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.

The Analyst Verdict: Amicus Therapeutics In The Eyes Of 8 Experts

ONMD

OneMedNet shares are trading higher after it announced continued investment in Bitcoin which is currently seeing record highs.

Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is expanding its search for a successor to CEO Bob Iger, considering external candidates as the company&#8217;s board, led by incoming Chairman James Gorman, aims to stabilize the succession process.
The move signals a shift from an internal competition among Disney&#8217;s top executives to a broader search, including external contenders such as Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>), the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/disney-explores-wider-field-of-candidates-to-succeed-iger-d1876792" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
According to the report, Disney has partnered with executive search firm Heidrick &amp; Struggles to evaluate potential external candidates, and at least two more contenders have been identified beyond Wilson.

The decision comes as Gorman, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41432091/disneys-leadership-shift-james-gorman-named-as-chairman-ceo-search-underway" rel="noreferrer noopener">set to take over</a> as Chairman in January, pushes for a comprehensive review of candidates, signaling his intent to find the right leader to guide Disney beyond Iger&#8217;s tenure.
The company has announced it plans to finalize its choice for the CEO role by early 2026, delaying its previous timeline.
Wilson, who has previously discussed potential deals with Disney and even interviewed for a senior role at ESPN in 2018, remains a strong external contender.
Recent talks have also explored partnerships between Electronic Arts and Disney&#8217;s ESPN, although these discussions have yet to materialize into a deal, the report states.
The WSJ report says that internally, Disney had four key executives vying for the CEO role: Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, Josh D&#8217;Amaro, and Jimmy Pitaro. Each company manages significant areas of Disney&#8217;s business, from streaming to theme parks.
Last week, Disney launched the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41720954/disney-creates-new-tech-hub-for-ai-and-ar" rel="noreferrer noopener">Office of Technology Enablement</a> to drive AI and XR innovation across media and parks.
Jim Cramer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41432091/disneys-leadership-shift-james-gorman-named-as-chairman-ceo-search-underway" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed interest in</a> buying more Disney stock if it dips below $90, stressing the potential value of the company&#8217;s theme parks amid current challenges. Disney laid off 300 corporate employees in September, following earlier cuts of 140 staff in its TV division and 175 at Pixar this year.
The recent U.S. presidential election victory of Donald Trump has also introduced new uncertainties for Disney. Trump&#8217;s criticism of Taiwan and potential changes in trade policies could impact Disney&#8217;s strategic decisions, particularly regarding its international investments and partnerships.
Walt Disney Co stock gained over 10% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>).
Price Actions: DIS stock is down 0.23% at $100.63 at&nbsp;the last check on Tuesday.

Dogecoin Is The 'Best Trump Proxy,' Industry Expert Claims

UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) shares are trading lower Tuesday. The U.S. Justice Department is moving to block the company&#8217;s multi-billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/06/32716991/optums-decision-to-target-amedisys-is-intriguing-says-analyst">acquisition of Amedisys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMED#NASDAQ">AMED</a>)</a>.
What To Know: The Justice Department has sued to block UnitedHealth&#8217;s $3.3 billion purchase of healthcare services company Amedisys, citing concerns related to competition in the home health services market, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/justice-department-sues-to-block-unitedhealths-3-3-billion-bid-for-amedisys-b0b1f738">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
Antitrust enforcers are concerned that a potential business combination could cause healthcare price increases in the areas where Amedisys competes with UnitedHealth's LHC Group.
&#8220;Unless this $3.3 billion transaction is stopped, UnitedHealth Group will further extend its grip to home health and hospice care, threatening seniors, their families and nurses," Assistant Attorney General&nbsp;Jonathan Kanter&nbsp;said.
The Justice Department reportedly filed the complaint in Maryland federal court, supported by state attorneys general of Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey and New York. 
The report indicates that UnitedHealth and Amedisys executives met with the Justice Department last week, aiming to ease concerns. The companies proposed selling some of their other assets to VitalCaring Group.

UnitedHealth entered into an agreement to acquire Amedisys last year. At the time, analysts raised concerns that the deal was likely to face scrutiny given the company&#8217;s robust home healthcare presence.
United Health bought LHC Group for about $5.4 billion in 2022. Amedisys is a main competitor&nbsp;to UnitedHealth&#8217;s LHC Group. Amedisys shares were down 2.21% at $90.54 at last check.
UNH Price Action: UnitedHealth shares were down 1.18% at $617.85 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
