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.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Graphic Packaging Holding Stock In The Last 5 Years

Shares of Karat Packaging, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/krt#NASDAQ">KRT</a>) have lost 8.5% since the company reported lower-than-expected second-quarter 2024 revenues and earnings per share on Aug 8, 2024. The quarterly adjusted EPS of 49 cents missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents and declined 29% year over year. The downfall was due to unfavorable year-over-year pricing comparison, higher freight costs and an increase in operating expenses in the quarter.&nbsp;
Including one-time items, EPS was 45 cents compared with the year-ago quarter&#39;s 53 cents.
Total revenues increased 3.5% year over year to $112.6 million. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $114 million. The increase primarily reflected higher volumes, a change in product mix and the inclusion of online sales platform fees.
