<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.

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>, Glaukos's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.51%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Glaukos Announces Clinical Updates For iDose Sustained-Release Procedural Pharmaceutical Platform

Scorpion Capital, on Friday, disclosed a short seller report on TransMedics Group Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>), accusing the organ transplant technology company of fraudulent practices, including kickbacks, billing fraud and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMDX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unreported device failures</a>.
Scorpion alleges that TransMedics engages in &#8220;mafia-style&#8221; practices, including coercion, billing fraud, and the manipulation of organ allocation, operating under the guise of a legitimate medical device company.
The report sets a price target of $0.
The company said the allegations are inaccurate and misleading. &#8220;We strongly believe that the claims made in the Scorpion Capital report have no merits and were primarily intended to manipulate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42940808/transmedics-responds-to-inaccurate-and-misleading-claims-in-recent-short-seller-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market for financial gains</a>,&#8221; TransMedics said in a statement.

The report said TransMedics operates like an airline with a medical device component, trading at an expensive valuation of seven times its last 12 months&#8217; revenue.
By a more relevant metric, enterprise value to product sales, the ratio is 10 times – which Scorpion Capital describes as extraordinarily high, especially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41608129/organ-transplant-medtech-transmedics-q3-performance-disappoints-analyst-outlines-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as sales are declining</a>.
This makes TransMedics the most expensive mid-cap medtech company in the U.S. and the third-highest overall, behind Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and Glaukos Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), according to Scorpion Capital. 
Even at a more reasonable multiple of 5 times product sales, TransMedics&#8217; stock would drop to the $30 range.
The company has no free cash flow and only recently turned slightly profitable, a trend likely to reverse with declining sales.
Scorpion stated in its report, &#8220;TransMedics is the most extreme and grotesque healthcare fraud we have encountered, not only for its scale, but because it is predicated on the exploitation of the most vulnerable patients &#8212; the terminally ill, desperate for an organ.&#8221;
The short seller <a target="_blank" href="https://scorpionreports.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/TMDX.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">alleged</a> that TransMedics &#8220;pushes unsafe, damaged organs rejected by reputable centers, as an unplaced organ means loss of device and aircraft fees, with TransMedics allegedly concealing adverse organ information.&#8221;
Scorpion Capital announced plans to file a Citizen Petition with the FDA, requesting the suspension of Premarket Approval (PMA) for TransMedics&#8217; Organ Care System (OCS). The short seller also said it intends to send a public letter to members of Congress probing abuses in the U.S. organ transplant system.
In April, the FDA granted PMA to the OCS Heart System for use with organs from donors after circulatory death, following a PMA approval of the System after brain death received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/04/n26862717/transmedics-receives-fda-pma-approval-of-ocs-dcd-heart-indication" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in September 2021</a>.
Price Action: TMDX stock is down 12.6% at $60.10 at last check Monday.

(GKOS) - Analyzing Glaukos's Short Interest

Glaukos Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal diseases, today announced the submission of its New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Epioxa&#x2122; (Epi-on), its next-generation corneal cross-linking iLink therapy for the treatment of keratoconus, a progressive, sight-threatening corneal disease.
"The NDA submission for Epioxa represents an important milestone for our company as it brings us one step closer in being able to provide keratoconus patients and the ophthalmic community with the first FDA-approved, non-invasive corneal cross-linking drug therapy that does not require removal of the corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the front of the eye," said Thomas Burns, Glaukos chairman and chief executive officer. "We look forward to working closely with the FDA in their pending review process and continue to believe Epioxa, which is designed to reduce procedure times, improve patient comfort and shorten recovery time,represents a potentially meaningful advancement in the treatment paradigm for patients suffering from keratoconus."

This Constellation Brands Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Friday

UBS analyst Danielle Antalffy initiates coverage on Glaukos (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>) with a Buy rating and announces Price Target of $182.

UBS Initiates Coverage On Glaukos with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $182

Glaukos's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.52% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.81 million shares sold short, which is 8.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<h3>Glaukos Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733246117_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Glaukos 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 Glaukos'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>, Glaukos's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.73%, which means the company has more 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>

Last year, Morgan Stanley upgraded its outlook for the U.S. MedTech sector to &#8220;Attractive,&#8221; believing the concerns around GLP-1s were already reflected in stock prices and that fundamentals were strong.
However, this view didn&#8217;t play out as expected, mainly due to unforeseen, company-specific issues, such as DexCom, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) unexpected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39988466/dexcom-faces-short-term-challenges-but-market-growth-prospects-remain-strong-analys" rel="noreferrer noopener">Q2 channel mix challenges</a>, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39967649/edwards-lifesciences-stock-tumbles-highlights-slowdown-in-tavr-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">slowdown in TAVR procedures</a>, TransMedics Group, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41608129/organ-transplant-medtech-transmedics-q3-performance-disappoints-analyst-outlines-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">seasonal impacts</a>, and iRhythm Technologies, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRTC#NASDAQ">IRTC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41462205/with-fda-approval-irhythm-may-be-able-to-lift-regulatory-overhang-investor-skeptici" rel="noreferrer noopener">DOJ investigation</a>.
Morgan Stanley is bullish on the MedTech industry as volumes and pipelines continue to be strong into 2025 despite a shakey 2024.
The analyst also adds that MedTech seems less exposed to potential delays from extended FDA regulatory pathways than other healthcare sectors, given its lower reliance on PMAs and clinical-trial-heavy products.
The analyst adds that while single-stock surprises are inevitable, the overall outlook for the sector heading into 2025 remains favorable.
Morgan Stanley upgraded the outlook on Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and Stryker Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYK#NYSE">SYK</a>), moving both to Overweight from Equal-weight, citing:
<ul>
<li>ISRG: Strong demand for the Da Vinci Dv5 system is expected to exceed market expectations for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41406234/intuitive-surgical-posts-q3-earnings-beat-these-analysts-raise-forecasts-on-dv5-upt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">installed base growth</a>.</li>
<li>SYK: While orthopedic procedure volumes face some uncertainty, an estimated $1 billion—$2 billion backlog could drive growth in 2025. The company also benefits from ongoing M&amp;A opportunities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40819730/stryker-unveils-new-foot-ankle-solutions-with-truss-implants-details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and product innovations</a>.</li>
</ul>
Additional updates:
<ul>
<li>Procept BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRCT#NASDAQ">PRCT</a>): Initiated at Overweight, driven by increasing demand and higher pricing for Hydros in operating room efficiency, particularly in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583831/surgical-robotics-provider-procept-biorobotics-q3-earnings-beats-street-view-analys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower-volume BPH centers</a>.</li>
<li>Tandem Diabetes Care Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $45 price target, as its valuation (below 2x sales) seems overly compressed. Expansion into type 2 diabetes in 2025 could double its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41148635/tandem-diabetes-insulin-pump-demand-to-surge-despite-popular-demand-of-weight-loss-drugs-bullish-ana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">total addressable market</a>.</li>
<li>Globus Medical Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMED#NYSE">GMED</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $100 price target as merger concerns ease and strong above-market growth persists.</li>
<li>Embecta Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMBC#NASDAQ">EMBC</a>): Raised to Equal-weight from Underweight, factoring in the discontinuation of certain risks and potential upside from GLP-1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41148635/tandem-diabetes-insulin-pump-demand-to-surge-despite-popular-demand-of-weight-loss-drugs-bullish-ana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pen needle demand</a>.</li>
</ul>
The analyst is more cautious about Glaukos Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), downgrading it to Underweight from Equal-weight. The analyst notes that iDose is a strong product with promising long-term potential, but the current valuation limits the upside compared to other stocks. Additionally, although the pipeline includes exciting projects like Wet AMD, they remain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752463/glaukos-reports-30-boost-in-glaucoma-sales-improved-margins-in-q3-analyst-highlights-certain-headwi" rel="noreferrer noopener">years away from fruition</a>.
Morgan Stanley has downgraded Nevro Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVRO#NYSE">NVRO</a>) to Underweight from Equal-weight. Despite trading near record lows, the analyst expects weak demand for spinal cord stimulation devices to persist, with limited <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41910770/why-medical-device-firm-nevro-stock-is-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">opportunities for cost reductions</a>.
The analyst remains cautious about STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STAA#NASDAQ">STAA</a>). While the company is executing well, it faces tough conditions in the refractive surgery market, particularly in China and the U.S.
Lastly, Morgan Stanley is cautious about Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAX#NYSE">BAX</a>) because it offers fewer upside opportunities than peers and has a more conservative outlook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41845345/baxter-expects-hurricane-helene-aftermath-to-impact-near-term-financial-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">on operating margins</a>.
