Insights From Analysts
According to the Yardeni Research&#8217;s QuickTakes by Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein, &#8220;Anything is possible in Trump World.&#8221;
&#8220;We can&#8217;t rule out the possibility that a bear market started on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 rose to a record high. It could be like the &#8216;flash crashes&#8217; that occurred during 1962 and 1987. It could happen quickly and reverse just as quickly. So the selloff could provide buying opportunities, especially in overvalued names that are now less so,&#8221; the note stated.
According to the note, Trump administration&#8217;s rapid-fire policy initiatives are stress-testing the economy, which has been remarkably resilient so far, and raising fears of a recession.
The current bull market, which began in October 2022, has entered its third year. According to Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, it is normal to see some fluctuations in the third year of a bull market.

While the conflict around tariffs has raised the speculation of a slowdown and recession, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates had a contrarian view. According to him, &#8220;The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan.&#8221;

<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.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cognizant Tech Solns's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.79%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

McDonald's Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MCD/earnings">opening bell, on Monday, Feb. 10, 2025.</a>
Analysts expect the Chicago-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.86 per share, down from $2.95 per share in the year-ago period. McDonald&#8217;s projects quarterly revenue of $6.48 billion, compared to $6.41 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Jan. 21, Cognizant Technology Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>) and McDonald's have extended their partnership with a multi-year renewal.
With the recent buzz around McDonald&#8217;s, some investors may also be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. Currently, McDonald&#8217;s offers an annual dividend yield of 2.41%, a quarterly dividend amount of $1.77 per share (7.08 a year).  
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $249,323 or around 847 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $49,747 or around 169 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($7.08 in this case). So, $6,000 / $7.08 = 847 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $7.08 = 169 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
MCD Price Action: Shares of McDonald&#8217;s gained 1.9% to close at $294.36 on Thursday.

It's a mixed session on Wall Street, with major indices struggling for direction as investors hold their breath ahead of a key jobs report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">set for Friday morning.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.3%, while the Dow Jones slipped 0.1% and small caps held steady.

Oil prices had a volatile session. Crude initially dipped as speculation mounted over a potential Trump-Putin meeting as early as this month or next, raising hopes for possible peace talks in Ukraine. Prices rebounded after the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Iran's oil network.
Gold softened, dropping 0.6% from record highs and snapping a five-session winning streak.

마이크로스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)의 CEO인 마이클 세일러는 도널드 트럼프가 이끄는 공화당의 승리가 지난 4년간 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 강세에 "가장 큰" 촉매제였다고 평가했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 목요일(14일) CNBC와의 인터뷰에서 마이클 세일러는 "공화당의 붉은 물결"이 비트코인 그리고 광범위한 암호화폐 산업에 "믿을 수 없을 정도로 상서로운" 일이라고 말했다.
비트코인 강세론자인 마이클 세일러는 게리 겐슬러 현 증권거래위원장이 물러날 것이라는 추측 속에서 증권거래위원회가 더 우호적이 될 것이라고 예상하면서 다음과 같이 말했다.
"암호화폐 업계에 매우 좋은 소식이다. 친비트코인 정책이 많아질 것이고, 디지털 자산 프레임워크를 보게 될 것이다. 암호화폐와의 전쟁은 종식될 것이다.&#8221;
선거의 불확실성이 사라지면서 세일러는 가까운 미래에 비트코인에 대한 주요 약세 이벤트도 발생하지 않을 것이라며 다음과 같이 흥분 섞인 목소리로 덧붙이기도 했다.
"비트코인 10만 달러 기념 파티를 계획하고 있는데, 아마도 우리집에서 새해 전야에 개최할 것 같다. 당연히 비트코인이 11월이나 12월에 10만 달러를 돌파할 것이라고 생각한다.&#8221;

왜 중요한가: 마이클 세일러의 낙관적인 발언은 마이크로스트레티지의 지속적인 주가 상승과 맞물려 있다.
마이크로스트레티지는 이번 주 초 사상 최고치를 기록하면서 9월 6일 이후 500억 달러가 증가한 722억 6,000만 달러의 시가총액을 기록했다. <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%B9%84%ED%8A%B8%EC%BD%94%EC%9D%B8-%EB%8C%80%EB%A6%AC-%EC%A2%85%EB%AA%A9-%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%AC%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EB%9E%98%ED%8B%B0%EC%A7%80-%EC%A7%80%EB%82%9C-2%EA%B0%9C%EC%9B%94/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이러한 상승폭</a>은 포드 자동차(F)와 코그니전트 테크놀로지 솔루션즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>)의 시가총액을 넘는 수준이다.
비트코인트레저리스(<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bitcointreasuries.net</a>)의 데이터에 따르면, 비트코인의 최대 기업 보유자로 유명한 마이크로스트레티지는 이 기사를 작성하는 시점 기준 127억 달러가 넘는 미실현 이익을 보유하고 있다. 또한 더 많은 비트코인을 축적하기 위해 향후 3년간 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">420억 달러에 달하는 주식 및 부채 자금을 조달할 계획을 발표했다</a>.

9월 초 이후 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 강세 전환은 마이크로스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) 주가에 긍정적으로 반영되었다. 마이크로스트레티지의 시가총액이 지난 2개월 동안 500억 달러 증가했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 비트코인 대리 종몰으로 널리 알려진 마이크로스트레티지의 주가는 이번 주 초 350달러를 넘어서며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41892752/microstrategy-shares-hit-24-year-high-jumps-most-since-dot-com-bubble-as-bitcoin-trades-at-record-levels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">사상 최고가를 기록했다</a>. 이는 2000년 3월 닷컴 버블 이후 최고치였다.
이러한 랠리로 인해 마이크로스트레티지의 시가총액은 722억 6,000만 달러로 상승해 9월 6일 이후 500억 달러(225%)가 증가했다. 비교해 보자면 이러한 상승폭은 참고로, 이 상승폭은 포드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>)와 코그니전트 테크놀로지 솔루션즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>)의 총 시가총액보다도 큰 규모다.
마이크로스트레티지 주가는 올해 들어 374% 상승하여 "매그니피센트 세븐" 등 월가에서 가장 인기 있는 주식 중 일부를 능가하는 성과를 거두었다.
이러한 상승세는 10만 달러 돌파를 눈앞에 두고 있는 비트코인의 기록적인 상승세와 맞물렸다. 9월 6일 이후 비트코인의 가치는 60% 이상 급등했다.

마이크로스트레티지의 평균 매입 가격은 119억 2천만 달러이고, 비트코인 구매를 통해 130억 달러 이상의 미실현 수익을 올렸다. 또한 3분기 실적 보고서에서 향후 3년간 420억 달러에 달하는 주식 및 부채 자금을 조달하여 더 많은 비트코인을 축적할 계획이라고 밝혔다.
