HP's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 42.82 million shares sold short, which is 5.08% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.54 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.

<h3>HP Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729868420_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for HP 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 HP'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>, HP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.64%, 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>

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth $2,200 Today

<h4>Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Lenovo consolidated its place as the world&rsquo;s leading PC maker in the third quarter, boosting its share of the market to 24% from 22.7% a year earlier, according to IDC</li>
<li>The company&rsquo;s gross margins trail its rivals as it sacrifices profitability to gain a foothold in the business of providing infrastructure for cloud and data center operators</li>
</ul>
By Doug Young
Profits or market share, which is more important?
If you&rsquo;re a computer investor, the answer appears to be market share, at least right now. That factor is currently playing to the advantage of&nbsp;Lenovo Group Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lnvgf#OTC">LNVGF</a>), which further consolidated its position as the world&rsquo;s leading PC seller in the third quarter, according to new data from industry tracker IDC this week.
Lenovo and longtime rivals&nbsp;HP&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hpq#NYSE">HPQ</a>) and&nbsp;Dell&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dell#NYSE">DELL</a>) have been locked in a race these last few years to find the next &ldquo;big thing&rdquo; for their maturing traditional PC businesses, and have largely settled on artificial intelligence (AI) as that next major driver. Accordingly, all three are rushing to develop not only AI-optimized PCs, but servers and software that are the backbone of cloud and data centers that are increasingly taking over the role of computing once done on traditional laptops and desktop PCs.
In such a landscape, it&rsquo;s perhaps not unreasonable that investors are focused on market share over profits, since such market share is a key pathway to selling new AI-based products when demand begins to pick up. But while Lenovo, HP and Dell are all touting their AI efforts, consumers and businesses have yet to start buying such products in big numbers, IDC said.
&ldquo;While we expect AI to reach ubiquity at some point at the end of this decade, the ramp up towards mass market will take longer than expected, well into 2026,&rdquo; said Linn Huang, IDC&rsquo;s research vice president of devices and displays, in a statement with its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS52644924">global PC sales</a>&nbsp;data for the third quarter.
Huang said the major obstacles holding back higher adoption for AI-optimized PCs is a lack of software and applications that can take advantage of such high-powered products. It noted that much of the broader PC industry&rsquo;s growth recently has been coming at the lower end of the market, rather than at the premium end that includes AI models.
That broader market actually contracted by 2.4% in the third quarter to 68.8 million units shipped, according to IDC. Lenovo managed to buck that trend by boosting its shipments 3% during the quarter to 16.5 million units, raising its share of the market to 24% from 22.7% in the year-ago quarter.
HP also managed to post 0.4% growth, also defying the overall market&rsquo;s contraction, raising its global market share to 13.6% from 13.5%, making it the second largest brand. Dell&rsquo;s PC shipments fell 4% to 9.8 million units, dropping it share to 14.3% of the market, while Taiwan&rsquo;s&nbsp;Asustek&nbsp;was a relative winner, finishing fourth with 10% growth to take 7.9% of the market.
Lenovo&rsquo;s stock fell 7% in the three trading days after the announcement, though much of that was in sync with a broader selloff for Chinese shares following a major rally for the group over the month before that. The stock is down slightly so far this year, in sharp contrast to a 25% gain for the broader Hang Seng Index due to the recent stock rally.
<h3>Still Highly Valued</h3>
Lenovo&rsquo;s lackluster stock performance this year could owe partly to the fact that it&rsquo;s no longer considered a China stock, since it&rsquo;s truly a global company that derives its revenue from all major global markets. Still, the company&rsquo;s base in China has raised a few concerns amid recent tensions with the West, which may have been a factor in the company&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://thebambooworks.com/lenovo-makes-critical-calculation-with-middle-east-pivot/">recent plan</a>&nbsp;to build a major new production base in the Middle East.
In terms of valuation ratios, Lenovo is still a relative favorite among investors with a price-to-earnings (P/E) of 17. That&rsquo;s ahead of 13 for HP and 14 for Asustek, though it trails the 23 for Dell, whose shares have gotten a major boost over the past year on big hopes for its AI-optimized servers.
Investors certainly aren&rsquo;t interested in Lenovo for its gross margins, which are a key indicator of how profitably a company conducts its core business. The company&rsquo;s gross margin stood at 17.2% in its latest fiscal year, well behind the 21.4% for HP and 22.4% for Dell and also trailing the 17.8% for Asustek. What&rsquo;s worse, Lenovo&rsquo;s gross margin actually dropped to 16.6% in its latest fiscal quarter through June from 17.5% a year earlier.
That brings us back to the market share versus profits issue we raised earlier, since a big factor behind Lenovo&rsquo;s eroding profitability appears to be its focus on gaining share in an important segment of the market. That segment is infrastructure owners, which includes cloud computing center operators, which are some of the most aggressive buyers of AI technology and could become just as important as consumer and enterprise PC buyers in the future.
Lenovo reported its overall revenue rose 20% year-on-year to $15.4 million in the three months to June, largely driven by a 65% jump in revenue to more than $3 billion for its infrastructure solutions group, one of the company&rsquo;s three main business segments. Its other two segments, including the one that accounts for most of its PC sales, both grew by far slower rates of about 10%.
That means the infrastructure division, whose core products include servers and storage devices, now accounts for about one-fifth of the company&rsquo;s overall sales, and the ratio is likely to grow further still. In fact, Lenovo said in its latest report that such non-PC products accounted for a record 47% of its revenue in its latest quarter, putting such products on track to overtake PC sales quite possibly by the end of 2024.
The problem right now for Lenovo is that its infrastructure division that achieved such stellar sales growth is also the only one of its three main segments that reported an operating loss in its latest fiscal quarter. But at least that loss is shrinking, falling to $37 million in the three months to June from $60 million a year earlier.
At the end of the day, Lenovo and its peers are doing whatever they feel is necessary to position themselves for the AI era that will be the next big growth driver for their industry. Investors seem willing to accept that companies may need to sacrifice profits to improve their positioning to do that, at least for the next year or two.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla Stock Prediction For 2024</h2>
When buying a stock for a longer time horizon, it is important for investors to assess where they think the stock is headed in the future.
When mapping a stock's future trajectory, investors should consider factors including the future earnings expectations and expected performance against a benchmark.
Tesla's revenue has grown at an average rate of 41.16% annually over the past 5 years. The average 1-year price target from analysts is $226.86, representing an expected -8.53% downside in 2025.
While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, investors should also look at a stock's historical performance when compared to both a benchmark index and the company's peers. Shares of Tesla have seen an annualized return of -2.61%, underperforming the S&amp;P500 index by 12.46%. This compares to 3.79% growth in the overall Consumer Discretionary sector. Tesla has a beta of 0.62.
Price Action: TSLA stock is up 3.33% at $248.67 at last check on Friday.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts' Views On 3 Tech Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) climbed in early trading on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40901313/compass-minerals-torrid-holdings-icahn-enterprises-hewlett-packard-enterprise-and-other-big-stocks-m">along with some other stocks</a>.
The company is poised to benefit from cost cuts, Juniper-related synergies and AI optionality, according to Bank of America Securities.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58e64305b85e9300014c97f9/wamsi-mohan">Analyst Wamsi Mohan</a> upgraded the rating from Neutral to Buy, while raising the price target from $21 to $24.
The Thesis: The Juniper acquisition will lower the company's reliance on compute and "shift focus to the higher margin networking business," Mohan said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The analyst mentioned five reasons for the upgrade:
<ul>
<li>Significant cost cuts driven by new CFO Marie Myers, who has a proven track record at HP Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>)</li>
<li>Cyclical recovery across servers, storage and networking</li>
<li>Increased revenues and cost synergies from the Juniper acquisition, which is expected to close soon</li>
<li>Margin recovery in High-Performance Compute (HPC)</li>
<li>AI-related benefits, "as Enterprise/Sovereign demand increases"</li>
</ul>
The tech company could leverage its partnership with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and "capitalize on Juniper&#8217;s Mist platform utilizing A.I. in the networking market," he further wrote.
Price Action: Hewlett Packard shares spiked 6.09% to $18.28 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
