<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 Pool 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 Pool'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>, Pool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.87%, which means the company has more 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 Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Engaging In Options Activity, Manuel Perez de la Mesa Exercises Options Valued At $7.50M In Pool

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43451833/warren-buffetts-1m-bet-why-simple-index-funds-crushed-hedge-funds-by-7-1-to-2-2-over-a-decade">Warren Buffett's</a> Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B))&nbsp; made some big moves in the last quarter, shifting its investments in response to changing market conditions.&nbsp;
<a href="https://13f.info/13f/000095012325002701-berkshire-hathaway-inc-q4-2024">A regulatory filing</a> released on Feb. 14, showed that Berkshire slashed its stake in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), cutting its shares from over 1 billion to about 680 million by the end of last year. The drop reduced Berkshire's ownership from over 13% to 11%, bringing the value of the investment from about $41 billion to under $30 billion.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Portfolio Adjustments</h2>
Beyond Bank of America, Berkshire adjusted several other financial holdings. According to the filing, the firm sold 74% of its Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) stake, 18% of its Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) position, and 54% of its shares in Nu Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>).&nbsp;
It also trimmed investments in Charter Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>), Louisiana-Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>), and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>). The changes indicate a move away from financial stocks and select industries.
At the same time, Berkshire made a notable addition, buying a $1.2 billion stake in Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), the company behind popular beers like Corona and Modelo. As per market trends, consumer staples tend to hold up well in uncertain economic times, making this a strategic shift toward more stable investments.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Berkshire also increased its holdings in companies tied to steady consumer demand. Its stake in Domino's Pizza (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) grew by 86%, and its investment in Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>) jumped by 48%.&nbsp;
These moves suggest confidence in businesses that remain relevant regardless of market conditions—whether people are tightening their budgets or not, they still order pizza and maintain their pools.
Not all holdings made the cut. Berkshire fully exited Ulta Beauty (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) despite only acquiring shares in the second quarter of 2024.&nbsp;
See Also: Many don&#8217;t know there are tax benefits when buying a unit as an investment —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares"> Here&#8217;s how to invest in real estate by mirroring BlackRock's big move</a>
It also sold off its positions in two major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&amp;P 500—SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>). This suggests a more targeted approach rather than following the broader market.
Berkshire's cash pile has reached record levels. According to its <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">financial reports</a>, the company sold about $133 billion worth of stocks in the first nine months of 2024 while buying less than $6 billion.&nbsp;
Share buybacks also slowed, with under $3 billion spent compared to nearly $70 billion over the previous four years, <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/warren-buffett-dumped-stocks-built-a-dollar300-billion-cash-pile-and-updated-his/pgecrnn">according to Business Insider</a>.&nbsp; These moves helped Berkshire's cash reserves soar past $300 billion for the first time, nearly doubling from $168 billion at the start of the year, the report added.&nbsp;

또한 차터 커뮤니케이션즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>), 루이지애나-퍼시픽(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>) 및 T-모바일 US(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)에 대한 투자도 줄였다. 이러한 변화는 금융 주식과 일부 산업에 대한 투자 비중을 줄이려는 의도를 나타낸다.
동시에 버크셔는 주목할 만한 추가 투자를 하였으며, 인기 있는 맥주 브랜드인 코로나와 모델로로 알려진 컨스텔레이션 브랜드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>)에 12억 달러 지분을 매입했다. 시장 동향에 따라 소비재는 불확실한 경제 상황에서도 안정적인 성과를 보이는 경향이 있어, 이는 보다 안정적인 투자로의 전략적 전환으로 볼 수 있다.
트렌드: &#8216;Scrolling To UBI&#8217; — 딜로이트의 가장 빠르게 성장하는 소프트웨어 회사가 사용자가 휴대폰으로 돈을 벌 수 있게 합니다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">최소 1,000달러로 주당 0.26달러로 오늘 투자할 수 있습니다.</a>
버크셔는 또한 안정적인 소비자 수요와 관련된 기업들의 지분을 늘렸다. 도미노 피자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>)의 지분이 86% 증가하였고, 풀 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>)에 대한 투자가 48% 증가했다.
이러한 움직임은 시장 상황에 관계없이 여전히 관련성이 있는 사업에 대한 신뢰를 나타낸다. 사람들의 예산이 긴축되든 그렇지 않든, 피자를 주문하고 수영장을 유지하는 것은 여전히 필요하다.
모든 보유 주식이 지속적으로 유지된 것은 아니다. 버크셔는 2분기에 주식을 매입했음에도 불구하고 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)에 대해 완전히 매각하였다.
또한 참고: 많은 사람들이 투자로 유닛을 구매할 때 세금 혜택이 있다는 것을 모릅니다 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares">부동산에 투자하는 방법은 블랙록의 대규모 이동을 모방하는 것입니다.</a>
버크셔는 또한 S&amp;P 500을 추적하는 두 개의 주요 상장지수펀드(ETF)인 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)와 뱅가드 S&amp;P 500 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>)의 보유 지분을 매각하였다. 이는 전체 시장을 따르기보다는 보다 목표 지향적인 접근 방식을 취하겠다는 의도를 나타낸다.
버크셔의 현금 보유액은 사상 최고 수준에 도달했다. <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">재무 보고서</a>에 따르면, 이 회사는 2024년 첫 9개월 동안 약 1,330억 달러 상당의 주식을 매각하고 60억 달러 미만을 매입했다. 주식 매입도 감소하여 이전 4년 동안 거의 700억 달러에 비해 30억 달러 미만이 지출되었다. <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/warren-buffett-dumped-stocks-built-a-dollar300-billion-cash-pile-and-updated-his/pgecrnn">비즈니스 인사이더</a>에 따르면, 이러한 움직임으로 버크셔의 현금 보유액은 처음으로 3,000억 달러를 초과하여 연초 1,680억 달러에서 거의 두 배로 증가했다.

오마하의 현인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">워런 버핏</a>이 다시 한 번 그 일에 나섰다. 그는 좋은 기회를 발견했을 때 그것을 발견하는 방법을 알고 있다는 것을 증명했다. 그의 최근 움직임에서 버핏의 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)는 놀랍지만 전략적인 두 회사에 막대한 투자를 했다. 그 회사들은 바로 도미노피자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>)와 풀 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>)이다.

<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1067983/000095012324011775/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출된 서류</a>에 따르면, 버크셔는 도미노 피자 주식 128만 주를 매입했으며, 이는 3분기 말 기준으로 5억 5천만 달러에 해당한다. 또한 버크셔는 미국에서 수영장 장비 및 용품을 가장 많이 유통하는 회사인 풀 코프의 주식도 40만 주 이상 매입했다.
이 소식이 전해지자 두 회사의 주가도 급등했다. 투자자들이 버핏의 투자에 따른 반응을 보인 것이다. 도미노 피자는 올해 들어 주가가 8.5% 상승했으며, 지난해에는 20% 상승했다. 풀 코프는 올해 들어 주가가 9% 하락했지만, 지난해에는 3.5% 상승했다.
버핏은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42011977/99-billion-bet-warren-buffett-invests-heavily-in-2-stocks-expected-to-jump-19-and-20-wall-street-analysts-predict" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">브랜드의 가치</a>를 경제적 해자(모든 경쟁자를 차단할 수 있는 강력한 위치)를 가지고 있다고 오랫동안 강조해왔다. 이는 브랜드가 회사의 시장 위치를 경쟁자들로부터 방어한다는 의미이다. &#8220;강력한 브랜드는 강력한 힘이다&#8221;고 버핏이 말한 적이 있다. 도미노 피자와 풀 코프는 모두 이러한 점을 잘 보여준다.
도미노 피자는 효율적인 배달 모델과 인지 가능한 브랜드를 바탕으로 제국을 구축했다. 도미노 피자는 미국에서 가장 큰 피자 체인이다. 3분기 실적에서 매출 기대치를 하회했음에도 불구하고, 회사는 수익성에 대한 월스트리트의 예상을 초과 달성하며 계속해서 회복력을 보여주고 있다. 최근 루프 캐피털(Loop Capital)과 같은 애널리스트들이 주식을 상향 조정하고, 같은 매장 매출이 증가하고 있는 신호를 보았다.
풀 코프는 틈새 시장에서의 지배적인 시장 점유율로 혜택을 보고 있다. 수영장 건설에 대한 재량 지출이 줄어들더라도, 회사는 유지보수 제품에 대한 높은 수요를 계속해서 보고 있어 안정적인 수익을 발생시킨다. 오펜하이머(Oppenheimer)는 최근 분기 실적이 예상치를 초과한 후 풀 코프의 목표 주가를 상향 조정했다.
&#8220;그는 믿을 수 없을 만큼 좋은 기회가 나타나지 않는 한 투자하지 않는다&#8221;라고 마이크로소프트 공동 창립자 빌 게이츠가 버핏에 대해 언급한 바 있다. 이러한 투자들은 바로 그런 접근 방식에 완벽하게 부합한다. 도미노 피자와 풀 코프는 지속적인 매력과 일관된 수요를 보여주며, 이는 버크셔의 포트폴리오 전략의 핵심 요소이다.
최근의 이러한 움직임은 고전적인 버핏의 투자 스타일로, 견고한 기본 요소와 장기 성장 잠재력을 가진 비즈니스에 집중하고 있다. 피자 배달이든 수영장 유지보수든, 버핏은 시장의 가장 기이한 구석에서도 &#8220;믿을 수 없을 만큼 좋은&#8221; 기회가 있다는 것을 보여주었다.
