12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Ares Capital's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCC#NYSE">ARCC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.33% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 15.59 million shares sold short, which is 2.43% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.14 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/">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.

<h3>Ares Capital Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732913119_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ares Capital 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 Ares Capital'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>, Ares Capital's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.34%, 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>

<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.

<h3>About Freeport-McMoRan</h3>
Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2023, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. About 75% of 2023 revenue was from copper, with a further 15% from gold and about 10% from molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at end December 2023. We expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2028, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CAT

A September survey published by Intelligent.com found that 60% of employers have already let go of Gen Z hires just months after they started. The reasons are piling up: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41555075/millennials-and-gen-z-rely-on-parents-for-financial-support-survey-finds-its-costing-them-their-">lack of motivation</a>, poor communication skills and unprofessional behavior are at the top of the list. Employers have also flagged issues like tardiness, inappropriate workplace attire and unrealistic expectations for quick promotions.

</ul>
Recruiters and hiring managers aren't just frustrated; they're rethinking whether it's worth hiring recent graduates. One in six employers say they're hesitant to bring on new grads and some companies outright avoid them in next year's hiring cycle.
According to a New York Post article, the disconnect doesn't seem limited to the U.S. Recruitment expert Roxanne Calder observes similar trends in Australia, though not as severe as in America. She notes that employers are frustrated because younger hires often fail to meet the expectations tied to their starting salaries – many of which hover around $80,000 for entry-level roles. Companies are looking for employees who can "fire" on all cylinders immediately, but Calder says many Gen Z workers lack the technical and interpersonal skills to meet these demands.

In her experience, one of the biggest challenges is how Gen Z handles feedback. "They find it really difficult," she told news.com.au, as the New York Post reported.&nbsp;
Sometimes, Calder converses with young workers and then sends them an email asking if they have anything to add because she finds they struggle so much with face-to-face communication. This hesitancy to engage directly with managers and process constructive criticism creates a significant gap between employer expectations and employee readiness.
Feedback has also become a sticking point; Calder notes that Gen Z workers often struggle to take constructive criticism, which can create friction with managers.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39181971/gen-z-job-applicant-rejects-90-minute-task-ceo-faces-backlash">Adding fuel to the fire</a>, TikTok is full of Gen Z employees sharing their stories about being fired. Some blame rigid or outdated workplace cultures, while others admit they weren't prepared for the reality of their roles. Calder says, "They want the dream career, but when the reality hits, it's hard to reconcile the two."
Trending: Over the last five years, the price of gold has increased by approximately 83% — Investors like Bill O&#8217;Reilly and Rudy Giuliani are using this platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/american-hartford-gold">create customized gold IRAs to help shield their savings from inflation and economic turbulence.&nbsp;</a>
But the finger-pointing can't rest solely on Gen Z. HR consultant Bryan Driscoll argues that the education system shoulders some responsibility. In a Newsweek article, Driscoll drew on personal experience, stating, "As someone who went through years of education, including law school, I can tell you this: colleges are not preparing students for real-world work."
Companies, too, could step up by offering better onboarding and mentorship programs to set young hires up for success. Driscoll warns, "If companies keep treating them as disposable assets, we're going to end up with a workforce that's both overworked and unprepared."
Bridging the gap will ultimately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">require effort on both sides</a>. Employers need to invest in the next generation and Gen Z workers need to adapt to the demands of the professional world. Until then, the revolving door of new hires and rapid terminations will likely keep spinning.

Cannabis Stock Gainers And Losers From November 29, 2024

Via <a href="https://elplanteo.com/venderan-semillas-de-cannabis-psicoactivo-en-uruguay/">El Planteo</a>
Mercedes Ponce de León, founder of <a href="https://elplanteo.com/expocannabis-uruguay-2024/">ExpoCannabis Uruguay</a>, announced that &#8220;On Friday, December 6, at ExpoCannabis Uruguay, at 1 p.m., we will make history with the launch of the first pre-sale of legal psychoactive cannabis seeds in Uruguay.&#8221; This milestone cements Uruguay's position as a global cannabis industry leader.
The news, shared exclusively during <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouJLpCZvIA">El Planteo Live #23</a>, opens new doors for consumers and local businesses. Ponce de León explained that this initiative, spearheaded by Antera Garden Supplies in collaboration with seed bank Ripper Seeds, will offer legal psychoactive varieties. She added, "This is a revolutionary change in Uruguay&#8217;s cannabis history."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Uruguay: A Pioneer Facing New Challenges</h1>
Since legalizing cannabis production, commercialization and consumption in 2013, Uruguay has led the way in the region. The country has gained recognition for exporting medical cannabis flowers and industrial hemp, with companies striving for a global presence.
However, challenges persist, particularly in navigating international regulations and securing financing.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ExpoCannabis: Driving Industry Transformation</h1>
ExpoCannabis Uruguay has been a key event for the cannabis industry since its inception. More than just a networking opportunity, the event acts as a springboard for regulatory and commercial breakthroughs.
Ponce de León highlighted the importance of this year's edition, where the pre-sale of seeds takes center stage, promising to reshape the landscape for local consumers and growers. She noted, "ExpoCannabis has always been a platform for innovation, and this year will be no different."
The event's significance lies in its ability to generate impact both nationally and internationally. It attracts investors, experts and companies who view Uruguay as a model to emulate.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Future Of Cannabis In Uruguay</h1>
Despite its accomplishments, Uruguay faces growing competition from countries such as Colombia and Mexico, which are advancing in cannabis production and exportation. To maintain its leadership, Uruguay must continue innovating, diversifying its markets and addressing regulatory challenges with clear strategies.
The pre-sale of legal seeds marks just the beginning. As Ponce de León summarized, "This is the start of a new chapter for Uruguay's cannabis sector."
