The company recently reported that it has 24.31 million shares sold short, which is 4.98% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

Expert Outlook: Ingersoll Rand Through The Eyes Of 10 Analysts

Aflac's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFL#NYSE">AFL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.69% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.49 million shares sold short, which is 1.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.45 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.

<h3>Aflac Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746471620_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Aflac 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 Aflac'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Aflac's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.87%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is Aflac Gaining or Losing Market Support?

In the current market session, YETI Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YETI#NYSE">YETI</a>) share price is at $28.66, after a 0.62% drop. Over the past month, the stock went up by 6.26%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 18.90%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746471621_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does YETI Holdings 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. 
YETI Holdings has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 20.5 of the Leisure Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746471621_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.

So let's address the elephant in the room:
Are we already in a recession or not?
We think so.
We just received the Q1 2025 GDP print, the first contraction since 2022, at -0.3% QoQ.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="522" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12341" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-1.jpg 936w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-1-300x167.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-1-768x428.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
This decline was largely due to the frontloading of inventory ahead of the blanket tariffs. But there's more coming next week: a massive 35% drop in container imports to the Port of Los Angeles.
That's a big deal.
The Port of LA is the largest in the U.S., receiving the bulk of containers from China. This means inventories are already stockpiled…&nbsp; and any new imports will come in at higher costs, which get passed on to consumers.
Translation?
Prices on $AMZN and elsewhere are about to get more expensive, especially for anything manufactured or shipped from China.
Higher prices = sticky inflation.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="693" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12340" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image.jpg 936w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-300x222.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05184648/image-768x569.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
And with wage growth slowing well below the Fed Funds Rate, Americans will be squeezed… paying more with less money. More out, less in.
Can the Fed step in? Nope.
Friday's ADP jobs data surprised to the upside, which I believe is heavily skewed, and unemployment remains low. That leaves the Fed with its hands tied.
There's only one man who can stop this from spiraling…
Donald J. Trump.
If he doesn't back off the tariff war with China, we're looking at a manufactured recession by summer 2025.
So how do we protect our capital in all this chaos?
Well,&nbsp; I've weathered the fastest stock market drop in decades. The S&amp;P 500 is down -3.3% YTD, but my portfolio? Up +2.65%.
What's working? Cybersecurity and fintech.
These sectors are least exposed to tariffs… and I've been buying them aggressively during this historic drop.

Vertex stock is climbing steadily, with its share price of $504.31 cruising above its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages &#8211; a setup that keeps the broader trend strongly bullish. Despite a touch of selling pressure, the stock is still flashing bullish technical signals across the board.
The eight-day simple moving average is $500.01, while the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages are $491.04 and $492.45, respectively &#8211; all below the current price, confirming upward momentum. The 200-day simple moving average is further back at $471.59, reinforcing the long-term bullish outlook. Vertex's Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator clocks in at 4, suggesting that bullish momentum remains intact.
Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 57.46 &#8211; comfortably neutral. That means while the stock is rising, it's not yet overheating, giving bulls room to run before overbought concerns set in.
Vertex looks technically sound and bullish, but the mild selling pressure hints that bulls may need to stay patient and disciplined on the next leg higher.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vertex Analysts See Limited Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Buy stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $511.08.

Lionsgate Secures Court Approval For Studio And STARZ Businesses Split, Trading Expected To Begin On May 7

JP Morgan analyst Michael Rehaut reiterated an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Underweight rating</a> on the shares of Stanley Black &amp; Decker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>) on May 2 and lowered the price forecast from $93.00 to $60.00.
The analyst outlined the main insights following Stanley Black &amp; Decker's first-quarter earnings call. As for first-quarter fiscal 2025 performance, net sales declined 3%, though he said organic growth excluding currency impacts rose 1%, aligning with our 2% forecast and company expectations.
Demand for the professional segment remained healthy, while the consumer and DIY categories stayed weak.
The company lowered its 2025 operating earnings per share forecast to $4.50, down from the prior midpoint estimate of $5.25, largely due to an anticipated $0.75 per share drag from tariffs.
On the revenue front, SWK now expects total and organic sales (excluding foreign exchange) to grow at a low single-digit pace, slightly better than previous guidance, which had called for flat growth with a ±150 basis point range.

Organic growth expectations now sit in the low to mid-single digits, supported by mid-single-digit pricing increases driven mainly by tariffs compared to earlier guidance of modest pricing impact. 
To mitigate tariff effects, SWK introduced a high single-digit average price hike across U.S. retail channels in April and plans another price increase at the beginning of the third quarter, which could exceed the April hike. 
The company estimates annualized gross tariff exposure at $1.7 billion, with $900 million to $1.1 billion hitting in 2025. Price increases are expected to offset most of this, except for an estimated $140 million, mostly concentrated in the second quarter due to timing mismatches, translating to roughly $0.75 per share in impact.
Given these developments, the analyst has reduced 2025 and 2026 operating EPS estimates to $3.72 and $5.24, respectively, from $5.05 and $6.17. 
Looking at the long term, the company plans to shift its supply chain over the next 12 to 24 months to reduce tariff exposure.
That includes a complete exit from China and an increase in sourcing compliant with USMCA regulations via operations in Mexico, which the company described as a relatively straightforward process.
While the analyst still sees room for improved earnings visibility as home sales and remodeling activity stabilize over the next one to two years, the analyst&#8217;s more cautious forecast justifies a lower valuation. 
Price Action: SWK shares traded lower by 1.89% at $60.23 at last check on Monday.

Tariffs Take Toll On Stanley Black & Decker's 2025 Forecast, Says Analyst

Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, has offered his first detailed account of his prison experience, describing the mental and emotional strain, the fear he felt upon arrival and the realities of being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41083961/changpeng-cz-zhaos-new-chapter-after-release-from-prison-will-continue-investing-in-blockc">confined with violent offenders.</a>
What Happened: "I would not wish that experience on anyone," he said in an <a href="https://x.com/farokh/status/1919425261801447629">interview</a> on Farouk Radio at the Token 2049 conference, reflecting on his incarceration following Binance's settlement with U.S. authorities.
He recalled being placed in a low-security U.S. prison alongside violent offenders. 
"My celly has a 30-year sentence for murdering two guys at once," he said. "I was scared… the minute you walk in, there are guys with tattoos, big, buffy guys, face tattoos, head tattoos. It's not fun."
Although Zhao had expected to serve in a minimum-security facility due to the non-violent nature of his offense, his non-U.S. citizenship placed him in a harsher environment. 
"Once you&#8217;re in prison, the prison guys don't care who you are," he said. "They treat you like anyone else."
The psychological toll, he said, was heavier than the physical hardship. 
"The most painful thing was mentally. I was always worried they might keep me longer than four months," he said, referencing the possibility of additional charges or detainers. "It becomes Hotel California. You can check in, but you can never check out."
Despite the challenges, Zhao said the experience reshaped his priorities. 
"Health is most important, then family," he said. "You don't miss the money. You don't miss the work. You miss your family."
He's now focused on advising founders, building an education platform, and spending high-quality time with his family. "Even if it's not a lot of time, I don't look at my phone. It's deliberate now."

Why It Matters: Zhao also addressed the crypto industry's current moment, especially the emergence of meme coins, real-world assets (RWAs) and decentralized science (DeSci).
He acknowledged meme coins&#8217; grip on retail attention, but warned of their speculative nature. "Ninety-nine point nine percent of them will fail," he said. "It's taking attention away from utility projects."
He sees more promise in AI, DeSci and RWAs.
"AI will marry blockchain. AI is a post-blockchain technology," he said. "DeSci can be huge, using smart contracts to fund science on milestones. That's how we accelerate drug discovery, biology research."
Zhao, who stepped down from Binance amid regulatory pressure, also expressed cautious optimism about the shift in U.S. policy under the current administration. 
"I didn't expect the U.S. to do a 180 in 100 days," he said. "President Trump is pro-crypto, not just in words, in action. That changes everything."
Referring to recent news reports, including a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://x.com/cz_binance/status/1911017852255048110">story</a> alleging he cooperated with authorities to reduce his sentence, Zhao denied receiving special treatment.
"I was told I was being centrally monitored, but the other inmates and guards didn't know who I was," he said. "That article was just a hit job."
Zhao has applied for a presidential pardon but said it's out of his hands. "You can't lobby for it, but I wouldn't mind it."
Asked whether he would return to lead Binance, Zhao was firm: "That chapter is closed. I'm a one-shot pony, and I'm good with that."

Encouraged by positive trade news and a surprisingly strong beginning to earnings season, the S&amp;P 500 recorded its second consecutive weekly gain — its longest winning run since May 2024. Tech giants Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) beat forecasts, with Microsoft recording a record week. Meanwhile, deflating inflation, robust jobs data and tariff anxiety kept the surroundings abuzz.
In contrast to this macro tailwind, a few leveraged and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">thematic ETFs took center stage</a> with spectacular gains:
Defiance Daily Target 2X Long HIMS ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMZ#NASDAQ">HIMZ</a>) was the top performer with a stunning 91.3% weekly jump, fueled by increased investor appetite for telehealth and speculative momentum. New weight-loss medications and sustained demand from the underlying company, Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>), drove the rally.
MAX Airlines 3X Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETU#NYSE">JETU</a>) rose 16.2% as airline shares took off on tailwinds from an uptick in a few airline stocks.
MicroSectors FANG+ 3 Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNGB#NYSE">FNGB</a>) jumped 13.2%, boosted by mega-cap tech outperformance.
United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) surged 10.2% on inventory drawdowns that reignited gas bulls. A drop in production output and record LNG exports led the gains, <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/natural-gas#:~:text=Natural%20gas%20is%20expected%20to,4.26%20in%2012%20months%20time.">according </a>to Trading Economics.
Direxion Daily Uranium Bull 2X ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URAA#NYSE">URAA</a>) rose 6%, as nuclear power talk and supply issues stoked demand for the uranium sector. The fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S., which was supposed to happen on Saturday, was postponed, bringing the sector into the spotlight.
The ETF leaderboard indicates investors aren&#8217;t only riding the rally — they&#8217;re aiming for high-octane names in spaces with both narrative pull and near-term catalysts.

Wall Street mounted a robust recovery, erasing losses from the Trump administration&#8217;s April 2 tariff shock, due to positive trade developments and a surprisingly robust start to earnings season.
Tech giants beat forecasts, with Microsoft standing out the brightest. The S&amp;P 500 recorded a second weekly gain, its best run since May 2024.

Industrials and tech drove the rally; energy stocks fell as oil prices fell to $58, oil&#8217;s second-worst week this year. OPEC+ supply speculation and Trump saber-rattling over Iranian oil did not boost crude.
Macroeconomic news was mixed: GDP decreased 0.3% (vs. an expected 0.4% rise), yet reassuring jobs (177,000 nonfarm payrolls vs. 130,000 anticipated) and softening inflation provided cheer. Core PCE inflation came down to 2.6%.
Now, everyone&#8217;s eye is on the next Fed meeting. The rates will likely stay put, yet Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s commentary, particularly post-Trump&#8217;s renewed rate-cut pressure, is the big draw.
