<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>, United Therapeutics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.79%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

<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.

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 Therapeutics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.45%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>United Therapeutics P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 61.21 in the Biotechnology industry, United Therapeutics Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.2. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727988397_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.

전설적인 수학자이자 전 국가안보국(NSA) 암호 해독자인 짐 사이먼스(Jim Simons)가 설립한 헤지펀드인 르네상스 테크놀로지스(Renaissance Technologies)는 최근 8월 9일 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출한 13F의 최신 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38768433/jim-simons-groundbreaking-quantitative-hedge-fund-founder-who-provided-exceptional-returns-for-inves">주요 주식 보유 현황을 공시</a>했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 이 공시 서류는 르네상스를 역사상 가장 성공적인 헤지 펀드 중 하나로 만든 정량적 전략을 반영하여 펀드 포트폴리오의 중요한 변화를 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1037389/000103738924000073/xslForm13F_X02/renaissance13Fq22024_holding.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보여</a>준다.
이 중 가장 주목할 만한 기업은 덴마크의 거대 제약회사인 노보 노디스크 A/S(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>)는 시장 가치가 13억 달러로 르네상스 포트폴리오의 2.22%를 차지한다. 주식이 15.03% 감소했음에도 불구하고 노보 노디스크는 여전히 펀드의 최고 보유 주식이다.
주목할 만한 변화에서 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)는 이 포트폴리오의 1.70%를 차지하며 2위를 차지했다. 그러나 르네상스는 팔란티어 포지션을 16.56% 감소시켜 이 데이터 분석 회사의 전망에 대한 잠재적인 재평가를 예고했다.
AI 및 그래픽 처리 분야의 선두주자인 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)는 르네상스의 보유 지분이 크게 증가했다. 이 펀드는 엔비디아의 지분을 27.52% 증가시켜 포트폴리오의 1.47%로 세 번째로 큰 위치를 차지했다.
기타 주요 보유 종목으로는 버텍스 파마슈티컬스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>)와 유나이티드 테라퓨틱스 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTHR#NASDAQ">UTHR</a>)이 있으며, 이는 의료 부문에 대한 르네상스의 관심을 강조한다.
메타 플랫폼스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)는 보유 주식이 33.39% 크게 감소하여 현재 포트폴리오의 0.89%를 차지한다. 에어비앤비(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>)는 또한 23.11%의 상당한 감소를 경험했으며 이는 시장 가치 5억 1,576만 달러로 르네상스 보유 지분의 0.87%를 차지했다.
놀랍게도 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)은 전체 보유 지분의 0.80%와 시장 가치 4억 7,221만 달러로 9위를 차지하며 이 포트폴리오에서 새로운 포지션으로 등장했다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 르네상스가 지분을 14.20% 늘려 상위 10위 안에 들었다. 테슬라는 현재 이 포트폴리오의 0.69%를 차지하며 가치는 4억 594만 달러이다.
이 뉴스가 중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 이번 13F에서는 최근 사이먼스가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/09/34771681/hedge-fund-titan-peter-brown-built-a-large-language-model-35-years-ago-read-what-it-wrote">별세한 이후</a>에 피터 브라운(Peter Brown) CEO가 이끄는 르네상스 테크놀로지스의 투자 전략을 엿볼 수 있다. 이 펀드는 사이먼스가 개척한 접근 방식인 복잡한 수학적 모델과 알고리즘 거래를 지속적으로 활용하여 기존 투자 방식보다 지속적으로 뛰어난 성과를 거두었다.
탁월한 성과로 유명한 르네상스의 메달리온 펀드(Medallion Fund)는 1988년부터 2021년까지 연간 62%(수수료 제외 37%)의 수익률을 달성했다. 이 실적은 수익률 측면에서 워런 버핏을 능가하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38431687/jim-simons-a-math-professor-became-one-of-the-most-successful-investors-of-all-time-now-he-shares-hi" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">역대 최고의 투자자 중 한 명</a>으로 사이먼스의 유산을 확고히 했다.
포브스(Forbes)에 따르면 사망 당시 사이먼스의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38768433/jim-simons-groundbreaking-quantitative-hedge-fund-founder-who-provided-exceptional-returns-for-inves" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">순자산</a>은 314억 달러로 추산되었다. 그의 유산은 금융을 넘어 수학과 과학 교육에 대한 자선 활동에 크게 기여하고 있다. 특히 1964년에 사이먼스는 국방 분석 연구소(Institute for Defense Analyses)에서 극비 직위를 맡아 소련 코드와 암호를 해독하는 NSA를 지원했다.
