Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>), one of the largest tobacco companies in the world, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past few years. As cigarette smoking continues its decades-long decline, PMI has aggressively expanded into smokeless alternatives, with Zyn &#8211; its flagship nicotine pouch brand &#8211; emerging as a major driver of growth.
Zyn's rapid adoption in the U.S. market has played a key role in PMI's resurgence. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43054519/zyn-nicotine-pouches-receive-fda-marketing-approval">authorized</a> 20 Zyn products for sale, <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-20-zyn-nicotine-pouch-products-after-extensive-scientific-review">determining</a> that these pouches contain "substantially lower amounts of harmful constituents than cigarettes and most smokeless tobacco products." This regulatory green light reinforced Zyn's positioning as a lower-risk alternative to traditional tobacco products.
PMI's $16 billion acquisition of Swedish Match, the original manufacturer of Zyn, in 2022 has proven to be a strategic coup. The company reported shipping 238 million cans of Zyn in the U.S. that year, with projections indicating that this number will more than double in 2024. According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/29/-how-zyn-helped-philip-morris-international-make-a-comeback-.html?&amp;qsearchterm=zyn">CNBC</a>, PMI has committed over $832 million to expand Zyn's production capacity, including new manufacturing plants in Aurora, Colorado and Owensboro, Kentucky.
This shift aligns with PMI's <a href="https://www.pmi.com/our-progress/pmi-announces-ambition-to-become-a-more-than-two-thirds-majority-smoke-free-company-by-2030">broader corporate strategy</a>: by 2030, the company aims for two-thirds of its revenue to come from smoke-free products, with an eventual goal of moving entirely away from cigarettes. As Goldman Sachs senior analyst Bonnie Herzog told CNBC, "The beauty of this transformation is that they're actually generating faster top-line and faster profitability given the pivot to these businesses."
With Zyn's meteoric rise, PMI has demonstrated that nicotine pouches are more than just a passing trend. They represent a scalable, profitable and consumer-friendly alternative to traditional tobacco products. The question now is: can a similar shift happen in the cannabis industry?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From Nicotine To Nootropics: Pouches Are Just Getting Started</h3>
While Zyn has reshaped the nicotine industry, its success is part of a broader shift in how consumers approach smokeless and discreet consumption. Pouches, as a delivery system, are gaining traction across multiple categories, including cannabinoids, caffeine and nootropics. This trend suggests that the appeal of pouches extends far beyond nicotine replacement, opening the door for new product innovations.
Nick Kenny, lead advisor at KBS Strategic Advisory, has worked closely with major tobacco companies exploring these adjacent markets. He points out that Zyn's success has fueled renewed interest in pouches as a delivery method for other substances.
"The widespread adoption of oral nicotine pouches by regulators and adult consumers has spurned renewed interest in the category as a delivery method for cannabinoids," Kenny told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga</a> in an exclusive interview. "Big Tobacco [companies] are consistently looking to diversify and enhance their portfolio of offerings, and where they can leverage existing technology to differentiate, such as in the case of pouches, it's a natural adjacency to take advantage of."
Beyond nicotine, companies are expanding into new bioactive substances that fit well within the pouch format. Cannadips, a California-based company specializing in smokeless, spit-free pouches, has pioneered THC and CBD-infused alternatives to traditional oral tobacco. Co-founder Case Mandel has been at the forefront of this shift, developing pouches infused with THC, CBD, caffeine and nootropics.
"We participate in all those different categories (&#8230;) we have brands in all the different verticals," Mandel told Benzinga. "Pouches are becoming an acceptable way to consume many different things."
The appeal of pouches is rooted in their smoke-free, discreet and fast-acting nature. Unlike traditional edibles or tinctures, which must pass through the digestive system, pouches deliver active ingredients through oral absorption, leading to a quicker onset of effects. This efficiency has made them particularly attractive for consumers looking for functional products, whether for focus, energy, relaxation or mood enhancement.
Caffeine pouches have already started to take off, following a similar trajectory to nicotine pouches. Mandel notes that the market has grown significantly, with his company seeing success in partnerships like Upperdeckys, a high-dose caffeine pouch brand that has gained popularity through influencer marketing.
"We have the highest-dose caffeine pouch product on the market," Mandel said. "Every pouch is almost like an energy drink."
Meanwhile, nootropic pouches infused with compounds aimed at enhancing cognitive function have also started to gain momentum. Mandel's company has developed nootropic pouches under the Rebel brand, leveraging ingredients like Alpha-GPC and Cognizin to cater to consumers looking for performance-enhancing alternatives.
"We see that the new age of consumers want healthier products, they want to know where their ingredients are from and they want cutting-edge delivery systems," Mandel said.
With consumer behavior shifting toward discreet, functional and efficient consumption, pouches are proving to be a format with applications far beyond nicotine. The question now is whether cannabis pouches can follow the same path, carving out a substantial market segment like Zyn did in the nicotine space.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can THC Pouches Follow In Zyn's Footsteps?</h3>
While nicotine and functional ingredient pouches have gained mainstream traction, cannabis-infused pouches remain a niche product. Forbes' Will Yakowicz recently <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2025/01/31/zyn-with-weed-cannadips-pouch-craze-hits-the-cannabis-industry/">reported</a> on the rise of THC-infused pouches, spotlighting companies like Cannadips and Juana Dips that are leading the charge in this emerging category. These companies are working to establish THC pouches as a viable segment within the cannabis industry, but the path to success is far from straightforward.
While Mandel sees major potential, he acknowledges the significant barriers to scaling THC pouches. "We believe THC pouches are going to be a big market in the future," he said. "But due to the incredibly high capital expenditure costs of pouching machines and intellectual property –and this really poorly fragmented state-by-state regulatory model due to lack of federal reform– it's been very hard for us or anyone else to get significant traction in the THC pouch space."
Unlike nicotine pouches, which can be sold nationwide in convenience stores, THC-infused pouches are limited by the patchwork of U.S. cannabis laws. Without federal legalization, each state enforces its own licensing and distribution rules, creating barriers to scaling production and streamlining sales.
Without centralized production and wider distribution, THC pouches won't easily compete with dominant cannabis formats like flower and vapes.
"At some point, we, as well as others, will be able to have a factory in one location, provide product to the country and get it for a price that consumers can afford and can build into their daily routine versus like a novelty," Mandel said.
Price is another major factor. Cannabis pouches are significantly more expensive than nicotine pouches, making it difficult to drive widespread adoption. While a can of nicotine pouches typically costs around $6, THC pouches can be three to four times more expensive due to taxes, compliance costs and limited production scalability.
"When consumers see a circular can, especially if they use Rogue or any of these products, they expect the product to be the same price or close to it," Mandel said. "No one&#8217;s going to switch from a $6 product to a $30 product and use it at the same frequency. It's just really hard."
For THC pouches to reach mainstream consumers, Mandel argues that the industry will need some level of federal reform to reduce costs and streamline production.
"Really, in my opinion, it&#8217;s going to have to be about commoditization," he said. "Until we can normalize the price of a THC pouch to be at least close to a nicotine pouch, it will be hard for it to be anything more than a novelty product that people use occasionally rather than incorporating into their daily routine."
Despite these challenges, companies like Cannadips are focusing on regions with strong smokeless tobacco traditions to drive early adoption. The company has launched in Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky, among others, where dip products are already popular, in an effort to establish pouches as a daily-use product rather than a novelty.
"We&#8217;re looking at areas of strength where we can put our attention to and really show that this isn't just a novelty product," Mandel said. "This is a product that people are building into their daily lives."
For THC pouches to reach mass-market success, pricing, regulations and consumer awareness will need to improve. If those barriers are addressed, they could become a major category within the cannabis industry. The next question is whether Big Tobacco and large cannabis operators will step in to accelerate growth—or if THC pouches will remain a niche product.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Will Fund The Rise Of Cannabis Pouches?</h3>
As cannabis pouches attempt to carve out a foothold in the market, the key question remains: Will large-scale industry players, whether Big Tobacco or major cannabis operators, step in to accelerate their adoption?
Nick Kenny believes tobacco companies are closely monitoring the category but will only invest if they see clear market potential and broad distribution opportunities. "Big Tobacco [companies] have the desire and ability to make the category successful. However, they will only do so if they can deliver a product that can differentiate in experience and attain widespread distribution," he said.
Kenny also noted that consumer adoption and regulatory barriers will both play critical roles in determining the success of THC pouches. Unlike nicotine pouches, which benefit from nationwide distribution, THC pouches face restrictions due to fragmented state-by-state cannabis laws, making it difficult for companies to scale efficiently.
Despite these challenges, Case Mandel sees long-term potential. "We created the category. We&#8217;ve been doing this now for nine years," he said. "We&#8217;ve solved a lot of the issues when it comes to delivery of cannabinoids."
Still, affordability remains a major hurdle. Without economies of scale, THC pouches are significantly more expensive than nicotine pouches, limiting mass adoption.
"Recreational cannabis is really expensive, and it's really expensive compared to traditional [illicit] markets in a lot of states," Mandel said.
One potential avenue for wider availability is hemp-derived THC pouches, which fall under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, Mandel points out that regulations on THC content per pouch make them less competitive than edibles, vapes and drinks. "Because a pouch is only 500 milligrams, you&#8217;re looking at a milligram and a half of THC per pouch," he explained.
Rather than trying to force national expansion too early, Mandel's strategy is to focus on regions with strong smokeless tobacco traditions, where dip users may be more likely to embrace the format.
"We&#8217;re kind of looking at areas of strength where we can put our attention to and really show, ‘Hey, this isn't just a novelty product. This is a product that people are building into their daily life,'" he said.
The future of cannabis pouches will depend on major industry investment, evolving regulations, and consumer demand. If a major player—either in cannabis or tobacco—commits to mass production and distribution, the market could scale quickly.
For now, THC pouches remain a niche product, but the potential is there. If a dominant player enters the space, cannabis pouches could redefine consumption—just as Zyn did with nicotine.

Zyn Changed Nicotine Forever - Are Cannabis Pouches The Next Big Thing?

Department store chain Kroger Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) has disclosed its succession&nbsp;plan for Chief Financial Officer role.
David Kennerley, who is currently the senior vice president and CFO for PepsiCo Inc Europe, will step into the role of senior vice president and CFO at Kroger beginning April 3, succeeding Todd Foley.
Kennerley will officially join the company on March 10, with Foley continuing as interim CFO until the end of Kroger&#8217;s fiscal year 2024.
In 2021, he was appointed group vice president and corporate controller; in 2024, he took on the role of interim CFO.
Foley will remain part of the senior leadership team, helping with the transition until the close of Kroger&#8217;s first quarter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cisco Positioning Itself At The Heart Of AI Action</h2>
Cisco is gearing up for its earnings report with a wave of AI-driven innovations that could give its stock a turbocharged jolt. The tech giant recently launched its new smart switches featuring intelligent networking silicon and embedded data processing units (DPUs), poised to redefine AI data center designs. 
But that's not all — Cisco is empowering service providers to rethink their networks to better handle the avalanche of AI data and traffic, unlocking new monetization opportunities in the process.
Partnering with Mistral AI, Cisco has also rolled out an AI Renewals Agent to simplify the renewal proposal process, a key milestone in its ongoing Customer Experience (CX) evolution. 
As AI becomes the backbone of the next-gen internet, Cisco seems to be positioning itself at the heart of the action — now investors will be watching closely to see how these innovations translate into dollars when the company reports earnings.
Let&#8217;s look at what the charts indicate for Cisco stock and how the stock currently maps against Wall Street estimates.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cisco Stock Moderately Bullish Ahead Of Q2 Earnings</h2>
Cisco stock is exhibiting a moderately bullish trend, though slight selling pressure is emerging. The stock is trading above key moving averages, signaling sustained upward momentum.

With Cisco stock at $61.75, it is positioned above the 20-day simple moving average of $61.14 and its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $59.86 — both indicating a bullish trend. Additionally, the stock remains well above its 200-day SMA of $52.65, reinforcing long-term strength. However, the eight-day SMA at $62.06 lies above the stock reflecting some selling pressure.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator stands at 0.77, further supporting a bullish outlook. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 57.02 suggests that is Cisco stock keeps rising, it could be approaching overbought territory, potentially leading to near-term consolidation or a pullback. 
Investors should monitor whether the stock maintains support at shorter-term moving averages to confirm the continuation of its bullish momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cisco Analysts See 8% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CSCO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Cisco stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $59.50.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Hotter Inflation</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-hotter-inflation-spy-mc-02122025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market was in the micro resistance zone prior to the release of inflation data.</li>
<li>The chart shows that as of this writing after the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data the stock market fell below the low band of the micro resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market has made several attempts to break above the micro resistance zone over a period of time.&nbsp; Prudent investors need to note that in spite of extreme bullishness and aggressive buying by the momo crowd, so far, the stock market has failed to break above the micro resistance zone.&nbsp; This indicates that the momo crowd's aggressive buying is meeting selling from other investors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>CPI came hotter than expected.&nbsp; Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Headline CPI came at 0.5% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Core CPI came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>As a reader of The Arora Report, hotter inflation is not a surprise to you.&nbsp; We have been sharing our analysis with you for a while that inflation is likely to be stickier than the Fed and stock market believe. The Arora Report call has kept you ahead of the curve.</li>
<li>Today, Powell will continue his testimony before Congress.&nbsp; Here are the key points from his testimony yesterday:
<ul>
<li>The Fed is not in a rush to make changes because the economy is "in a pretty good place."</li>
<li>If inflation does not improve and the economy is solid, the Fed will hold.</li>
<li>If inflation quickly declines or there is surprise weakness in the labor market, the Fed will cut interest rates.</li>
<li>The neutral rate has increased compared to pre-pandemic.</li>
<li>The reason longer term rates are high is "not particularly closely related to Fed policy." Investor concerns of inflation risks and rising budget deficits could keep longer term rates at higher levels.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The stock market has gotten used to Powell coming to its rescue.  In The Arora Report analysis, this time, Powell is unlikely to come to the stock market's rescue.  Investors need to remember that in December 2018, Powell was doing the right thing by raising interest rates, and the stock market fell because the stock market was used to Powell coming to its rescue but that did not happen. Then, Powell cut interest rates; the stock market had a rip-roaring rally.  Could a repeat of 2018 &#8211; 2019 happen again? Trump is already on the record saying that interest rates should be lower.  This dynamic is taken into account in the protection band.  Please see the "Protection Band And What To Do Now" section below. </li>
<li>The consensus in the stock market is that Trump's tariffs will raise inflation.  Inflation is already higher than consensus.  Prudent investors should note that The Arora Report call is more nuanced.  The Arora Report call is that tariffs can be implemented in a way that, with the exception of a one time increase in inflation, can have a beneficial impact on the U.S. economy and stock market.  Of course, there is no way to know how Trump will implement tariffs.  This uncertainty is also taken into account in the protection band.  </li>
<li>As we have been sharing with you, earnings are the single largest determinant of the stock market in the long term.&nbsp; So far, there is a positive and a negative in earnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>On the positive side, earnings could rise to 12.5% vs. 7.3% expected prior to the start of earnings season.&nbsp; This is significantly above the average of 5.5% since 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>On the negative side, only 44% of S&amp;P 500 companies beat operating margin estimates.&nbsp; This is the lowest number since 2022.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The positive and negative of earnings is also taken into account in the protection band.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Producer Price Index (PPI) and initial jobless claims will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), and NVIDIA Corp (NVDA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is seeing selling on CPI data.  The Arora Report call is bitcoin is not a hedge but a speculative asset.  Note that The Arora Report call is contrary to what bitcoin bulls want investors to believe.  
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Market Summary

Hot CPI Ahead Of Trump's Tariffs; Powell Not Coming To The Stock Market's Rescue

Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) is facing a dip in its share price on Wednesday, but the company remains <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43652739/carvana-customer-survey-reveals-preferences-of-car-buyers-driving-rapid-growth-of-used-ev-category" rel="noreferrer noopener">a key player in the used electric vehicle market.</a>
Carvana today released its EV Trends Report, shedding light on the growing adoption of used EVs.
The report shows that Carvana&#8217;s EV sales mix leads the used vehicle market as a whole, with 5.7% of its sales coming from EVs in 2024, compared to just 1.3% for the overall used car market.
The primary driver behind this surge in EV interest is the appeal of saving both time and money at the pump, Carvana said in the report.
Vehicle style and performance are also important factors, especially as more EV models become available.
Notably, 80% of EV owners prefer charging at home, with 86% of them driving less than 50 miles daily, making public charging infrastructure less of a necessity, Carvana noted in its report.

In addition to its focus on EVs, Carvana is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43627318/whats-going-on-with-carvana-stock-today-3" rel="noreferrer noopener">enhancing its operational capabilities as well.</a>
The company announced the integration of its Inspection and Reconditioning Center into the ADESA Indianapolis wholesale auction site.
This &#8220;Megasite&#8221; will combine digital and in-lane auction services with reconditioning, boosting production capacity.
It will also create 200 new jobs in the Indianapolis area, further solidifying Carvana&#8217;s presence in the automotive market.

What's Going On With Carvana Stock Today?

Jeff Bezos may have built Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in a garage, but his success story didn't start there—it started with a teen mom who had nothing. When Bezos honored his mother in a <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1138206602043936769">post on X in 2019</a>, the world saw the woman who raised one of the richest men alive. She wasn't born into wealth, and she certainly didn't have it easy. In fact, she was a teenage mother who had to fight just to stay in school.
Jacklyn Bezos gave birth to Jeff at just 17 years old while still in high school. The school administration tried to kick her out, but she refused to accept it. "It didn't make any sense to me, so I pushed back and I kept on pushing back," she recalled in a commencement speech at Cambridge College, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/14/jeff-bezoss-single-teen-mom-brought-him-to-night-school-with-her.html">reported by CNBC</a>. The school relented—but with cruel conditions. She wasn't allowed to talk to other students, eat in the cafeteria, or even walk across the stage at graduation.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
</ul>
By the time Jeff was 17 months old, Jacklyn was already divorced from his biological father, Ted Jorgensen. Determined to make a life for herself and her son, she took secretarial classes and landed a job that paid $190 a month. It was barely enough to afford rent, so when she couldn't pay for a phone, her father rigged a walkie-talkie system so she could check in with her parents at 7 a.m. every day. "That's how we were able to stay in an apartment," she explained.
Jacklyn didn't let anything stop her from continuing her education. She enrolled in night school, bringing baby Jeff with her to class, carrying two duffel bags—one for textbooks, one for diapers. It was in one of those classes that she met her future husband, Mike Bezos, a Cuban refugee who would go on to raise Jeff as his own.
Life changed dramatically for the Bezos family in 1995 when Jeff pitched an idea to his parents—an online bookstore. Jacklyn and Mike invested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42818961/jeff-bezos-urged-his-brother-and-sister-to-invest-10000-in-amazon-the-stake-grew-15499900-and-its-now-potentially-worth-1-5-billion">$250,000 in their son's startup</a>, a risky move at the time. That gamble paid off in a way no one could have predicted. By 2018, their stake in Amazon was reportedly worth $30 billion, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-31/a-hidden-amazon-fortune-bezos-parents-could-be-worth-billions">according to Bloomberg</a>.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
With Amazon's stock continuing to grow, their investment has likely appreciated even further. However, calculating their current worth isn't as simple as just comparing Amazon's 2018 stock price to its 2025 price.
In 2022, Amazon executed a 20-for-1 stock split, which dramatically changed how share prices and ownership stakes are measured. This means:
<ul>
<li>The price per share was divided by 20—for example, Amazon's pre-split price of $1,834.40 per share became $91.72 per share post-split.</li>
<li>The number of shares each investor owned multiplied by 20—meaning anyone who had 1 share before now had 20.</li>
</ul>
When looking at historical stock prices today, they appear adjusted for the split, meaning the numbers shown have already been divided by 20. For example, on Aug. 2, 2018 at the time the Bloomberg article was published, Amazon's stock price appears as $91.72 per share in adjusted historical data, but the actual pre-split price was $1,834.40.

If Jacklyn and Mike Bezos held 16.6 million shares in 2018, then after Amazon's 20-for-1 stock split in 2022, they would now own 332 million shares.
As of Feb. 8, Amazon's stock price has surged to $229.15 per share. If they haven't sold or donated any significant number of shares since 2018, their combined net worth could now be approximately $76.1 billion—making Jacklyn Bezos potentially one of the wealthiest women in the world.
However, exact reporting on their shares has not been made public since 1999, so this estimate is based solely on previous reports and Amazon's stock performance rather than confirmed recent disclosures.
From a teenage mom who had to fight for her education to a billionaire investor in one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41255752/jeff-bezos-says-all-overnight-success-takes-10-years-amazon-didnt-turn-a-profit-for-almost-a-decade">world's most valuable companies</a>, her journey proves that grit and determination can change everything.

Robinhood Markets's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NYSE">HOOD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 21.16% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.55 million shares sold short, which is 1.9% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 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 Robinhood Markets 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 Robinhood Markets'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>, Robinhood Markets's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.13%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<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.
