Looking Into Howard Hughes Holdings's Recent Short Interest

Opendoor Technologies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NYSE">OPEN</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.46% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 73.67 million shares sold short, which is 12.19% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.79 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Opendoor 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 Opendoor 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>, Opendoor Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.66%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

M&amp;T Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>): The regional bank saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which comes ahead of the company's fourth-quarter financial results. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $3.73, up from $2.81 in last year's fourth quarter and to report revenue of $2.34 billion, up from $2.30 billion in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share in seven of the last 10 quarters for each. Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MTB/analyst-ratings">have spoken positively </a>of regional banks recently with Truist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/01/42871340/regional-banks-can-thrive-despite-big-bank-dominance-truist-securities-highlights-three-key-paths-for-thriving-regional-banks">initiating the stock</a> with a Buy rating and $233 price target. Barclays maintained an Equal-weight rating and raised the price target from $228 to $235. Truist said regional banks have differentiated growth, disciplined capital allocation and can navigate to the evolving landscape.

DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>): The sports betting and online gaming company saw increased interest from readers during the week, which comes as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42829221/how-to-watch-nfl-playoffs-super-bowl-lix-betting-odds-will-history-be-made-by-chiefs-or-lions"> the NFL Playoffs </a>are set to kick off on Jan. 11. The NFL remains one of the most bet on sports worldwide and a major source of revenue for DraftKings. Peer company Flutter recently lowered guidance for the full fiscal year due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42884959/detroit-lions-take-a-bite-out-of-sportsbooks-analyst-advises-patience-after-flutter-cuts-guidance">unfavorable NFL outcomes</a>, something DraftKings had already done and commented on. DraftKings could be getting more attention as the company got ahead of the guidance and NFL warnings earlier than peers and shares could now look attractive. DraftKings shares were up around 10% over the last five days and the stock is up around 18% over the last year.

TJX Companies (NYE:TJX): The discount retailer, which owns the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods brands, saw increased interest during the week.

Insmed Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INSM#NASDAQ">INSM</a>): The biopharmaceutical company saw increased interest after <a href="https://investor.insmed.com/2025-01-10-Insmed-Provides-Business-Update-at-43rd-Annual-J-P-Morgan-Healthcare-Conference">sharing </a>a business update at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, including 2025 guidance. The company said ARIKAYCE, its first commercial product, is expected to have full year revenue of $363.7 million globally, including $254.8 million in the United States. Guidance for ARIKAYCE for 2025 was set at a range of $405 million to $425 million. Insmed also shared an update on its other pipeline drugs with an NDA submitted in December 2024 for Brensocatib, expected to launch in the third quarter of 2025. The company also announced several other pipeline updates, which may have investors taking a new look at the stock. Insmed previously appeared on the Stock Whisper Index<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> after reporting third-quarter financial results and receiving several analyst updates. Shares fell during the week, but are up over 130% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href=" https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent011025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="504" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10145253/Screenshot-294.png" alt="" class="wp-image-728864" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10145253/Screenshot-294.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10145253/Screenshot-294-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10145253/Screenshot-294-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Trane Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>): The commercial and residential HVAC company appears on the list after seeing a boost in interest from readers. The company announced it will report fourth-quarter financial results on Jan. 30. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $2.52, up from $2.17 in last year's fourth quarter and to report revenue of $4.77 billion, up from $4.43 billion in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten earnings estimates in more than 10 straight quarters and beaten revenue estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters, including three straight quarters. Trane Technologies recently <a href="https://investors.tranetechnologies.com/news-and-events/news-releases/news-release-details/2025/Trane-Technologies-Completes-Acquisition-of-BrainBox-AI/default.aspx">announced </a>the closing of its acquisition of BrainBox AI, which it announced in December 2024. Brain Box AI is a pioneer in autonomous HVAC controls and generative AI building technology, according to the announcement. While HVAC might not be a sector that jumps out as an AI use case, the company's acquisition could be the reason why readers are paying more attention to Trane Technologies. Analysts were mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TT/analyst-ratings">in recent weeks </a>with Wells Fargo lowering the price target, RBC raising the price target and Barclays maintaining a Buy rating and $500 price target.

The December jobs report upended market expectations, forcing top Wall Street investment banks to abandon their forecast for further interest rate cuts in 2025. A labor market exceeding even the most optimistic estimates has traders now bracing for the unthinkable: the return <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">of interest rate hikes.</a>
In a note released Friday, Bank of America economist Aditya Bhave said the bank no longer expects any additional rate cuts this year, a sharp U-turn from its prior prediction of two reductions. 
"The December jobs report was extremely solid across the board," Bhave said, adding, "We think this A+ jobs report closes the door for additional rate cuts."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">December&#8217;s A+ Jobs Report</h1>
The December nonfarm payrolls figure came in at 256,000, far exceeding the bank's own expectations of 175,000 and crushing the consensus estimate of 160,000. The robust labor market data signals continued resilience in the U.S. economy, with wage growth outpacing inflation and supporting purchasing power.
Bank of America also highlighted the strength of income growth, with the aggregate payrolls index — a proxy for total wage income — rising 0.4% month-over-month and 5.4% on a three-month annualized basis.
With wages growing faster than prices, consumers retain significant spending power, offsetting fears of an economic slowdown, according to the investment bank. 
Yet, while this is good news for the U.S. consumer, it is less so the Federal Reserve grappling with a resurgence in price pressures. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;The Conversation Should Move To Hikes&#8217;</h1>
Bhave said inflation remains "above target" and warned that risks are skewed to the upside, noting robust economic activity as a key factor. 
"The conversation should move to hikes," he said, indicating that the Federal Reserve could raise rates if core inflation exceeds 3% or long-term inflation expectations lose its anchor.
This marks a dramatic shift in tone, with Bank of America not only ruling out further easing despite earlier predictions but also flagging the potential risk of a new hiking period. 
In November 2024, the core Personal Consumption Expenditure price index — Fed&#8217;s favorite inflation gauge — was up 2.8% annually.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Betting On A Long Wait</h1>
Traders in the fed funds futures market have drastically recalibrated their expectations. Prior to the jobs report, a rate cut in the first quarter of 2025 was seen as a distinct possibility.
Now, the odds of a cut by the Fed's March meeting have dwindled to just 23%, according to CME's FedWatch tool.
The first meeting with significant probabilities of a cut now appears to be in July, with a 70% chance of a 25-basis-point reduction. Even then, a fully priced-in rate cut is unlikely until October 2025, fed futures indicate.
The recalibration of interest rate cuts is producing shockwaves across markets. On Friday, indices witnessed notable declines, with the S&amp;P 500 — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — down by 1.4% during afternoon trading in New York.
Meanwhile, speculation over a potential rate hike is gaining momentum.
On Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction platform, the market for "Next Fed rate hike?" has surged to a 33% probability of an increase in the fed funds rate by Dec. 31, 2025, up sharply from 20% before the jobs report. For every dollar wagered on "Yes," the payout now stands at $3.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin In The Green On Friday: 'Weekend Altcoin Season' Coming?

President Joe Biden's administration on Friday renewed deportation relief that currently covers 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine and Sudan, a move that would delay any attempts by President-elect Donald Trump to sunset those protections.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended enrollment in the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for those nations, giving those immigrants a deportation reprieve and access to work permits for an additional 18 months.
Biden, a Democrat, greatly increased the number of immigrants eligible for TPS since taking office in 2021. The status, which is available to people whose home country has experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict or other extraordinary event, now covers more than 1 million people from 17 nations.
Trump, a Republican returning to the White House on Jan. 20, sought to end most TPS enrollment during his 2017-2021 term in office but was stymied by U.S. courts. Trump won another term in office promising a vast immigration crackdown and again <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3CE1GR">is expected</a> to try to terminate most TPS protections.
Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Biden administration's moves on Friday stopped short of more sweeping demands by activists and some Democrats to grant TPS to more recently arrived immigrants and those from other nations.
Todd Schulte, president of advocacy group FWD.us, said the extensions would allow hundreds of thousands of people to continue "contributing to their communities, supporting their families, and strengthening the economy" but also urged Biden to expand TPS to Nicaragua and other nations.
Some 600,000 Venezuelans are eligible for TPS, the biggest population in the program.
The Biden administration, which <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N2L62GE">first granted</a> Venezuelans the status in 2021, cited high levels of crime in Venezuela related to political and economic instability under President Nicolas Maduro, who was <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3O50TP">sworn in</a> for a third term on Friday.
