How Is The Market Feeling About Innodata?

Quantum computing stocks saw huge interest from investors and Benzinga readers in 2024, with several ranking among the most-searched tickers on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/42755273/exclusive-top-20-most-searched-tickers-on-benzinga-pro-in-december-2024-where-do-tesla-nvidia-quantum-computing-stock-rank"> Benzinga Pro in 2024.</a>
In a recent poll, Benzinga readers picked their favorite quantum computing stock for 2025.
What Happened: After a stellar 2024 for quantum computing stocks, 2025 may have different plans, with NVIDIA Corporation CEO Jensen Huang <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42867168/nvidias-jensen-huang-said-something-that-has-all-quantum-computing-stocks-tumbling-qubt-and-rgti-down-13-ionq-down-11">providing caution for </a>the timetable of the technology.
While speaking at an investor event Tuesday, Huang cautioned that quantum computing applications could be 15 to 30 years away.
"If you kind of said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that would probably be on the early side. If you said 30, it's probably on the late side," Huang said. "If you picked 20, I think a whole bunch of us would believe it."
Huang shared optimism for future quantum computing use cases and told investors that the company collaborates with nearly every quantum computing company worldwide.
Ahead of the new year and Huang's comments, Benzinga asked readers to pick their favorite quantum computing stock for 2025.
"Which quantum stock would you consider investing in for 2025?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>): 33%</li>
<li>None, I'm Not Considering Quantum Stocks: 26%</li>
<li>Quantum Computing Inc (NASDSAQ:QUBT): 24%</li>
<li>D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>): 13%</li>
<li>Innodata (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>): 5%</li>
</ul>
Rigetti led the poll with one-third of the results. The next highest vote-getter may have been a surprise, and could also go along with what Huang said about it being early. Over one-quarter of poll respondents said they are not considering quantum stocks in 2025.

Why It's Important: These four stocks all saw sizable gains in 2024 and started 2025 trading higher before Huang's comments sent stocks in the sector down double-digit percentages in Tuesday's after-hours market and Wednesday's premarket trading session.
Here were the 2024 gains for the four stocks above at the time of the poll:
<ul>
<li>RGTI: +1,541%</li>
<li>QUBT: +1,893%</li>
<li>QBTDS: +969%</li>
<li>INOD: +435%</li>
</ul>
Over the last two years, stocks in the artificial intelligence sector saw huge gains as the sector was blessed with new use cases and higher interest from investors. While quantum computing has followed a similar path over the last year, investors may now become more cautious, given the comments from Huang.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he is ‘not a fan' of Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>).
On Dec. 4, Novavax agreed to sell its Bohumil, Czech Republic-based manufacturing facility to Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42323263/wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-to-buy-novavaxs-czech-republic-manufacturing-facility-for-200-million">for $200 million.</a>
Also, the Food and Drug Administration recently granted Emergency Use Authorization of the company&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40688052/fda-approves-novavaxs-updated-covid-vaccine-targeting-currently-circulating-variants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> updated COVID-19 vaccine</a>.

The vaccine is the only protein-based option available in the U.S. for people aged 12 and older for the prevention of COVID-19.
When asked about Alliance Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNT#NYSE">LNT</a>), Cramer said Live Nation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) is a better buy.
On Oct. 31, Alliant Energy posted better-than-expected quarterly results.
Cramer said he can't get behind Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>). &#8220;If I want AI, I will go for Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) as it comes down,&#8221; he added.
On Dec. 2, Nebius Group announced it entered a $700 million private placement financing agreement with institutional investors.
Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>) is now a &#8220;very expensive&#8221; stock, Cramer said. &#8220;And I just think if you take a little off the table, you can always get back in.&#8221;
On Nov. 7, Innodata reported better-than-expected third-quarter financial results.
When asked about Smith &amp; Wesson Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>), he said, &#8220;Not my cup of tea, but I don't think it's a bad level to get involved.&#8221;

United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) has &#8220;gone down so much, it's been such a disappointment,&#8221; the Mad Money host said. &#8220;I still think this stock is too expensive going in to the holiday season.&#8221;
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Nov. 22 that it settled charges against United Parcel Service for materially misrepresenting its earnings because it failed to follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) when valuing one of its worst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42151959/financial-crime-weekly-ups-pays-45m-fine-bit-mining-pays-4m-fine-for-bribery">performing businesses</a>.&nbsp;
&#8220;I don't want to recommend a stock in the AI category that's losing so much money that's up so much,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBAI#NYSE">BBAI</a>).

<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.

Major Decision: Ashok Mishra Exercises Options, Realizing $2.48M At Innodata

Innodata's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NYSE">INOD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 35.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.47 million shares sold short, which is 9.12% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.04 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>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Will Fix It&nbsp;</h3>
In my previous post (<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-11-06/post-trump-victory-trade">The Post-Trump Victory Trade</a>), I highlighted a half dozen stocks in which my subscribers and I had positions that had double digit gains the day after Trump&#8217;s election victory. In response, a commenter wrote, &#8220;Well, I didn&#8217;t like any of those trades, so I will stick to my Gold and Silver.&#8221;.&nbsp;
As it happened, the day after Trump&#8217;s victory, was also the day of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/the-market-ear/great-gold-puke">Great Gold Puke</a>&#8220;, as The Market Ear put it:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h3 class="wp-block-heading">All good things&#8230;</h3>
&#8230;.must come to an end. Gold is puking, putting in the biggest down candle in forever as it breaks below the short term trend channel. The 50 day comes in around $2635, and the bigger trend line around $2600.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3141" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-300x156.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-768x399.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> 
<cite>Refinitiv</cite></blockquote>
Why would gold tumble after Trump&#8217;s victory? Perhaps there&#8217;s a clue in the Trump campaign&#8217;s slogan, &#8220;Trump will fix it&#8221;. One of the things Trump will fix is the elevated geopolitical risk the world has seen over the last few years, starting with the Russia-Ukraine War, and extending to the wars in the Mideast between Israel and Hamas, and Israel and Iran, and tensions between China and Taiwan.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Risk Is Already Starting To Ebb</h3>
The geopolitical risk premium is a key factor influencing the price of precious metals like gold and silver, as they are traditionally seen as a haven during times of instability and war. Given that, note what has happened since Trump&#8217;s victory:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Hamas <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1854516506169585796">has called for</a> an end to its war with Israel. </li>
<li>Russian President Vladimir Putin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-praises-courageous-trump-hints-ukraine-talks-phone-call-likely">has congratulated Trump</a>&nbsp;on his victory, praised Trump&#8217;s bravery during the first assassination attempt on him, and expressed an openness toward talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war. Peace between the U.S. and Russia would facilitate peace in the Mideast and elsewhere, given Russia&#8217;s ties to Iran, China, and other key countries.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China&#8217;s President Xi <a href="https://x.com/XHNews/status/1854396381982830623">also extended congratulations</a> and an olive branch to Trump.</li>
</ul>
If Trump succeeds in ending the wars in Eastern Europe and the Mideast, and calming tensions across the Taiwan Strait, that would further reduce gold&#8217;s geopolitical risk premium.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Deflationary Potential Of Trump&#8217;s Domestic Policies </h3>
You&#8217;re probably thinking now that even if peace starts to break out, high inflation is baked into the cake because of government spending, and that should boost the price of gold. Consider, though, the deflationary potential of Trump&#8217;s proposed policies, and those of his close allies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Critics of tariffs often point out that they are, effectively, a regressive tax on domestic consumers. This is actually true, and like all regressive taxes, they are deflationary. Just as throwing money and low income Americans boosted inflation during COVID, an effective regressive tax on them would cool inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Trump&#8217;s deportations.&nbsp;Deporting millions of illegal aliens&#8211;or deporting a smaller number and prompting millions more to self-deport&#8211;will have a deflationary effect on sectors such as housing, as there will be fewer consumers competing for the same number of homes.&nbsp;</li>
<li>RFK, Jr.&#8217;s campaign against chronic disease. Every case of diabetes and other chronic diseases RFK, Jr. can prevent with changes to American food policy means a reduction of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in health care spending. That would cool healthcare inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Elon Musk&#8217;s Department Of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk has spoken about slashing the number of federal employees (something Vivek Ramaswamy pointed out could be done while avoiding Civil Service regulations) and cutting government waste. That would be deflationary too.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Much Of This Is Likely To Happen&nbsp;</h3>
We all remember how Trump was stymied in his first term, but he is in a much stronger position now. He won a landslide victory, and is now the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. Plus, he has much smarter, and more competent people on his side now, such as Elon Musk. None of this is particularly good for gold and silver prices.&nbsp;
