GameStop shares are trading higher. Retail trader 'Roaring Kitty' posted a picture of a Christmas present on X.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could ride the artificial intelligence boom, with its crown jewel iPhone expected to witness a "multi-year" upgrade cycle, according to an analyst.
What Happened: Tech bull and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives believes that Apple's iPhone sales could witness a boost thanks to AI.
"Raising price target on Apple to $325 as a golden era of growth for Cupertino is now on the horizon into 2025," said Ives in a post on X.
Apple stock closed at $258.20 on Tuesday, up 1.2% for the day. Year-to-date, Apple shares have gained 39%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Ives&#8217; $325 price target implies a 26% upside.

While Apple has been a little late to the AI game, having been beaten by its rivals Alphabet Inc.'s Google, and Samsung Electronics Co.

The firm announced a significant financing deal, entering into a securities purchase agreement with Lynx1 Capital Management LP and an investment fund advised by Lynx1.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42657620/amd-and-micron-top-analyst-picks-for-ai-and-next-gen-tech-growth">shares</a> have underperformed Nasdaq 100 despite gaining AI market share this year. Should you buy or sell the stock as its technical analysis indicates a downtrend? Here&#8217;s what analysts are saying about the stock. 
What Happened: The technical analysis of daily moving averages indicates a bearish trend.
The stock ended at $126.29 apiece on Tuesday. This was above its eight-day simple moving average of $123.48. However, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its current stock price was lower than the 20-day moving average of $130.77, 50-day moving average of $140.38 and its 200-day moving average of $154.50.
This implies that the stock is in a downtrend. On the other hand, the relative strength index of 40.31 suggests the stock&#8217;s movement is neutral and it is not yet in an overbought or an oversold zone.

Why It Matters: AMD&#8217;s 2024 was mixed. New GPUs drove strong data center growth, gaining share against Nvidia&#8217;s H100 due to availability and pricing advantages. However, gaming and embedded segments decelerated, impacting overall growth.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">Benzinga</a>, AMD has a consensus &#8216;buy&#8217; with a price target of $195.07 based on the ratings of 30 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">tracked </a>by Benzinga is $265 issued by Melius Research with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating on March 8. According to the analysts at Melius, AMD is mirroring Nvidia Corporation&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) past success. This is despite a recent price target increase, expected by market observers. While AMD&#8217;s growth is significant, it&#8217;s not seen as threatening Nvidia&#8217;s dominance. Nvidia&#8217;s broader ecosystem and market expansion benefit AMD by creating a larger market for high-performance AI chips.
AMD is one of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42657620/amd-and-micron-top-analyst-picks-for-ai-and-next-gen-tech-growth">Rosenblatt</a>'s top picks for the first half of 2025 on momentum in CPU and GPU share gains into 2025 and a broader non-AI recovery exiting 2025. The difference entering 2025 is that the Street acknowledges this dynamic, which has legs for double-digit market share in GPU compute and AI inference at the edge, being a secular opportunity on Xilinx incumbency and chiplet prowess.
The lowest target price was a downgrade from &#8216;buy&#8217; to &#8216;neutral&#8217; from BofA Securities. It was adjusted to $155 from $180 per share on Dec. 9. It predicts AMD will hold a small 4% of the $200 billion AI accelerator market in 2025, significantly trailing Nvidia&#8217;s dominant 80%+ share. This, coupled with potential PC processor market weakness in the first half of 2025, raises concerns for AMD&#8217;s future performance.
The average price target of $164.33 between Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, and Mizuho implies a 30.81% upside for Nvidia.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="943" height="361" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR-.png" alt="" class="wp-image-707495" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR-.png 943w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR--300x115.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26071348/AMD-ANR--768x294.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px" /></a></figure>
Price Action: Shares of AMD were down 0.24% at $125.99 per share in premarket on Thursday. The stock was down 8.87% this year underperforming the Nasdaq 100, which rose by 31.76% this year.

Should You Buy or Sell This Nvidia Rival? Analysts Weigh In As Technicals Signal A Downtrend

Welltower's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WELL#NYSE">WELL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.09 million shares sold short, which is 2.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.9 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>Welltower Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>

<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.

(GKOS) - Analyzing Glaukos's Short Interest

According to a report issued by Realtor.com, counties switching their presidential votes from Biden to Trump in 2024 might see accelerated home price growth over the next four years.
The report, drawn from a study by the Journal of Real Estate Research, examined home prices and presidential election results across six elections from 2000 to 2020. Data showed that flipping to successful nonincumbent candidates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41747603/30-less-than-blue-swing-state-home-prices-align-with-red-states-says-realtor-com">outperformed other markets in home value appreciation</a>.
Realtor identified 84 counties nationwide that shifted from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024, ranging from Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade County to Montana&#8217;s Blaine County along the Canadian border.

</ul>
&#8220;These counties you identified could potentially experience superior housing performance following the election,&#8221; lead author Eren Cifci, assistant professor of finance at Austin Peay State University, told Realtor.com.
The pattern held regardless of political party. Areas supporting whichever nonincumbent candidate won the White House showed stronger price performance in subsequent years.
Federal spending often follows electoral shifts. &#8220;The rival party may recognize the critical role these counties played in securing their victory. Consequently, they might invest in these areas and work to improve living conditions to maintain voter support in future elections,&#8221; Cifci said.
Local engagement also drives growth. Communities voting for change often see increased civic participation, volunteerism and economic activity, which lift property values.

The research found no notable price impacts in counties flipping to incumbent winners or losing candidates. Cifci emphasized the findings indicate potential trends rather than guarantees.
Current market conditions vary widely among the 84 counties. Georgia&#8217;s Baldwin County saw November median list prices rise 53% year-over-year to $356,250, while Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade County dropped 9.2% to $634,000.
The study primarily focused on how home prices, rather than the reverse, influence elections. Counties with strong price appreciation supported incumbents, while underperforming markets favored challengers.
&#8220;People feel more financially wealthy if they have a lot of housing equity,&#8221; said co-author Alan Tidwell, associate professor at the University of Alabama. &#8220;How financially wealthy they feel really impacts their sense of financial and economic well-being.&#8221;

California&#8217;s Inyo County rose 4.9% to $562,450, while Montana&#8217;s Blaine County fell 43.79% to $120,000. Texas markets showed similar disparity – Culberson County jumped 75.71% to $264,450 as Hidalgo County declined 3.55% to $270,000.
The study tracked 84 counties across 27 states. Florida and Texas led with the most flipped counties at six and 10 respectively. California followed with seven counties switching their presidential preference.
Historical data suggests infrastructure spending increases often follow changes in voting patterns. Past election cycles saw upticks in road improvements, federal construction projects and housing development in areas that helped secure presidential victories.
Market analysts note the findings align with broader economic patterns linking political shifts to regional development. However, local market conditions, employment rates and population growth remain primary drivers of home values.
