The company recently reported that it has <strong>22.92 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 1.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With Citigroup

<p>The White House has accused RealPage, the rental price-setting algorithmic software widely used by landlords and managers, of adding an extra $3.8 billion to tenants&#8217; rents last year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The White House had long accused the software company of tilting the scales in favor of landlords and property managers when setting rent prices, unfairly forcing renters to pay ever-increasing rents. In August, the government&#8217;s accusations resulted in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39388206/fbi-searches-headquarters-of-one-of-americas-largest-landlords-in-criminal-antitrust-investigation">antitrust suit</a> against the company, alleging the company&#8217;s pricing algorithm allowed landlords to keep increasing rental prices.</p>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Justice Department Drops Its Lawsuit Against RealPage</h2>
<p>However, with the change in administration, the DOJ recently dropped its lawsuit. RealPage says that vindicates them. However, the recent finding is the DOJ's attempt to prove that its suit had merit. Needless to say, RealPage disputes their findings.</p>
<p>&#8220;Their conclusions are based on the erroneous assumption that all property managers are setting coordinated rents, but that is not how RealPage&#8217;s revenue management software (RMS) works,&#8221; the software company said.</p>
<p>According to Axios, the government researcher&#8217;s methodology was to use RealPage&#8217;s software to set prices. They matched this against individual price settings without the software. They found that an algorithm-set rental building charges an average of $70 more per month, increasing in large built-up areas where RealPage software is most prevalent. In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/41000406/five-emerging-tech-cities-where-home-values-are-surging-alongside-innovation">Atlanta</a>, for example, where 68% of landlords use RealPage&#8217;s software, renters pay an average of $181 extra per month, according to the governmental analysis.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>See Also: During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes"><strong> </strong><strong>high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RealPage&#8217;s Contribution To The Housing Crisis</h2>
<p>According to The New York Times, the government&#8217;s lawsuit came after eight states filed suit against the software company and class-action lawyers filed complaints against the platform. According to the lawsuits, landlords in cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix, Seattle and Washington, D.C. used RealPage software to prioritize higher rents and accept lower occupancy rates, boosting overall profits and exacerbating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42316898/4-million-homes-short-what-scott-turners-hud-leadership-could-mean-for-affordable-housing">housing crisis</a>.</p>
<p>RealPage would argue that the market itself is to blame for the increasing rents, that the lack of inventory and demand for housing has caused rents to increase naturally and that it simply reflects the conditions. Others, however, such as The Harvard Business Review, argue that there are limits to a &#8220;trust the market&#8221; approach to housing policy and that greater governmental involvement is needed to curtail the housing crisis and to stop landlords from gauging tenants using RealPage software to help them do it. The HBR article reveals that RealPage&#8217;s property manager partners may control as many as 19.7 million rental units out of 22 million desirable, &#8220;investment grade&#8221; apartment units in the country and that the software company worked with landlords in practically every major city in the nation.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cities Ban RealPage Regardless Of The DOJ Case</h2>
<p>Even though the DOJ has dropped its lawsuit against RealPage, many cities have already clamped down against the company. The Wall Street Journal reported that San Francisco and Philadelphia passed laws recently to restrict the use of algorithmic rent-pricing systems at residential properties. Legislators in San Diego, New Jersey and other cities and states are considering new laws.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are living in a time where we&#8217;re not waiting for AI and algorithms to get here. They&#8217;re here,&#8221; said Nicolas O&#8217;Rourke, a city councilman in Philadelphia.

<p><strong>Nio Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), the Chinese EV maker, has been making headlines — but not for the right reasons. The stock just flashed a technical <strong>Death Cross</strong>, a bearish indicator where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. Let's discuss whether there's hope for a bullish reversal.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent122724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="810" height="550" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-709161" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross.jpg 810w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross-300x204.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross-768x521.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px" /></a></figure></p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nio Stock Chart: Death Cross In Motion</strong></h1>
<p>Nio's stock, at $4.69, is lagging behind its 50-day moving average of $4.83 and 200-day average of $4.83 as well. Other indicators, like a negative MACD and a middling RSI of 51.05, suggest the market hasn't decided whether to stay bearish or gamble on a rebound.</p>
<p>Adding to the uncertainty, Nio's performance has been mixed. Nio stock is down 44% YTD, despite a modest 7% gain in the past month. A stagnating price trend coupled with slight selling pressure is fueling skepticism among technical analysts.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Onvo L60: A Tesla Challenger?</strong></h1>
<p>Amid the market gloom, Nio's product cycle offers a glimmer of hope. The company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42697306/onvo-sells-20000-evs-in-100-days-of-launch-gearing-to-be-nios-best-selling-brand"> Onvo L60 SUV</a>, a sleek competitor to Tesla's Model Y, is garnering attention for its 900-volt EV platform and competitive pricing. </p>
<p>In the third week of December, Nio's insurance registrations rose 23%, supported by 2,090 Onvo L60 units.</p>
<p>CEO <strong>William Li </strong>remains bullish, forecasting a strong product cycle starting in 2025. "We've started monetizing investments in new technologies and vehicle lineups," Li <a href="https://technode.com/2024/12/24/nio-ceo-says-company-prepared-for-market-upheaval-in-2025/">said</a> during Nio Day, adding that innovation will drive future growth.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>China's EV Race: Tough Competition</strong></h1>
<p>The Chinese EV market remains fiercely competitive. While Nio <a href="https://carnewschina.com/2024/12/24/china-ev-registrations-in-w51-nio-5400-xiaomi-6000-tesla-17600-byd-87700/#google_vignette">registered</a> 5,400 vehicles in the third week of December, it trailed <strong>Xiaomi</strong>, <strong>Tesla Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and <strong>BYD Co</strong> (OTCPK: BYDDF), which reported 6,000, 17,600, and 87,700 registrations, respectively.</p>
<p>The challenge? Nio needs more than a competitive SUV to outpace its rivals. Tesla and BYD dominate with scale and brand power, leaving Nio to carve a niche in affordability and innovation.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Is A Bullish Reversal In Sight?</strong></h1>
<p>Nio's Death Cross is a warning, but its innovative product lineup and CEO optimism could signal potential for a bullish reversal. </p>
<p>The stock may remain volatile in the short term, but for risk-tolerant investors, 2025's product cycle could be worth the wait. Bullish or bearish? This EV underdog isn't out of the race just yet.</p>
