<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 ZoomInfo Technologies 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 ZoomInfo Technologies'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>, ZoomInfo Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.85%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About ZoomInfo Technologies?

Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin maintained an Overweight rating on HubSpot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUBS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$570&nbsp;price target</a>.
Bracelin expects HubSpot to gain market share due to its highly efficient GTM effort combined with organic product development, which results in customer satisfaction and structurally higher gross dollar retention in the high 80s.
The analyst noted that the company is increasing, expanding at three times the market&#8217;s 11% rate over the last four years, yet its share is still a tiny 4%.

In the near term, HubSpot faces headwinds in macro and foreign exchange, but the company expects to recover quickly when the economy strengthens.
Bracelin attended the HubSpot customer conference (Inbound) and analyst day in Boston, MA, which left him incrementally positive that moving past the election or <a target="_blank" href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40932103/it-stocks-on-the-rise-after-u-s-fed-cuts-interest-rate" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest rate cuts</a> could spur new customer spending growth.
The analyst remains impressed with HubSpot&#8217;s product innovations, which drive substantial customer net additions and above-market growth despite two years of challenging macroeconomic conditions.
The company discussed a new series of AI product innovations, Bracelin flagged. Partner and customer discussions indicate incremental bullishness on demand trends moving into 2025.
The company also updated its long-term operating margin target from 20%-25% to 25%. Agency partners remain committed to the HubSpot platform and, despite a change in commission structure, continue to drive net new business for the company, the analyst noted.
CEO Yamini Rangan&#8217;s keynote address highlighted the key challenge for HubSpot&#8217;s customers over the last two years. Bracelin noted that this challenge is highly correlated to the recent interest rate cycle, making attracting and retaining customers more demanding.
Management continues accelerating AI product development with several new modules released at Inbound 2024.
During the keynote session, Bracelin noted that CTO and co-founder Dharmesh Shah highlighted HubSpot&#8217;s development of a &#8220;LinkedIn&#8221;-style interface where customers can search for and utilize AI agents for various use cases.
Based on partner discussions, the analyst summarized his conclusions. Near-term trends are improving, with July and August being better than May and June, Bracelin noted.
Bracelin spoke with several ZoomInfo Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZI#NASDAQ">ZI</a>) partners and direct customers, who indicated that more SMB churn could be on the company&#8217;s horizon.
During the formal investor session, management highlighted core tenets of the HubSpot platform, including ease of use, fast time to value, and a unified platform built organically, the analyst noted. The company discussed usage-based pricing for the first time, which could be on the horizon.
Bracelin projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $2.57 billion and EPS of $7.66.
Price Action: HUBS stock is up 4.86% at $528.52 at the last check on Thursday.

Wall Street Rebounds After Selloff, VIX Falls, Dollar Surges Against Yen: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZI#NASDAQ">ZI</a>) shares are falling Tuesday after the company reported worse-than-expected financial results for the second quarter and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40173882/zoominfo-technologies-q2-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-miss-soft-guidance-cfo-transition-and-more">announced a management transition.</a>
The Details:
ZoomInfo missed analysts&#8217; estimates on the top and bottom line for the quarter and guided third-quarter earnings and revenue to be below consensus estimates.&nbsp;
"In the second quarter, we implemented a number of initiatives to position the company for long-term success. Having successfully launched ZoomInfo Copilot, our AI-powered go-to-market platform, we are further accelerating a shift upmarket," said Henry Schuck, founder and CEO of ZoomInfo.&nbsp;

Several analysts slashed price targets on ZoomInfo after the print:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Truist Securities maintained its Hold rating and lowered the price target from $16 to $11.</li>
<li>RBC Capital analyst Rishi Jaluria maintained an Underperform rating and lowered the price target from $9 to $7.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler maintained its Neutral rating and lowered the price target from $14 to $10.</li>
<li>Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick maintained a Hold rating and lowered the price target from $17 to $12.</li>
<li>Barclays maintained ZoomInfo with an Equal-Weight and lowered the price target from $15 to $11.</li>
</ul>
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, ZoomInfo shares are dropping on heavy volume and trading at new 52-week lows.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is ZI A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZI">ZoomInfo Technologies</a>&#8216; page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. ZoomInfo Technologies does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZI">ZoomInfo Technologies</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
ZI Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, ZoomInfo shares are down 18.7% at $7.97 at the time of publication Tuesday.

ZoomInfo Analysts Slash Their Forecasts After Weak Q2 Results

Mizuho Maintains Neutral on ZoomInfo Technologies, Lowers Price Target to $9

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Bank of America <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+PT+Change/BofA+Securities+Downgrades+ZoomInfo+Technologies+%28ZI%29+to+Underperform/23554743.html">analyst</a> Koji Ikeda downgraded ZoomInfo (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zi-stock-quote/">ZI</a>) stock this morning after the company&rsquo;s disappointing second-quarter earnings call yesterday. Indeed, Koji lowered ZI stock&rsquo;s rating from &ldquo;buy&rdquo; to &ldquo;underperform&rdquo; while also dropping the price target to just $8 per share from $23.



Not alone, scores of investment banks are lowering their estimations of ZoomInfo&rsquo;s worth following the company&rsquo;s earnings miss. This includes the likes of Mizuho, RBC Capital, Needham, Piper Sandler, Deutsche Bank and others. All of these firms lowered their respective price targets on ZI stock this morning.



Reasonably so, ZoomInfo&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/zoominfo-zi-q2-earnings-revenues-212005687.html">Q2 earnings report</a> was, in a word, disastrous. The software and data company reported quarterly EPS of 17 cent, an earnings surprise miss of -29% compared with estimates for 24 cents. It&rsquo;s also a retreat from the company&rsquo;s EPS of 26 cents reported a year ago.



ZoomInfo also missed on revenue, reporting sales of $291.5 million. This came in lower than the company&rsquo;s year-ago revenue of $308.6 million as well as slightly lower than estimates.



<h2>ZI Stock Continues to Retract Following Earnings Miss</h2>



Unsurprisingly, investors have punished ZI stock in the wake of the company&rsquo;s earnings miss. Indeed, ZI is down 18% at the time of this writing, bringing the stock further into the red by 55% so far this year. That is well below the S&amp;P 500, which is currently up 11% year-to-date (YTD).



Still, the company did try to focus on the positives of its past quarter, including a new deal with Alphabet&rsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/goog-stock-quote/">GOOG</a>, NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/googl-stock-quote/">GOOGL</a>) Google.



&ldquo;The past 12 months have marked one of the most innovative periods in our company&rsquo;s history. As we successfully launched ZoomInfo Copilot, our AI-powered offering that combines our best-in-class proprietary data set with first-party data from our customers&rsquo; sales and marketing systems, and digital buying signals to offer sales teams the best insight about their buyers,&rdquo; said ZoomInfo <a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/zoominfo-technologies-inc-nasdaqzi-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcript-1330605/">founder and CEO Henry Schuck</a>.
