<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cardinal Health has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cardinal Health'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>, Cardinal Health's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.81%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Wall Street rebounded Friday following Thursday&#8217;s selloff, yet midday gains were still insufficient to prevent a second consecutive weekly decline for the S&amp;P 500, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">down 1% for the week. </a>
Concerns over tech earnings eased after Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) outperformed expectations, restoring some risk appetite and supporting the sector rebound.

In economic data, the U.S. economy added just 12,000 jobs in October, a steep drop from the 223,000 gain in September and well below the forecast of 113,000, as hurricanes and strikes led to hiring freezes nationwide.

Cues From Last Session:
All three major indices registered a downbeat Thursday, with S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting their biggest single-day fall since Sept. 3.
The overall investor sentiment declined, with the Greed index entering the "Fear" territory.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with information technology, consumer discretionary, and real estate stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday. However, utilities and energy stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
Crude oil prices edged up, mostly recovering their losses over the previous weekend due to Israel's missile strikes on Iran.
Treasury yields continued to climb amid fears of higher deficits due to a possible re-election of former President Donald Trump.

Insights From Analysts:
Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, highlighted that November is the "best month of the year" as far as equity markets are concerned.
"The last time it fell more than 1% was in 2008, and it has been higher 11 of the past 12 years. Not to be outdone, it is the best month since 1950, in the past decade, and in election years, while it ranks as the second-best month the past 20 years (only July is better)."
Detrick <a href="https://www.carsongroup.com/insights/blog/seven-reasons-this-bull-market-is-alive-and-well/">added</a> that the bull market is here to stay. After experiencing a bull run for the past three years, the expert highlighted that "the potential for many more years of gains is actually quite high."
WisdomTree and Wharton School economist&nbsp;Jeremy Siegel, too, thinks earnings will beat interest rates, but there's something more important to consider.
He added that there could be increased anxiety in the markets until the election is over, after which there could be a bounce back.
However, Siegel added that he now anticipates only three 25-basis point rate cuts between now and June next year.
"Earnings will trump interest rates for stocks, but certainly for bonds, they are not good," Siegel told CNBC in <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/10/31/earnings-will-trump-interest-rates-for-stocks-but-not-bonds-says-whartons-jeremy-seigel.html">an</a> interview.
