10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Zohran Mamdani, fresh off a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162859/trump-threatens-to-cut-federal-funding-for-nyc-if-zohran-mamdani-doesnt-do-the-right-thing-as-future-mayor-if-he-does-get-in-im-going-to-be-president">primary win</a> and favored to become New York's next mayor, is stirring up debate with a bold pitch: open five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough.
The plan is designed to bring affordable, fresh food to areas with limited access to supermarkets.&nbsp; But some critics say it sounds more like a political stunt than a solid solution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Fix For Food Deserts Or A Government Overreach?</h2>
In many low-income New York neighborhoods, food insecurity affects more than 30% of residents, <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/data/emergency-food-in-nyc/">according</a> to the City Council. Mamdani says the $60 million pilot would let the city buy and sell at wholesale prices, avoid rent and property tax, and partner with neighborhoods on stocking decisions. But he hasn't shared how the stores would be built or operated, or whether workers would be on the city payroll.

</ul>
Responding to a recent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDiscussion/comments/1lm7h6m/what_do_you_think_of_the_idea_of_stateowned/">post</a> on Reddit that asked: &#8220;What do you think of the idea of state-owned grocery stores?&#8221; supporters see it as a way to step in where the private sector won't. &#8220;If private enterprise isn&#8217;t serving the need, this is called a &#8216;market failure,'&#8221; one commenter wrote. &#8220;Market failure conditions are the exact conditions under which government is best entering a market.&#8221;
Others compared it to existing public services. &#8220;Nobody blinks twice at the [Department of Defense, Social Security Administration, or United States Postal Service] not turning a profit because they provide a needed service,&#8221; another person said. &#8220;Government entities exist to provide services to people who need it, even if it&#8217;s at a net loss.&#8221;
Proponents also pointed to the military commissary system as proof that government-run grocery stores can work. &#8220;They are significantly cheaper than regular grocery stores,&#8221; one commenter noted, adding that they charge &#8220;the cost of an item plus 5%.&#8221;
Still, many remain skeptical.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critics Warn About Efficiency And Costs</h2>
Detractors argue that grocery stores are already a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45556328/jeff-bezos-shrugged-off-dot-com-hype-in-1999-betting-amazons-future-on-customer-obsession-internet-shminternet-that-doesnt-matter-he-said-theres-never-any-conflict-between-customers-and-shareholders-interests-and-walmart-should-say-the-same">razor-thin margin</a> business. &#8220;There is no way this is going to end well for taxpayers.&#8221; However, the counterargument by someone was that &#8220;Having healthy food be more accessible to poor people is a good use of my tax money. Better than most things it currently pays for.&#8221;
Others questioned the premise that the government could run stores better than private companies. &#8220;Labor is a huge cost of business&#8230; facilities costs don&#8217;t go away just because you&#8217;re &#8216;the government,'&#8221; one commenter pointed out.
Some warned the plan could backfire by hurting existing small grocers. &#8220;Wouldn't that have a tendency to push private stores out of business over time, since they couldn't compete with a government-subsidized store?&#8221; one person asked.
The debate also touched on whether food deserts in the city are truly a pressing issue. &#8220;Are there food deserts in NYC? Isn't everything a public transit stop away?&#8221; one commenter asked. But another replied, &#8220;Most of the Bronx, especially the eastern area, is considered a food desert. Upper Brooklyn is also considered a food desert.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trying Something New Or Wasting Taxpayer Money?</h2>
Some people struck a middle ground, suggesting the idea is worth testing. &#8220;Let NYC try this one. Let Kansas City try another. Let Chicago or Oklahoma City try a third option. See what works best,&#8221; one Reddit user wrote.
But not everyone bought into the optimism. &#8220;This whole idea is based on an ideological blind spot that maximizing profits inherently leads to bad results,&#8221; a commenter argued. &#8220;As long as there&#8217;s fair competition, seeking to maximize profits leads to good outcomes.&#8221;
In the end, Mamdani&#8217;s proposal has stirred passionate debate over the role of government, the realities of grocery economics, and what it really takes to fix access to food. Whether it&#8217;s a step forward or a political sideshow, many agree: it&#8217;s at least worth the conversation.

Optics Over Results? New York's Zohran Mamdani Proposed Government-Owned Grocery Stores, But What Do People Really Think About Them

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): AI's Unstoppable Beast</h2>
Nvidia remains the greed poster child, courtesy the tech world&#8217;s promising insatiable AI chip demand. The company has maintained its AI dominance and continues to be a top pick for growth-oriented investors, specially those looking to profit from a greed-oriented market.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="629" height="484" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04071809/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.19-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-973111" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04071809/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.19-PM.png 629w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04071809/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.19-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></a></figure>

The stock trades comfortably above all moving averages, and has made a Golden Cross recently, indicating the rally still has room. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 6.56 continues to trend bullish while the RSI (relative strength index) flirts with the overbought territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>): Data's Darling</h2>
Palantir has been riding the data and AI wave too, with its stock roaring over 390% in the past year, 78%+ YTD. Meanwhile, Wall Street has been touting its AI-driven government and commercial contracts. Recent <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44305045/archer-taps-palantirs-ai-to-supercharge-electric-aircraft-production-and-flight-tech">partnerships</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46080274/palantir-just-boarded-a-flying-startup-and-this-nano-cap-stock-just-took-off">investments</a> also indicate that Palantir has been foraying beyond defense and into aviation.

The stock's been treading north, broadly, with occasional dips offering buying opportunities to Palantir bulls.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Robotaxi Rocket Fuel</h2>
Tesla is electric with its Robotaxi becoming the talk of the town. Recently, the stock&#8217;s hit a few speed bumps, akin to its latest tech launch. While Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi rollout in Austin has fueled stock momentum, but safety concerns and NHTSA scrutiny signal caution ahead. Widespread traffic <a href="https://opentools.ai/news/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-excitement-meets-safety-concerns">violations</a> by Tesla's self-driving cars are drawing regulatory attention—investors may want to temper the hype.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="629" height="484" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04102512/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.45-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-973163" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04102512/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.45-PM.png 629w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04102512/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.32.45-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Technicals side with caution too, as the stock has dipped below most moving averages, finding support in the 200-day SMA (simple moving average). The RSI is neutral at 47.59 but a negative MACD again speaks caution. Overall, the growth-oriented Tesla bulls may see this as a buy-the-dip opportunity. Though investors must be warned, that Tesla stock, being driven a lot by sentiment, doesn&#8217;t some without speed bumps.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): Crypto's Comeback Kid</h2>
Coinbase is another stock riding the Bitcoin reserve wave, with Wall Street noting its role in custody and trading.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="629" height="484" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-973164" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM.png 629w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
The stock has seen and uptick in and strong trading volume recently, driven by the Bitcoin reserve momentum. With an RSI of 68.09 and a healthy MACD at 30.30, COIN stock trades above moving averages &#8211; both short and long-term. For those seeking to profit from a greedy market, COIN is definitely a play on crypto greed.
Extreme greed can make heroes &#8211; or bagholders. These five trades ride the current wave, but frothy markets demand sharp entries, tighter stops, and zero complacency. Ride the trend, but don't forget: euphoria always overstays its welcome… until it doesn't.

Greed Mode On: Why Tesla, Nvidia, Palantir And Bitcoin Plays Could Rip

UGI's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UGI#NYSE">UGI</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.19% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.79 million shares sold short, which is 6.74% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.69 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?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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for UGI 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 UGI'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>, UGI's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.56%, which means the company has more 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>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.

Peering Into Exelixis's Recent Short Interest

In the current session, the stock is trading at $44.72, after a 3.32% spike. Over the past month, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>) stock increased by 10.35%, and in the past year, by 114.92%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating Kratos Defense &amp; Security P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 107.77 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 332.92. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751648416_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

$1000 Invested In L3Harris Technologies 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

This year, the Fourth of July marks the 249th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), an asset whose ideas are rooted in financial sovereignty, has evolved significantly over the last few Independence Days.
What happened: Between 2020 and 2021, the apex cryptocurrency's value soared by an impressive 286%. Then came the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/10/29109313/how-long-will-the-crypto-bear-market-last">brutal bear market</a> of 2022, which triggered a 42% decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s price.
Since then, the leading coin has been trending only upward. After recovering by 52% in 2023, Bitcoin surged to nearly $57,000 by last year's Independence Day.
The last quarter of 2024 and the first half of 2025 saw a record-breaking run, with Bitcoin peaking at $111,970. While it has fallen from its highs, its value today is 92% higher than the same time last year.
From the data below, the compounded annual growth rate for Bitcoin is approximately 64%.

Bitcoin&#8217;s libertarian ideals, which advocated decentralization and freedom from centralized institutions, attracted many early investors. Tech billionaire and&nbsp;Palantir Technologies&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;once revealed that Bitcoin&#8217;s vision as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist freedom tool</a> drew him to the asset.

The first sentence in the whitepaper reads: &#8220;A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.&#8221;
However, truth be told. Bitcoin, as it exists today, is drastically different. It has become increasingly mainstream, with Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46228970/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-surpasses-sp-500-etf-in-revenue-as-xrp-dogecoin-etf-approval-predicted-to-follow-soon">financial behemoths pouring millions into its funds daily,</a> and having a say on its price.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Alamos Gold Stock In The Last 10 Years

Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley didn't just question Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) approach to autonomy—he challenged the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46156654/ford-ceo-jim-farley-believes-waymos-approach-makes-more-sense-than-elon-musk-led-teslas-when-you-have-a-brand-like-ford-you-have-to-be-really-careful"> logic behind betting on it</a>. 
Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley said Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo's lidar-based system makes more sense than Tesla's camera-only model, citing consumer trust and safety. But beneath the tech debate lies something even more jarring: Tesla's valuation is pricing in a robotaxi revolution that isn't here yet &#8211; and Ford just put that on blast.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Vision, Ford's Caution</h2>
While Elon Musk is rolling out camera-only robotaxis in Austin, Ford's message is clear: lidar is a safety non-negotiable, and fully autonomous systems aren't viable &#8211; yet. 
Farley even went so far as to say Ford gave up chasing Level 4 autonomy and instead is focused on "eyes-off" highway driving. Translation: we're going for realistic, not sci-fi.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Now Enter The Valuation Trap</h2>
Tesla is valued like it's already conquered autonomy:

Data Source: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Benzinga Pro</a>
Tesla trades at a forward P/E nearly 9x Alphabet's, and over 24x Ford's, yet the revenue impact from autonomy remains negligible. Tesla bulls argue the robotaxi future justifies the premium. 
But if even legacy automakers like Ford are backing off full autonomy, that future may be farther out than markets want to admit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet: The Underrated Value Play</h2>
While Farley prefers Waymo&#8217;s approach, Alphabet may be the real value winner. Waymo logs over 250,000 paid rides a week, operates commercially, and doesn't carry Tesla's pricing risk. 
And Alphabet's core business still trades at less than 20x forward earnings.
Ford didn't just throw shade on Tesla's tech—it threw cold water on Tesla's valuation story. Robotaxis might be the future, but for now, Alphabet offers the smarter, cheaper, and more grounded ride.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

You don't have to stay where you are for the rest of your life, and a couple that went from living in their car to a $1 million net worth embodies this idea. The couple got into a bad financial situation when they were both laid off a few weeks apart in 2008. Then, with no salaries and student loan payments to make, they had to live in a car.
The situation looked grim, but the couple recovered and put themselves in a good financial position. They recently shared <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1lmkjdl/39_debt_free_soon_to_be_40_in_one_month_980k_net/">how they did it</a> in the Dave Ramsey subreddit.&nbsp;
"I managed to find a low-paying but stable job," the husband explained.&nbsp;

</ul>
Here's how you can apply the couple's lessons to your financial situation so you can achieve long-term goals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Have To Start Somewhere</h2>
The husband doesn't work at the same job he took during the Great Recession, but it gave the couple a start. That job allowed them to rent out a garage and get back on their feet little by little.&nbsp;
There wasn't a quick and dramatic rise to the top. The couple learned about Ramsey's baby steps financial formula for getting out of debt and building wealth during this time. They took advantage of coupons and discounts wherever they could find them while living "insanely frugal."
The first job you get probably won't be your dream job. It may take a few years before you earn a six-figure salary, and even that's not guaranteed. Taking a low-paying job lets you get your foot in the door. You might be chosen for internal promotions if you overachieve at your company, but job hopping is another alternative that can introduce you to a higher salary after you've built some work experience.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Climb The Corporate Ladder</h2>
The Redditor mentions that he climbed the corporate ladder for more than a decade to boost his salary. Growing your salary makes it easier to cover various costs, like student loans, mortgage payments, cars, and credit card debt. The couple is debt-free because of their commitment to climbing the corporate ladder.
It's easier to play it safe and stay at a stable job, but this mentality can significantly limit your earnings. You may find better opportunities at another company, but before you consider that route, it's worth asking for a raise and seeing if you can get promoted within the company.&nbsp;
You will have to build your network, regularly apply for new jobs, and get good at negotiating to ascend the corporate ladder over time. This couple stayed the course for more than a decade to reach their current level.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Live A Frugal Lifestyle</h2>
Staying below your means requires making some sacrifices. You may not be able to go on luxurious vacations, and buying used cars may be the norm. However, it was a key component for the couple's long-term success and happiness.&nbsp;
Being frugal can also reduce your financial stress since you are letting fewer expenses into your life. The husband summed up the long-term benefits of his frugal lifestyle in one of the comments.
"Being frugal paved the way to an amazing life with an amazing wife and two great kiddos. We spent on what we considered value add for our future and our lifestyle, and really have enjoyed life to its fullest and intend to do so. We are a family who loves to travel, be on the road, and explore new things. We are constantly on the road, doing what we love. I was able to afford this lifestyle because we are frugal and smart with money."

A Couple Share How They Went From Living In Their Car To A $1 Million Net Worth: 'I Managed To Find A Low-Paying But Stable Job'

Sun Communities's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.91% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.01 million shares sold short, which is 2.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.21 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sun Communities 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 Sun Communities's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sun Communities's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.53%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
