<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?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

While the company has Kentucky in its name, its not the first brand to be headquartered in a different state.
What Happened: Kentucky Fried Chicken, which was founded by Harland Sanders (aka Colonel Sanders) in the 1930s, will soon call Texas home. It joins several other companies moving their headquarters to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804744/spacex-x-to-move-headquarters-from-california-to-texas-musk-calls-it-the-final-straw-criticizes-gov"> the southern state.</a>
Yum Brands announced the move in February. The company will have two brand headquarters in the U.S., one located in Plano, Texas, and the other in Irvine, California.
Kentucky Fried Chicken U.S. and Pizza Hut global headquarters will be located in Plano, Texas. KFC US is currently headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. KFC US corporate office employees in Kentucky and remote workers are being asked to move to Texas.
Taco Bell and Habit Burger &amp; Grill will be headquartered in Irvine, California. The KFC Foundation and Yum Brands corporate offices will remain in Louisville, Kentucky as part of the transition.
"These changes position us for sustainable growth and will help us better serve our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders," Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs <a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/news/!ut/p/z1/jY9BC4JAFIR_SwevvmeiLt1ECFPJ9iDaXkJjWw11RTf9-0l1EUp6t3l8M8MAgwxYm4-VyFUl27ye9ZnZF0LDrY8xHkniWUi3RniI9o6BiQHpC8Af5yKwf_wrAFuPT4EtK2IS20g9z_QD6pjkZH-AlYwAmKhl8Z7rtoVJBLCe33jPe_3Rz-9SqW7YaajhNE26kFLUXL_KRsNvllIOCrIlCV2TZHi36jFyN0_Y713h/?urile=wcm:oid:54d63edb-2d60-4482-9134-ba1e69af9aac">said</a>. "Ultimately, bringing more of our people together on a consistent basis will maximize our unrivaled culture and talent as a competitive advantage. I'm confident this is another important step in growing our iconic restaurant brands globally."
Yum Brands has over 61,000 restaurants around the world in more than 155 countries with its various brands. The company has over 30,000 KFC locations in 150 countries, including 4,149 <a href="https://locations.kfc.com/">locations </a>in the United States.
The restaurant brand has 114 locations in Kentucky, which ranks 11th of the states. With 324 locations, Texas ranks second for KFC trailing only California (438).
Sanders <a href="https://global.kfc.com/our-history">ran </a>service stations in Nicholasville and Corbin, Kentucky and served his fried chicken to &nbsp;travelers using his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The Corbin location is the company's original and in 1952 the first KFC franchise location was opened in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Other Companies With Out-Of-State Headquarters: Kentucky Fried Chicken, which many people know as KFC, won't be the first company with a state in their title to be headquartered elsewhere.
Here are some other companies that have state names in their titles, but aren't headquartered there.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Thursday. On Wednesday, the company reported fourth-quarter sales&nbsp;of $3.53 billion, which surpassed <a target="_blank" href="http://benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43150127/alaska-air-group-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of&nbsp;$3.43 billion</a>.
The quarterly revenue exceeded expectations for both Alaska and Hawaiian, aided by strong leisure demand and a rebound in corporate travel.
Favorable winter weather enabled reliable operations during the holiday season, with a higher-than-expected completion rate and load factor.
The Seattle-based company disclosed capacity (available seat miles) growth of 2.5% Y/Y and operating revenue per available seat miles increase of 7% Y/Y in the quarter.
Unit revenues, which turned positive in August, improved sequentially from 1% in the third quarter to 7% in the fourth quarter.
This momentum has continued into the early first quarter, thanks to close-in booking strength and a stable industry capacity outlook, positioning us for a solid start to 2025.
Unit costs rose 8.6% yearly but came in better than guidance, as disciplined non-fuel cost control offset higher performance-based pay accruals and increased capacity from improved completion rates.
While 2024 unit costs remain pressured by aircraft delivery delays, the company expects it to improve in 2025 as resource levels and capacity normalize.
Adjusted EPS of 97 cents, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $0.44</a>.
Adjusted EPS came about 50 cents above the midpoint guidance, led by revenue growth, cost improvements, and a decline in non-operating expenses.
CEO Ben Minicucci said, &#8220;This was a transformational year as we brought Hawaiian Airlines into Alaska Air Group and began our journey to unlock $1 billion in incremental pretax profit over the next three years.&#8221;
The company generated an operating cash flow of $1.5 billion in 2024. As of Dec. 31, the company&#8217;s cash and cash equivalents stood at $1.2 billion.
Buyback: The company repurchased 3.9 million shares of common stock for around $250 million&nbsp;in the fourth quarter, bringing total repurchases to 5.5 million shares for&nbsp;$312 million&nbsp;in 2024.
The company authorized a new&nbsp;share repurchase plan of $1 billion to be executed over the next four years, with repurchases beginning in&nbsp;January 2025.
Outlook: Alaska Air projects a first-quarter adjusted EPS loss of 70 cents to 50 cents vs. a consensus loss of 70 cents and sees FY25 adjusted EPS of greater than $5.75 compared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to a consensus loss of $5.90</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Themes Airlines ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIRL#NASDAQ">AIRL</a>) and iShares Focused Value Factor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOVL#NYSE">FOVL</a>).
Price Action: ALK shares are up 2.21% at $68.89&nbsp; premarket at the last check Thursday.

A recent analyst note from Bank of America outlines a mixed outlook for the U.S. airline industry in 2025, emphasizing strong performance from network carriers and challenges for leisure-focused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines">airlines</a>.
What To Know: Lead analyst Andrew Didora says Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) leads the pack with robust revenue growth, fueled by corporate travel, premium offerings and Atlantic route expansion. Its Buy rating is reaffirmed with an unchanged price target of $78.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) also holds a Buy rating, supported by similar trends, with a price target of $120.

American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) has been upgraded to Neutral and its price target has been raised from $12 to $20. BofA says the airline stands to benefit from Delta-driven industry trends, including premium revenue growth and recovery in corporate travel. BofA also notes the potential to recapture $1.5 billion in market share lost in 2024, though execution risks temper expectations.
Conversely, Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) face downgrades to Underperform. Southwest's price target is lowered from $33 to $31, reflecting challenges in adapting to post-COVID-19 pandemic industry dynamics, including competition from premium and corporate-focused carriers.
JetBlue's price target remains at $6.50 despite limited capacity growth and higher costs, compounded by a tough comparison to 2024's early Easter holiday.

Alaska Air Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), rated Buy, sees its price target raised to $80 from $70 by BofA, bolstered by opportunities from its Hawaiian Airlines acquisition.
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) also benefits from a price target increase, climbing from $54 to $95, although concerns about pilot contracts and rising fuel costs persist. 
Frontier Group Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>), rated Neutral, has its price target adjusted upward from $7.50 to $9 due to slightly higher earnings forecasts.
What Else: While rising jet fuel prices, up 8% year-to-date, weigh on the sector, network carriers like Delta, United and American remain better positioned. BofA expects these airlines to outperform in 2025, leveraging premium revenues and international routes to navigate cost pressures.
