<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.

In 2023, Chestnut ate 62 hot dogs and buns. But in 2021, he set the world record, having eaten 76. 
Like the competitors today, Chestnut is a big believer in the &#8220;dunk-and-shove&#8221; method. That&#8217;s when the competitors dip the frankfurters and buns into liquid before scarfing them down. 
Chestnut set the world record twice in the prior three contests: In 2018, he imbibed 74 hot dogs and buns, and in 2020, he swallowed 75 hot dogs and buns.
Chestnut signed a controversial sponsorship contract with meatless food company Impossible Foods, which offended Nathan&#8217;s Famous, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NATH#NASDAQ">NATH</a>) and barred him from competing this year. 
Whether he would&#8217;ve retained the title this year against Bertoletti, we&#8217;ll never know.

Polen Emerging Markets Growth Q2 2023 Portfolio Manager Commentary

Raia Drogasil S.A. goes ex dividend tomorrow

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Hugo Ste-Marie and the rest of his portfolio strategists at the Bank of Nova Scotia recently compiled a list of <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/investment-ideas/article-scotiabanks-10-big-market-themes-for-2024-plus-rob-carricks-top-tfsa/">10 major market themes</a> for 2024. One of them was about Latin America stocks.&nbsp;



Ideas included interest rate cuts, GDP expectations, United States savings, bonds, lower-than-expected earnings, large-cap stocks, S&amp;P 500 predictions, the Magnificent 7, and the type of stocks to buy in 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



As for Latin American equities, Ste-Marie expects them to outperform Asian equities in the year ahead, emphasizing that China stocks will underperform due to growth struggles.&nbsp;



I remain a big believer in the Latin American economy and stocks. Further, 2024 will be an excellent year to broaden your horizons beyond America.



Axel Christensen, Director of Investment Strategy for Latin America at BlackRock, believes Brazil stocks have attractive valuations compared to other emerging markets.




&ldquo;The inflation outlook in Brazil is promising, as it has reached the lowest levels in three years, allowing the central bank to start the rate cutting cycle, which will boost economic growth,&rdquo; Christensen <a href="https://www.bloomberglinea.com/english/top-latin-american-countries-to-invest-in-2024-according-to-experts/" target="_blank">told Bloomberg Linea in September</a>.




Here are three Latin America stocks to buy, emphasizing Brazil.&nbsp;



<h2>Itau Unibanco Holding (ITUB)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/itau-unibanco-itub-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for Ita&uacute; Unibanco is seen on a sign."><div>Source: SERGIO V S RANGEL / Shutterstock.com</div></div>


Itau Unibanco Holding (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/itub-stock-quote/">ITUB</a>) got its start <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001132597/000129281423001950/itubform20f_2022.htm#form20f_017" target="_blank">in 1924</a>.



Retailer Jo&atilde;o Moreira Salles, the owner of Casa Moreira Salles, obtained a banking license from the Brazilian government to operate in the banking sector as a correspondent bank (correspondente banc&aacute;rio) for the leading banks in the state of Minas Gerais.&nbsp;



Ultimately, the bank became known as Unibanco. It merged with Itau in 2008, becoming Itau Unibanco Holding. At the time, it was one of the world&rsquo;s 20 largest banks by assets. It continues to grow organically and through acquisitions.&nbsp;



Today, it operates retail banking, private banking, asset management, and corporate and investment banking. It has operations in <a href="https://www.itau.com.br/relacoes-com-investidores/en/itau-unibanco/corporate-profile/">17 countries</a>, including the U.S.



On Dec. 6, the bank <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/itau-unibanco-itub-expands-offering-162700712.html" target="_blank">launched a cryptocurrency</a> trading service for its banking and asset management clients. It initially permits trading for Bitcoin (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/btc:usd/">BTC:USD</a>) and Ethereum (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/eth:usd/">ETH:USD</a>). It will add additional cryptocurrencies as it becomes more comfortable with crypto trading.



As the Brazilian central bank prepares to introduce Drex, the digital version of the real, banks such as Itau Unibanco have been forced to upgrade their tech infrastructure to ensure they can handle the digital currency.&nbsp;



The bank&rsquo;s shares are up more than 45% in 2023. Despite these significant gains, the current price equals its share value in February 2020. They currently trade at <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnys/itub/valuation">7.8 times</a> its forward earnings, <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnys/jpm/valuation">20%</a> less than the forward P/E of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/:jpm-stock-quote/">:JPM</a>).&nbsp;



<h2>Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/pbr_petrobras1600-300x169.png" alt="Petrobras distributor in the industry and supply sector.. PBR stock"><div>Source: rafastockbr / Shutterstock.com</div></div>


Oil prices have been at their lowest level in the past year, under $70 a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wti-stock-quote/">WTI</a>). However, Petroleo Brasileiro (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pbr-stock-quote/">PBR</a>) American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are up nearly 40% over the past 52 weeks. This compares very favorably with Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/xom-stock-quote/">XOM</a>), whose shares are down almost 8% over the same period.&nbsp;



In late November, the company said that it would invest approximately <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/brazils-petrobras-invest-102-billion-next-five-years-2023-11-23/">$102 billion</a> between 2024 and 2028 as part of its strategic plan to grow its business. It was the first five-year plan of new CEO Jean-Paul Prates, who was <a href="https://brazilian.report/liveblog/politics-insider/2023/04/28/petrobras-chairman-prates-ceo/">officially confirmed</a> as CEO in April. It is 31% higher than its five-year plan from 2023 to 2027.



Prates recently said that Brazil <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/brazil-join-opec-wont-cap-oil-output-petrobras-ceo-says-2023-12-01/">would join OPEC+</a> in January but that it would go along with the group&rsquo;s production caps in place.&nbsp;




&ldquo;There is no quota,&rdquo; Reuters reported Prates&rsquo; comments. &ldquo;We would never be part of an organization that imposes (production) quotas to Brazil, Petrobras is a publicly-traded company and we cannot have quotas.&rdquo;




Of the <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/pbr/analystestimates">15 analysts</a> covering its stock, 10 rate it &ldquo;Overweight&rdquo; or an outright &ldquo;Buy,&rdquo; with a target price of $17.07, 18% higher than where it&rsquo;s currently trading.&nbsp;&nbsp;



<h2>Raia Drogasil (RADLY)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pharmaceutical1600-300x169.png" alt="pharmaceutical industry. Production line machine conveyor with glass bottles ampoules at factory"><div>Source: Dmitry Kalinovsky / Shutterstock.com</div></div>


Raia Drogasil (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/radly-stock-quote/">RADLY</a>) is the largest drug-store chain in Brazil with <a href="https://ir.rd.com.br/listresultados.aspx?idCanal=2nlFyAThvxbpyfXPHKc5zw==&amp;linguagem=en">2,868 stores</a> [Q3 2023 presentation link], generating 2022 revenue of <a href="https://ir.rd.com.br/show.aspx?idCanal=6aULUwMyMFpYyWDTxjQNnQ==&amp;linguagem=en">30.9 billion</a> Brazilian real ($6.23 billion). The company was created through the November 2011 merger between Droga Raia and Drogasil. Their histories date back to 1905 and 1935, respectively.&nbsp;



Despite its size, the company controls just 15.1% of the market share in Brazil. This means there is a long-term opportunity to make a consolidation play over the next decade. This provides the rationale for its investment.



In the third quarter, the chain&rsquo;s revenues increased by 16.3% over Q3 2022, to 9.3 billion Brazilian real ($1.87 billion), with digital revenues accounting for 14% of revenue, up 51.4%. On the bottom line, its adjusted net income was 268.4 million Brazilian real ($54.1 million), 33% higher year-over-year.&nbsp;



Its highest market share by region is Sao Paulo, at 27.4%, almost double the market share for the entire country.&nbsp;
