Agilent Technologies

Originally spun out of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, Agilent has evolved into a leading life science and diagnostic firm. Today, Agilent's measurement technologies serve a broad base of customers with its three operating segments: life science and applied tools, cross lab consisting of consumables and services related to life science and applied tools, and diagnostics and genomics. Over half of its sales are generated from the biopharmaceutical, chemical, and advanced materials end markets, which we view as the stickiest end markets, but it also supports clinical lab, environmental, forensics, food, academic, and government-related organizations. The company is geographically diverse, with operations in the US and China representing the largest country concentrations.

Expectations of a further 25 basis point rate cut in December have fallen to just 56% now, down from 75% a month ago, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group's FedWatch tool.

Insights From Analysts:
Wells Fargo analysts have expressed optimism about food inflation cooling down further over the coming weeks, but that it could be less noticeable now than it has been over the last two years.
"Few Americans may include a slower pace of food price growth on their list of things to be grateful for this year, but our team does expect consumer price inflation for food to continue to quiet down over time—just less noticeably than has been seen over the past two years," the analysts said in a recent note.
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, continued to remain bullish on equities.
"Various advance/decline lines show no major signs of deterioration. This continues to suggest the bull market is alive and well."

He added that investors who expect a correction after the S&amp;P 500 gained 20% for two years in a row do not have history on their side. In eight of the previous such instances, the S&amp;P 500 gained an average of 12.3% in the third year, according to data compiled by Detrick.

Nathan Peterson, Director of Derivatives Analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, laid <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/weekly-traders-outlook/">out</a> the thesis for market movements for the next week.
"Taking everything into consideration, bullish seasonality, bullish technicals, a strong fundamental backdrop and a friendly Fed leave me in the bullish camp for next week," Peterson said.
This week will have a shorter trading window due to Thanksgiving, which could mean lower volume but higher volatility.
"From a seasonality perspective, November is a bullish month for stocks and &#8216;Thanksgiving Week&#8217; tends to be an up week more often than not."

What's Next: Agilent Technologies's Earnings Preview

Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) will release earnings results for the fourth quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/A/earnings">closing bell, on Monday, Nov. 25.</a>
Analysts expect the Santa Clara, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.41 per share. That&#8217;s up from $1.38 per share in the year-ago period. Agilent projects to report quarterly revenue of $1.67 billion, compared to $1.69 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Oct. 1, Evercore ISI Group analyst Vijay Kumar maintained Agilent with an In-Line rating and raised the price target from $135 to $145.
Some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. Agilent currently offers an annual dividend yield of 0.75%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 24.8 cents per share (99.2 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Agilent, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Agilent's $0.992 dividend: $6,000 / $0.992 = 6,048 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $798,699 worth of Agilent, or 6,048 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.992 = 1,210 shares, or $159,793 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
A Price Action: Shares of Agilent gained by 2.7% to close at $132.06 on Thursday.

<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>Comparing Agilent 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>, Agilent Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) made the list for the first time. The Stock Whisper Index typically highlights only stocks and leaves the ETFs out. But each week, ETFs like the SPY, QQQ and sometimes other well-known ETFs see rising interest based on volatility. Schwab tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. It offers investors exposure to some of the largest U.S. companies that pay dividends and have a strong track record of paying out dividends. Top holdings in the ETF include Bristol Myers Squibb, Blackrock, Cisco Systems, Home Depot and Chevron.
With rising global tensions, macroeconomic uncertainties and the 2024 presidential election leaving some investors on edge, the ETF could be seeing increased interest thanks to its dividend income and positions in blue chip companies.

Reinsurance Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGA#NYSE">RGA</a>): The life and health reinsurance company saw increased interest over the week likely due to quarterly financial <a href="https://investor.rgare.com/news-releases/news-release-details/reinsurance-group-america-reports-record-third-quarter-results">results</a>.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Agilent Technologies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.07% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.24 million shares sold short, which is 1.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.78 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>A Look at Agilent Technologies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Agilent Technologies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 45.63 of the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
