<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.

How Is The Market Feeling About Mattel?

Shaquille O'Neal became an NBA legend during a hall-of-fame career that included four world championships and a partnership with Kobe Bryant on the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he is also well-known for the value of the investment portfolio he started by purchasing a pre-IPO stake in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42904004/google-and-boeing-contribute-1m-each-to-trumps-inauguration-fund-youtube-to-livestream-event">Google</a>. Now Shaquille is a big proponent of another tech stock. Keep reading to discover why "Big Shaq" is a big backer of an emerging AI company.
You may not have heard of Zeta Global, but you may already be familiar with its work. Zeta Global is a marketing company founded in 2007. It uses a data-driven and heavily analytics-based approach to help companies target clients, grow client relationships and maximize the profitability of client interactions. As is the case with many data-driven businesses, Zeta Global recognizes AI's potential to enhance its operations.

</ul>
Zeta Global's insights and services are vital to several business and revenue growth aspects. These services are particularly useful to emerging brands, publishers and marketing agencies. All three endeavors require businesses to commit tremendous amounts of capital to elevate their visibility and retain customer relationships. Zeta Global's AI tools help these companies make better decisions about strategically allocating that capital to achieve the highest possible ROI.
Their approach seems to be working. According to a December press release on Zeta Global's website, usage of their marketing platform increased by 108% over the previous year for the critical holiday shopping season. CEO David Steinberg said, "The Zeta Marketing Platform continues to empower brands to engage high-intent shoppers where they want to be reached, delivering exceptional efficiency and more effective outcomes during the most critical shopping days of the year."

Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
So, where does Shaquille O'Neal come into the picture? Shaquille's fame as a basketball player, pitchman and investor makes him a popular choice for speaking engagements of all kinds, including last September's Zeta Global annual meeting. According to the Essential Sports website, which was one of many media outlets covering the event, Shaq was joined by fellow sports legend Simone Biles and philosopher Deepak Chopra.
Shaq's live session at the event was called "AI-Powered Slam Dunk: The Business of Shaq." During his live session, O'Neal talked to the audience about how he successfully transitioned from a superstar athlete to a big-time investor with an estimated $500 million portfolio. Zeta Global's CEO also joined Shaquille for this session, but the most amazing aspect was the extent to which O'Neal has warmed up to AI.

It's a little-known fact, but according to the Essential Sports website (which also covered the event), Shaquille O'Neal has four degrees, including his diploma from Louisiana State University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. He's proud of these accomplishments because they required hard work. His current educational pursuit, a master&#8217;s in sports psychology, has forced Shaquille to expand his vocabulary.
During a March 2024 podcast, Shaquille discussed the challenge of learning new words and expanding his vocabulary. When the host asked why he didn't use a thesaurus, O'Neal thought he was talking about ChatGPT and replied, "I don't want to cheat. I know where you're going; I don't want to use chat GPT." That speaks volumes about his work ethic, but he's on board with AI now (at least where Zeta Global is concerned).
Zeta Global is certainly happy to count Shaquille O'Neal as an ally and he might want to buy a few shares if he hasn't already. According to Benzinga's stock ticker,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZETA"> Zeta Global</a> shares are trading at $18.33 and the company's market cap is $4.13 billion. That's not in Google territory, but<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42697827/zeta-global-shares-rise-over-126-in-2024-beating-its-peers-should-you-buy-sell-or-hold-heres-more"> Zeta outperformed</a> the NYSE composite index and beat its rivals by 125% in 2024.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The U.S. SEC appears set for a significant shift in its approach to cryptocurrency regulation, potentially starting as early as next week, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42908193/exclusive-answering-key-questions-about-bitcoins-future-before-inauguration">President-elect Donald Trump takes office.</a>
What Happened: Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-new-sec-leadership-poised-kick-start-crypto-overhaul-sources-say-2025-01-15/">reported</a> that key Republican commissioners, Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, are planning to initiate a series of actions that could dramatically alter the regulatory landscape for digital assets.
The underlying reason for this shift is clear: a philosophical change in how the SEC views the industry, moving away from a perceived &#8220;crackdown&#8221; to what seems to be a potentially more accommodating stance.
Peirce and Uyeda, both known for their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40619809/crypto-mom-hester-peirce-expresses-concern-at-secs-regulatory-approach-on-digital-assets-i">pro-crypto views</a>, are reportedly considering steps to establish clearer guidelines on when a digital currency is classified as a security.
This is crucial because the classification determines which regulations apply, something that has been a major point of contention and confusion within the crypto industry. 
Furthermore, they are looking at revisiting ongoing enforcement cases, initiated under the current administration, which adds a layer of uncertainty and potential policy changes that could impact multiple companies. 
This signals a possible shift in how the SEC intends to engage with digital currency markets.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42842267/trumps-sec-pick-likely-to-bring-down-the-stress-levels-of-wall-street-with-easier-enforcement-ride">anticipated appointment</a> of Paul Atkins, a known crypto advocate, as SEC chair further reinforces the notion of a major regulatory shift.
While his confirmation by the Senate is pending, Atkins&#8217; expected arrival signals a departure from the more stringent regulatory approach of outgoing chair Gary Gensler, whose departure is set to coincide with the inauguration. 
The appointment of Atkins, combined with the current commissioners&#8217; planned actions, suggests a deliberate and coordinated effort to revise how the SEC oversees the cryptocurrency space.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42987165/bitcoin-is-an-excellent-buying-opportunity-at-if-it-breaks-below-90000-says-standard-chartered">Bitcoin Is An &#8216;Excellent&#8217; Buying Opportunity At If It Breaks Below $90,000 Says Standard Chartered</a>
Peirce and Uyeda, who previously served under Atkins at the SEC, are aligned with his views. 
They have long criticized Gensler's enforcement-heavy strategy and have discussed alternative, more crypto-friendly policies. 
With Gensler&#8217;s imminent departure, they&#8217;re expected to form a majority on the commission, allowing them to move forward with their agenda as they see fit in the interim. 
This highlights the strategic importance of the timing and the commissioners&#8217; willingness to take the reins as soon as possible.
What&#8217;s Next: It is important to note that the outgoing administration&#8217;s SEC, under Gensler, initiated over 80 enforcement actions, citing concerns about fraud and market manipulation.
Many of these lawsuits revolve around the argument that certain crypto tokens operate as unregistered securities, therefore coming under SEC&#8217;s jurisdiction. 
The potential shift in how the SEC classifies and oversees these assets could have a major ripple effect throughout the industry. 
This matters because the companies that have been targeted by the SEC may find themselves in different legal standing as this new approach is implemented.

On Holding AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>) management spoke at the 27th ICR Conference, held from Jan. 13 to Jan. 15 in Orlando, Florida.
The company is "a momentum story," they said, citing a healthy performance during the holiday season, according to Needham.
The On Holding Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee56ee7bf6000154d12e/tom-nikic">Analyst Tom Nikic</a> maintained a Buy rating for On Holding, with a price target of $64.
The Thesis: With limited awareness of the company outside Wall Street, there is still a "long runway" for U.S. consumers to learn of "this highly-innovative brand," Nikic said. On Holding is being helped by "high-traffic, high-visibility wholesale doors" as well as by "high-visibility marketing.&#8221;
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Despite being a European brand, the continent contributes only 25% of On Holding's sales, the analyst stated. The Zürich-based company has "lots of opportunity" in the continent, especially in Central Europe (Germany, Switzerland, and Austria) where it could "unlock greater brand heat, as the brand&#8217;s wholesale presence in these markets now more closely aligns with the brand&#8217;s premium positioning," he added.
Management continues to focus on innovation, rolling out new products "that are always rooted in technical performance, which justifies the brand&#8217;s premium price points," Nikic wrote. If the company's innovative &#8220;Lightspray&#8221; technology proves to be successful, "it would allow for local manufacturing of On sneakers, which would be a big supply chain advantage, in our view," he further said.
Price Action: Shares of On Holding had risen by 1.58% to $55.36 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
