Insurance companies serve as the backbone of risk management, providing essential protection and financial security for individuals and businesses. These institutions have benefited from improved pricing power and robust premium growth, so it’s no surprise the industry has posted a 13% gain over the past six months, nearly mirroring the S&P 500.

Cava (CAVA) stock is down about 44% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 was roughly flat. A fall that size usually leaves something cheap behind. It has not here. Cava still trades at 88 times earnings against about 23 for the S&P 500, and much of what you are paying for is restaurants that are not open yet.

Axon Enterprise (AXON) fell 9.8% on Tuesday after announcing plans to sell $1.0 billion of convertible senior notes carrying a 0% coupon. Money at no interest sounds cheap. The market read it as a sign that Axon's growth is not yet paying for itself.
PayPal (PYPL) has gained 27% over the past three months while the S&P 500 returned 0.7%. Over the trailing twelve months, the stock is still down 18.7%, so the whole gain is recent.
