Quarterly sales of $306.89 million missed<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42107205/shoe-carnival-reports-third-quarter-fiscal-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the analyst consensus estimate of $316.95 million.</a>
Quarterly sales reflected the impact of the retail calendar shift that resulted in approximately $20 million of net sales moving out of the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year.
Without the impact of the retail calendar shift, net sales increased by 2.2% versus the prior year.
&#8220;Our flexible digital-first marketing campaign and great brand assortment drove demand during this peak shopping period and profitability in line with expectations for the third quarter,&#8221; said Mark Worden, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Comparable store net sales dropped 4.1% for the quarter, impacted by two hurricanes disrupting operations and warm weather delaying winter boot sales.

Gross profit margin for the quarter was 36.0%, marking the 15th consecutive quarter above 35%, but was 80 basis points lower than last year.
The company continues to expect Rogan&#8217;s acquisition to deliver net sales of over $80 million in fiscal 2024, with $22.3 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2024 and $63.9 million year-to-date in 2024.
As of November 21, the company operated 431 stores, with 361 Shoe Carnival stores, 42 Shoe Station stores and the 28 Rogan&#8217;s locations. One new Shoe Station store opened in third quarter was in Tennessee, expanding this banner into a new market.
At the end of third quarter, the company had approximately $91.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Outlook: Shoe Carnival lowered its FY24 net sales outlook to $1.20 billion &#8211; $1.23 billion (estimate: $1.23 billion), down from the previously expected $1.23 billion &#8211; $1.25 billion, but maintains adjusted EPS guidance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">$2.60 &#8211; $2.75 (estimate: $2.63).</a>

Where Trade Desk Stands With Analysts

American Finl Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFG#NYSE">AFG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.14% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 893 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.24% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.13 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>Comparing American Finl Gr'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>, American Finl Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.74%, 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>

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, "for crimes against humanity and war crimes" in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/24/11/41757546/israels-netanyahu-fires-defense-minister-gallant-over-lack-of-trust-in-war-management-oi">ongoing war in Gaza</a>.
Netanyahu and Gallant intentionally deprived civilians in Gaza of food, water and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, and used starvation as a method of warfare, the International Criminal Court alleges. 
The arrest warrants also allege both men deprived civilians in Gaza of fundamental rights, including the rights to life and health, and intentionally directed attacks against the civilian population of Gaza. The ICC&#8217;s Pre-trial Chamber I also found Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for other inhumane acts. 
Israeli President Isaac Herzog called the arrest warrants a &#8220;dark day for justice&#8221; in a post on X, adding that the warrants are a &#8220;mockery&#8221; of those who fight for justice and &#8220;ignore the plight of the 101 Israeli hostages held in brutal captivity by Hamas in Gaza.&#8221; 
Herzog concluded: &#8220;This cynical exploitation of the international legal institutions reminds us once again of the need for true moral clarity in the face of an Iranian empire of evil that seeks to destabilize our region and the world, and destroy the very institutions of the free world.&#8221;
The court&#8217;s 124 member states would be obligated to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they entered those states, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0b62f17a-97db-4817-90f8-f98adead79f0">said</a> in a report, adding that the ICC has no means of enforcing this. 
The Details: The court also issued a warrant for Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif. Israeli officials say Deif was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July. Prosecutors said they issued the warrant because they were not able to confirm whether he is dead or alive. 
The ICC rejected Israel's challenge to the court's jurisdiction over "the situation in the State of Palestine" and over Israeli nationals.

The ICC said in a press release that the arrest warrants are classified as secret, but the chamber decided to release the information since the conduct "appears to be ongoing." The chamber also said it considers it in the best interest of the victims to be aware of the issuance of the warrants. 
Other Developments:  U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is in Israel for talks with Israeli officials over a cease-fire in Lebanon. Hochstein left Beirut on Wednesday after two days of meetings with Lebanese officials, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/21/israel-war-news-hamas-gaza-palestine/">according</a> to The Washington Post. 
The United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution put forward Wednesday that called for a cease-fire in Gaza because it was not contingent on the release of hostages still held and it did not condemn Hamas.
At least 44,056 people have been killed in Gaza during the war and 104,268 injured, the Post reported, citing the Gaza Health Ministry. At least 3,558 people have been killed and 15,123 injured in Lebanon, the report said, citing Lebanon&#8217;s health ministry. The organizations do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. 
Israel estimates that approximately 1,200 people were killed in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and says 377 soldiers have been killed in its military operation in Gaza.

Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares declares quarterly distribution of $0.2453

Saturday marks President Donald Trump&#39;s 100th day in office. And while the country remains divided over his actions, it cannot be refuted that U.S. equities have performed well since Trump was sworn in on January 20th. Since Trump took the oath of office two of the most popular large-cap indexes, the S&amp;P 500 and NASDAQ 100, are up about 5.7 percent and 10 percent respectively.
Predictably, some leveraged exchange-traded funds are enjoying their seats on the &ldquo;Trump train.&rdquo; The Direxion Daily S&amp;P 500 Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/SPXL#NYSE">SPXL</a>) has returned about 15 percent since Inauguration Day. As its name implies, SPXL is designed to deliver triple the daily returns of the S&amp;P 500 Index. SPXL has a bearish counterpart, the Direxion Daily S&amp;P 500 Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/SPXS#NYSE">SPXS</a>),which which is down about the same amount over Trump&#39;s first 100 days in office.
While SPXL&#39;s recent performance is undoubtedly compelling, traders should remember that holding leveraged ETFs for weeks or months on end is a dangerous bet because ETFs such as SPXL and SPXS are designed to be intraday instruments, not long-term investments.&nbsp;
While large-cap US. stocks and their related exchange traded funds have been solid performers this year, things aren&#39;t quite the same for the small-caps.
<h3>
	Small-Cap Performance</h3>
Small-caps stocks and ETFs recently regained some lost momentum, ascending to record highs. That has been good news for the Direxion Daily Small-Cap 3X Bull Shares (NSYE: TNA). TNA, one of the most heavily traded leveraged small-cap ETFs, seeks to deliver triple the daily returns of the widely followed Russell 2000 Index.
However, TNA&#39;s bearish counterpart, the Direxion Daily 3X Bear Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TZA#NYSE">TZA</a>), could soon get its turn in the spotlight as small-cap valuations climb to multi-year highs. TZA attempts to deliver triple the daily inverse returns of the Russell 2000.
&ldquo;On forward P/E, small caps and mid-caps currently trade at the 98th percentile of their historical valuation range (since 1979) vs. the 87th percentile for large caps,&rdquo; said Bank of America Merrill Lynch in a note out Friday. &ldquo;Given that small caps now trade at Tech Bubble-like valuations in our view it does not bode well for future long-term returns.&rdquo;
Since January 20 TNA is up 10 percent, while TZA is down 14 percent.&nbsp;
<h3>
	Mid-Cap Performance</h3>
Mid-caps have been decent performers over Trump&#39;s first 100 days in office. For example, the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/MIDU#NYSE">MIDU</a>) is up about 11 percent. MIDU seeks to deliver <a href="http://www.direxioninvestments.com/products/direxion-daily-mid-cap-bull-3x-etf">triple the daily returns</a> of the widely followed S&amp;P MidCap 400 Index (which has had a relatively strong 2017 in line with the rest of the market).
Its bearish counterpart on the other hand, the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/MIDZ#NYSE">MIDZ</a>) is down about 13 percent.&nbsp;
