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.

Dover shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results and cut its FY24 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>) shares are trading lower on Thursday after the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41511869/dover-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> company reported third-quarter results</a>.
Revenue stood at $1.984 billion, an increase of&nbsp;1%&nbsp;year-over-year, missing the&nbsp;consensus of&nbsp;$2.045 billion.&nbsp;
Segment earnings margin expanded to&nbsp;22.6% from 21.9% a year ago. Total adjusted segment EBITDA margin expanded to&nbsp;24.4%&nbsp;from&nbsp;23.7%&nbsp;a year ago.
Booking increased&nbsp;5.6%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$1.853 billion in the quarter. Adjusted EPS was&nbsp;$2.27, up&nbsp;6% over the prior year, missing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;$2.29</a>.
Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled&nbsp;$353.2 million, and free cash flow was&nbsp;$315.5 million.
2024&nbsp;Outlook: Dover lowered adjusted EPS from&nbsp;$9.05 &#8211; $9.20 to $8.08&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;$8.18 (consensus of&nbsp;$8.84)&nbsp;and&nbsp;revised revenue growth <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from&nbsp;3% –&nbsp;4% to 1% &#8211; 3%</a>.

Dover&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J.

Consolidated bookings continued their positive trajectory, with robust order rates in our secular-growth-exposed markets.&#8221;
&#8221;We closed the divestiture of our&nbsp;Environmental Solutions Group&nbsp;business in early October, reducing our exposure to cyclical capital goods. We expect to end the year with substantial firepower to pursue value-creating capital deployment as we continue to expand our businesses in high growth, high margin priority platforms.&#8221;
&#8221;We have a constructive outlook for the remainder of 2024 and for next year. Underlying end market demand is very healthy across the portfolio driven by our secular growth platforms, coupled with the bottoming of our long-cycle-exposed end markets in 2024.&#8221;
