<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Blackstone has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Blackstone'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Blackstone's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.92%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall.

Looking Into Micron Technology's Recent Short Interest

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">SpaceX's valuation has been skyrocketing recently (pun fully intended)</h4>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">But non-accredited investors can't get involved…until now.</h4>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Here's how you can get your feet wet in the $1.8 trillion space economy: </h4>
Most companies in the space industry are private because of:
• Government contracts
• National security concerns
• High R&amp;D costs + long timelines
But thankfully, there's a backdoor entrance to this sector.
I'm talking about a little-known government program.
It's called the Regulation A+ securities exemption.
It allows private companies to temporarily raise capital from the general public without undergoing an IPO.
And right now, a private company called&nbsp;Starfighters Space&nbsp;is doing exactly this.
Let me break down the details of the company and how to get involved &#x1f447;
Starfighters Space is an aerospace and defense company specializing in hypersonic testing and small satellite launch services.
They operate the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready Lockheed F-104 aircraft.
How are they involved in the space industry?
Starfighters uses its supersonic F-104s to simulate and support space-related missions.
Such as:
• Testing spaceflight hardware
• Simulating suborbital spaceflights
• Conducting microgravity experiments
• Launching small payloads into the upper atmosphere
And so much more.
In a pinch,&nbsp;Starfighters&nbsp;helps companies put their satellites into space.
A commercial space application that's been picking up momentum recently.
This chart speaks for itself.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfbfs-5balTO6d1Scwa9NkG6BY3_bHEXjoFBLE3dYifEmh1iMjn7i23IdXpBE7d-sFwJLfpxsRfc3Q4bxpY5dKuWq_fiM7N6ZRpvsYMc4nHQtcgYeZUXaDt9patsrGDTFjbruagBw?key=An3c9u52TWn-cgVLN6x4zA" alt="" /></figure>
Why the sudden surge?
Thanks to Elon's SpaceX and Starlink.
Elon has created an explosion of investment interest in the space economy.
Motivating other companies and VCs to get involved.
The opportunity to invest in&nbsp;Starfighters Space&nbsp;won't last much longer.
They've already raised $21.7M of their $35M goal so far.
Once they reach their goal, this rare investment window will close.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd236XHhTU4v_qxvyY3wrNCa2qbXoJ0SnMuGtsZAZh6nAihJTJ0pwBqPbdZS1yfSRI7v94K_WYY9YXl4VP4KjE_kX1ek_7dtEOUfAulJhBA_ssjjPlinIOFr7DmXMr-OtLaJgifiw?key=An3c9u52TWn-cgVLN6x4zA" alt="" /></figure>
There's so much more to be bullish about.

An Opportunity To Invest In The $1.8 Trillion Space Economy

In the current session, AstraZeneca Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) is trading at $66.27, after a 2.14% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.16%, and in the past year, by 13.98%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747242024_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at AstraZeneca P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
AstraZeneca has a better P/E ratio of 27.25 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 27.19 of the Pharmaceuticals industry. Ideally, one might believe that AstraZeneca Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747242024_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Technology giant and video game company Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) is among the companies that could be hit hard by tariffs on countries such as China and Japan.
The company has several ideas on how to offset tariffs from President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Sony reported fourth-quarter financials Wednesday with quarterly sales of $17.24 billion, down 24% year-over-year and coming in shy of a Street consensus estimate of $20.4 billion.
The company's Game &amp; Network Services segment saw sales down 4.2% year-over-year for the quarter. Sony said it sold 2.8 million PlayStation 5s in the quarter, down from 4.5 million in last year's fourth quarter and down from 9.5 million sold in the third quarter, which included the Christmas shopping season.
Along with its financial results, Sony shared guidance for the next year, which included comments that the company could face a $680 million impact from tariffs.
Sony is one of several video game companies that has considered raising the price of consoles to help offset tariffs. The company said Wednesday it will also consider moving manufacturing to the U.S. to avoid costly tariffs.
Sony Chief Financial Officer Lin Tao said the company is considering "passing on" tariffs to consumers to protect profits, as reported by The Verge. While Tao didn't name the PlayStation 5 specifically, this would confirm previous reports that the console could get more expensive for gamers in the U.S.
Along with potential price increases, Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki highlighted the potential to move PlayStation 5 production to the United States. Totoki said the console "can be produced locally," and said this could be "an efficient strategy" to offset tariffs.
"Has to be considered going forward," Totoki added.
Why It's Important: The PlayStation 5 is one of the top-selling video game consoles of all time and has sold significantly more units than the Xbox Series X/S from Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) during the current console cycle.
In the past 12 months, Sony has shipped 18.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles, bringing the lifetime total to 77.7 million, according to the report.
Sony manufactures the majority of PlayStation 5 hardware in China, which makes the tariffs on the country costly to the company's gaming division.
While the tariff amount declined from over 100% to 30% in a 90-day pause, Sony has to carefully consider whether it eats this cost, passes it onto the consumer or considers making future changes like its manufacturing processes.
Sony may want to have control of the situation and any potential tariff struggles down the road with the PlayStation 6 consol, rumored to be released in 2027 or 2028 and to help kick off the next console cycle.
SONY Price Action: Sony stock is up 1.22% to $24.84 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $15.67 to $26.08. Sony stock is up 18% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 50% in the last year.
