<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.

<h3>Comparing First Horizon'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, First Horizon's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.30%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

First Horizon Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHN#NYSE">FHN</a>) today announced that on August 1, 2025 (the "Redemption Date"), it will redeem all outstanding shares of its 6.625% Fixed-to-Floating Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), and all related outstanding depositary shares, each representing a 1/400th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock ("the Series B Depositary Shares") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHN#NYSE">FHN</a>). After the redemptions, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and no Series B Depositary Shares, will remain outstanding.
&nbsp;
The redemption price will be $25.00 per Series B Depository Share, corresponding to $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. Accrued dividends will not be included in either redemption price because the Redemption Date is also a dividend payment date.&nbsp;The regular Series B semi-annual dividend, which was declared in April, will be paid separately in the customary manner on August 1, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 17, 2025.
