Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending April 25:
Construction Partners (NASDQ:ROAD): The civil infrastructure company you may never have heard of saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week. The increased interest comes ahead of second-quarter financial results scheduled for May 9. Analysts expect the company to report a loss of nine cents per share, down from a loss of 2 cents per share in last year's second quarter. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $559.6 million, up from $371.4 million in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight of the last 10 quarters and revenue in nine of the last 10 quarters, including six straight. In January, the stock was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/25/01/43173631/construction-partners-stock-cracks-under-pressure-as-short-seller-warns-of-potential-50-downside">target of a short report</a> from Spruce Point alleging the company has a weak backlog, revenue growth failures. The report said the stock could fall by up to 50%. In February, the company <a href="https://ir.constructionpartners.net/news/press-releases/detail/139/construction-partners-inc-announces-fiscal-2025-first">reported </a>first-quarter revenue growth of 42% year-over-year and said it had a record backlog of $2.66 billion. The company's recent acquisitions grow the company's presence in Oklahoma, Texas and Alabama, which could defend off part of the short report that said the company was reliant on Florida and seeing declining revenue in the state.
The stock was up around 5% over the last week, as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0425">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below, with shares up 55% over the last year.

Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $440.3 million, up from $413.7 million in last year's fourth quarter.

Truist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RBC/analyst-ratings">maintained a Buy rating </a>on the stock recently, while lowering the price target from $410 to $375. The company <a href="https://investor.rbcbearings.com/news-releases/news-release-details/rbc-bearings-incorporated-announces-fiscal-third-quarter-2025">saw </a>third-quarter net sales up 5.5% year-over-year with Aerospace/Defense up 10.7% year-over-year. Investors and analysts will likely be looking for more growth in the fourth quarter and positive comments on the company's industries. RBC executives said they were preparing for volume recovery from customers throughout 2025.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Casella Waste Sys 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he is worried about The Wendy&#8217;s Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>).
Cramer says it should not have a 7% yield, adding, &#8220;That, to me, suggests something may be wrong here.
Morgan Stanley analyst John Glass supported his view on Jan. 21, downgrading Wendy&#8217;s from Equal-Weight to Underweight and lowering the price target from $22 to $14.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nu Is A &#8216;Really Hard&#8217; Company</h3>
Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) is a &#8220;really hard&#8221; company. Cramer added that he prefers SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) over the fintech firm.
Supporting his view, Citigroup analyst Ashwin Shirvaikar, on Dec. 2, downgraded the rating from Neutral to Sell on the stock and lowered its price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NU/analyst-ratings">target from $14.6 to $11</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Stocks In Focus</h3>
TETRA Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTI#NYSE">TTI</a>) is a &#8220;very good company, and it did come up from the ashes,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;As a matter of fact, it's come up so much, it's up 28% for the year, so I cannot sanction buying it.&#8221;
The company's stock also jumped more than 33% over the past month.
When asked about Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>), he said, &#8220;I can't recommend anything on a straight line. But if it pulls back a couple bucks, though, it's good, because this should be one of the great pharma stories because it's got the best growth in device and pharmaceuticals.&#8221;
Abbott Laboratories, meanwhile, on Jan. 22, reported fourth-quarter sales of $10.97 billion, up 7.2% year over year, missing the consensus of $11.01 billion.
&#8220;This one has been around forever, and it just caught fire,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CWST#NASDAQ">CWST</a>). The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host added that although it's good he will go back to Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WM#NYSE">WM</a>).
Adding support to his choice, Jefferies analyst Stephanie Moore, on Jan. 23, downgraded Casella Waste from Buy to Hold and lowered the price target from $115 to $113.

<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.
