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.

Breaking Down Halozyme Therapeutics: 10 Analysts Share Their Views

Halozyme Therapeutics shares are trading lower after the company announced a proposal to combine with Evotec.

On Thursday, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HALO#NASDAQ">HALO</a>) submitted a non-binding proposal to Evotec SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVO#NASDAQ">EVO</a>) to acquire the German company for 11.00 euros per share in cash, implying a fully diluted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41989694/halozyme-confirms-proposal-to-combine-with-evotec-for-11-00-per-share-in-an-all-cash-transaction" rel="noreferrer noopener">equity value of 2.0 billion euros</a> (around $2.11 billion).
The proposal represents a premium of 109% to Evotec&#8217;s undisturbed share price on&nbsp;October 15, 2024, the day before Triton Partners&#8217; initial accumulation of Evotec shares.
Evotec&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/en/about-us/evotec" rel="noreferrer noopener">offers</a> drug discovery and development services to several biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
&#8220;The combination of Halozyme and Evotec would diversify and extend Halozyme revenue and EBITDA growth and durability well into the next decade and beyond,&#8221; said&nbsp;Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer of Halozyme.
Halozyme said its strong cash flow would enable ongoing investments in Evotec&#8217;s early-stage programs and new technologies.
The proposed&nbsp;combination&nbsp;is expected to significantly expand and diversify Halozyme&#8217;s revenue and EBITDA over the next decade. The combined technology offerings would open up new partnership opportunities and program expansions.
Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report highlighted that private equity firm Triton Partners&nbsp;was also considering acquiring Evotec. In an SEC filing, Evotec&nbsp;reported&nbsp;that Triton had acquired a 9.99% stake in the company via several <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41882329/private-equity-triton-partners-takes-around-10-stake-in-evotec-reportedly-mulls-potential-takeover-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">open-market transactions</a>.
During its second-quarter earnings release, Evotec&nbsp;disclosed it identified a headcount reduction potential of approximately 400 roles (7% of the&nbsp;workforce) across the global footprint and a reduction of the physical footprint by surrendering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40376143/bristol-myers-german-partner-evotec-plans-layoffs-cites-challenging-revenues-profitability" rel="noreferrer noopener">certain lease agreements</a>.
Evotec&nbsp;exited gene therapy and closed a site in Orth, Austria. It also shut down chemistry activities in Lyon, France, and separated a manufacturing facility in Halle/Westphalia, Germany.
Recently, Halozyme reported third-quarter 2024 revenue of $290.1 million, compared to&nbsp;$216.0 million&nbsp;in the third quarter of 2023.
While announcing its third quarter results, Halozyme raised the fiscal year 2024 adjusted EPS guidance to $4.00-$4.20 from $3.65-$4.05&nbsp;(current consensus $4.15) and revenue guidance to $970 million—$1.02 billion from $935 million—$1.015 billion (current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41663735/halozyme-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-and-operating-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.003 billion</a>).
Evotec <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41994208">responded</a> that it would thoroughly evaluate this expression of interest, determine the appropriate next steps, and communicate its decisions to the capital market in compliance with legal requirements.

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.
