<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.

Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Buy rating on Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) with a price target of $50.
On November 20, 2024, Comcast announced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42081224/comcast-plans-major-cable-networks-spinoff-msnbc-and-cnbc-to-form-new-public-company-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to spin off</a> select cable networks and digital assets into a new publicly traded entity called SpinCo.
The proposed spin-off aims to streamline Comcast&#8217;s operations and enhance growth by separating its cable networks and complementary digital assets from its broader media and streaming divisions.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42116366/taiwan-semiconductor-plans-new-factories-annually-boosting-domestic-chip-production" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taiwan Semiconductor Plans New Factories To Boost Domestic Chip Production</a>
SpinCo assets generated approximately $7 billion in trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue ending September 30, 2024, with an estimated EBITDA between $2 billion and $3 billion, the analyst said.
About 75% of SpinCo&#8217;s portfolio will focus on news and sports, while the remaining 25% covers general entertainment.
Comcast expects SpinCo to maintain a traditional cable network EBITDA margin of around 30%, driven by reduced Peacock-related losses and sports licensing costs.
Post-spin, Comcast&#8217;s remaining media assets (RemainCo) will include NBC broadcast, Peacock, regional sports networks, and Sky, generating an estimated $40 billion in annual revenue.
Peacock will likely remain largely unaffected by the spin, as only 2% of its content originates from SpinCo, while 98% will continue to come from RemainCo.
The spin-off positions SpinCo to pursue growth through organic initiatives and mergers or acquisitions, with a dedicated management team and tailored operational focus.
Mark Lazarus, the current chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, will serve as SpinCo&#8217;s CEO, and Anand Kini, NBCUniversal&#8217;s CFO, will become SpinCo&#8217;s CFO and COO. Comcast expects the transaction to close within a year, pending regulatory approvals.
Ng highlighted the spin-off as a strategic move to refine Comcast&#8217;s focus on core growth drivers, including residential broadband, wireless services, and streaming.
SpinCo&#8217;s creation will likely improve CNBC and MSNBC monetization through digital subscription models and potential affiliate fee adjustments.
Ng views the separation as accretive to revenue growth while maintaining Comcast&#8217;s leverage neutrality.
Risks to the strategy include intensified cord-cutting, rising programming costs, and competitive pressures from streaming platforms.
Despite these challenges, Ng expects the spin-off to unlock shareholder value and position both SpinCo and RemainCo for sustainable growth.
Ng projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $123.42 billion and EPS of $4.24. The analyst estimates fiscal 2025 revenue of $123.43 billion and EPS of $4.43.
Price Action: CMCSA stock is up 1.59% at $43.68 at the last check on Thursday.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos,&nbsp;two of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">world&#8217;s richest people,</a>&nbsp;entered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42105450/elon-musk-says-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-urged-tesla-spacex-investors-to-dump-stakes-predicting-trumps-loss">social media sparring</a> match on Thursday.
What Happened: The controversy began when Musk accused Bezos of urging &#8220;everyone&#8221; to sell shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Musk supported Donald Trump during the presidential stakes, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump&#8217;s election efforts.
&#8220;Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock &#x1f92d;,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1859483544612913376">posted</a> on his social media platform, X. The post garnered over 29 million views.
Bezos responded nearly nine hours later.
&#8220;Nope. 100% not true,&#8221; the Amazon founder succinctly <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1859615862984167549">replied</a>. 
It is unclear whether the billionaire entrepreneur plans to pursue legal action against Musk.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has far outperformed the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/41768811/donald-trump-wins-47th-presidency-us-futures-up-europe-up-asia-mixed-crude-falls-and-dollar-strength">Trump&#8217;s election win</a> on Nov. 5. Tesla shares are trading up 35%, breaking the $1 trillion mark, while the benchmark has gained 2.97%.
Musk is the largest shareholder of Tesla. While Musk did not start the company, he has served as CEO since 2008.
Musk and Bezos&#8217; rivalry stretches decades. Musk is the principal shareholder of SpaceX while Bezos owns Blue Origin, two space exploration companies.

Jeff Bezos Denies Elon Musk's Allegation That He Told People To Sell Tesla Stock: '100% Not True'

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler has announced his resignation, effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
Gensler&#8217;s tenure has been marked by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41993524/gary-gensler-hints-at-ending-his-stint-as-sec-chair-defends-crypto-regulation-agenda">stringent regulatory approach</a> toward the cryptocurrencies, drawing criticism from the industry.
What Happened: "I thank President Biden for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility. The SEC has met our mission and enforced the law without fear or favor,&#8221; Gensler <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-182">said</a> in a press release on Thursday.
Appointed on Apr. 17 2021, Gensler brought extensive experience from his previous role as chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
 His leadership at the SEC was characterized by a firm stance on digital assets, emphasizing investor protection and market integrity.
Gensler frequently likened the cryptocurrency market to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36358607/crypto-wild-west-hurts-investors-sec-chair-says-bankruptcy-court-queues-are-crowded">&#8220;Wild West,&#8221; advocating for comprehensive oversight</a>.

Justin Sun Did Just That — And Now He&#8217;ll Eat It &#8216;As Part Of This Unique Artistic Experience&#8217;</a>
He asserted that many digital assets functioned as securities and should be regulated accordingly. 
Under his direction, the SEC initiated numerous enforcement actions against major crypto entities, including lawsuits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40568347/after-binance-and-coinbase-gary-gensler-led-sec-set-to-lock-horns-with-crypto-exchange-kra">against Coinbase</a> and Binance for allegedly operating unregistered securities exchanges.
This rigorous approach faced opposition from industry stakeholders and some lawmakers, who argued that it stifled innovation and lacked clear regulatory guidelines. 
In November, the American Securities Association <a href="https://www.americansecurities.org/post/asa-calls-on-sec-chair-gensler-to-immediately-step-down">called</a> for Gensler&#8217;s immediate resignation, citing concerns over his regulatory methods.
President-elect Trump has been vocal about his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41680397/who-will-replace-gary-gensler-the-top-candidates-for-sec-chair-after-the-election">intention to replace Gensler</a>, criticizing his handling of cryptocurrency regulation.
Earlier in July, Trump said, &#8220;I will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40018935/trumps-bitcoin-conference-pledge-can-he-really-fire-sec-chair-gensler">fire Gary Gensler on day one</a>,&#8221; signaling a potential shift in the SEC&#8217;s approach to digital assets under the incoming administration.
