Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Peering Into Keurig Dr Pepper's Recent Short Interest

<p><strong>Deere &amp; Company </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/de#NYSE">DE</a>) has recalled about 147,900 compact utility tractors in the United States due to a potential brake failure risk, per reports. This voluntary recall will ensure customer safety.</p>
<p>The recall applies to models 1023E, 1025R and 2025R sold between November 2017 and July 2024. In Canada, the company has recalled another 16,800 of the compact utility tractor models.</p>
<p>The front bell crank in the brake linkage of the recalled tractors may break, endangering users in the event of a crash, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (&quot;CPSC&quot;). There have been four reports of brake linkage failure in the United States so far, with one hospitalization, two impact injuries and minor damages to the tractors.</p>
<h2>Deere&#39;s Commitment to Safety</h2>
<p>The company is proactively addressing the issue in collaboration with the U.S. CPSC.</p>
<p>Deere instructed the impacted customers not to operate their tractors until they receive a free repair from an authorized Deere dealer. Customers have easy access to repair services due to over 2,000 dealerships in the United States and Canada. If the consumer is unable to move the tractor to a dealer&#39;s site, the company will arrange to repair the unit at the consumer&#39;s home.</p>
<h2>DE&#39;s Topline Dips Y/Y in Q3</h2>
<p>Deere reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings of $6.29 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.80. The bottom line, however, plunged 38% from the prior-year quarter.</p>
<p>This was due to lower shipment volumes across all segments, reflecting weak demand, which was somewhat negated by the company&#39;s pricing strategies and cost-saving measures.</p>
<p>Net sales of equipment operations (comprising Agriculture, and Turf, Construction and Forestry) were $11.39 billion, down 19.9% year over year. However, net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.87 billion. Total net sales (including financial services and others) were $13.15 billion, down 16.8% year over year.</p>
<h2>Deere&#39;s 2024 Net Income Outlook Indicates Y/Y Dip</h2>
<p>Deere stated that in the wake of challenging conditions in the global agricultural and construction sectors, the company will align its production with demand levels and also take steps to reduce costs. Deere maintained its guidance of net income for fiscal 2024 at $7 billion. The view suggests a 31% decline from net income of $10.2 billion reported in fiscal 2023.</p>
<p>Net sales for Production &amp; Precision Agriculture are expected to decrease 20-25% year over year in fiscal 2024. Sales of Small Agriculture &amp; Turf are expected to dip 20-25%. Deere projects sales of Construction &amp; Forestry to be down 10-15%. The Financial Services segment&#39;s net income is expected to be $720 million.</p>
<h2>DE Share Price Outperforms Industry</h2>
<p>DE shares have gained 8.7% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 4%.</p>

Each stock presently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).</p>
<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Crane&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $5.07 per share. The consensus estimate for 2024 earnings has moved north by 6% in the past 60 days. The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 11.2%. CR shares have gained 75.2% in a year.</p>

<p><strong>AECOM </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acm#NYSE">ACM</a>) won a contract from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to provide program management, design and engineering services.</p>
<p>Banking on its Sustainable Legacies strategy, ACM will support Metro&#39;s ambitious goal of transitioning its bus fleet to Zero Emission Buses. Also, it will focus on charging infrastructure conceptual design, specification, and procurement. Its expertise will help guide the seamless transition to zero-emission operations, offering innovative solutions to complex transportation challenges.</p>
<p>The sustainable and efficient transit system aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving air quality for Los Angeles County residents. On an impressive note, the initiative is one of the largest electric bus programs in the United States and is supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.</p>
<h2>ACM&#39;s Stock Performance</h2>
<p>The company&#39;s shares have gained 11.6% so far this year, which is nearly one-third of the Zacks Engineering - R and D Services industry&#39;s 36.2% growth.</p>
<p><img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/db/79473.jpg?v=371988059" /></p>

<p>This Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company has been ailing from labor shortages, particularly in skilled trades. Inflationary pressures, particularly in raw materials and energy, could also be bothering margins. This apart, broader economic uncertainties, such as fears of a recession or global economic slowdown, might be impacting the infrastructure sector. Investors could be cautious about long-term infrastructure spending, especially if government funding slows down.</p>
<h2>ACM&#39;s Strong Backlog &amp; Global Demand Drive Raises Hope</h2>
<p>Mitigating the above-mentioned headwinds, AECOM has been experiencing robust growth across all its segments, backed by strong pipeline visibility for the upcoming quarters. Healthy state and local budgets, along with increased private sector investments in water and energy transitions, have contributed to this upward trend.</p>
<p>Additionally, the U.K. water market is expected to see accelerated growth over the next five years, driven by a near doubling of AMP8 funding. AECOM&#39;s deep expertise with major water utilities positions it well to benefit from this expansion.</p>
<p>Global demand for infrastructure development is rising, further increasing the need for AECOM&#39;s services. As of the fiscal third-quarter end, the total backlog was $23.36 billion compared with $23.21 billion reported in the prior-year period. The current backlog level includes 54.8% contracted backlog growth.</p>
<p>Ongoing contract wins are expected to boost prospects. Global infrastructure spending trends remain strong, providing further opportunities for AECOM&#39;s continued expansion.</p>
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
<p>Some better-ranked stocks in the same space are:</p>
<p><strong>Sterling Infrastructure, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/strl#NASDAQ">STRL</a>) presently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Sterling Infrastructure has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 17.4%, on average.</p>

<p>The stock market rally has been showing no sign of stopping, and while most of it has been driven by Big Tech, it is worth looking into some little-known <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a>. These stocks usually see huge breakouts and trade at big premiums during bullish rallies. We haven&rsquo;t seen that happen across most penny stocks just yet, but I think it&rsquo;s a good reason to buy up some high-potential names if you are willing to stomach the risks.</p>



<p>Of course, many of these penny stocks are more than just short- to mid-term plays. Most of these up-and-coming firms have huge growth runways, and analysts expect explosive growth over the next decade. If they execute as expected, I believe it is possible that they could turn a $10k investment into something life-changing. Let&rsquo;s take a look!</p>



<h2>OptiNose (OPTN)</h2>

I&rsquo;ve been closely watching this little-known penny stock, and I believe it could be a potential hidden gem for risk-tolerant investors.</p>



<p>Their lead product, XHANCE, has shown strong efficacy in treating chronic sinusitis, which, according to their market research, is a key driver of prescribing behavior.</p>



<p>OptiNose is admittedly a speculative bet, but I think the potential payoff could be substantial. The stock has been stuck trading around the $1 level for over a year, but with these promising developments, I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised to see a breakout if they can execute well.</p>



<p>What I particularly like about OptiNose is its solid and rapidly growing sales base. Analysts are projecting revenue to skyrocket from <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/OPTN/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">$92 million in 2024 to $342 million by 2028</a>, with profitability expected by 2026.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-9.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-9.png" alt="penny stocks: OptiNose operating profits"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>If everything goes according to plan, the stock is trading at just 3 times 2027 earnings estimates right now.</p>



<p>Of course, the key question is whether their growth plans will play out as hoped. Biotech and pharma startups are always a risky bet. But OptiNose seems to have weathered the worst and has a strong foundation upon which to build. This beaten-down stock could be a hidden multibagger in the making. Just be sure to do your own diligence.</p>



<h2>Unusual Machines (UMAC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="165" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/dronesmsn-300x165.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Unusual Machines</strong> (NYSEMKT:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/umac-stock-quote/"><strong>UMAC</strong></a>) manufactures drones and drone components. I&rsquo;m very bullish on drone startups like Unusual Machines. There simply aren&rsquo;t enough of these companies in the U.S. right now, especially ones focused on producing inexpensive military drones for reconnaissance and combat purposes.</p>



<p>Most of those cheaper military drones are currently mass-produced in China and Russia. Meanwhile, the U.S. relies on a handful of giant defense contractors making very expensive drones. I believe this supply chain vulnerability is becoming increasingly apparent to governments worldwide. They&rsquo;re scrambling to ink deals with promising upstart drone makers to diversify their sources.</p>



<p>That&rsquo;s where Unusual Machines comes in. Sure, with just <a target="_blank" href="https://www.stocktitan.net/news/UMAC/">$619,000 in sales</a> (the sales were made in just 45 days) last quarter, it&rsquo;s tiny and unprofitable. However, after a recent $5 million IPO and acquiring key operating units like Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, this <strong>Red Cat Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rcat-stock-quote/"><strong>RCAT</strong></a>) spinoff has big potential, in my view. Management is moving fast to start churning out NDAA-compliant drone parts from its new Orlando headquarters.</p>



<p>If it can secure those critical &ldquo;Blue UAS&rdquo; certifications soon, lucrative government contracts could follow and really jumpstart growth. Of course, this is an extremely speculative play. I&rsquo;m banking on a rosy future that may not materialize. UMAC is only suitable if you seriously want to turn $10k into a million and take on the risks that come with it.</p>



<h2>High Tide (HITI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cannabis-stocks1600-3-300x169.png" alt="scientist checking organic hemp wild plants in a cannabis weed commercial greenhouse. Concept of herbal alternative medicine, cbd oil, pharmaceutical industry. Cannabis stocks, FLGC stocks"><div>Source: Chokniti-Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>High Tide</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hiti-stock-quote/"><strong>HITI</strong></a>) operates as a retail-focused cannabis company. I covered this little-known penny stock over a year ago, and it&rsquo;s already up by a whopping 80% since then, but I believe High Tide still has substantial upside potential. High Tide generated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/high-tide-achieves-record-q2-financial-milestones">9.4 million CAD in free cash flow in Q2</a>, more than the prior two quarters combined. It&rsquo;s a rare gem in the cannabis space that isn&rsquo;t burning cash and is on the cusp of sustained profitability.</p>



<p>Once High Tide firmly establishes consistent earnings and accelerates its expansion, I expect this stock could deliver multibagger returns from current levels based solely on the Canadian market opportunity. However, the real game-changer would be U.S. federal cannabis legalization. High Tide already has a footprint in the U.S. but operates with restraints.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-10.png"><img width="1226" height="741" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-10.png" alt="High Tide sales by region chart"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>If it can replicate its Canadian success in a market 10 times larger, this under-the-radar stock could turn a $10k investment into something much more meaningful.</p>



<h2>Blackline Safety (BLKLF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/fr_firstindustrial1600-300x169.png" alt="Back View of the Head of the Project Holds Laptop and Discussing Product Details with Chief Engineer while They Walk Through Modern Factory., FR rents out these spaces in the U.S."><div>Source: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Blackline Safety</strong> (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blklf-stock-quote/"><strong>BLKLF</strong></a>) is a Canadian industrial safety company that is riding the wave of onshoring and industrialization. Shares have already surged 150% from their late-2022 trough, but I think there&rsquo;s plenty of room for this rebound to run. The stock still trades nearly 40% below its February 2020 peak despite the company being perfectly positioned to capitalize on the manufacturing renaissance in the U.S. and Canada.</p>



<p>As companies bring production closer to home, they must ensure their facilities meet the rigorous safety standards in these markets. That&rsquo;s where Blackline shines. Its connected safety technology is already seeing booming demand, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/business-wire/20240613677452/blackline-safety-reports-highest-quarterly-revenue-ever-q2-hits-316m-up-31-year-over-year">revenue jumping 31% YOY to a record $31.6 million</a> in Q2.</p>



<p>Blackline achieved this growth while also expanding its gross margins to 57% and slashing its cash burn by 78%. This tells me that as the company scales up to meet the surging need for industrial safety, its bottom line could boom.</p>



<p>So, while Blackline may be under the radar now, I believe it&rsquo;s a hidden gem that won&rsquo;t stay hidden for long.</p>



<h2>Talkspace (TALK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/talkspace-300x169.jpg" alt="The Talkspace (TALK) logo is displayed on a smartphone screen."><div>Source: Ben__Stevens / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Talkspace</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/talk-stock-quote/"><strong>TALK</strong></a>) is a leading virtual behavioral health company that connects individuals with licensed therapists through its platform. While telemedicine stocks were all the rage during the COVID-19 pandemic, Talkspace&rsquo;s shares have been on a wild ride since going public. After a sharp decline, the stock surged nearly 500% from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024 before recently pulling back around 43%. I believe this presents an attractive entry point.</p>



<p>In Q1 2024, Talkspace delivered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-talkspace-reports-profitability-in-q1-with-revenue-growth-93CH-3427451">36% YOY revenue growth to $45.4 million</a> and achieved its first quarter of profitability with an $800,000 adjusted EBITDA. Management&rsquo;s execution on expanding covered lives, and driving utilization is clearly paying off. The recent Medicare launch in multiple states offers another significant growth catalyst.</p>



<p>With profits expected in 2025, along with a <a target="_blank" href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TALK/earnings/estimates">projected 26% sales growth</a> in 2024 and 17-20% annual increases thereafter, I see ample room for upside. Talkspace is well-positioned to benefit from powerful tailwinds. This includes the destigmatization of mental health and younger generations preferring to do everything online.</p>



<h2>Kneat.com (KSIOF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/pte_biotech_1600-300x169.png" alt="Medical technology network team meeting concept. Doctor hand working smart phone modern digital tablet laptop computer graphics chart interface, sun flare effect photo, PTE"><div>Source: everything possible / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Kneat.com</strong> (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ksiof-stock-quote/"><strong>KSIOF</strong></a>) provides software validation solutions for the life sciences industry. The stock has rebounded significantly, up 37% in the past six months alone. I believe Kneat is well-positioned to benefit from the plethora of biotech startups that need validation software to ensure compliance with industry regulations.</p>



<p>In Q1, Kneat&rsquo;s annual recurring revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/kneat-announces-record-revenue-for-first-quarter-2024">jumped an impressive 57% to 42.1 million CAD</a>. The gross profit margin expanded from 67% to a robust 74%, while operating expenses grew at a much more modest 17% pace compared to the 77% surge in Q1 2023.</p>



<p>Management noted they are landing major new customer wins across North America, Europe, and Asia, which are fueling the growth. However, the real potential lies in expanding these relationships over time. As Kneat becomes ingrained and trusted within organizations, it can multiply its revenue per customer.</p>



<p>GuruFocus&rsquo; DCF model believes the stock will compound through 2026.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-11.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-11.png" alt="KSIOF gurufocus price"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><h2>One Stop Systems (OSS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/computers1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="a man working on a computer hard drive"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>One Stop Systems</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/oss-stock-quote/"><strong>OSS</strong></a>) designs and manufactures high-performance edge computing systems for AI and other applications. Despite seeing a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/OSS/earnings/">24.6% YOY revenue decline to $12.65 million</a> in Q1 2024, I believe OSS is poised for a strong rebound as AI takes off.</p>



<p>The company has done a stellar job shifting its focus to the booming defense and commercial markets, especially for AI and machine learning at the edge. CEO Mike Knowles <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/one-stop-systems-oss-strong-buy-rating-on-ai-pivot-and-long-term-growth-potential-1033188679">noted</a> OSS has expanded its 5-year pipeline to over $1 billion, with 70% from multi-year platform opportunities that should drive more predictable revenue.</p>



<p>While the near-term upside may be limited as many AI/ML applications are still in development and testing phases, I&rsquo;m confident OSS is very well-positioned for the coming wave. HPC and enterprise computing needs are exploding as AI startups proliferate, and transformative systems like OpenAI&rsquo;s Sora could send demand soaring even higher.</p>



<p>OSS is admittedly a high-risk, high-reward bet in this nascent industry. But for investors willing to stomach the volatility, I believe getting in early on OSS&rsquo;s turnaround story could deliver incredible returns if the AI rally keeps charging ahead in the years to come.</p>
