<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.

Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) shares are racing higher on Monday. The EV stock appears to be reacting to reports that Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reached a &#8220;conditional&#8221; settlement with Rivian in regard to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156817/tesla-rivian-settle-battery-tech-theft-dispute-after-nearly-4-years">a 2020 lawsuit</a>.
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/tesla-says-it-s-settling-technology-theft-suit-against-rivian">report</a>, Tesla said it reached a conditional settlement in its 2020 lawsuit against Rivian in which the Elon Musk-led company accused Rivian of poaching Tesla employees to get ahold of its EV trade secrets. 
Tesla reportedly told a California judge that it plans to seek dismissal of the case by Dec. 24 if the terms of the settlement are met. Tesla didn&#8217;t disclose specifics about the conditional agreement in its court filing. 
About four years ago, Musk flagged an &#8220;alarming pattern&#8221; of <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">Tesla</a> employees being poached by Rivian. Tesla even claimed that some workers were caught misappropriating Tesla&#8217;s internal technology for its next-gen batteries. 
Rivian reportedly denied all wrongdoing related to the lawsuit and suggested that Tesla was merely attempting to stifle competition in the EV space. 
Rivian previously failed to get the lawsuit thrown out and a trial was scheduled for March. It appears an agreement between the two EV makers could bring the dispute to a close before the end of the year.

Rivian recently launched a new joint venture with Volkswagen called "Rivian and VW Group Technology"&nbsp;that will focus on providing next-gen electrical architecture and software technology for future electric vehicles.
Rivian and Volkswagen expect to reduce development costs and scale new technologies more quickly through the joint venture, which aims to use existing Rivian architecture and software to enable the launch of Rivian's R2 in the first half of 2026.
RIVN Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/rivn">Rivian shares</a> were up 10.9% at $11.36 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lockheed Martin's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPXI#NASDAQ">UPXI</a>) shares are trading lower. The company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for Nevada to investigate those behind the manipulative fractional share round-up scheme during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41548075/whats-going-on-with-upexi-shares-friday">reverse stock split.</a>
The Details: Upexi believes that through the discovery process the company will be able to decipher who engaged in the manipulative trading transactions.
The company completed a 12-for-1 reverse stock split in early October. Before the split, it had fewer than 5,000 shareholders. Following the split, five brokerage firms requested 199,059 of the 202,183 total roundup shares, which account for about 19% of Upexi&#8217;s outstanding stock. 
This represents approximately 40 times the number of shareholders the company had before the reverse stock split.
&#8220;The company has taken the first and precedent-setting action in exposing the blatant manipulation around reverse stock splits. Since our previous release regarding this issue, I have been contacted by a number of companies who also were victims of this damaging stock manipulation scheme. I am astonished by the extent of the evidentiary support and encouragement I have received from multiple sources to advance our claims against those whom we believe manipulated the shares of Upexi and other securities,&#8221; said Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has gained traction amid rising burn rates, sparking optimism among technical analysts about bullish momentum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/shiba-inu-price-prediction">for the token.</a>
What Happened: According to Shibburn data, the burn rate for SHIB surged by 486.8% over the past day, with 5.9 million SHIB coins permanently removed from circulation.
 A single transaction alone accounted for around 2 million burned tokens.
Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, recently <a href="https://x.com/ShytoshiKusama/status/1860503088324387310">noted</a> that while burning 99% of SHIB's supply seemed improbable in the past, it now appears achievable due to increasing collaborations within the Shibarium ecosystem.
Kusama urged more projects to adopt Shibarium's tech stack to accelerate the burn rate

Why It Matters: Despite the spike in the burn rate, data from IntoTheBlock shows a 48% decline in large transaction volumes and a 24.6% drop in daily active addresses. 
Transactions exceeding $100,000 fell from 939 to 626 in a single day.
On the other hand, Shibariumscan recorded a rise in daily transactions, increasing from 4.75 million on Nov. 23 to 4.77 million on Nov. 24. 
DefiLlama data highlighted that Shibarium's total value locked (TVL) reached an all-time high of $4.76 million.
Benzinga Technical Analysis shows a relative strength index (RSI) of 39 for SHIB, suggesting the token is currently oversold, which could lead to a price rebound. 
Shiba Inu's 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) has surpassed its 100-day and 200-day SMA, signaling a bullish trend and potential buying opportunities.
Price Action: Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002564 at the time of writing, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours.

Robinhood Markets shares are trading higher after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised its price target from $24 to $55.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/compass-pathways">COMPASS Pathways</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMPS#NASDAQ">CMPS</a>), a key player in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/psychedelics">psychedelics industry</a>, recently experienced a $43 million drop in market capitalization, reducing its value to $302 million. As Simply Wall St. <a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/pharmaceuticals-biotech/nasdaq-cmps/compass-pathways/news/in-the-wake-of-compass-pathways-plcs-nasdaqcmps-latest-us43m">reported</a>, this decline has placed institutional investors, who own 30% of the company's shares, under increasing pressure to act. The stock has already faced a 32% loss over the past year, raising concerns about its future trajectory.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Institutional Ownership And Its Implications</h3>
Institutional investors, often referred to as &#8220;smart money,&#8221; hold the largest stake in COMPASS Pathways. These entities, which include hedge funds owning 13%, are known for their active investment strategies and significant influence on stock prices. A simultaneous sell-off by large institutional shareholders could exacerbate the company's losses, making the current situation pivotal for its stability.
The top nine shareholders collectively own 52% of the company, with George Goldsmith, a co-founder, holding the largest individual stake at 11%. Such concentrated ownership underscores the significant influence these stakeholders wield over the company's future.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insider And Public Stakeholders</h3>
Insiders account for 15% of ownership, valued at $46 million. This level of insider investment suggests a strong alignment of interests between the company&#8217;s leadership and its shareholders. However, balancing the influence of insiders with accountability remains a concern.
The general public holds 25% of COMPASS Pathways, reflecting the involvement of retail investors in the company&#8217;s trajectory. While this group lacks the power to dictate strategy, it plays a critical role in shaping sentiment and trading activity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Private Equity And Strategic Interests</h3>
Private equity firms control 5.6% of COMPASS Pathways, signaling potential for strategic input into the company's operations. Additionally, public companies own 10% of the business, likely reflecting related business interests or a de-merger history, warranting further investigation into these relationships.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Implications&nbsp;</h3>
The recent market cap drop highlights the challenges faced by COMPASS Pathways amid broader industry volatility. As institutions weigh their options, the potential for further sell-offs looms, which could negatively impact retail and smaller investors. Analysts will be closely monitoring the company&#8217;s ability to stabilize its earnings trajectory and maintain investor confidence.
Compass shares traded +2.04% at $4.50 per share at the time of this publication early afternoon on Monday.

COMPASS Pathways: Institutional Pressure Amid $43M Market Cap Decline, What's Next For This Psychedelics Co?

President-elect Donald Trump's legal troubles are set to ease after Special Counsel Jack Smith formally requested the dismissal of federal charges Monday linked to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
The move, filed in a Washington federal court Monday, is based on long-standing Justice Department guidance, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/">CBS News</a> reports.
What Happened: Smith asked the court to drop the charges against Trump, citing constitutional protections that shield sitting presidents from prosecution. The Justice Department concluded that allowing the case to proceed would conflict with these protections. 
Trump's legal team did not oppose the motion, and the dismissal is expected to be approved before his January inauguration.
Federal prosecutors had accused Trump of attempting to block the transfer of power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment alleged a coordinated effort to challenge the election results and pressure officials to overturn Joe Biden's victory.

Why It Matters: The decision brings an end to one of the most high-profile federal cases against Trump. Critics warn that dropping charges could create a precedent where sitting presidents are shielded from federal accountability. 
Smith, whose investigations also included Trump's handling of classified documents, is expected to resign after submitting a final report.
Trump, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42152895/trump-plans-doj-overhaul-including-firing-of-jack-smiths-team">plans sweeping changes</a> to the Department of Justice. Reports suggest he intends to fire Smith's team and revisit allegations of voter fraud, despite repeated findings that such claims lack evidence. Legal experts caution these moves could further erode trust in the Justice Department's impartiality.

Special Prosecutor In Trump's Jan. 6 Case Asks For Dismissal Ahead Of Inauguration Day

Analysts expect CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) to report third-quarter revenue of $982.36 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Tuesday.</a> That&#8217;s up from $786.01 million in last year's third quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Observers will be closely watching the stock for signs of a recovery following a July IT outage — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870313/microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-caused-largest-it-outage-in-history-showing-how-much-we-depend-on-a-hand">one of the largest in history</a>. 
Earnings Estimates: CrowdStrike has beaten analyst revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.
Analysts expect the company to report third-quarter earnings per share of 81 cents, versus 82 cents in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst earnings per share estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.
Guidance<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40613150/crowdstrike-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-arr-up-32-even-more-customer-obsessed-company-followi"> from the company</a> calls for third-quarter revenue to be in a range of $979.2 million to $984.7 million. The company also is guiding for third-quarter earnings per share to be in a range of 80 cents to 81 cents per share.

What Analysts Are Saying: Investor attention will be on CrowdStrike's recovery from its July 19 outage, Rosenblatt analyst Catherine Trebnick said in a new investor note.
The analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $325 to $385.
"Our channel checks suggest that customers remain confident in the company and are not stepping away," Trebnick said.
Trebnick said CrowdStrike could show "modest upside" from quarterly estimates and raise guidance.
"Some renewals may be delayed, but overall customer retention appears strong."
Guidance and the litigation overhang are key items being watched by WestPark Capital&#8217;s Paul Rodriguez. The analyst has a Hold rating and no price target. Future revenue can be impacted by customer discounts being used to help offset customer complaints about the July outage.
"Our checks suggest CRWD has not suffered much customer churn but CrowdStrike has had to make concessions to its clients base," Rodriguez said.
The analyst said there are concerns about heavy discounting being done in the field.
A litigation overhang mainly revolves around Delta Air Lines, is also a concern for the analyst after Delta decided to move forward with legal action.
"If other companies move further with litigation against CrowdStrike post the Delta news remains to be seen but this scenario does pose a risk to CrowdStrike shares."
Key Items to Watch: CrowdStrike said second-quarter annual recurring revenue was up 32% year-over-year. This remains a key item for investors to watch on Tuesday.
The company said the July outage inspired a renewed focus on becoming a "more customer-obsessed CrowdStrike." 
Cybersecurity remains a key theme going forward with companies increasing focus and spending on this category. Aside from the July outage recovery, new products and commentary on customer spending will be big items to watch for investors.
Price Action: CrowdStrike stock is down 2% to $363.80 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $200.81 to $398.30. CrowdStrike stock is up 47% year-to-date.
