<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.

Peering Into CACI International's Recent Short Interest

The year of milestones, 2024, has seen an unperturbed rise in the current bull market, which is nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">26 months</a> old. It is higher by more than 70% from the mid-October 2022 lows. As we wrap up the year with the possibility of a &#8216;Santa Rally,&#8217; let&#8217;s recap 2024&#8217;s landmark junctures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major U.S. Benchmarks Scale Fresh Records</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 Index has made 57 new all-time highs this year, hitting the last one on Dec. 6, 2024. Also, &#8220;2024 would go down as the best election year return ever,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research in a note.
&#8220;Going back 50 years, we found five other bull markets that had lasted at least this long and the shortest any of them lasted was five total years. Think of it like a cruise ship — once it gets moving, it can be quite hard to stop,&#8221; added Detrick
While the S&amp;P 500 index was up 25.96% on a year-to-date basis as of Dec. 23 close, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose by 25.82% in the same period.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index, on the other hand, hit a record eight 1,000-point milestones this year. It started the year around the 37,000 level and breached the 45,000 level at the beginning of December. It took only seven trading days for the index to go from 44,000 to 45,000, the second fastest 1,000-point milestone ever. Following that the index also saw one of its longest 10-day losing streak, the first ever since 1974.
Dow was up 13.77% year-to-date as of the Dec. 23 close, whereas the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) gained 13.74% in the same period.
The Nasdaq 100 index which includes all the &#8216;magnificent seven&#8217; stocks, unlike Dow, rose 29.98% year-to-date as Dec. 23 close. The ETF tracking the index, Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) rose by 33.85% in the same period. Whereas, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose by 29.88% in 2024.
The smallcap index Russell 2000 was up 11.16% over the year, while iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) was up 10.97% in the same period as of the Dec. 23 close.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Market Trumps The World</h3>
Among the developed economies, the S&amp;P 500 remains the best index with a 25.96% gain on a year-to-date basis, outperforming all the other developed market indices.
While the <a href="https://x.com/RyanDetrick/status/1871317802306707882">first </a>year of a new president&#8217;s term has usually been strong since 1897, the returns during year one of a second term haven&#8217;t been very good overall, said Detrick.

Among the defensive sectors, utilities emerged as a winner, whereas energy was an underperformer. Consumer staples, energy, and utilities take up 5.7%, 3.4%, and 2.5% weight, respectively in the S&amp;P 500 index.
As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump's deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. However, a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.

The Dollar index was up 6.72% year-to-date with a 52-week range of 100.1570 to 108.5410 per unit. If the Greenback can hold on to these gains, the currency would leave behind the second-best year since 2015.
The UDS&#8217;s demand has been rising due to the &#8220;Uncertainties arising from expected Trump's policies and hawkish comments from the Fed towards rate cycle,&#8221; said Kunal Sodhani, vice president of the global trading center at Shinhan Bank.
According to Franklin Templeton, &#8220;The Fed easing cycle will be a dominant factor for the USD. The two main comparisons we draw against the Fed cyclically, interest-rate-wise, are emerging markets, and Japan.&#8221;
WisdomTree Bloomberg US Dollar Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USDU#NYSE">USDU</a>) was up 13.24% on a year-to-date basis, as of Dec. 23 close, where as Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) advanced by 7.21% in the same period.

Insights Into Amazon.com's Performance Versus Peers In Broadline Retail Sector

Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur, has sparked a debate about the cost of medical education in the United States. Cuban has proposed an ambitious idea: free medical school for all students. According to him, it's not just possible but could result in long-term benefits for students and the entire health care system.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Did Cuban Say?</h2>

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
The conversation started in May when Dr. Anish Koka posted a video in which Vivek Ramaswamy talked about a perception that medicine no longer attracts the "best and brightest." In a <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1796234834290872638">tweet</a>, Cuban challenged traditional notions about what it takes to succeed in the medical field. He proposed that the government could fund free medical education for under $2.5 billion a year. Cuban argues that math is straightforward, with fewer than 25,000 medical students in the U.S. and that the costs per student are generally under $100,000 annually.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Free Medical School?</h2>
Mark Cuban thinks the high cost of medical school keeps many people from applying. If medical school were free, more people from different backgrounds could become doctors and the overall quality of the field would improve. This would also help competent people who can't afford medical school or don't want to take on huge loans.

Cuban also sees opportunities for private sector involvement. Since technology like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/health-care/24/04/38517052/3-trends-in-healthcare-guided-by-ai-and-the-companies-behind-the-innovation">AI is changing health care</a>, companies could pay for students' education if they agree to work for them after graduating. Cuban argues that this approach is more cost-effective than traditional recruitment and hiring practices.
Making medical school free could benefit everyone. More doctors would make getting medical care easier and reduce wait times. People could catch and treat illnesses sooner, improving overall health and making life better for many Americans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Cost-Saving Move?</h2>
While $2.5 billion annually seems steep, Cuban frames this as an investment rather than an expense. By making medical education accessible, the health care system could attract top talent, reduce financial stress for aspiring doctors and deliver better societal outcomes. The long-term benefits, Cuban suggests, would outweigh the initial cost.

His idea raises some important questions about health care. Could the government or private companies make free medical school happen? Even though there are challenges, his plan offers a new way of thinking about solving big problems in health care.
And lastly, Cuban's idea isn't just hypothetical. In February, Ruth Gottesman, the widow of Warren Buffett's colleague David Gottesman, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37348692/ruth-gottesman-donates-1b-to-medical-school-how-warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-factor-into-this-i">donated $1 billion</a> to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

 </style>By conducting a comprehensive analysis of NVIDIA, the following trends become evident: 
<ul>
<li>
With a Price to Earnings ratio of 55.14, which is 0.95x less than the industry average, the stock shows potential for growth at a reasonable price, making it an interesting consideration for market participants.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 51.91, which is 7.66x the industry average, NVIDIA might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The stock's relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 30.66, surpassing the industry average by 3.07x, may indicate an aspect of overvaluation in terms of sales performance.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 31.13% that is 27.05% above the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.86 Billion is 0.68x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The company has lower gross profit of $26.16 Billion, which indicates 0.96x below the industry average. This potentially indicates lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 93.61% exceeds the industry average of 8.01%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735138811_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a key indicator of a company's financial health and its reliance on debt financing.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By analyzing NVIDIA in relation to its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights can be derived:
<ul>
<li>
NVIDIA is in a relatively stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers, as evidenced by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16.
</li>
<li>
This implies that the company relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value and sales. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and high revenue growth suggest that NVIDIA is performing well in terms of profitability and growth compared to its industry peers.

In the current market session, Greenbrier Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBX#NYSE">GBX</a>) share price is at $62.78, after a 1.37% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 7.81%, but in the past year, spiked by 40.26%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735137909_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Greenbrier Companies P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Greenbrier Companies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 14.71 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735137909_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Starbucks 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

One of the annual traditions of Christmas for most families is the giving and receiving of gifts. While popular gift items include toys, clothes, gift cards, and money, another option is to give a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gift of cryptocurrency.</a>
Here&#8217;s a look back at how much a gift of cryptocurrency for Christmas in 2023 would be worth today.
What Happened: Just<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38778908/if-you-bought-your-mom-100-in-bitcoin-dogecoin-and-ethereum-last-mothers-day-heres-how-muc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> like Mother&#8217;s Day</a>, Christmas is a holiday that could see the selection of gifts for loved ones in your family.
Giving cryptocurrency as a gift at Christmas 2023 may have been a more popular option than in 2022. The 2022 year saw several cryptocurrency platforms go bankrupt and all the major cryptocurrencies trade down on the year.
In 2023, cryptocurrencies turned around with many of the largest cryptos outperforming the top stocks and overall broad stock market.
Fast forward to 2024 and the cryptocurrency market has been surging with several of the largest cryptos hitting new all-time highs after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex">the 2024 election</a>. A new White House administration has created optimism for investors and crypto advocates. 
Here&#8217;s a look back at how much three major cryptocurrencies given as gifts for Christmas 2023 would be worth today.

Investing $100 in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum: A popular gift amount may have been giving $100 in cryptocurrency to a loved one on Christmas Day 2023. Here&#8217;s a look at how much one could have bought of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) based on the intraday high on Dec. 25, 2023.
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin: 0.0023 BTC</li>
<li> Dogecoin: 1,050.78 DOGE</li>
<li> Ethereum: 0.0434 ETH</li>
</ul>
Investing $100 in each cryptocurrency last Christmas would be worth the following based on prices at the time of writing:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin: $225.46, +125.5%</li>
<li> Dogecoin: $349.17, +249.2%</li>
<li> Ethereum: $150.68, +50.9%</li>
</ul>
A $300 gift consisting of the three cryptocurrencies would be worth $725.32 today, an increase of 141.8%.
This return from Christmas 2023 to Christmas 2024 trumps the return of the three cryptocurrencies from Christmas 2022 to Christmas 2023 when the same $300 would have turned into $559.61 in one year, an increase of 86.5%.
Family members would likely welcome the return of any of these three cryptocurrencies over the last year.
For comparison, a $300 investment last Christmas in the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust, which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, would be worth $379.48 today. This represents a return of 26.5%.
The holidays would likely be happier for loved ones who got cryptocurrency as a gift last year than many clothes, gift cards, cash, or stocks.
Based on Benzinga's calculations for the hypothetical investments in Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ethereum over the last two Christmases would have turned $300 in 2022 and $300 in 2023 into $2,015.30 total. This represents a gain of 235.9% on the $600 investment over the last two Christmases.

Automotive parts specialist Carbon Revolution (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/crev-stock-quote/">CREV</a>) &ndash; which focuses on manufacturing carbon fiber (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cf-stock-quote/">CF</a>) wheels for vehicle manufacturers &ndash; saw its shares pop dramatically higher on Friday. Last night, the company revealed that it will supply the CF wheels available on the upcoming (and just revealed) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Chevrolet is a General Motors (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gm-stock-quote/">GM</a>) brand and the credibility boost lifted CREV stock.



Carbon&rsquo;s CF wheels &ndash; designed as a one-piece framework &ndash; carries the advantage of being significantly lighter than the aluminum-wheel option. Per the accompanying <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/carbon-revolution-supplies-carbon-fiber-011000695.html">press release</a>, the CF wheels will reduce the Corvette ZR1&rsquo;s rotating, unsprung mass by 42.8 pounds across the vehicle. While the underlying aesthetic appeal will likely be important, it may be the performance improvement that inspires prospective buyers.



After all, the Corvette isn&rsquo;t cheap. According to Kelley Blue Book, the base model Corvette carries an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/corvette/">MSRP of just under $70,000</a>. The current top-end model &ndash; the Z06 &ndash; commands an MSRP of $111,795. However, Car and Driver estimates that the upcoming ZR1 <a href="https://www.autonationdrive.com/blog/2019/october/15/essential-auto-101-what-is-a-halo-car.htm">halo car</a> (essentially the flagship that gets consumers excited about the underlying brand) will carry a price tag <a href="https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/corvette-zr1">between $180,000 to $205,000</a>.



In other words, a consumer plunking that amount of cash for a vehicle will likely want the absolute best in performance: that&rsquo;s probably why CREV stock skyrocketed today.



<h2>CREV Stock Linked to a Groundbreaking Performance Vehicle</h2>



Per the press release, Carbon CEO Jake Dingle noted that the new ZR1 will be the third Corvette that features the company&rsquo;s CF wheels. &ldquo;Our team harnessed its extensive engineering and manufacturing experience to come up with a wheel befitting of the highest-performance Corvette we&rsquo;ve ever seen,&rdquo; the head executive remarked.



Dingle isn&rsquo;t kidding. According to MotorTrend, the Z06 rockets to 60 miles per hour (mph) from standstill in <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2023-chevrolet-corvette-z06-convertible-0-60-quarter-mile-time/">just 2.6 seconds</a>. It eclipses the quarter mile in a blistering 10.6 seconds with a trap speed of 131.6 mph. That&rsquo;s supercar performance coming out of an engine that generates 670 horsepower.



On the other hand, Chevrolet has yet to release its figures for 0-60 times for the ZR1. But what has enthusiasts excited about the upcoming automotive juggernaut is that it generates 1,064 horsepower. To truly get the most out of this vehicle, prospective buyers will likely opt for the CF wheels. This dynamic has speculators bidding up CREV stock.



To be fair, the company is a risky proposition. Shortly following its initial public offering, CREV stock screamed higher to an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CREV/history/">intraday-record high of $197.99</a>. Still, the equity quickly fell back toward a more terrestrial range.



Nevertheless, with the announcement of the partnership with GM&rsquo;s high-performance halo car, investors may have Carbon Revolution on their watch list.
