<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 Ascendis Pharma 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 Ascendis Pharma'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>, Ascendis Pharma's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.13%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

A Glimpse of Ascendis Pharma's Earnings Potential

Novo Nordisk AS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) will report third-quarter earnings on Wednesday. Wall Street expects 88 cents in EPS and $10.49 billion in revenues when the company reports<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings?tickers=NVO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> after market hours</a>. 
The stock is up 8.55% over the last year and 7.45% year-to-date.
Let&#8217;s look at what the charts indicate for Novo Nordisk stock and how the stock maps against Wall Street estimates.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novo Nordisk Stock Chart Bearish Ahead Of Q3 Earnings</h2>
Novo Nordisk&#8217;s stock is showing strong bearish momentum, as its price of $108.76 sits below its five- 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages. This downward trend is accompanied by persistent selling pressure, suggesting potential for continued bearish movement.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent110524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="625" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/05081610/Screenshot-2024-11-05-at-6.30.26-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-630249" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/05081610/Screenshot-2024-11-05-at-6.30.26-PM.png 625w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/05081610/Screenshot-2024-11-05-at-6.30.26-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent110524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
With an eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $111.67, a 20-day SMA of $115.16 and a 50-day SMA of $123.13 — all above the current price — technical indicators point to a bearish signal for NVO stock.
Additionally, the 200-day SMA at $128.29 further underscores the bearish outlook. 
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at a negative 3.44 signals downside momentum, while a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 25.06 indicates oversold conditions, hinting that NVO stock may face further declines without substantial support or a shift in buying interest.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Partnership For Longer-Acting GLP-1 Drugs</h2>
In a significant move to broaden its portfolio, Novo Nordisk has entered into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41723496/wegovy-manufacturer-inks-multi-million-deal-for-monthly-obesity-drug">a $285 million agreement</a> with Denmark-based Ascendis Pharma AS (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>). This partnership grants Novo exclusive worldwide rights to Ascendis' TransCon technology, aiming to develop once-monthly GLP-1 receptor agonists for Type 2 diabetes and obesity — a step up from its weekly GLP-1 drugs.
The alliance also covers cardiovascular diseases, with Novo retaining the option to expand future metabolic treatments into additional therapeutic areas. Ascendis will lead early-stage development, while Novo handles the regulatory, manufacturing, and commercial phases.
The lead program in the partnership is a once-monthly GLP-1 drug, a potential game-changer for patients with metabolic disorders. Novo's recent clinical studies underscore the broader health impact of its GLP-1 treatments, showing reduced hospital admissions for heart disease in overweight patients, boosting investor confidence in the potential cardiovascular applications of the new drug.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novo Nordisk Analysts See 46% Upside</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The consensus analyst rating</a> on Novo Nordisk stock stands at a Buy with a price target of $123.86. The latest analyst ratings for Novo Nordisk stock from BMO Capital and Cantor Fitzgerald give an average price target of $158.67, suggesting 45.78% upside potential.
As Novo Nordisk readies to share its third-quarter performance, the dual narratives of bearish technicals and bullish analyst ratings, combined with a groundbreaking new partnership, make the upcoming earnings call a highly anticipated event.
Price Action: Novo Nordisk stock closed the trading day Monday at $109.72, down 1.98%.

Ascendis Pharma, Novo Nordisk Partner For Development, Commercialization Of TransCon Technology-Based Products In Metabolic, Cardiovascular Diseases; Ascendis To Be Eligible To Receive Payments Of Up To $285M For Lead Program

On Tuesday, Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">reported third-quarter</a> adjusted EPS of 91 cents, almost double the 46 cents reported a year ago, beating the consensus of 52 cents.
The company reported sales of $745.74 million, beating the consensus of $700.14 million. Sales increased 28%, driven by strong VOXZOGO contributions from new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41610287/biomarin-announces-28-yy-total-revenue-growth-in-the-third-quarter-and-increase-in-full-year-2024-" rel="noreferrer noopener">patient starts in all regions</a>.
In the quarter, revenues from BioMarin&#8217;s Enzyme Therapies (Vimizim, Naglazyme, Aldurazyme, Brineura, and Palynziq) increased 27% year over year.

Guidance: BioMarin reaffirmed its long-term guidance and outlook, targeting around $4 billion in revenues in 2027.
The company expects a 40% adjusted operating margin starting in 2026 and growing to the low-to mid-40% range over time.
William Blair has downgraded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMRN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">BioMarin to a Market Perform</a>.
The analyst adds, &#8220;We believe the company&#8217;s current valuation adequately reflects revenue estimates for the company&#8217;s commercial portfolio, and we do not think its clinical pipeline will be a source of significant value creation in the near term.&#8221;
William Blair models 2024 and 2025 revenue of $2.8 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively.
Voxzogo sales increased 54% to $190 million in the third quarter. The analyst says Voxzogo remains the company&#8217;s key topline growth driver, but the threat of competition could erode its revenue growth and market share.
Last month, Ascendis Pharma A/S&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) released topline data from a trial in achondroplasia, showing its long-acting CNP, navepegritide, could potentially deliver similar efficacy as Voxzogo but with a more attractive once-weekly dosing.
Although Voxzogo&#8217;s label might expand, William Blair does not anticipate a significant increase in the total addressable patient population until 2030.
Despite BioMarin&#8217;s strong pipeline, the analyst does not consider data readouts from its early-stage programs over the next year as significant value drivers.
Only two programs are expected to contribute to BioMarin&#8217;s top line through label expansions by 2027: Palynziq for adolescent Phenylketonuria (PKU) patients and Voxzogo for Hypochondroplasia&nbsp;(HCH).
Analyst Reaction:

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Ascendis Pharma Stock In The Last 10 Years

Everybody loves finding a bargain or getting a good deal, and it&#39;s no different when it comes to stocks. One of the most popular technical indicators for helping investors find these is the Relative Strength Index (RSI).&nbsp;
Every stock has one. It works by considering a stock&#39;s recent performance over the past 14 trading days and spitting out a number ranging from 0 to 100. An RSI reading of more than 70 suggests extremely overbought conditions, while a reading below 30 suggests the opposite. The more extreme the reading, the more extreme the suggested condition of the stock.&nbsp;
With the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index back up around all-time highs since the Fed confirmed it was cutting rates, investor sentiment is clearly still bullish. This makes it all the more interesting when you then see a stock selling hard. Any indication that the selling might be verging on overdone or that the bears are running out of steam can mean a quick bounce is in store. With that in mind, here are three stocks with RSI readings that suggest they&#39;re extremely oversold.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>Wall Street Sees Opportunity in Humana&#39;s Oversold Condition</h2>
Humana Inc., the for-profit health insurance company, has been selling off for over two years. Considering the gains the broader market has registered in this timeframe, the Louisville-based company&#39;s underperformance will be a bitter pill.&nbsp;
Its shares were down more than 50% in that timeframe and went back into trading at 2017 levels. Despite beating analyst expectations in its Q2 earnings report over the summer, things have only gotten worse, with yesterday&#39;s negative update on membership numbers the latest headwind to deal with.&nbsp;
At one point yesterday, Humana shares were trading more than 30% off where they closed last week, resulting in an RSI reading of just 15. This is the stock&#39;s lowest reading in 16 years, a fact that hasn&#39;t gone unnoticed by Wall Street. This isn&#39;t a company to be holding for the long run, but the strong buying action all the way into yesterday&#39;s close suggests there&#39;s a fast and hard bounce kicking off that can be capitalized on.&nbsp;
<h2>Elevance Health&#39;s Oversold RSI Suggests Significant Upside Potential</h2>
Though not quite as extreme as Humana&#39;s, Elevance Health, Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/elv#NYSE">ELV</a>)&#39;s RSI reading of 26 does suggest the Indianapolis health insurer is extremely oversold.
Compared to Humana, however, there&#39;s a lot more to like about Elevance for the long term, not least the fact that the company was trading at all-time highs as recently as July.&nbsp;
While its stock has been softening since the first week of September, it gapped down at yesterday&#39;s open. This was almost certainly off the back of Humana&#39;s negative update, and already, it&#39;s being treated as an entry opportunity.&nbsp;
Elevance shares gained into Wednesday&#39;s close and were trading up in Thursday&#39;s pre-market session. Considering how low their RSI still is, however, there&#39;s clearly a ton more room for them to run.&nbsp;
<h2>BioMarin Stock Holds Firm After Sharp Decline, Bulls Eyeing Comeback</h2>
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmrn#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) shares of biotech stock have been effectively range-bound since 2016.
Pharmaceutical companies often experience this, as they depend heavily on positive results from drug and treatment trials rather than more standard fundamental performance for their stock&#39;s direction.&nbsp;
September gave a good example of just how exposed these companies can be, even to updates from their peers in this regard. When positive results from an Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asnd#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) trial were announced, they were seen as a threat to BioMarins&#39; ongoing Voxzogo trials.&nbsp;
BioMarin shares lost more than 20% immediately, but the bears could not take it any lower. They have been consolidating since then, which suggests the bulls could soon be back in control. With BioMarin&#39;s RSI still only at 26, though, while its MACD edges closer to a bullish crossover, this one has all the feel of a comeback rally.

<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.

Looking Into Ascendis Pharma's Recent Short Interest

Last week, Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) released topline data on Monday from a trial that included 84 children with achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that causes dwarfism and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40882593/ascendis-pharmas-rare-dwarfism-candidate-shows-promise-in-trial-fda-submission-expected-next-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">disproportionate short stature</a>.
Goldman Sachs hosted an investor meeting with BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) Alexander Hardy (President and CEO) and Brian Mueller (EVP, CFO).
They reiterated financial guidance after reviewing their assumptions around Voxzogo competition post-Ascendis Pharma's better-than-expected Phase 3 achondroplasia data.

The analyst notes that management believes a U.S./EU launch by Ascendis Pharma could violate its C-type natriuretic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40885653/despite-being-first-mover-biomarins-voxzogo-for-dwarfism-to-face-pressure-from-asce" rel="noreferrer noopener">peptide (CNP) patents</a>.
However, excluding this concern, the company still expects to reach approximately $4 billion in total revenue for fiscal year 2027, driven by growing Voxzogo adoption in the U.S., aided by its broad label without lower age restrictions, which could provide a competitive edge over Ascendis Pharma.
The company is targeting an adjusted operating margin of low-to-mid 40% (starting at 40% in 2026).
The new structure, announced at an investor event,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investorday.biomarin.com/static-files/95c517e2-36ee-4427-9278-2d87cc4c1460" rel="noreferrer noopener">covers</a> three key business units: skeletal conditions, enzyme therapies, and Roctavian—its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40731810/biomarin-restructures-outlines-roadmap-to-4b-revenues-by-2027" rel="noreferrer noopener">hemophilia A gene therapy</a>.
BioMarin has been implementing a $500 million "cost transformation program"&nbsp;to contribute to non-GAAP operating margin targets set for 2026 and beyond.
Goldman Analyst writes, "We also see external business development as a potential source of upside and diversification beyond BioMarin's guidance. Nonetheless, we note continued investor debate on the outlook given increasing competitive pressure on BioMarin's key growth driver."
The analyst maintains a Buy rating with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMRN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $139</a>.
Price Action: BMRN stock is down 0.57% at $69.09 at the last check on Wednesday.
