The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) also saw gains, with UPS reporting 11% yoy growth and FedEx posting a 3% yoy increase in global air cargo traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>
Large commercial jet manufacturers are riding the wave of demand. In October alone, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) secured 63 new orders, while Airbus SE (OTCPK: EADSY) booked 82 aircraft orders—both with zero cancellations. 
&#8220;New aircraft order campaigning activity appears to remain robust, for both growth and replacement,&#8221; Poponak wrote. 
Parked aircraft, which currently make up 11.8% of the total global fleet, remained flat month-over-month, further reflecting high utilization levels as airlines capitalize on the recovery in passenger and freight traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs' Top Stock Picks</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Poponak highlighted 11 buy-rated stocks that stand to benefit from the industry's resurgence. These include large aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and business jet producers.

Aerospace Ready To Take Off: Goldman Sachs Reveals 11 Top Picks In The Sector

In the current session, the stock is trading at $139.73, after a 0.62% spike. Over the past month, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) stock increased by 19.28%, and in the past year, by 65.85%. 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824015_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
Live Nation Entertainment has a better P/E ratio of 156.03 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 41.7 of the Entertainment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Live Nation Entertainment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824016_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.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/news">turning heads again</a>, this time with a quirky and futuristic touch: a Cybertruck horn update, rolled out through its mobile app. 
Yes, you read that right—Tesla is flexing its software chops by letting Cybertruck owners <a href="https://x.com/cybertruck/status/1861927109746372644">swap their horn</a> sound for something distinctly cyberpunk.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Cybertruck Horn Update: A Soundtrack For The Future</h2>
Social media lit up as owners shared their delight with the new tone, <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-horn-update-mobile-phone-app/">described</a> as a blend of Transformers-like sound effects and a touch of sci-fi swagger. The updated horn not only matches the Cybertruck's brutalist, angular aesthetic but feels straight out of a dystopian blockbuster. 
And here's the kicker: the upgrade is free, permanent, and unapologetically cool.
Tesla's message to users cheekily pitched the change as perfect for anyone tired of "traditional" horns or feeling a twinge of FOMO over Cybertruck's futuristic edge. 
While traditional carmakers wrestle over hybrid engines, Tesla is perfecting the art of horn envy.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Self-Driving Taxis: Tesla Gets Real</h2>
Meanwhile, in the world of Tesla's autonomous dreams, a recent job <a href="https://www.iotworldtoday.com/transportation-logistics/tesla-seeks-teleoperators-to-remotely-drive-cars#close-modal">posting</a> reveals the company's not-so-quiet pivot: teleoperation. Tesla is hiring engineers to help human operators remotely control its self-driving cars. Think VR rigs, low-latency streaming, and humans stepping in when AI faces a curveball.
Why the shift? Tesla's grand promise of AI-driven, fully autonomous cars—boldly dubbed "Level 5 autonomy"—has hit a wall. 
While competitors like Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo and General Motors Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cruise rely on lidar and geofenced areas for their robo-taxis, Tesla's pure vision-based approach hasn't reached the finish line.
The teleoperation team hints at a pragmatic twist to Elon Musk's lofty ambitions. With Cybercabs and robotic fleets teased at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41350962/tesla-key-exec-says-we-robot-event-had-1-300-perfectly-safe-autonomous-trips-driving-over-2-000-gues">Tesla's "We, Robot" event</a>, human assistance could bridge the gap between today's reality and Musk's sci-fi future.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Tesla?</h2>
Tesla's dual strategy of showmanship and engineering is alive and well. From turning a horn update into a viral sensation to quietly building a human safety net for self-driving dreams, the company continues to innovate in its signature, headline-grabbing style. 
For investors, it's a reminder: with Tesla, the future always comes with a twist—and often, a new sound.

Tesla's Cybertruck Horn Is Transforming, So Is Its Self-Driving Strategy

In the current session, the stock is trading at $281.96, after a 0.63% spike. Over the past month, Tractor Supply Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>) stock increased by 6.20%, and in the past year, by 34.22%. 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>Tractor Supply P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry 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. 
Tractor Supply has a better P/E ratio of 27.26 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.22 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that Tractor Supply Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732820414_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.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, reportedly reached a valuation of $50 billion just 16 months after its founding in July 2023. It is now worth more than what the billionaire paid for Twitter. Arguably the most well-known name in the AI space, OpenAI, last valued at $157 billion, needed over nine years to achieve the same milestone.&nbsp;

In the current market session, Lennox Intl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LII#NYSE">LII</a>) stock price is at $660.04, after a 0.93% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 9.54%, and in the past year, by 57.79%. 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/2024/1732818630_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Lennox Intl 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 32.16 in the Building Products industry, Lennox Intl Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 31.65. 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.

A Look Into Lennox Intl Inc's Price Over Earnings

The incoming Donald Trump administration's ambitious energy plans, including a 3 million barrels per oil equivalent a day (mboe/d) production boost, a potential 25% tariff on Canadian oil and gas imports, and accelerated liquified natural gas (LNG) export approvals, could reshape U.S. energy markets — but not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42225506/canada-prepares-retaliatory-tariffs-as-trumps-threat-looms-analysts-warn-of-further-loonie-weakness">without winners and losers</a>.
In note to clients on Thursday, Goldman Sachs crunched the numbers on what could be seismic changes in U.S. energy markets under a Trump's second term. 
Let's break it down: what's realistic, what's speculative, and who bears the cost in this evolving energy landscape.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can The US Really Pump An Extra 3M Barrels a Day?</h3>
Trump's vision of ramping U.S. energy production by 3mboe/d from 2025 to 2028 is ambitious but not entirely unrealistic, according to Goldman.
It can be &#8220;achievable&#8221; by 2028, provided natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are included in the mix, according to analyst Callum Bruce, CFA. 
Between 2018 and 2023, U.S. energy production grew at an annual pace of 1.8mboe/d — more than double the 0.75mboe/d pace needed to hit that 3mboe/d goal. For 2025-2026, Goldman forecasts growth of 2.0mboe/d, achieving two-thirds of the target in the first two years of a possible Trump second term.
"Rising LNG demand, capital discipline, and energy prices are the key drivers behind this growth," Bruce said. However, policy changes are expected to have limited short-term effects on production.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What A 25% Tariff On Canadian Oil Could Mean</h3>
The administration&#8217;s other attention-grabbing idea — a 25% tariff on Canadian oil imports—has raised some eyebrows.
Canada is the U.S.'s largest crude oil supplier, exporting 4.0 million barrels per day (mb/d) to the U.S. over the past year — about 25% of total U.S. refinery inputs.
Most of that oil (2.8mb/d) heads to the Midwest, where refiners rely heavily on Canadian crude.
Key players in this market include Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>), and Exxon Mobile Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>). 
Goldman's analysis suggests a 25% tariff on Canadian oil imports would hit U.S. consumers in the short term through higher gas prices at the pump. However, over time, the burden could shift. 
At a later stage, Canadian producers could bear the brunt as they offer steep discounts to keep their oil flowing south. Western Canadian Select (WCS) crude, currently priced just under $60/barrel, could face a tariff-induced discount of $15/barrel to compete with U.S. alternatives.
Currently, WCS trades at just under $60 per barrel. A 25% tariff would add roughly $15 per barrel to costs, pressuring Canadian producers to cut prices and incentivizing U.S. refiners to seek cheaper alternatives.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs On Canadian Gas: Who Pays?</h3>
A 25% tariff on Canadian natural gas would tell a slightly different story.
Canadian gas exports to the U.S. average 5-6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), accounting for 5% of U.S. supply. A 25% tariff on these imports would likely squeeze Canadian producers in the short term, 
According to Goldman Sachs, a 25% tariff could slash U.S. imports by approximately 200 million cubic feet per day, based on current price differentials.
Goldman projects that, in the short term, Canadian producers would shoulder most of the tariff burden due to oversupply and low prices. But tighter U.S. gas balances from 2026 onward — driven by higher LNG exports — could allow more of the cost to be passed on to American consumers.
"Canadian gas producers would likely bear the bulk of the burden until U.S. balances tighten from 2026," he said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LNG Exports: Speeding Up Approvals Won't Move the Needle (Yet)</h3>
The report is skeptical that accelerating U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) approvals for LNG export projects will have any material impact on global or domestic gas balances before 2027.
"DOE approval is necessary, but not sufficient, for new LNG projects to move forward," Bruce said. Long-term capacity contracts and the time-intensive construction process remain the bigger hurdles.
That said, U.S. LNG exports are still on track to more than double by 2030, reaching 25 Bcf/d and increasing the U.S.'s global market share from 22% to 31%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Winners And Losers</h3>
Goldman's analysis offers a clear takeaway: while the energy boom may lift U.S. production, tariffs and policy changes could ripple through markets in ways that aren't always predictable.
Trump's proposed energy policies could reshape North American energy markets, but the impact varies depending on the player:
<ul>
<li>U.S. Consumers: Likely to face higher gas prices in the short term if Canadian tariffs are imposed.</li>
<li>Canadian Producers: Under pressure from lower prices for both oil and natural gas.</li>
<li>U.S. Producers: Positioned to capitalize on higher domestic production targets and rising LNG exports.</li>
<li>Midwest Refiners: Will face margin pressure but may offset costs by negotiating deeper discounts on Canadian crude.</li>

Trump's Energy Policies Poised To Reshape Oil & Gas Market: Winners And Losers Revealed

Compass CEO Robert Reffkin said in a CNBC interview last week that homebuyers are adapting to higher mortgage rates amid signs the housing market may have bottomed out. His comments follow October&#8217;s existing home sales data, which showed the annual increase in over three years, up 2.9% year over year.

While current 7% mortgage rates exceed comfortable buying levels, Reffkin sees improvement from last year&#8217;s 8.2% peak. He told CNBC that rates below 6% would signal a return to normal market conditions, though even a brief period at that level could catalyze significant activity. &#8220;Give me 5.999% for not a day but for a couple of months and we will be very close to mid-cycle,&#8221; he said.

Looking ahead, Reffkin cited historical patterns suggesting potential market improvement. &#8220;The year following 10 of the last 11 presidential elections, transaction volume and prices increased,&#8221; he explained, attributing it to buyers postponing purchases during election years.

Luxury markets show particular strength, with Reffkin noting wealthy buyers benefit from higher interest rates through investment income while remaining insulated from mortgage costs.
First-time buyers face continuing challenges, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41876775/u-s-homebuyers-are-now-56-on-average-as-younger-generations-struggle-with-wildly-unaffordable-market-housing-expert-warns">the average buyer age now 56 </a>compared to previous averages in the 20s. &#8220;First-time buyers are getting hit because of affordability. And affordability is an issue because there&#8217;s not enough inventory,&#8221; Reffkin explained.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today. </a>In response, Compass has launched several initiatives to increase inventory, including programs that eliminate concerns about days-on-market statistics and price reduction histories. His outlook aligns with that of other industry leaders, including Home Depot and Lowe&#8217;s executives, who believe housing turnover has likely decreased. &#8220;I think that we can&#8217;t go much lower,&#8221; Reffkin said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no sign in recent history of going much below four million and we&#8217;ve been at that level now for the last two years.&#8221;
Regarding recent industry changes around broker fees, Reffkin expressed some optimism. &#8220;Of all the reports that are out there, no one is saying that there&#8217;s a significant change in commissions,&#8221; he told CNBC, indicating minimal market impact so far.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
