Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Shares of energy companies are trading higher amid a rise in oil after the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. Also, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a speech to the UN, mentioned Hezbollah and said his country has "every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely."

<p>In the current session, <strong>Civitas Resources Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIVI#NYSE">CIVI</a>)</strong> is trading at $50.51, after a <strong>1.64%</strong> drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by <strong>20.29%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>38.59%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. </p>

<h3>Evaluating Civitas Resources P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Civitas Resources has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>17.08</strong> of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727372714_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>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. </p>
