<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 Southern?

Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) has warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321506/trumps-tariff-policies-a-self-inflicted-wound-says-obama-era-treasury-secretary-larry-summers-economists-weigh-in-as-sp-enters-correction-zone">President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs</a> could erode profits as the retail giant faces a combination of economic headwinds and consumer backlash over its recent retreat from diversity initiatives.
The retailer, with nearly 2,000 stores nationwide, <a href="https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2025/03/target-corporation-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-earnings">expects &#8220;meaningful year-over-year profit pressure&#8221; in the first quarter that began Feb. 2, citing &#8220;tariff uncertainty&#8221;</a> among other factors.
While CEOs publicly maintain measured responses to Trump&#8217;s trade policies, private concerns are mounting. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld from Yale School of Management <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/03/14/nx-s1-5327534/trump-ceos-tariffs-economy-recession">told NPR</a> that business leaders are &#8220;very discouraged&#8221; about the administration&#8217;s approach, with about 80% of CEOs in a recent gathering admitting they&#8217;ve been &#8220;apologizing to international partners for Trump&#8217;s capriciousness.&#8221;

</ul>
Target appears especially vulnerable to tariff impacts, with over 75% of its sales coming from general merchandise—a lot of it sourced from imports, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b9b7808f-15fb-4e42-8b89-75668b640dbe">the Financial Times reported</a>. The company has been working to reduce exposure, with Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez <a href="https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2025/03/04/target-tgt-q4-2024-earnings-call-transcript/">saying during an earnings call</a> that Chinese-made goods now represent about 30% of Target&#8217;s merchandise, down from 60% in 2017.
The retailer&#8217;s shares have declined 36% over the past year while the S&amp;P 500 gained more than 9%, despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44317410/sp-500-enters-technical-correction-as-trade-war-fears-rattle-markets">sliding into correction territory this week</a>. 
Beyond tariffs, Target faces weakening consumer sentiment. &#8220;Our topline performance for the month was soft, as uncharacteristically cold weather across the U.S. affected apparel sales, and declining consumer confidence impacted our discretionary assortment overall,&#8221; Jim Lee, Target&#8217;s chief financial officer, <a href="https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2025/03/target-corporation-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-earnings">said in the company's latest earnings release.</a>

The company now forecasts &#8220;around flat&#8221; comparable sales growth for 2025, potentially marking a third consecutive year of stagnant or declining sales.
The uncertainty has prompted engagement between corporate leaders and the White House, with Trump meeting the Business Roundtable CEO group this week in a gathering that set attendance records, NPR reported.
Despite market volatility, business leaders remain publicly diplomatic. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) CEO David Solomon <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/goldman-sachs-ceo-reveals-business-communitys-true-thoughts-trump-tariffs">told Fox Business</a> on Wednesday that he thinks "the business community understands what the president is trying to do with… tariffs.&#8221; though he acknowledged companies are &#8220;always going to want lower tariffs everywhere." 
For now, many CEOs appear to be weighing tariff concerns against potential benefits from Trump&#8217;s promised tax cuts and deregulation.

Scholar Rock Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRRK#NASDAQ">SRRK</a>) said on Sunday the company will present new efficacy and safety data from the Phase 3 pivotal SAPPHIRE trial at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clinical &amp; Scientific Conference</a>.
The Phase 3 SAPPHIRE trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of apitegromab, an investigational muscle-targeted therapy being developed to provide clinically meaningful improvement in motor function for people living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44348561/scholar-rock-presents-new-phase-3-sapphire-data-at-the-2025-muscular-dystrophy-association-clinica" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">receiving SMN-targeted treatments</a>.

The topline data released in October 2024 showed the study achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in motor function for apitegromab versus placebo in SMA patients on chronic dosing of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41208885/scholar-rocks-muscle-wasting-drug-excels-in-pivotal-trial-plans-fda-submission-next-year" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">standard-of-care therapies</a>.
New analysis performed in the pooled population (ages 2-21) showed clinically meaningful and consistent improvement in HFMSE across pre-specified subgroups (type of SMN-targeted therapy, age at SMN-targeted therapy initiation) and geographic region.
For secondary endpoints measured on patients ages 2-12 receiving apitegromab (10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg) or placebo, the following improvements were observed:
<ul>
<li>A greater proportion of patients treated with apitegromab had improvements of ≥3 points in their HFMSE scores compared to placebo with odds ratio of 3.0 (nominal&nbsp;p-value&nbsp;= 0.0256).</li>
<li>Additionally, 30.4% of patients receiving apitegromab had ≥ 3-point improvement in HFMSE versus 12.5% of patients on placebo (nominal p-value= 0.0156).</li>
<li>Consistent improvement in motor function with a greater proportion of participants on apitegromab achieving HFMSE improvements versus placebo across all five-point thresholds at 52 weeks.</li>
</ul>
Treatment with apitegromab was well-tolerated across all age groups, consistent with the established safety profile and with no clinically relevant differences by dose.

Tradeweb Markets Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TW#NASDAQ">TW</a>) industry leading organic growth is likely to continue, despite tough comps, according to Goldman Sachs.
The Tradeweb Markets Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586cf16a351b9b0001a3055a/alexander-blostein">Analyst Alexander Blostein</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $145 to $152.
The Tradeweb Markets Thesis: The company is likely to generate mid-teen revenue growth through 2027, Blostein said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Rates is likely to account for 60% of the company's revenue growth over the next several years, he added.

Although Credit, which is Tradeweb Markets' second-largest business, is likely to face heightened competition over time, the flagship Portfolio Trading offering "is proving out to be more resilient than perceived," which could support further share gains, he further stated.

Real estate has always been a favored investment avenue, providing stability and long-term growth. However, when it comes to investing in real estate, investors face a crucial decision: should they invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) or directly purchase physical properties? Both options have their pros and cons, and choosing the right approach depends on one's financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment strategy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Consider REITs?</h2>
REITs offer investors exposure to real estate without the complexities of owning and managing physical properties. Here are three key advantages:
Lower Entry Barrier – Unlike purchasing a property that requires a significant upfront investment, REITs allow investors to enter the real estate market with relatively small amounts of capital. With share prices often below $100, investors can diversify across multiple real estate sectors without large capital commitments.
High Liquidity – Selling a physical property can take months, whereas REITs trade on stock exchanges, allowing investors to buy and sell shares almost instantly. This liquidity makes REITs more flexible compared to direct real estate investments.
Tax Efficiency – Buying and managing rental properties can be tax-heavy, with property taxes, capital gains taxes, and maintenance costs. REITs, on the other hand, are structured as securities, meaning investors are taxed on dividends rather than facing the full tax burden associated with property ownership.
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Buy Physical Properties?</h2>
For those looking for tangible assets and direct control, buying physical properties remains a strong option. Here's why some investors prefer it:
<ol>
<li>Stable Income and Appreciation – Rental properties generate steady income through rent payments while appreciating over time, providing a dual benefit.</li>
<li>Leverage Opportunities – Investors can use mortgages to acquire real estate with less upfront capital, potentially increasing returns if property values rise.</li>
<li>Tax Benefits – Property owners can take advantage of tax deductions, including mortgage interest, depreciation, and maintenance expenses, which can reduce taxable income.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some REITs to Consider</h2>
For those interested in REITs, selecting the right fund is essential. Below are some top-performing REIT ETFs that provide diverse real estate exposure:
<ul>
<li>iShares Core U.S. REIT ETF (<a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239544/ishares-core-us-real-estate-etf">USRT</a>) – Tracks the U.S. real estate market across retail, healthcare, industrial, and residential properties. Offers a diversified portfolio with an expense ratio of just 0.08%.</li>
<li>JPMorgan BetaBuilders (<a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/products/jpmorgan-betabuilders-msci-us-reit-etf-etf-shares-46641q738">BBRE</a>) – Provides exposure to large, mid, and small-cap U.S. REITs, with a slightly higher SEC yield at 3.78%.</li>
<li>SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF (<a href="https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/spdr-dow-jones-reit-etf-rwr">RWR</a>) – Concentrated in retail and residential REITs, with a moderate expense ratio of 0.25% and strong yield.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, what do we end up with?</h2>
Both REITs and physical real estate have their place in a well-diversified portfolio. REITs offer accessibility, liquidity, and tax efficiency, that makes them attractive for passive investors. On the other hand, direct property investments provide control, leverage, and long-term appreciation potential. The best choice depends on an investor's goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.

Brokerage Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) is launching more event contracts after its successful launch of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/11/41719799/robinhood-passes-100-million-2024-election-contracts-do-users-favor-trump-or-harris-on-sto"> 2024 election contracts for users.</a>
What Happened: On Monday, Robinhood announced it is launching event contracts for every match-up and the championship for the NCAA Men's College Basketball and NCAA Women's College Basketball Tournaments.
The news follows Robinhood's previously announced partnership with prediction market Kalshi, which is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Robinhood previously planned to launch Super Bowl event contracts before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/25/02/43482999/robinhood-ends-super-bowl-lix-bets-plan-after-cftc-complaint">pulling out after concerns</a> from the CFTC.
The new contracts will be <a href="https://go.robinhood.com/collegebasketball">available </a>to U.S. Robinhood users during the trading hours of 8 a.m. ET to 3 a.m. ET.
"Now you can trade on the outcome of every match-up in the men's and women's college basketball tournaments, including the final championships," Robinhood said.
The contracts have costs in cents and will cash out at $1 if the team wins or $0 if they lose. Users can also cash out of their positions at any time before the match-up is over.
"The Robinhood engineering team was working in lockstep with us to ensure a smooth launch at market open. We did it with elections and now we will do it for sports, together we will change the world of finance and trading. Welcome to the show, Robinhood," Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour tweeted.

Why It's Important: The launch of the March Madness events contracts continues Robinhood's push into regulated sports betting with Kalshi.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43683255/robinhood-ceo-vlad-tenev-says-prediction-markets-are-the-future-amid-super-bowl-lix-suspension-and-missing-regulatory-clarity">highlighted the future potential </a>of events contracts after the success of hundreds of millions of 2024 election contracts traded.
"Prediction markets are the future, not just as an active trading asset, but also news and information," Tenev said.
Robinhood will collect a commission of $0.01 per contract. While this seems minimal, it could add up quickly if hundreds of millions of contracts are traded during the March Madness tournaments.
For sportsbooks like DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) and Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>), which own FanDuel, Robinhood's new event contracts could reduce their market share during the tournament.
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood stock is up 5.5% to $41.42 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $13.98 to $66.08. Robinhood stock is up 4.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up 125.9% over the last year.
