After suffering a recent earnings miss combined with a challenging economic backdrop, shares of recreational vehicle provider Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WGO#NYSE">WGO</a>) have printed gobs of red ink over the trailing month. Nevertheless, historical data reveals that investors tend to view bouts of unusual volatility as a buying opportunity, thus making the case for bullish speculation.
First, one of the main contributors to the downside in WGO stock centers on the underlying company's fiscal-first-quarter results. Winnebago <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42615254/winnebago-industries-stock-falls-after-q1-earnings-miss-amid-challenging-marine-operating-environment">reported an adjusted loss per share of 3 cents</a>, badly missing analysts' consensus view of 20 cents. Further, revenue slipped 18% on a year-over-year basis to $625.6 million, also missing the estimated target of $672.232 million.
Second, management provided additional context, but this failed to bolster investor confidence. "As expected, the RV and marine operating environment remained challenging in the first quarter, marked by subdued consumer demand and a cautious dealer network reluctant to make significant commitments on new orders ahead of the historically slow winter season," said President and CEO Michael Happe.
Nevertheless, the head executive stated that the company anticipates a rise in demand as the RV and marine markets enter the more sales-friendly spring season. To be fair, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42654183/is-winnebago-industries-steering-towards-a-turnaround-in-h2-analysts-are-split">analyst views on a turnaround for WGO stock are split</a>. However, a fundamental argument for upside speculation does exist.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Trends Favor WGO Stock as a Value Play</h2>
Under normal market circumstances, Winnebago stock tends to carry a neutral trajectory. Specifically, over the trailing five years, the odds that on any given Friday, WGO would generate a positive return relative to Monday's opening price comes in at 50.2%. This figure is calculated by dividing the number of positive weeks over the total number of weeks in the dataset (i.e. last five years).
However, this baseline metric doesn't reveal the emotional shifts in sentiment that may occur during periods of unusual volatility. In other words, pricing events that extend multiple standard deviations below the mean could impact the fear-greed continuum much more greatly than normal market sessions. Therefore, data-driven investors may be better served with a Bayesian inference to calculate conditional probabilities.
Last week, WGO stock lost 9.49% of its market value, which is a rare occurrence. In the past five years, there have only been 14 instances (not including last week) where WGO lost 9.49% or worse. Interestingly, eight of the following weeks saw a positive return or a success ratio of 57.14%.
Additional context makes Winnebago even more enticing. Four of the weekly losses totaling 9.49% or worse occurred in February and March of 2020. Presumably, most investors agree that COVID-19 represents a unique market impact that's unlikely to materialize again anytime soon.
Taking out the impact of COVID-19, the success ratio improves to 70%, with 10 weeks seeing a loss of 9.49% or worse and seven of the following weeks resulting in a positive return.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bull Call Spread Beckons</h2>
Considering investors&#8217; tendency to buy the dip in WGO stock, speculators may want to consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread#:~:text=A%20bull%20call%20spread%20involves,expires%20on%20the%20same%20date.">bull call spreads</a> of Winnebago shares. This options strategy involves buying a call and simultaneously selling a call, both for the same expiration date. The idea is to take the credit from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call, thus discounting the long position.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="374" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1024x374.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-708024" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1024x374.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-300x110.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-768x281.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1536x562.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain.jpg 1578w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
For WGO stock, the next available options chain expires on Jan. 17, 2025. Given the skepticism surrounding Winnebago's business and comeback intentions, market makers are currently providing attractive pricing for bull call spreads.
For example, the Jan. 17 47.50/50.00 bull call spread — buy the $47.50 call, simultaneously sell the $50 call — carries a net debit of $125 after applying the options multiplier. Should WGO stock hit or exceed the short call strike price of $50, the payout is the difference between the strike prices minus the net debit paid or $125.
In other words, within a few weeks, bullish speculators have the opportunity to pocket a 100% payout. That's an enticing proposition, given that, statistically, investors tend to load the boat when WGO stock encounters unusually steep volatility.

<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 Paylocity Holding'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>, Paylocity Holding's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.68%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

An endorsement of a weight-loss drug by world's richest man Elon Musk could prove beneficial in the battle between two health care companies seeing revenue growth and soaring stock prices as interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss-drug">weight-loss drugs grows.</a>
What Happened: A post from Musk on Christmas shared his latest take on weight-loss drugs and could provide a suggestion to anyone<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42291702/obesity-drug-wars-heat-up-amgen-challenges-eli-lilly-novos-dominance"> trying to decide</a> between Eli Lilly's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Mounjaro and Novo Nordisk's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Ozempic for weight-loss treatment.
The <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1872086971557761348">post </a>from Musk called himself "Ozempic Santa." Despite the post labeled with Ozempic, Musk admitted in the comments that it is actually Mounjaro that he has taken for weight-loss support.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Ozempic Santa <a href="https://t.co/7YECSNpWoz">pic.twitter.com/7YECSNpWoz</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
"Technically, Mounjaro, but that doesn't have the same ring to it," Musk tweeted.
Mounjaro and Ozempic are both GLP-1 receptors that can be used to help people with diabetes. The treatments are also increasing in popularity as weight-loss options for people around the world.
When it comes to the two weight-loss drug options, Musk shared his personal takes on both.
"High doses of Ozempic made me fart &amp; burp like Barney from The Simpson's. Mounjaro seems to have fewer side effects and be more effective," Musk said.
With the Christmas posts, Musk has now shared publicly that he has tried Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy, another treatment from Novo Nordisk.
You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Musk's Christmas post, continues his public support for weight-loss drugs.
After &#8220;South Park&#8221; aired a special mocking weight-loss drugs as a luxury for the wealthy, the billionaire<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39019043/elon-musk-says-ozempic-will-become-very-cheap-after-new-comedy-special-paints-it-as-weight-loss-drug"> predicted these medications</a> would become more affordable over time.
In May, responding to a post about childhood obesity, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38634420/ozempic-ftw-elon-musk-touts-novo-nordisks-blockbuster-drug-as-solution-to-childhood-obesity-problem">Musk signaled support</a> for weight-loss medications by posting &#8220;Ozempic ftw&#8221; (for the win), suggesting these drugs could be a future tool against the epidemic.

Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump that Americans need more access to affordable weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro. Musk is arguing for more access while Kennedy, who Trump said will be nominated to lead the Health and Human Services, supports healthier eating to fight obesity.

Musk Tests Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy: Which Weight-Loss Drug Won Him Over?

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s second term could provide for-profit prisons an economic and regulatory boon amid Trump&#8217;s plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40744471/trumps-plan-to-ban-mortgages-for-undocumented-immigrants-sparks-debate-what-do-the-numbers-say">deport people living in the country illegally</a>.
Private Prisons: Corecivic Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and Geo Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) are the two largest private prison operators in the United States.
Geo Group owns 50 facilities and 64,502 beds across the U.S. concentrated in the South and Southwest. In 2023, CoreCivic operated 43 facilities with approximately 65,000 beds, according to company filings. The facilities include migrant detention centers and minimum-to-medium security prisons.
Private prisons are a topic of debate given their for-profit nature and alleged human rights abuses. <a href="https://news.uchicago.edu/story/us-prison-labor-programs-violate-fundamental-human-rights-new-report-finds">According</a> to the University of Chicago Law School, labor conditions in private prisons are poor. The majority of prisoners are forced to work, often for wages under a dollar per hour, or face solitary confinement or loss of visitation rights. The report found that prisoners produce at least $2 billion annually in goods and over $9 billion in maintenance services.
In August 2016, then-President Barack Obama announced a plan to reduce and eliminate the use of private prisons in the U.S. Following Trump&#8217;s inauguration for his first term in 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded Obama&#8217;s memorandum, <a href="https://www.bop.gov/resources/news/pdfs/20170224_doj_memo.pdf">saying</a> the decision &#8220;impaired the Bureau&#8217;s ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.&#8221; The stock prices of Geo and CoreCivic subsequently rallied over 30%.
As of July 2024, there <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf">were</a> 662,566 &#8220;noncitizens&#8221; with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals and 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
Trump&#8217;s Immigration Plan: Future immigration enforcement, an issue Trump made central to his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns, would require detention centers, perhaps operated by Geo and CoreCivic.
The ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration">found</a> in 2023 that over 90% of migrants detained by ICE were held in privately owned facilities.
In a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/politics/border-czar-homan-trump-deportation-plans/index.html">interview</a>, Tom Homan, Trump&#8217;s incoming border czar, said the government needs a minimum of 100,000 beds to carry out Trump&#8217;s immigration plan. This represents a more than 100% increase over current capacity. He also elaborated on the extent to which Trump will carry out deportation.
"I don't have a number. We want to arrest as many people as we can that are in the country illegally," Homan said. "If you're here illegally, you're not off the table. It's a violation of the law; it's a crime to enter this country illegally."
The American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration advocacy group, <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/mass-deportation">says</a> there were around 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally in 2022, roughly 3% of the country&#8217;s population. The council estimates that a deportation plan would cost at least $315 billion.
Why it Matters: Geo Group and CoreCivic also appear to be preparing for the future demand for detention centers. On Dec. 16, Geo Group announced a $70 million capital expenditure plan to expand ICE service capabilities.
In September, short-seller Andrew Left <a href="https://citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Geo-Group-093024.pdf">called</a> Geo Group the &#8220;default play&#8221; for a Trump presidency given his positions on immigration enforcement.
The market at large also seems convinced. Geo Group&#8217;s stock has risen over 86% since election day, while CoreCivic&#8217;s stock has risen over 58%.

Technical Analysis: Benzinga technical analysis shows Shiba Inu's RSI is oversold at 28.6. This suggests that the price has fallen significantly over a short period, with potential for a price rebound or reversal.
Traders may interpret an RSI below 30 as a signal to look for a buying opportunity, expecting the price to recover soon. However, technical indicators do not predict price action.
Meanwhile, the 200-day simple moving average is below the 50-day and 100-day SMAs, implying a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend. It indicates that the longer-term average price (200-day) is beginning to align with recent upward momentum, suggesting potential for sustained bullishness.
Statistics: Shibburn data shows the ecosystem burned 20.9 million SHIB in the past 24 hours, pushing the burn rate higher by 2,227.6%. 
Around 19 hours ago, a single transaction involved the burning of 13.1 million SHIB and around four hours ago, a single transaction burned 1 million SHIB coins.
Whale Alert data <a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1871955035837321658">shows</a> 2.88 trillion SHIB transferred from a Turkish exchange to an unknown wallet. 
BtcTurk responded that these transfers are part of wallet optimization efforts and fully managed by them, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume increasing by 169.9% in a single day. Shibariumscan data shows daily transactions spiked from 4.51 million to 4.74 million in a single day.

Shiba Inu Burn Rate Spikes 2,227%: What's Going On?

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) shares are trading lower Thursday driven by a Bitcoin pullback and investor reaction to the company's plans to issue additional shares to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42684275/microstrategy-portland-general-electric-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-thursdays-pre-market-session">fund further Bitcoin purchases.</a>
What To Know: In a filing with the SEC, the company proposed increasing its authorized Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.33 billion units and preferred stock from 5 million to over 1 billion units. This move is intended to support the company's strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, a cornerstone of its transition from software to cryptocurrency investment.
Bitcoin's recent volatility, with a peak near $100,000 and subsequent fluctuations, has added pressure on MicroStrategy's stock. The company recently acquired $561 million worth of Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to approximately $40 billion. However, its aggressive Bitcoin purchases and reliance on stock issuance to fund acquisitions have drawn investor scrutiny.
MicroStrategy shares have faced significant challenges, including a more than 37% decline from their all-time high and an 8.5% drop following their inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. The ongoing stock issuance and Bitcoin market volatility continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
MSTR Price Action: MicroStrategy shares were down 4.16% at $343.06 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Starbucks shares are trading higher following the end of a five-day barista strike.

Shares of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) are rising Thursday but they have run into resistance around the $3.25 level. There is a chance this resistance breaks and the stock<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42668333/tesla-model-x-lucid-gravity-or-rivian-r1s-which-three-row-electric-suv-is-a-better-buy"> keeps moving higher.</a>
Breakouts tend to be bullish. This is why our team of traders has made Lucid our Stock of the Day.
Markets are always trending. They are either going up, down, or sideways. If a market is trending higher the bulls are in control. If it is heading lower, the bears are in charge. If they go sideways, the bears and bulls have equal strength.
Sometimes, when the leadership changes from bears to bulls or bulls to bears, the price action can appear on a chart as a reversal pattern.
If the change occurs in one day, a reversal day pattern may appear. If it takes place over a few days, a V or Inverted V pattern may show up.

If the change is slow and steady over an extended time, it may create a rounded top or rounded bottom pattern.
As you can see on the chart, a rounded bottom formed in Lucid. The bulls slowly took charge in November and the stock has been rallying since.

There is resistance at the $3.25 level because it was previously support. Resistance forming at prices that had been support is a common occurrence in the stock market. It happens because of buyer's remorse.
There are traders and investors who purchased shares while they were at support who came to regret doing so when the support broke and the price moved lower. A number of these remorseful buyers decided to exit their positions if they can do so at breakeven.
As a result, now that the stock has rallied back to their buying prices, they are placing sell orders. This has caused resistance to form at the level that had been support.
If the stock gets above and stays above this resistance, traders will call it a breakout. This is a bullish dynamic because it shows that the sellers who created the resistance are out of the way. They have finished or canceled their orders.
This may set the stage for a move higher. Buyers will need to bid premiums to draw sellers back into the market. This could force the stock into a new uptrend and that may be about to happen with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LCID">Lucid</a>.
