10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

United Rentals's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URI#NYSE">URI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.06% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.75 million shares sold short, which is 3.03% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.37 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>United Rentals Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735659010_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for United Rentals has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing United Rentals'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, United Rentals's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.11%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

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.

&#8220;I think this is a real short squeeze,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMND#NYSE">LMND</a>). &#8220;Let's wait 'til Friday and then maybe take some profits.&#8221;

연방준비은행(연준)의 매우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">기대되는 금리 결정</a>을 앞두고 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 화요일 오전 거래에서 사상 최고치를 경신한 후, 이 날의 세션을 0.04% 상승 마감하여 7일 연속 상승세를 기록했다.

시가총액 기준으로 미국 500대 기업을 추적하는 지수의 성과는 다른 주요 지수들과 일치했다. 기술주 중심의 나스닥을 추적하는 Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)와 SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>)는 모두 하루 동안 대체로 보합세를 보였다.
그러나 소형주 주식은 대형주 주식보다 더 높은 성과를 보였으며, iShares Russell 2000 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)는 0.8% 상승으로 마감했다.
정책 입안자들은 화요일에 이틀간의 연방공개시장위원회(FOMC) 회의를 위해 모였으며, 금리 결정은 미 동부 시간 수요일 오후 2시에 발표될 예정이다.
CME의 페드워치(FedWatch) 데이터에 따르면 50bp(베이시스 포인트) 금리 인하 가능성이 65%, 25bp 인하 가능성이 35%로 시장 기대치는 엇갈리고 있다. 이러한 수준의 불확실성은 연준의 결정 직전에는 이례적이다.
8월 소매 판매가 예상보다 강세를 보인 이후 더 큰 금리 인하에 대한 기대는 소폭 하락했다. 소매 판매는 전월 대비 0.1% 증가해 7월의 견고한 1.1% 성장보다는 둔화됐지만 전망치인 0.2% 감소를 넘어섰다.
소비자 지출의 예상치 못한 강세는 경제를 지탱하기 위해 대규모 금리 인하의 필요성에 대해 일부 의구심을 불러일으켰다.
월스트리트의 분석가들 사이에서는 압도적인 합의가 25bp 인하를 예상하고 있지만, JP모건 체이스는 50bp 인하를 예측하는 몇 안 되는 예외 중 하나로 남아 있다.
