In its conference call, the company said it expects fourth-quarter core operating profit growth to be in the mid-to-high single digits, excluding contribution from 53rd week and noted sales did not meet expectations in key markets of China and the Middle East, tempering expectations in the fourth quarter.

<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.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

As blockchain technology gains traction in traditional finance, Anthony Rousseau, TradeStation's vice president and head of brokerage solutions, shared his thoughts on the complexities of merging these systems. In a pre-event interview for the upcoming <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets conference</a>, Rousseau detailed the careful process of integrating blockchain within long-established financial structures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Careful Transition for Traditional Institutions</h3>
Rousseau, who previously worked with State Street's digital assets strategy team, described how traditional financial institutions are cautious in their approach to blockchain. 
"Large financial institutions prioritize identifying and mitigating threats to their current structures while adapting new industries to fit within existing regulatory frameworks," he explained. He noted that the demand for regulated digital asset options among retail investors has grown, signaling a shift toward blockchain adoption.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/04195223/905735A6-57D3-4874-9AA1-75D037842DB3-1-7.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-629106" /></a></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Challenges of Compliance and Compatibility</h3>
Incorporating decentralized technology within conventional finance poses challenges, particularly around regulatory compliance and internal risk systems. 
"Significant challenges remain, including ensuring regulatory compliance and integrating decentralized elements with established risk and reporting systems," Rousseau remarked.
The structure of traditional finance, refined over decades, depends heavily on operational consistency, which makes the shift to transparency and decentralized control an intricate process.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Toward the Future</h3>
Rousseau noted that this transformation will not happen overnight. 
"Traditional finance&#8230; has spent decades building business models around the inefficiencies of current structures," he said.
A true shift toward a model of individual ownership, supported by blockchain, "will likely take decades to take shape." While slow, he acknowledged that this evolution could lead to lasting changes in the industry.
As the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event</a> approaches, Rousseau's perspective brings a thoughtful angle to the ongoing discussion of blockchain's role in reshaping finance while preserving structural integrity.
