$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The S&amp;P 500 Index just finished a vicious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500">first quarter of 2025</a>.
The stock market index lost over 4.5% as investor sentiment, as indicated by the CNN Money Fear and Greed Index, languishes in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44601155/sp-500-settles-higher-ahead-of-tariff-day-fear-greed-index-remains-in-extreme-fear-zone">&#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; category</a>.

As one of the most widely used proxies for the SPX, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 3.76% this year as of writing. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">in the ETF</a>, some stocks defied the trend:
<ul>
<li>CVS Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) jumped 53.35% due to robust earnings growth in the last quarter. </li>
<li>Gold miner Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) rose 26.21%, and </li>

Markets are gearing up for even more turbulence as President Donald Trump unveiled a comprehensive slate of tariffs. Watch the stream below.

Investors worry that these tariffs, potentially imposed widely on trading partners from China to Mexico and Canada, will raise costs, restrict consumer purchases, and temper economic growth. 
With economic news, Federal Reserve actions, and geopolitical tensions front and center, the SPX continues on uncertain footing. 
Investors will closely monitor how the market responds to Trump&#8217;s tariff declaration and whether defensive sectors continue to outperform in an increasingly uncertain economic climate.

<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.

British American Tobacco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTI#NYSE">BTI</a>), recognized as one of the top three tobacco companies globally by both market capitalization and net sales, has further entrenched itself in the cannabis industry, finalizing a strategic investment of C$124.6 million (approximately $86.8 million) in Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGI#NASDAQ">OGI</a>), a leading Canadian licensed cannabis producer. The completion of this three-tranche investment cements BAT's role as a major stakeholder in Organigram and highlights the increasing convergence of the tobacco and cannabis sectors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Move Amid Market Challenges</h3>
The investment, executed through BAT's wholly owned subsidiary BT DE Investments Inc., marks another significant foray by a major tobacco company into the cannabis industry. As traditional tobacco markets shrink due to declining smoking rates and regulatory pressures, companies like BAT, Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) and Altria Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) are seeking diversification in alternative markets, with cannabis proving an attractive prospect.
According to Paolo De Luca, chief strategy officer at Organigram, "Opportunities in the space have only improved with cannabis valuations at historically weaker levels and many cannabis and hemp companies unable to access cost-efficient growth capital despite fundamentally strong businesses."

The injection of funds into Organigram is expected to accelerate the company's international expansion and product innovation efforts. The financing will primarily be allocated to a strategic investment pool known as &#8220;Jupiter,&#8221; designed to identify and support growth opportunities in the global cannabis market. Organigram has already deployed portions of this pool, including C$21 million invested in Germany's Sanity Group and C$2.7 million in U.S.-based Open Book Extracts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Growing Footprint of Big Tobacco in Cannabis</h3>
BAT's move follows a growing pattern of investments by major tobacco firms in the cannabis sector:
<ul>
<li>Altria Group, the parent company of Marlboro, invested $1.8 billion in Canadian cannabis firm Cronos Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRON#NASDAQ">CRON</a>) in 2018, acquiring a 45% stake.</li>
<li>Philip Morris International agreed to purchase Israeli medical cannabis inhaler company Syqe Medical in 2023 for up to $650 million.</li>
<li>Imperial Brands invested £75 million ($96.4 million) in Auxly Cannabis Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBWTF#OTC">CBWTF</a>) and participated in funding Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies, a company focused on cannabis-based pharmaceuticals.</li>
<li>BAT led a $37.6M Series B funding round in Germany's Sanity Group, securing a minority stake in 2022.</li>
</ul>
These moves underscore the increasing alignment between the tobacco and cannabis industries, particularly as regulatory frameworks evolve and consumer preferences shift toward reduced-risk products.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Governance And Influence</h3>
As part of the investment agreement, BAT now holds a 30% stake in Organigram's common shares and a 100% stake in its non-voting preferred shares. This arrangement ensures that BAT maintains a level of control without surpassing regulatory thresholds that could trigger anti-competition concerns. Furthermore, BAT has secured the right to nominate up to 30% of Organigram's board of directors, giving it substantial influence over the company&#8217;s strategic direction.
Organigram's preferred shares, initially convertible on a one-to-one basis into common shares, are designed to increase in conversion rate by 7.5% per annum, a mechanism that allows BAT's economic stake in Organigram to grow over time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Future Of Tobacco-Cannabis Collaborations</h3>
BAT's sustained commitment to cannabis signals that the tobacco industry sees long-term value in cannabis-related products. With global cannabis legalization gaining traction, particularly in Europe and parts of the U.S., these investments position tobacco giants to capture market share in a new, potentially lucrative industry.
As BAT and its competitors continue to navigate regulatory landscapes and consumer demand, the synergy between tobacco expertise and cannabis innovation will likely lead to the development of new product categories, including cannabis-infused vape products and medical formulations. The continued investment in companies like Organigram suggests that big tobacco is not just experimenting with cannabis, it&#8217;s preparing for a future in which cannabis products could rival traditional nicotine offerings.

Why It Matters: The catalyst for Monday&#8217;s selloff was Trump&#8217;s announcement of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, plus an additional 20% tariff on Chinese goods. The Kobeissi Letter noted these increases would raise the U.S. average effective tariff to approximately 20%, levels not seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">since the Great Depression</a>.
Market strategist Tom Lee of Fundstrat suggested this week could mark the bottom for stocks in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44072005/tom-lee-sees-stocks-potentially-hitting-first-half-lows-this-week-bad-news-has-gotten-priced-in">first half of 2025</a>, noting &#8220;a lot of bad news has gotten priced in&#8221; and that retail sentiment has reached bearish levels comparable to fall 2022.
Wall Street remains divided on the tariffs&#8217; impact, with Peter Schiff warning of domestic economic harm while others like Anthony Pompliano pointed to Taiwan Semiconductor&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) $100 billion U.S. investment announcement as evidence tariffs might boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">domestic manufacturing</a>.

Tech Sector Hammered As Trump's Tariff Plans Spark Market Selloff: Nvidia, ARM, Super Micro Lead Tech Bloodbath

Marlboro cigarette maker Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) is reportedly exploring a potential sale of its U.S. cigar business. The company added the U.S. cigar business via its massive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/08/28547251/elliott-started-buying-swedish-match-stock-after-philip-morris-16b-bid-whats-next" rel="noreferrer noopener">$16 billion acquisition deal</a> with Swedish Match AB.
The move accelerates Philip Morris' transition toward smoke-free products. Benzinga has contacted Philip Morris for comment on the potential deal and will update when we receive a response.
In July, Philip Morris announced a $600 million investment through one of its U.S. affiliates to establish a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39796877/philip-morris-expands-us-operations-with-600m-colorado-plant" rel="noreferrer noopener">manufacturing facility in Aurora, Colorado</a>.
The new plant, expected to create 500 direct jobs and generate $550 million in annual economic impact, will also add 1,000 indirect jobs as it produces Swedish Match ZYN nicotine pouches to meet the rising demand for smoke-free products among <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39796877/philip-morris-expands-us-operations-with-600m-colorado-plant" rel="noreferrer noopener">legal-age consumers</a>.
In August, Philip Morris revealed an investment of $232 million through one of its Swedish Match affiliates to expand the production capacity of its&nbsp;manufacturing facility in Owensboro, Kentucky.&nbsp;
"We are accelerating our mission toward a smoke-free future, working with our U.S. affiliates to move adults away from cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products by providing better alternatives," said Stacey Kennedy, CEO of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40583658/philip-morris-invests-232m-to-expand-kentucky-facility-adding-450-jobs-and-boosting-production-f" rel="noreferrer noopener">PMI's U.S. business</a>.
The Bloomberg report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-02/philip-morris-pm-to-weigh-cigar-sale-amid-smoke-free-shift?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> the company is reportedly working with advisers to gauge interest, seeking over $1 billion for the asset.
A company representative confirmed that a strategic review of the U.S. cigar business was announced in 2024 but did not provide further updates. The potential divestment aligns with Philip Morris's broader efforts to reduce its dependence on traditional tobacco products as global smoking rates decline.
Despite its legacy brands like Marlboro and Parliament, Philip Morris is increasingly focused on alternatives such as IQOS, its heated tobacco product, which overtook Marlboro in sales last year, particularly in markets like Japan, the Bloomberg report adds.
The smoke-free business accounted for 40% of the company's total net <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43529386/tobacco-company-philip-morris-stocks-surge-on-solid-q4-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenues in the fourth quarter</a>. By 2030, the company aims to have smoke-free products account for two-thirds of its revenue.
Price Action: PM stock is up 1.27% at $157.25 at the last check on Monday.

<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.
