<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.

Shares of companies within the broader industrial sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following softer-than-expected April inflation readings. Additionally, investors continue to weigh US-China trade progress and President Trump's Middle East trip.

Wall Street opened Tuesday with cautious gains after inflation data for April came in cooler than expected, calming investor concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45374267/inflation-eases-in-april-as-trumps-tariffs-dont-push-prices-higher">tariff-driven price spikes. </a>
April's inflation report showed consumer prices rising 2.3% year over year, slightly below the 2.4% forecast and down from the previous month's reading of 2.4%. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.2%, rebounding from March's 0.1% decline but missing expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, held steady at 2.8% annually—matching both March&#8217;s figure and economists' forecasts. Month over month, core prices rose 0.2%, a modest acceleration from March's 0.1% increase but still softer than the expected 0.3%.
Shelter remained a major contributor to inflation, rising 0.3% in April and accounting for over half of the monthly increase in the overall Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, several categories posted price declines, including airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication services and apparel.
Despite inflation coming in below forecasts, expectations for interest rate cuts held steady. Traders still see just an 8% chance of a cut in June, rising to 38% for July. Markets continue to price in a total of 60 basis points in rate reductions by year-end, well below the almost 75 basis points priced a week ago.
The Nasdaq 100 led major benchmarks, rising 0.37% and on track to open at its highest level in 10 weeks.

The company reported&nbsp;a sales decline of&nbsp;6.0%&nbsp;year-on-year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$3.66 billion, which is in line with the consensus.
The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower core organic sales, fewer selling days, and commodity deflation.
Core organic net sales decreased by&nbsp;8.1% (Y/Y), with a decline of 32.7% in Multi-Family and 5.9% in Single-Family. Meanwhile, Repair and Remodel/Other (R&amp;R) rose 3.6% Y/Y.&nbsp;
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased&nbsp;by 0.5% Y/Y. Gross profit fell&nbsp;14.2% Y/Y, while the margin contracted 290&nbsp;basis points to&nbsp;30.5% in the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased&nbsp;31.7% Y/Y&nbsp;to&nbsp;$369.2 million&nbsp;and the margin contracted 380&nbsp;basis points Y/Y to&nbsp;10.1%. Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.51 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of&nbsp;$1.37.</a>
Operating cash flow declined by $184.9 million to&nbsp;$132.3 million, and free cash flow was $45.0 million.
In the first quarter, Builders achieved around $17 million in productivity savings from operational excellence and supply chain efforts.
Buyback: In the first quarter, the company repurchased 0.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $131.51 per share for $12.8 million.
Along with the earnings, Builders FirstSource authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of common shares, which includes around $100 million remaining <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45129594/builders-firstsource-announces-500-million-share-repurchase-authorization" rel="noreferrer noopener">under its prior August 2024 authorization</a>.
Outlook: Builders FirstSource lowered its FY25 sales guidance to $16.05 billion-$17.05 billion (from $16.5 billion to $17.5 billion prior), vs. the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst estimate of $16.68 billion</a>.
The company expects Single-Family &#8220;starts&#8221; to be down mid-single digits, Multi-Family starts down mid-teens, and R&amp;R to be flat in FY25.
It anticipates one fewer selling day to decrease net sales by 0.4% in 2025.
