Momentum investors typically don&#39;t time the market or &quot;buy low and sell high.&quot; In other words, they avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. Instead, they believe that &quot;buying high and selling higher&quot; is the way to make far more money in lesser time.
Everyone likes betting on fast-moving trending stocks, but it isn&#39;t easy to determine the right entry point. These stocks often lose momentum when their future growth potential fails to justify their swelled-up valuation. In that phase, investors find themselves invested in shares that have limited to no upside or even a downside. So, betting on a stock just by looking at the traditional momentum parameters could be risky at times.
It could be safer to invest in bargain stocks that have been witnessing price momentum recently. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score, which pays close attention to trends in a stock&#39;s price or earnings, is pretty useful in identifying great momentum stocks, our &#39;Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain&#39; screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lpsn#NASDAQ">LPSN</a>) is one of the several great candidates that made it through the screen. While there are numerous reasons why this stock is a great choice, here are the most vital ones:
Investors&#39; growing interest in a stock is reflected in its recent price increase. A price change of 33.8% over the past four weeks positions the stock of this customer-service technology company well in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. LPSN meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 58.5% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for LPSN is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.73. This indicates that the stock moves 73% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that LPSN has a Momentum Score of A, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped LPSN earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That&#39;s because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up.
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, LPSN is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. LPSN is currently trading at 0.26 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 26 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, LPSN appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.

<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 LivePerson 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 LivePerson'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>, LivePerson's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.15%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Why Domino's Pizza Shares Are Trading Lower By Over 11%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Thursday's Mid-Day Session

LivePerson's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPSN#NYSE">LPSN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.01% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.04 million shares sold short, which is 10.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.44 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.

<h3>LivePerson Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1720791911_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for LivePerson 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 LivePerson'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>, LivePerson's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.54%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
