Shares of homebuilders are trading lower. Weakness may be in reaction to worse-than-expected November PPI data, which could cloud rate cut outlook.

In the current market session, PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) stock price is at $90.43, after a 0.35% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 4.63%, and in the past year, by 46.52%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734034517_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does PayPal Holdings P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
PayPal Holdings has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 48.61 of the Financial Services 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/2024/1734034517_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.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CYH Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Community Health Sys (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYH#NYSE">CYH</a>)'s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. and CHICAGO, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced a collaboration to establish the new National Quantum Algorithm Center in the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) in Chicago.

'Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Remains Interested In Buying TikTok' - The Information

Self-described "Crypto Hippie" Tyrone Ross Jr. sat down with Benzinga's Chief Content Officer Brad Olesen in a multipart interview series to discuss how his financial planning firm, 401 Financial, is educating clients about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and avoiding some of the pitfalls of the traditional financial advisory industry. He also made it clear where he stands when it comes to advising clients on how they<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-build-a-stock-portfolio"> should build a portfolio.</a>
"What we really try to do is one, stop them from over-trading," Ross says with regards to how he advises clients in constructing how their assets are managed.
He invoked an anecdote in which there was one client he came across who had performed over 14,000 transactions. The "beauty" of 401's model, he said, i that it gives advice, and ultimately clients can make their own decisions. 401 doesn't benefit if you trade more or less &#8211; it's just advice that comes monthly compared to some advisors who could meet with clients as little as once or twice.

401 Financial's name is borne from a former track coach who advised running 401 yards through the line — not just the 400. The origin story began following Tyrone's years at Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)-owned Merrill Lynch where he witnessed incredible success stories. The failings, specifically in accounting for crypto-related exposure, served to light the fire.
"I did realize there, though, when I was shown Bitcoin for the first time, I couldn&#8217;t unsee it." Despite those shortcomings, what left an indelible mark on Tyrone during his time at Merrill through 2016 was the "value" of financial planning. "That team did financial planning like I&#8217;ve never seen it to this day," Ross says.
But it's not all crypto, all the time for this financial advisor — despite the fact that he calls himself the "biggest crypto hippie you'll ever meet." While he considers traditional assets and stocks "dinosaur" bones, he adds, "if you want it (stocks), we give you exposure."
Among the assets he usually advises clients to pursue are some larger, broad market ETFs like the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and a bit of emerging markets depending on age and where they are in their lives.
He says the beauty of his advice-only model is that "we&#8217;re not trying to acquire your assets" or "sell you anything" so 401 can get you into the "lowest cost ever." Ultimately, clients often know what they're going to get with Ross given his open stance on cryptocurrency and specifically Bitcoin, he says. 
Tyrone and his team want to educate as much as anything else, whether it's around dollar cost averaging or learning how to gain direct access to Bitcoin instead of buying into Bitcoin ETFs, trusts and derivatives like iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), ProShares Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) or similar funds. "I don&#8217;t like the (crypto) ETFs, because, again, I think it&#8217;s a way to siphon fees on top of buying crypto." 401 has a message for those looking to start their financial journey: "We want to work with folks that have never worked with an advisor before. We don't have any minimums … and if you can't afford it, we'll take you on anyway until you can afford it. "
As Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42461870/michael-saylor-lauds-bitcoins-100000-milestone-it-will-be-embraced-by-the-worlds-wealthy-and-powerful"> crosses the $100,000 mark,</a> and the crypto industry&#8217;s market value nears $4 trillion, it&#8217;s only more likely that those in the market for advisory services will require someone who speaks blockchain in its native tongue.
