The company recently reported that it has 2.64 million shares sold short, which is 8.64% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 8.66 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

Forecasting The Future: 10 Analyst Projections For Canaan

In the current session, the stock is trading at $79.00, after a 0.43% spike. Over the past month, Unum Gr Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNM#NYSE">UNM</a>) stock increased by 12.83%, and in the past year, by 51.24%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Comparing Unum Gr P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 20.76 in the Insurance industry, Unum Gr Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.28. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746558021_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Meanwhile, Nebraskangooner <a href="https://x.com/Nebraskangooner/status/1919756685507203327">noted</a> that DOGE is currently resting on a critical monthly support level and must hold to avoid further downside. 
Galaxy <a href="https://x.com/galaxyBTC/status/1919767068460593558">added</a> that Dogecoin is essential to any true altseason, highlighting its recent shift to higher highs and higher lows after breaking out of a 600-day accumulation range. 
As the trend suggests further upside potential, it is worth keeping on watchlist.
Statistics:  Momentum may also be building beneath the surface. 
In an X post on May 1, House of Doge <a href="https://x.com/houseofdoge/status/1917991127891800421">revealed</a> that the Dogecoin Reserve acquired over 10 million DOGE in just one week, raising its total stash to 21.3 million DOGE.
On the derivatives front, CoinGlass data shows $4.92 million in DOGE liquidations, including $4.19 million in long positions, while daily derivatives volume jumped 9.7%.
Community News: Dogecoin's utility narrative is also gaining traction. DogeOS, a new operating system-like infrastructure layer for the Dogecoin blockchain, just secured $6.9 million in a funding round led by Polychain Capital, according to CoinDesk.
Jordan Jefferson, CEO of MyDoge, emphasized that DogeOS aims to support developers building consumer apps, including in gaming and AI, directly on Dogecoin. This could mark a key inflection point for expanding DOGE's real-world use cases and developer engagement.

Dogecoin Teases 'Diamond Bottom' Reversal: Is A Breakout Imminent?

IPG Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPGP#NASDAQ">IPGP</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reporting first-quarter results.</a>
The company <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/06/3074968/0/en/IPG-Photonics-Announces-First-Quarter-2025-Financial-Results.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>adjusted earnings per share of 31 cents, beating the Street view of 21 cents. Quarterly sales of $227.79 million (down 10% year over year) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $227.10 million.
Revenues slumped owing to lower sales in materials processing. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue growth by approximately 2%. Materials processing sales accounted for 86% of total revenue and decreased 14% year-over-year, as a result of lower sales in welding and cutting applications.

Operating income in the quarter under review slumped 91% to $1.8 million, while operating margin significantly contracted to 0.8% in the quarter under review, compared with 7.6% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter fell 19% on a year-over-year basis to $32.7 million.
&#8220;While recent tariffs have caused uncertainty related to the timing of shipments and some increased costs in the near term, we are able to take advantage of our global manufacturing footprint and supply chain to mitigate their impact while continuing to invest in the future growth of our business,&#8221; &nbsp;said Mark Gitin, CEO.
Gross margin in the quarter under review expanded to 39.4% from 38.7% in the year-ago period.
Outlook: IPG Photonics expects adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter to range between a loss of $0.05 and a profit of $0.25, below the consensus estimate of $0.31.
The company also projects second-quarter revenue between $210 million and $240 million, missing the Street expectation of $242.19 million.
&#8220;Our revenue guidance is approximately $15 million lower than it would have been due to potential shipment delays related to tariffs,&#8221; the firm said.
IPG Photonics expects the second quarter adjusted gross margin to be between 36% and 38%, including 150 to 200 basis points of impact from tariffs.
IGP Price Action: IPGP shares are trading lower by 12.31% to $55.36 at publication on Tuesday.

EVgo Stock Rallies As Charging Network Revenue Spikes 49% In Q1

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) moved lower on Tuesday following the launch of a timely and tongue-in-cheek offering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45216984/blue-point-brewing-co-announces-the-return-of-delayed-pilsner" rel="noreferrer noopener">from one of its subsidiaries.</a>
Blue Point Brewing Co., a well-known craft beer brand under Tilray&#8217;s beverage umbrella, has announced the return of its Delayed Pilsner — a brew created with New York commuters in mind.
The lager, originally developed as a nod to the all-too-frequent public transportation delays in the city, is once again hitting shelves across the Metro New York area.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/04/45011379/why-cannabis-stocks-jumped-by-double-digits-and-why-analysts-say-dont-drink-the-kool-aid-in-one-gulp" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Cannabis Stocks Jumped By Double Digits And Why Analysts Say &#8216;Don&#8217;t Drink The Kool-Aid In One Gulp&#8217;</a>
Carrie Shafir, senior brand director at Tilray Beverages, shared the intention behind the product: &#8220;Delayed Pilsner is our way of helping New Yorkers find a moment of peace amidst the chaos. It&#8217;s a beer that&#8217;s not just refreshing but also comforting.&#8221;
The 16-ounce can features a design inspired by the familiar &#8220;delayed&#8221; signage seen on Penn Station&#8217;s departure boards, particularly referencing Long Island destinations.
It&#8217;s a visual cue that blends humor with an all-too-relatable experience for city residents.
Delayed Pilsner is available in 16oz cans at select retailers and major transit centers across New York.
Tilary Beverages recently launched a new whiskey expression <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">under its acclaimed&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breckenridge Distillery</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;brand.</a>
The distillery unveiled the latest addition to its cask-finished lineup: Breckenridge Cognac Cask Finish Whiskey, which is available in Colorado with broader U.S. distribution anticipated later this year.
Originally released in 2022 as part of the second Collectors Art Series, this limited edition whiskey has returned with an elevated production run.
Price Action: TLRY shares are trading lower by 3.78% to $0.4229 at last check Tuesday.

Palantir Analysts Boost Their Forecasts After Q1 Results

Fabrinet&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after it reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45207128/fabrinet-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-year-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter FY25 results on Monday</a>.
Revenue was&nbsp;$871.8&nbsp;million, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$856.62 million. Adjusted EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;$2.52 exceeded<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the consensus of&nbsp;$2.49</a>.
Fabrinet CEO Seamus Grady said, &#8220;We delivered another strong telecom performance with growth that more than offset an anticipated sequential decline in datacom revenue. Our team continued to execute very well, producing non-GAAP EPS that also exceeded our guidance.&#8221;
&#8221;Looking ahead, we remain optimistic and confident in our ability to deliver strong execution in the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2026.&#8221;
As of March 28, cash and cash equivalents stood at $306.9 million.
Outlook: Fabrinet expects&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;FY25 revenue of&nbsp;$860&nbsp;million&nbsp;–&nbsp;$900&nbsp;million, surpassing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of&nbsp;$888.62 million</a>.
The company also projects fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$2.50-$2.70&nbsp;vs. the street view of&nbsp;$2.69.
Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese raised the price forecast from $230 to $250, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while retaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst says that Fabrinet&#8217;s outlook in the Telecom sector has become increasingly attractive, and expects Telecom revenue to continue its sequential growth trajectory as both Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and traditional Telecommunications markets rebound.
Also, Genovese writes that Fabrinet is poised to benefit from contract wins with major players like Cisco, Infinera, and Ciena. Simultaneously, investors might observe a less robust performance in the Datacom segment. That may not come as a significant surprise, adds the analyst.
The analyst revised EPS estimates to $10.15 (from $10.17) for 2025 and reiterated FY26 estimates at $11.20.

Crude Oil Rises Sharply; US Trade Deficit Widens In March

JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers lowered estimates for Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) ahead of the company&#8217;s first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings release on May 21</a>.
The analyst says that based on the industry analysis and data insights, he is cutting first-quarter comparable sales estimates to -2.7%, below the Street&#8217;s consensus of -1.7% and the broader buyside expectations (a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LOW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">decline of 2% to 3.5%)</a>.
Horvers writes that Lowe&#8217;s experienced a more significant headwind from unfavorable DIY weather conditions earlier in the quarter and has underperformed Home Depot more recently, even as weather conditions improved.

The analyst notes that Lowe&#8217;s previously guided to a -2% comp for the first quarter and roughly flat comps for the first half, anticipating a ~$400 million shift of spring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">sales into the second quarter</a>.
While Lowe&#8217;s faces easier weather comparisons in the second quarter (lapping &#8220;one of the worst weather backdrops in 30 years&#8221;), the analyst is slightly lowering second quarter comp estimates to +2% (from +3% previously).
This adjustment reflects the first quarter&#8217;s underperformance relative to management&#8217;s expectations, the uncertain weather outlook, and some underlying softness in the business, the analyst adds.
Further, the analyst estimates first quarter EPS at $2.87, compared to the Street&#8217;s $2.91.
Given the expectation that Lowe&#8217;s will miss its first quarter outlook and considering its positioning relative to Home Depot on tariffs, the analyst anticipates Lowe&#8217;s to adjust its full-year guidance towards the lower end of flat comparable sales and around a 12.3% operating margin. 
The analyst expects the company will reiterate confidence in managing tariffs and safeguarding margins in a less favorable scenario.
LOW Price Action: Lowe&#8217;s shares are down 0.94% at $223.07&nbsp;at publication on Tuesday.
