Top 3 Health Care Stocks You May Want To Dump In February

Investors in the United States received a jolt last week as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 3%, one of the hottest inflation readings in months. The CPI had been steadily declining since topping 9% in 2022, and markets had assumed that the Federal Reserve was on track to get close to the 2% target benchmark by the end of the year.
But this hot print raises some questions. Are these one-off effects from seasonal incidences or consumers getting ahead of potential tariffs? Or are specific inputs like food and energy flashing warning signs of a new inflationary wave?
While one hot CPI report is hardly cause for alarm, it did put investors and consumers on guard. The scars of 9% readings are still fresh in everyone's mind, and a few more hot prints could end any rate cut hopes for 2025. If inflation reignites, some sectors will be better prepared than others.
Here are five sectors to consider avoiding if inflation stays high.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Discretionary</h2>
When inflation roared following the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers buckled down and focused on essentials over luxuries and experiences. Inflation frequently hurts companies in the consumer discretionary sectors that depend on infrequent purchases or have more affordable substitutes. It also erodes purchasing power, giving consumers less income for disposable goods.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="420" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154223/arca-1024x420.png" alt="" class="wp-image-791862" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154223/arca-1024x420.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154223/arca-300x123.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154223/arca-768x315.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154223/arca.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The iShares US Consumer Discretionary ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYC#NYSE">IYC</a>) chart shows that the sector topped out in November 2021 and failed to make new highs for nearly three years. The ETF has increased 28% over the last 12 months as CPI receded closer to 2%, but a new wave could stifle the sector, especially in industries like automakers, home builders, travel companies, and luxury apparel brands. If inflation continues moving higher in the next few months, consider reducing exposure to stocks like cruise lines, hotels, and specialty retailers.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)</h2>
Thanks to their strong dividends, REITs are sometimes considered an inflation hedge. However, inflation also tends to increase borrowing costs through higher rates, and debt-laden companies like REITs don't enjoy paying more to finance their activities. When borrowing costs rise, REITs may choose to slow down expansion or stop increasing dividend payouts. High rates can also lock homebuyers out of the market as they wait for better financing options.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="420" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154234/van-1024x420.png" alt="" class="wp-image-791863" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154234/van-1024x420.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154234/van-300x123.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154234/van-768x315.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154234/van.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>) lost 37% between December 2021 and October 2023, showing that REITs aren't immune to hot CPI prints and Fed rate hikes. If inflation stays high, REITs that own high-vacancy properties or are located in stagnant markets would be most at risk of a drawdown.
Commercial REITs are especially at risk as companies often headcount when rates are high, and work-from-home continues to become more standard at large companies (although some are fighting to bring workers back to the office). When researching REITs, avoid companies with high debt levels, a poor property portfolio, and high dividend payout ratios.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Biotechnology</h2>
The biotech sector is always a tumultuous place to invest, and periods of high inflation and uncertainty can exacerbate that fact by several degrees. Biotech innovations are expensive and time-consuming, with results often coming months or years down the road. When investors adopt short-term mindsets, sectors like biotech that require extended periods of testing and trials lose favor.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="420" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154243/pdr-1024x420.png" alt="" class="wp-image-791864" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154243/pdr-1024x420.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154243/pdr-300x123.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154243/pdr-768x315.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154243/pdr.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The biotech sector has yet to recover from the bear market of 2022, and persistent inflation and high rates could spell more trouble for the beleaguered industry. Biotech companies chew up capital like dogs on a steak, requiring extensive upfront investment in research and development.
Many early-stage biotechs have no revenue and rely solely on debt to stay afloat. When the cost of supplies and financing rises, these companies often need to sell more stock than they'd prefer, which dilutes existing shareholders. Coupled with the fact that investors seek to reduce risk in uncertain periods, the biotech sector looks dicey to start 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industrials</h2>
Like biotech, the industrial sector has two significant headwinds working against it when inflation is high: long timeframes and capital-intensive projects. Industrial companies build homes, produce heavy equipment, or transport valuable raw goods, all requiring lots of pre-planning and capital.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="420" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154252/spdr-ser-1024x420.png" alt="" class="wp-image-791865" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154252/spdr-ser-1024x420.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154252/spdr-ser-300x123.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154252/spdr-ser-768x315.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154252/spdr-ser.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The SDPR Sector Select Industrial Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) has enjoyed a nice rebound after trading in a tight range throughout 2022 and 2023. However, if inflation also rebounds, companies in this sector will be forced to pay higher capital costs and may have to put projects on hold. The industrial sector is highly cyclical, and slowdowns often trickle into other market sectors.
Additionally, industrial companies employ large workforces and often have weaker pricing power than sectors less reliant on operational capital. As mentioned above, expensive and time-consuming is a bad combination when inflation or interest rates are high.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Utilities</h2>
Utilities are supposed to be a safe sector during market drawdowns – typically. They are a safe haven during bear markets because of their low volatility and reliable dividends. But your typical market drawdown doesn't involve high rates and CPI over 3%, and utilities aren't always the safest hideout in those conditions. The performance of the SDPR Sector Select Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) below shows that bear markets aren't always a boon to the sector.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="420" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154259/spdr-util-1024x420.png" alt="" class="wp-image-791866" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154259/spdr-util-1024x420.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154259/spdr-util-300x123.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154259/spdr-util-768x315.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20154259/spdr-util.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The appeal of utilities comes not from capital appreciation but from the quarterly dividends. Income through dividends creates a bond-like instrument for many investors, who pair utilities with riskier stocks like tech stocks to have both growth and income assets. However, if inflation rises, rates follow, and high rates will make actual bonds like US Treasuries and corporate debt more appealing.
Suppose investors can get a similar yield from a US Treasury bill as a utility stock. In that case, they'll naturally lean toward the Treasury bill, which locks in a coupon payment and guarantees a return of capital once the term ends. Additionally, utilities are debt-laden and subject to heavy regulatory scrutiny. Regulatory lag could hurt these companies&#8217; bottom lines as price increases often must be approved by law.

5 Sectors to Avoid as Inflation Returns

Glencore (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLCNF#OTC">GLCNF</a>) and Rio Tinto (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>), two leading mining companies, are discussing their listings with the London Stock Exchange, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">albeit for different reasons</a>. 
Swiss-based Glencore is exploring the possibility of moving to the New York Stock Exchange.
&#8220;We want to ensure that our securities are traded on the right exchange, where we can get the right and optimal valuation. If there's a better one, and those include the likes of the New York Stock Exchange, we have to consider that,&#8221; CEO Gary Nagle <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/feb/19/glencore-ditch-london-stock-exchange-new-york">said</a> for The Guardian.
Glencore has been on the LSE since its record-breaking $10 billion initial public offering in 2011. Today, the miner belongs to one of the 20 most valuable listings, with a market capitalization of £40 billion ($50 billion).
However, its <a href="https://www.glencore.com/media-and-insights/news/preliminary-results-2024">latest financial result</a> might catalyze a change. It reported a $1.6 billion net loss for 2024, in contrast to the previous year's $4.3 billion profit, as asset impairments weighted it down. 
Zinc and copper smelting assets suffered a $1.5 billion writedown, while South African coal operation value dropped by $600 million. Adjusted EBITDA declined 16% to $14.4 billion, reflecting a weaker commodity environment. While Glencore had previously considered spinning off its coal business in New York, the company ultimately decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/08/40216672/glencore-votes-against-spinning-off-coal-remains-open-to-more-acquisitions">retain the assets</a>, recognizing the demand for fossil fuels in certain markets.
Glencore's potential departure would be yet another significant blow to the LSE, which has lost around 30% of listed companies since 2015. In 2024 alone, LSE saw 88 companies delist or relocate, marking the largest exodus in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/25/01/43314653/uk-faces-triple-threat-as-economic-uncertainty-hits">over a decade</a>.
Better valuations and favorable financial conditions are offered abroad—particularly in the U.S., which boasts deeper capital pools and no 0.5% stamp duty on share sales.
Meanwhile, Rio Tinto faces pressure to reconsider its London listing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42334888/rio-tinto-ceo-defends-london-listing-outlines-future-growth-plans">abandon a dual listing structure</a>. Activist investor Palliser Capital recently pushed for the company to consolidate its shares in Australia, arguing that such a move would improve liquidity and potentially boost its market valuation. The global multi-strategy fund claimed that the dual listing has destroyed $50 billion in value and hampered mergers and acquisitions.
However, CEO Jakob Stausholm favors the current structure.
&#8220;We are a global company, we have global investors, and London kind of works for us. I just don&#8217;t believe that you&#8217;re going to change fundamentally your value by swapping exchange,&#8221; he said <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/rio-tinto-reports-smallest-full-year-profit-five-years-2025-02-19/">for</a> Reuters.
Rio Tinto reported its weakest full-year earnings in five years, with underlying earnings falling to $10.87 billion from $11.76 billion in the previous year. While the company remains heavily reliant on iron ore, its expansion into copper and aluminum has helped offset some of the weaker Chinese steel demand.
iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWU#NYSE">EWU</a>) is up 7.88% year-to-date.
iShares MSCI Global Metals &amp; Mining Producers ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PICK#BATS">PICK</a>), which contains both Glencore and Rio Tinto, is up 7.55% year-to-date.

<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?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 Thermo Fisher Scientific 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 Thermo Fisher Scientific'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Thermo Fisher Scientific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.56%, 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?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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>Comparing IonQ'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, IonQ's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.35%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

OKTA

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Okta

Imagine sitting on a beach, the waves gently lapping at the shore as you sip on a drink with a tiny umbrella. That's the $2 million retirement dream—financial freedom to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">enjoy your golden years in style</a>. But how many people actually reach that goal?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spoiler Alert: It's a Tiny Fraction</h2>
The dream of retiring with $2 million is just that for most—a dream. According to Federal Reserve, only about 3.2% of retirees have over $1 million saved. And if you're aiming for the $2 million club? Well, the number is even smaller. We're talking about a sliver of a sliver—somewhere between that 3.2% and the razor-thin 0.1% who have $5 million or more.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does $2 Million Stack Up Against Average Savings?</h2>
For most Americans, $2 million is far out of reach. According to the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">2022 Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances</a>, the latest available data, the average retirement savings for different age groups shows just how few people come close to that milestone:
<ul>
<li>Under 35: $49,130</li>
<li>35 to 44: $141,520</li>
<li>45 to 54: $313,220</li>
<li>55 to 64: $537,560</li>
<li>65 to 74: $609,230</li>
<li>75 and older: $462,410</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Do You Need to Save Monthly to Hit $2 Million?</h2>
If you're aiming for $2 million by age 72, how much do you actually need to save every month? The earlier you start, the easier it is.
Starting at 25, you'd need to save about $490 per month assuming a 7% annual return (the historical average of the S&amp;P 500).
Waiting until 30, that number jumps to $700 per month.
Starting at 35, you're looking at $1,008 per month.
By 40, you'd need to put away around $1,465 per month.
At 45, the number climbs to $2,169 per month—which is where many people start feeling the pressure.
The later you wait, the harder it gets. This is why early investing is key.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Sets the $2 Million Achievers Apart?</h2>
<ol>
<li>Early Start – Time is your best friend when it comes to retirement savings. The earlier you begin, the less you have to save each month to hit your goal.</li>
<li>Consistency – Regular contributions, even when the market is down, matter. Sticking to a long-term savings plan is key.</li>
<li>Professional Guidance – Many high-net-worth retirees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consult financial advisors</a> to optimize their investments, reduce tax burdens, and ensure their money lasts. Working with a certified financial planner can help you develop a strategy tailored to your goals.</li>
<li>Smart Investing – Long-term investments in stocks, index funds, and ETFs historically outperform savings accounts. Those who reach $2 million put their money to work.</li>
<li>Higher Income, Higher Savings – The top 10% of households have an average of $769,000 saved for retirement. Earning more makes hitting $2 million more achievable.</li>
<li>Education Matters – College graduates tend to have more than three times the retirement savings of those with just a high school diploma. Higher income potential leads to greater savings.</li>
<li>Homeownership Helps – Homeownership plays a major role in retirement readiness and overall financial security, and the numbers prove it. According to USA Today, the median net worth of renters is just $10,400, while homeowners have a median net worth of $400,000—a staggering 3,746% more.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is $2 Million Even Enough?</h2>
Here's the real question—if you hit $2 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43769106/2-million-is-pennies-suze-orman-says-if-you-think-youll-be-able-to-survive-on-80000-a-year-in-retirement-ive-got-a-bridge-to-sell-you">will it be enough</a>? That depends on where you live, your expenses, healthcare costs, and lifestyle. For some, it might be more than enough. For others, it could just scratch the surface.
One thing is clear: getting to $2 million puts you in an elite group of retirees. Whether it's enough? That's up to you. But waiting to start saving only makes it harder—so the sooner you start, the better your chances.

Alibaba, Hasbro, Shake Shack, Bausch Health And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is targeting Walt Disney Company's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) proposed tie-up with FuboTV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUBO#NYSE">FUBO</a>) that could change <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">the streaming sector.</a>
What Happened: In a letter to the Department of Justice, Warren asks for close scrutiny<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42816545/fubotv-and-disney-near-merger-to-create-second-largest-digital-tv-provider-shares-soar-report"> on the deal </a>due to antitrust concerns and fear that consumers will end up paying more for sports streaming content in the long run.
"This proposed acquisition raises significant concerns under antitrust law, would give Disney increased market power and incentives to increase costs for viewers, and should be regarded as another data point in Disney's history of anticompetitive behavior," Warren said in the letter.
Warren highlighted that Disney's deal with Fubo resolves a previous lawsuit Fubo filed against Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery over a joint venture called Venu Sports. Warren previously wrote the DOJ on Venu Sports.
"Disney's proposed acquisition of Fubo appears to allow Disney to simultaneously circumvent the lawsuit while gobbling up a competitor."
Warren said Disney is attempting to "purchase its way around antitrust law."
With the tie-up with Fubo, Disney would dominate the sports streaming market, Warren said.
The Senator said Disney's acquisition will decrease competition and could violate antitrust law.
"Disney has proposed a plan to acquire its competitor, and, in the process become an even more powerful force in an already highly-concentrated market."
Warren said Disney has long forced companies to carry less desirable content in order to get access to the highly coveted ESPN sports network. This practice has led to consumers paying more for streaming and cable content.

Why It's Important: Warren's letter comes after Disney previously announced it would merge Hulu + Live TV with Fubo and own 70% of the combined company. The deal also ended the pending launch of Venu Sports and saw Fubo and Disney end litigation.
News of Warren's letter to the DOJ comes as a judge declined to dismiss a lawsuit against Disney by investors, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The investor lawsuit centers on past claims made by former Disney CEO Bob Chapek about the Disney+ streaming platform. Chapek allegedly hid streaming costs and overstated the ability for the unit to grow subscribers and become profitable.
Among the items in the lawsuit, filed in 2023, is Disney&#8217;s plan to grow its Disney+ subscriber total to 230 million by 2024. The company's total stood at 124.6 million Disney+ core subscribers as of December 2024.
The lawsuit also targets Disney's reorganization plans and changes to its original content and the shortened theatrical window for movies to hit streaming platforms.
Bob Iger replaced Chapek as CEO in November 2022. Iger cut streaming content spending and withdrew subscriber guidance when he took over.
The class action lawsuit targets the period of December 2020 to May 2023 when Disney stock dropped by around 55%.  
With news of the case moving forward, along with Warren's letter to the Department of Justice, Disney may see negative headlines in the coming months.
Price Action: Disney stock is down 1.3% to $109.87 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $83.91 to $123.74. Disney stock is up 0.4% over the last year.
Fubo stock is down 1.8% to $3.79 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $1.10 to $6.45. Fubo stock is up 90% over the last year.
