Cigna Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.67 million shares sold short, which is 1.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Cigna Group'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cigna Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Agilent Technologies?

Managing a company's finances is a complex task, and having one person with exclusive access to a business's primary bank account can pose serious risks. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh-GzyApi00">recent episode</a> of "EntreLeadership," financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44016490/21-year-old-pro-investor-challenges-dave-ramsey-show-hosts-on-index-funds-vs-mutual-funds-80-of-mutual-funds-dont-beat-the-market">Dave Ramsey</a> addressed a concern from Emery, a CFO at a $50 million home services company, who found himself in a difficult situation: the company's long-time controller had sole access to critical financial accounts and was resistant to change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Identifying the Problem</h2>
Emery explained that his company, with 200 employees, had relied on the same controller for 20 years. While he respected her tenure, her unwillingness to transition from cash-based to accrual accounting was becoming a major issue. Additionally, she retained control of bank accounts, account logins, and key business processes, making it difficult for the company to move forward without significant disruption.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a></li>
</ul>
Ramsey immediately pointed out the dangers of having only one person with access to such crucial financial information. "If she got hit by a car, y'all'd be screwed," he said bluntly. The risk wasn't just about trust—it was about ensuring business continuity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Implementing a Transition Plan</h2>
Ramsey advised that the first step should be to immediately establish redundancy in the company's financial access. He suggested Emery and the CEO schedule an urgent meeting with the controller to change the situation right away.
He advised taking these steps:
<ul>
<li>Gain Immediate Access: Both the CFO and CEO should obtain login credentials, passwords, and signatures for all business accounts within 24 hours.</li>
<li>Document Financial Processes: The controller should outline key processes, including how vendor payments are handled and how incoming cash is applied.</li>
<li>Apologize, but Be Firm: Rather than framing this as a personal attack, leadership should acknowledge that the company's system was flawed from the beginning and now needed fixing.</li>
<li>Separate the Financial Fix from Performance Issues: Ramsey emphasized that the controller's attitude and reluctance to change is a separate issue and resolving the financial access problem had to come first.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preparing for Future Financial Security</h2>
Beyond solving the immediate issue, Ramsey stressed the importance of never allowing a similar situation to develop again. A business should always have multiple authorized individuals with financial access to prevent bottlenecks, internal power struggles, or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759664/trump-investigates-u-s-debt-for-fraud-suggests-treasury-payments-might-not-count">potential fraud</a>.
Another key takeaway was the company's need to transition to accrual accounting. Ramsey noted that businesses earning $50 million in revenue are required by the IRS to use accrual accounting for tax purposes. More importantly, accrual accounting provides a clearer picture of a company's financial health, helping with inventory management and strategic planning.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>
The lesson from this situation is clear: no single person should have sole financial control in a company of any size, let alone one generating $50 million in revenue. By implementing stronger financial controls, documenting key processes, and ensuring multiple team members have access to critical accounts, businesses can avoid unnecessary risks and ensure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43741261/how-superior-customer-experience-drives-revenue-growth-in-the-financial-sector">smooth financial operations</a>.
For business owners and financial leaders, Ramsey's advice serves as a crucial reminder: always build systems that protect the company—not just the people within it.

President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent crypto reserve plan has sparked discontent among his tech community supporters. The plan, announced on Sunday, has led to a significant divide among his tech allies.
What Happened:  The crypto enthusiasts have not welcomed President Trump&#8217;s decision to establish a strategic crypto reserve for the U.S., CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/pro-trump-techies-enraged-by-crypto-reserve-plan-causing-early-rift.html">reported</a> on Tuesday. The reserve will comprise not only Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) but also other digital currencies such as Ether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Solana&#8217;s SOL token (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), and Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>).
Trump&#8217;s initial moves to cut regulations and form a digital assets working group were applauded. However, this recent move is seen as an overreach. The tech community had anticipated an exclusive strategic Bitcoin reserve, which would involve purchasing Bitcoin with cash, a decentralized currency seen as a viable alternative to hard money.
Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of crypto exchange Gemini, stated, "I have nothing against XRP, SOL, or ADA but I do not think they are suitable for a Strategic Reserve."&nbsp;Winklevoss had supported Trump during his election campaign.
Explaining the issue with other coins, &nbsp;Alexander Blume, CEO of Two Prime said, "They're not scarce in the same way and they're not decentralized in the same way. So it reduces the value and signal of creating a Bitcoin reserve.&#8221;
The decision to include riskier assets in the reserve has faced criticism. Detractors argue that this could potentially enhance&nbsp;the net worth of a&nbsp;select group of coin owners, using U.S. taxpayer money. This is particularly troubling to those who support Elon Musk&#8216;s mission to decrease government spending at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Creator of blockchain startup Civic, Vinny Lingham wrote on X, "Call me old fashioned but I don't think the government should be pumping our crypto bags with taxpayer money while we are running a near $2trn deficit."

Why It Matters: Previously, analysts at Bernstein <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44077079/analysts-doubt-us-crypto-reserve-expansion-beyond-bitcoin-cite-funding-challenges">expressed doubts </a>about the U.S. expanding its crypto reserve beyond Bitcoin due to funding challenges, as reported. The rationale for including other assets remains unclear.
On the other hand, Strategy&#8217;s Michael Saylor told CNBC that it was no surprise that the reserve included other cryptocurrencies too. "There's no way to interpret this other than this is bullish for Bitcoin and bullish for the entire U.S. crypto industry," stated Saylor.
To add to the concerns, David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44100824/china-working-behind-closed-doors-to-create-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-says-bitcoiner-who-orange-pilled-trump">China was secretly </a>discussing&nbsp;the creation of a strategic&nbsp;Bitcoin reserve. This could potentially put the U.S. at a strategic disadvantage if it does not focus on Bitcoin.
After a weekend rally, crypto prices on Monday witnessed a significant decline. Bitcoin dropped about 9%, while Ether fell 15%. XRP and SOL also witnessed substantial drops. This decline is believed to be linked to President Trump&#8217;s confirmation of upcoming tariffs.

Shares of Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) are trading lower in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket on Tuesday</a> after the fourth-quarter FY24 earnings.
The company reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44103957/target-corporation-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter sales decline </a>of 3.1% year-on-year to $30.91 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $30.84 billion.
Comparable sales increased 1.5% in the fourth quarter, reflecting strong traffic and digital performance. Digital comparable sales grew 8.7%.
Adjusted EPS of $2.41 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus</a> estimate of $2.26.
Gross margin for the quarter contracted by 40 basis points to 26.2%, reflecting higher digital fulfillment and supply chain costs and higher promotional and clearance markdown rates.
Operating&nbsp;income margin rate of 4.7% was 110 basis points lower than last year, and the&nbsp;operating income for the quarter plunged 21.3% to $1.47 billion.
The&nbsp;company held $4.7 billion in cash and equivalents&nbsp;as of February 1.&nbsp;Operating cash flow for twelve months totaled $7.4 billion.

Inventory as of February was $12.74 billion, compared to $11.8 billion last year. The company paid dividends of $513 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $508 million last year.
As of the end of the fourth quarter, TGT had approximately&nbsp;$8.7 billion&nbsp;of remaining capacity under the repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in&nbsp;August 2021.
&#8220;Our team grew traffic and delivered better-than-expected sales and profitability in our biggest quarter of the year,&#8221;&nbsp;said chair and chief executive officer Brian Cornell.
&#8220;Results were led by strong performance in Beauty, Apparel, Entertainment, Sporting Goods and Toys. As we look ahead, our continued investments in digital capabilities, stores and supply chain—combined with a focus on newness, value, speed and reliability—will further differentiate our one-of-a-kind physical and digital shopping experience.&#8221;
Outlook: Target expects FY25 adjusted EPS of $8.80 – $9.80 versus an estimate of $9.31. It sees comparable sales to be flat. The company sees FY25 sales growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">to be around 1%.</a>
Due to continued consumer uncertainty, a slight drop in February net sales, tariff instability, and the anticipated timing of certain expenses throughout the fiscal year, the company expects to face significant year-over-year profit challenges in the first quarter compared to the rest of the year.
&#8220;During February, we saw record performance around Valentines Day. However, our topline performance for the month was soft, as uncharacteristically cold weather across the U.S. affected apparel sales, and declining consumer confidence impacted our discretionary assortment overall,&#8221; said&nbsp;Jim Lee, chief financial officer.
Price Action: TGT shares traded lower by 1.88% at $118.49 in premarket at last check Tuesday.
