In the current market session, Curtiss-Wright Inc. (NYSE:CW) share price is at $363.79, after a 6.39% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.28%, but in the past year, spiked by 48.29%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

A Look at Curtiss-Wright P/E Relative to Its Competitors

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.

Curtiss-Wright has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 72.94 of the Aerospace & Defense 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.

Sports betting and iGaming company DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG) could provide updated guidance after a Super Bowl outcome that may have been favorable to the sector when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results Thursday after market close.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect DraftKings to report fourth-quarter revenue of $1.43 billion, up from $1.23 billion in last year’s fourth quarter according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The revenue estimate would mark a record for the company and come after DraftKings missed analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters. The company has beaten revenue estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters.

Analysts expect DraftKings to report a loss of 15 cents per share in the fourth quarter, down from a profit of 29 cents in last year’s fourth quarter. The company has been profitable in four of the last six quarters.

While DraftKings missed revenue estimates in recent quarters, the company has a streak of beating analyst earnings per share estimates in 11 straight quarters.

What Analysts Are Saying: A new investor note from Bank of America calls Super Bowl LIX good for the sportsbooks like DraftKings.

While Super Bowl LIX won’t factor into the fourth-quarter results, the big NFL event could factor into 2025 guidance and forward-looking commentary from the company.

“Big Game = Big win for the birds and the books,” Bank of America said.

GeoComply, which verifies bettors locations, said reporting activity was up 14% year-over-year for Super Bowl LIX. Betting handle in New Jersey was up 19% year-over-year.

“We think the ability to grow double-digits during the biggest event of the year is impressive and could help assuage concerns of slowing handle.”

Sportsbooks also benefitted from the Super Bowl LIX outcome according to the Bank of America note. As Benzinga previously reported, sportsbooks favored an outcome where the Eagles won and the over/under was under 48.5 points. While the point total hit the over, the Eagles won the game, ending many future bets on a Chiefs three-peat.

Sportsbooks may have also benefitted from player props with Saquon Barkley and Travis Kelce not getting touchdowns as two of the most bet on anytime TD players.

Bank of America estimates that Super Bowl LIX could add $20 million to $25 million of EBITDA to DraftKings for fiscal 2025.

The report said that DraftKings led the sports betting sector for downloads on Super Bowl Sunday and new download share.

While the report points to several positives for DraftKings, analysts at Bank of America see headwinds from higher taxes in some states and a lack of regulatory certainty on new state legalizations.

“Despite the solid start to 2025, we don’t expect DKNG to raise their FY guidance given regulatory uncertainty.”

Bank of America analyst Shaun Kelly has a Buy rating and $54 price target on DraftKings.

Here are the recent analyst ratings on DraftKings and their price targets:

• Needham: Reiterated Buy rating, with $60 price target
• TD Cowen: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $55 to $51
• Susquehanna: Maintained Positive rating, lowered price target from $56 to $54
• Benchmark: Reiterated Buy rating, with $44 price target

Key Items to Watch: DraftKings fourth quarter includes the months of October, November and December, which is prime NFL season for bettors.

The company already announced an adjustment to its 2024 guidance due to some unfavorable periods of outcomes for the sportsbook that favored bettors for NFL games.

Investors and analysts will be looking to see how the final figures came out for the quarter and how much of an impact NFL favorites winning so many games had on the sportsbook.

Guidance for 2025 and positive commentary on Super Bowl LIX will likely be the items that could move the stock after earnings.

DraftKings could also share more color on how other sports outside of the NFL are performing and what the next few months without football could mean.

DKNG Price Action: DraftKings stock is up 3.5% to $28.69 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $28.69 to $49.57. DraftKings stock is up 3% over the past year.

Cryptocurrency company Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) could highlight record profitability and user metrics when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results after market close Thursday.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Coinbase to report fourth-quarter revenue of $1.83 billion, up from $953.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The revenue estimate would mark the highest quarterly total for Coinbase since the fourth quarter of 2021 if the company hits the figure. This would also mark four straight quarters of revenue of $1.2 billion or more.

Coinbase missed analysts revenue estimates in the third quarter, but has beaten estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters overall.

Analysts expect Coinbase to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.71, up from 51 cents per share in the fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in seven straight quarters.

Coinbase has reported profitability in four straight quarters and a profit in the fourth quarter would make each quarter in 2024 profitable.

What Analysts Are Saying: A surge in crypto asset prices and trading volumes in the fourth quarter could help Coinbase’s financials, HC Wainwright analyst Mike Colonnese said in a new investor note.

The analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $255 to $330.

“President Donald Trump’s re-election in early November proved to be a shot in the arm for the crypto industry, as the event catalyzed a massive rally in digital asset prices and trading volumes in 4Q24,” Colonnese said.

The analyst said Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) hit all-time highs in the fourth quarter along with spot trading volumes hitting records in the quarter. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs had net inflows of over $16 billion in the fourth quarter, the analyst added.

Coinbase is the custodian of many of the U.S. Bitcoin ETFs.

Colonnese also said Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) had “strong gains” in the fourth quarter, up 28% quarter-over-quarter.

Colonnese said Coinbase is likely to be a beneficiary from the fourth quarter’s record in spot volume for centralized exchanges, which surpassed previous all-time highs set back in May 2021.

“Our revised 4Q24 revenue and earnings estimates are now above consensus forecasts, as we expect Coinbase to deliver a top and bottom line beat this Thursday after the close.”

He raised fourth-quarter estimates and fiscal 2025 estimates on the heels of the record quarter and new White House administration.

Colonnese’s 2025 revenue estimate goes from $5.3 billion to $7.3 billion. His 2025 earnings per share estimate goes from $2.77 to $8.29.

Here are other recent analyst ratings on Coinbase and their price targets:

• Needham: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $420 to $330
• Mizuho: Upgraded from Underperform to Neutral, raised price target from $250 to $290
• Oppenheimer: Maintained Outperform rating, lowered price target from $358 to $334
• Goldman Sachs: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $397 to $340
• Piper Sandler: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $245 to $285

Key Items to Watch: Among the key items to watch will be commentary on what President Donald Trump and the new White House administration means for the cryptocurrency sector and the company.

The company acknowledged the 2024 election as one of its biggest upcoming catalysts the last time it reported quarterly results. With Trump now sworn in as president, the company could provide more bullish color on what this means.

Bitcoin hit all-time highs after the election and the fourth quarter will likely see many records for Coinbase due to a surge in prices and trading volume.

Investors and analysts will also be looking for color on how January performed with more all-time highs for Bitcoin hit and Trump officially sworn in.

Another item to watch could be on the company’s international expansion. Coinbase recently announced its registration as the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United Kingdom. Coinbase also recently received regulatory approval to launch in Argentina.

COIN Price Action: Coinbase stock is up 2.1% to $272.45 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $137.13 to $349.75. Coinbase stock is up 85% over the last year.

For comparison, Bitcoin is up 95% over the last year.

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock is up significantly over the last year, a trend that could continue if the company reports a strong fourth-quarter earnings report Wednesday after market close.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Robinhood to report fourth-quarter revenue of $920.41 million, up from $471.0 million in last year’s fourth quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company missed estimates in the last quarter, but has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in six of the last 10 quarters.

The revenue estimate would be a company record and would put the company back on track for quarter-over-quarter increases after the third quarter broke a trend of recent consecutive increases.

Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of 43 cents, up from 3 cents per share in last year’s fourth quarter.

The company has been profitable in five of the last six quarters and has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight of the last 10 quarters.

Key items to Watch: Robinhood’s third-quarter results missed the key revenue estimate from analysts, but otherwise had several positive items like funded customers up one million and investment accounts up 1.5 million. Assets under custody and net deposits also saw strong growth in the third quarter.

Investors and analysts will be hoping that Robinhood can report strong growth in these areas and also beat the headline revenue and earnings per share estimates for the fourth quarter.

Another key area to watch will be Robinhood’s Gold subscribers, a key growth item from the company that provides recurring revenue. The company added 860,000 Gold subscribers in the third quarter to a total of 2.2 million subscribers.

Robinhood recently introduced Robinhood Legend, which could get some mentions during the quarterly results and be a key item to watch.

The company’s fourth quarter also saw the release of 2024 election contracts, which had hundreds of thousands of contracts traded. The results could show how big of an impact this quick launch had for the company.

Another item to watch could be any commentary on Robinhood’s decision not to offer the Super Bowl contracts due to a complaint from the CFTC. Robinhood has hinted at expansion into sports betting and more event contracts in the future.

Here are the recent analyst ratings on Robinhood and their price targets:

• Mizuho: Maintained Outperform rating, raised price target from $60 to $65
• Raymond James: Initiated with Market Perform rating, no price target
• KeyBanc: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $50 to $57

HOOD Price Action: Robinhood stock is down 4% to $54.03 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $11.43 to $57.27. Robinhood stock is up 36.4% year-to-date in 2025 and up 348% over the last year.

Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) has a history of beating analyst estimates in recent quarters and looks to keep the streak alive with its fourth-quarter financial results before the market opens Tuesday.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Coca-Cola to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of 52 cents. That’s up from 49 cents in last year’s fourth quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in three straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters overall. The other two quarters the company didn’t beat estimates, the results were in-line with analysts.

Analysts expect Coca-Cola to report fourth-quarter revenue of $10.68 billion, down from $10.85 billion in last year’s fourth quarter.

The Atlanta-based company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in 15 straight quarters, according to Benzinga Pro data.

What Analysts Are Saying: Piper Sandler analyst Michael Lavery said Coca-Cola has attractive and sustainable growth drivers. In an investor note last month, he highlighted the North America and Latin America regions for seeing strong growth that can be sustainable over the long term.

Lavery initiated coverage on the stock with an Overweight rating and a $74 price target, which was later revised down to $73 later in January.

The analyst said the North America and Latin America regions still have a large percentage of their populations that do not drink commercial beverages, offering an expansion opportunity.

Rising incomes in emerging markets along with population growth could be long-term drivers for “sustainable volume and pricing gains,” Lavery said.

Here are other recent analyst ratings on Coca-Cola and their price targets.

• RBC Capital: Reiterated Outperform rating, raised price target from $68 to $69
• Jefferies: Upgraded from Hold to Buy, raised price target from $69 to $75
• JPMorgan: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $75 to $70
• Barclays: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $73 to $66

Key Items to Watch: Coca-Cola’s earnings report comes after rival PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) recently reported fourth-quarter financial results. Pepsi shares fell after the report with the company missing analyst estimates.

While Pepsi competes in both the beverage and food markets, the company’s North American PepsiCo division is most comparable with the beverage unit of Coca-Cola in North America. This segment saw flat revenue in the quarter for Pepsi.

Coca-Cola’s report could include a look at inflation, consumer spending habits and more on how higher prices for several grocery items are impacting spending on beverages.

The beverage giant is a key market indicator as a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, although the company’s lower share price makes the stock the 28^th largest weighting of 30 stocks.

The company’s earnings report will also be closely watched by legendary investor Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK)(NYSE:BRK).

Berkshire Hathaway owns 400 million Coca-Cola shares. The stock is one of the largest holdings of the legendary investor’s conglomerate.

Investors and analysts, and maybe Buffett, will be interested to hear if Coca-Cola provides an update on 2025 guidance. The company expects adjusted net revenue and earnings per share to have a low single-digit and mid-single-digit currency headwind, respectively.

Price Action: Coca-Cola stock was up 1.1% to $64.55 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $57.93 to $73.53. Coca-Cola stock is up 7.5% over the last year.

Shares of rival Pepsi trade at $143.73 versus a 52-week trading range of $141.51 to $183.39. Pepsi stock is down 15.8% over the last year.

Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi shares have underperformed the S&P 500. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is up 20.7% over the past year.
