<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.

<h3>Comparing Enstar Gr'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>, Enstar Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.95%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Enstar Group Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGR#NASDAQ">ESGR</a>) has announced today that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has reached an agreement for a loss portfolio transfer with a subsidiary of SiriusPoint Ltd.

Bond appetites are growing as more and more investors look to lock in high-yielding assets ahead of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37790222/fed-meeting-preview-these-2-wall-street-analysts-still-expect-3-cuts-in-2024-but-bo">expected decline in interest rates this year</a>. 
What To Know: Riskier forms of corporate debt with higher yields are becoming increasingly popular with the Federal Reserve expected to begin cutting rates later this year.
Investors are looking for opportunities to lock in current levels of high interest for years to come, and corporate bonds are one place they are looking. According to Reuters, a change in Moody&#8217;s approach to ratings last month has fueled the increased demand, especially for high-yielding bonds.
Benzinga used Public.com&#8217;s <a href="https://public.com/bonds/screener">bond screener tool</a> to identify some of the highest-yielding investment-grade corporate bonds with maximum liquidity. Here&#8217;s a look at the results:
<ul>
<li>Stanley Black &amp; Decker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>): 16.04% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Teledyne Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDY#NYSE">TDY</a>): 14.37% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Truist Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>): 11.7% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Quest Diagnostics Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#NYSE">DGX</a>): 11.64% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>): 11.03% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Enstar Group Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGR#NASDAQ">ESGR</a>): 8.42% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>

Here&#8217;s a look at some of the highest-yielding speculative-grade corporate bonds:
<ul>
<li>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) 33.59% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Hughes Satellite Systems Corp: 32.3% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>DISH Network Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DISH#NASDAQ">DISH</a>): 29.59% yield</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Office Properties Income Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPI#NASDAQ">OPI</a>): 28.99% yield</li>
</ul>
Higher-yielding bonds offer higher interest rates because they have a much higher risk of default. Corporate bonds are also riskier than U.S. Treasury bonds because they are not backed by the government.
When a company with a higher estimated default risk issues bonds, it usually does so with higher rates to try to attract investors who may be considering government bonds or lower-rate corporate bonds with investment-grade credit ratings.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.
