The Analyst Verdict: Chord Energy In The Eyes Of 11 Experts

Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno is all in with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44092335/trumps-tariffs-threaten-canada-mexico-china-and-american-wallets">President Trump&#8216;s tariffs</a> on auto imports from Canada and Mexico. He says they&#8217;re worth the pain on the industry because they&#8217;ll help curb the flow of undocumented migrants and illegal drugs into the U.S. 
"Trump's 100% right, and all of us should rally around his demand that our two neighbors step up," Moreno said in an interview last week, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-03/ohio-senator-says-short-term-tariff-pain-worth-it-for-autos?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a> Bloomberg. "Until they do what they need to do, yes, am I willing to take some amount of short-term pain? Absolutely, 100%.&#8221;
Auto industry leaders have warned that the measures pose significant risks to industry profits, employment and sales as they prepare for higher costs and disruptions to their North American supply chains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Auto Workers In The Buckeye State</h2>
Ohio, home to nearly 100,000 auto and related industry workers, is the largest U.S. producer of engines and the second-largest producer of transmissions. Automakers with factories in Ohio include General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>). The Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>) is based in Ohio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Tariffs Take Effect</h2>
&#8220;The tariffs are all set,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103406/us-stocks-futures-tumble-as-traders-await-trumps-congress-address-volatility-is-certainly-being-fed-by-trump-20-moves-says-expert">told reporters</a> on Monday afternoon, saying that there was "no room" for Canada or Mexico to negotiate further delays. &#8220;They go into effect tomorrow.&#8221;
The tariffs impose 25% duties on most Canadian and Mexican imports while raising Chinese imports to 20%. These measures apply to approximately $1.5 trillion in annual imports, signaling to markets that Trump is willing to leverage economic pressure to generate revenue and boost domestic manufacturing jobs, noted the outlet.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moreno Wants To Repeal Emissions Rules</h2>
Moreno, who was a luxury car dealer in Cleveland before entering politics, recently introduced legislation backed by GM, Stellantis, and Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) that would repeal emissions rules and give tax breaks to car manufacturers by loosening fuel economy and clean-air regulations.
The GOP Senator, who contends that U.S. auto manufacturing has been under attack from inconsistent regulations, foreign competition and misguided federal policies, said his bill would give automakers greater flexibility and long-term stability, <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/02/us-sen-bernie-moreno-introduces-bill-to-repeal-emissions-rules-give-tax-breaks-to-automakers.html">according</a> to Cleveland.com. 
Moreno&#8217;s bill also proposes a 200% tax deduction on autoworker wages, contingent on employers meeting specific criteria, which he argues could help offset the financial strain of tariffs.

Trump's 25% Tariffs On Auto Imports Are Worth The 'Short-Term Pain,' Says Ohio GOP Senator

On Tuesday, D Boral Capital initiated coverage on Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TVGN#NASDAQ">TVGN</a>), a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech">clinical-stage immunotherapy company.</a>
The company&#8217;s lead pipeline product, TVGN-489, is a SARS-CoV-2-specific therapy.
Tevogen&#8217;s <a href="https://tevogen.com/pipeline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline</a> includes preclinical programs targeting Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphomas (TVGN -930), human papillomavirus-related cervical cancer (TVGN -920), multiple sclerosis (TVGN -601), and HPV-related mouth and throat cancer (TVGN-960).

Analyst Jason Kolbert writes Tevogen stands out by developing off-the-shelf T-cell therapies that address the challenges of traditional treatments.
Its unique technology allows for large-scale production of virus-targeting T cells without gene editing, making the therapies potentially safer, more affordable, and easier to access.
Unlike many competitors relying on complex, patient-specific methods, Tevogen's approach enables broader commercial use.
D Boral Capital has initiated with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TVGN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $10</a>.
Tevogen Bio, in January, received $2 million in non-dilutive grant funding from KRHP LLC (Grantor) with an additional $8 million to be contributed contingent on the Grantor&#8217;s review of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43286431/tevogen-bio-enters-agreement-to-receive-up-to-10-million-of-non-dilutive-grant-funding" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">company&#8217;s activities</a>.
On Monday, Tevogen Bio said it would receive the remaining $8 million in funding from the Grantor before the end of the current fiscal quarter based on the Grantor&#8217;s evaluation of the company&#8217;s progress, particularly in Tevogen Bio&#8217;s artificial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44086628/tevogen-bio-to-receive-8-million-of-non-dilutive-grant-funding-reiterates-efficient-operations" rel="noreferrer noopener">intelligence effort,&nbsp;Tevogen.AI</a>.
The analyst says, &#8220;With key clinical readouts ahead, an emphasis on operational efficiency, and the potential for industry collaborations, Tevogen represents an emerging leader in next-generation T cell therapies.&#8221;
The analyst also adds that encouraging study results could lead to regulatory talks, new partnerships, and expanded drug approvals. Tevogen&#8217;s technology may also have potential in solid tumors and autoimmune diseases.
Price Action: TVGN stock is up 9.32% at $1.29 at last check Tuesday.

Tevogen Bio's T-Cell Therapy Approach Stands Out, Analyst Sees Strong Potential

The cryptocurrency sector, often unified in its push against traditional financial systems, is facing a deepening rift over President Donald Trump's proposal to create a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44114998/trumps-cabinet-holds-bitcoin-solana-ethereumbut-no-cardano-or-xrp">U.S. strategic reserve of digital assets</a>.
What Happened: Unveiled in early March, the plan as ignited fierce debate over its implications for fiscal responsibility, economic equity, and the very ethos of the crypto movement. 
As Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, simultaneously pursues trillions in spending cuts, the contrast between these policies has sharpened divisions within the industry, pitting advocates of government-backed crypto adoption against those wary of using public funds to prop up volatile, unproven assets.
Trump's announcement, made via Truth Social on Sunday, named five cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADAA)—as candidates for the reserve.
According to data from CoinGecko, Bitcoin surged over 20% from the previous week's lows to $92,000 by Monday, with other listed tokens also rallying sharply.
The task force, established via executive order on Trump's Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, aims to cut $1 trillion from the deficit, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/18/musk-trump-interview-fox-news-sean-hannity">according </a>to Musk's statements in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Feb. 25.
DOGE has already claimed $55 billion in savings by Feb. 24, per its official website, targeting programs like USAID and DEI contracts at the Treasury.
Yet, the juxtaposition of these cuts with a plan to buy cryptocurrencies—assets known for wild price swings—has fueled accusations of inconsistency. 
"The overall goal is to try to get a trillion dollars out of the deficit, and if the deficit is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt," Musk told Hannity, a stance that clashes with the reserve's potential costs.
Estimates of the reserve's price tag remain vague, but the Congressional Budget Office projects the federal deficit at $2 trillion for fiscal year 2025. 
Trump has suggested raising the debt ceiling or revaluing gold to fund the purchases, per a CBS News report from Feb. 20, but no concrete mechanism has been legislated.

What Critics Are Saying: Critics argue this could divert billions into assets that, unlike Treasury bonds, lack proven long-term value.
Trump's late Sunday pledge to stockpile Bitcoin alongside Ether, XRP, SOL and ADA led to a sharp climb in the price of Bitcoin, which peaked at $92,000 on Monday.
 However, this created a notable disparity in the CME Bitcoin futures chart, with prices jumping from a Friday close of $84,500 to a Monday opening of $95,300. 
By Tuesday afternoon in Asian markets, this gap had closed as Bitcoin retreated to $83,500, erasing the prior day's gains.
Within the crypto sector, the divide is stark. 
Proponents, including some institutional investors, hail the reserve as a validation of digital assets' role in the global economy. 
The surge in Bitcoin's value post-announcement suggests a boon for early adopters, many of whom are affluent holders. 
However, dissenters like Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, have slammed the inclusion of altcoins like XRP and SOL, arguing it prioritizes enriching specific project founders over national interest. 
"Mow also criticized the selection of assets in the reserve, arguing it was designed to enrich specific projects rather than serve a national purpose," according to a <a href="https://x.com/dgwbirch/status/1896444932325351450">report</a>, echoing sentiments on X.
Why It Matters: This tension dovetails with DOGE's spending cuts, which have axed tens of thousands of federal jobs and shuttered agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, per TIME's Feb. 13 overview.
The irony isn't lost on critics: a government slashing discretionary spending—$1.8 trillion in 2024, per Al Jazeera—might redirect funds to speculative assets.
"Trump has promised not to cut either Social Security or Medicare… If that promise holds, it narrows DOGE's options for cutting spending by $1 trillion," Al Jazeera <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/25/how-the-us-spends-taxpayer-money-as-musk-led-doge-seeks-cuts">noted</a>, highlighting the fiscal tightrope.
The reserve's beneficiaries, critics contend, would be a select few—namely, wealthy crypto investors—while taxpayers shoulder the risk.
Legal hurdles loom large. 
DOGE's access to Treasury data has already sparked lawsuits, with a federal judge blocking it on Feb.8 per BBC News, citing privacy concerns.
The reserve would likely require Congressional approval, a process experts deem uncertain given the GOP's slim House majority and Senate dynamics, as PBS News reported on Feb. 8.
"It's not clear how much in savings can be achieved without Congress codifying it in law," said Douglas Elmendorf, former CBO director, in the PBS piece.
What&#8217;s Next: As of today, the crypto sector remains split.
Posts on X reflect growing unease, with users like author Dave Birch questioning the reserve's intent, while market data shows holders reaping immediate gains. 
For DOGE advocates, the reserve undermines their fiscal hawkishness; for crypto idealists, it betrays the decentralized dream.
With Bitcoin hovering at $83,500 and legislative battles ahead, Trump's plan has exposed a fault line that may redefine both crypto's future and America's fiscal priorities.

In the current market session, Realty Income Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) stock price is at $57.51, after a 0.07% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 7.65%, and in the past year, by 11.51%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Realty Income P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Realty Income has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 109.64 of the Retail REITs industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741113954_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.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Realty Income

JP Morgan analyst Pinjalim Bora reiterated the Neutral rating on GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>), lowering the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gtlb/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast to $62 from $65.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported quarterly earnings of 33 cents per share, which <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44095065/gitlab-shares-rise-after-better-than-expected-q4-report-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the analyst consensus estimate of 23 cents</a>. Quarterly revenue came in at $211.43 million, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $206.12 million.
GitLab sees first-quarter adjusted earnings of between 14 cents and 15 cents per share, and revenue in a range of $212 million to $213 million.
Bora acknowledges that the fourth quarter was a strong quarter for bookings, with several growth factors continuing to contribute.

Meanwhile, after adjusting for the pricing benefit, which remains in the low 20s percentage-wise, the analyst writes that the current stock price reflects a &#8220;balanced risk-reward&#8221; profile.
The analyst highlights that the guidance provided assumes several factors.
First, there is no change in the guidance approach compared to FY25. Second, the guidance assumes no significant shifts in the macroeconomic environment.
Third, GitLab isn&#8217;t factoring in extra caution regarding its public sector business, which accounts for 12% of its ARR, mostly tied to the U.S. federal government.
Lastly, while GitLab exceeded its initial FY25 pricing impact estimates of $15 million &#8211; $20 million, management expects a similar revenue impact in FY26, though they haven&#8217;t specified the exact amount, Bora writes.
Price Action: GTLB shares are trading higher by 5.71% to $59.46 at last check Tuesday.

On Tuesday, PepGen Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEPG#NASDAQ">PEPG</a>) announced its voluntary decision to temporarily pause the Phase 2 CONNECT2-EDO51 study of PGN-EDO51 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) until the company can review results <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44106225/pepgen-announces-update-to-phase-2-connect2-edo51-study-in-patients-with-dmd" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the 10 mg/kg cohort</a>.
The first two cohorts of the CONNECT1 study are fully enrolled and data from the 10 mg/kg cohort are expected during the third quarter of 2025. No new safety issues related to PGN-EDO51 have been observed since the company&#8217;s last safety update as of January 23, 2025.

&#8220;With our 10 mg/kg cohort of CONNECT1 study fully enrolled and data expected later this year, we decided to pause CONNECT2 until we are able to review results from the 10 mg/kg cohort in patients with DMD. This will allow us to gather additional safety data, assess the impact of this dose of PGN-EDO51 on dystrophin levels, and potentially improve the design of CONNECT2,&#8221; said James McArthur, president and CEO of PepGen.
&#8220;This decision enables us to focus resources on completing CONNECT1, as well as rapidly advancing our FREEDOM studies in myotonic dystrophy type 1 with PGN-EDODM1, in which we recently reported encouraging initial clinical data from the Phase 1 FREEDOM-DM1 study,&#8221; McArthur added.
In February, PepGen&nbsp;announced early data&nbsp;from its FREEDOM-DM1 trial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43918260/why-pepgen-pepg-stock-is-skyrocketing-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">for myotonic dystrophy</a>.
The study showed significant dose-dependent splicing correction, with mean corrections of 12.3% at 5 mg/kg and 29.1% at 10 mg/kg at 28 days post-dosing.
Price Action: PEPG stock is down 21% at $2.22 at the last check Tuesday.

PEPG

PepGen To Voluntarily Pause Mid-Stage Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Study, Stock Falls

A high-stakes deal that could have reshaped global supply chains has crumbled. The negotiations between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were meant to secure a partnership granting the US priority access to Ukraine's vast reserves of critical minerals &#8211; resources vital for military technology, electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced electronics. 
However, the talks unraveled over security concerns and shifting priorities, leaving both nations scrambling for alternatives. Now, the fallout is poised to send ripples through markets, affecting stocks and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs linked to these key industries</a>. Investors should closely monitor the funds and equities most exposed to this disruption.

ETFs In The Spotlight
With the deal off the table, ETFs tracking rare earth minerals, defense and EV industries could see increased volatility:
VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REMX#NYSE">REMX</a>): Holds stocks involved in rare earth mining and processing, sectors now facing renewed uncertainty. Pilbara Minerals Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) and Arcadium Lithium Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALTM#NYSE">ALTM</a>) are among its top holdings.
Global X Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIT#NYSE">LIT</a>): Focuses on lithium and battery-related companies, which depend on stable mineral supplies. The fund has allocated its assets to companies like Mineral Resources, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Albemarle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALB#NYSE">ALB</a>).
iShares US Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Tracks major defense contractors like Raytheon Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), that may face cost pressures due to supply chain disruptions. 
What Was At Stake?
The abandoned agreement would have given the US <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43968607/trump-negotiates-a-very-big-deal-for-ukraines-mineral-wealth">priority access to Ukraine's reserves of critical minerals</a> essential for military technology, EVs and advanced electronics. In return, Ukraine expected a financial boost, with 50% of state-owned mineral revenues going into an investment fund for economic recovery. However, without US security guarantees, Ukraine hesitated to finalize the deal, ultimately leading to its collapse.
With no agreement in place, both the US and Ukraine face economic and strategic setbacks. The US remains reliant on China for rare earth processing, while Ukraine may now seek alternative partnerships—potentially with China or European nations.

US Defense And Tech Stocks
The US defense and tech industries are major consumers of rare earth minerals. Companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies rely on these materials for advanced weaponry and aerospace systems. The lack of a stable mineral supply chain outside China could make sourcing components more expensive, potentially affecting these stocks.
Semiconductor giants like NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) could also see cost pressures, as rare earth elements are crucial for chip production. If US companies must continue depending on China for processing, it could impact supply chain stability and pricing.
Lithium and rare earth mining companies like MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>), which processes rare earths domestically, might see increased interest as the US looks to expand its refining capabilities.
What's Next?
With the US unable to secure a direct supply of Ukrainian minerals for now, Washington may have to fast-track domestic refining projects or seek alternative deals. Meanwhile, Ukraine might turn to European nations or even China to fill the gap. For now, investors should brace for potential market fluctuations in defense, tech and EV sectors.

Broken Deal, Big Consequences: How ETFs And Stocks Will React

On Monday, Pliant Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLRX#NASDAQ">PLRX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech">announced the discontinuation</a> of the BEACON-IPF Phase 2b trial, which evaluated bexotegrast in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The move follows a prespecified data review and recommendation by the trial&#8217;s independent Data Safety Monitoring Board and a secondary review and recommendation by an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44088147/pliant-therapeutics-stock-sinks-discontinues-mid-stage-study-for-lung-disorder" rel="noreferrer noopener">outside expert panel</a>.
Needham downgraded Pliant Therapeutics, citing no meaningful catalysts or upside drivers over the next year.

Needham analyst Joseph Stringer writes that the IPF program was the main value driver for Pliant Therapeutics.
The remainder of the pipeline is relatively thin and in early-stage development.
Needham has downgraded from Buy to Hold, with no price target assigned compared to $10 previously.
With the stopped IPF program, the update has created a significant challenge if the drug is considered for other conditions.
Pliant Therapeutics notes that bexotegrast showed some effectiveness in the IPF trial, leaving room for potential dose-ranging studies to improve its benefit-risk profile—possibly even in IPF again.
However, this would be a long and difficult process with uncertain prospects. Bexotegrast has also shown promise in primary sclerosing cholangitis (<a href="https://publications.ersnet.org/content/erj/64/suppl68/oa2861" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSC</a>), but its development in this condition carries risks.
Price Action: PLRX stock is up 0.36% at $1.38 at last check Monday.

TPG's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NYSE">TPG</a>) short percent of float has risen 14.78% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.58 million shares sold short, which is 4.66% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.8 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for TPG 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 TPG'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, TPG's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.21%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
