Mark Cuban took to the Bluesky platform on Dec. 1 to issue a dire warning about the future of housing affordability. His message? It's not interest rates that will be the top challenge for homeowners in the next few years – it's home insurance.
Cuban said:
"Home insurance in areas hit by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41222716/as-florida-prepares-for-one-of-deadliest-hurricanes-here-are-some-potential-stock-winners-and-lo">repetitive disasters</a> will be the number one housing affordability issue over the next four years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates.&nbsp;
Florida in particular is going to have huge problems."

</ul>
This comment wasn't made in a vacuum. Cuban was responding to a post by another Bluesky user, @AmyL, who painted a grim picture of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38046445/florida-governor-ron-desantis-raises-alarm-by-calling-citizens-insurance-not-solvent-as-an-explosive">housing market in Florida</a>:
"Here in Florida we have a housing crisis of our own – developers are building affordable homes all around, but many are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41353947/5-6-million-vacant-homes-in-america-are-we-misunderstanding-the-housing-crisis-experts-weigh-in">sitting empty</a> because people can't afford the necessary home insurance."
Cuban's concern is rooted in the growing number of natural disasters hitting regions like Florida, California and the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes, wildfires and flooding are becoming more frequent and severe, leading insurance companies to either raise premiums dramatically or pull out of these markets altogether.
See Also: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
Take Florida, for example. Once a haven for retirees and snowbirds, the state faces skyrocketing insurance premiums due to its vulnerability to hurricanes. Some insurers have stopped offering coverage, forcing homeowners to rely on state-backed programs that aren't always sufficient.
This has created a vicious cycle:
• Homes in disaster-prone areas are becoming increasingly expensive to insure.
• Without insurance, many prospective buyers are priced out, even if the home is "affordable."
• Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40837523/suze-orman-isnt-wasting-money-on-insurance-for-her-condo-im-not-paying-28-000-a-year-when-the-in">property damage risks</a> remain high, discouraging investment and leaving homes empty.
It's not just Florida. Here are some areas in the U.S. known for frequent natural disasters – and the ripple effects they're experiencing:
1. California: Wildfires have devastated entire communities, leading to billions in damages and skyrocketing premiums.
2. Texas: Hurricanes, flooding and hailstorms make parts of the state a high-risk zone for insurers.
3. Louisiana: Like Florida, Louisiana is particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and rising sea levels.
4. Oklahoma: Tornadoes regularly wreak havoc, increasing home repair costs and insurance premiums.
5. Midwest States: Flooding from rivers like the Mississippi and Missouri has made some areas nearly uninsurable.

Cuban's prediction that home insurance will become a political issue makes sense. As premiums rise and insurers retreat, state and federal governments may have to step in to prevent housing markets in disaster-prone areas from collapsing.
But it's not just about legislation. This crisis is a wake-up call for how we handle climate change, urban planning and disaster preparedness. Without serious reforms, homeowners in high-risk areas might face an impossible choice: pay unaffordable premiums, go without insurance or leave their communities entirely.
Mark Cuban's warning highlights an often-overlooked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42572520/2025-housing-market-looks-like-a-year-of-struggle-for-states-like-builders-now-hold-record-inventory">aspect of the housing crisis</a>. While interest rates and rising home prices grab headlines, the real threat may come from something even harder to control: nature. For homeowners in places like Florida, the clock is ticking and the need for solutions has never been more urgent.
If you're considering buying property in a disaster-prone area, it's crucial to factor in the cost – and availability – of home insurance. But for savvy investors, this shifting landscape could be a unique opportunity. By focusing on rentals or REITs in safer regions, there's still a way to turn the challenges of today's housing market into a long-term advantage.

Marijuana Stock Movers For December 25, 2024

In the current market session, Portland Gen Electric Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POR#NYSE">POR</a>) share price is at $43.71, after a 0.02% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 8.93%, but in the past year, spiked by 0.76%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735155908_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Portland Gen Electric P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.36 in the Electric Utilities industry, Portland Gen Electric Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 13.19. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735155908_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<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.

(GEHC) - Analyzing GE HealthCare Techs's Short Interest

On Dec. 21, the U.S. Senate passed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42141974/house-passes-196-billion-social-security-bill-will-repealing-pension-reductions-shorten-the-programs-lifespan">Social Security Fairness Act</a>, a bipartisan bill to eliminate reductions in social security benefits for millions of Americans. With a vote of 76-20, the bill now heads to President Joe Biden's desk for final approval. This marks a significant milestone for retired educators, firefighters, police officers and government employees.&nbsp;
For decades, certain provisions have reduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41882904/think-youll-get-full-social-security-missing-this-35-year-window-could-cost-you-thousands">Social Security payments</a> for retirees receiving public pensions. The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) were initially set to prevent overlapping benefits but have been widely criticized as unfair.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
"Millions of retired teachers, firefighters, letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor. "No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed, thanks to this bill."
Repealing the WEP and GPO will restore full <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41210847/do-former-u-s-presidents-really-collect-social-security-the-surprising-truth-about-their-retirem">Social Security benefits</a> to nearly three million retirees nationwide. Advocates argue that these workers deserve the benefits they've contributed to throughout their careers.&nbsp;
"Everyone knows a teacher, firefighter, law enforcement officer, nurse or public worker who's paid into Social Security year after year, only to have their payments curbed by the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset when they retire," said Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers.&nbsp;

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a leading advocate for the bill, said Social Security is a bedrock of the American middle class that public workers pay into like anyone else and that the WEP and GPO restrictions make no sense. "These workers serve the public," he said, addressing the Senate. "They protect our communities. They teach our kids."
National organizations representing public workers have also praised the decision. Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger's website shares celebratory messages from those in the National Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Fire Fighters, the National Education Association and others.&nbsp;
Rebecca Pringle, president of the National Education Association, celebrated the bipartisan effort, saying, "Public service workers have been waiting 40 years for this wrong to be righted and we are grateful that members of Congress, in both the House and now the Senate, put aside partisan politics to come together and pass the Social Security Fairness Act."
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
While the legislation is celebrated for its fairness, not everyone agrees it is the right path forward. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), repealing the WEP and GPO will add an estimated $195 billion to the federal deficit over the next decade. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40817544/report-warns-of-16-500-annual-social-security-benefit-cut-for-dual-income-couples-by-2033">Social Security Trust Funds</a>, already projected to be unable to pay full benefits starting in 2035, will see their insolvency date increased by about six months.
Critics of the bill, including Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, expressed concerns about its long-term impact. "We caved to the pressure of the moment instead of doing this on a sustainable basis," he said. Others, like Sen. Rand Paul, proposed alternative solutions such as gradually raising the Social Security retirement age, though such amendments gained little support.
The bill now awaits President Biden's signature. Once enacted, it will provide immediate relief to retirees who have seen reduced benefits for years. Since the bill was set to apply to payments beginning January 2024, the CBO suggests that benefits owed before fiscal year 2025 may be paid retroactively.&nbsp;
This legislation represents a long-awaited victory for public service retirees and a step toward a fairer retirement system. Stay informed about updates on Social Security and other retirement-related news to plan for your future.

A Long-Awaited Victory: Public Workers Set To Receive Higher Social Security Benefits After Senate Passes Social Security Fairness Act

In the current market session, Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) price is at $40.09, after a 0.30% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 8.76%, and in the past year, by 27.41%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at Dow P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 29.31 in the Chemicals industry, Dow Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.65. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735153208_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that it will issue automatic payments this month to approximately 1 million <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-special-payments-going-this-month-to-1-million-taxpayers-who-did-not-claim-2021-recovery-rebate-credit-encourages-non-filers-about-approaching-deadline-to-claim-credits">taxpayers</a> who did not claim the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2021 Recovery Rebate Credit</a>.
The total amount of payments is expected to be around $2.4 billion, with individual payments potentially reaching up to $1,400.
The payments, which are part of ongoing efforts to assist taxpayers, will be sent to individuals who were eligible for the Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) but did not claim them on their 2021 tax returns.
The Recovery Rebate Credit is a refundable credit for those who missed out on one or more of the stimulus payments.
These payments will be issued automatically, meaning no additional action is required from eligible taxpayers. The funds will be either direct deposited or sent as paper checks, with most payments arriving by late January 2025.

Eligible taxpayers will also receive a separate notification letter from the IRS confirming the payment.
The IRS also reminded taxpayers who haven't yet filed their 2021 tax returns that they may still be eligible for the credit if they file by the April 15, 2025, deadline.
The payments will go to those who filed a 2021 tax return but left the Recovery Rebate Credit field blank or entered $0 when they were actually qualified.
These automatic payments aim to simplify the process for eligible taxpayers, saving them from filing an amended return. Additionally, the IRS assured that the payments would not count as income when determining eligibility for federal benefits such as SSI, SNAP, and WIC. The IRS said it continues its efforts to help taxpayers access credits and deductions, including other coronavirus tax relief measures.

Payments of Up to $1,400 Coming for 1 Million Eligible Taxpayers, IRS Confirms

Taiwan&#8217;s Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has reportedly blocked Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) $950 million acquisition of Delivery Hero&#8217;s Foodpanda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38809280/uber-spices-up-taiwans-food-delivery-scene-with-950m-foodpanda-deal-whats-on-the-menu">business due to anti-competitive concerns.</a>
The merger, which was initially announced in May 2023, would have significantly increased Uber Eats&#8217; dominance in Taiwan&#8217;s food delivery market, giving the combined company over 90% of the market share, Reuters reports.
The FTC cited concerns that the merger would eliminate Foodpanda as Uber Eats&#8217; main competitor, reducing market pressure on the combined entity.
The commission argued that without this competition, Uber would have less incentive to keep prices low for consumers or commissions reasonable for restaurant partners.
With a huge market share, the merger could have led to higher prices and less choice for consumers, undermining the competitive landscape of Taiwan&#8217;s food delivery sector.
The deal was scrutinized by the FTC after Uber filed the application in November 2023. The commission stated that the merger&#8217;s negative effects would outweigh any economic benefits.

The FTC also noted that corrective measures would not be sufficient to address these concerns.
In response, Uber and Delivery Hero said they might appeal the decision or consider terminating the acquisition.
Uber was optimistic about the deal, as it had hoped the merger would help boost its delivery business by contributing $150 million annually to its adjusted core profit.
While online food delivery platforms in Taiwan account for a small fraction of the broader food delivery market, Foodpanda&#8217;s operations had reached breakeven in adjusted core earnings by March 2024.
The proposed merger was expected to be finalized in the first half of 2025, but now faces significant regulatory hurdles in Taiwan.
This decision highlights ongoing scrutiny of mergers in the tech and delivery sectors, as regulators assess their long-term impact on competition and consumers.
Price Action: UBER shares 0.26% to $61.71 on Tuesday, while shares fell by 0.07% after hours.

Uber's Foodpanda Acquisition Blocked in Taiwan Due to Competition Concerns

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s foreign policy rhetoric has recently shifted towards more aggressive stances, with controversial remarks about reclaiming the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panama Canal and acquiring Greenland</a>.
While unlikely to result in actual territorial changes, these statements reflect Trump&#8217;s continued &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda, which emphasizes asserting U.S. interests on the global stage, BBC News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1lnzzd1zrmo" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Trump&#8217;s remarks about the Panama Canal, made during a conservative conference in Arizona, center around what he perceives as &#8220;unfair&#8221; fees imposed on U.S. ships using the waterway.
The U.S. controlled the Panama Canal until 1977, when it was handed over to Panama under a treaty.
However, Trump has now suggested that the canal should be returned to U.S. control if Panama continues to impose what he called &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; charges, particularly with China&#8217;s increasing presence in the region.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42677225/is-the-stock-market-open-or-closed-on-christmas-day-2024-here-is-what-you-can-trade-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">Is Stock Market Open Or Closed On Christmas Day 2024? Here Is What You Can Trade Today</a>
China, the second-largest user of the canal after the U.S., has significant economic interests in Panama, which could pose security concerns for the U.S. in a future conflict.
Despite Trump&#8217;s claims, Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino has firmly rejected the notion, asserting that the canal is sovereign property of Panama.
Trump has also reiterated his 2019 desire to purchase Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory. He argues that Greenland&#8217;s strategic location in the Arctic and its natural resources are essential for U.S. national security. Though Greenland&#8217;s prime minister, Múte B. Egede, has rejected the idea, Trump&#8217;s public push continues.
The U.S. maintains a military base in Greenland, and Russia&#8217;s growing interest in the region adds to the geopolitical tension, BBC News adds.
While these comments might be seen as coercive, they highlight Trump&#8217;s focus on using U.S. power to safeguard its trade and security interests. It remains to be seen how these statements will affect U.S. foreign relations moving forward, especially with countries like Denmark and Panama.

Trump's Controversial Remarks on Panama Canal and Greenland: Safeguarding Trade and Security or Grabbing Power?

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey on Tuesday provided an overview of which consumer sectors were the best performers in the third-quarter and highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42675763/santa-rally-serial-winners-10-stocks-historically-poised-for-big-year-end-gains">some &#8220;stocks with potential.&#8221; </a>
Sectors: One of the sectors highlighted by Telsey Advisory Group was the Off-Price group including TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>), Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) and Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>).&nbsp; All three of these companies in the Off-Price sector raised their annual profit outlooks in the third quarter, suggesting the discount retailers see benefits from a potentially cash-strapped consumer.&nbsp;

Another sector of the Telsey Advisory Group's coverage that saw all companies in the firm's coverage raise their annual profit outlooks was the Digital/New Economy sector.&nbsp; Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFIX#NASDAQ">SFIX</a>), ThredUp Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDUP#NASDAQ">TDUP</a>) and eyewear retailer Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRBY#NYSE">WRBY</a>) comprise the Telsey Group's coverage in this sector.&nbsp;
"Some Stocks With Potential": The firm also highlighted Warby Parker as one of its "stocks with potential" and sees its operating momentum continuing in 2025 driven by enhanced telemedicine capabilities, expanded insurance coverage and scaling its contact lens business.&nbsp;
Telsey Advisory named Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) as a stock with potential following its earnings and revenue beat-and-raise report for the third quarter. It also sees the store as a "holiday winner" with its strong gift assortment. 
The final "stock with potential" listed in the research note is RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) which Telsey Advisory Group analyst Cristina Fernandez upgraded from Market Perform to Outperform last week. The analyst also raised the price target from $485 to $500 as she anticipates the retailer's strong demand trend to continue as the housing market begins to recover and new stores in European markets are opened.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy, but his recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37923084/elon-musk-used-to-email-ex-google-ceo-larry-page-when-he-was-kind-of-homeless-and-ask-can-i-come">remarks about homelessness</a> have sparked a particularly intense reaction. On Dec. 10, Musk took to X – his own platform, no less – to declare, "In most cases, the word ‘homeless' is a lie. It's usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe mental illness."
The statement came in response to Jeremy Kauffman's post, which painted a grim picture of housing programs in San Francisco. Kauffman listed incidents of squalor, violence, drug overdoses and evictions, suggesting that simply giving unhoused individuals a roof doesn't fix the root of the problem. Musk agreed.

Back in October, during an interview with Tucker Carlson, Musk doubled down on his view of homelessness as a far graver and more complex issue than it's often presented.&nbsp;
According to The Independent, Musk stated in the interview, "Homeless is a misnomer. It implies that someone got a little bit behind on their mortgage and if you just gave them a job, they'd be back on their feet," he said. "What you actually see are violent drug zombies with dead eyes, needles everywhere and human feces on the streets."&nbsp;
But Musk didn't stop there. He argued that pouring more money into homelessness programs only makes things worse. In his view, there's a dark financial incentive at play. He took to X again, writing: "The ‘save the homeless' NGOs are often paid based on how many homeless people are on the streets, thus creating a strong financial incentive for them to maximize the number of homeless people and never actually solve the problem!"

Critics have called Musk's comments tone-deaf, accusatory and just flat-out wrong. Jesse Rabinowitz of the National Homelessness Law Center stated, "People are really struggling to afford basic needs in this country, like rent and food. But I don't expect Musk or the other billionaires to know anything about that."&nbsp;
Others argue that someone with Musk's fortune – over $300 billion – could personally solve the housing crisis in the U.S. but chooses to throw verbal grenades instead.
The irony isn't lost on people, either. Musk, who had reportedly funneled over $250 million into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42417117/jeff-bezos-shrugs-off-worries-about-musks-influence-on-the-trump-administration-if-that-turns-out-to-be-naive-well-well-see">Donald Trump's presidential campaign</a>, has become increasingly vocal about slashing federal programs. Programs, mind you, that directly assist the very people he's labeling as "violent drug addicts."

So, where does the truth lie? Advocates say Musk's views ignore decades of research that paint a far more nuanced picture of homelessness. According to a 2023 report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, over 650,000 Americans experience homelessness on any given night – and nearly 17% of them are children. The vast majority are not violent, nor are they drug users. Many work full-time but still can't afford rent due to skyrocketing housing costs and stagnant wages.
Even more sobering: unhoused people are far more likely to be victims of violent crimes than perpetrators. The idea of "violent drug zombies" may grab attention, but experts say it's a gross oversimplification that fuels stigma.
For Musk, though, this isn't just rhetoric – it's a rallying cry. He's urging lawmakers and the White House to impose drastic cuts to federal programs, all in the name of "efficiency."&nbsp;
Critics, however, argue that weaponizing homelessness as a talking point – while ignoring the systemic issues that cause it – is not only harmful but wildly irresponsible.
The world's richest man has every platform and resource at his disposal, yet his commentary seems heavy on finger-pointing and light on solutions. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: when Musk talks, people listen. Whether or not they agree? That's another story.

Elon Musk Says Term 'Homeless' Is A Lie And Misleading – Argues The Programs Claiming To Fix It Are Only Making It Worse For Financial Gain

ESAB's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESAB#NYSE">ESAB</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.77% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 616 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.42 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 ESAB has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing ESAB'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>, ESAB's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.08%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

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 Oracle has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Oracle'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>, Oracle's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.02%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Automotive parts specialist Carbon Revolution (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/crev-stock-quote/">CREV</a>) &ndash; which focuses on manufacturing carbon fiber (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cf-stock-quote/">CF</a>) wheels for vehicle manufacturers &ndash; saw its shares pop dramatically higher on Friday. Last night, the company revealed that it will supply the CF wheels available on the upcoming (and just revealed) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Chevrolet is a General Motors (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gm-stock-quote/">GM</a>) brand and the credibility boost lifted CREV stock.



Carbon&rsquo;s CF wheels &ndash; designed as a one-piece framework &ndash; carries the advantage of being significantly lighter than the aluminum-wheel option. Per the accompanying <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/carbon-revolution-supplies-carbon-fiber-011000695.html">press release</a>, the CF wheels will reduce the Corvette ZR1&rsquo;s rotating, unsprung mass by 42.8 pounds across the vehicle. While the underlying aesthetic appeal will likely be important, it may be the performance improvement that inspires prospective buyers.



After all, the Corvette isn&rsquo;t cheap. According to Kelley Blue Book, the base model Corvette carries an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/corvette/">MSRP of just under $70,000</a>. The current top-end model &ndash; the Z06 &ndash; commands an MSRP of $111,795. However, Car and Driver estimates that the upcoming ZR1 <a href="https://www.autonationdrive.com/blog/2019/october/15/essential-auto-101-what-is-a-halo-car.htm">halo car</a> (essentially the flagship that gets consumers excited about the underlying brand) will carry a price tag <a href="https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/corvette-zr1">between $180,000 to $205,000</a>.



In other words, a consumer plunking that amount of cash for a vehicle will likely want the absolute best in performance: that&rsquo;s probably why CREV stock skyrocketed today.



<h2>CREV Stock Linked to a Groundbreaking Performance Vehicle</h2>



Per the press release, Carbon CEO Jake Dingle noted that the new ZR1 will be the third Corvette that features the company&rsquo;s CF wheels. &ldquo;Our team harnessed its extensive engineering and manufacturing experience to come up with a wheel befitting of the highest-performance Corvette we&rsquo;ve ever seen,&rdquo; the head executive remarked.



Dingle isn&rsquo;t kidding. According to MotorTrend, the Z06 rockets to 60 miles per hour (mph) from standstill in <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2023-chevrolet-corvette-z06-convertible-0-60-quarter-mile-time/">just 2.6 seconds</a>. It eclipses the quarter mile in a blistering 10.6 seconds with a trap speed of 131.6 mph. That&rsquo;s supercar performance coming out of an engine that generates 670 horsepower.



On the other hand, Chevrolet has yet to release its figures for 0-60 times for the ZR1. But what has enthusiasts excited about the upcoming automotive juggernaut is that it generates 1,064 horsepower. To truly get the most out of this vehicle, prospective buyers will likely opt for the CF wheels. This dynamic has speculators bidding up CREV stock.



To be fair, the company is a risky proposition. Shortly following its initial public offering, CREV stock screamed higher to an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CREV/history/">intraday-record high of $197.99</a>. Still, the equity quickly fell back toward a more terrestrial range.



Nevertheless, with the announcement of the partnership with GM&rsquo;s high-performance halo car, investors may have Carbon Revolution on their watch list.
