Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) rally back above 40 cents has captured the attention of traders, with many expressing optimism about a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-doge-price-prediction">rally to new highs</a>.
What Happened: Following a period of consolidation around $0.40, DOGE is up 6.5% on the day, trading around $0.425 at the time of writing.
Technical analysts are signaling bullish indicators on multiple timeframes, fueling speculation about the cryptocurrency's next move.
Prominent trader Eugene Ng <a href="https://x.com/0xENAS/status/1862548337570062821">highlighted</a> Dogecoin&#8217;s resilience after reclaiming the $0.40 mark. 
"Reclaiming 4H after faking down below 40c looks to me like this was indeed some healthy consolidation," he tweeted. "Don't think we've ranged in this region for this long just to flag out without trying to reach ATH again."
Kevin, another well-known trader, <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1861795417370825176">pointed</a> to emerging bullish signals on the 4-hour timeframe, citing a hidden bullish divergence as a critical development.
&#8220;Let's get back above .41 cents (.786 Fib), and we'll be back in business," he wrote, noting the potential for upward momentum if key resistance levels are broken.

Others, such as analyst Ali, tempered enthusiasm with a reminder of historical patterns.
He <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1862444140891709938">compared </a>the current market setup to past parabolic Dogecoin runs in 2017 and 2020, which included brief corrections before sustained rallies. 
"Dogecoin is going to test your patience in this parabolic run! Just like in 2017 &amp; 2020, we got a sell signal from TD, anticipating a brief correction before the bull rally continued," Ali noted.
The excitement around Dogecoin comes amid broader discussions about the cryptocurrency's future, particularly its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42247693/dogecoin-etf-coming-in-2025-i-think-someones-going-to-try-says-etf-analyst">prospects for institutional adoption.</a>
With a new U.S. administration that has shown a crypto-friendly stance, the possibility of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42247693/dogecoin-etf-coming-in-2025-i-think-someones-going-to-try-says-etf-analyst">Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a> is fueling additional interest.
As of now, Dogecoin remains the sixth-largest cryptocurrency, trading at around $0.40 with a market cap of $59 billion.

Dogecoin Price Up 6.5%: What Is Going On?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $132.66, after a 1.69% spike. Over the past month, BWX Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWXT#NYSE">BWXT</a>) stock increased by 6.75%, and in the past year, by 60.65%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>A Look at BWX Technologies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 76.28 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, BWX Technologies Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 43.2. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732909528_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Nov. 29:
Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): The large real estate investment trust saw increased interest from readers during the week. This trend could point to optimism ahead of the 2024 holiday shopping season, which is expected to see records set <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42225933/black-friday-cyber-monday-shopping-set-to-break-sales-records">for Black Friday</a>. 
With Thanksgiving falling later than normal, there are only 27 days from the day before Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. While this means fewer shopping weekends for retailers and malls, it could see a boost in traffic during the four main shopping holidays. 
Analysts have been raising their price targets on the stock ahead of the holiday shopping season. Stifel raised their price target from $164.50 to $175.50 and Scotiabank raised their price target from $169 to $185. Recent guidance from the company was ahead of analyst estimates for the full fiscal year according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The chart below <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro </a>shows the five-day trading range of Simon Property Group. The stock is up 28% year-to-date.

Allison Transmission Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALSN#NYSE">ALSN</a>): The automatic transmissions company saw increased interest from readers during the week. The company makes products mainly for the commercial vehicle sector, which could benefit from an industrial boom under President-elect Donald Trump. 
The company's recent quarterly financial results continued a streak of beating analyst estimates. Allison Transmission has beaten earnings per share estimates in nine straight quarters and beat revenue estimates in four straight quarters and eight of the last nine quarters overall. 
Citigroup recently maintained a Neutral rating on the stock and raised the price target from $115 to $125. The stock was up slightly over the past week and shares are up over 100% year-to-date in 2024.

Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>): The energy solutions company has appeared on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39866122/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet"> multiple Stock Whisper Index </a>lists throughout the year and makes it return thanks to increased interest in nuclear power generation. 
The company is one of several energy companies betting on future nuclear energy that could benefit from a boom in big companies like Alphabet (Google), Amazon and Microsoft emphasizing nuclear power. 
Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41731110/goldman-sachs-sees-early-stages-of-nuclear-renaissance-in-us-analysts-highlight-top">recently said </a>the U.S. could be in the "early stages of nuclear renaissance." Constellation Energy was named in the analyst note, with the company's Three Mile Island plant being brought back online highlighted as the start of other similar moves.
"Recognition of accelerated power demand growth from utilities is leading to greater willingness to consider new large-scale reactors," Goldman Sachs said.
The company recently reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41719271/constellation-energy-q3-earnings-beat-revised-fy24-eps-guidance-more">third-quarter financial results </a>that saw revenue and earnings per share come in ahead of analyst estimates. Constellation Energy also raised full-year earnings per share estimates.
Constellation shares were up 2.2% over the past five days and shares are up over 120% year-to-date in 2024.

Ufp Industries Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFPI#NASDAQ">UFPI</a>): The wooden pallet manufacturer and industrial packaging solutions company saw increased interest from readers during the week. 
The company, which also supplies lumber to the manufacturer housing sector, recently announced the opening of a new 10,000-square-foot packaging design and development center at its Georgia facility. Ufp Industries said the new design center will offer new testing services to help its customers. 
The stock could be one to watch with the new center potentially landing bigger deals and keeping customers. The company's ties to the manufactured home sector could also be on watch with the potential for the housing sector to be a theme going forward.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="506" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png" alt="" class="wp-image-670725" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>): The company, which owns TurboTax, QuickBooks and other financial products, saw increased interest from readers over the week. 
Intuit recently reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42123997/intuit-shares-fall-after-q1-results-fy25-guidance-below-estimates"> first-quarter financial results, </a>which saw revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates.
While the report beat estimates, investors are becoming concerned about how the company's tax business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42073106/whats-going-on-with-intuit-shares-tuesday">could be impacted</a> by the new White House administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, is looking to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes. The move, which could see more Americans file their taxes directly, could cut down on dependance for tax software like TurboTax. Intuit shares could fall further as more details of the plan come out.
Intuit stock was down on the week and shares are up 6% year-to-date in 2024.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Via <a href="https://elplanteo.com/venderan-semillas-de-cannabis-psicoactivo-en-uruguay/">El Planteo</a>
Mercedes Ponce de León, founder of <a href="https://elplanteo.com/expocannabis-uruguay-2024/">ExpoCannabis Uruguay</a>, announced that &#8220;On Friday, December 6, at ExpoCannabis Uruguay, at 1 p.m., we will make history with the launch of the first pre-sale of legal psychoactive cannabis seeds in Uruguay.&#8221; This milestone cements Uruguay's position as a global cannabis industry leader.
The news, shared exclusively during <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouJLpCZvIA">El Planteo Live #23</a>, opens new doors for consumers and local businesses. Ponce de León explained that this initiative, spearheaded by Antera Garden Supplies in collaboration with seed bank Reaper Seeds, will offer legal psychoactive varieties. She added, "This is a revolutionary change in Uruguay&#8217;s cannabis history."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Uruguay: A Pioneer Facing New Challenges</h1>
Since legalizing cannabis production, commercialization and consumption in 2013, Uruguay has led the way in the region. The country has gained recognition for exporting medical cannabis flowers and industrial hemp, with companies striving for a global presence.
However, challenges persist, particularly in navigating international regulations and securing financing.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ExpoCannabis: Driving Industry Transformation</h1>
ExpoCannabis Uruguay has been a key event for the cannabis industry since its inception. More than just a networking opportunity, the event acts as a springboard for regulatory and commercial breakthroughs.
Ponce de León highlighted the importance of this year's edition, where the pre-sale of seeds takes center stage, promising to reshape the landscape for local consumers and growers. She noted, "ExpoCannabis has always been a platform for innovation, and this year will be no different."
The event's significance lies in its ability to generate impact both nationally and internationally. It attracts investors, experts and companies who view Uruguay as a model to emulate.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Future Of Cannabis In Uruguay</h1>
Despite its accomplishments, Uruguay faces growing competition from countries such as Colombia and Mexico, which are advancing in cannabis production and exportation. To maintain its leadership, Uruguay must continue innovating, diversifying its markets and addressing regulatory challenges with clear strategies.
The pre-sale of legal seeds marks just the beginning. As Ponce de León summarized, "This is the start of a new chapter for Uruguay's cannabis sector."

EXCLUSIVE: Psychoactive Cannabis Seeds To Be Sold Legally In Uruguay For The First Time

In a shortened trading week for the Thanksgiving holiday, President-elect Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the markets by announcing plans to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada alongside a 10% hike on Chinese goods. These measures, he indicated, aim to pressure these countries to address drug <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns">trafficking and illegal immigration.</a>
Currency markets reacted swiftly, with the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar plunging to two-year and four-year lows, respectively, before stabilizing as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42202496/goldman-sachs-expects-major-selloffs-in-canadian-dollar-mexican-peso-says-trump-tariffs-threaten-usmca-agreement">investors reassessed the risks.</a>
The escalating trade tensions took a toll <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42219612/usmexico-trade-tensions-escalate-as-mexican-peso-hits-august-2022-lows-why-is-auto-industry-most-at-risk">on U.S. automaker stocks,</a> particularly General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), which relies heavily on Mexican production. GM shares tumbled nearly 5% on the week, snapping a three-week winning streak.
Despite the looming risks of a new trade war, broader equity markets remained resilient. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both extended their record highs, reflecting investor appetite in a historical positive season for stocks.
Small-cap stocks, tracked by the Russell 2000 via the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), also surged, hitting fresh all-time highs on Monday and surpassing their previous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42176317/exclusive-small-caps-hit-records-yet-russell-2000-is-still-very-discounted-relative-to-the-sp-500-expert-says"> peak from November 2021.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Hit Automakers</h3>
S&amp;P Global estimates that tariffs on Mexico and Canada could slash U.S. automakers' profit margins by as much as 17% in a worst-case scenario. General Motors and Stellantis are expected to be the hardest hit given heavy reliance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42247850/gm-other-us-automakers-brace-for-sharp-profit-squeeze-from-trump-tariffs-analysts">on Mexican auto exports.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Seasonal Stock Rally</h3>
The&nbsp;stock market often excels during the holiday season. Data shows the S&amp;P 500 historically rises 1.5% in December, with November delivering a 1.2% gain on average since 1950. Analysts attribute this to strong retail spending, end-of-year portfolio adjustments and positive sentiment, making it a historically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42170135/its-the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year-for-the-stock-market-history-says">favorable period for investors.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mortgage Rates Reality</h3>
Compass CEO Robert Reffkin indicated that homebuyers are adjusting to the reality of 7% mortgage rates. As affordability pressures ease and inventory remains tight, he expects demand to stabilize. The normalization process could help the mortgage market regain momentum despite challenges posed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42235592/we-cant-go-much-lower-compass-ceo-says-home-buyers-are-coming-around-to-accepting-7-mortgage-rates">by elevated borrowing costs.</a>

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With Wayfair

As the green transition accelerates, demand for copper has surged, driven by its critical role in renewable energy infrastructure, electric vehicles (EVs), and power grids. Despite companies scrambling to launch new mines, the shortage of copper could reach millions of metric tons by 2035, prompting scientists and engineers to explore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum">alternatives like aluminum.</a>
Aluminum shares many of copper&#8217;s desirable properties, including high conductivity and corrosion resistance. The Earth's crust contains as much as 8.1% aluminum, which forms in bauxite ore, making it the most abundant metal on the planet. Meanwhile, copper deposits form through the mineralization of primary ore deposits deeper below the surface, making them harder to find and extract and less abundant.
Aluminum&#8217;s applications extend beyond EVs to power grids and renewable energy systems, like overhead power lines, solar panel frames, and wind turbine components. While subsea cables and critical transformer windings still favor copper for its superior conductivity and resistance to fatigue, aluminum&#8217;s role in renewable energy is growing.
Per Auke Hoekstra, a researcher from the University of Eindhoven, &#8220;almost all copper in electric vehicles can be replaced by <a href="https://www.shapesbyhydro.com/en/material-properties/how-we-can-substitute-aluminium-for-copper-in-the-green-transition/">aluminum</a>, from the motor windings to the wire harness.&#8221; However, despite its lighter weight, which makes it advantageous in fuel efficiency, aluminum has just 60% of copper&#8217;s conductivity.
Furthermore, aluminum production is energy-intensive, requiring between 13 to 15 megawatt hours to produce one metric ton of molten aluminum. Additionally, aluminum has higher creep rates and oxidation tendencies, imposing design restrictions and material treatment challenges. 
Therefore, copper remains the material of choice for high-demand scenarios requiring durability and compactness, such as underground power lines, high-voltage transformers, and dense circuit boards.
In 2022, a team of researchers led by Keerti Kappagantula of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory worked on <a href="https://www.pnnl.gov/news-media/cooking-conductive-alternative-copper-aluminum">increasing</a> aluminum's conductivity through simulations that altered the metal's structure, removing or rearranging individual atoms. Still, Kappagantula's recent <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&amp;user=-ixY5zAAAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;sortby=pubdate">work</a> indicates that the focus has switched to graphene, a carbon allotrope and the strongest material ever measured on the microscopic scale. 
The material's popularity is notably present in the  U.S. Department of Energy's ongoing multi-million-dollar <a href="https://www.nrel.gov/news/program/2023/stage-2-winners-of-a-manufacturing-prize-are-supercharging-u-s-industries.html">competition</a> to develop conductivity-enhanced materials. Three out of seven competitors focus on copper-composite materials, two of which include graphene.
By introducing graphene, researchers aim to reduce resistance at the atomic level, unlocking new efficiencies while preserving copper&#8217;s inherent advantages. In a Net Zero world, there are two options: increase copper supply or maximize efficiency.
The Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>) has underperformed the market year-to-date, returning 13.40%. Its P/E ratio is 10.90x, well below the S&amp;P 500 30.4x ratio.

Teva Pharmaceutical Indus Unusual Options Activity

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) will release earnings results for the third quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/crm/earnings">closing bell, on Tuesday, Dec. 3</a>.
Analysts expect the San Francisco, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.44 per share, up from $2.11 per share in the year-ago period. Salesforce projects to report quarterly revenue of $9.35 billion, compared to $8.72 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
On Nov. 27, Citigroup analyst Tyler Radke maintained Salesforce with a Neutral and raised the price target from $290 to $368.
With the recent buzz around Salesforce ahead of quarterly earnings, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Salesforce offers an annual dividend yield of 0.48%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 40 cents per share ($1.60 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Salesforce, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Salesforce's $1.60 dividend: $6,000 / $1.60 = 3,750 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $1,237,538 worth of Salesforce, or 3,750 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.60 = 750 shares, or $247,508 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
CRM Price Action: Shares of Salesforce closed slightly lower at $329.99 Friday.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Salesforce Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">ESG investing space</a> had its ups and downs in 2024. Sustainable assets saw a 7% increase in AUM to $3.2 billion.
While the year has been challenging for ESG equity funds, particularly with underperformance in the first half, JPMorgan analysts are looking to 2025 with optimism. 
Among the most promising picks are bonds from major renewable energy players. These bonds are poised to benefit from tax credits, policy shifts, and growing demand for clean energy:
<ul>
<li>NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) – $5.25% 03/15/34 Bond (Z-spread 132bp): As one of the largest developers of renewable energy in the US, NextEra Energy continues to be a top pick for investors focused on ESG. The company remains exposed to fluctuations in renewable tax credits and financing, but with strong customer demand and state carbon targets, its long-term prospects are solid. This bond offers a potential upside as NextEra continues to expand its solar and wind portfolios.</li>
<li>The AES Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) – $2.45% 01/15/31 Green Bond (Z-spread 168bp): AES is another key player in the renewable energy space, benefiting from a large backlog of utility-scale projects. The company is positioned to capitalize on renewable PTCs, ITCs, and tax equity financing. With data center offtakers less sensitive to price hikes and interest rates, AES is well-positioned to navigate potential policy changes and remain a solid investment for ESG-focused bondholders.</li>
<li>Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) – $5.75% 03/15/54 Green Bond (Z-spread 190bp): As a leader in nuclear energy, Constellation Energy is supported by strong power fundamentals and firm nuclear sentiment across both sides of the legislature. With continued demand for reliable power and a growing market for data centers, Constellation is poised to benefit from its nuclear and renewable energy mix. This bond stands out as an attractive option for ESG investors looking for stable returns in the energy sector.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Bonds Set To Shine In 2025</h2>
JPMorgan's ESG bond picks for 2025 focus on companies in the renewable energy and utilities sectors. These bonds are positioned to benefit from strong macroeconomic support and evolving policies favoring clean energy.
With growing demand for green energy and stable regulatory environments, bonds from NextEra, AES, and Constellation Energy are likely to be top picks for ESG-focused investors looking for solid returns in the coming year.

Analyst Scoreboard: 4 Ratings For RadNet

HP's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.74% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.06 million shares sold short, which is 4.51% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.42 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.

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>, HP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.95%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The company recently reported that it has 27.90 million shares sold short, which is 44.68% 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.

Friday's Top 5 Trending Stocks: What's Going On With SMCI, Nvidia, MicroStrategy?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Nexalin Technology&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nxl-stock-quote/">NXL</a>) stock is down on Friday after the medical device company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/nexalin-technology-announces-pricing-52-million-public-offering-2024-06-27">priced a public offering</a> of its shares.



Nexalin Technology is selling 3 million shares of NXL stock for $1.75 each in this public offering. This has the company expecting gross proceeds from the offering to come in at $5.25 million.



Nexalin Technology notes that Maxim Group LLC is acting as the sole placement agent for the offering. The company is also expecting this offering to close on Monday.



<h2>What This Means for NXL Stock</h2>



With this public offering comes an increase in the total number of outstanding shares of NXL stock. This will also dilute the stakes of current investors in the company. That&rsquo;s one of the reasons why Nexalin Technology is seeing its share price fall today.



In addition to that, the price of the shares in the offering is a significant discount over its prior closing price. The company&rsquo;s shares closed out Thursday at $2.96 per share. It makes sense that shares of NXL shares would drop when the shares in the offering are being sold at such a lower price.



NXL stock is down 35.1% as of Friday morning. This comes with more than 955,000 shares traded. The company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume is closer to 2.9 million shares.

Why Is Nexalin Technology (NXL) Stock Down 35% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Elicio Therapeutics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/eltx-stock-quote/">ELTX</a>) stock is falling on Friday after the clinical-stage biotechnology company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/elicio-therapeutics-announces-proposed-public-offering-2024-06-27">announced a proposed public offering</a>.



Elicio Therapeutics has announced its plans for a public offering that will include shares of ELTX stock, warrants to purchase additional shares and pre-funded warrants. What the company doesn&rsquo;t reveal is the size and pricing of the offering.



Elicio Therapeutics says that it intends to use the funds from the offering for &ldquo;the advancement of its development pipeline.&rdquo; It will also use the money for working capital and general corporate purposes.



<h2>What This Means for ELTX Stock</h2>



With this public offering will come an increase in the total number of ELTX shares outstanding. That will also result in the stakes of current investors in Elicio Therapeutics being diluted. That helps explain why shares of ELTX stock are falling on Friday.



To go along with that, investors are likely wary about the pricing of the offering. While it hasn&rsquo;t been announced yet, it&rsquo;s likely to be below the current price of the company&rsquo;s stock. This will likely result in further drops for ELTX shares once the price is announced.



ELTX stock is down 36.2% as of Friday morning. That comes with 18,000 shares traded, as compared to a daily average of about 46,000 shares.

Oil producing is a major economic factor in the Netherlands."><div>Source: travelview / Shutterstock.com</div></div>VAALCO Energy (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/egy-stock-quote/">EGY</a>)&nbsp; is a fast-rising Texas-based oil and gas company operating in <a href="https://www.vaalco.com/">West and North Africa</a> and parts of North America. The company has seen tremendous growth over the last couple of years as <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2022/03/15/blog-how-war-in-ukraine-is-reverberating-across-worlds-regions-031522">Russia-Ukraine war triggered a global oil supply shortage</a> and a sharp demand incline.&nbsp;<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency//"></a>



The company has ramped up its production since 2022, witnessing a YOY growth of <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/investing/best-penny-stocks/#:~:text=VAALCO%20Energy%20(EGY).,Savara%20(SVRA).">20%</a> in 2023 and reporting a revenue jump of 25% in its most recent quarterly earnings report. With a current yield of about 3.99% and its <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/egy/revenue-eps">earnings per sharing</a> topping at seven cents per share in 2024 from two cents in 2022, VAALCO Energy proves to be one of the best penny stocks to buy right now.&nbsp;



Although it has recently graduated from a penny stock by surpassing $5, it is quite an affordable deal to ignore. And with almost three Waltsreet analysts offering a 12-month average price forecast of <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/egy/forecast">$8.92</a>, you should consider placing your money on this one.&nbsp;



VAALCO Energy is set to thrive, with the prevailing geopolitical conditions seeing a shift from Russian oil to Western-produced energy, the company has a real potential to thrive. 



The recent <a href="https://www.vaalco.com/investors/news-events/press-releases/detail/387/vaalco-energy-inc-announces-accretive-all-cash">acquisition of Svenska Petroleum Exploration</a> has also seen an increase in the company&rsquo;s production capacity, and ability to meet the increasing demand for Westen energy.&nbsp;



<h2>SoundHound AI (SOUN)&nbsp;</h2>

Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>SoundHound AI, Inc (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/soun-stock-quote/">SOUN</a>) is an AI-enabled voice and speech recognition company investing in providing personalized customer experience across all industries. The company provides an AI-powered technology that trains in natural language, understanding which enables companies to utilize the existing data, as well as automate personalized responses to customers.&nbsp;



Sound Hound&rsquo;s penny stocks have been one of the hottest in the market for the past year, surging over 89% YTD. The company has also seen an astounding Q1 sales revenue increase of over <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4104306-soundhound-q1-revenue-surges-as-top-boss-says-voice-ai-fast-becoming-must-have-tool">73%</a>, hitting a record 11.9 million, surpassing market estimates by $1.49 million.&nbsp;



With the company&rsquo;s shares now trading just under $4, the projected tech trends favor tremendous growth and expansion of its operations. With AI titans such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/nvda/">NVDA</a>) throwing their weight behind the company and almost all industries accepting AI to improve customer service, SoundHound AI has a real potential to grow.&nbsp;



<h2>NeXalin Technology, Inc (NXL)</h2>

The company&rsquo;s transcranial alternating current stimulation technology utilizes a non-invasive treatment method that uses a patented frequency waveform to stimulate a positive response in the patient&rsquo;s brain.



The company has witnessed tremendous growth since this new technology was approved by the FDA. While NeXalin&rsquo;s stock trades at just above $2, it is the most bullish penny stock to buy right now.&nbsp;



Recently, it secured a patent for <a href="https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/nexalin-patent-alzheimers-device/">Alzheimer&rsquo;s deep-brain stimulation device</a>, a non-invasion treatment procedure that will revolutionize the treatment of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. While the announcement came with an almost 50% surge in the company&rsquo;s stock prices, the company has the potential to grow, having developed a strategic lead in the non-invasive brain treatment technology. NeXalin is definitely one of the most promising penny stocks to buy this year.
