<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>Comparing Aon's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

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>, Aon's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.46%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Eli Lilly and Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Zepbound (tirzepatide) is reshaping the competitive landscape in obesity treatment, challenging Novo Nordisk A/S' (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Wegovy (semaglutide) for market dominance.
According to a GlobalData <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/pharma/eli-lillys-zepbound-holds-potential-dominate-obesity-market-says-globaldata/" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, Zepbound's superior effectiveness and strategic market growth position it to potentially overtake Wegovy as the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42613036/novo-nordisks-hybrid-weight-loss-drug-falls-short-on-expectations-stock-plunges" rel="noreferrer noopener">leading therapy for obesity</a>.
Since its debut, Zepbound has expanded its scope beyond obesity treatment. In December 2024, the FDA approved the drug for treating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42637278/eli-lillys-zepbound-receives-fda-approval-for-obesity-linked-sleep-apnea-drug" rel="noreferrer noopener">obstructive sleep apnea</a>.
Ongoing studies are exploring additional indications, such as reducing cardiovascular risks, addressing chronic kidney disease, and treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

US Spending Reached $5 Trillion In 2023 with Major Increase in Obesity and Diabetes Drugs, Hospital Services</a>.
GlobalData's Pharma Analyst, Costanza Alciati, highlighted that Eli Lilly is emulating Novo Nordisk's approach by exploring multiple therapeutic areas to broaden Zepbound's market potential.
Wegovy has been a game-changer in the obesity sector, earning widespread recognition and driving significant investment in the field. Over 400 companies are now developing obesity therapies inspired by Wegovy's success. The drug is also approved for managing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risks, with further research focusing on conditions like chronic kidney disease.
Despite Wegovy's achievements, Alciati remarked that Zepbound is "raising the bar" with greater potency and potential cost-effectiveness, making it a formidable contender in the obesity market.
In parallel, healthcare costs in the U.S. are climbing rapidly. Aon plc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>) August <a target="_blank" href="https://aon.mediaroom.com/2024-08-15-Aon-U-S-Employer-Health-Care-Costs-Projected-to-Increase-9-Percent-Next-Year" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> projects a 9% increase in employer-sponsored healthcare costs for 2025, exceeding $16,000 per employee.
This surge surpasses the 6.4% rise from 2023 to 2024, driven by higher medical claims, rising prescription drug expenses, and inflation-related adjustments.
Specialty drugs, particularly GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide and semaglutide, are key drivers of these rising costs. Aon's analysis reveals that these medications could add 1% to overall healthcare cost increases.
Despite their low utilization, these therapies significantly impact employer healthcare budgets.
On average, U.S. employers cover 81% of health plan costs, leaving employees to pay 19%, amounting to $4,858 annually, including premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.
In 2024, employer healthcare budgets grew by 6.4%, while employee premiums increased by a more modest 3.4%, according to Aon's analysis.
The technology and communications sector experienced the highest employer cost increase at 7.4% in 2024, while public sector employees faced the steepest rise in contributions at 6.7%.
In contrast, the healthcare industry saw no material change in employee contributions.
High-cost claims stemming from gene and cell therapies, complex medical procedures, and chronic conditions further strain employer budgets.
Price Action: LLY stock is up 0.88% at $778.79 during the premarket session at the last check on Thursday.

US Employer Health Costs To Rise In 2025 Fueled By Weight Loss: Report

Aon's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.27% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.29 million shares sold short, which is 2.01% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.38 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 Aon has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Aon'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>, Aon's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.02%, 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>

버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)의 보험 운영 부회장인 아지트 자인(Ajit Jain)은 사이버 보험이 요즘 매우 세련된 공간이 되었다고 말했다. 지난 몇 년 동안 사이버 보험은 전 세계적으로 최소 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36987783/scott-mayor-founder-of-endurance-advises-businesses-on-managing-cyber-risk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">100억 달러 규모의 시장</a>이 되었다.
지난 토요일 네브래스카주 오마하에서 열린 버크셔 해서웨이의 연례 주주<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wLdzddRtI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">총회</a>에서 자인은 사이버 보험의 수익성도 전체 보험료(프리미엄)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38630719/warren-buffett-fears-the-ai-genie-thats-part-out-of-the-bottle-but-agrees-it-has-potential-to-do-goo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">약 20%</a>로 상당히 높다고 말했다.
그러나 그는 버크셔가 다음과 같은 이유로 사이버 보험 책임을 고려할 때 매우 신중한 경향이 있다고 말했다:
<ul>
<li>일회성 손실과 사이버 손실에 대한 집계 잠재력을 파악하는 것은 어렵다.</li>
<li>자인에 따르면 일부 클라우드 운영이 중단되면 집계 손실이 엄청날 수 있으며 &#8220;최악의 경우 한도&#8221;를 이해할 수 없다는 점이 우리를 두렵게 한다.</li>
<li>사이버 보험의 손실 비용은 단일 손실뿐만 아니라 시간에 따른 손실까지 이해하기 어렵다.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;우리는 이 분야를 꽤 잘 관리했으며 지난 4-5년 동안 프리미엄 손실의 1달러 중 100센트 중 40센트 이상은 넘지 않았을 것으로 생각한다&#8221;고 자인이 덧붙였다.
그러나 자인은 현재 실제 손실 비용을 완전히 이해할 수 있는 충분한 데이터가 없다고 강조했다.
자인은 "[직원들]이 사이버 보험에 가입하지 못하도록 했다"고 말했다. "사이버 보험 증권을 작성할 때마다 돈을 잃는다."
결과적으로 사이버 보험은 대규모 사업이 될 것으로 예상되지만, 막대한 손실을 초래할 수도 있다.
&#8220;우리의 방법은 현재 우리가 어떤 의미 있는 데이터에 액세스할 때까지 이 분야에서 거리를 둔 상태로 있다&#8221;고 자인이 말했다.
국제통화기금(IMF)의 <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2024/04/09/rising-cyber-threats-pose-serious-concerns-for-financial-stability">보고서</a>에 따르면 코로나19 이후 사이버 공격은 두 배 이상 급증했다. 많은 회사가 경미한 직접적인 손실을 입었지만 에퀴팩스(Equifax)와 같은 일부 회사는 상당한 피해를 입었다. 예를 들어 에퀴팩스는 1억 5천만 명의 소비자에게 영향을 미친 2017년 주요 데이터 침해 사건 이후 침해 보상과 데이터 보안 전환에 10억 달러 이상을 지출했다.
사이버 보험을 제공하는 주요 미국 상장 기업을 살펴보면 다음과 같다:
