<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>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.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Bright Horizons Family?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $201.62, after a 0.90% increase. Over the past month, Badger Meter Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMI#NYSE">BMI</a>) stock increased by 6.68%, and in the past year, by 14.03%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Badger Meter P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 47.54 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, Badger Meter Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 44.01. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745352026_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Beyond The Numbers: 6 Analysts Discuss Xometry Stock

Bank of America Securities analyst Jeffrey Spector is bullish on self-storage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit">real estate investment trusts (REITs)</a>.
Sector demand will normalize and maintain current levels, which is positive given current macro uncertainties, he explained.
Spector also expects self‑storage REITs to benefit in 2025 from easier year‑over‑year comparisons, a return to typical seasonal trends, and an 8% decline in new construction starts.
Public Storage (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSA#NYSE">PSA</a>): The analyst upgraded the company&#8217;s stock from Neutral to Buy and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/psa/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $349 to $368</a>.
The upgrade reflects a more optimistic outlook for the self‑storage sector and recognition of PSA's strong balance sheet.
The analyst adds that the company has the lowest leverage ratio among peers, which can protect it if economic conditions deteriorate or capital markets tighten.
BAC storage card data indicates that spending in PSA's markets increased 1.7% year‑over‑year in the first quarter of 2025, up 0.1% in the first quarter of 2024.
The analyst raised the 2025 revenue growth estimates to +0.1% from -0.3%.
Public Storage plans to release <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly results on April 30</a>.
Extra Space Storage Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXR#NYSE">EXR</a>): Spector upgraded the company&#8217;s stock from Underperform to Neutral. He also increased the price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/exr/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast to $155 from $141</a>.
The bullish stance reflects a preference for self‑storage over more macro‑sensitive sectors like industrial.
Recent channel checks in Chicago indicate that ECRI initiatives faced minimal resistance in the first quarter, which should support revenue growth in 2025, adds the analyst.
The analyst expects EXR to benefit from its single‑brand strategy, which is rebranding LSI facilities and continued cost savings in 2025.
Additionally, BAC credit and debit card data indicates improving consumer spending trends in EXR's markets, evidenced by a 1.8% year‑over‑year rise in average spending in the first quarter of 2025 (up from 0.6% in the prior year&#8217;s quarter), adds the analyst.
The analyst raised the 2025 revenue growth estimates to +0.5% from +0.3%.
The company plans to release quarterly results on April 29.
Price Action: EXR shares are up 2.63% at $141.83, and PSA stock surged 3.29% at $297.04&nbsp;at the last check Tuesday.

Self-Storage REITs Score Upgrade From BofA Analyst: 8% Decline In New Construction Helps Sector

The first big economic pulse check since President Donald Trump's tariff announcement arrives Wednesday, and Wall <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">Street is watching closely.</a>
S&amp;P Global will release its flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) surveys for April, covering the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. 
These surveys will provide the first broad snapshot of business sentiment since the April 2 tariff announcement.
While the 90-day pause may have delayed the most severe or recession-like signals, investors will be watching closely for early signs of strain — or unexpected resilience — already emerging in the data.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US April Flash PMIs: What Economists Expect</h3>
Consensus forecasts suggest a pullback in both U.S. manufacturing and services. According to TradingEconomics, economists expect:
<ul>
<li>Manufacturing PMI to decline from 50.2 in March to 49.4 in April</li>
<li>U.S. Services PMI to fall from 54.4 to 52.8</li>
</ul>
Any reading below 50 signals contraction. These forecasts suggest that America's factory activity could return to negative territory, while services — still growing — are likely to slow down.
"The flash releases of S&amp;P Global's PMIs will offer the first broad-reaching view of business conditions in April. They are expected to show manufacturing in contraction and growth of service-providing businesses slowing," Comerica's chief economist Bill Adams said.
The bank projects an even weaker outlook than consensus, seeing the manufacturing PMI at 49 and services down to 51.5.
Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius said the firm is focused on the new export orders component of the survey. March data showed sharp declines in countries like Canada and Mexico, which were affected by early tariff announcements.
"Historically, each 1-point drop in new export orders has predicted a 0.75 percentage point hit to year-over-year export growth," Hatzius said, adding that while some export strength may reflect frontloading, a reversal is likely once tariffs are implemented.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Implications: Another Volatility Trigger?</h3>
Investors are poised to interpret the PMI data as a leading indicator of tariff-related disruptions. 
A weaker-than-expected release would likely confirm fears that global supply chains are already feeling the pressure, potentially weighing further on risk assets.
In contrast, stronger-than-expected readings could ease fears of a global downturn, suggesting that businesses are adapting better than feared, at least for now.
Since Trump's April 2 tariff announcement — which he branded as &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; — the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has dropped 7%, reflecting heightened uncertainty and flight from equities. Meanwhile, gold, tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), has risen 8%, signaling investors' rush toward safety amid the unfolding trade tensions.

Will Tariffs Leave A Mark? Business Activity Data Lands Wednesday In First Read Since Trump's Move

Herc Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRI#NYSE">HRI</a>) reported first-quarter financial results before the market open on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44917566/herc-holdings-reports-first-quarter-2025-results-and-affirms-2025-full-year-guidance">of the report</a>.
Q1 Earnings: Herc Holdings reported first-quarter revenue of $861 million, beating analyst estimates of $849.44 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.30 per share, down from $2.36 per share in the prior year&#8217;s quarter.
Total revenue was up 7% year-over-year, driven by record equipment rental revenue of $739 million, up 3% year-over-year. 
The company ended the quarter with $48 million in cash and cash equivalents. Including unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility, Herc Holdings had $1.9 billion of liquidity as of March 31. 
&#8220;Our national account business is growing, fueled by federal and private funding for large construction projects like data centers, manufacturing onshoring and LNG facilities. At the same time, while facility maintenance, municipal, and infrastructure projects are supporting the local markets, other more interest-rate sensitive projects continue to be on hold, restricting overall local account growth,&#8221; said Larry Silber, president and CEO of Herc Holdings.
&#8220;Against this uneven backdrop, Herc&#8217;s diversified business model helps drive resiliency &#8230; And we remain on pace to outperform the overall equipment rental market again this year as Team Herc continues to identify opportunities to deliver value for our customers, while managing our fleet and capital strategically and with discipline.&#8221;
Outlook: Herc Holdings expects 2025 equipment rental revenue growth of 4% to 6%, excluding Cinelease. The sale process for the Cinelease studio entertainment business is ongoing. A transaction is expected to be completed in 2025.
The company anticipates full-year adjusted EBITDA of $1.575 billion to $1.65 billion, excluding Cinelease. 
HRI Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/HRI">Herc Holdings shares</a> were down 7.88% at $102.71 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Herc Holdings Stock Slides On Q1 Earnings: The Details

Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) is trading 2.85% higher at $142.17 on Tuesday, extending its recent streak of gains and continuing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-solana#:~:text=Make%20Your%20Purchase&amp;text=To%20complete%20the%20transaction%2C%20head,you%20would%20like%20to%20purchase.">outpace much of the broader crypto market</a>.&nbsp;
The token is now up 7.15% over the past week and 6.5% over the past month as institutional flows and retail speculation converge to drive momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Galaxy Digital Rotates Into Solana</h2>
One of the most talked-about catalysts this week is Galaxy Digital's strategic portfolio shift away from Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and into Solana. According to blockchain data, Galaxy transferred 65,600 ETH—worth approximately $105 million—to Binance and withdrew 752,240 SOL, valued around $98.4 million, over the last two weeks.
The move follows recent commentary from Standard Chartered, which flagged a "structural decline" in Ethereum and slashed its year-end target for the asset, according to CoinDesk. In contrast, Solana's network activity and investor engagement continue to trend upward.

</ul>
Solana has also overtaken Ethereum in key usage metrics. According to Dune Analytics, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on Solana exceeded $500 billion in the last three months, compared to less than $400 billion on Ethereum. Active addresses on the network now stand above 220 million, outpacing Ethereum's 80 million.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Mania and Memecoin Surge</h2>
Adding to the buzz, the memecoin wave on Solana has reignited thanks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fartcoin-price-prediction">the unexpected surge of Fartcoin</a>, which now trades above $1 and boasts a market cap north of $1 billion.&nbsp;
Speculators have rushed in, with trading volume rising and leveraged bets increasing across Solana-based platforms. While memecoins often carry high volatility and short-lived hype cycles, the spike in activity has drawn more attention to Solana's ecosystem and helped drive up transactional volume and visibility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Setup and Outlook</h2>
From a technical perspective, Solana's break above $140 has opened the door for a potential retest of recent highs in the $145–$148 range. Momentum indicators are firming, and on-chain flow remains positive. Solana is one of the stronger altcoin players in this cycle, especially amid concerns over Ethereum's scalability and Layer-2 fragmentation.
With investor sentiment shifting and market structure favoring fast, high-throughput chains, Solana appears poised to maintain its current trajectory—provided broader market conditions remain supportive.
