Super Micro Computer, Adobe And Nucor Are Among Top Large Cap Losers Last Week (December 9-13): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Shares of Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) are falling on Friday. This follows Thursday&#8217;s drop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42462859/this-hershey-analyst-turns-bearish-here-are-top-5-downgrades-for-thursday">of more than 5%.</a>
There is a good chance the selloff ends around current levels. There is also a chance that the stock reverses and rallies, so Benzinga&#8217;s team of technical analysts has made it our &#8220;Stock of the Day.&#8221;
The move lower was the result of a downgrade by UBS from Buy to Neutral. &nbsp;UBS also downgraded other steel companies as well. It cut Commercial Metals Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMC#NYSE">CMC</a>) from Buy to Sell and Steel Dynamics, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) from Buy to Neutral.
UBS downgraded the entire steel industry. It said that the risk-reward profile has become "less compelling" and "more balanced.
There is a chance that the sell-off will soon end.

As you can see on the chart, the stock found support around $130. This level was support in January and May 2023.
An important technical analysis dynamic that successful traders understand is that there tends to be support at price levels that had been support before.
This is because of psychology. There are traders and investors who sold shares while they were at support. Some of them decided they made a mistake when the price ripped higher soon after. A number of these remorseful sellers vowed to buy their shares back if they could get them at the same price they were sold for.
So, now that the stock has returned to around $130, they are placing buy orders. The large concentration of these orders has created support at the same price that had been support before.
Sometimes stocks rally after they reach support. This is also due to psychology.
Some of the investors and traders who want to buy get nervous. They don't want to miss out, and they are afraid someone else will be willing to pay a higher price than they do. They know that's who the sellers will go to.
As a result, they raise the prices they are willing to pay. Other nervous buyers see this and do the same thing. It results in a snowball effect that can push the price higher.
Successful traders understand how psychology can affect price action. Seller's remorse can keep support intact. Nervous buyers can make stocks rally.

Nucor Increases Quarterly Dividend From $0.54 To $0.55 Per Share; Payable On February 11, 2025

Nucor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) short percent of float has risen 19.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.81 million shares sold short, which is 3.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nucor has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nucor'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>, Nucor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.42%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.

<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</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 the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Mercury Systems Posts Strong Results, Joins ArcBest, Tesla, Kennametal, Qualys And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Wednesday

The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record levels on Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
In Congress, Republicans clinched a majority in the Senate, while the House race remains close. As of Wednesday morning&#8217;s tabulations, Republicans held 198 seats versus 180 for Democrats.
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), climbed 2% to 5,900 points, while the Dow soared over 3% to 43,500 points. The blue-chip index, monitored through the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), marked its biggest single-day gain since November 2022.
The financials and industrials sectors were the top performers, up 5.2% and 3%, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 witnessed smaller gains, up 1.8%, while small-cap stocks skyrocketed, with the Russell 2000 index spiking over 5%. 
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; plummeted 22%, indicating waning investor concerns amid post-election optimism.
Investors are responding positively to the prospect of more lenient tax policies under the upcoming Trump administration, though inflation risks and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy highlighted by economists seem to be largely overlooked by the market for now.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Implications Of A Trump Presidency, Goldman Sachs Weighs In</h3>
&#8220;If Republicans secure a narrow House majority, this would likely enable a full extension of the 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2025, potentially with some reinstated business investment incentives,&#8221; wrote Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief economist.
A Republican-controlled Congress may also drive increased federal spending, particularly on defense, Goldman Sachs indicated.
"We would expect Trump to impose additional tariffs averaging 20% on imports from China," Hatzius added, highlighting that this policy could provide a &#8220;one-time boost to core PCE inflation&#8221; and &#8220;a modest drag on GDP.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs projects that the incoming Trump administration would likely pursue a more relaxed approach to regulation, especially in energy, financial services, and labor. 
However, while antitrust oversight may soften somewhat, scrutiny of the tech sector is expected to persist.
