On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
According to a CNBC report, Walmart started providing body cameras to some of its store-level employees across the U.S. as part of a pilot<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/psychology/24/12/42537321/walmart-begins-program-that-has-employees-wear-bodycams-for-safety"> program testing the technology</a>.
Royalty Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) is a &#8220;disappointing&#8221; stock, Cramer said. &#8220;I want you to stick with it, I would not get rid of the stock here, it's too good a company.&#8221;
On Nov. 6, Royalty Pharma reported quarterly earnings of $1.04 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 93 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $565.00 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $696.10 million.
Cramer said he doesn't want to own Magna International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGA#NYSE">MGA</a>). &#8220;The autos are the worst place to be,&#8221; he noted.
On Dec. 16, Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan maintained Magna International with an Equal-Weight rating and lowered the price target from $46 to $44.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended buying M&amp;T Bank Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), adding that it is a &#8220;very, very good&#8221; company.
M&amp;T Bank will announce its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 earnings results before the market opens on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $3.74 per share on revenue of $2.34 billion.

<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.

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>, Royalty Pharma's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.51%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

10 Health Care Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Tuesday, Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) reported second-quarter sales of $38.76 million (35.9 million euros), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of $92.7 million</a>, down from 47.4 million euros reported a year ago.
Results in the quarter were primarily impacted by a negative adjustment to prior periods' estimates and assumptions for sales deductions of 27.1 million euros, where 19.5 million euros and 7.6 million euros were attributable to the three months ended&nbsp;March 31, 2024, and periods before <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40697101/ascendis-pharma-reports-second-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">January 1, 2024, respectively</a>.

The company reported an EPS loss of $(2.06) or (1.91 euros), missing the consensus loss of $(1.56) and down from a loss of 2.16 euros a year ago.
Skytrofa, indicated as a once-weekly pediatric growth hormone treatment, generated revenue of 26 million euros, a 27%&nbsp;decrease&nbsp;year over year. The 134% year over year volume growth was offset by the cost associated with broader market access.
Recently approved hypoparathyroidism drug Yorvipath&#8217;s revenue totaled €5.2 million, reflecting the first full quarter of commercial launch in&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;and&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;as well as initial revenue in International Markets. Initial revenue in&nbsp;France&nbsp;is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Guidance: Ascendis Pharma has lowered its fiscal year 2024 sales guidance for Skytrofa to 220 million euros &#8211; 240 million euros from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/g38596710/ascendis-pharma-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior guidance of</a> 320 million euros to 340 million euros.
Concurrently, the company entered into a capped synthetic royalty funding agreement based on U.S. net sales of Yorvipath with Royalty Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>).
Under the terms of the agreement, Ascendis receives an upfront payment of $150 million in exchange for a 3% royalty on U.S. net sales of Yorvipath. The royalty payments to Royalty Pharma will cease upon reaching a multiple of 2.0x or 1.65x if Royalty Pharma receives royalties in that amount by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40697339/royalty-pharma-and-ascendis-pharma-enter-into-150-million-royalty-funding-agreement" rel="noreferrer noopener">December 31, 2029</a>.
Price Action: ASND stock is down 15% at $114.50 during the premarket session at last check Wednesday.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>).
On July 17, Ally Financial posted stronger-than-expected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39847452/ally-financial-analyst-sees-consistent-margin-expansion-ahead-q2-results-breakdown"> quarterly earnings results.</a>
Cramer said he is going to hold off from recommending Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>). &#8220;It's kind of like the long knives are out for those guys right now,&#8221; he added.
On Aug. 15, Wells Fargo analyst Michael Turrin downgraded the rating for Snowflake from Overweight to Equal-Weight and lowered the price target from $200 to $130.

The company reported quarterly earnings of 96 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 99 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $537.00 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $628.26 million.
Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) is a &#8220;very overvalued situation, principally because of the fact that it's never made any money. But it is another play on crypto. If you like crypto, buy crypto.&#8221;
On Aug. 14, Core Scientific announced that it increased its offering of convertible senior notes from $350 million to $400 million. The company has also given initial purchasers the option to buy up to an extra $60 million in notes.
