Expert Ratings For Kinsale Cap Gr

QuantumScape's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QS#NYSE">QS</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 62.03 million shares sold short, which is 16.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.11 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>Comparing QuantumScape'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.

Tron (CRYPTO: TRON) founder Justin Sun on Thursday announced he has purchased Maurizio Cattelan&#8216;s controversial artwork, Comedian, for $6.24 million at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41562698/maurizio-cattelans-viral-duct-taped-banana-artwork-is-up-for-auction-again-this-time-at-an-">Sotheby's auction in New York</a>.
What Happened: The piece, a banana duct-taped to a wall, has become a cultural icon, bridging the worlds of conceptual art, internet memes and the cryptocurrency community.
Sotheby's originally estimated the artwork to fetch between $1 million and $1.5 million. 
However, intense bidding saw the price soar, culminating in a winning bid placed by Jen Hua, Sotheby's Deputy Chairman, on Sun's behalf. 
The entire process lasted just six minutes, underscoring the artwork's enduring appeal.
Following the sale, Sun <a href="https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1859403540315373942">said</a>, "This is not just an artwork; it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history."
Originally unveiled in 2019, Comedian is part of an edition of three works with two artist's proofs. 
Its certificate of authenticity includes detailed instructions for replacing the banana and duct tape as needed, emphasizing its conceptual nature over its physical components. 
The artwork has been a commentary on value and consumerism.

Speaking about the piece in 2021, Cattelan said, "To me, Comedian was not a joke; it was a sincere commentary and a reflection on what we value."
The banana in the artwork was reportedly purchased for just $0.35 earlier that day, according to the New York Times. Sun added a performative twist by announcing plans to eat the banana in the coming days. 
"I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture," Sun sai. 
This act follows similar performances by artist David Datuna and a South Korean art student in 2019 and 2023, respectively.
Sun's high-profile acquisition also rippled through the crypto market, particularly among meme coins inspired by the artwork. 
The largest unaffiliated Comedian-themed token, Ban, dropped 37% following the auction, with its market cap falling from $241 million to $151 million before partially recovering to $175 million. 
Another Comedian-themed token launched the day before the auction suffered a complete collapse, plunging from a theoretical market cap of $23.5 billion to just $281, according to DEX Screener.

Nano Nuclear Energy shares are trading higher after the company announced that the former CFO of the US Department of Energy, John Vonglis, will take on an active role as the executive director of global government affairs.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is set to expand its domestic production capacity with new factories planned in Kaohsiung, Tainan, and Taichung. National Development Council Minister Paul Liu announced on Thursday, following concerns about Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s overseas expansion projects in countries like Japan, the United States, and Germany.
During a legislative session, Liu emphasized that Taiwan Semiconductor plans to build a new factory in Taiwan yearly over the next decade, Taiwan News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5976412" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The Taiwanese government has pledged to ensure adequate water and electricity supplies to support these facilities, which are critical for semiconductor production.
Economics Minister Kuo Jyh-huei reinforced the commitment to domestic growth, stating that Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s expansion aligns with Taiwan&#8217;s strategic semiconductor objectives.
However, discussions around the company&#8217;s new plant in Arizona added a layer of complexity as conflicting statements emerged regarding an upcoming celebration for its completion. 
While Kuo suggested such an event was imminent, Taiwan Semiconductor founder Morris Chang denied knowledge of it, sparking debate among legislators.
Liu, a Taiwan Semiconductor board member, clarified that he was unaware of any planned celebrations but confirmed he had been invited to a board meeting in the United States in February.
In November, the Biden administration sanctioned Taiwan Semiconductor, restricting its sale of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42089611/taiwan-semiconductor-faces-china-challenges-amid-potential-trump-return-and-geopolitical-tensions" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced AI chips to China</a>. Meanwhile, during his campaign, former President Donald Trump outlined plans to impose tariffs on Chinese exports, continuing his criticism of the country.
Under the CHIPS Act, Taiwan Semiconductor secured $6.6 billion in U.S. subsidies and proposed up to $5 billion in loans to support A16 chip production in Arizona.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s recent activities highlight its balancing act between domestic and international investments, ensuring global competitiveness while maintaining a strong presence in Taiwan.
The company is accelerating its expansion, aiming to establish over ten semiconductor facilities worldwide by 2025, boosting advanced production capacity.
Significant projects include 2nm fabs in Taiwan and a second plant in Japan&#8217;s Kumamoto region, which will break ground in 2025. In addition, Taiwan Semiconductor is advancing facilities in Arizona and Dresden and innovating in advanced packaging technologies such as CoWoS and SoIC.
The company anticipates record capital expenditures of $34 billion—$38 billion in 2025 to meet escalating demand for cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the last check on Thursday, TSM stock was lower by 1.77% at $185.02 premarket.

Kura Oncology shares are trading lower. The company announced it entered into a global strategic collaboration with Kyowa Kirin to develop and commercialize ziftomenib.

From cost savings to ensuring consistent quality, the foundation of every successful investment begins with reliable seeds. Developing such genetics is no small feat; it takes decades, even generations, to achieve perfection. Few companies embody this legacy better than Dutch Passion Seeds, an Amsterdam-based pioneer founded in 1987.
With a track record of innovation, including introducing feminized seeds, Dutch Passion has built a reputation for producing traceable, stable genetics, under the highest standards.
"Everything starts with a seed," Francesco, global sales director of Dutch Passion Seeds told Benzinga Cannabis in an exclusive interview. "Without good genetics, there's no foundation for cultivation or scaling operations."

You can't afford to miss out if you&#8217;re serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Global Mission Rooted In Quality</h3>
Francesco emphasized Dutch Passion&#8217;s commitment to maintaining quality through centralized production in the Netherlands. &#8220;All our seeds are produced in-house, allowing us to control every aspect of the process.&#8221; This strategy ensures consistency and upholds their reputation, even as demand for seeds continues to rise globally.
The company's infrastructure includes expert breeders—some with decades of experience—who pass down their craft to the next generation. For example, the celebrated Orange Bud strain has been cultivated by the same breeder for over 35 years.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lessons From Canada: A Mature Market's Impact On Cultivation And Sales</h3>
Canada, one of the first major countries to legalize recreational cannabis, has been both a significant opportunity and a learning curve for Dutch Passion. Before legalization, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada-cannabis">Canada</a> was a leading market for the company's seeds, driven by high demand from home growers. However, Francesco explained that legalization shifted consumer behavior, leading to a notable decline in home cultivation.
"When legal cannabis products became widely available, domestic cultivation dropped significantly," he said. This trend, Francesco noted, has been replicated in other countries following legalization, such as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thailand-cannabis"> Thailand</a>. For Dutch Passion, the shift required adaptation, including launching branded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pre-rolls">pre-rolls</a> and flowers in Canada.
Despite an initial sales peak, Francesco acknowledged that the Canadian market has become increasingly saturated, with competition and price pressures impacting profitability. &#8220;We saw strong demand for about two years post-legalization, but the market is now stabilizing at lower levels.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emerging Markets: Thailand And Germany</h3>
Thailand is quickly becoming a major cannabis seed market in Asia, and Dutch Passion is capitalizing on the opportunity. Building on a year of growing seed distribution and local partnerships, the company recently opened a compliant dispensary in Bangkok. Francesco called the move essential for navigating this dynamic market.
Meanwhile, Germany's impending recreational cannabis legalization represents a game-changing opportunity.
Dutch Passion plans to supply clones and eventually, branded flowers to German consumers. "The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">German market</a> will reshape Europe's cannabis landscape," Francesco said. Collaborating with local partners is integral to their strategy, as is leveraging their strong genetics portfolio to meet rising demand.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chile And Argentina</h3>
Chile has served as Dutch Passion's gateway to Latin America, thanks to its progressive stance on cannabis seeds. "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/05/32581583/new-law-against-drug-trafficking-allows-medical-cannabis-use-in-chile">Chile</a> legalized cannabis seeds, making it an ideal market for our entry," Francesco explained. The country's burgeoning growing shops and cultural acceptance of cannabis have positioned it as a regional leader.
Argentina, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41521064/controversy-over-medical-cannabis-exclusion-as-argentina-issues-new-hemp-regulation-experts-weig">offers untapped potential, but navigating its regulatory framework remains challenging</a>. Francesco praised the country&#8217;s medicinal cannabis laws, which allow patients to grow their plants. However, he noted that the Instituto Nacional de Semillas (INASE), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/argentina-cannabis">Argentina's regulatory body</a>, faces overwhelming demands with limited resources.
"INASE is under incredible pressure with over 850 registration requests, yet there is only one person dedicated to cannabis applications. It's an unsustainable workload," he said. Streamlining these processes could unlock Argentina's potential as a major player in cannabis genetics.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Challenges In Argentina's Import Market</h3>
Argentina's restrictive import framework and complex customs regulations pose significant barriers for global players like Dutch Passion. Francesco acknowledged that bureaucratic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40881984/more-than-3-billion-at-stake-how-regulatory-red-tape-is-holding-back-australias-cannabis-legaliz">red tape</a> and inconsistent import policies make it difficult for international companies to establish a foothold in the country.
However, he highlighted the potential for collaboration. "We've seen legalization processes in many countries and can offer our expertise to Argentine authorities to build a system that benefits everyone—from growers to regulators."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing Costs And Innovation</h3>
Operating in the Netherlands comes with higher production costs due to labor and energy expenses. Despite this, Francesco emphasized that Dutch Passion remains competitive by offering a diverse catalog with price points ranging from affordable staples to premium, limited-edition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39486937/is-old-school-better-how-nostalgia-cannabis-vintage-strains-are-reshaping-cannabis-markets">genetics</a>. "Our pricing reflects the quality and innovation behind each strain," he said.
This approach also allows them to cater to both small-scale growers and larger cultivators in need of bulk seeds. For the latter, Dutch Passion provides wholesale packages of up to 100 seeds per order, ensuring accessibility for commercial operations without compromising quality.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Forward</h3>

Francesco emphasized the importance of adaptability in an industry shaped by shifting regulations and consumer preferences.
"Our future lies in creating strains that maximize terpenes and cannabinoids while improving resistance to environmental stresses," he said.
