Maximus's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMS#NYSE">MMS</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.64% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 593 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.82% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.92 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Maximus 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 Maximus'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>, Maximus's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.88%, 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>

<h3>Lesser Chance of Q3 Earnings Beat</h3>
Our proven model doesn&#39;t conclusively predict an earnings beat for MMS this time around. The combination of a positive&nbsp;Earnings ESP&nbsp;and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that&#39;s not the case here.
MMS has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3.
<h3>Strong Operations in the U.S. Should be the Driver in Q3</h3>
We expect that year-over-year improvement in the company&#39;s top line in the to-be-reported quarter will be driven by an increase in the U.S. Federal Services and U.S. Services segment&#39;s revenues, partially offset by weakness in Outside the U.S. segment.
The consensus estimate for the U.S. Federal Services revenues is pegged at $652.7 million, indicating 11.8% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for the U.S. Services revenues is pegged at $475.9 million, indicating 6% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for the Outside the U.S. Services revenuesis pegged at $147.8 million, indicating a 5% year-over-year decline.
MMS&#39; operating loss in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to be $2.93 million, a significant contraction from a loss of $24 million reported in the year-ago quarter.
<h3>The Stock is Rallying</h3>
MMS shares have surged 16.2% over the past six months. This performance has significantly outpaced the 5.6% rise of its industry and the 8.5% rally of the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite. Among its close competitors, Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bah#NYSE">BAH</a>) has gained 1.5% and Accenture (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acn#NYSE">ACN</a>) has dipped 12.7% over the same period.
<h3>Six-Month Price Performance</h3>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/a9/73384.jpg?v=376761409" style="height:315px; width:600px" />

<h3>Investment Thoughts</h3>
With more than 40 years of experience, Maximus has become a leading global operator of government health and human services programs. Its expertise in business process management and ability to deliver cost-effective, efficient solutions make it a valuable partner for governments. Maximus has strong relationships and a solid reputation with governments, leading to predictable recurring revenue from long-term contracts. The company seeks long-term client relationships in existing and new markets and is expanding in clinical services and long-term services. Rising longevity and complex health needs boost demand for its services.
Maximus&#39; commitment to shareholder returns offers investors long-term wealth growth. The company paid cash dividends of around $68 million annually in recent fiscal years.
<h3>Wait for a Better Entry Point</h3>
MMS&#39; strong standing as a technology leader, facilitating the transformation of government programs to become dynamic and integrated, indicates significant long-term growth potential, but timing the market entry is crucial for maximizing investment returns.
While MMS remains fundamentally strong, a more advantageous entry point could emerge if the stock undergoes some correction that may begin soon, especially when MMS does not seem poised for an earnings beat this season.

<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.
