<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>Comparing Lakeland Financial'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>, Lakeland Financial's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.23%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hban#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.28 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.35 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 7.14%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this regional bank holding company would post earnings of $0.25 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.28, delivering a surprise of 12%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Huntington Bancshares, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Midwest industry, posted revenues of $1.82 billion for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.13%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.85 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Huntington Bancshares shares have added about 12.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 16.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Huntington Bancshares?
While Huntington Bancshares has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Huntington Bancshares: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.30 on $1.86 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.17 on $7.35 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Midwest is currently in the top 39% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Lakeland Financial (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lkfn#NASDAQ">LKFN</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024. The results are expected to be released on July 25.
This holding company for Lake City Bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.85 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +49.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Lakeland Financial&#39;s revenues are expected to be $59.2 million, down 1.4% from the year-ago quarter.
