Looking into the current session, Clearwater Analytics Hldg Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CWAN#NYSE">CWAN</a>) shares are trading at $21.80, after a 1.04% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 2.85%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 17.46%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Clearwater Analytics Hldg P/E Compared to 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. 
Clearwater Analytics Hldg has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 164.32 of the Software 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.

Gorilla Technology Stock Surges On Q1 Earnings As Momentum Builds

Roundhill Investments launched five new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">WeeklyPay ETFs</a>, each aiming to deliver weekly dividends without sacrificing upside or using options.
The new additions include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZW#BATS">AMZW</a>), following Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKW#BATS">BRKW</a>), following Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOW#BATS">HOOW</a>), following Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>)</li>
<li>Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METW#BATS">METW</a>), following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) </li>
<li>Roundhill NFLX WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLW#BATS">NFLW</a>), following Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</li>
</ul>
These launches bring the WeeklyPay family to 10 ETFs. Each fund aims to capture 120% of the aggregate return of its underlying security each calendar week, as well as a regular distribution.
That&#8217;s a clear divergence from the way most single-stock income ETFs operate, usually through selling covered calls, which exchange upside potential for option premiums. And with more than $15 billion flowing into such a strategy, the company obviously believes there is room for disruption.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind Of Income ETF</h2>
Instead of depending on derivatives, Roundhill&#8217;s WeeklyPay ETFs employ leverage to enhance returns, aiming at 1.2x the performance of the underlying stock on a weekly basis. That multiplier, naturally, involves risk, particularly in downward environments, but it also avoids having investors forego gains in a bull market, as with covered call strategies.
The money also makes weekly payments, which might be enticing for income-oriented investors tired of the slow dribble of dividends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Tech Giants To Meme Stocks</h2>
Roundhill&#8217;s current roster already boasts single-stock ETFs tied to such names as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). But the company isn&#8217;t yet done.
It has applied for additional WeeklyPay ETFs tracking an eclectic roster: from blue chips such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), to semicon-weighty names such as AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), to speculative darlings such as Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
The message is plain: Roundhill is looking to track the entire gamut of investor demand—tech, momentum, income, and high-risk stocks—all under one umbrella.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch</h2>
While the structure has upside potential, it&#8217;s not without its cautionary tales. Leveraged exposure, even at a 1.2x rate, amplifies gains and losses as much as it amplifies the underlying. And while the absence of options sidesteps issues of premium decay and call-away risk, investors should still look at how distributions are made and what level of volatility to anticipate.

Top banker Jamie Dimon is calling for a sweeping transformation of the U.S. education system, warning that schools must evolve to meet the demands of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/employment">a rapidly changing workforce</a>.
What Happened: The JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co CEO, in an appearance at the Business Roundtable&#8217;s CEO Workforce Forum, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jamie-dimon-skills-shortage-schools-business-roundtable-2025-6">emphasized</a> the need for schools to integrate coding, cyber security and financial management into their curricula.
Dimon said that aligning educational programs with industry needs will better equip students to secure jobs in these high-demand fields. 
Dimon, who is also a board member of the New York Jobs CEO Council, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jamie-dimon-skills-shortage-schools-business-roundtable-2025-6">highlighted</a> how some educational institutions are collaborating with the private sector to create programs that enhance job readiness.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45988656/elon-musk-warns-us-faces-de-facto-bankruptcy-if-37-trillion-debt-not-tackled-peter-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Warns US Faces &#8216;De Facto&#8217; Bankruptcy If $37 Trillion Debt Not Tackled, Peter Schiff Says, &#8216;We Are Already Bankrupt&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jamie-dimon">Dimon</a> argues that businesses must take an active role in bridging the skills gap, rather than relying on government initiatives.
This approach could help mitigate the impact of technological advancements on employment and ensure a steady supply of skilled workers in critical areas.
Dimon&#8217;s sentiment comes as young graduates enter a workforce where automation and AI are rapidly displacing entry-level positions.
Chris Hyams, the CEO of popular job-search platform Indeed, recently warned that &#8220;for about two-thirds of all jobs, 50% or more of those skills are things that today&#8217;s generative AI can do reasonably well, or very well.&#8221;
Citing a study, which dissected roughly two million postings skill by skill, Hyams&#8217; blunt takeaway is that &#8220;pretty much every job is going to change if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45511651/ai-wont-steal-your-paycheck-yet-two-thirds-of-all-jobs-have-half-their-skills-up-for-grabs-says-indeed-ceo-chris-hyams">it&#8217;s not changing already</a>.&#8221;

Aurora Cannabis Denies News Of New Zealand-Based MedLeaf Therapeutics Acquisition

Editor&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to reflect the accurate percentage of the German population participating in the medical cannabis market. 
Shares of Aurora Cannabis Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) fell roughly 20% on Wednesday following the company's fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45997534/canadian-medical-marijuana-firm-aurora-cannabis-expects-weak-demand-in-international-market">Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings report</a>, even after reporting record-high medical cannabis revenue, adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow.
But CEO Miguel Martin isn't sweating the reaction.
"It was record earnings, record EBITDA, record free cash flow for the year," Martin told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga</a>. "Given the totality of the year and the quarter we put forth, I think it's a bit of an overreaction, but I understand it. I know people are sensitive."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Temporary Dip, Not a Trend</h3>
The company forecasted a short-term dip in international cannabis sales for the current quarter. Some investors seized on that detail, sending the stock lower.
"All [the guidance] said was that Q1 was going to be a little bit less in revenue and EBITDA connected to international cannabis than Q4," Martin explained. "We expect it to come back in Q2. We expect to be free cash flow positive for Q1 and for the year."
That Q1 softness, he added, is tied to short-term challenges in two of Aurora's core international markets.
"In Poland, it's about the regulatory process for patients to get prescriptions. In the UK, we had a little bit of timing as we brought on some new distributors," Martin said. &#8220;We think both will normalize, and neither should have an impact outside of Q1.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Focused On Medical, Not Chasing Recreational</h3>
Medical cannabis accounted for 75% of Aurora's Q4 revenue and nearly 90% of its gross profit.
"All of the profitability comes from medical cannabis and our investment in Bevo," Martin said, referring to the company's non-cannabis plant propagation business. "Our expertise and history is in medical cannabis."
Aurora still operates in Canada's adult-use market, but Martin made it clear that the segment is a small piece of the puzzle.
"Its purpose is to learn and innovate and get insights. We've right-sized it for us as we focus on profitability and growth. Right now, there are no plans to phase it out."
Aurora also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40970562/nasdaq-listed-aurora-cannabis-breaks-up-with-uruguay-its-not-you-its-the-market">exited its Uruguay operations last year</a>. Martin said the decision came down to commercial reality, not regulatory disappointment.
Also read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/05/45410084/legal-cannabis-10-years-later-real-data-from-the-first-country-to-do-it">Legal Cannabis, 10 Years Later: Real Data From The First Country To Do It</a>
"We thought there'd be opportunities to produce in Uruguay and then sell in Brazil. Unfortunately, with THC, it became challenging to certify and sell those products. It just didn't work out for us."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growing International Markets</h3>
More than 60% of Aurora's medical cannabis revenue now comes from outside Canada. Martin said that global growth will continue in familiar markets.
"Germany has roughly 0.4% of the adult population in the medical cannabis system. Canada's got 1%. So there's plenty of upside there," he told Benzinga. "In the next 12 months, it's going to be focused on increasing our market share in those locations."
While Aurora does operate a GMP-certified facility in Germany, Martin said most production remains centered in Canada.
"Because these are pharmaceutical products, we believe that the vast majority of our products sold globally will be produced in Canada."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bevo Bet</h3>
Aurora's Bevo Farms unit posted 32% year-over-year growth, and Martin highlighted a new revenue stream: orchids.
"We think Bevo will continue to be profitable and support what we're trying to do. It's a wonderful adjacency for us, even if it's not in the cannabis business," he said.
Martin emphasized that profitability—not brand synergy—is what drives investment decisions.
"If it wasn't profitable or accretive to our financials, we wouldn't have done it."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Risk</h3>
"The biggest risk is perception," Martin said. "Five years ago, people had big expectations for cannabis and they didn't materialize. Now it's hard for people to differentiate companies. Today, there are only a handful of companies that are free cash flow positive, have no debt and have a real strong growth trajectory, and we're one of them."
He also pointed to timing and policy volatility as ongoing challenges.
"We&#8217;re not seeing markets close or places legalize and then undo that. We&#8217;re talking about big economies here. Medical cannabis is profitable and it&#8217;s growing. And if you believe in it, Aurora should be a pick," Martin concluded.

EXCLUSIVE: Medical Cannabis Is Growing And Profitable, Says Aurora CEO — Investors Are Just Missing The Story

Smith &amp; Wesson Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>) reported fourth-quarter financial results for fiscal 2025 after the market close on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWBI/earnings">of the report</a>.
Q4 Highlights: Smith &amp; Wesson Brands reported fourth-quarter revenue of $140.8 million, missing analyst <a href="http://Benzinga.com/quote/SWBI/earnings">estimates</a> of $152.41 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share in the fourth quarter, missing estimates of 23 cents per share. 
Total sales were down 11.6% on a year-over-year basis. Gross margin fell to 28.8% in the quarter, down from 35.5% in the comparable quarter last year. The company attributed the declines to lower sales and production volumes and noted that the fourth quarter ended up being more difficult than it anticipated.
&#8220;Looking at the overall firearms market, we continue to see consumers generally being cautious due to macro-economic factors pressuring discretionary spending,&#8221; said Mark Smith, president and CEO of Smith &amp; Wesson Brands.
&#8220;While new products and lower price point offerings are still performing well, overall conditions suggest headwinds will likely persist in the near term. Despite these challenges, we remain well-positioned to succeed in this environment.&#8221;
Smith &amp; Wesson&#8217;s board authorized a quarterly dividend of 13 cents per share, payable on July 21 to shareholders of record as of July 7.
Smith &amp; Wesson said it expects demand for firearms in fiscal 2026 to be &#8220;similar&#8221; to fiscal 2025. The company believes firearm demand is being negatively impacted by &#8220;persistent inflation, high interest rates and uncertainty caused by tariff concerns.&#8221;
Smith &amp; Wesson executives will further discuss the quarter on a conference call with investors and analysts at 5 p.m. ET.
SWBI Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/swbi">Smith &amp; Wesson shares</a> were down 13.14% in after-hours Wednesday, trading at $9.44 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Cannabis Stock Movers For June 18, 2025

Olivia Moreno Carlson didn't picture 70 looking like this.
The Santa Fe, New Mexico, widow spent her life working retail, lifting boxes, caring for her husband as he battled multiple sclerosis, and doing everything she could to stay afloat. Now, after a lifetime of work, she's back on the job hunt—because Social Security just isn't cutting it.
"I live off of Social Security, which does not pay all my bills," <a href="https://youtu.be/7iqVlOGZV3s?si=KpCHebhzGjWGTnPq">Carlson told CBS Evening News</a>. "That's why I'm looking for work."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>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-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>

</ul>
After rent, she's left with less than $200 a month to survive on.
Carlson is one of the growing number of seniors caught in the gap between the promise of retirement and the reality of inflation. In CBS's "Cost of Living" series, she shared her daily routine—walking to the library to search for jobs, checking on her Walgreens application, and trying to find affordable food in a world where prices seem to rise every time she blinks.
She's not just applying online. She's walking into businesses and asking, face to face, if they're hiring. At one point in the segment, she checks on her application status at Walgreens and is met with a familiar line: "We don't have anything open right now, but keep an eye on it."
It's not that she wants to keep working. It's that she has to. "I cannot afford to retire," she said. "I did not think that being 70 would be like this."
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Carlson finds comfort in her Bible study group, where she admits there are moments she feels like giving up. The group gives her something to hold onto. But the financial stress never leaves.
"My greatest obstacle right now is being able to support myself," she said, pausing to steady her voice. "It is hard for me just to survive."
She had one message for those making decisions that affect people like her.
"I wish people in power would think more with their heart."
Her story isn't just heartbreaking—it's a quiet indictment of a system that's left many aging Americans with too little to live on, and no roadmap for what happens next. Carlson worked hard her entire life. Now she's just trying to make it through the month.
Her experience reflects a broader trend: more older Americans are working out of necessity. In 2024, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/38-3-percent-of-employed-older-americans-worked-part-time-in-2024.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com">38.3% of employed Americans</a> aged 65 and older held part-time jobs, while nearly one in five of that age group remained in the workforce overall — up from around 10% four decades ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Social Security is supposed to promise peace of mind, but experts warn its cost-of-living adjustments aren't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45929823/the-salary-a-single-person-needs-to-live-comfortably-now-outweighs-median-annual-wages-in-all-50-states">keeping pace with reality</a>. While payments recently rose to a <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/quickfacts/stat_snapshot/2025-05.html">record average of $2,002 a month</a>, inflation often outstrips these modest annual increases.&nbsp;
Her message is both heartbreaking and politically potent. According to <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/12/14/the-growth-of-the-older-workforce/">Pew Research</a>, as the U.S. population ages—by 2032, adults over the age of 65 are expected to make up 8.6% of the labor force up from 6.6% in 2022—more seniors like Carlson will face a choice between working past retirement age or risking financial hardship.&nbsp;
So what's the fix? Experts recommend beefing up retirement savings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44552100/i-have-no-doubt-theyre-going-to-raise-the-full-retirement-age-possibly-to-70-suze-orman-weighs-in-on-social-security-fears">delaying benefit claims</a> when possible, or supplementing income through part-time or remote work. But for Carlson, and many others, it comes down to empathy: to officials and policy makers who hold the levers of Social Security.

Trader Notes: As Bitcoin hovers around $104,000, traders remain sharply divided over its next move. While some warn of exhaustion, others see clear signs of continuation.
Jackis <a href="https://x.com/i_am_jackis/status/1935400752303763492">believes</a> the broader market is misreading the current cycle. He argues that Bitcoin is on the verge of a bullish breakout from a pennant pattern and preparing to enter price discovery mode, dismissing recent dips as mere fake-outs. According to him, Crypto Twitter is once again prematurely calling a cycle top, just like last year.
Titan of Crypto (aka Washigorira) echoes a more tempered but optimistic outlook, stating that Bitcoin is in the final stage of its bull market, which typically follows a three-year expansion post bear market. While nearing the end, he emphasizes: "It's not over yet."

Michael van de Poppe points to a strong bounce driven by potential geopolitical de-escalation and falling oil and gold prices. He says daily candles are improving across crypto, but BTC must break above $106,000 to confirm renewed strength.

However, Roman <a href="https://x.com/Roman_Trading/status/1935371243240439878">offers</a> a bearish counterpoint. He notes the past five weeks have produced some of the weakest price action in recent memory, marked by volatility and indecision. On higher timeframes, signs of market exhaustion are emerging, raising the risk that a bear market could be taking hold.

FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are up after NuScale Power disclosed it is working with the company to develop and test an integrated energy system simulator focused on hydrogen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45971345/sunrun-first-solar-plunge-solar-stocks-hit-hard-by-trump-tax-bill-latest">production and power generation. </a>
What To Know: The project, based at NuScale's headquarters in Corvallis, Oregon, is designed to model a wide range of industrial-scale hydrogen applications, specifically those requiring more than 200 metric tons of hydrogen per day.
<a href="https://www.nuscalepower.com/press-releases/2025/nuscale-advances-clean-water-and-hydrogen-production-with-breakthrough-research?utm_content=335382685&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;hss_channel=tw-229607618">According to NuScale</a>, the simulator integrates high-temperature steam electrolysis for hydrogen production, storage systems and a fuel cell mode for power output. FuelCell Energy contributed by developing and coupling a Solid Oxide Electrolysis model for producing hydrogen and a fuel cell model for power production. These models were linked to NuScale's Main Control Room Simulator, enabling dynamic testing of different configurations in real-time scenarios.
NuScale emphasized that this makes it the first small modular reactor (SMR) company to reach this level of technical integration for hydrogen production systems. The broader aim of the effort is to evaluate a range of SMR-powered hydrogen production approaches in support of commercial deployment.
The announcement appears to have driven investor interest in FuelCell Energy, as it positions the company as a technology partner in emerging nuclear-hydrogen infrastructure projects. This collaboration adds to FuelCell Energy's presence in the clean energy sector, particularly as regulatory and industrial attention around hydrogen production continues to increase.
Price Action: Fuelcell Energy shares closed Wednesday up 3.05% at $6.08, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>
