<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 Iron Mountain'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Iron Mountain's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The latest market downturn has left many investors questioning whether this is a temporary dip or the beginning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a prolonged bear market.</a>
Yet, an eye-opening indicator suggests that opportunities may be more abundant than feared—95% of S&amp;P 500 stocks currently hold a median analyst price target above their latest trading price, signaling significant upside potential across the board.
Notably, two Magnificent Seven stocks—Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)—rank among the top when comparing the gap between Wall Street&#8217;s median price target and current prices, a quite uncommon event for tech giants that traditionally trade at valuation premiums.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Market Bottom Or A Value Trap?</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 officially entered correction territory last week, leaving investors to wonder whether the worst is over or if further downside awaits.
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, has been one of the more bullish voices on Wall Street. Last week, he raised his probability of a bearish scenario from 20% to 35%. That forecast includes the possibility of a recession or stagflation—a combination of stagnant growth and inflation.
Yardeni also acknowledged the possibility that a bear market may have begun on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 reached a record high. This shift in sentiment led him to lower his year-end 2025 S&amp;P 500 target from 7,000 to 6,400.
From a technical standpoint, only 41% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, signaling that most have fallen below a key trend support level, potentially confirming a bearish phase.
Yet, long-term market data provides a reason for optimism. 
Jeffrey Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, points out that market corrections—defined as a decline of 10% or more—occur every 1.1 years on average, dating back to 1928. 
&#8220;Corrections also tend to produce attractive buying opportunities&#8221;
Since 1950, the S&amp;P 500 has experienced an average intra-year drawdown of a negative 13.7%, yet it has still managed to post an average annual gain of 9.5%, with 73% of those years ending in positive territory. 
Even in years when the index experienced an intra-year decline of 10% to 20%, the average annual return was still 8.4%, with 64% of those years finishing higher.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Stocks Have The Biggest Upside?</h3>
Based on current analyst price targets, several stocks stand out for their potential gains. 
Deckers Outdoor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) leads the list, with a median price target nearly 95% higher than its last price. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) follows closely, with a projected upside of 93%.
Notably, Tesla and Nvidia, two of the most closely watched growth stocks, also rank high on the list. Analysts see Tesla's price target at $371.50, representing a 64.9% upside, while Nvidia's median price target sits at $175, implying a 51.6% gain from current levels.
Other stocks with significant upside potential include:
<ul>
<li>Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) &#8211; 81.4% potential upside</li>
<li>Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>) &#8211; 80.4% potential upside</li>
<li>United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) &#8211; 80.2% potential upside</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought Iron Mountain Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $36.28 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 276 shares. Currently, shares trade at $88.31, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $24,341 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Iron Mountain also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
Iron Mountain's dividend yield is currently 3.56%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $24.45 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $6,739 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $24,341 and $6,739, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $31,080. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Iron Mountain stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 210.8%. However, this figure is still less than the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was 219.91%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
Iron Mountain has a consensus rating of "Overweight" and a price target of $109.5 based on the ratings of eight analysts. The price target implies a nearly 24% potential upside from the current stock price.
On Feb. 13, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting revenues of $1.58 billion, slightly missing the street view of $1.60 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43691982/iron-mountain-q4-earnings-storage-and-data-center-revenue-growth-dividend-climbs-10-strong-2025-outlook">Benzinga.</a>&nbsp;
Total reported revenues (excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange) increased 11.4% compared to the prior year. This was driven by an 8.8% increase in storage rental revenue and a 17.2% increase in service revenue.

Iron Mountain expects full-year 2025 revenues in the range of $6.65 billion to $6.80 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $6.77 billion.
Given the expected upside potential of 24%, growth-focused investors may find Iron Mountain stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 3.56%.

If You Invested $10K In Iron Mountain Stock 10 Years Ago, How Much Would You Have Now?

Financial markets have been volatile since President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election on Nov. 5, 2024</a>, and subsequent inauguration.

Shares of REIT and utility stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness. Rising Treasury yields may be driving a rotation out of income-paying sectors.

JP Morgan analyst Andrew Steinerman maintains Iron Mountain (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $125 to $112.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Iron Mountain, Lowers Price Target to $112

During a briefing in the Oval Office on Feb. 11, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43690690/elon-musk-urges-trump-to-delete-entire-agencies-as-doge-lead-calls-for-radical-us-spending-cuts-remove-the-roots-of-the-weeds">Elon Musk highlighted</a> an outdated government system that still processes federal retirements by hand—in a limestone mine in Pennsylvania that's been used since 1955.
"There's a limestone mine where we store all the retirement paperwork… This mine looks like something out of the '50s, because it was started in 1955, so it looks like it's, like, a time warp," Musk said. He went on to describe how the speed of an old elevator inside the mine determines how quickly retirements can be processed. "And when the elevator breaks down, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43606795/are-you-on-track-to-retire-richer-than-90-of-people-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-rank-among-the-top-savers">nobody can retire</a>. Doesn't that sound crazy?"

</ul>
The mine in Boyers, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, houses the Office of Personnel Management's Retirement Operations Center, where over 700 employees manually handle up to 10,000 retirement applications per month. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/02/12/federal-retirement-mine-pennsylvania-elon-musk/78466272007/">According to USA Today</a>, a 2023 Inspector General report cited three main reasons for the backlog: a reliance on paper applications, staffing shortages, and errors in forms that slow down processing.
Musk criticized the inefficiency, revealing that the maximum number of retirees the system can handle in a month is 10,000, despite a growing backlog. In January, OPM received over 16,000 new retirement claims but processed only 6,700. Even when processing speeds improve, the backlog remains above 13,000 applications at any given time, USA Today reported.&nbsp;
Trending: 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>.
Musk didn't hold back on the workforce issue either. "There needs to be a lot of people working for the federal government, but not as many as currently," he said. "Instead of working in a mine shaft, carrying manila envelopes to boxes in a mine shaft, you can do practically anything else and you would add to the goods and services of the United States in a more useful way."
The mine is owned and operated by Iron Mountain&nbsp; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>), a storage and data managemen company. After Musk's comments, CNBC said that Iron Mountain's stock dropped over 10%, though CEO Bill Meaney downplayed the impact, pointing out that government document storage accounts for less than half a percent of the company's physical storage revenue. He also emphasized that Iron Mountain earns $130 million annually from digital transformation services, compared to just $10 million from storing government documents.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>

A 2014 Washington Post report detailed previous failed automation attempts, with over $100 million spent across three decades to try to update the system. More recently, Federal News Network reported last summer that OPM was piloting an online retirement application, though widespread adoption is still far off.
As Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative moves forward, his criticism has put new pressure on the government to overhaul an outdated system—one that, for now, is still running on paper, in a cave, with an elevator deciding when retirees get their benefits.

'It's Like A Time Warp': Elon Musk Exposes Government's 1950s Retirement System — Still Processing Paperwork By Hand In A Limestone Mine

Wall Street climbed on Thursday, even as the Producer Price Index (PPI) sharply exceeded estimates in January, reigniting concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43692996/inflation-fears-mount-as-producer-prices-soar-to-35-put-fed-interest-rate-cut-on-ice">over persistent inflationary pressures. </a>
Despite the hotter-than-expected PPI reading—up 3.5% year-over-year in January, surpassing the 3.3% forecast—investors found some relief in certain PPI components that influence the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, which showed signs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43701823/economists-breathe-sigh-of-relief-why-producer-inflation-isnt-as-bad-as-it-seems">cooling compared to December.</a>
Investor risk appetite remained supported by expectations of ceasefire talks in Ukraine following a conversation between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin a day earlier. 
By midday trading in New York, all major indices were in positive territory, with technology stocks leading the gains. Among semiconductor stocks, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) continued to rally, surging 10% after strong performances in prior sessions. 
The U.S. chipmaker benefited from renewed buying momentum following comments from Vice President J.D. Vance, who indicated that the Trump administration plans to ease regulations to accelerate AI chip innovation in the U.S.
Intel has now soared over 27% this week, tracking its best weekly performance since 1974. 
The U.S. dollar extended its decline as Treasury yields pulled back sharply, reversing Wednesday&#8217;s surge.
In commodities, gold edged up 0.4% to $2,918 per ounce, oil remained steady at $71 per barrel, and natural gas surged 2.4% to $3.66 per million British thermal units. 
Sentiment in cryptocurrency markets remained subdued, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) sliding 2.4% to trade below $96,000.

Quarterly revenue of $1.58 billion, missing the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">street view of $1.60 billion</a>.
Total reported revenues (excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange) increased 11.4% compared to the prior year. This was driven by an 8.8% increase in storage rental revenue and a 17.2% increase in service revenue.
On a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA increased by 15.2% in the quarter Y/Y, driven by the increase in Global Records Information Management (RIM), Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) and data center.
AFFO was $368.0 million for the quarter, compared with $327.6 million last year, an increase of 12.3% driven by improved adjusted EBITDA. AFFO per share was $1.24, higher by 12% Y/Y.
Dividend: The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.785 per share, representing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43688270/iron-mountain-increases-quarterly-dividend-per-share-by-10" rel="noreferrer noopener">an increase of 10%</a>.
CEO William L. Meaney said the company continues to execute well against its Project Matterhorn growth strategy, delivering double-digit revenue growth in the quarter with strength across each of our business segments.
2025 Outlook:&nbsp;Iron Mountain&nbsp;expects revenues of $6.65 billion–$6.80 billion&nbsp;versus the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$6.77 billion estimate</a>&nbsp;and AFFO per share of $4.85–$4.95.
Iron Mountain stock surged over 53% in the last 12 months, driven by growth in its core storage and records management business and strategic expansion into sectors like data centers.
Price Action:&nbsp;IRM stock is up 0.02% at $102.75 premarket at&nbsp;the last check on Thursday.
