i have been dipping my fingers in options trading first time and learning a few things. i hold some #CMS options. this is a painfully slow moving stock with beta at 0.42 - maybe a good candidate for options trading newbie like me. i am also learning about value investing and see some metrics like enterprise value standing at $43B compared to market cap of $24B, current PE at 22 and forward PE at 18.8. there has been a fair bit of focus on energy stocks due to the AI DC boom and the impact it is having on valuation of these energy stocks getting re-rated. (compare it to the likes of Entergy #ETR). CMS recently had a possible breakout but its been trading in a small range - $67-$78. why do energy stocks trade so low as compared to their enterprise value? i feel there is decent upside here. thoughts??
