Most people will not notice the importance of this week. They will be far too busy talking about things like AI eating the world, China taking over the government, and Elon Musk ascending to the Interplanetary throne to notice. 
The media will not be much help. They will be busy covering the vast conspiracy surrounding the President&#8217;s bathroom schedule and the whereabouts of Scaramucci&#8217;s mom.
The instant experts of the Internet will be far too busy touting the new nuclear plants that will fit in your pocket and allow you to mine Bitcoin and develop a personal AGI program on the go. The fancier models will apparently have an adapter that allows you to mount the reactor to your dash and simultaneously power your vehicle&#8217;s onboard entertainment system.
First, and most importantly, pitchers and catchers report this week. It is, as the saying goes, huge. I already have my tickets to catch the Orioles when they come to town, and I am ready for baseball season.
This week is also the deadline for 13F filings at the SEC. These handy documents contain all the stocks owned by the nation&#8217;s money managers, hedge funds, and other big-money types.
Comparing this quarter&#8217;s filings to the last gives us a picture of what big money (only some of which is Smart Money) was buying and selling in the final quarter of 2024. The media and instant experts will cover the duplicate half-dozen filings they always cover. We will cover the ones our research indicates are highly likely to help us locate stock ideas that deliver the outsized returns we seek.
One of the investors I have tracked for over a decade filed early this quarter. PL Capital has been investing in bank stocks for a long time with enormous success. When the occasion calls for it, the firm has taken an activist approach to bank stock investing with outstanding results for those of us who piggybacked their efforts.
Thanks to pro-business, no-regulation, and low-tax administration, bank stocks are positioned to be the leading sector for 2025. Relaxing the bank M&amp;A rules is going to set off a tsunami of pent-up demand for buyers and sellers alike.
I could go into a long explanation and examination of each stock, but it will not change any minds. You either understand why banks are an extraordinary opportunity right now or you do not care about banks.
Here are the top three banks that PL Capital has been buying recently:
F.N.B. Corp (Ticker: FNB) is a Pittsburgh-based bank with 350 banking offices throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. FNB already reported earnings and is firing on all cylinders. Deposits and demand both grew, and tangible book value was up double digits year over year. The bank has plenty of capital and the loan portfolio is solid.
BankFinancial Corporation (Ticker: BFIN) has 19 branches in the Chicago Metropolitan area. The bank is well-capitalized and has a solid loan portfolio. Given its size and market, I would be less than surprised to see a larger bank that wanted to expand in the Chicago metro market make an offer for this bank at some point in 2025.
Franklin Financial (Ticker: FRAF) has 24 branches in South Central Pennsylvania and Northwestern Maryland. Franklin has a pristine loan portfolio, sufficient capital, and trades at a reasonable valuation. Investors who accumulated the stock on pullbacks should do very well over the next year.
All three are in excellent financial shape, have strong loan portfolios, and trade at attractive valuations.
Keeping with the week&#8217;s most important news, I noticed that media mogul John Malone shared my excitement at baseball&#8217;s return. In January, he acquired shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings (Ticker: BATRK) worth over $3 million, adding to his substantial stake in the baseball team. The Braves are one of the most popular teams in baseball, and last year, they drew over 3 million fans to Truist Park. Braves games are a staple on TV and radio stations across the Southeastern United States. The team will be good again this year and is the early favorite to win their division and make the playoffs in 2025.
Atlanta Braves Holdings also owns a mixed-use development around the stadium with retail, residential, office, hotel, and entertainment opportunities known as The Battery Atlanta. The shops and restaurants are a source of year-round revenue and appear to be undervalued by the current stock price.
I have hit (pardon the too-easy pun) home runs with shares of the Cleveland Indians and Boston Celtics in my career, and every time we have a bad market or the Braves suffer a losing streak, I add to my Braves Holdings position hoping lightning strikes a third time.

F N B's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNB#NYSE">FNB</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.04% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.47 million shares sold short, which is 2.74% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.17 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 F N B 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 F N B'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>, F N B's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.54%, 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>

F N B Q3 2024 Adj EPS $0.34 Misses $0.35 Estimate, Sales $413.00M Beat $410.78M Estimate

FNB Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNB#NYSE">FNB</a>) will release earnings results for its third quarter after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FNB/earnings">closing bell on Thursday, Oct. 17</a>,
Analysts expect the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company to report quarterly earnings at 35 cents per share. That&#8217;s down from 40 cents per share in the year-ago period. FNB projects to report revenue of $410.78 million for the recent quarter, compared to $403.35 million a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
With the recent buzz around FNB, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. The firm currently offers an annual dividend yield of 3.33%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 12 cents per share (48 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from FNB, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by FNB&#8217;s dividend of 48 cents: $6,000 / $0.48 = 12,500 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $184,750 worth of FNB, or 12,500 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.48 = 2,500 shares, or $36,950 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
Price Action: Shares of FNB gained by 2.5% to close at $14.78 on Wednesday.
On Aug. 7, FNB said its Chief Audit Executive Christine Tvaroch is retiring after nearly 30 years of service to the company.

<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.
