Dollar Gen's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.55 million shares sold short, which is 3.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.69 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/">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.

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) showcased a groundbreaking generative AI <a target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/fugatto-gen-ai-sound-model/" rel="noreferrer noopener">model </a>named Fugatto. This model is designed as a versatile tool for creating and modifying sounds using text and audio prompts. Fugatto can generate and transform a mix of music, voices, and soundscapes, offering unprecedented capabilities to musicians, developers, and content creators.

Fugatto, short for Foundational Generative Audio Transformer Opus 1, supports multiple tasks, such as generating new music, altering accents or emotions in voices, and crafting entirely novel soundscapes. These features mark a significant leap in audio AI innovation.
Fugatto empowers users to create audio that combines various instructions and prompts. For example, it can produce a trumpet sound mimicking a barking dog or generate a voice with a specific accent and tone.
Beyond music, Fugatto opens possibilities for advertising, education, and gaming. Advertisers can adjust campaign voiceovers for regional audiences, while educators can personalize content with voices familiar to learners. Game developers can modify audio assets or generate them dynamically based on gameplay.
Fugatto, powered by a 2.5-billion-parameter generative transformer, was trained on Nvidia DGX systems with 32 H100 Tensor Core GPUs. Its development involved a diverse team spanning several countries, which enhanced its multilingual and multi-accent capabilities. The model&#8217;s training relied on millions of audio samples, carefully curated to enable complex and diverse tasks.
Fugatto&#8217;s debut signifies a milestone in generative AI, promising to reshape how professionals interact with sound.
The model enables users to combine attributes like accent, tone, and emotion into one cohesive sound. For instance, it can create a dynamic soundscape transitioning from a thunderstorm to a tranquil dawn.

Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>), a peer-to-peer digital currency designed to offer faster and cheaper transactions compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), has surged 40.7% to $520.08 over the past month, buoyed by historic levels of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42165734/bitcoin-etfs-registered-record-312-billion-net-inflows-last-week">institutional investment</a> in cryptocurrency as Bitcoin nears the $100,000 level.
What To Know: According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products saw a record-breaking $3.13 billion in net inflows last week, driven primarily by Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which alone accounted for $3.12 billion. Year-to-date inflows now stand at $37 billion, signaling growing confidence in cryptocurrencies as a mainstream asset class.
While Bitcoin dominated these inflows with $3 billion, altcoins like Bitcoin Cash have seen renewed interest. BCH, which emerged from a 2017 Bitcoin hard fork, aims to enhance transaction speed and scalability. It benefits from its association with Bitcoin while providing utility as a decentralized payment network, gaining traction as blockchain adoption grows.
Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products saw $10 million in inflows, reflecting mixed market sentiment as Bitcoin prices hover near all-time highs.
As institutional investments flood the space, Bitcoin Cash has capitalized on broader market enthusiasm, positioning itself as one of the favored altcoins in the digital currency ecosystem.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) reportedly plans to enter the mobile device market with new accelerated processing unit (APU) chips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd">designed for smartphones. </a>

AMD previously collaborated with Samsung on the Exynos 2200 processor, which featured a GPU based on AMD&#8217;s RDNA 2 architecture. However, this earlier partnership focused on graphic enhancements rather than central processor development.
AMD&#8217;s current MI300 series processors, known for their application in AI servers, could lay the groundwork for these upcoming mobile APUs. Industry insiders suggest that Samsung integrate these APUs into its premium devices, which rely heavily on Taiwan Semiconductor-manufactured components, such as Qualcomm Inc processors in the Galaxy S series.
According to Taiwan Semiconductor, its 3nm technology, including N3, N3E, and N3P nodes, has drawn significant interest from major clients like AMD, Apple Inc, and MediaTek. The demand for these advanced chips is so high that Taiwan Semiconductor has tripled its production capacity compared to last year. However, it still needs to work on meeting the overwhelming number of orders.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s ongoing development of its 3nm family will further address emerging needs in AI, mobile devices, and automotive computing.
AMD posted third-quarter revenue of $6.8 billion, surpassing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst expectations of $6.71 billion</a>. Revenue grew 18%, driven by a 122% increase in Data Center revenue, which reached $3.5 billion. Client segment revenue rose 29% to $1.9 billion. However, Gaming revenue dropped 69% to $462 million, while Embedded revenue decreased 25% to $927 million.
For the fourth quarter, AMD projects revenue of $7.5 billion, plus or minus $300 million, reflecting 22% growth at the midpoint.
Goldman Sachs analyst&nbsp;Toshiya Hari <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41431993/amd-to-benefit-from-ai-competitive-arms-race-goldman-sachs" rel="noreferrer noopener">credited AMD&#8217;s growth</a> to increasing capital investment in AI infrastructure, driven by enterprises in an &#8220;AI arms race.&#8221; AMD&#8217;s robust product pipeline, including competitive GPUs and the integration of ZT Systems, positions the company for accelerated growth.
Rebounding demand for server CPUs and market share gains in enterprise-targeted SKUs will likely boost revenue and margins.
Price Actions: AMD stock is up 2.4% at $141.75 at the last check on Monday. TSM is down 2.6%.

Following a strong second-quarter performance, Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) will deliver insights into its third-quarter results Tuesday after-hours. In the second quarter, the company outperformed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40588492/nordstrom-stock-rallies-on-strong-q2-earnings-details">earnings expectations with EPS of $0.96</a>, a 35.21% beat over the consensus estimate of $0.71, driven by strategic pricing and operational efficiencies. 
What Happened: Although quarterly sales of $3.894 billion narrowly missed estimates, they represented a 3.23% year-over-year increase, with digital sales up 6.2% and notable growth in Nordstrom Rack's net sales (+8.8%).
The second quarter gross profit margin of 36.6%—a 155 basis point improvement—showcased Nordstrom's focus on full-price sales and leveraging higher volumes. However, the 8.3% increase in ending inventory relative to sales growth warrants attention as the company balances stock management in a dynamic retail landscape.

For the third quarter, analysts will likely focus on Nordstrom's ability to sustain growth across both banners, particularly Nordstrom Rack, which demonstrated robust performance in the second quarter. 
Comparable sales, which increased 1.9% in the prior quarter, could signal continued consumer resilience amid economic pressures. Margins and inventory levels will remain key indicators of operational efficiency.
Nordstrom's FY guidance of $1.75–$2.05 per share suggests confidence in its growth trajectory. With strategic momentum and a focus on profitability, third quarter results will be a critical checkpoint as the company progresses toward its 2024 objectives.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is JWN A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JWN">Nordstrom</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JWN">Nordstrom</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, JWN has a 52-week high of $24.93 and a 52-week low of $14.65.

Walmart&#8217;s CFO, John David Rainey, recently said that if President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs take effect, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42085839/us-retail-giant-walmarts-growth-is-fueled-by-75-of-its-customers-earning-in-six-figures-ceo-doug-mcmillon-explains">Walmart</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) will need to raise prices on certain items.
Speaking with CNBC, Rainey explained, "We never want to raise prices. Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers."&nbsp;

</ul>
These proposed tariffs include a 10-20% tax on all imports and could go as high as 60-100% on products from China. Retailers like Walmart, AutoZone, Lowe's and others are already speaking out about how these potential changes could make everyday goods more expensive for customers.
The majority of goods Walmart sells are not at risk of tariffs, as about two-thirds of the items sold by Walmart are made, grown or assembled in the U.S. However, tariffs may have a major effect on the remaining one-third of imported goods. In recent years, Walmart has been expanding its supply chain by sourcing from other countries to lessen its reliance on China.
Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison also expressed concern, saying they're talking to suppliers to understand how the tariffs might affect prices.

AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) CEO Philip Daniele, for example, has recently stated that if tariffs are imposed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">they will pass those costs onto the consumers</a>. Because AutoZone anticipates the impact on their margins, they even plan to hike prices before the tariffs go into effect. Similarly, Steve Madden intends to shift some of its production to Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico to lessen its dependency on Chinese production, though price increases are still possible.

The National Retail Federation also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">predicted price rises for commonplace goods</a> like apparel, shoes and furniture, warning that these tariffs essentially tax the American people. They anticipate that a $100 coat may increase by up to $21, while a $90 pair of sneakers might cost between $106 and $116.
