Verisk Analytics Inc

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is facing a lawsuit filed by customers in Georgia for allegedly collecting and selling their driving information without consent.
What Happened: In the filing, plaintiffs said they had a &#8220;reasonable expectation of privacy&#8221; when driving on the road. Plaintiffs also claim GM has violated the Federal Wiretap Act, the Stored Communications Act, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; all of which the company denies.
GM states that ‘driving a vehicle, which necessarily involves conduct that takes place on public roads, cannot form the basis for any privacy-based claims,' <a href="https://www.motor1.com/news/757240/general-motors-sells-data-public-roads/">noted</a> Motor1 on Monday.
‘Driving data includes vehicle location, driving routes, braking events, and speed, all of which occur on "public thoroughfares,"' GM states in their filing to dismiss the case.
Besides GM, the defendants also include data analytics companies NexisLexis and Verisk Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSK#NASDAQ">VRSK</a>). Both companies also maintain similar positions to GM in their court filings to dismiss the case.
Why It Matters: GM has had previous run-ins with privacy laws, as the FTC had banned the company and its unit, OnStar, from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43051842/ftc-bans-general-motors-from-sharing-driver-data-following-allegations-that-it-sold-sensitive-consumer-information">disclosing driver information</a> to consumer reporting agencies in January.
"GM monitored and sold people&#8217;s precise geolocation data and driver behavior information, sometimes as often as every three seconds,&#8221; said FTC Chair Lina M Khan at the time of the announcement.
In the midst of this filing in Georgia, GM faces uncertainty as Donald Trump's auto tariffs continue to cast a doubt over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44806252/trump-tariffs-could-put-ford-gm-at-high-risk-of-negative-ratings-report">company's ratings</a>. The tariffs could potentially cost GM and other auto manufacturers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">billions of dollars</a>.
Elsewhere, GM had announced it will continue to manufacture EVs at its Ramos Azirpe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44916042/general-motors-has-no-plans-to-move-ev-production-away-from-mexico-despite-tariff-uncertainty">production facility in Mexico</a>, amid uncertainty about auto tariffs.

<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.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Verisk Analytics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.10%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
