<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Western Digital has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Western Digital'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>, Western Digital's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.86%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Mike Tyson's cannabis brand TYSON 2.0 will debut in Jamaica, the brand's holding company, Carma HoldCo Inc, confirmed Friday. In partnership with NUGL Inc's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUGL#OTC">NUGL</a>) Kaya Group, TYSON 2.0 will bring its popular line of infused pre-rolls, vapes, pre-packaged flower and concentrates to Jamaican consumers.
Kaya is one of Jamaica's leading medical marijuana companies. Kaya&#8217;s diverse operations include a licensed cultivation facility, processing facility, 3 retail herb houses and one ganja franchise in Punta Del Este, Uruguay. Kaya was the first medicinal Ganja Herb House in the Caribbean. This partnership marks TYSON 2.0&#8217;s entrance into the Caribbean.
Initially, TYSON products will be available at Kaya Herb House locations in St. Ann, Falmouth and in Kingston, with plans to expand into additional retail outlets across Jamaica.
"Bringing TYSON 2.0 to Jamaica is about more than expansion; it&#8217;s about honoring the island's deep-rooted relationship with cannabis," stated Mike Tyson, co-founder and chief brand officer of TYSON 2.0. "Jamaican consumers can now experience the same high quality and dedication we put into every TYSON 2.0 product. I'm excited to share this journey with them."

Partnering with Kaya Group allows us to merge our premium product lineup with a rich heritage, providing discerning consumers with an unmatched cannabis experience."
Bali Vaswani, CEO of Kaya Group and NUGL, remarked on the partnership's significance: "Our collaboration with TYSON is another defining moment for Jamaica&#8217;s ganja industry. By combining our local expertise in cultivation, processing and our commitment to quality with TYSON 2.0's global reach, we're creating one-of-a-kind ganja experiences. Every herb has a story, and together we're bringing those stories to life, connecting our community to the world."

On Monday, Cassava Sciences Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVA#NASDAQ">SAVA</a>) stock plunged after the company released topline data from the Phase 3 ReThink-ALZ study of simufilam in mild-to-moderate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42160859/cassava-sciences-topline-phase-3-data-did-not-meet-co-primary-endpoints" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease</a>.
The trial did not meet the pre-specified co-primary, secondary, and exploratory biomarker endpoints.
In July, CEO Rick Barry wrote a letter to shareholders and employees, saying that the company is in the final stages of testing simufilam and has significant&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41065699/sec-charges-cassava-sciences-over-manipulated-alzheimers-trial-data-company-and-former-execs-agre" rel="noreferrer noopener">financial and emotional stakes</a>.
The co-primary endpoints were the change in cognition and function from baseline to the end of the double-blind treatment period at week 52, assessed by the ADAS-COG12 and ADCS-ADL scales, comparing simufilam to placebo.
Simufilam continued to demonstrate an overall favorable safety profile.
&#8220;The results are disappointing&#8230;We took careful measures to enroll patients with mild-to-moderate AD. Despite that, the loss of cognition in the placebo group was less pronounced than was previously reported in other placebo-controlled studies in AD&#8230;&#8221; said&nbsp;Rick Barry, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The company said the failed trial results have impacted its second Phase 3 trial,&nbsp;ReFocus-ALZ, and decided to discontinue ReFocus-ALZ. The company will also be discontinuing the Open Label Extension study.
The complete 52-week dataset will be available from the study along with a large portion of 76-week data.
Cassava will continue to review the data and evaluate the next steps. We plan to share the detailed results at a future medical meeting.
Cassava has been in the headlines for fabricating data from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41231890/whats-going-on-with-alzheimers-focused-cassava-sciences-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">simufilam drug trials</a>.
In September, Cassava Sciences&nbsp;agreed to pay over $40 million to resolve SEC charges over misleading statements related to a Phase 2 trial of the company&#8217;s controversial&nbsp;Alzheimer&#8217;s drug, simufilam.
The SEC also&nbsp;charged&nbsp;Hoau-Yan Wang, a consultant and co-developer of the drug, with manipulating trial results.
The SEC&#8217;s investigation found that in&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/21/08/22653801/cassava-sciences-shares-sink-with-alzheimers-drug-mired-in-controversy" rel="noreferrer noopener">September 2020</a>, Cassava disclosed manipulated data from the trial, which falsely suggested dramatic improvements in Alzheimer&#8217;s biomarkers like total tau and phosphorylated tau.
Price Action: SAVA stock is down 84.2% at $4.19 during the premarket session at last check Monday.

EQT Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>) shares are trading higher after the company announced it entered into a definitive deal with funds managed by Blackstone Credit &amp; Insurance (BXCI) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42159491/eqt-announces-3-5-billion-midstream-joint-venture-with-blackstone-credit-insurance" rel="noreferrer noopener">form a new midstream joint venture</a>.
As per the deal, BXCI will provide EQT&nbsp;$3.5 billion of cash consideration in exchange for a non-controlling equity interest in the joint venture.
This values the JV at approximately $8.8 billion, or 12x EBITDA. The deal provides EQT with a substantial equity capital solution at an accretive cost of capital.
EQT will also retain rights to growth projects linked to the contributed assets, including the planned Mountain Valley Pipeline expansion and the MVP Southgate project.
EQT intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce its term loan, revolving credit facility, and redeem or tender senior notes.
Pro-forma for this deal, along with the recent sale of its remaining non-operated assets in northeast Pennsylvania, EQT expects to exit 2024 with approximately $9 billion in net debt.
EQT President and CEO&nbsp;Toby Z. Rice&nbsp;stated, &#8220;This transaction underscores the ultra-high-quality nature of EQT&#8217;s regulated midstream assets, which service one of the strongest power demand growth regions in&nbsp;the United States&nbsp;underpinned by long-term contracts with the region&#8217;s leading utilities.&#8221;
&#8221;Importantly, through this joint venture&nbsp;EQT preserves the benefits of the Equitrans acquisition by retaining the long-term value from synergy capture and growth projects. We look forward to working with Blackstone to optimize the value of these assets and together explore strategic opportunities across its leading portfolio of energy, power and digital infrastructure in the years ahead.&#8221;&nbsp;
EQT Chief Financial Officer&nbsp;Jeremy Knop&nbsp;stated, &#8220;Blackstone is a leader in providing capital solutions to large corporations and we are thrilled to partner with them in this unique transaction, crafting a tailor-made equity financing solution at a price significantly below EQT&#8217;s equity cost of capital while preserving key tax attributes. When we announced the Equitrans acquisition earlier this year, we made an unwavering commitment to debt reduction.&#8221;
&#8221;We have now delivered on that promise, with announced divestitures to date totaling&nbsp;$5.25 billion&nbsp;of projected cash proceeds, above the high-end of our&nbsp;$3 billion-$5 billion&nbsp;asset sale target, and several quarters ahead of schedule.&#8221;
The transaction is subject to customary closing adjustments, required regulatory approvals, and clearances, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSPG#NYSE">RSPG</a>) and First Trust Natural Gas ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCG#NYSE">FCG</a>).
