<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

Activist investor Starboard Value has taken a stake in Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>) and is pressing the $72 billion medical technology company to sell its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41419988/tylenol-listerine-maker-kenvue-under-activist-spotlight-with-starboard-value-stake-overhaul-ahea" rel="noreferrer noopener">life sciences division</a>.
The hedge fund has met with Becton Dickinson's management and sent a letter to the board urging the divestiture of the unit, which supplies products for clinical and research laboratories. The size of Starboard's stake remains undisclosed.
Other shareholders have also begun advocating for the separation of the life sciences division, aligning with recent analyst reports suggesting that a spin-off could unlock significant value.
The Financial Times report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/69c614b4-1b52-43f0-ba8a-a3d8283cb576" rel="noreferrer noopener">writes</a> that in December, Bank of America analysts noted that the disparity between Becton Dickinson's current valuation and its potential "sum of the parts" was becoming too substantial to ignore.

Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on Becton Dickinson, Raises Price Target to $280

The S&amp;P 500 is charging into the final week of January at record highs, breaking above 6,100 points as investors digest a cocktail of economic optimism, earnings strength, and major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">policy shifts from Washington.</a>
At the center of this market euphoria is Donald Trump. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43085323/trump-sworn-in-as-47th-president-declares-golden-age-of-america-begins-right-now">newly sworn-in</a> 47th U.S. president began his first week with a series of executive orders targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43086509/trump-unleashes-executive-orders-on-border-security-oil-drilling-domestic-manufacturing-in-first-acts-as-president">trade, immigration and oil</a>. Some orders have immediate effects, others are symbolic, and several <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/21/g-s1-44023/trump-birthright-citizenship-immigration-order-14th-amendment">face</a> legal challenges.
On Tuesday, Trump also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus">unveiled plans for AI Stargate</a>, a $500 billion project. And on Thursday, Trump appeared in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKBWckduL2k">video address</a> at Davos, touting that the U.S. will be &#8220;the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto.&#8221;
Meanwhile, there's a quieter trend playing out: The final week of January has historically been a positive period for stocks, and data suggests a handful of S&amp;P 500 names could be primed for outsized gains.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">January's Final Week Sparked By Optimism </h3>
Seasonality isn't always a reliable predictor in markets, but when patterns persist for nearly a century, they demand attention. 
Data from Seasonax reveals that January has closed in positive territory 60% of the time over the past 97 years, with an average gain of 1.1%.
What's even more striking is that more than half of those gains have occurred in the final week of the month.
Since 1928, the S&amp;P 500 has climbed 0.6% on average in the last week of January, closing higher 61% of the time. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5 Stocks With a History Of Late-January Gains</h3>
Historical patterns don't dictate the future, but they often coincide. 
And according to two decades of market data, five S&amp;P 500 stocks have consistently outperformed during the final stretch of January.
