Trade Desk (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>) saw increased interest from investors ahead of third-quarter financial results, which are set for Nov. 7. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of 39 cents and revenue of $619.8 million, compared to earnings of 33 cents per share and revenue of $493.3 million in last year's third quarter. Trade Desk has beaten earnings per share estimates in seven of the last eight quarters and beaten revenue estimates from analysts in more than 10 straight quarters.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41144914/meta-trade-desk-amazon-digital-ad-titans-set-for-strong-2025-growth-tech-analyst-sa">recently highlighted </a>the growth potential for Trade Desk in the third quarter.

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) made the list for the first time. The Stock Whisper Index typically highlights only stocks and leaves the ETFs out. But each week, ETFs like the SPY, QQQ and sometimes other well-known ETFs see rising interest based on volatility. Schwab tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. It offers investors exposure to some of the largest U.S. companies that pay dividends and have a strong track record of paying out dividends. Top holdings in the ETF include Bristol Myers Squibb, Blackrock, Cisco Systems, Home Depot and Chevron.
With rising global tensions, macroeconomic uncertainties and the 2024 presidential election leaving some investors on edge, the ETF could be seeing increased interest thanks to its dividend income and positions in blue chip companies.

Reinsurance Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGA#NYSE">RGA</a>): The life and health reinsurance company saw increased interest over the week likely due to quarterly financial <a href="https://investor.rgare.com/news-releases/news-release-details/reinsurance-group-america-reports-record-third-quarter-results">results</a>. The company reported third-quarter earnings per share of $6.13 and revenue of $5.65 billion, beating Street consensus estimates according to Benzinga Pro. Reinsurance Group's third quarter had record financial results. The strong quarter could put the stock on investors radar for future growth opportunities.
Shares of the reinsurance company were up around 2% for the last five days and are up over 30% year-to-date in 2024.

<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.

Sun Life Financial (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/slf#NYSE">SLF</a>) has been benefiting from its focus on Asia operations, growing asset management businesses and the scale-up and integration of U.S. operations. Earnings of SLF have risen 5.4% over the last five years.
This third-largest insurer in Canada has a decent earnings surprise history. It surpassed estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed in one, the average earnings surprise being 1.76%.
Sun Life&#39;s focus on the emerging economies of Asia that are expected to provide higher returns and the North American markets bodes well for long-term growth. SLF has a strong presence in China, Philippines, India, Hong Kong and Indonesia and has also forayed into Malaysia and Vietnam. Contribution from Asia business to Sun Life&#39;s earnings has increased to 21% over the last few years.
Sun Life envisions being one of the top five players and remains focused on growing its voluntary benefits business. The life insurer is also improving its business mix and is thus shifting its growth focus toward products that block lower capital and offer more predictable earnings.
Sun Life Investment Management makes investments in private fixed-income mortgages and real estate. It invests in pension plans and other institutional investors. These are indicative of SLF&#39;s efforts to strengthen Asset Management, which provides a higher return on equity, requires lower capital and sees lesser volatility and has the potential for an earnings upside.
Operational efficiency has been aiding Sun Life in building a strong capital position. The life insurer&#39;s capital outlay includes a 40-50% dividend payout over the medium term.
However, expenses have increased at Sun Life over the past few years due to high employee expenses, premises and equipment, service fees, amortization of intangible assets and other expenses. These, in turn, weigh on margin expansion. The life insurer remains committed toward balancing both metrics, failing which, the bottom line might suffer. The company estimates integration activities to drive run-rate cost savings of $60 million by 2024.
Nonetheless, SLF&#39;s trailing 12-month return on equity was 17.5%, ahead of the industry average of 15.5%. Return on equity, a profitability measure, reflects how effectively a company is utilizing its shareholders&#39; funds. Given the company&#39;s ongoing shift to fee-based capital-light businesses, SLF reiterated its medium-term ROE target of 18%.
Also, the return on invested capital in the trailing 12 months was 0.8%, better than the industry average of 0.7%. This reflects SLF&#39;s efficiency in utilizing funds to generate income.&nbsp;
<h3>Some Key Industry Players</h3>
Other players in the insurance industry are Brighthouse Financial (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bhf#NASDAQ">BHF</a>), Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rga#NYSE">RGA</a>) and Primerica (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pri#NYSE">PRI</a>).
Brighthouse Financial&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed in one, the average surprise being 3.76%.
With an expansive and compelling suite of life and annuity products and a strong market presence, BHF aims to become a premier player in the individual insurance market.&nbsp; Brighthouse is also revamping its life insurance business to boost annuity sales. Sales of Shield Level annuities and variable annuities with FlexChoice Access should drive Annuity sales.&nbsp; The insurer remains focused on transitioning the business mix to less capital-intensive products.
Reinsurance Group&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 20.51%.
RGA has been benefiting from an increase in new business volumes, favorable longevity experience, a stronger invested asset base, business expansion in the pension risk transfer market and effective capital deployment.
Primerica&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed in one, the average surprise being 1.74%.
This second-largest issuer of term-life insurance coverage in North America aims to be a successful senior health business while continuing to enhance its shareholders&#39; value. Strong demand for protection products drives sales growth and policy persistency benefit the life insurer. A strong business model makes Primerica well-poised to cater to the middle market&#39;s increased demand for financial security.
