<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743602426_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Vipshop Holdings 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 40.17 in the Broadline Retail industry, Vipshop Holdings Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.77. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743602426_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.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Zebra Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.36%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Merit Medical Systems?

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSOePmWFVNo">spoke</a> at Arizona State University about everything from his childhood hustle to his current fight against high drug prices, but one message stood out loud: companies that don't adapt to artificial intelligence will get left behind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embrace AI or Get Left Behind</h2>
&#8220;There's going to be two types of companies,&#8221; Cuban told students during the &#8220;Dialogues for Democracy&#8221; event hosted by Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ). &#8220;Those who are great at AI, and everybody else that they put out of business.&#8221;
Don't Miss:

<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/startengine-own">The $1.3 billion startup investment boom: How this company's explosive growth is opening doors for everyday investors with a new $500 minimum</a></li>
</ul>
Cuban emphasized that AI isn&#8217;t just another tool—it&#8217;s the future of competitive advantage. &#8220;Whatever your strengths are, AI can make you better at them. That's it, period. End of story,&#8221; he said. He compared the moment to the early days of personal computers, when people were terrified to make the leap from typewriters and calculators to software tools like Lotus 1-2-3.
He asked the students, &#8220;You know why people took typing in high school? Because people thought if you didn&#8217;t type 55 words a minute, you weren&#8217;t going to be able to get a job as a secretary. That sounds insane today, but AI is the exact same thing.&#8221;
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.
He encouraged students to fully <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44067809/mark-cuban-shares-two-things-hed-do-at-12-to-succeed-and-they-work-for-everyone">immerse themselves in AI tools</a> like ChatGPT and Google&#8217;s NotebookLM, saying these systems can transform dense PDFs and class materials into interactive conversations or even podcasts.&nbsp;
Cuban stressed that students who understand and use AI will have an edge no matter what field they enter. &#8220;You&#8217;re the AI generation. Nobody in politics that I&#8217;ve seen really gets AI. When you walk in the door, if you&#8217;re the experts in that space, they have to listen to you.&#8221;
He warned that industries, jobs, and even universities that don&#8217;t adapt will be overtaken. &#8220;It's going to create more opportunity, not less.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Selling Garbage Bags to Building Billion-Dollar Businesses</h2>
Cuban grew up in Pittsburgh and credits his dad, who worked in car upholstery, as his biggest inspiration. He started hustling early, selling baseball cards and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39440861/mark-cuban-began-his-millions-selling-garbage-bags-for-6-the-worlds-first-garbage-bag-door-to-do">garbage bags door to door</a>.
When he was 12, he wanted a new pair of baseball shoes. That&#8217;s when his dad told him, &#8216;When you get a job, you can buy any pair of shoes you want,&#8217; he recalled. Apparently, that was &#8220;the best thing&#8221; that happened to him, as he learned more about business from selling garbage bags than from anything else in his entire life.
He dropped out of high school early to take college classes and later transferred to Indiana University because it was the cheapest top-ranked business school.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.1 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Analog Devices has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Analog Devices's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Analog Devices's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.67%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uncertainty Ahead Of Liberation Day</h2>
As Bloomberg columnist Conor Sen noted on X on Monday, we seem to be facing a big inflection point this week.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The possible vibe shift (in either direction) over the next 48 hours between the special elections and Liberation Day has super wide tails.
&mdash; Conor Sen (@conorsen) <a href="https://twitter.com/conorsen/status/1906773370781184448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
What Sen wrote is probably a lot more true of Liberation Day than the special elections.&nbsp;President Trump's announcement of the details of our new tariff regime (Liberation Day) seems like a big deal. Either the details are worse than the market expects, in which case we see another leg down in stocks, or the reverse and we get a big relief rally.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When In Doubt, Bet On Both</h2>
Since we don't know which is going to happen, why not bet on both outcomes? As long as your potential upside on each trade is greater than 100%, you can make money on the combination of both bets in either outcome. Below is an approach you can use. For illustration purposes, we&#8217;ll use data as of Tuesday&#8217;s close. You may want to check real-time data before placing your trades though.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pick A Couple Of Stocks To Bet On</h2>
Here, you&#8217;ll want stocks that are sensitive to tariffs and also more volatile than the market. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="659" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081826/Tariff-Heatmap-For-U.S.-Stocks-1024x659.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9520" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081826/Tariff-Heatmap-For-U.S.-Stocks-1024x659.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081826/Tariff-Heatmap-For-U.S.-Stocks-300x193.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081826/Tariff-Heatmap-For-U.S.-Stocks-768x494.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081826/Tariff-Heatmap-For-U.S.-Stocks.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
For example, you might pick Nvidia (NVDA) and Micron (MU), based on the tariff risk heatmap above. Both of these stocks are likely to rise more than the market on a relief rally. They&#8217;re also likely to fall further than the market if we get another leg down (Disclosure, we are currently short Nvidia via options). 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Check The Options Market For Both</h2>
To get a feel for how much each stock might move by the end of the week, you can check the at the money straddle for options expiring on Friday. For Nvida, the midpoint of the spread on the at-the-money calls was $2.55 as of Tuesday&#8217;s close (screen captures via Fidelity). 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="217" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081918/NVDA-1-1024x217.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9521" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081918/NVDA-1-1024x217.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081918/NVDA-1-300x64.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081918/NVDA-1-768x163.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02081918/NVDA-1.jpg 1072w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
And the midpoint of the spread of the ATM puts was $2.35. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="218" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082008/NVDA-2-1024x218.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9522" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082008/NVDA-2-1024x218.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082008/NVDA-2-300x64.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082008/NVDA-2-768x163.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082008/NVDA-2.jpg 1068w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
So the options market was expecting a move of about $4.90 in either direction. Using the same approach, the options market was expecting about a $4 move in Micron in either direction.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up Your Trades</h2>
After repeating the process above in real time, you can place options spreads within the anticipated range of each stock. So, for example, a bullish bet on Micron might look like this: buying the $90 strike puts expiring on April 4th and selling the $92 strike puts expiring the same day, for a net credit of $1.33. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="545" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082315/Micron-Put-Spread-1024x545.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9523" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082315/Micron-Put-Spread-1024x545.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082315/Micron-Put-Spread-300x160.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082315/Micron-Put-Spread-768x409.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082315/Micron-Put-Spread.jpg 1057w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
If the stock closes above $92 on Friday, you would make close to 200% on your trade, and if it closed below $90, you would lose 100%.&nbsp;
Here&#8217;s what a bearish bet on Nvidia might look like: Buying the $107 strike calls expiring on April 4th and selling the $105 strike calls expiring on the same day, for a net credit of $1.55. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082434/NVDA-Trade-1024x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9524" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082434/NVDA-Trade-1024x563.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082434/NVDA-Trade-300x165.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082434/NVDA-Trade-768x422.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/02082434/NVDA-Trade.jpg 1058w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
With that trade, if NVDA closes below $105 on Friday, you could make close to 300%. If it closes above $107, you could lose 100%.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Money On Both Outcomes&nbsp;</h2>
As a reminder, the numbers above are all as of Tuesday&#8217;s close, so actual trades you place today might look a bit different. But for illustrative purposes, let&#8217;s say you get fills on both of these trades. Let&#8217;s consider what would happen in two scenarios.&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>We have a big relief rally. Nvidia and Micron both spike, and you make about 200% on your Micron trade and lose 100% on your Nvidia trade. Overall, you would have made money. </li>
<li>We get another leg down in the market. Nvidia and Micron both drop. You lose 100% on your Micron trade and make about 300% on your Nvidia. trade. Overall, you would have made money. </li>
</ol>
The outcome where you could lose money on both trades would be one where the market just stays flat.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Too Complicated? Just Want To Limit Your Risk?&nbsp;</h2>
