Where KinderCare Learning Stands With Analysts

Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) is reportedly developing a new handheld gaming console designed to compete in the growing portable gaming market.
The device, which aims to offer native gameplay for PlayStation 5 titles, is still in its early stages and may take years before hitting the market, the Verge <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/25/24305337/sony-handheld-gaming-console-playstation-nintendo-microsoft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Nintendo (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are among Sony&#8217;s key rivals in this segment.

As of November 2024, the PlayStation 5 reached approximately 5.27 million units sold in Japan, significantly outpacing the Xbox Series X, which sold around 310,000 units as per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1060154/japan-unit-sales-handheld-home-video-game-consoles/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Statista</a>. Sony and Microsoft introduced their latest gaming consoles in November 2020, with both companies also offering budget-friendly versions. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition trailed the standard model in popularity, while the Xbox Series S outperformed the Xbox Series X in sales. Additionally, Sony&#8217;s PlayStation 5 Pro, launched in early November 2024, achieved sales of about 90,000 units within its first two weeks.
Nintendo, a dominant player in handheld gaming, is preparing to launch the next generation of its Switch console next year, per the report.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is exploring a portable Xbox prototype, though its release is likely years away. The category also sees increased activity from PC-based devices like Valve&#8217;s Steam Deck and Asus&#8217; ROG Ally, which have expanded gaming on the go.
Sony plans to build on its existing hardware with this new console. Unlike the PlayStation Portal, which streams PS5 games via Wi-Fi, the upcoming device will run games natively, broadening its potential audience and providing enhanced gaming flexibility.
This new project is not Sony&#8217;s first venture into portable gaming. The company previously released the PlayStation Portable and PS Vita, which gained a dedicated fanbase but were ultimately discontinued.

However, the company exceeded profit forecasts, posting EPS of $0.37, compared to the anticipated $0.27.
The Game &amp; Network Services (G&amp;NS) division reported a 12% increase in revenue to ¥1.07 trillion while operating income surged 184% to ¥138.8 billion. Sony sold 3.8 million PlayStation 5 units during the quarter, a decline from 4.9 million sold in the same period last year.
Sony expects fiscal 2024 sales of $87.05 billion, above the analyst estimate of&nbsp;$84.85 billion.&nbsp;

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers.

The Analyst Landscape: 10 Takes On ARM Holdings

Sun Communities's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.38 million shares sold short, which is 1.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.45 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 Sun Communities 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 Sun Communities'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>, Sun Communities's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.41%, 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>

<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.

Crypto trader Tardigrade expects DOGE to retrace to $0.30 before potentially spiking to $3, drawing <a href="https://x.com/TATrader_Alan/status/1860958108601966599">comparisons</a> to similar cycles from 2018-2021 and 2021-2025.
Crypto trader Master Kenobi sees a positive broader trend for DOGE but the timeline could shift, potentially influenced by changes in Bitcoin dominance. 
He added that the current market behavior resembles early January 2021 and if history repeats, volatility may follow, according to the trader. In the previous cycle, DOGE dropped 55% over two weeks, although such a drop isn&#8217;t guaranteed.
He <a href="https://x.com/btc_MasterPlan/status/1860790391332843921">suggests</a> a conservative target of $1 to $1.45 and noted that a green close this week would mark the second-longest streak of green weeks in DOGE's history (6 weeks, the record being 8 weeks in 2017-2018).
Statistics: IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume increasing by 41.1% and daily active addresses falling by 34.9%. 
Coinglass data shows liquidations at the lowest since Nov.2. Long liquidations stand at $3.74 million, short liquidations at $2.73 million. Open interest is at all time high levels of $3.95 billion.
Community News: Dogecoin spiked to $0.40 over the weekend after an Elon Musk tweet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42152684/musk-tweet-sparks-dogecoin-surge-fuels-speculation-on-x-payments">sparked speculations</a> about the forthcoming X Payments service, which could potentially support transactions with digital assets like DOGE.
