Shares of consumer stocks are trading lower. Weak guidance from Kohl's may causing consumer spending concerns. Additional steel and aluminum tariffs may also increase input costs for some companies.

Another member of Congress has disclosed buying shares of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF ahead of President Donald Trump's announcement for a planned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.</a>
What Happened: Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently disclosed buying shares of a Bitcoin ETF, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene"> Benzinga Government Trades page.</a>
Greene follows Senator David McCormick (R-Pa.) who also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44194484/congressman-on-digital-assets-subcommittee-buys-bitcoin-etf-before-trumps-strategic-reserve-announcement">recently disclosed buying</a> shares of a Bitcoin ETF before a social media post from Trump announcing plans for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Greene's purchase of shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) happened on March 3 — after Trump&#8217;s social media post, but before he signed an executive order for Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. The purchase price was $15,000 to $50,000.
In the latest disclosure, Greene also announced buying $1,000 to $15,000 worth of the following stocks:
<ul>
<li>CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)</li>
<li>Dollar General (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) &#8211; $2,000 to $30,000 total from two purchases</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)</li>
<li>Impinj Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PI#NASDAQ">PI</a>)</li>
</ul>
The latest disclosure from Greene continues a series of heavy trading activity in 2024 and 2025 after limited buying and selling of stocks in 2022 and 2023 while in Congress.

Why It's Important: Unlike Greene&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43796040/marjorie-taylor-greene-discloses-new-stock-trades-palantir-purchase">recent purchase </a>of Palantir Technologies, the latest purchases don't have immediate red flags related to her congressional committee assignments.
Instead, the purchases of a Bitcoin ETF and Tesla stock could draw scrutiny due to her close relationship with President Trump and billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Greene has a role within the Department of Government Efficiency, which could give her increased access to Musk.
Trump ran on a platform of being pro-crypto during the 2024 election and his announced plans for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve don't come as a surprise. Greene's timing of the Bitcoin ETF shares still draws red flags as it was after his social media post and could have been done with knowledge of when an executive order would be signed.
For the record, Greene also bought $1,000 to $15,000 shares of IBIT back in January.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

In fact, many retail and discount store shares are trading lower after Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">issued soft first-quarter guidance.</a>
Walmart issued guidance for the 2026 fiscal year first quarter, expecting adjusted earnings per share between 57 cents and 58 cents, versus analysts' estimate of 64 cents. The company also anticipates a net sales increase of 3% to 4%.
Additionally, Walmart expects a 0.5% to 2.0% increase in adjusted operating income. The company said its guidance for net sales and adjusted operating income reflects factors like its acquisition of VIZIO and the challenge of lapping a leap year.
Stock markets dropped in morning trading, with all major US indices falling, The Guardian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/feb/20/walmart-forecast-shares-spending" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The report notes that Walmart&#8217;s lackluster forecast signals that US consumer spending is slowing down. It cites Brian Mulberry from Zacks Investment Management, a Walmart investor, who pointed this out as a warning.

For the past two years, high interest rates and ongoing inflation have slowed U.S. consumer spending, per a report by Reuters. Additionally, President Donald Trump&#8217;s new tariff on Chinese goods, along with potential tariffs on products from India, Mexico, and Canada, has added uncertainty to the economy.
Thus, Target&#8217;s share price could be impacted by Walmart&#8217;s soft guidance, which signals slowing consumer spending and weaker retail performance.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) is down over 5%.
As Walmart sets the tone for the sector, its outlook may cause investors to reassess the sector&#8217;s overall growth prospects.

Dollar Gen's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.13% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.13 million shares sold short, which is 5.21% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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 Dollar Gen 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 Dollar Gen'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>, Dollar Gen's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.97%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

(DG) - Analyzing Dollar Gen's Short Interest

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) stock is hovering around its 52-week high, up nearly 14% this year, partly due to its recent $34 million acquisition of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43515894/walmart-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-company-goes-shopping-for-malls">Monroeville Mall</a> in Pittsburgh. Despite increased investment positions by many funds in Q4, over-optimistic momentum indicators hint at a likely pullback.
What Happened: The stock surged to a 52-week high of $102.58 apiece in trade on Wednesday before the acquisition announcement on Thursday.

The momentum indicators were also very strong. While the positive MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator of 2.60 suggested the potential for upward momentum in the near term, the relative strength index of 79.66 showed that the stock was overbought with a pullback or correction is becoming increasingly likely.
