<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>

Evaluating Franklin Resources: Insights From 13 Financial Analysts

<h3>Comparing United States Steel P/E Against 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 20.65 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, United States Steel Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 22.11. Shareholders might be inclined to think that United States Steel Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734019292_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.

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares have surged 17% to $38.30 in the month of December following the results of an internal investigation by its Special Committee. The probe, conducted with legal and forensic experts, found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42290180/cleared-of-fraud-but-super-micros-visibility-into-compliance-remains-low-says-analyst">no evidence</a> of misconduct or fraud by management or the board.
The review examined areas like rehiring practices, revenue recognition and export controls, uncovering governance gaps. In response, the board approved key reforms, including appointing a new CFO to succeed David Weigand and hiring a chief compliance officer, general counsel, and chief accounting officer.
Super Micro also pledged to enhance training and tighten <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42284776/super-micro-shares-rise-over-7-in-premarket-after-independent-special-committee-found-no-evidence-of-misconduct-but-top-investment-bank-flags-two-key-points-to-watch">financial controls</a> to restore investor confidence. These measures aim to address lingering concerns despite the investigation's reassuring findings.

Super Micro reassured investors that its customer base remains solid, with no major order shifts.
The company is preparing for new product launches and expects its Malaysian plant to ramp up production in early 2025, supporting quarterly revenues of $5.5–$6 billion.
However, challenges persist. A recent governance issue flagged by Ernst &amp; Young led to the auditor's resignation, raising concerns about Super Micro's compliance and contributing to its marked market cap plunge. SMCI may also be at risk of Nasdaq 100 exclusion during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42445956/smci-teeters-on-edge-of-nasdaq-100-is-friday-d-day-for-super-micro">December's reshuffle</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI 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 Super Micro Computer&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology 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.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI has a 52-week high of $122.90 and a 52-week low of $17.25.
