<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 Molina Healthcare 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 Molina Healthcare'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>, Molina Healthcare's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.77%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Molina Healthcare's Recent Short Interest

WIIM

Shares of health insurance stocks are trading higher in possible reaction to President-elect Donald Trump indicating he plans to nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz has reportedly supported Medicare Advantage plans.

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager renowned for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has significantly increased his exposure to Chinese technology companies while simultaneously implementing protective measures against potential downside risks, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">according to regulatory filings</a>.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management made several notable adjustments to its portfolio during the third quarter, with Chinese companies now representing its largest positions. The firm increased its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 29%, making it the fund&#8217;s largest holding valued at over $21 million as of September&#8217;s end.
In a similar move, Scion doubled its position in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), elevating it to the fund&#8217;s second-largest holding at approximately $20 million. The firm also expanded its stake in Chinese search giant Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) by 67%, bringing the position to $13.2 million.
However, in what appears to be a cautionary strategy, Burry has simultaneously established put options against these same holdings. Put options typically increase in value when the underlying securities decline, suggesting a hedging strategy designed to protect against potential market volatility.

The timing of these moves coincides with Beijing&#8217;s recent economic stimulus announcements aimed at reinvigorating growth in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. While Chinese equities initially rallied in September following these signals, gains have moderated as investors await more concrete fiscal measures.
Beyond his Chinese technology focus, Burry has also increased positions in several U.S. companies, including Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOUR#NYSE">FOUR</a>), American Coastal Insurance Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACIC#NASDAQ">ACIC</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Why It Matters: Burry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">top three Chinese holdings</a> have posted average gains of nearly 60% over a two-month period, according to market data.
Burry&#8217;s moves are being closely watched by market participants, particularly given his track record. He gained widespread recognition for his prescient bet against mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 global financial crisis, a story later chronicled in Michael Lewis&#8216;s bestseller &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and its subsequent Oscar-winning film adaptation.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these positions reflect holdings as of Sep. 30, as required by SEC regulations for funds managing over $100 million in assets. Given the 45-day reporting delay and Burry&#8217;s active trading style, current positions may have already changed.
The development comes as other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">prominent investors adjust their Chinese holdings</a>. Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8217;s Appaloosa Management recently reduced its Alibaba stake by 5%, though the position remains the fund&#8217;s largest holding at 15.75% of its $6.7 billion portfolio.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate and former president, was elected to the highest office again, marking a return to an administration. His second term is likely to impact U.S. healthcare.
Trump has been unclear about his healthcare policy goals during his campaign. Healthcare <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kff.org/health-care-in-2024-elections-apvotecast-polling/?entry=kff-analysis-of-ap-votecast-abortion-ballot-initiatives" rel="noreferrer noopener">ranked</a> lower than issues like the economy and immigration in voter concerns.
A <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/ap-votecast-elections-harris-trump-voters-d5cf4e3611f50ec4349d93ddc7f037cd" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll</a> from the Associated Press found that only 8% of voters viewed healthcare as their top issue, compared to 39% who chose the economy and 20% who picked immigration. Abortion was the leading issue for 11% of voters.

Kennedy Jr. Rattles Vaccine Stocks: &#8216;Shoot First Reaction&#8217;</a>
Despite his focus on &#8220;Make America Healthy Again,&#8221; millions of Americans may lose health insurance subsidies next year, depending on the political climate after the election and the Republicans&#8217; control of the Senate.
The subsidies, expanded under the 2021 American Rescue Plan, help many, particularly the middle class, afford health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
These subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025, and it remains uncertain whether they will be extended under the new administration.
Trump and other Republicans have opposed continuing the subsidies.
The NBC News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/millions-risk-losing-health-insurance-trumps-victory-rcna179146" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, citing some analysts, suggests that the chances of extension could be less than 5% if Republicans win control of the House and the Senate.
Even if Democrats control the House, extending these subsidies seems unlikely. Without an extension, nearly 4 million Americans could lose coverage by 2026 due to unaffordable premiums.
The 2021 changes led to a surge in ACA enrollment, with 15.5 million people benefiting from subsidies across 32 states. The report adds that if the subsidies aren&#8217;t renewed, up to 15.4 million Americans could lose health coverage by 2030.
Another significant issue is Trump&#8217;s stance on Medicare. As president, he supported Medicare Advantage, a private insurer-run program that could eventually replace traditional, government-run Medicare.
The NPR report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/11/07/nx-s1-5183092/trump-election-2024-medicare-advantage" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlights</a> that critics argue that expanding private insurers could increase costs for taxpayers and limit care, with some beneficiaries finding it difficult to switch back to traditional Medicare.
Robert Berenson, a former government official, warned that traditional Medicare could &#8220;wither on the vine.&#8221;
Medicare Advantage grew with the 2003 legislation introducing a drug benefit and expanded private insurers&#8217; role in the program. Although private plans were expected to lower costs, they have been more expensive.
The report also says that in 2023, Medicare Advantage plans cost taxpayers about 6% — or $27 billion — more than traditional Medicare, though some research suggests they offer better care.
The future of healthcare policy in the U.S. will depend on the political dynamics in Congress and Trump&#8217;s second term.
With Republicans pushing for major changes to the ACA and Medicare, experts warn of significant shifts in how Americans access and pay for healthcare in the coming years.
