<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.

ELAN

(ELAN) - Analyzing Elanco Animal Health's Short Interest

- UBS Conference "I think Q1's expectations are too high. You know, when we analyze their — either the sequential here — sequentials between Q4 and Q1, the expectation from investors and analysts is that, you know, this would be pretty flat, and it cannot be flat. I mean, there were at least two reasons why Q1 should be sequentially down from Q4. One is we have one less day, right? Last year was a leap year. So, for us, that translates into about 1 percentage point of growth."

Since its IPO in January, shares of Flowco Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLOC#NYSE">FLOC</a>) are trading lower by almost 3%.
Here are some key analyst takeaways from their respective initiation notes.
JPMorgan On Flowco
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59b8033d15737d000128a73d/arun-jayaram">Analyst Arun Jayaram</a> initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and price target of $32.
Flowco is a "pure-play artificial lift company focused on U.S. shale," and is the industry leader in high pressure gas lift (HPGL) systems, Jayaram said in a note. The demand for the company's vapor recovery units (VRUs) is also tied to the "oil and gas industry&#8217;s production optimization needs," he added.
According to research and consulting firm Rystad's estimates, the HPGL market could nearly double to $2.3 billion by 2030, while the VRU TAM (total addressable market) could grow by around 40% to $9.6 billion during this time, the analyst stated. Flowco has a strong balance sheet which allows it to invest in strategic initiatives, drive inorganic growth or "capitalize in the event of a dislocation in the markets," he further wrote.

BMO Capital Markets On Flowco
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59493ca470ed7a0001097207/phillip-jungwirth">Analyst Phillip Jungwirth</a> began coverage with an Outperform rating and price target of $33.
Flowco is likely to grow revenues by 14% to $837 million in 2025 and by 14% to $950 million in 2026, accelerating from 10% in 2024, Jungwirth said in a note. Growth is likely to be "weighted towards continued HPGL market penetration," he added.
The company generates industry-leading EBITDA margins and delivers "attractive corporate returns," the analyst stated. "We expect strong top-line growth, along with positive segment (Product Solutions) and product (HPGL) mix to drive continued margin expansion," he further wrote.
Piper Sandler On Flowco
Analyst Derek Podhaizer initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and price target of $34.
"Flowco&#8217;s unique story within the production phase of the well lifecycle appears to resonate with investors, giving the market a way to invest in the E&amp;P opex theme vs. the capex cycle," Podhaizer said. The company fills the void left by ChampionX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHX#NASDAQ">CHX</a>) after it was acquired by Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) last year, he added.
While peers are expecting 2025 to be a down year and 2026 to be a year of uncertainties, Flowco has projected double-digit revenue growth in both years, the analyst stated.
FLOC Price Action: Shares of Flowco had declined by 0.24% to $28.58 at the time of publication on Monday.
