<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 Exelixis has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Exelixis'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>, Exelixis's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

B of A Securities Downgrades Exelixis to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $39

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) has identified five prescription drugs whose price increases in 2023 lacked sufficient clinical evidence to justify the hikes.
Gilead Sciences Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) Biktarvy, Johnson &amp; Johnson's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) Darzalex, Novartis AG's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) Entresto, Exelixis Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXEL#NASDAQ">EXEL</a>) Cabometyx, and Pfizer Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Xeljanz are among the five drugs flagged for unsupported price increases.
These five drugs' unsupported net price increases <a target="_blank" href="https://icer.org/news-insights/press-releases/icer-announces-most-significant-drug-price-hikes-unsupported-by-new-clinical-evidence-in-us/" rel="noreferrer noopener">produced</a> $815 million in incremental added costs to U.S. payers in 2023. These price increases contributed significantly to the overall spending surge.
ICER's analysis <a target="_blank" href="https://icer.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/UPI_2024_Report_121224.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed</a> that the other five drugs on the list did demonstrate new clinical evidence to justify their increased costs.
Merck &amp; Co Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) Keytruda, AstraZeneca Plc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) Imfinizi and Tagrisso, Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Opdivo, and Amgen Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) Prolia
The findings are part of ICER's latest Unsupported Price Increases (UPI) report, which examines the top 10 drugs with significant net price increases in the past year.
ICER's Vice President of Research, Dr. Foluso Agboola, highlighted the impact of these price hikes, noting they exceed inflation rates and strain the healthcare system.
The ICER report highlighted that Gilead's Biktarvy saw its wholesale acquisition cost increase by 5.9%, with its hike costing U.S. payers $359 million in additional drug spending.
According to the ICER report, the Darzalex price before discounts increased by 7.6%, compared to 6.2% for Entresto, 7.5% for Cabometyx, and 6% for Xeljanz.
Those price increases added an additional $190 million, $108 million, $86 million, and $72 million to 2023 U.S. drug spending, respectively.
Methodology Behind ICER's Findings
<ul>
<li>ICER's evaluation followed a detailed protocol introduced in April 2024. The organization assessed drugs meeting criteria such as ranking among the top 250 by U.S. sales revenue and exceeding consumer price index growth plus 2% in their Wholesale Acquisition Cost.</li>
<li>The analysis focused on distinguishing price increases driven by value from those unrelated to new clinical evidence.</li>
<li>Manufacturers provided input, and ICER reviewed published studies for evidence of additional health benefits.</li>
