<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 PulteGroup 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 PulteGroup'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PulteGroup's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.65%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Shares of PulteGroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>), one of the nation's largest homebuilders, moved higher by as much as 2.1% to $107.36 Thursday morning, before pulling back marginally, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44418891/us-home-sales-jump-in-february-median-price-nears-400000-next-big-move-could-shock-everyone-analysts-say">strong rebound</a> in existing home sales and rising home prices.
What To Know: February's 4.2% monthly increase in sales, reported by the National Association of Realtors, signals renewed momentum in the housing market despite affordability concerns.
PulteGroup, known for building single-family homes across key markets like Florida, Texas and Georgia, benefits directly from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44418891/us-home-sales-jump-in-february-median-price-nears-400000-next-big-move-could-shock-everyone-analysts-say">tight housing inventory</a>.
Even with a 5.1% increase in supply from January, the market remains undersupplied, with just 3.5 months' worth of inventory—well below the six-month threshold considered balanced. This persistent shortage has fueled a 3.8% annual rise in home prices, pushing the median price to $398,400.
Rising home values bolster demand for new construction, a key driver of PulteGroup's revenue growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PHM Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for PulteGroup &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PHM has a 52-week high of $149.47 and a 52-week low of $100.54.

News

What's Going On With PulteGroup (PHM) Stock?

Seaport Global analyst Kenneth Zener upgraded PulteGroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) from Sell to Neutral and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/phm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced a price forecast of&nbsp;$100</a>.
The analyst writes that his ratings begin with long-term investors&#8217; benchmark relative weighting decisions, analyzing past cycle stock performance by quartiles (cycle time divided by 4).
Historical data suggests that absolute declines are still likely, but the sector&#8217;s risk-to-return profile flattens, providing an opportunity for early-cycle positioning with asymmetric returns when the cycle turns, adds the analyst.
The analyst says the sector&#8217;s historical decline of 41% over the past 21 cycles, with the upper half of stocks falling 24%, while the lower half dropped 49%. Returns in the third quartile fell 26%, with another 15% decline into the trough.
Zener expects the second quarter of FY25 to start to fall by 15%-20% in the first half of 2025 to lower the new supply.
