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/01/36665585/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-make-to-be-among-the-top-1-5-or-10-based-on-inc">average salaries </a>are far more modest:
California: The average salary is $62,038, according to ZipRecruiter.
New York: The average salary is $51,979, reflecting the state's larger proportion of middle-income earners.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost of Living Comparison</h2>
California edges out New York as the more expensive state overall, according to MyLifeElsewhere:
<ul>
<li>Overall, California is 8.0% more expensive.</li>
<li>Housing: Costs are 24.0% higher in California.</li>
<li>Transportation: California is 3.0% more expensive.</li>
<li>Groceries: Slightly cheaper in California, by 1.2%.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Picture: How They Stack Up Nationally</h2>
Despite their high costs, neither California nor New York tops the national list for the 1% threshold. That title belongs to Connecticut, where you need a staggering $1,192,947 annually to join the wealthiest ranks.
Other states requiring over $1 million include:
Massachusetts: $1,152,992
Washington: $1,024,599
New Jersey: $1,010,101
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
California may require a higher income to join the top 1%. Still, both states share a common challenge: living costs and income inequality make financial success difficult even for middle-class earners. While the top 1% income thresholds are jaw-dropping, they highlight how wide the gap between average salaries and elite earners is.
If you're aiming for financial stability – or dreaming of the 1% – it's worth evaluating the economic realities of your location. Housing, taxes and overall costs can dramatically impact your journey to wealth.&nbsp;

Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZETA#NYSE">ZETA</a>) is riding a wave of investor enthusiasm, rallying 200% year-to-date.
The company also enjoyed a 108% year-over-year surge in platform usage during the Cyber Five period spanning Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. This growth came as brands doubled down on Zeta's omnichannel tools to deliver hyper-personalized marketing during the most critical shopping days of the year.
Brands use Zeta&#8217;s marketing platform &#8220;to engage high-intent shoppers&#8221; to deliver &#8220;exceptional efficiency and effective outcomes," Zeta CEO David A. Steinberg says.

ZETA&#8217;s share price of $26.29 sits comfortably above key moving averages:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA: $23.48 (Bullish)</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $23.56 (Bullish)</li>
<li>200-day SMA: $19.95 (Bullish)</li>
</ul>
However, the 50-day SMA of $27.12 and a MACD indicator of a negative 0.61 flash a note of caution, suggesting slight selling pressure. 
With an RSI of 54.18, ZETA stock is heading towards the overbought territory, hinting that momentum may need a breather.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond The Holidays: The Long-Term Play</h2>
Zeta's robust annual revenue growth forecast of 17.1% outpaces the U.S. market's 8.9%. The company's $100 million share repurchase program signals confidence in its long-term potential.
Investors are also keeping a close eye on Zeta&#8217;s projected 123.5% annual earnings growth, a statistic hard to ignore.
Zeta&#8217;s surge reflects its ability to capitalize on evolving consumer behaviors and deliver value through cutting-edge marketing tools. While near-term technicals show slight pressure, the stock&#8217;s long-term growth story remains compelling.
Whether Zeta can sustain this momentum into 2025 depends on its ability to navigate market challenges and keep delivering for its enterprise clients.

Zeta Stock Rockets 200% YTD: What's Fueling The Surge?

Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reclaim of $100,000 has sparked a frenzy of bullish posts on social media, with seasoned traders highlighting how to keep a cool head in the midst of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">the bull market.</a>
What Happened: Experienced trader Ssaasquatch cautioned newcomers to tread carefully and avoid the pitfalls he faced during previous cycles.
The trader shared his story of buying Bitcoin at $900 in 2016, turning it into $650,000 by the 2021 bull market peak, only to lose it all by failing to secure profits. &#8220;Painful? Absolutely. But I don't want you making the same mistakes,&#8221; he said.
He advises traders to define their &#8220;life-changing money&#8221; threshold—whether it's $20,000, $1 million, or more—and switch to a defensive strategy once they reach it. &#8220;Building wealth is about taking risks, but sustaining it requires careful, low-risk strategies,&#8221; he explained.
Ewgi&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/Ssaasquatch/status/1862839386204770667">Strategy</a> or Preserving Gains:
<ul>
<li>Convert 30% of your portfolio into stablecoins (evenly split between USDT and USDC).</li>
<li>Gradually increase this allocation by 5% monthly until reaching 50%.</li>
<li>Beyond 50%, reduce the pace to 2.5% monthly increases, capping at 60%. This disciplined approach helps mitigate risk while still allowing for market participation.</li>
</ul>
What's Next: As Bitcoin hovers above $100,000, trader Altcoin Sherpa warns of a &#8220;danger zone&#8221; and expects market reactions at these levels. Still, he views any dips as opportunities to buy into the broader bull market momentum.

Another trader, FlowHorse, <a href="https://x.com/TheFlowHorse/status/1865096600592236790">suggests</a> the market could be nearing a peak within one to two quarters. 
Historically, euphoric talk of ever-larger price targets often signals the end of a cycle.
