<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 PepsiCo'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>, PepsiCo's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.19%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Cabaletta Bio shares are trading lower after Wells Fargo cut its price target on the stock from $20 to $12.

McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) shares are trading lower Friday on reports indicating the company will spend $100 million plan to address the impact of a recent E. Coli outbreak. 
What To Know: The outbreak, linked to slivered onions used in Quarter Pounder burgers, affected 104 individuals across 14 states and resulted in one death. In response, McDonald's temporarily removed Quarter Pounders from menus at 20% of its U.S. locations. The outbreak was confirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in October, prompting swift action from the company.
To address the crisis, McDonald's <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/story/mcdonalds-to-spend-100-plus-million-to-aid-operators-impacted-by-e-coli-outbreak/">will invest</a> $35 million in marketing and advertising campaigns to rebuild customer trust and foot traffic. Additionally, $65 million will be directed toward franchisee support, including deferrals on rent and royalties.
The outbreak hit as the company was working to improve sales through discounts and promotions, erasing nearly all of McDonald&#8217;s year-to-date gains. A $5 value meal had gained traction with low-income customers, boosting guest counts in the third quarter before the E. Coli crisis disrupted the momentum. Weekly sales dropped nearly 12% in late October and remain below last year's levels despite modest recovery in recent weeks.
MCD Price Action: McDonald shares were down 2.01% at $292.56 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Benzinga readers see more gains for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) after the leading cryptocurrency passed multiple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex">new all-time highs</a> after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41770352/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">Donald Trump's re-election</a>. 
The current all-time high for Bitcoin is $93,434.36, which was reached on Nov. 13. Before that, Bitcoin knocked out various prices in the $80,000s.
Benzinga recently asked its readers: "Which cryptocurrency do you think will see the biggest price increase by the end of 2025?" 
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin: 40%</li>
<li>Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>): 36%</li>
<li>Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>): 11%</li>
<li>Pepe Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>): 8%</li>
<li>Shiba Inu Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>): 7%</li>
</ul>
The poll found Bitcoin to be the winner, which comes with the cryptocurrency already up significantly over the last year and trading near all-time highs.
Dogecoin finished in second place getting 36% of the vote. While Dogecoin is up significantly over the past week and year, the coin still trades below its all-time highs.

Here are the current prices, seven-day returns, year-to-date returns and all-time highs for the cryptocurrencies in the poll.

A few decades ago, you'd made it if you hit that magic million-dollar mark. You were rich. These days, though, with skyrocketing costs and social media awash with luxury-laden highlights, it can feel like everyone's got a cool million in their back pocket. The truth? That's more illusion than reality. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37520117/dave-ramsey-reveals-people-arent-as-well-off-as-you-think-8-out-of-10-people-probably-cant-affor">financial guru Dave Ramsey put it</a>: "8 out of 10 people probably can't afford the home they're living in and the car they're driving."

</ul>
Social media tends to amplify what looks like wealth, leading to this widespread perception that everyone's swimming in money. But peek behind the scenes and it's clear that not as many people are flush with cash as it seems. So, let's break it down – how many Americans have a net worth of $1 million or more?
Spoiler Alert: It's Not As Many As You'd Think
According to the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances by the Federal Reserve, only about 12% of U.S. households have a net worth over $1 million. This means that the vast majority – 88% – are nowhere near that level. Keep in mind that this is "household" net worth, which likely assumes a two-person income and combined assets.&nbsp;
Wealth is highly concentrated and while the average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/23/12/36078165/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-m">U.S. household net worth is $1.06 million</a>, the median net worth is much lower, at $192,700. Translation: A few very wealthy households are driving up the average but most people are much closer to that median number.
Trending: ‘Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots"> this platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.38% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a>
Where Are the Millionaires?
Certain states and age groups stand out for context. New Jersey, for instance, has the highest rate of millionaire households – about 9.76% of homes there have a net worth over $1 million. Age-wise, those between 65 and 74 have the highest average net worth at $1.2 million but the median for that same group is just $266,400. In other words, while some retirees have saved a bundle, many are just getting by.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">401(k) balances tell a similar story</a>. The average 401(k) balance for Americans aged 65 and older is $272,588 but the median is just $88,488 – meaning half of people have less than that amount saved.
What Does It Mean to Have $1 Million?
A net worth of $1 million isn't the same as having that amount sitting in the bank. Net worth includes assets like home equity, investments and retirement accounts – things that aren't easily converted to cash. And with inflation driving up living costs, many Americans now consider $2.2 million the new minimum to feel "wealthy."
See Also: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
Are We All Millionaires Yet?
The short answer is no, not even close. And while social media may make it seem like everyone else is living in luxury, the reality is far more modest. In fact, most people are still trying to build their financial safety nets, making those few million-dollar net worthy seem rare and impressive.
Next time you scroll through someone's highlight reel, remember: what you see is just that – a highlight.&nbsp;
If you&#8217;re looking to hit that million-dollar mark yourself, it's less about flash and more about patience and steady saving. Say you're 35 and you've got $20,000 already saved. Assuming an average annual return of 7% – a common benchmark for long-term investments – you'd need to save around $5,000 a year or about $417 a month to reach $1 million by age 65. If you increase that amount as your income grows, you'll reach your goal even sooner. The key is consistency, letting time and compounding work their magic.
Of course, this is just one scenario and everyone's situation differs. The best way to map out your path is by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">talking to a financial advisor</a>. They can help you customize a strategy that fits your income, goals and lifestyle, whether you're aiming for that million or a secure retirement.

Can You Guess What Percent Of People Have $1 Million Saved? Spoiler Alert – It's Far Lower Than Most Statistics Lead You To Believe

In the current market session, AeroVironment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVAV#NASDAQ">AVAV</a>) share price is at $205.00, after a 0.37% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 7.54%, but in the past year, increased by 56.33%. 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/2024/1731702712_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at AeroVironment P/E Relative to Its Competitors</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. 
AeroVironment has a better P/E ratio of 97.73 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 80.64 of the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry. Ideally, one might believe that AeroVironment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731702712_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.
