Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Jan. 17:
Applovin Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>): The mobile app technology company was one of the top-performing stocks in 2024 with shares up over 700%. The stock is following up the strong year with a surge in the early days of 2025 and momentum led by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APP/analyst-ratings"> several analyst ratings</a> in January. Wells Fargo maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $360 to $366. Benchmark initiated coverage on the stock with a Buy rating and $375 price target. JPMorgan maintained a Neutral rating and raised the price target from $200 to $325. Jefferies maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $400 to $425. The company will report fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 12, which could be an early indictor of how investors feel about the company's future growth. Analysts expect earnings per share to hit $1.24, up from $0.49 in last year's fourth quarter and revenue to hit $1.26 billion, up from $953.2 million in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in six straight quarters and revenue estimates in seven of the last eight quarters.

Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>): One of the hottest sectors in 2024 and early 2025 for investors has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42879725/nvidia-ceo-sends-quantum-stocks-lower-poll-finds-over-50-pick-rigetti-or-skip-for-2025">been quantum computing</a>. After a strong performance in 2024, Quantum Computing Inc saw shares fall on comments from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and a short report. The Capybara Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43052999/quantum-computing-stock-drops-over-3-during-friday-premarket-amid-fraud-allegations">alleges </a>Quantum Computing is using misleading press releases that exaggerate the company's businesses.
"Quantum Deception. QUBT Is a rampant fraud. We are short and think shareholders will be left with nothing when all is done," Capybara Research said.
Huang sent shares of stocks in the sector lower recently when he said that quantum computing applications could be 20 years away. Nvidia later announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away">first-ever quantum computing day</a> and a Microsoft executive<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42998134/qubt-qbts-up-12-rgti-gains-3-in-wednesday-premarket-quantum-computing-stocks-gain-momentum-after-microsoft-says-we-are-right-on-the-cusp-of-seeing-quantum-computers-solve-meaningful-problems"> shared positive commentary</a> on businesses preparing to be "quantum ready" by 2025.
In a recent Benzinga reader poll, Quantum Computing ranked second among four stocks in the sector that investors would most want to buy for 2025 with 24% of the vote. Beating Quantum Computing was Rigetti Computing Inc. with 33% of the vote.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): Interest in Coinbase is surging over the last week and it could be related to company announcements and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42981650/why-cryptos-election-spending-spree-signals-a-push-for-regulatory-overhaul"> the pending inauguration</a> of President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20.

The price of Bitcoin is trading higher ahead of Trump's inauguration and Coinbase shares are up over 20% in the last five days.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent011725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="999" height="505" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/17144309/Screenshot-302.png" alt="" class="wp-image-739891" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/17144309/Screenshot-302.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/17144309/Screenshot-302-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/17144309/Screenshot-302-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></figure>
Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>): The specialty grocery retailer returns to the Stock Market Index after an appearance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/41856335/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-42">back in November</a>. The company, which has over 400 stores in 23 states, will report fourth-quarter financial results likely in February. Analysts expect the company to show earnings per share and revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. The company has beaten analyst estimates for both earnings per share and revenue in three straight quarters. Investors may be looking to the specialty retailer as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could become the next leader of the Department of Health and Human Services under Trump's administration. Kennedy could push for healthier food options for consumers, which could benefit retailers specializing in healthy food options like Sprouts.

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>): The media company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes as the company has some good news and could also be on watch as an enemy of Trump. Comcast broadcast one of the opening round games of the 2024 NFL Playoffs with the match between the Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43013529/amazon-scores-record-with-steelers-ravens-nfl-playoffs-stream-how-game-stacks-up-with-other-media-streamers">having an average</a> of 29 million viewers. Comcast will also air the second-round matchup of the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. ET. Comcast and its stock could also be drawing attention with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42798568/the-death-of-net-neutrality-winners-losers-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-the-interne">death of net neutrality</a>, which could benefit the company.
Comcast also caught the attention of Trump recently with the incoming president threatening the company after late-night talk show host Seth Meyers criticized him.
"Comcast should pay a BIG price," Trump said, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/01/trump-seth-meyers-nbc-comcast-1236256452/">Deadline</a>.
Trump blasted Comcast previously and threatened to pull their FCC license. Trump's appointee to lead the FCC is Brendan Carr, who is considering challenging networks like Comcast's NBC for featuring Kamala Harris in a "Saturday Night Live" episode and not providing equal time to Trump.

Trader Notes: Bitcoin has reached the $105,000 mark, fueled by speculation that President-elect Donald Trump may announce a &#8220;Strategic&#8221; Bitcoin Reserve.
Economist Peter Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1880301563450913059">expressed</a> concerns, hoping Trump won't compromise the country&#8217;s integrity just to benefit Bitcoin donors. 
He warns that such a reserve could lead to higher inflation and a weaker economy.
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Bitcoin has broken out of a cup-and-handle pattern, suggesting a potential upside target of $276,400.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Chasing New Highs But XRP Dwindling: 'Weekend Probably Gives Alts Breathing Room,' Trader Says

Walgreens Boots Alliance's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NYSE">WBA</a>) short percent of float has fallen 19.94% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 77.33 million shares sold short, which is 10.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.03 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>Walgreens Boots Alliance Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737144920_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Walgreens Boots Alliance 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.

Watching Madrigal Pharmaceuticals; Shares Move Higher, Traders Circulate Unconfirmed Rumor of Takeover Speculation From M&A Blog

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41879587/from-16000-to-18-million-in-unrealized-gainsmillionaire-bonk-doge-trader-shares-update-if-you-cant-hold-you-wont-be-rich">Prominent crypto trader Unipcs</a> has argued that Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) flipping Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) this cycle is a real possibility, citing metrics and momentum as reasons for his thesis. 
What Happened: Unipcs contends that Solana has outperformed Ethereum in transaction volume and on-chain activity, positioning itself as a leader in blockchain adoption. 
It is rapidly becoming a hub for meme coin launches, with daily revenue and market activity starting to outpace Ethereum.
As the largest U.S.-originated blockchain, Solana is well-positioned to benefit from pro-crypto regulations expected under the new administration. 
Unipcs estimates a 50% chance of Solana flipping Ethereum during this cycle, particularly as retail activity and institutional interest grow.
With the bull market yet to peak and retail influx expected to amplify Solana's metrics, a major rally for SOL could rival XRP&#8217;s recent impressive run.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Unipcs <a href="https://x.com/theunipcs/status/1880288626585596313">explained</a> in a post on X on Friday that the best way to capitalize on Solana's growth is through Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>), its leading and recognized meme coin. 
Bonk, already listed on major platforms like Coinbase, Binance and Robinhood, is gaining traction through ecosystem products, staking incentives and token burns. 
When compared to Ethereum's leading meme coins like Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>), Bonk is significantly undervalued, according to Unipcs. 
SHIB with a $14.3 billion valuation is 6x larger, PEPE with $8.4 billion in market capitalization is 3.5x larger. 
Considering Solana's dominance this cycle, BONK is positioned as its best high beta meme coin play, the trader posited.

<h2>Get to Know Fastly Better</h2>
Fastly operates a content delivery network, which is necessary for entities to provide faster and more reliable online content. Fastly's strategy differs from traditional CDNs, which focus on locating servers in as many locations as possible to store copies of files that consumers most use. Fastly is in far fewer sites than traditional CDNs, but it houses servers in the most network-dense data centers. Instead of simply storing static content, it allows its customers to program on its platform, enabling edge computing and better service of the more dynamic content that was traditionally not well served by CDNs. Fastly gears its service to the largest, most sophisticated enterprises rather than small companies and generated nearly three fourths of its revenue in the United States in 2023.
<h3>Financial Insights: Fastly</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

Net Margin: Fastly's net margin lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of -27.71%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Fastly's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive -3.9% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of -2.57%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Fastly's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average. With a ratio of 0.43, the company relies less on debt financing, maintaining a healthier balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

The Analyst Verdict: Fastly In The Eyes Of 10 Experts

In the current market session, Lennox Intl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LII#NYSE">LII</a>) stock price is at $641.01, after a 0.29% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 3.38%, and in the past year, by 42.87%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737144033_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Lennox Intl P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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 29.48 in the Building Products industry, Lennox Intl Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 30.54. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Lennox Intl Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737144033_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On First Horizon Through 14 Analysts

President Joe Biden prioritized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/43054504/biden-commutes-sentences-of-nearly-2500-convicted-of-non-violent-drug-offenses-no-mention-of-cannabis-prisoners">freeing non-violent drug offenders</a> during his final few days in the White House, but TikTok? That's President-elect Donald Trump's problem now. 
According to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-trump-executive-order-1e95d9836bf6f8c0c245ed1c3234d968">Associated Press</a>, Biden has no intention of enforcing the ban, which takes effect on his last full day in office, Jan. 19, and one day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42995328/trump-inauguration-from-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-to-barack-obama-george-bush-and-bill-clinton-who-all-will-attend">before Trump&#8217;s inauguration</a>.
With a deadline looming, the app's fate lands in the hands of the so-called People's Bid for TikTok—backed by none other than Kevin O'Leary of &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; and billionaire Frank McCourt. Apparently, TikTok's U.S. assets are still up for grabs, but no word yet on the price tag or whether a deal can realistically get done <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">in a few days</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Joann Inc. is stitching together a bankruptcy plan for the second time within 12 months. The Ohio-based fabric and crafts retailer is seeking a buyer for its portfolio of some 800 stores. 
Gordon Brothers Retail Partners emerged as the &#8220;stalking horse&#8221; bidder, but Joann remains hopeful for better offers—perhaps from someone who knows how to thread the needle.
Previously, the 82-year-old retailer was under the stewardship of private equity firm Leonard Green &amp; Partners, which acquired it via a $1.6 billion leveraged buyout in 2011. The firm buried the company under a pile of debt (<a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/03/18/brick-and-mortar-meltdown-fells-another-retailer-joann-inc-files-for-bankruptcy-3-years-after-ipo/">reportedly</a> $921 million in long-term debt as of Oct. 31, 2020) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/03/20048728/ipo-preview-roblox-coupang-joann-lead-busy-week-of-offerings">sent it public in 2021</a>. 
Joann went private again in <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joann-bankruptcy-chapter-11-filing-75093d4032907c59a45e472dd4e23229">March</a> 2024 while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company managed to reduce its $1 billion total debt by about $500 million at the time.
Despite efforts to save itself last year, Joann is joining the growing quilt of recent retail casualties: Party City, Big Lots, LL Flooring, The Body Shop and The Container Store <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42710619/deal-dispatch-party-city-wraps-big-lots-goes-bust-container-store-continues">to name a few</a>.
Kirkland &amp; Ellis is handling legal matters, while Centerview Partners LLC offers financial advice. Alvarez &amp; Marsal North America, LLC is overseeing the restructuring process.
