$100 Invested In MongoDB 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up higher on Friday, setting a new record after a strong week, driven by the Federal Reserve&#39;s first rate cut in four years. The Dow rose by 38.16 points, or 0.09%, to close at 42,063.36. In contrast, the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.19% to 5,702.55, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.36% to finish at 17,948.32. This movement came after a midweek rally, during which the Dow surpassed the 42,000 mark and the S&amp;P 500 hit a key milestone above 5,700. Despite Friday&#39;s slight pullbacks, all three major indexes posted weekly gains.
The Fed&#39;s decision to lower interest rates by 50 basis points spurred a buying spree on Thursday. However, markets steadied on Friday as investors stepped back from the prior day&#39;s surge. Going forward, the market will engage with a blend of economic indicators, including key releases, political developments and corporate earnings reports, all of which could trigger volatility. In this environment, value stocks stand out as a compelling investment option. Typically trading below their intrinsic value, these stocks offer a margin of safety during market fluctuations.
When evaluating value stocks, one of the most effective valuation metrics is the Price to Cash Flow (P/CF) ratio. This metric measures the market price of a stock relative to the cash flow the company generates on a per-share basis. A lower P/CF ratio indicates that the stock is trading at a better value, offering strong cash generation potential relative to its price. Here are four companies &mdash; Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uhs#NYSE">UHS</a>), Carriage Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csv#NYSE">CSV</a>), AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axs#NYSE">AXS</a>) and EnerSys (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ens#NYSE">ENS</a>) &mdash; that boast low P/CF ratios, making them strong contenders for value-seeking investors.
<h2>Price to Cash Flow Ratio Reveals Financial Health</h2>
Questions may arise as to why we are considering the P/CF valuation metric when the most widely used metric is Price/Earnings (or P/E). Well, what makes P/CF stand out is that operating cash flow adds back non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization to net income, truly reflecting the financial health of a company.
Analysts caution that a company&#39;s earnings are subject to accounting estimates and management manipulation. However, cash flow is reliable. It is net cash flow that reveals how much money a company is actually generating and how effectively management is putting the same to use.
A positive cash flow indicates an increase in the company&#39;s liquid assets. This gives the company the means to settle debt, shell out for its expenses, reinvest in its business, endure downturns, and finally pay back its shareholders. Then again, a negative cash flow implies a decline in the company&#39;s liquidity, which in turn lowers its flexibility to support these moves.
<h2>What&#39;s the Best Value Investing Strategy?</h2>
An investment decision solely based on the P/CF metric may not fetch the desired results. To identify stocks that are trading at a discount, you should expand your search criteria and also consider the price-to-book ratio, price-to-earnings ratio, and price-to-sales ratio. Adding a favorable Zacks Rank and a Value Score of A or B to your search criteria should lead to even better results as these eliminate the chance of falling into a value trap.
Here are the parameters for selecting true-value stocks:
P/CF less than or equal to X-Industry Median.
Price greater than or equal to 5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5 or higher.
Average 20-Day Volume greater than 100,000: A substantial trading volume ensures that the stock is easily tradable.
P/E using (F1) less than or equal to X-Industry Median: This parameter shortlists stocks that are trading at a discount or are equal to their peers.
P/B less than or equal to X-Industry Median: A lower P/B compared with the industry average implies that there is enough room for the stock to gain.
P/S less than or equal to X-Industry Median: The P/S ratio determines how a stock price compares to the company&#39;s sales &mdash; the lower the ratio, the more attractive the stock is.
PEG less than 1: The ratio is used to determine a stock&#39;s value by taking the company&#39;s earnings growth into account. The PEG ratio portrays a more complete picture than the P/E ratio. A value of less than 1 indicates that the stock is undervalued and that investors need to pay less for a stock that has robust earnings growth prospects.
Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2: Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks are known to outperform irrespective of the market environment.
Value Score of less than or equal to B: Our research shows that stocks with a Style Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2, offer the best upside potential.
Here are four of the 11 low P/CF stocks that qualified the screening:
Universal Health Services, one of the nation&#39;s largest hospital companies, operating through its subsidiaries, acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities and ambulatory centers, sports a Zacks Rank #1. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 14.6%, on average.

Pinterest Has Room To Monetize, Says Bullish Analyst

U.S. metals and mining stocks posted their strongest one-day rally of 2024 on Tuesday, driven by China&#8217;s unexpected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">and substantial monetary easing. </a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s (PBoC) stimulus measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and repo rates, boosted global demand for raw materials, sparking a surge in metal prices and mining stocks.
The SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) surged 4.2%, marking its best one-day performance since November 2023. The move reflected heightened optimism in the sector, which benefits heavily from demand in China, the world's largest consumer of raw materials.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Precious, Industrial Metals Shine</h3>
Gold prices hit yet another fresh record on Tuesday, rising 0.3% to $2,638 per ounce, the highest in history, as the metal benefited from expectations of higher liquidity from global central banks. 
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio is expected to boost bank lending, while the reduction in key interest rates provides relief to heavily indebted sectors. This move is also seen as a strong signal that further monetary easing may be on the horizon.
Silver jumped 1.2%, while copper saw an even bigger rally, surging over 3%. The broad gains in metals prices were driven by expectations of increased Chinese demand, as the country&#8217;s easing measures are aimed at stimulating domestic economic activity.
Last week, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5%, offering another strong tailwind to metal commodities. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Stocks, ETFs Post Gains</h3>
Mining-related stocks and ETFs are enjoying strong performance Tuesday. The Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>) climbed over 6%, reflecting the sharp increase in copper prices, while the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) rose 2%.

Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, better known as &#8220;MKBHD,&#8221; launched a new app called &#8220;Panels,&#8221; a mobile wallpaper app on Tuesday. However, the reviews and comments have been mixed social media platforms.
What Happened: Brownlee announced about the app on the intro of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40998105/marques-brownlee-reviews-apples-iphone-16-and-launches-new-app-this-is-the-most-unfinished-ive-ever">review video of the new iPhone 16</a> by Apple Inc. 
&#8220;You guys have been asking me where I get my wallpapers&#8230;So now we have put them all in one place. It&#8217;s called &#8216;Panels&#8217; and it&#8217;s finally live in the App store, both on iOS and Android; feels really good to be able to say that,&#8221; Brownlee said.
The app has tons of collections of wallpapers submitted by artists, including his team members such as David Imel, Vinh Dang and Brandon Havard. These wallpapers range from nature photography to abstract 3D designs and more.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24105112/Screenshot-2024-09-24-at-8.20.38%E2%80%AFPM-1024x720.png" alt="" class="wp-image-563468" style="width:557px;height:auto" /></figure>
The &#8220;Panels&#8221; app is available in a freemium model for users across the world. However, there is a catch.
Users need to watch at least two ads to download any wallpaper in standard quality or SD. To download the same in 4K, one needs to pay around $50 per year as a subscription fee.
&#8220;We have some pretty big plans for this thing. So it&#8217;s starting off as a wallpaper app. Now I don&#8217;t want to overpromise too much, but it&#8217;s going to be pretty consistently improving over time, which is part of the reason why we are offering a subscription to support it,&#8221; Brownlee said during the video.
Many are excited at the launch of an official app from the MKBHD team. 
&#8220;Launching on iOS and Android at the same time is ELITE,&#8221; wrote a user on X.
&#8220;This is singlehandedly the best YouTuber product ever,&#8221; another person wrote.

However, others are divided about the app&#8217;s pricing, content quality and the strategy to promote the app, especially when Brownlee has often voiced his disapproval of picking up gadgets or software that promise for developments in the future.

Fellow tech YouTuber Linus Sebastian, known for his channel &#8220;Linus Tech Tips&#8221; commended the &#8220;intent&#8221; of the app, but suggested reducing the subscription fee, removing all the tracking and seeking help from people with expertise in native development.

MKBHD's New Wallpaper App Priced At $50 Per Year Receives Mixed Reviews: From High Subscription Fee To Data Collection, Here's What Everyone Thinks About It

On Tuesday, Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WVE#NASDAQ">WVE</a>) revealed interim data from the ongoing Phase 2 FORWARD-53 study of WVE-N531 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40999215/wave-life-sciences-announces-positive-interim-data-from-forward-53-clinical-trial-evaluating-wve-n" rel="noreferrer noopener">to exon 53 skipping</a>.
DMD is&nbsp;a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and degeneration caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. It&#8217;s the most common inherited neuromuscular disease and affects boys more often than girls.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39480161/whats-going-on-with-wave-life-sciences-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">What&#8217;s Going On With Wave Life Sciences Stock On Tuesday?</a>
Dystrophin is&nbsp;a protein that helps strengthen and protect muscle fibers.
Eleven boys amenable to exon 53 skipping (age 5-11; 10 ambulatory and one non-ambulatory) are enrolled.
Dystrophin results from a pre-specified analysis of ambulatory (who can walk) boys showed:
<ul>
<li>The mean absolute muscle content-adjusted dystrophin expression was 9.0%, and the mean absolute unadjusted dystrophin expression was 5.5% of normal.</li>
<li>89% of ambulatory participants achieved muscle content-adjusted dystrophin levels of at least 5%.</li>
</ul>
The mean exon skipping was 57%.
WVE-N531 was detected in myocyte nuclei in all participants and myogenic stem cells in most participants. Myogenic stem cells are the progenitor cells for new myoblasts, which give rise to new myocytes and ultimately aid in skeletal muscle regeneration.
Participants showed multiple indicators of improvement in muscle health.
Significant reductions were observed in serum biomarkers associated with muscle damage.
WVE-N531 was safe and well tolerated. Treatment-related adverse events (four events total in three participants) were mild in intensity.
There were no oligonucleotide class-related safety events.
In the first quarter of 2025, Wave expects to complete the FORWARD-53 trial and receive feedback from regulators on a pathway to accelerated approval.
Price Action: WVE stock is up 47.90% at $7.88 at the last check on Tuesday.

B of A Securities Downgrades Leonardo DRS to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $30

The U.S. Energy Department&#39;s latest inventory report showed a slightly larger-than-expected increase in natural gas supplies. Despite this bearish data, futures ended the week higher, driven by forecasts for strong cooling demand.
However, natural gas remains down year to date, facing persistent challenges as the market reacts sharply to unpredictable weather patterns. Investors should focus on resilient stocks like Range Resources&nbsp;and Coterra Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ctra#NYSE">CTRA</a>), while it may be wise to avoid higher-risk options like Comstock Resources (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crk#NYSE">CRK</a>) amid the prevailing market instability.
<h2>Natural Gas Build Larger Than Market Expectations</h2>
Stockpiles held in underground storage in the lower 48 states rose 58 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ended Sept. 13, slightly above analysts&#39; guidance of a 57 Bcf addition. The increase compared with the five-year (2019-2023) average net injection of 80 Bcf and last year&#39;s growth of 62 Bcf for the reported week.
The weekly build put total natural gas stocks at 3,445 Bcf, which is 194 Bcf (6%) above the 2023 level and 274 Bcf (8.6%) higher than the five-year average.
The total supply of natural gas averaged 107.2 Bcf per day, down 0.6 Bcf per day on a weekly basis, due to lower shipments from Canada and falling dry production.
Meanwhile, daily consumption dropped to 95.4 Bcf from 96.6 Bcf in the previous week, mainly reflecting weakness in residential/commercial usage and a dip in deliveries to U.S. LNG export facilities.
<h2>Natural Gas Prices Still Finish Higher</h2>
Natural gas prices climbed last week, despite a slightly unfavorable inventory build. October futures closed at $2.434 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, marking a 5.4% increase, driven mainly by warmer weather forecasts. This is the fourth consecutive weekly rise, yet natural gas remains down more than 20% over the past three months. This follows a 47% surge in April and May. Prices even dipped to a four-month low of $1.88 in late August, underscoring the market&#39;s ongoing volatility.
Natural gas prices remain pressured by strong production, high stockpiles, and weak demand due to mild weather. Current inventories are significantly above last year&#39;s levels and the five-year average, signaling a bearish outlook. In response, companies like APA Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/apa#NASDAQ">APA</a>) and EQT Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eqt#NYSE">EQT</a>) are scaling back drilling activities. APA plans to reduce natural gas output by 90 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) in Q3, following a 78 MMcf/d cut in Q2 due to low price realizations. Meanwhile, EQT, the largest U.S. natural gas producer, will maintain a daily production cut of 0.5 billion cubic feet through the year&#39;s second half.
Ironically, several companies had just resumed production that was deferred during the April-May price recovery, but the increased output quickly pushed prices down again, highlighting the market&#39;s fragility.
On the demand side, steady LNG feed gas deliveries continue to provide a strong boost for natural gas. U.S. LNG exports remain solid, fueled by environmental policies and Europe&#39;s push to reduce reliance on Russian gas amid the Ukraine conflict. As winter approaches, the global LNG market anticipates strong demand.
<h2>What Should Investors Do with Natural Gas Stocks?</h2>
The natural gas market continues to struggle with oversupply, still feeling the effects of a challenging 2023 when prices briefly dipped below $2 for the first time since 2020.
A short-lived rally, driven by favorable weather and reduced production, offered temporary relief. However, prices have since declined again, leading producers to cut output further.
In this volatile environment, with shifts in weather and production dynamics, investors should remain cautious. Focusing on fundamentally strong stocks like Range Resources and Coterra Energy may offer more stability amid the uncertainty.
Range Resources: The company is an U.S. independent natural gas producer with operations focused in the Appalachian Basin. Range Resources&#39; large contiguous acreage position provides more than 30 years of low-breakeven, high-return inventory. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company produced an average of 2,152.9 million cubic feet equivalent daily from these assets in the second quarter of 2024 &mdash; 69% natural gas.
Range Resources beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, the average being 31.6%. Valued at around $7.4 billion, RRC has risen 8% in a year.
Coterra Energy: It is an independent upstream operator primarily engaged in the exploration, development and production of natural gas. Headquartered in Houston, TX, the firm owns some 183,000 net acres in the gas-producing Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin. This #3 Ranked company churned out an average of 2,779.8 million cubic feet daily of the commodity from these assets in the June quarter.
Coterra beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the trailing four quarters and missed in the other two, the average being 5.9%. Valued at around $17.5 billion, CTRA has risen 5.4% in a year.
On the other hand, companies like Comstock Resources appear risky in the near term. CRK is a leading independent natural gas producer with operations focused on the Haynesville Shale in North Louisiana and East Texas.
Reflecting the negative sentiment around natural gas, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) company&#39;s EPS has seen downward revisions. Over the past 30 days, analysts have lowered their estimates for both the current quarter and fiscal year by 30% and 12%, respectively.

2 Natural Gas Stocks Worth a Closer Look Amid Price Volatility

Longtime WWE CEO Vince McMahon voiced his frustration with how he is being portrayed in an upcoming Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) series. 
The <a href="https://x.com/VinceMcMahon/status/1838320734579441946">tweet</a> was McMahon's first post on X.com since April 3, 2023.
"I don't regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built, which were equally filled with excitement, drama, fun, and a fair amount of controversy and life lessons. Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I've seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the ‘Mr. McMahon' character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident," McMahon said.

Netflix is set to release the six-part docuseries "Mr. McMahon" on Sept. 25.
For about four decades, McMahon led World Wrestling Entertainment, or WWE, through various eras — including the peak of its popularity in the 1980s. But a series of controversies over the last two years led the legendary wrestling promoter to step down as CEO, retire from the company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/04/31637325/emanuel-mcmahon-tout-knockout-deal-and-next-evolution-of-wwe-this-is-ufc-2-0">sell the company</a>, come back as executive chairman and leave the company once again.
Netflix began producing the series in 2020, before some of the controversies about McMahon came to light. McMahon resigned as WWE CEO in 2022 after reports emerged that he had paid millions in hush money to women over alleged affairs and sexual misconduct.
"WWE experienced record-breaking highs and crushing lows under Vince McMahon's leadership. This docuseries delves into the mogul's controversial reign," Netflix <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/mr-mcmahon-release-date-trailer-news">states</a>. 
McMahon, one of several former and current wrestling personalities interviewed for the series, says Netflix misrepresents items and leaves important items out "in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused."
"The producers use typical editing tricks with out of context footage and dated soundbites etc. to distort the viewers' perception and support a deceptive narrative,&#8221; he says.
