Insights Ahead: Usana Health Sciences's Quarterly Earnings

Xencor (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xncr#NASDAQ">XNCR</a>) shares rallied 10.5% in the last trading session to close at $21.13. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 19.8% gain over the past four weeks.
This jump in share price came after the company announced that it was floating a secondary issue of common stock, along with pre-funded warrants, to raise nearly $175 million in gross proceeds. Management intends to issue more than 6.6 million shares at $18 apiece, along with pre-funded warrants to buy an additional 3 million shares for $17.99 a warrant.
Xencor will likely use these funds to support its pipeline development. Last week, the company unveiled details on four new programs targeting autoimmune diseases.
This biotech developing antibodies for severe autoimmune/allergic diseases and cancer is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -152.5%. Revenues are expected to be $7.74 million, down 86.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Xencor, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn&#39;t usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on XNCR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Xencor belongs to the Zacks Medical - Drugs industry. Another stock from the same industry, USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/usna#NYSE">USNA</a>), closed the last trading session 0.2% lower at $37.28. Over the past month, USNA has returned -3%.
For USANA Health, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.49. This represents a change of -17% from what the company reported a year ago. USANA Health currently has a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell).

<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 Usana Health Sciences'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>, Usana Health Sciences's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.75%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into Usana Health Sciences's Recent Short Interest

Taking a multivitamin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/23/12/36205088/inside-the-multibillion-dollar-supplement-industry-trends-and-insights">once a day</a> has long been considered a path to better health, but a new study refutes that widely held belief.
A study published in JAMA Network Open on Wednesday revealed that after tracking nearly 400,000 healthy adults for over 20 years, researchers found no link between regular multivitamin use and a lower risk of death, <a href="https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/healthy-adults-taking-multivitamins-daily-not-associated-lower-risk-death#:~:text=The%20analysis%20showed%20that%20people,heart%20disease%2C%20or%20cerebrovascular%20diseases">according </a>to the National Institutes of Health.
The study was led by researchers at the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute.

&#8220;The analysis showed that people who took daily multivitamins did not have a lower risk of death from any cause than people who took no multivitamins,&#8221; Erikka Loftfield, Ph.D., M.P.H., a researcher with the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics at the National Cancer Institute, wrote in the study.
&#8220;There were also no differences in mortality from cancer, heart disease, or cerebrovascular diseases. The results were adjusted for factors such as race and ethnicity, education, and diet quality.&#8221;
Loftfield also emphasized the importance of assessing the risk of death associated with multivitamin use in different populations, such as those with documented nutritional deficiencies. She highlighted the need to explore the potential impact of regular multivitamin use on aging-related health conditions.
Price Action: Despite the study&#8217;s findings on multivitamin use, related health and wellness companies saw varied market reactions. By Thursday&#8217;s afternoon trading, BellRing Brands, Inc.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions contribute to decision-making but should be supplemented by a comprehensive investment analysis.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
