This Norwegian Cruise Line Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Monday

Seaport Global analyst Michael Harrison upgrades Innospec (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IOSP#NASDAQ">IOSP</a>) from Neutral to Buy and announces $155 price target.

Price Target

Seaport Global Upgrades Innospec to Buy, Announces $155 Price Target

Innospec's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IOSP#NYSE">IOSP</a>) short percent of float has risen 52.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 458 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.59% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.7 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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>Innospec Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743187524_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Innospec has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Innospec'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>, Innospec's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.74%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.

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>Segment Review</h3>
Performance Coatings&#39; second-quarter revenues were $3,048 million. The segment&#39;s net sales were stable, as improved selling prices were offset by the sale of the non-North American portion of the traffic solutions business and adverse foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $3,101.8 million.
Industrial Coatings generated revenues of $1,746 million, a 4.6% year-over-year decrease. The fall is due to lower selling prices from certain index-based customer contracts and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $1,831.9 million.
<h3>Financials</h3>
The company had $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments as of the end of the quarter. Net debt was $5.2 billion, down $0.4 billion from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
The company&#39;s projected adjusted EPS for the third quarter is in the range of $2.10-$2.20. For the full year, the company expects adjusted EPS in the range of $8.15-$8.30.

<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of PPG have lost 12.1% over the past year compared with 12.8% decline of its industry.

<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 Innospec'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>, Innospec's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.47%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
