<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Trump said Warsh is currently his top choice, while Hassett remains firmly in contention.</li><li>The President called for rates near 1% and said the Fed chair should consult with the White House.</li><li>The remarks followed the Fed’s third rate cut of the year, which drew rare internal dissent.</li></ul>U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly said he is weighing Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett as leading candidates to head the Federal Reserve next year, signalling that the race remains open despite recent speculation that a decision had already been made.Speaking in an interview with&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/trump-says-he-is-leaning-toward-warsh-or-hassett-to-lead-the-fed-34a200e5">The Wall Street Journal</a> at the White House, Trump said former Fed governor Kevin Warsh was at the top of his list, while also praising National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett. “You have Kevin and Kevin,” Trump said, adding that both were strong options, alongside a few other contenders.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Final Interviews Narrow Fed Chair Shortlist</h2>Hassett has widely been seen as the front-runner after Trump hinted in recent weeks that he had settled on a choice, but Trump’s comments indicated Warsh remains firmly in contention.The President also voiced frustration over his earlier choice of current Fed chair Jerome Powell in 2017, saying he relied on advice at the time that he now regrets.A final round of interviews is under way. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has spoken with Hassett and has also interviewed Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both appointed during Trump’s first term, as the shortlist is narrowed.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Focus On Interest Rates</h2>Trump reportedly held a roughly 45-minute meeting with Warsh, during which he pressed him on whether he would support interest-rate cuts if chosen to lead the central bank. Trump said Warsh favours lowering rates, adding that most advisers he has spoken to share that view.The president also said he believes the next Fed chair should consult with him on rate decisions, arguing that such coordination was more common in the past. He said he would like interest rates to be around 1% or lower, and within a year, citing the need to reduce the cost of financing roughly $30 trillion in U.S. government debt, the report said.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Recent Fed Decisions</h2>Trump’s remarks followed a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/fed-rate-decision-december-2025/cLIHXeOREVt">fresh rate cut by the Federal Reserve</a> on Wednesday, when policymakers lowered borrowing costs by a quarter point to a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, marking the third cut of the year. The decision was unusually divided, with three officials voting against it, marking the most dissents the Fed has seen since 2019.Fed officials said the move reflected a cooling job market alongside inflation that remains higher than desired. They struck a cautious tone about what comes next, signaling only one more rate cut in 2026 and outlining plans to begin buying Treasury bills later this month to keep the financial system well supplied with liquidity.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Candidate Backgrounds</h2>Hassett has worked with Trump longer than any other contender. He served as a senior economic adviser from 2017 to 2019, returned briefly during the Covid-19 pandemic, and became head of the National Economic Council earlier this year. He has played down speculation that he is the favourite, noting that Trump often changes his mind.Warsh, a former Wall Street executive and adviser to George W. Bush’s administration, served as a Fed governor from 2006 to 2011. Trump interviewed Warsh for the Fed chair role in 2017 but ultimately chose Powell.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ for both the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), with message volume described as ‘normal’ for SPY and ‘high’ for DIA. By contrast, sentiment for the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPY</a> is up 17%,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">DIA</a> is up 16%, and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">QQQ</a> is up 20%For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>The P/E ratio is considered one of the most important financial ratios as it helps analysts compare a company’s valuation over time or relative to peers.</li><li>There are two types of P/E ratios: the trailing P/E and the forward P/E.&nbsp;</li><li>The trailing P/E ratio offers a backward-looking perspective while the forward P/E reflects analysts’ estimates of future earnings.</li></ul>The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a widely used metric among investors to gauge a company’s valuation. The metric is derived by dividing the share price by earnings per share, which shows how much investors are willing to pay for one dollar of earnings.A higher P/E typically signals greater confidence in future growth, while a lower reading may reflect weaker expectations or a discounted valuation. According to the Corporate Finance Institute, the appeal of the P/E ratio lies in its simplicity, which allows investors to compare companies of different sizes.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Investors Use P/E Ratio</h2>Investors commonly use the P/E ratio as an initial step in judging whether stocks appear expensive or undervalued. It is widely adopted because the value can be compared across sectors or against the broader market.The P/E ratio is considered one of the most important financial ratios as it helps analysts compare a company’s valuation over time or relative to peers. It also helps detect if a company’s share price is in sync with its earnings.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Types Of P/E Ratios</h2>There are two common types of P/E ratios. The trailing P/E ratio uses reported earnings over the past 12 months, offering a backward-looking perspective. This approach provides stability since it uses confirmed numbers. The forward P/E, by contrast, reflects analysts’ estimates of future earnings.CFI noted that this version provides investors with a sense of expected growth, though the metric's accuracy depends heavily on the reliability of forecasts. Differences between the two can show how sharply earnings are expected to rise or fall.<h2 class="st-heading-2"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20251212_102350634_png_a144fe853f.webp" alt="koyfin_20251212_102350634.png">Limitations</h2>The metric remains an indispensable tool for investors because it provides an immediate view of how the market is valuing a particular company. However, it has some limitations. Earnings can swing dramatically; thus, the ratio may not be so reliable in providing an accurate picture of a firm with volatile earnings or negative profits.Valuation norms also differ widely across sectors, so a high multiple in one industry may be standard in another. For example, high-growth tech stocks trade at higher multiples than utility stocks.To get a clearer picture, analysts typically pair the P/E with other measures such as price-to-book and price-to-sales ratios. Even with its shortcomings, the P/E ratio remains a key reference point for investors.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rick-perry-backed-fermi-america-shares-plunge-after-losing-out-on-150-m-funding/cLIClECREFM">Rick Perry-Backed Fermi America Shares Plunge After Losing Out On $150M Funding For Giant Data And Energy Complex</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

What Is Price-To-Earnings Ratio And Why Does It Matter? 

A higher P/E typically signals greater confidence in future growth, while a lower reading may reflect weaker expectations or a discounted valuation.

The other two officials were Fed Governor Stephen Miran and Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid. While Miran wanted a 50 bps cut, Schmid joined Goolsbee to vote in favor of keeping rates unchanged.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Tariff-Induced Inflation</h2>Goolsbee added that he believes the Fed should have waited for more data, especially about inflation, before cutting rates for the third consecutive time.“Fundamentally, the elevated inflation may have come mainly from tariffs and may quickly prove transitory,” he said, while warning that there is a danger of the tariff-induced inflation lasting longer than what the current forecasts suggest.As for the labor market, Goolsbee said that most of the data suggested only moderate cooling. “At the least, there is little to suggest a deterioration of the labor market so rapid that we could not have waited for the data to come in the early months of next year before deciding to act,” he said.Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated on Wednesday that the labor market appears to be “gradually cooling.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rate Cut Optimism For 2026</h2>Goolsbee said he remains optimistic that interest rates can come down by a “significant amount” through 2026.Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims rose <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-jobless-claims-report-december-6-2025-week/cLIxfcCREnL">higher than expected</a> in the week ended December 6.

He also said the U.S. dollar and short-term cash-like instruments tend to weaken because yields fall and purchasing power erodes.Pompliano added that long-duration assets, including tech stocks and venture-backed companies, often see the strongest response because their valuations rely heavily on future cash flows, which become more attractive when rates drop.

The decision included three dissents, including two officials who supported no change and Fed Governor Stephen Miran, who preferred a deeper 50-basis-point cut.The rate move was widely expected on Wall Street. The unexpected development was the central bank’s plan to resume balance-sheet expansion by purchasing $40 billion in monthly Treasury bills, marking a return to asset accumulation after months of quantitative tightening.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investors Position For A ‘Liquidity Wave’</h2>Pompliano said the renewed bond-buying will likely lower yields further and push investors into higher-risk corners of the market. When the Fed increases liquidity, borrowing costs fall, confidence improves, and asset demand rises, he wrote.He also pointed to several deflationary forces he believes are converging on the U.S. economy. According to Pompliano, trends in AI, robotics, and tariffs each carry deflationary effects on their own but together create conditions that could challenge the Fed’s ability to manage monetary policy effectively.Overall, Pompliano stated that the return of QE is likely to leave investors “very happy,” given its historical impact on asset prices.
