Lennar Stock Slides After Worse-Than-Expected Q3 Report: Reflective Of 'Soft Market Conditions'

As Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) looks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/autonomous-vehicles">launch autonomous vehicles</a> and its robotaxis in select markets, the company could face setbacks with recent reports showing the vehicles struggling with stopping at railroad crossings.



What is TSLA stock doing now? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Track the action here.</a>



What Happened: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has put an emphasis on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46672257/tesla-worth-30-trillion-elon-musk-says-yes-but-investors-say-no">importance of FSD</a> and autonomous vehicles for the company's future.



A new report from <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk/tesla-full-self-driving-fails-train-crossings-drivers-warn-railroad-rcna225558">NBC </a>highlights recent issues with Tesla's FSD software being used and vehicles struggling to stop at train tracks.



"It felt like it was going to run through the arms," Tesla owner Italo Frigoli told NBC. "So obviously I just slammed on the brakes."



Frigoli, who was using FSD on his vehicle in June, said he stopped mere feet away from the railroad crossing that was lowering its arms and had flashing lights with a train headed that way.



"I would think with flashing red lights the car should stop on its own."



Tesla owner Jared Cleaver said his 2021 Tesla Model 3 using FSD came to a complete stop at a railroad crossing with a train coming and then began to go forward before he slammed on the brakes.



"I think it doesn't perform nearly as well as Elon claims and Tesla claims," Cleaver said.



Another driver experienced their Tesla vehicle using FSD turning left when it got to train tracks, according to Western Berks Fire Commissioner Jared Renshaw.



NBC News interviewed six drivers who experienced similar issues with railroad crossings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed to NBC News that it has been in contact with Tesla about the issues.



"We are aware of the incidents and have been in communication with the manufacturer," the NHTSA told NBC.



Along with the interviews, NBC also highlighted Tesla drivers who shared videos of similar incidents online and said the issues are also discussed on Tesla forums.



Massachusetts Institute of Technology research scientist Bryan Reimer told NBC that the expectation for self-driving technology is that it can handle railroad crossings, especially given Musk's claim that Tesla vehicles can drive themselves.



"You'd think they'd be able to reliably detect this stuff," Reimer said.



NBC said Tesla did not respond for comment and Musk has not publicly addressed the issue. Musk has said an FSD update is coming this month, but it&#8217;s unknown if a fix is in place for this issue.

Why It's Important: The NHTSA being aware of the situation could mean struggles for Tesla as it looks to roll out robotaxis in more cities and Musk saying unsupervised FSD could be available later this year in some areas.



President Donald Trump recently announced he would appoint autonomous vehicle critic Jonathan Morris to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back"> lead the NHTSA</a>, a potential setback for Tesla moving forward.



Trump himself is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45022642/trump-change-of-heart-or-musk-influence-president-once-said-hed-keep-autonomous-vehicles-from-operating-on-american-roads">previous autonomous vehicle critic</a>, a position that he seemed to have a slight change of heart on during his close friendship with Musk.



With Musk no longer working with the White House, he may not get the preferential treatment for his company he may have been hoping for.



&#8220;Do you like autonomous? Does anybody like an autonomous vehicle? Know what that is? Right? When you see a car driving along? Some people do, I don&#8217;t know. A little concerning to me, but the autonomous vehicles we&#8217;re going to stop from operating on American roads," Trump said in October 2024.



Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) also said recently that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/09/47588214/josh-hawley-to-introduce-bill-for-banning-autonomous-vehicles-pushes-for-onboard-safety-operators-terrible-for-working-people">he plans to introduce</a> a bill that would ban fully autonomous vehicles from the country.

Breaking Down CSX: 18 Analysts Share Their Views

In the current session, the stock is trading at $55.61, after a 3.67% spike. Over the past month, Helios Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLIO#NYSE">HLIO</a>) stock increased by 7.27%, and in the past year, by 25.59%. 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/2025/1758232879_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />
<h3>How Does Helios Technologies P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Helios Technologies has a better P/E ratio of 51.58 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 37.9 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that Helios Technologies 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/2025/1758232879_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.

If You Invested $1000 In Keysight Techs Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) just handed Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) a fresh headache. The chip giant is teaming up with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in a sweeping $5 billion collaboration to co-develop custom CPUs, GPUs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">and AI infrastructure</a>, leaving AMD on the outside looking in at a new two-horse race in both data centers and PCs.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Track AMD stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD">here</a>.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Matters For AMD</h2>



For years, AMD has positioned itself as the alternative to Nvidia in AI GPUs and Intel in CPUs, carving out share with its EPYC server processors and Radeon Instinct accelerators. 



But Nvidia's decision to effectively endorse Intel's CPUs — and even integrate RTX GPU chiplets into Intel SOCs — sidelines AMD's value proposition. 



Investors worry this could blunt AMD's push into AI servers just as demand surges, particularly since Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem remains the industry standard.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Market Dynamics</h2>



The Nvidia–Intel alliance doesn't just carry technical weight; it carries financial heft. Nvidia's $5 billion investment in Intel underscores its commitment to building a rival CPU-GPU powerhouse. 



That means AMD now faces a duopoly with a formidable moat — Nvidia's AI stack fused with Intel's manufacturing scale and x86 dominance. While AMD has made strides with MI300 accelerators and Xilinx integration, the perception of being the "third wheel" could weigh on sentiment unless it delivers breakthrough wins in AI adoption.



For AMD, the message is clear: the AI arms race just got more crowded. With Nvidia betting on Intel, the pressure is on CEO Lisa Su's team to prove that AMD can still play kingmaker in both AI infrastructure and next-gen PCs — or risk being squeezed by two industry giants closing ranks.

$1000 Invested In Aon 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

When it comes to memes, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/06/46157568/happy-birthday-elon-musk-54-facts-and-figures-about-tesla-spacex-ceo-on-his-54th-birthday">is a fan.</a> But when it comes to calling his electric vehicle company a "meme stock," he's not amused. One investing expert, however, argues that Tesla deserves the meme stock label given its current valuation.



What Happened: Tesla has often traded with a valuation higher than its automotive peers, a valuation that Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood believes should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/23/08/34102486/exclusive-cathie-wood-tells-benzinga-why-tesla-should-trade-as-a-tech-stock">be a reality.</a>



While experts argue whether Tesla should trade with a valuation of an automotive company or a technology company, the current valuation is significantly ahead of both sectors.



Sharing thoughts on Musk's new compensation package, Yale School of Management Senior Associate Dean Jeff Sonnenfeld didn't hold back with the meme stock analogy.



"This is the biggest meme stock we've ever seen," Sonnenfeld said in an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/09/05/teslas-proposed-pay-package-is-foolish-and-reckless-but-shareholders-problem-yales-sonnenfeld.html">CNBC</a>.



The investing expert highlighted the price to earnings ratio of Tesla being above 200. On Benzinga Pro, the PE ratio is 253.5x on a trailing twelve-month basis and 169.5x on a forward basis.



"Even at its peak, Amazon was nowhere near this level. The PE on this, well above 200, is just crazy. When you've got stocks like Nvidia, the price-earnings ratio is around 25 or 30, and Apple is maybe 35 or 36." &nbsp;



Sonnenfeld said Tesla's valuation is "crazy."



"They've, I think, put a little too much emphasis on the magic wand of Musk."

 Why It's Important: Asked about the new compensation plan for Musk, Sonnenfeld said it was "foolish" and "reckless" of the board and will turn into shareholders' problems.



The investing expert said no one is worth $1 trillion in compensation. Sonnenfeld also said that if Musk leaves Tesla, as he hinted at as a potential without a higher ownership percentage, he would be the person most impacted if the stock went down.



"He'd be the biggest loser," Sonnenfeld said.



In his interview, Sonnenfeld praised Musk&#8217;s talent and said there might not be anyone smarter or more entrepreneurial.



"He's a brilliant guy."



As for the premium valuation, Sonnenfeld also warned against shorting the stock.



"People shorting haven't done well due to timing."



Last month, Musk<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/08/47130405/elon-musk-sends-warning-to-tesla-short-sellers-they-will-be-obliterated"> issued a warning</a> to investors betting against the electric vehicle company.



"If they don't exit their short position before Tesla reaches autonomy at scale, they will be obliterated," Musk said, referring to a list of the top companies with short positions in the stock.



Sonnenfeld said he hopes that a succession plan is laid out for Tesla with someone new ready to take the company into the next phase. The expert highlighted Tesla losing market share in Europe and China with BYD dominating in certain markets.



"There isn't a part of the world where Tesla isn't falling under Musk."



The expert said it's time for Musk to move on and time for someone who "won't cost a trillion dollars" to lead the company.



TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock was down 2.1% to $416.85 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $212.11 to $488.54. Tesla stock is up 9.9% year-to-date in 2025. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
