President Donald Trump on Monday revoked former President Joe Biden&#8217;s comprehensive executive order on artificial intelligence as part of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43096311/exclusive-trump-does-not-establish-bitcoin-reserve-crypto-friendly-policies-on-day-1-and-now">first actions in office.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Biden's AI executive order mandated that developers of AI systems posing threats to national security or public safety report the results of safety tests to the U.S. government and tasked the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop standards for safety testing.&nbsp;
Trump revoked the AI order as part of a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/">broader action</a> that reversed 78 Biden-era executive actions. The move was widely anticipated after the president announced his intention to de-regulate industry on the campaign trail. 
Several prominent tech executives, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, contributed to Trump's campaign and attended Monday's inauguration leading some to speculate on their potential influence on the president.

Why It Matters: Reaction to Trump's reversal of Biden's AI policies has been mixed. Some experts have expressed concern that it could leave Americans exposed to potential risks from AI as giant tech companies would operate without regulatory oversight. Others view the repeal as a positive step toward economic progress and innovation in the industry.&nbsp;
The repeal of Biden's AI framework may have set up a showdown with the European Union's AI act passed in 2023 which mandates transparency and bans certain uses of artificial intelligence.&nbsp;
AI chipmakers Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) could see a boost as the loosened restrictions could encourage AI hyper-scalers to increase investments in the technology. 
These hyper-scalers, such as Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), could potentially accelerate the development and deployment of AI technologies across their platforms and services as the government takes a more "hands-off" approach to regulation. 
Both Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, and Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, were present at Trump&#8217;s inauguration, suggesting potential alignment with the new administration&#8217;s approach to AI regulation.&nbsp;
Though the long-term effects of Trump's policies remain to be seen, the market is reacting positively one day after his inauguration. All three major indices are up Tuesday with the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), tracking the S&amp;P 500, up 0.51% at $600.65 and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, up 0.14% at $522.49 at the time of publication Tuesday.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $49.52, after a 1.56% increase. Over the past month, Cheesecake Factory Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAKE#NASDAQ">CAKE</a>) stock increased by 6.47%, and in the past year, by 53.42%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating Cheesecake Factory P/E in Comparison to 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. 
Cheesecake Factory has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 80.99 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio believes the key to lowering interest rates and balancing out the bond market is reducing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43059174/buy-long-duration-bonds-says-bank-of-america-strategist">U.S. budget deficit</a>.
What To Know: In an interview from the&nbsp;World Economic Forum on <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/dalio-says-cutting-budget-deficit-is-crucial-to-stabilize-bond-market.html">CNBC&#8217;s</a> &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; Tuesday morning, Dalio indicated that there&#8217;s a supply-demand imbalance in the bond market that can be improved if the projected deficit could be lowered to 3%.
&#8220;We have a projected deficit of 7.5% of GDP. That means all those bonds have to be sold,&#8221; Dalio said.

&#8220;When I calculate who are the buyers of the bonds, there will not be enough buyers. And then where it could be worse in this dynamic is those who own bonds also sell the bonds, and when that happens there&#8217;s a tremendous supply &#8230; and then we have problems. We can get into what it looks like, but it&#8217;s happened many times before. So we have to stabilize that, and we can do it.&#8221;
The billionaire investor&nbsp;told CNBC that he calls it &#8220;the 3% solution.&#8221; Most people understand that you can lower the deficit by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41564246/from-10-trillion-to-35-trillion-how-government-spending-has-spiraled-out-of-control">cutting spending</a> and raising taxes, but they often overlook what happens when the economy is strong.
&#8220;If you do it when the economy is good, you will get a lower interest rate. A lower interest rate means less cost of the debt because we have so much debt that the interest costs on the debt is more important than spending and taxes,&#8221; Dalio said.
The federal budget jumped close to 40% in 2024 versus the prior year, pushing the national debt above $36 trillion. Dalio told CNBC that it&#8217;s up to the politicians to work together to figure it out. It&#8217;s certainly achievable if everyone agrees on the 3% target, he added.
&#8220;Our problem isn't the deficit. Our problem is the politics,&#8221; Dalio said. &#8220;The fragmented politics.&#8221;
