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.

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.

After sitting unsold for over a decade, the property has finally found a buyer.&nbsp;
Public records confirm the deal has closed, with the home selling for $9.5 million – a far cry from the $29 million it was originally listed for in 2012. In the world of luxury real estate, that's what you call a serious markdown.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes-y2"> high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</a></li>

</ul>
By 2015, the asking price had already dropped to $14.855 million – a number with a quirky twist. Why so specific? The digits add to Jordan's iconic #23, a nod to the jersey number that adorns the mansion's front gates.
This isn't just any house. Known as Legend Point, the 56,000-square-foot Highland Park estate is a shrine to Jordan's career and unmistakable style.&nbsp;
According to the Zillow listing, the property is "equipped with every conceivable luxury amenity." The home sits on seven acres and boasts features as unique as its owner, including doors salvaged from the original Playboy Mansion. The property has nine bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a putting green, a tennis court, a cigar lounge and – you guessed it – a regulation-size basketball court.

It's practically a museum of MJ, designed to showcase his larger-than-life legacy. But therein lies the challenge: owning this home feels a bit like stepping into Jordan's shoes – literally. Perhaps that's why it sat unsold for so long. How do you make a home with that much Jordan energy feel like yours?
Whoever the mystery buyer is, they've got a big project ahead of them. Transforming Legend Point into something less … Michael Jordan will be no small task. After all, Jordan built the estate from scratch in 1991 during his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40488456/nba-legend-charles-barkley-never-wants-to-go-broke-like-80-of-retired-athletes-when-youre-55-how">Chicago Bulls prime</a>, pouring an estimated $50 million into its construction.

According to Business Insider, listing agent Katherine Malkin told The Wall Street Journal that Jordan bought the property as a vacant lot in 1991, during his Chicago Bulls prime and invested about $50 million to bring his vision to life.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, MJ hasn't exactly been sweating the slow sale. He's long since relocated to sunny Florida, where he picked up a $16.5 million mansion in a gated community in Jupiter earlier this year. It's his second home in the neighborhood. When you're Michael Jordan, you can afford to wait (and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">diversify your real estate portfolio</a>).
So, while the sale price might be a slam dunk for the buyer, it's a buzzer-beater of sorts for Jordan. After 12 long years on the market, Legend Point has a new owner. But let's be honest: this mansion will always be Michael Jordan's house – playboy doors and all.

Looking Into Loews's Recent Short Interest

In the current market session, Sanmina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SANM#NASDAQ">SANM</a>) share price is at $77.70, after a 0.58% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.23%, but in the past year, spiked by 48.82%. 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/2024/1735143308_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Sanmina P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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 146.08 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, Sanmina Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.76. 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/2024/1735143308_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.

Peering Into CACI International's Recent Short Interest

The year of milestones, 2024, has seen an unperturbed rise in the current bull market, which is nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">26 months</a> old. It is higher by more than 70% from the mid-October 2022 lows. As we wrap up the year with the possibility of a &#8216;Santa Rally,&#8217; let&#8217;s recap 2024&#8217;s landmark junctures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major U.S. Benchmarks Scale Fresh Records</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 Index has made 57 new all-time highs this year, hitting the last one on Dec. 6, 2024. Also, &#8220;2024 would go down as the best election year return ever,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research in a note.
&#8220;Going back 50 years, we found five other bull markets that had lasted at least this long and the shortest any of them lasted was five total years. Think of it like a cruise ship — once it gets moving, it can be quite hard to stop,&#8221; added Detrick
While the S&amp;P 500 index was up 25.96% on a year-to-date basis as of Dec. 23 close, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose by 25.82% in the same period.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index, on the other hand, hit a record eight 1,000-point milestones this year. It started the year around the 37,000 level and breached the 45,000 level at the beginning of December. It took only seven trading days for the index to go from 44,000 to 45,000, the second fastest 1,000-point milestone ever. Following that the index also saw one of its longest 10-day losing streak, the first ever since 1974.
Dow was up 13.77% year-to-date as of the Dec. 23 close, whereas the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) gained 13.74% in the same period.
The Nasdaq 100 index which includes all the &#8216;magnificent seven&#8217; stocks, unlike Dow, rose 29.98% year-to-date as Dec. 23 close. The ETF tracking the index, Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) rose by 33.85% in the same period. Whereas, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose by 29.88% in 2024.
The smallcap index Russell 2000 was up 11.16% over the year, while iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) was up 10.97% in the same period as of the Dec. 23 close.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Market Trumps The World</h3>

Among the defensive sectors, utilities emerged as a winner, whereas energy was an underperformer. Consumer staples, energy, and utilities take up 5.7%, 3.4%, and 2.5% weight, respectively in the S&amp;P 500 index.
As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump's deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. However, a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Dollar Surges Over 6% In 2024</h3>
The Dollar index was up 6.72% year-to-date with a 52-week range of 100.1570 to 108.5410 per unit. If the Greenback can hold on to these gains, the currency would leave behind the second-best year since 2015.
The UDS&#8217;s demand has been rising due to the &#8220;Uncertainties arising from expected Trump's policies and hawkish comments from the Fed towards rate cycle,&#8221; said Kunal Sodhani, vice president of the global trading center at Shinhan Bank.
According to Franklin Templeton, &#8220;The Fed easing cycle will be a dominant factor for the USD. The two main comparisons we draw against the Fed cyclically, interest-rate-wise, are emerging markets, and Japan.&#8221;
WisdomTree Bloomberg US Dollar Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USDU#NYSE">USDU</a>) was up 13.24% on a year-to-date basis, as of Dec. 23 close, where as Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) advanced by 7.21% in the same period.

SYTA, DATS and CYN among mid-day movers

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Qualigen Therapeutics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qlgn-stock-quote/">QLGN</a>) stock is falling on Monday as the clinical-stage therapeutics company&rsquo;s shares come off of <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/07/why-is-qualigen-qlgn-stock-up-141-today/">a massive rally on Friday</a>.



That Friday rally resulted in shares of QLGN stock closing out normal trading hours up 109.2%. This came alongside heavy trading with more than 420 million units traded. For comparison, its daily average trading volume is about 12.5 million shares.



The rally of QLGN stock happened after the company secured new funding. Qualigen Therapeutics sold a Senior Note worth $2 million to an investor. It has a maturity date of July 8, 2025.



To go along with this, Qualigen Therapeutics also changed up its board of directors. This saw it remove four members from its board and replace them with three new members. That happened as a condition of the Senior Note sale.



<h2>QLGN Stock Movement on Monday</h2>



Qualigen Therapeutics isn&rsquo;t seeing near as much trading activity on Monday. This has roughly 3 million units on the move as of this writing. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that its <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QLGN/key-statistics/">float is 9.59 million shares</a>.



QLGN stock is down 21.9% as of Monday morning. The company&rsquo;s shares closed out Friday down 21.1% year-to-date even after its rally.

Why Is Qualigen Therapeutics (QLGN) Stock Down 22% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Trump Media &amp; Technology&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/djt-stock-quote/">DJT</a>)&nbsp;stock is rocketing higher on Monday after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.



The <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/15/trump-media-shares-rise-after-assassination-attempt.html">assassination attempt on Trump</a> took place during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The bullet grazed his ear, causing him to duck under his podium. Before being escorted away by Secret Service members, he stood raised his fist in the air.



These actions are having a major effect of DJT stock today. This comes as experts predict that Trump&rsquo;s chances of winning the 2024 presidential election have increased. This has several stocks tied to him on the move today, as well as cryptos.



Trump Media &amp; Technology CEO Devin Nunes said the following about the attack to CNBC.




&ldquo;The situation demands a fast, thorough federal investigation to determine all the circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify if any additional persons were involved. I also call for the federal government to provide any security resources requested by President Trump to guarantee his safety.&rdquo;




<h2>DJT Stock Movement on Monday</h2>



Shares of DJT stock are experiencing heavy trading on Monday. That has more than 11.7 million units on the move as of this writing. For the record, that&rsquo;s well above its daily average trading volume of about 6.8 million shares.



DJT stock is up 47.5% as of Monday morning.

DatChat&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dats-stock-quote/">DATS</a>) stock is taking off on Monday after former President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/15/trump-media-shares-rise-after-assassination-attempt.html">survived an assassination attempt</a> over the weekend.



Trump was conducting a rally for his 2024 presidential bid on Saturday when he was shot in the ear. He ducked after the initial shot and stood up with blood on his face before being escorted away by Secret Service members.



Following this attack on the former President, experts are predicting that it could increase his chances of winning the 2024 presidential election. This is having a large effect on the stock market, as well as on cryptos.



<h2>What This Means for DATS Stock</h2>



In the case of DatChat, it&rsquo;s a company that has often rallied alongside Trump stocks in the past. This may be due to its focus on privacy with its end-to-end encryption service.



With this latest news comes heavy trading of DATS stock. As of this writing, more than 14.9 million shares have changed hands. To put that number in perspective, the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume is about 158,000 shares.



DATS stock is up 103.8% as of Monday morning.

Why Is Moolec Science (MLEC) Stock Down 18% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Shares of DatChat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dats-stock-quote/">DATS</a>), Phunware (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/phun-stock-quote/">PHUN</a>) and Rumble (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rum-stock-quote/">RUM</a>) are all in the green following the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend.



The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to graze Trump&rsquo;s ear. However, the former President was able to escape with no significant injuries.



&ldquo;In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,&rdquo; <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/trump-injured-fine-after-apparent-assassination-attempt-leaves-111926257">wrote Trump</a> on Truth Social, the social media platform of his company Trump Media &amp; Technology (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/djt-stock-quote/">DJT</a>).



On <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024/will-donald-trump-win-the-2024-us-presidential-election?tid=1721054406445">Polymarket</a>, which is a tradable prediction market, Trump&rsquo;s odds of winning the presidential election tallied in at 56% as of last Friday. Those odds have now risen to more than 70%, an all-time high following the assassination attempt.



<h2>DatChat, Phunware, Rumble Stocks Surge Higher on Trump Reelection Odds</h2>



Despite the rise, DATS stock is still down more than 50% year-to-date (YTD). On the other hand, PHUN stock and RUM stock are both up by 40% YTD or more.



The rise in DATS stock doesn&rsquo;t appear to be related to a short squeeze, as its <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/DATS/short-interest/">short interest</a> as a percentage of float as of June 30 was just 2.5%. Generally, a short interest of 10% is viewed as high, while a short interest of 20% or greater is viewed as very high. As a result, it appears that demand outpacing supply is responsible for the uptick in DatChat shares today.



The same can&rsquo;t be said for Phunware and Rumble. Both companies commanded short interests over 10% as of June 30. PHUN stock&rsquo;s short interest tallied in at <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PHUN/short-interest/">13.3%</a>, while RUM was even higher at <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/RUM/short-interest/">19.7%</a>.



It isn&rsquo;t just these three stocks catching a bid today. With Trump&rsquo;s chances of winning surging higher, investors have paid closer attention to &ldquo;Trump stocks,&rdquo; or stocks and industries that could fare well if Trump is able to win. 



One of the obvious stocks is DJT, which represents the company behind Trump&rsquo;s Truth Social. Cryptocurrencies have also risen following the assassination attempt because Trump has previously <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/15/bitcoin-jumps-as-markets-see-increased-odds-of-trump-victory.html">voiced his support</a> for the asset class.



On July 27, Trump will attend the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/trump-reportedly-in-good-spirits-will-still-attend-nashville-btc-bitcoin-conference">Bitcoin Conference</a> in Nashville, Tennessee as a speaker. One event organizer teased that Trump will &ldquo;deliver a speech that is heard around the world.&rdquo;
