With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Dec. 13:
Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>): The social media and messaging company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which is likely related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42369266/meta-reddit-stocks-climb-record-highs-as-tiktoks-battle-against-us-ban-continues-after-court-ruling">continued fight to ban</a> TikTok in the U.S. 
Snap and TikTok social media rivals such as Facebook, Instagram and Reddit could benefit if the app is banned. TikTok lost a fight with the U.S. appeals court recently with parent company ByteDance facing a deadline of Jan. 19, 2025, to sell the U.S. arm to a non-Chinese owner or face app stores removing the platform in America. 
While this could be good news for Snap, the ban is far from over with ByteDance continuing to fight and also concerns that President-elect Donald Trump could halt the ban when he takes over the White House. Snap and other social media platforms are also being targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237670/meta-tiktok-snapchat-could-face-32m-fines-as-australia-enforces-social-media-ban-for-under-16s-while-exempting-youtube">in several countries </a>and states over age restrictions on usage of the platforms, which could push the stock down further.
Snap stock was down on the week, as shown on the Benzinga Pro chart below. The stock is down 30% year-to-date in 2024.

Bank of America upgraded shares from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $290. The analyst said strategic partnerships and pricing could help drive future growth.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="508" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271.png" alt="" class="wp-image-692035" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271.png 995w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271-300x153.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13134125/Screenshot-271-768x392.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px" /></a></figure>
Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>): The semiconductor stock is trading higher on the week, which comes with peers reporting results and less than two weeks after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42302752/marvell-technology-stock-climbs-after-better-than-expected-q3-results-strong-q4-guidance"> reported third-quarter</a> financial results on Dec. 3.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

BofA Securities reports that the Life Sciences Tools sector struggled in fiscal year 2024.
Spending by pharmaceutical and biotech companies dropped after pandemic-related overspending, and demand in China stayed weak. This led some Life Sciences companies to lower their already-conservative fiscal year revenue forecasts as the year progressed.
For most of fiscal year 2024, Life Sciences company valuations remained higher than pre-COVID levels but declined after the U.S. elections.
Looking ahead to fiscal year 2025, initial forecasts and management comments suggest a mixed outlook.
The first half of the year is expected to mirror the challenges of late fiscal year 2024, while the second half could see improvement due to easier year-over-year comparisons, potential economic stimulus in China, and a broader market recovery.
After being cautious for most of the past year, the analyst sees some positive signs. The bioprocess market, important for certain Core Tools vendors, has been improving steadily and is expected to stabilize in 2025.
Although China&#8217;s stimulus has taken longer than expected, it is starting to lead to some new orders.
Valuations are still higher than the historical average, but they aren&#8217;t as high as in previous years, creating some good opportunities for stock picking.
BofA upgraded Danaher Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) to Buy from Neutral, maintaining the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $290</a>.
In 2024, Danaher struggled with challenges like reduced bioprocessing inventory, a slowdown in China, and lower spending from biotech and pharma customers.

Analysts believe that bioprocessing, an important market, is nearly back to normal and should see steady demand in 2025.
Although China is still facing difficulties, BofA expects a strong increase in orders in the fourth quarter due to stimulus efforts, with positive effects likely starting in 2025.
BofA has also upgraded Revvity (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RVTY#NYSE">RVTY</a>) from Neutral to Buy with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RVTY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $138</a>.
The company is at a turning point after making significant business changes in recent years. While management did not provide guidance for fiscal year 2025 at the recent Analyst Day, the long-term strategy remains largely the same.
Even though the market is stabilizing in FY25, Revvity&#8217;s growth is expected to be below its 6-8% target range. As short-term industry challenges continue to lessen, BofA expects Revvity to perform well, bolstered by recent acquisitions.
Price Action: At last check Friday, DHR stock was down 0.15% at $234.14, and RVTY stock was down 1.56% at $114.21.

<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.
