La vendita allo scoperto per Renault dà agli investitori un'idea del grado in cui gli investitori stanno scommettendo sul declino delle azioni di Renault. I dati relativi alle vendite allo scoperto vengono aggiornati ogni due settimane.

Renault (OTC:RNLSY) Azioni, Report sulle vendite allo scoperto

Renault manufactures and sells around 2.2 million vehicles per year. On a global scale, it is relatively small, with just over 2% market share. With around 80% of its revenue sourced from only three brands - Renault, Dacia, and Alpine - in Europe, the company is the third-largest player, with Renault being the second-largest single brand in Europe. Its alliance with Nissan allows it to leverage the scale of 6 million vehicles by sharing platform infrastructure, capacity, and R&D.

Court's Decision Rejects Nano's Shameless and Desperate Attempt to Disenfranchise Shareholders By Claiming ADS Holders Have No Rights
Murchinson is Pleased with the Court's Ruling and Will Continue its Efforts to Improve Nano's Broken Corporate Governance, Halt the Pattern of Hypocritical Actions and Protect All Shareholders' Interests Through Current Proxy Contest
Murchinson Urges Nano's Board to Comply with the Court's Decision Immediately and Avoid Costly Legal Maneuvers or Other Attempts to Evade Implementing What Shareholders Voted For
Murchinson Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates and funds it advises and/or sub-advises, "Murchinson" or "we"), a significant shareholder with approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNDM#NASDAQ">NNDM</a>) ("Nano" or the "Company") today announced that, on November 21, 2024, the District Court for the Central District in Israel (the "Court") delivered its long-awaited decision regarding the results of the Nano special meeting held in March 2023 (the "March 2023 EGM"). The Court has fully validated the results of the March 2023 EGM.
At the March 2023 EGM, shareholders overwhelmingly supported all of Murchinson's proposals to:
<ul>
<li>Amend the Articles of Association of Nano to allow shareholders to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors (the "Board"). This right was previously available only to the Board.</li>
<li>Amend the Articles of Association of Nano to allow shareholders to remove directors from the Board at any general meeting and via a simple majority. Previously, shareholders had no such right to hold directors accountable between annual meetings and could only do so with a special majority.</li>
<li>Remove four then-serving directors: Yoav Stern, Yoav Nissan-Cohen, Oded Gera and Igal Rotem. Notably, Mr. Rotem has since resigned from the Board, but Messrs. Stern, Nissan-Cohen and Gera continued to serve on the Board.</li>
<li>Install two independent and highly-qualified professionals on the Board: Kenneth Traub and Dr. Joshua Rosensweig.</li>
</ul>
The Court's decision confirms that Mr. Traub and Dr. Rosensweig are full members of the Board, and that Messrs. Stern, Nissan-Cohen and Gera were lawfully removed from the Board at the March 2023 EGM.

Cantor on NVDA: Fourth-quarter guidance coming in lower than estimates and gross margin guidance spooked investors in after-hours trading Muse said in a new investor note.
Muse said there was good and great news from Nvidia in the earnings report and conference call.
"The Blackwell cycle is tracking better than the original ~$3B guide for the January Q and is expected to accelerate much more meaningfully throughout CY25 and beyond with shortages anticipated over the next several Q's amidst ‘staggering demand,'" Muse said.
The analyst said they expect first-quarter revenues to "accelerate more meaningfully," which supports the bull case for $5.50 in earnings per share in calendar year 2025 and the potential for $6 per share.
Nvidia's update at CES, February's expected guidance and the March GTC conference are items the analyst is watching going forward. Nvidia is called a top pick by the analyst.
JPM on NVDA: Third-quarter results were solid and the company's guidance shows strong AI demand, Sur said in a new investor note.
"Blackwell production ramp progressing well and demand outstripping supply through majority of CY25," Sur said.
The analyst said demand for Blackwell is "very strong" and highlighted management's commentary on expectations for Hopper shipments to remain strong into 2025 as well.
"Bottom line, the team continues to maintain a 1-2 step lead ahead of competitors with its silicon/hardware/software platforms, and a strong ecosystem and the team is further distancing itself."
Oppenheimer on NVDA: Third-quarter financial results and guidance were roughly inline with buyside expectations, led by Data Center strength, Schafer said in a new investor note.
"NVDA remains best positioned in AI, benefitting from full-stack AI hardware/software," Schafer said.
The analyst said Nvidia is "the purest scale play" for "AI proliferation." &nbsp;
"We see several structural tailwinds driving sustained outsized top-line growth in high-performance gaming, datacenter/AI and autonomous driving vehicles."
Goldman Sachs on NVDA: The ramp in Blackwell and yield improvements are likely to drive earnings per share growth, Hari said in a new investor note.
The analyst said Nvidia's guidance "only met Street expectations" and comments on gross margin headwinds, but the outlook remains strong for the stock.
"We expect growing demand for AI infrastructure across all customer groups," Hari said.
The analyst also expects improving supply and gross margin normalization to help drive earnings per share growth.
Piper Sandler on NVDA: Nvidia beating third-quarter analyst estimates kept up with recent trends, Kumar said in a new investor note.
The analyst said Nvidia is setting up for strong growth starting in April.
"The key here is that NVDA is going through a product transition with Blackwell ramping and H200 remaining strong," Kumar said.
Nvidia's guidance beats could be higher starting in April, Kumar added.
"All systems go for Blackwell ramp."
Needham on NVDA: The Blackwell ramp is ahead of previous estimates, Bolton said in a new investor note.
The analyst said guidance was below some of the loftier estimates from analysts with third-quarter results well ahead of Needham estimates.
"Management not only silenced the Blackwell overheating rumors, but raised its F4Q Blackwell revenue guide," Bolton said.
The analyst highlighted Nvidia mentioning Blackwell production was full steam ahead while naming customers such as Dell, Oracle, Microsoft, Alphabet and CoreWeave.
"Demand is ‘greatly exceeding supply,' and Blackwell sales for the January quarter are currently on track to exceed previous guidance of several billions of dollars."
Benchmark on NVDA: Third-quarter results had plenty of strength, but the lack of a huge guidance raise left shareholders wanting more and taking profits, Acree said.
"Nothing except the most aggressive beat and raise was likely to keep the market from fairly aggressive profit-taking, which is exactly what happened," Acree said.
The analyst said investors may be getting wary about the longevity of "the AI trade" with Nvidia shares up over 200% year-to-date ahead of earnings.
"The company's performance and outlook appear to be suffering from a "law of large numbers."
Despite Nvidia shares being up over 700% since early 2023 compared to the S&amp;P 500 up 57% over the same time period, the analyst sees long-term value.
"NVDA's shares still represent a compelling value for thoughtful investors willing to look past the near-term noise."
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 1.46% to $143.76 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $45.01 to $152.89. Nvidia stock is up 200% year-to-date in 2024.

<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 Capital One Finl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Capital One Finl'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>, Capital One Finl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.47%, which means the company has less 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>
