(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCRX#NASDAQ">TCRX</a>) shares are trading higher in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42681377/tscan-therapeutics-announces-30-million-registered-direct-offering-at-a-37-premium" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket session on Thursday.</a>
The firm announced a significant financing deal, entering into a securities purchase agreement with Lynx1 Capital Management LP and an investment fund advised by Lynx1.
Under the agreement, TScan will sell approximately $30 million in pre-funded warrants, which are exercisable for up to 7.50 million shares of its voting common stock.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, TCRX stock has lost over 51% in the past year.&nbsp;
Each warrant will be priced at $4.00, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share.
This deal represents a 37% premium over TScan&#8217;s last closing price and a 34% premium compared to its 10-day volume-weighted average closing price. The financing is expected to close by December 27, 2024, pending customary closing conditions.

Jason A. Amello, CFO of TScan, added that the additional $30 million in gross proceeds will extend the company&#8217;s cash runway, now expected to fund operations into the first quarter of 2027, up from the previous expectation of the fourth quarter of 2026.
This funding comes after TScan filed a registration statement with the SEC in November 2022, which was declared effective in May 2023.

Janover Plans To Effect 1-For-8 Reverse Stock Split Of Its Common Stock

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42657620/amd-and-micron-top-analyst-picks-for-ai-and-next-gen-tech-growth">shares</a> have underperformed Nasdaq 100 despite gaining AI market share this year. Should you buy or sell the stock as its technical analysis indicates a downtrend? Here&#8217;s what analysts are saying about the stock. 
What Happened: The technical analysis of daily moving averages indicates a bearish trend.
The stock ended at $126.29 apiece on Tuesday. This was above its eight-day simple moving average of $123.48. However, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its current stock price was lower than the 20-day moving average of $130.77, 50-day moving average of $140.38 and its 200-day moving average of $154.50.
This implies that the stock is in a downtrend. On the other hand, the relative strength index of 40.31 suggests the stock&#8217;s movement is neutral and it is not yet in an overbought or an oversold zone.

Why It Matters: AMD&#8217;s 2024 was mixed. New GPUs drove strong data center growth, gaining share against Nvidia&#8217;s H100 due to availability and pricing advantages. However, gaming and embedded segments decelerated, impacting overall growth.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">Benzinga</a>, AMD has a consensus &#8216;buy&#8217; with a price target of $195.07 based on the ratings of 30 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">tracked </a>by Benzinga is $265 issued by Melius Research with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating on March 8. According to the analysts at Melius, AMD is mirroring Nvidia Corporation&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) past success. This is despite a recent price target increase, expected by market observers. While AMD&#8217;s growth is significant, it&#8217;s not seen as threatening Nvidia&#8217;s dominance. Nvidia&#8217;s broader ecosystem and market expansion benefit AMD by creating a larger market for high-performance AI chips.
AMD is one of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42657620/amd-and-micron-top-analyst-picks-for-ai-and-next-gen-tech-growth">Rosenblatt</a>'s top picks for the first half of 2025 on momentum in CPU and GPU share gains into 2025 and a broader non-AI recovery exiting 2025. The difference entering 2025 is that the Street acknowledges this dynamic, which has legs for double-digit market share in GPU compute and AI inference at the edge, being a secular opportunity on Xilinx incumbency and chiplet prowess.
The lowest target price was a downgrade from &#8216;buy&#8217; to &#8216;neutral&#8217; from BofA Securities. It was adjusted to $155 from $180 per share on Dec. 9. It predicts AMD will hold a small 4% of the $200 billion AI accelerator market in 2025, significantly trailing Nvidia&#8217;s dominant 80%+ share. This, coupled with potential PC processor market weakness in the first half of 2025, raises concerns for AMD&#8217;s future performance.
The average price target of $164.33 between Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, and Mizuho implies a 30.81% upside for Nvidia.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="943" height="361" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR-.png" alt="" class="wp-image-707495" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR-.png 943w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR--300x115.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR--768x294.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px" /></a></figure>
Price Action: Shares of AMD were down 0.24% at $125.99 per share in premarket on Thursday. The stock was down 8.87% this year underperforming the Nasdaq 100, which rose by 31.76% this year.

Welltower's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WELL#NYSE">WELL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.09 million shares sold short, which is 2.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.9 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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 Welltower has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Welltower'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>, Welltower's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.65%, which means the company has less 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>

(GKOS) - Analyzing Glaukos's Short Interest

According to a report issued by Realtor.com, counties switching their presidential votes from Biden to Trump in 2024 might see accelerated home price growth over the next four years.
The report, drawn from a study by the Journal of Real Estate Research, examined home prices and presidential election results across six elections from 2000 to 2020. Data showed that flipping to successful nonincumbent candidates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41747603/30-less-than-blue-swing-state-home-prices-align-with-red-states-says-realtor-com">outperformed other markets in home value appreciation</a>.
Realtor identified 84 counties nationwide that shifted from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024, ranging from Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade County to Montana&#8217;s Blaine County along the Canadian border.

<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
<li>During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes-y2"> high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</a></li>
</ul>
&#8220;These counties you identified could potentially experience superior housing performance following the election,&#8221; lead author Eren Cifci, assistant professor of finance at Austin Peay State University, told Realtor.com.
The pattern held regardless of political party. Areas supporting whichever nonincumbent candidate won the White House showed stronger price performance in subsequent years.
Federal spending often follows electoral shifts. &#8220;The rival party may recognize the critical role these counties played in securing their victory. Consequently, they might invest in these areas and work to improve living conditions to maintain voter support in future elections,&#8221; Cifci said.
Local engagement also drives growth. Communities voting for change often see increased civic participation, volunteerism and economic activity, which lift property values.

The research found no notable price impacts in counties flipping to incumbent winners or losing candidates. Cifci emphasized the findings indicate potential trends rather than guarantees.
Current market conditions vary widely among the 84 counties. Georgia&#8217;s Baldwin County saw November median list prices rise 53% year-over-year to $356,250, while Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade County dropped 9.2% to $634,000.
The study primarily focused on how home prices, rather than the reverse, influence elections. Counties with strong price appreciation supported incumbents, while underperforming markets favored challengers.
&#8220;People feel more financially wealthy if they have a lot of housing equity,&#8221; said co-author Alan Tidwell, associate professor at the University of Alabama. &#8220;How financially wealthy they feel really impacts their sense of financial and economic well-being.&#8221;

California&#8217;s Inyo County rose 4.9% to $562,450, while Montana&#8217;s Blaine County fell 43.79% to $120,000. Texas markets showed similar disparity – Culberson County jumped 75.71% to $264,450 as Hidalgo County declined 3.55% to $270,000.
The study tracked 84 counties across 27 states. Florida and Texas led with the most flipped counties at six and 10 respectively. California followed with seven counties switching their presidential preference.
Historical data suggests infrastructure spending increases often follow changes in voting patterns. Past election cycles saw upticks in road improvements, federal construction projects and housing development in areas that helped secure presidential victories.
Market analysts note the findings align with broader economic patterns linking political shifts to regional development. However, local market conditions, employment rates and population growth remain primary drivers of home values.

84 Counties That Flipped To Trump Could See Home Prices Rise Faster

PulteGroup's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.82% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.59 million shares sold short, which is 2.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.5 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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>PulteGroup Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735218012_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PulteGroup has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PulteGroup'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>, PulteGroup's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.07%, which means the company has less 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>

Why Zoomcar Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 142%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amid a booming interest in artificial intelligence, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has witnessed an unprecedented surge in retail investor dollars in 2024. This influx has positioned Nvidia as the most-purchased stock by individual investors, overtaking other popular equities.
What Happened: Retail traders have injected nearly $30 billion into Nvidia this year, as of Dec. 17. This amount is almost twice the net inflows compared to the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), a broad U.S. market benchmark, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/25/nvidia-sees-remarkable-influx-of-retail-investor-dollars-as-traders-flock-to-ai-darling.html">reported</a> on Thursday
The allure of Nvidia for retail investors stems from its robust performance and leadership in artificial intelligence. The stock has surged over 180% in 2024, elevating it into the elite group of companies with market caps exceeding $3 trillion.

Vanda Research&#8217;s Marco Iachini highlighted that Nvidia&#8217;s stock has outperformed Tesla Inc. , the previous retail favorite, due to its remarkable price gains. Despite some recent volatility, Nvidia remains a crucial holding for many individual investors, with its weight in the average portfolio increasing significantly this year.
Why It Matters: The surge in retail investment in Nvidia comes ahead of the company&#8217;s upcoming CES 2025 keynote is anticipated to be a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42677149/nvidia-ces-2025-keynote-how-to-watch-jensen-huang-unveil-the-rtx-5000-series-gpus"> major tech event.</a> The keynote, led by CEO Jensen Huang, is expected to unveil the RTX 5000 Series GPUs, further solidifying Nvidia&#8217;s position as a leader in the AI and tech space. This event is generating significant excitement in the tech community.
at a time when the company is making significant strides in the tech industry. Recently, Nvidia shares saw a boost following the Biden administration&#8217;s announcement of a trade investigation into China&#8217;s semiconductor industry. The investigation<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42660079/nvidia-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on">, focusing on China&#8217;s production</a> and trade practices for &#8220;legacy&#8221; semiconductors, could lead to increased U.S. tariffs, potentially benefiting U.S. semiconductor producers.
