<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Conagra Brands has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Conagra Brands'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>, Conagra Brands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.59%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The day after a volatile Federal Reserve meeting, Wall Street grappled with the stark reality of Fed Chair <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Jerome Powell</a>&#8216;s cautious tone on cutting interest rates in 2024. The message left investors weighing the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates amid<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42585715/us-gdp-upwardly-revised-to-31-in-q3-jobless-claims-drop-more-than-expected-treasury-yields-hit-7-month-highs"> a still-resilient economy.</a>
Despite the hawkish undertones, stocks managed to stabilize, with major indices posting modest gains as dip-buyers emerged.
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.5%, recovering from a steep 3% selloff on Wednesday—its worst one-day drop since September 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%, attempting to break a staggering 10-day losing streak, its longest since 1974, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 edged 0.3% higher. 
While equities regained some ground, market conviction remains tepid as investors brace for Friday's release of the November inflation report, a critical data point for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future policy decisions. The report could either reaffirm the Fed's hawkish stance or inject hope for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative">lower-than-expected data.</a>
Thursday's economic data continued to underscore the resilience of the U.S. economy. Third-quarter GDP growth was upwardly revised from 2.8% to 3.1%, amid strong consumer spending. Weekly jobless claims fell to 220,000 last week, below forecasts of 230,000, signaling a still-tight labor market.
The bond market extended its selloff, with longer-dated Treasuries taking the biggest hit. Fixed-income investors remain under pressure, exacerbated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42594797/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-the-debt-ceiling-30-year-treasury-bonds-fall-to-2024-lows-stocks-cut-gains">recent comments from Donald Trump,</a> who floated the idea of eliminating the U.S. debt ceiling entirely—a development that could upend Treasury market dynamics.
In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.2%, hitting its highest level since November 2022, supported by robust economic data.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained flat at $100,000, following Wednesday&#8217;s 5.6% plunge.

US Stocks Edge Up, Micron Suffers Worst Day Since March 2020, Bond Yields Surge: What's Driving Thursday's  Markets?

ConAgra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>) shares are trading slightly lower in the morning session on Thursday.
The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 70 cents, beating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42573423/conagra-brands-reports-second-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the analyst consensus estimate of 67 cents.</a>
Quarterly sales of $3.195 billion, beating the street view of $3.149 billion. The results show a 0.4% decrease in net sales, with organic net sales up by 0.3%.
The&nbsp;0.3%&nbsp;increase in organic net sales was driven by a&nbsp;0.1% negative impact from&nbsp;price/mix and a&nbsp;0.4%&nbsp;increase in volume.
Net sales for the Grocery &amp; Snacks segment increased&nbsp;2.0% to&nbsp;$1.3 billion, reported and organic net sales for the Refrigerated&nbsp;&amp; Frozen segment were flat at&nbsp;$1.3 billion, net sales for the International segment decreased&nbsp;12.9% to&nbsp;$243 million, and sales for the Foodservice segment decreased 0.9% to&nbsp;$292 million.
The reported operating margin fell to 12.6%, down by 138 basis points, while the adjusted operating margin decreased to 15.3%, a 57 basis point drop.

&#8220;While momentum remains strong, we expect the business to be impacted by two headwinds in the back half including higher than expected inflation and unfavorable foreign exchange rates,&#8221; said Sean Connolly, president and chief executive officer of Conagra Brands.
Net interest expense was&nbsp;$108 million in the quarter, a 4.5% decrease compared to the prior year period due to a reduction in total debt.
For the first half of fiscal 2025, the company generated&nbsp;$754 million&nbsp;in operating cash flow. The company ended the quarter with net debt of&nbsp;$8.4 billion.
Outlook: Conagra Brands has lowered its FY25 adjusted EPS outlook to $2.45 &#8211; $2.50 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41138385" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the previous view</a> of $2.60 &#8211; $2.65. The analyst consensus estimate stands at $2.58.
The company projects organic net sales to be near the midpoint of a 1.5% decline to flat <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">growth year-over-year.</a>

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Conagra Brands 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 Conagra Brands'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>, Conagra Brands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.02%, 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>
