Alcoa's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.09 million shares sold short, which is 4.17% 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.

<h3>Comparing Alcoa'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>, Alcoa's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.83%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into Burlington Stores's Recent Short Interest

Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of Colgate-Palmolive Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $106.</a>
CL reported fourth-quarter earnings per share of $0.91, surpassing expectations (compared to the GS/FactSet consensus of $0.88/$0.89).
However, fourth-quarter organic sales growth of 4.3% fell short of predictions, impacted by a 50 basis point drag from lower private label volumes in Pet Nutrition, said the analyst.
Additionally, Hill&#8217;s Pet Nutrition faced challenges in Europe, leading to a miss in segment growth.
North America&#8217;s organic sales declined by 0.7%, while Europe and APAC experienced low-to-mid single-digit growth. Latin America and Africa/Eurasia saw high single-digit increases, opined the analyst.
Weaker organic sales growth, combined with higher-than-expected inflationary pressures, contributed to lower-than-anticipated gross margins and slightly weaker operating margins.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43316332">What&#8217;s In The Cards For Walmart This Earnings Season?</a>
According to the analyst, lower tax rate of 21.6% provided a $0.04 EPS boost, contributing to CL&#8217;s small EPS beat for the quarter.
Management has provided its initial FY25 guidance, which largely aligns with expectations, although foreign exchange headwinds are expected to impact net sales and possibly EPS for the year, per the analyst.
The analyst asserted that the company&#8217;s organic sales growth forecast of 3%—5% is consistent with its long-term target. This guidance accounts for the planned exit from private label pet nutrition in 2025, which is expected to have a larger impact than in the fourth quarter.
Overall, the analyst expects the stock to see modest declines due to weaker-than-expected organic sales growth.
The analyst considers CL one of the top-tier companies in the HPC coverage, consistently outperforming and raising its FY24 outlook, even amidst challenging market conditions.
After three years of strong growth, the analyst anticipates a more balanced environment in FY25 with slower price growth and improved volume/mix trends.
However, foreign exchange remains a potential risk, likely impacting gross margins and dollar EPS growth. Looking ahead, the analyst expects the company to maintain healthy revenue growth driven by favorable market trends and market share expansion, benefiting from household penetration and premiumization.
Price Action: CL shares are trading lower by 4.33% at $86.95 at the last check Friday.

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) continues its bold Bitcoin strategy with a new $563.4 million preferred stock offering, signaling unwavering confidence in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43201211/microstrategy-to-redeem-105b-in-convertible-notes-settles-conversions-with-shares">the apex crypto</a>.
The company <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/press/microstrategy-announces-pricing-of-strike-preferred-stock-offering-strk_01-31-2025">announced</a> on Friday that it has priced 7,300,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock at $80.00 per share, with settlement expected on Feb. 5.
According to the press release, MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds &#8220;for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This move aligns with the company&#8217;s ongoing strategy of leveraging its market position to accumulate more Bitcoin.
The preferred stock offering comes on the heels of MicroStrategy&#8217;s recent Bitcoin buying spree. 
The company acquired an additional 10,107 Bitcoin this week, extending its buying spree to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43201211/microstrategy-to-redeem-105b-in-convertible-notes-settles-conversions-with-shares">twelve consecutive week</a>s and bringing its total holdings to 471,107 BTC. 
This latest purchase was made at an average cost of $105,596 per Bitcoin, adjusting the company&#8217;s overall cost basis to $64,511 per coin.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has drawn both praise and scrutiny from analysts.

The company&#8217;s shareholders recently approved a significant increase in authorized stock, potentially fueling further Bitcoin purchases.

Cigna Group inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) shares are rebounding Friday after dropping on Thursday following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43337308/cigna-stock-dives-on-q4-earnings-miss-we-are-taking-corrective-actions-to-address-these-near-term-pressures">fourth-quarter earnings miss</a>.
What To Know: Cigna reported fourth-quarter revenue of $65.68 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $63.36 billion, but missed on earnings with an adjusted EPS of $6.64 versus expectations of $7.82. The earnings shortfall was driven by higher stop-loss medical costs, which contributed to an 8% decline in adjusted income from operations.
Despite the earnings miss, revenue grew 27% year-over-year, led by increases in pharmacy benefit services and specialty care. The company also announced a $6 billion increase to its share repurchase program, bringing total authorization to $10.3 billion.
Cigna provided 2025 guidance, expecting at least $252 billion in revenue, slightly above estimates. However, full-year adjusted EPS guidance of at least $29.50 fell short of analysts&#8217; expectations of $31.50.
Shares initially dropped 11.1% on Thursday but are rebounding potentially as investors focus on management's corrective actions and long-term strategy.
CI Price Action: Cigna Group shares were up 4.97% at $297.04 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) shares were climbing in on Friday, after having tanked in the previous trading session following the release of the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43335926/comcast-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-peacock-subscribers-surge-29-dividend-raised-15-billion-buyback-approved">fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BofA Securities On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6422c89f5ce4fa00014ff23b/jessica-reif%20ehrlich">Analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich</a> downgraded the rating from Buy to Neutral, while slashing the price target from $50 to $38.
Comcast continues to lose broadband market share amid a competitive environment "with still ramping FWA deployments and accelerating fiber builds," Reif Ehrlich said in the downgrade note. The U.S. broadband market has significantly matured, resulting in limited industry growth going ahead, she added.
The company's guidance for ARPU (average revenue per user) growth shows a softening to 3%-4%, "as it leans in converged (i.e. discounted) offerings," the analyst stated. "Peacock requires increased investment which will continue to be a drag on results," she further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Benchmark On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ca96e4b85e930001f446dd/matthew-harrigan">Analyst Matthew Harrigan</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating while reducing the price target to $55.
Comcast's stock tanked on Thursday after the company's broadband unit growth missed expectations again, Harrigan said. The stock was also impacted by President Michael Cavanaugh suggesting that Xfinity "could retreat from its 3%-4% broadband pricing collar if highly desirable to support a new connectivity bundled approach with greater emphasis on mobile," he added.
The implied valuation of Connectivity &amp; Platforms based on Comcast's current share price suggests the loss of 1.25 million broadband customers annually "with a complete absence of pricing power," the analyst stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Comcast</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a1c4e20efacff00015a984c/michael-ng">Analyst Michael Ng</a> reiterated a Buy rating while cutting the price target from $50 to $44.
Comcast's consolidated revenue of $31.9 billion came in ahead of the consensus of $31.6 billion, with adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share topping expectations of 86 per share, Ng said in a note. Management raised the dividend by eight cents to $1.32 per share for 2025 and the board approved a new share repurchase authorization of $15 billion, he added.
"CMCSA is now more aggressively using wireless as a tool to drive subscriber acquisition and retention resulting in near-term margin headwinds from elevated direct product costs, marketing, and ARPU headwinds," the analyst stated. The company's domestic broadband net additions could contract by 496,000 in 2025 and ARPU growth comes in at 3.0%, the low-end of the 3%-4% guidance range, he further stated.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59282ae6290fa7000185325b/timothy-horan">Analyst Timothy Horan</a> maintained an Outperform rating and price target of $55.
Comcast's strong fourth-quarter results were "largely overshadowed by weak subscriber growth, Content &amp; Experiences EBITDA guidance, and management not reiterating broadband ARPU growth of 3%-4%," Horan said. The company would find it difficult to grow revenue and EBITDA in 2025, given tough comps and investments in Theme Parks and Studios, he added.
Management plans to launch more aggressive promotions and pricing to stem the loss of share in broadband, the analyst stated. This is a risk to the Connectivity &amp; Platforms revenues and margins, he further said.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a53c034adcfa70001c2b366/maher-yaghi">Analyst Maher Yaghi</a> reiterated a Sector Outperform rating and price target of $48.
Comcast reported strong quarterly results but faced "continued pressure on broadband loading," Yaghi said. Although the company's subscriber losses in the fourth quarter were within expectations, "the stock is likely to remain pressured until those trends begin to revert," he added.
Given its strong balance sheet, Comcast is returning "significant capital to shareholders," with a large share repurchase plan, the analyst stated. "We believe the company is well positioned to continue to invest in its networks, but until we see a sustainable recovery in broadband subscriber additions, valuation multiples will likely be hard to expand," he further wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities On Comcast</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586cf168351b9b0001a3054e/barton-crockett">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586cf168351b9b0001a3054e/barton-crockett">Barton Crockett</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating on the stock.
Comcast's revenues grew by 2% year-on-year to $31.9 billion, while adjuste4d EBITDA rose 10% to $8.8 billion, Crockett said. Both topped consensus by around $300 million, he added.
The decline in the stock was the biggest single-day loss in over five years, the analyst stated. This was due to a steeper decline in broadband subscribers than was feared as well as the softening of ARPU guidance, he further mentioned.
CMCSA Price Action: Shares of Comcast had risen by 1.13% to $33.63 at the time of publication on Friday.
