Insights From Analysts
&#8220;This is still a bull market and this seasonal weakness doesn't have us overly concerned yet,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Group in his note titled &#8216;That Escalated Quickly&#8217;.
He also highlighted a list of reasons substantiating the reasons for stocks to be back at new highs.
<ul>
<li>Strong earnings, revenue, and profit margins.</li>
<li>Market resilience amidst widespread concerns.</li>
<li>A relatively young bull market with potential for further growth. A robust labor market with healthy wages.</li>
<li>Anticipated inflation improvement and potential Fed rate cuts.</li>
<li>Strong U.S. productivity driving economic growth.</li>
<li>Broadening market participation beyond just tech stocks.</li>
</ul>
Similarly, the analysts at BlackRock said, &#8220;We still think U.S. equities can outperform in 2025, led by tech, even as Europe's start the year strong.&#8221;
However, they said that they would broaden the risk-on view, upgrading Europe stocks.
BlackRock&#8217;s note highlighted that the U.S. could still reclaim leadership this year and that is why they were overweight U.S. stocks. The corporate earnings strength and the artificial intelligence theme aided their belief. But the note stated, &#8220;We turn more underweight long-term U.S. Treasuries&#8221;
As Nvidia was trading 0.82% higher in premarket on Thursday after good earnings on Wednesday, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer said that this was &#8220;a sign that no one knows how to value amazing earnings&#8221;.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The tight trading in Nvidia is more of a sign that no one knows how to value amazing earnings than it is that there is something wrong.

Shares of companies within the broader consumer staples sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

JM Smucker's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.63% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.91 million shares sold short, which is 4.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.27 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>JM Smucker Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733927411_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for JM Smucker has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing JM Smucker'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>, JM Smucker's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.96%, 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>
