Pre-market: 5 titoli da monitorare oggi, 31 dicembre 2024

<p><strong>Elon Musk</strong> has roasted his fair share of billionaires, but his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45484920/more-than-a-feud-elon-musk-bill-gates-spat-sheds-light-on-competing-views-of-efficiency">ongoing feud with <strong>Bill Gates</strong></a> might be the pettiest — and most expensive — of them all.</p>
<p>According to Musk, the Microsoft co-founder didn't just short Tesla stock behind his back — he allegedly tried to profit off the company's collapse. Then, with perfect timing, Gates asked Musk to support his climate philanthropy. Musk's reaction? "Boggles the mind."</p>
<p>"The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy of Gates who had the nerve to ask me to donate to his mostly window-dressing environmental causes," <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1701342980114706613">Musk posted on X</a>, "while simultaneously aiming to make $500M from Tesla's demise, boggles the mind…"</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"><strong> </strong><strong>Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $10.</strong></a></strong></li>

</ul>
<p>Musk wasn't done. "Gates placed a massive bet on Tesla dying when our company was at one of its weakest moments," he continued. "To the best of my knowledge, Gates still has that massive bet against Tesla on the table. Someone should ask him if he does."</p>
<p>The $500 million figure wasn't pulled from thin air. According to biographer <strong>Walter Isaacson</strong>, Gates placed the short years earlier, and by the time of a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/11/tech/elon-musk-bill-gates-isaacson-book">2022 meeting with Musk</a> at Tesla's Austin Texas gigafactory, he had already lost between $1.5 billion and $2 billion.</p>
<p>Gates reportedly apologized — and later told Isaacson, "Once he heard I'd shorted the stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">he was super mean to me</a>. But he's super mean to so many people, so you can't take it too personally."</p>
<p><strong>Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Musk didn't exactly send back a fruit basket. After that meeting, he texted Isaacson:</p>
<p>"At this point, I am convinced that he is categorically insane (and an a–hole to the core). I did actually want to like him (sigh)."</p>
<p>This wasn't the first time the two billionaires butted heads. In 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45305930/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-has-no-clue-after-gates-claimed-electric-trucks-may-never-be-practical-because-they-cant-cover-long-distances">Musk said Gates "has no clue" about electric trucks</a> after Gates chose a Porsche Taycan over a Tesla. Gates later jabbed back in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/18/bill-gates-difference-between-elon-musk-and-steve-jobs-as-leaders.html">CNBC interview</a>, saying Musk's "rockets work well" but his "level of outrageous comments" is part of the brand.</p>
<p>So far, Gates hasn't publicly confirmed whether he still holds a short position on Tesla. But Musk seems to think he does — and he hasn't exactly let it go. In a <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1808156026123829599">post on X in July 2024, Musk warned</a>: "Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates."</p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSHP#NYSE">HSHP</a>)</strong> share price is at $6.24, after a <strong>1.42%</strong> decrease. Over the past month, the stock went up by <strong>1.20%</strong>, but over the past year, it actually fell by <strong>24.91%</strong>.

<h3>How Does Himalaya Shipping P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>12.92</strong> in the Marine Transportation industry, Himalaya Shipping Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of <strong>22.61</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Himalaya Shipping Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751983221_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
