<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Flex 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 Flex'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>, Flex's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.65%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
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>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates 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.

In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.

EVP Of Flex Sold $356K In Stock

In the current market session, Flex Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NASDAQ">FLEX</a>) stock price is at $31.97, after a 0.53% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 9.00%, and in the past year, by 63.69%. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1718224208_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Flex 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. 
Flex has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 38.44 of the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components 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/2024/1718224209_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.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Despite being unwanted and unloved, spinoff stocks are often <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/05/divide-and-conquer-3-stock-spinoffs-set-to-trounce-the-market/">excellent stocks to buy</a> and hold. Since investors bought shares in the parent company, they are often not interested in the business. This is especially true when they receive shares of the spinoff. They sell the stock, depressing shares.



Other times the parent company will weigh down a spinoff with debt. It makes its balance sheet look better while the newly independent company struggles to pay off its loans.&nbsp;



Before BorgWarner (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bwa-stock-quote/">BWA</a>) spun off its fuel systems and aftermarket business into Phinia (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/phin-stock-quote/">PHIN</a>), it had almost $4.2 billion in long-term debt. After the spinoff, it had about $1 billion less. Phinia, on the other hand, had to take out a <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/research/corporate-finance/fitch-affirms-borgwarner-idr-at-bbb-outlook-stable-22-08-2023">new $800 million loan</a>. This was done to make a $450 million payment to BorgWarner.



Phinia isn&rsquo;t doing too bad though with shares up 49% over the past year. BorgWarner, on the other hand, is down more than 13%.



The three companies below were spun off in the past year. They are performing much like Phinia, doing well on their own. Let&rsquo;s do a spinoff stock analysis to see if they can keep the momentum going. By the time we are done, you&rsquo;ll have. a portfolio of a ton of great spinoff stocks. 



<h2>Spinoff Stocks to Buy: GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/gehc1600-300x169.png" alt="GE Healthcare (GEHC) sign. GE Healthcare is an American company founded in 2014 and spun off from GE in 2023."><div>Source: testing / Shutterstock.com</div></div>The General Electric company you grew up with and knew is no more. The industrial conglomerate spun off its healthcare equipment operations into GE HealthCare Technologies (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gehc-stock-quote/">GEHC</a>) and then completed the company&rsquo;s dismantling this year by separating into two additional companies: GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ge-stock-quote/">GE</a>), which <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/05/springs-3-hottest-sp-500-stocks-time-to-load-up-or-take-profits/">kept the GE ticker symbol</a>, and GE Vernova (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gev-stock-quote/">GEV</a>), which assumed the renewable energy utility operations.



Since its separation more than a year ago, GE HealthCare Technologies is up 49% but it is only 4% higher so far in 2024. That is because it suffered a sharp drop after earnings last month, reporting a 1% decline in revenue when Wall Street was expecting growth.&nbsp;



Yet investors should still expect good things to come. While there remains excellent prospects for selling more specialized healthcare equipment as a standalone company, a lot of the expectations due to an aging population, greater incidence of chronic disease and the proliferation of minimally-invasive procedures. As GE HealthCare Technologies integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning into its products and services, the industry leader should see an expansion into more healthcare settings.



<h2>NCR Atleos (NATL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ncr-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The front view of an NCR Corporation (NCR) office in Prague."><div>Source: BalkansCat / Shutterstock.com</div></div>NCR Atleos (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/natl-stock-quote/">NATL</a>) is the owner of the largest network of surcharge-free independent ATMs in the U.S. It has approximately <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1974138/000197413824000022/ncr-20231231.htm">83,000 self-service banking terminal locations</a>. It was spun off last October from NCR, which rebranded itself as NCR Voyix (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vyx-stock-quote/">VYX</a>) and kept control of the digital commerce business.



Although NCR Atleos is up 35% from its spinoff, it faces an increasingly challenging future. Euromonitor International estimates that after peaking at 471,000 locations in 2019, the number of ATMs has fallen to about 450,000. As mobile and digital payments grow, the ATM industry is in a secular decline.&nbsp;



Yet there is also hope for growth. AI, of course, could help preserve the status quo while interactive video teller ATMs (IVTs) are growing. Providing banking customers with enhanced services outside of normal banking hours through IVTs could lead to an increase in ATM locations and usage.



NCR Atleos also has significant exposure to international markets where cash usage is higher. The company generates 55% of its revenue from foreign markets where it has ATM networks in 11 countries and service ATMs in 60 countries. NCR plans to keep investing in growing those networks.



<h2>Nextracker (NXT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/solar1600-300x169.jpg" alt="An orange slanted roof covered in solar panels. solar stocks"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>A critical component of the solar industry is being able to track the sun across the sky to get maximum efficiency out of a panel. Solar trackers generate <a href="https://www.blackridgeresearch.com/blog/top-solar-pv-photovoltaic-panel-single-dual-axis-tracker-system-manufacturers-makers-companies-firms-suppliers">25% to 35% more energy</a> than projects that do not track the sun. That&rsquo;s what Nextracker (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nxt-stock-quote/">NXT</a>) provides at utility-scale. It is the world&rsquo;s largest manufacturer of intelligent tracking systems based on gigawatts (GW) shipped in the U.S. and globally.



Nextracker was spun off from Flex (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/flex-stock-quote/">FLEX</a>) in January 2023 though the electronics manufacturing company retained a 51% stake in the business. It finally shed the rest of its stake last November.&nbsp;



The sun tracker stock is up 26% since gaining its independence. Nextracker issued strong results and guidance that helped push its stock up. Shares jumped 20% after its recent earnings report. Management did offer some caution about pricing pressures but with global expansion opportunities ahead and the possibility for M&amp;A now that it is independent, could see Nextracker stock grow in the future.
