<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing ADMA Biologics's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ADMA Biologics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 15.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On ADMA Biologics

AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/azn#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) announced that it has signed an exclusive license agreement with China-based CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd for developing an early-stage, small molecule Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) disruptor for helping patients with dyslipidaemia.
The latest agreement is likely to strengthen AstraZeneca&#39;s cardiovascular pipeline, which is being studied for treating various cardiovascular diseases.
Year to date, shares of AstraZeneca have rallied 14.1% compared with the industry&#39;s rise of 18.5%.

<h2>More on AZN&#39;s Latest Agreement</h2>
Per the deal, AZN will make an upfront payment of $100 million to CSPC. The company is also entitled to pay up to $1.92 billion for further development and commercialization milestones plus tiered royalties to CSPC.
Per the latest agreement with CSPC, AstraZeneca will gain access to the latter&#39;s pre-clinical candidate, YS2302018, an oral Lp(a) disruptor, and develop the same for various cardiovascular diseases. The company will develop YS2302018 alone or in combination studies, including with the oral small molecule PCSK9 inhibitor, AZD0780.
Discovered by CSPC, YS2302018 has been shown to effectively prevent the formation of Lp(a), a form of low-density lipoprotein&nbsp;that plays a key role in transporting cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Per the company, the addition of YS2302018 to AZN&#39;s cardiovascular pipeline might help patients to more effectively manage their dyslipidaemia and cardiometabolic diseases.
<h2>AZN&#39;s Airsupra Meet Goal in BATURA Study</h2>
In a separate press release, AstraZeneca announced positive data from the phase IIIb BATURA study, which evaluated its pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI), Airsupra (albuterol/budesonide).
Data from the study showed that treatment with Airsupra led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of a severe exacerbation when used as an as-needed rescue medication in response to symptoms versus as-needed albuterol in patients with intermittent or mild persistent asthma. This was the primary endpoint of the BATURA study.
Airsupra is approved for as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction and to reduce the risk of exacerbations in people with asthma aged 18 years and above in the United States. It is the first and only anti-inflammatory rescue medication for the given condition.

Launched on 04/19/2011, the First Trust Small Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fyc#NASDAQ">FYC</a>) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Growth category of the market.
<h2>What Are Smart Beta ETFs?</h2>
The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment.
Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency.
There are some investors, though, who think it&#39;s possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
<h2>Fund Sponsor &amp; Index</h2>
The fund is sponsored by First Trust Advisors. It has amassed assets over $328.59 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Growth. Before fees and expenses, this particular fund seeks to match the performance of the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Small Cap Growth Index.
The NASDAQ AlphaDEX Small Cap Growth Index is an enhanced which employs the AlphaDEX stock selection methodology to select stocks from the NASDAQ US 700 Small Cap Growth Index.
<h2>Cost &amp; Other Expenses</h2>
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.70% for FYC, making it one of the most expensive products in the space.
It&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 0.41%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
For FYC, it has heaviest allocation in the Healthcare sector --about 22.90% of the portfolio --while Industrials and Information Technology round out the top three.
When you look at individual holdings, Adma Biologics, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adma#NASDAQ">ADMA</a>) accounts for about 0.92% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mirm#NASDAQ">MIRM</a>) and Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (class A) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zeta#NYSE">ZETA</a>).
Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 7.9% of FYC&#39;s total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
So far this year, FYC has added roughly 16.21%, and was up about 25.24% in the last one year (as of 09/17/2024). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $51.50 and $73.05.
The fund has a beta of 1.18 and standard deviation of 24.03% for the trailing three-year period, which makes FYC a high risk choice in this particular space. With about 265 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
First Trust Small Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Growth segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF (ARCA:IWO) tracks Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF (ARCA:VBK) tracks CRSP U.S. Small Cap Growth Index. IShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF has $11.60 billion in assets, Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF has $17.61 billion. IWO has an expense ratio of 0.24% and VBK charges 0.07%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Growth.
