<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<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 Carpenter Tech'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>, Carpenter Tech's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.43%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Carpenter Tech Q1 2025 Adj. EPS $1.73 Beats $1.59 Estimate, Sales $717.600M Miss $742.960M Estimate

From a technical perspective, Carpenter Technology (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crs#NYSE">CRS</a>) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. CRS recently overtook the 20-day moving average, and this suggests a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock&#39;s price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
Like other SMAs, if a stock&#39;s price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
<img alt="Moving Average Chart for CRS" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/yseop/539/CRS_SMA20.jpeg" style="height:auto; width:100%" title="" />
Over the past four weeks, CRS has gained 8.7%. The company is currently ranked a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), another strong indication the stock could move even higher.
Once investors consider CRS&#39;s positive earnings estimate revisions, the bullish case only solidifies. No earnings estimate has been lowered in the past two months, compared to 2 raised estimates, for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has increased as well.
With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on CRS for more gains in the near future.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
Examining transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<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.

Fission Uranium (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fcuuf#OTC">FCUUF</a>) has completed the hearing before the Supreme Court of British Columbia regarding the approval of the final order for its acquisition by Paladin Energy Limited. The hearing began before the Court on Sept. 13, 2024, and ended on Sept. 26. Its decision on the final order is expected in the coming weeks.
Fission&#39;s acquisition by Paladin Energy, however, remains opposed by CGN Mining Company Limited (&quot;CGN&quot;), which holds an 11.26% stake in Fission. CGN is a subsidiary of China General Nuclear Power Corp.
Fission&#39;s shareholders voted in favor of the acquisition at the special meeting held on Sept. 9, 2024. The closure of the acquisition currently remains subject to receipt of the final order and clearance under the Investment Canada Act, as well as other customary conditions.
<h2>Fission Uranium-Paladin Energy Merger Overview</h2>
Fission Uranium inked the deal with the Australian miner, Paladin Energy , in June 2024. Per the agreement, Paladin Energy would acquire FCUUF&#39;s outstanding shares for an implied total equity value of C$1.14 billion ($0.846 billion).
The acquisition, if successful, will create a company with a pro forma market capitalization of $3.5 billion. It will be placed among the largest pure-play global uranium companies with a combined mineral resource of 544 million pounds of uranium and ore reserves of 157 million. It will have a solid portfolio of exploration, development and production assets, and a substantially increased international capital markets exposure.
Fission Uranium&#39;s shareholders will receive 0.1076 fully paid shares of Paladin Energy for each share held in FCUUF. On completion, existing Paladin Energy and Fission Uranium shareholders will own around 76% and 24% of the combined entity, respectively.
Paladin Energy has applied for the listing of its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange concurrent with the completion of the transaction. Consequently, Fission Uranium shareholders will receive TSX-listed Paladin Energy shares.
<h2>FCUUF Buyout to Strengthen Paladin Energy&#39;s Uranium Portfolio</h2>
Paladin Energy is an independent uranium producer with 75% ownership of the world-class long-life Langer Heinrich Mine located in Namibia. It also owns a portfolio of uranium exploration and development assets in Canada and Australia.&nbsp; Through its Langer Heinrich Mine, it delivers uranium to major nuclear utilities across the world. It has a 17-year estimated mine life and a nameplate annual capacity of 6 million pounds of uranium.
The acquisition of Fission Uranium will make Paladin Energy the 100% owner of the Patterson Lake South uranium property. It is a proposed high-grade uranium mine and mill in Canada&#39;s Athabasca Basin region. The feasibility study for the property projects a 10-year mine life with an annual production of 9.1 million pounds of uranium.
This move will help Paladin Energy capitalize on the growing demand for uranium. Several factors are driving this demand, such as the need for more electricity generation and the global push to decarbonize electrical grids, among others.
Over the past few years, the global uranium market has undergone a shift from an inventory-driven to a production-driven market.&nbsp; Underinvestment in uranium mining operations over the past decade has been the reason for a structural deficit between global production and uranium requirements.&nbsp; In 2024 and 2025, the gap between production and demand is projected to be more than 66 million pounds of uranium. This gap is expected to reach more than 400 million pounds by 2034. Uranium prices will be supported by robust demand and tight supply.
<h2>Fission Uranium Stock&#39;s Price Performance</h2>
Shares of Fission Uranium have gained 11.1% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 37.7% growth.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have $600 Today

Vice President Kamala Harris has vowed to establish a national stockpile of critical minerals, citing their importance for economic and national security. This initiative forms part of her broader $100 billion industrial policy proposal, unveiled Wednesday, which includes various measures to strengthen the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-economy" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. economy</a>.
Harris's &#8220;America Forward&#8221; agenda aims to reduce the U.S. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38114381/critical-minerals-race-heats-up-us-eu-challenge-chinas-dominance" rel="noreferrer noopener">reliance on foreign sources</a>, particularly China, for these crucial resources. The strategy proposes new incentives, including tax credits, and potentially invoking the Defense Production Act to boost domestic processing capabilities.
As reported by Bloomberg, Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign stated that enhanced domestic production and other sustainable initiatives would strengthen critical mineral supply chains with allies and partners. This includes encouraging investments that boost the production of these resources in the U.S. and among allied countries.
Critical minerals, including lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, are essential for modern technology and defense applications. These materials are indispensable for producing electric vehicle batteries, semiconductors, and military equipment. China currently dominates the global processing of many minerals, posing a strategic vulnerability for the U.S. As demand for clean energy and advanced technology grows, securing a steady supply of these minerals has become a top priority.
President Biden's administration has already <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/03/37914506/bidens-475m-for-mining-aims-to-power-communities-hit-hardest-by-our-evolving-energy-landscape" rel="noreferrer noopener">made significant strides</a> in addressing this issue. Through initiatives like Executive Order 14017, Biden ordered a comprehensive review of critical mineral supply chains, leading to billions in investments to strengthen domestic capabilities. Since Biden took office, more than $120 billion has been committed to building battery and critical mineral supply chains, creating over 250,000 energy jobs, and ensuring future demand for essential materials like lithium and cobalt is met.
Despite these efforts, the U.S. mining sector still needs to overcome significant challenges. Domestic mining projects take <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870803/us-mine-development-delays-among-worlds-longest-second-only-to-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly 29 years </a>to move from discovery to production, according to a study from S&amp;P Global published in July.
This timeline is significantly longer than in countries like Canada and Australia, where litigation risks and regulatory hurdles are much lower. These factors have slowed progress and discouraged private-sector investment in U.S. mining ventures.
Still, the push to increase domestic production of critical minerals has gained bipartisan support, as Republicans and Democrats recognize its strategic importance.
Thus, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, the U.S. will likely continue prioritizing critical mineral production, securing the nation's needs for the energy transition.

Harris Vows To Push 'America Forward,' Stockpile Critical Minerals

Cabot Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cbt#NYSE">CBT</a>) recently announced that the U.S. Department of Energy&#39;s (&quot;DOE&quot;) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains has selected it for an award negotiation for up to $50 million. This award, which is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will help Cabot develop a new manufacturing facility in the United States to make battery-grade carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and conductive additive dispersions on a commercial scale.
These minerals are crucial to the domestic lithium-ion battery supply chain for electric cars (EVs) and the electrical grid, reducing reliance on imports. The DOE funding will cover approximately 30% of the project&#39;s entire anticipated investment of $181 million. Cabot intends to revitalize, retrofit and restore a former automotive site in Wayne County, MI, to become the United States&#39; first production facility for battery-grade CNTs and conductive additive dispersions.
Cabot has teamed up with the North American Building Trades Union, the International Chemical Workers Union Council and the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council to support this project, which is expected to generate hundreds of new construction and full-time manufacturing jobs. This new manufacturing operation will strengthen the domestic supply chain for crucial battery ingredients, lowering dependency on foreign imports.
This investment emphasizes Cabot&#39;s role as a key participant in the energy transition, offering breakthrough material solutions not only in battery technologies but also throughout the energy storage and management ecosystem. Cabot&#39;s contributions go beyond conductive additives, including aerogels for improved thermal management, metal oxides for cathode durability and novel carbons for fuel cell optimization, all of which are critical for the next generation of sustainable energy solutions.
Shares of Cabot have gained 62% in the past year against a 1.4% decline of the industry.

CBT anticipates fiscal 2024 adjusted earnings per share of $7.00 to $7.10. This range represents a 30 cents increase at the midpoint, driven by the company&#39;s expectations for improved results in the Performance Chemicals segment due to higher demand and a more favorable product mix compared to the first half of the year, as well as continued strong results in the Reinforcement Materials unit.

Lyondellbasell Industries N.V. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyb#NYSE">LYB</a>) and Dacia recently partnered on the external design of the All-New Dacia Duster. The vehicle, known for its rugged elegance, now includes the durable &quot;Starkle&quot; material, owing to LYB&#39;s CirculenRecover portfolio. These innovative CirculenRecover polypropylene (PP) compounds utilize recycled materials and add a distinctive look to the All-New Duster model.
The development of CirculenRecover polymers demonstrates LYB&#39;s constant dedication to creating solutions for everyday sustainable living. The innovative material not only improves the appearance of vehicles but also aligns with LYB customers&#39; sustainability objectives.
The CirculenRecover polymer, a PP compound containing 20% recycled PP obtained through mechanical recycling, is created from post-industrial waste removed from the manufacturing process of items such as flexible packaging. Compared to virgin materials, this reduces CO2 emissions, demonstrating Dacia&#39;s commitment to sustainability. It is included in Dacia&#39;s &quot;Starkle&quot; material, which is utilized in exterior pieces like bumpers, trims and body side moldings on the All-New Duster model. The polymers not only function well on automobile exteriors but also provide a mold-in-color special effect with particles that showcase the usage of recycled content. This single-material solution removes additional steps, improves design efficiency and has the potential to increase part recyclability.
The All-New Dacia Duster showcases whether sustainability and modern design can coexist. LYB and Dacia are collaborating to set a new benchmark for automotive design and inspire the industry to embrace a more sustainable future.
Shares of LyondellBasell have lost 4% over the past year compared with a 4.3% decline of its industry.

For the third quarter, LyondellBasell expects margins to gain from the lower costs of natural gas and natural gas liquids used in its North American and Middle Eastern production against higher oil-based expenses in most other locations. With the ongoing summer driving season, oxyfuel margins are projected to stay higher than historical levels because of high octane premiums.&nbsp;
LYB intends to operate its assets in line with market demand in the third quarter, with average operating rates of 85% for North American olefins and polyolefins (O&amp;P) assets, 80% for European O&amp;P assets and 75% for Intermediates &amp; Derivatives.

Peering Into Carpenter Tech's Recent Short Interest

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stld#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) has issued earnings guidance for the third quarter of 2024 in the $1.94-$1.98 per share range. This represents a decline from the company&#39;s second-quarter 2024 earnings of $2.72 per share and its third-quarter 2023 earnings of $3.47.
STLD&#39;s steel operations profitability is expected to be significantly lower than&nbsp; the second quarter due to reduced average realized pricing in the flat rolled operations. Approximately 80% of this business is contract-based, linked to lagging pricing indices. However, flat rolled steel prices have stabilized and are showing improvement, with underlying demand remaining consistent.
The metals recycling division&#39;s earnings for the third quarter of 2024 are anticipated to be in line with second-quarter results, as steady volumes offset the impact of slightly lower realized pricing.

Steel Dynamics, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Steel Dynamics, Inc. Quote
In the steel fabrication segment, earnings are forecasted to be moderately lower than the previous quarter due to a slight dip in average realized pricing. However, the order backlog remains steady and extends into the first quarter of 2025, with pricing at attractive levels. Current order activity is stable and demand is expected to grow in 2025, fueled by an expected decline in interest rates, the U.S. infrastructure program and increasing onshoring efforts. This growth is likely to benefit not only steel joist and deck products but also flat rolled and long product steels.

Demonstrating continued confidence in the company&#39;s earnings outlook and cash flow, Steel Dynamics repurchased $307 million worth of its common stock through Sept. 11, 2024.
Shares of Steel Dynamics have gained 13.1% in the past year against a 14.3% decline in its industry.
