<li>Fed's Harker says rate cuts still possible but outlook uncertain</li>
<li>Harker is worried data critical to economic policy is getting degraded</li>
<li>Harker is set to retire from Philadelphia Fed at month's end</li>
</ul>
June 6 (Reuters) - As he heads toward retirement at month's end, Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker says interest rate cuts remain a possibility this year amid a very uncertain economic landscape, as he also flagged worries about the quality of economic data policymakers use to make their decisions.
When it comes to easing monetary policy, "it's possible, I would never take it off the table," Harker said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday. "If the signals are such that inflation doesn't look like it's moving rapidly north, but unemployment does then, yeah, I could definitely see making one or more cuts this year, but it's hard to say at this point."
Harker was interviewed in the final weeks of his tenure, as he's set to <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nS0N3I404R">retire</a> at the end of June after taking the reins of the Philadelphia Fed in 2015. The Fed next meets on June 17-18 when it is universally expected to hold its interest rate target steady at between 4.25% and 4.5%.
What happens later in the year is up in the air, as the Trump administration's chaotic trade policy featuring ever-changing high import taxes will likely drive up inflation and lower employment. The question facing Fed officials is whether the inflation rise is a one-off or the makings of something more enduring. Those uncertainties have blunted officials' ability to provide guidance on the monetary policy outlook and have pushed them into signaling a wait-and-see attitude.
Harker, an engineer by training who led the University of Delaware before coming to the Fed, said in the interview that he was increasingly worried about the quality of the data policymakers in general rely on.
Data, including that produced by the government, is "not good. It's not getting better," Harker said. "It's not just inflation data but a whole host of data, so we're increasingly flying blind, or at least half blind."
Harker's worries about the state of data come in the wake of reports the government was <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL2N3S70RP">cutting back on resources</a> devoted to compiling the closely watched consumer price index, which provides a critical reading that informs things like the wage changes in union contracts and the setting of social security benefits.

If you've ever wondered when real-life C-3POs or Optimus-style robots might enter your home, or your investment portfolio, KraneShares has a pretty direct answer: right now. 
The asset manager just introduced the KraneShares Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOID#NASDAQ">KOID</a>), the first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">U.S.-listed ETF</a> to exclusively target the new humanoid robotics universe. 
In simple terms? Your chance to invest in the robots that may eventually take your drive-thru order and put in your solar panels.
Driven by advances in AI, machine learning, smart materials and robotics, humanoid robots are leaving science fiction behind and appearing in real-world factories, hospitals and homes. The ETF follows humanoid form-factor robot and &#8220;embodied intelligence&#8221; companies, essentially intelligent machines that can perceive, learn and act in the physical world.
These aren&#8217;t attitude-paying Roombas. We&#8217;re talking Tesla&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus, Figure AI and China&#8217;s Unitree, robots with real limbs, facial recognition and in a few instances, enough dexterity to do your laundry.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Should Investors Care?</h1>
According to Morgan Stanley, the humanoid robotics market could be as high as $5 trillion in revenue per year by the year 2050, with one billion humanoids on the job. That&#8217;s a buffet of opportunity in tech, manufacturing and semiconductors.
&#8220;Soon, the cost of a humanoid robot could be less than a car,&#8221; ventured Derek Yan, CFA, KraneShares Senior Investment Strategist. Which means, robots for the masses, and maybe profits for investors who make an early bet.
Unlike earlier robotics ETFs that bundle in every form of automation under the sun, <a href="https://kraneshares.com/kraneshares-launches-first-global-humanoid-embodied-intelligence-etf-ticker-koid-on-nasdaq/">KOID</a> focuses on the firms directly empowering humanoid robotics and embodied AI. That means:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Actuation systems (robot muscles)</li>
<li>Sensors and perception technology (how they &#8220;see&#8221; and respond)</li>
<li>Semiconductors &amp; AI chips</li>
</ul>
KOID has international exposure, with U.S., Chinese and Japanese companies covering information tech, industrials and consumer discretionary spaces.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Buy?</h1>
If you&#8217;re an investor with a long-term view and an appetite for megatrends, and a willingness to endure a potentially rocky ride to mass humanoid acceptance, KOID might bring a high-risk, high-reward taste to your portfolio.
Diversification and time horizon are as important with all thematic plays. Humanoid robots may not yet take over the globe, but with KOID they could at least occupy a corner of your portfolio.

- Oral presentation on outcomes following treatment with CFTR modulators show that improvements in CFTR function, as measured by lower sweat chloride, correlate with better outcomes for people with cystic fibrosis -
- Oral presentation on new post hoc data from randomized, controlled and open-label trials suggest improved quality of life results with ALYFTREK compared to TRIKAFTA&#xAE; –
<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vrtx.com%2F&amp;esheet=54266897&amp;newsitemid=20250606362203&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Vertex+Pharmaceuticals+Incorporated&amp;index=1&amp;md5=eb77f3c67389e9e5a8a914fa1115154c">Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) today announced data across multiple studies demonstrating positive clinical and quality of life benefits of treatment with CFTR modulators and, in particular, ALYFTREK&#xAE; (vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor), which is approved in the United States and United Kingdom and is currently under review with health authorities in the EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. These data were presented at this year's European Cystic Fibrosis Society's (ECFS) 48th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference held June 4-7, 2025, in Milan, Italy.
During the conference, the Company presented data from a pooled analysis across CFTR modulators, including ALYFTREK, which demonstrate that reduction in sweat chloride (SwCl), and therefore greater restoration of CFTR function, is associated with improved outcomes in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). For all clinical outcomes in the study, SwCl levels below 60 mmol/L were associated with greater benefit including better and more stable lung function, fewer pulmonary exacerbations, better nutritional status and better quality of life. SwCl levels below 30 mmol/L generally demonstrated greater numerical benefit than all other groups, with confidence intervals that overlapped with the ≥30 to &lt;60 mmol/L group.
Vertex also presented the results of a post hoc analysis from the Phase 3 randomized, controlled and open-label trials of ALYFTREK (abstract WS19.04) which suggest treatment with ALYFTREK is associated with improved health-related quality of life outcomes in adolescents and adults, and with improved CF symptoms and general functioning in children aged 6-11 years compared to patients treated with TRIKAFTA.

Shares of Trade Desk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>) moved sharply lower on Thursday on news of it losing share to Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) demand-side platform (DSP),
Since Trade Desk is a pure-play DSP, it has "several structural advantages" compared to Amazon's platform, according to Needham.
The Trade Desk Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/580607ae846faa000106ab43/laura-martin">Analyst Laura Martin</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $84.
The Trade Desk Thesis: While the company specializes in brand building and reach-related ads for the world's largest advertisers, Amazon focuses on buying-related ads for medium-sized businesses, Martin said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Trade Desk's clients buying performance ads on Amazon "is normal, not troubling," she added.
Moreover, the analyst mentioned some structural advantages of Trade Desk's ads:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Customers from the largest ad categories, like e-commerce, offline retail, and GenAI, consider Amazon a competitor and would not want to share their data.</li>
<li>Unlike Amazon, Trade Desk supports buying ads on every device, across every category, at scale.</li>
<li>Trade Desk uses data across 10,000 websites to optimize returns, while Amazon provides comparison only on its own site.</li>
<li>Amazon has financial motivations to send customers' ad dollars to its owned media properties like its e-commerce platform and Prime Video, even if it means lower returns. "TTD&#8217;s core value proposition is its independence," she wrote.</li>
</ul>
Referring to Trade Desk's latest share price decline, Martin said, "We are buyers of TTD on this weakness."
TTD Price Action: Shares of Trade Desk were down 0.22% to $70.96 at the time of publication on Friday.

Shares of DocuSign Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOCU#NASDAQ">DOCU</a>) tanked in early trading on Friday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45811353/docusign-goes-all-in-on-ai-with-7-new-tools-as-it-eyes-post-e-signature-future">healthy fiscal first-quarter results</a>.
The company's billings missed the guidance, following several quarters of "material outperformance," while the full-year guidance was lowered by 50 basis points (bps), despite currency tailwinds, according to Needham.
The DocuSign Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587635595064ed000140010c/scott-berg">Analyst Scott Berg</a> reaffirmed a Hold rating on the stock.
The DocuSign Thesis: The company reported revenue and non-GAAP earnings of $763.7 million and 90 cents per share, beating estimates, with total revenue growth of 7.6% year-on-year and subscription revenue growth of 7.9%, Berg said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Customer adds accelerated to 50,000, from 30,000 in the previous quarter, he added.
IAM adoption continues to climb, with direct customers rising to more than 10,000, the analyst stated. "We believe the solution is currently performing best in the SMB space, with 1,000 self-serve customer adds since the April launch alone," he further wrote.
However, billings growth decelerated to 4.2% year-on-year, from 10.8% in the prior quarter, resulting in a value of $739.6 million that missed guidance of $741–$751 million, Berg said.
Management raised their fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $3,151-$3,163 million, representing growth of 6.1% at the midpoint, from their prior outlook of 5.3% growth, he added.

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) disclosed a strategic technology alliance with Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy, and SAMSUNG E&amp;A to deliver a comprehensive global solution for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45785467/honeywell-johnson-matthey-gidara-energy-and-samsung-e-a-form-saf-technology-alliance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> biomass and municipal solid waste</a>.
This collaboration combines each company's specialized expertise to offer an integrated, end-to-end approach that simplifies the entire SAF value chain, from feedstock sourcing to fuel production.
Through this collaboration, the companies intend to launch a unified technology solution based on the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process, designed to expand access to widely available feedstocks and address the rising global demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45503887" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quantum Vs AI: Nvidia's Next Big Bet Could Supercharge These 2 ETFs</a>
This joint approach will streamline project execution by offering customers a single point of accountability, helping to accelerate timelines and ensure consistent communication, coordination, and performance guarantees across the entire SAF production chain.
The integrated and modular solution is expected to reduce the time from feasibility study to facility startup by over 15% and decrease capital expenditures by up to 10%.
The company said that this non-exclusive solution is designed for customers seeking a full-service offering and incorporates GIDARA Energy's expertise in gasification and syngas production to transform feedstock, Johnson Matthey's advanced catalyst technologies for converting syngas into fuels, Honeywell's process technology and digital automation capabilities, and SAMSUNG E&amp;A's global proficiency in engineering, procurement, construction, and project execution management.
Ken West, President and CEO, Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions said, "As demand for SAF increases, the technology to expand available feedstock options becomes increasingly vital. This comprehensive alliance provides refiners with a strategic approach to quickly execute their vision."
Maurits van Tol, CEO of Catalyst Technologies,&nbsp;Johnson Matthey added, "The alliance targets the common challenges faced by SAF producers and offers a new way forward with greater speed and lower capital expense cost. Bringing such leading expertise together is critical in supporting our customers to reach the final investment decision on their projects and can help accelerate the deployment of SAF worldwide,"&nbsp;
In May, Honeywell disclosed a deal to acquire&nbsp;Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies division in an all-cash deal valued&nbsp;at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45561483/honeywell-deepens-renewable-fuels-push-with-2-4-billion-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">1.8 billion pounds ($2.4 billion)</a>.
The purchase price represents roughly 11 times the projected 2025 EBITDA, factoring in tax advantages and anticipated cost synergies.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Themes Transatlantic Defense ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NATO#NASDAQ">NATO</a>) and&nbsp;Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>).

The world is about to drop a record $3.3 trillion into energy in 2025 &#8211; and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/solar">solar is stealing the spotlight</a>. According to the latest IEA <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/global-energy-investment-set-to-rise-to-3-3-trillion-in-2025-amid-economic-uncertainty-and-energy-security-concerns">report</a>, solar PV is attracting more capital than any other energy technology, as clean energy investment surges to $2.2 trillion, double that of fossil fuels.
At the heart of this surge is China, now the world's largest energy investor, and the U.S., which is rapidly becoming a clean energy superpower. Thanks to policy support and corporate demand—particularly from data centers and AI-hungry tech giants &#8211; solar manufacturing in the U.S. nearly <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-investment-2025/united-states">tripled</a> in 2024 to 42 GW. Combine that with grid bottlenecks and transformer shortages, and it&#8217;s clear that solar solutions, especially modular and scalable ones, are becoming vital.
So which stocks are best positioned to ride this trillion-dollar tailwind?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solar Stock Riding The Trillion Dollar Tailwind</h2>
First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) is leading the charge with nearly <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/solar/">half</a> the market cap weight among top solar names. With the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FSLR/analyst-ratings">analyst consensus rating it a Buy</a> rating and a price target of $228.77 (vs. current $163.84), it&#8217;s the institutional favorite to benefit from U.S.-led domestic solar expansion.
Nextracker Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>) has been quietly scorching the charts with a 46% YTD gain, thanks to its dominant solar tracking systems and strong demand from utility-scale projects. With a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NXT/analyst-ratings">consensus Buy rating</a> and resilient momentum, it&#8217;s the growth story in the group. The company makes up about 23% of the solar market.

Array Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARRY#NASDAQ">ARRY</a>) is also heating up, with a 9.79% YTD return. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/arry/analyst-ratings">Buy-rated</a> solar stock is also likely riding the same structural wave.
At the speculative end, VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVPR#NASDAQ">VVPR</a>) has gone parabolic with a 319.15% YTD rally, albeit off a tiny market cap base ($62.29 million) clearly a high-risk, high-reward bet for the bold.
Meanwhile, legacy solar names like Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) remain under pressure. Enphase, commanding over 15% market share, is down nearly 42.12% YTD as investors get wary of margin compression and the European slowdown.
SolarEdge has returned 19.86% to investors so far this year, and has a 2.82% hold on the market, signaling room to grow.
With 205 GW of advanced-stage solar projects waiting in the queue due to grid delays, the market is ripe for companies that can accelerate deployment and offer grid-friendly solutions. 
As billions flood into solar, the sun might finally shine on solar stocks again &#8211; investors just need to pick the right panel.

Lululemon Athletica's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Chipmaker Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) is drawing a line in the sand in the AI infrastructure battles, and it&#8217;s doing so with custom AI chips and a commitment to open networking protocols.
What Happened: During the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45803595/broadcom-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-driven-by-robust-demand-for-ai-networking-company-sees-acceleration-in-ai-revenue-ahead">second-quarter earnings</a> call, CEO Hock Tan took a thinly veiled swipe at Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) for pushing its custom systems for connecting AI chips, a reference to the latter&#8217;s NVLink architecture, and other emerging proprietary standards, aimed at turning the industry into a walled garden.
When asked about the rise of competing ecosystems in AI networking, including NVLink and UALink, Tan stated rather bluntly that &#8220;there's no reason to create a new standard for something that could be easily done in networking in Ethernet.&#8221;
Tan emphasized Broadcom's commitment to open standards like Ethernet, calling it the &#8220;only true&#8221; open-source protocol compared to the closed alternatives being promoted by some rivals. &#8220;Most of them, by the way, are proprietary, much as they like to call it otherwise,&#8221; he said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807588/bernie-sanders-slams-nike-company-makes-23-billion-a-year-workers-make-202-a-month-corporate-greed-at-its-worst">Bernie Sanders Slams Nike: Company Makes $23 Billion A Year, Workers Make $202 A Month—&#8217;Corporate Greed At Its Worst&#8217;</a>
He added that Ethernet has already proven itself over decades of use in traditional networking. "We believe Ethernet will prevail, as it does before for the last twenty years in traditional networking," Tan noted.
Broadcom is becoming a key supplier for tech giants that are building massive AI data centers. Instead of relying entirely on off-the-shelf chips like Nvidia's, these companies are working with Broadcom to design their specialized AI chips, tailored to their individual needs and requirements.
According to Tan, custom accelerators make it possible for customers to optimize the hardware for the software, which eventually results in &#8220;way higher performance than you otherwise could.&#8221; 
Why It Matters: Several leading analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/05/45642927/the-analyst-verdict-broadcom-in-the-eyes-of-13-experts">taken a bullish stance</a> on the stock in recent weeks, with 8 being &#8220;Bullish&#8221; and 5 &#8220;Somewhat Bullish,&#8221; with the high-end of the Price Target at $301, representing an upside of 15.80% from current levels. 
The Chief Global Strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, Jay Woods, referred to Broadcom as &#8220;basically Nvidia&#8217;s baby brother,&#8221; which has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/06/45779754/broadcom-q2-earnings-preview-nvidias-baby-brother-set-to-break-out-says-market-strategist">under its shadow</a> for several years, and is just beginning to break out.
The company reported $15 billion in revenue during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45803595/broadcom-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-driven-by-robust-demand-for-ai-networking-company-sees-acceleration-in-ai-revenue-ahead">second quarter results</a>, up 20% year-over-year, and ahead of consensus estimates at $14.99 billion. 
It posted a profit of $1.58 per share, against estimates at $1.56, driven by strong momentum across its AI semiconductor solutions and its subsidiary, VMware. 
Price Action: The stock was down 0.44% on Thursday, trading at $259.93, and is down 4.20% after hours, following the company&#8217;s second quarter results.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Broadcom scores well on Momentum and Quality, but is weak in terms of Value and Growth. It also has a favorable price trend in the short, medium, and long term. How does it compare with Nvidia?

Back in 2018, when gasoline was still under $3 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45517752/dave-ramsey-whatever-you-think-youre-spending-at-the-grocery-store-youre-wrong-its-more-than-that">your grocery bill</a> didn't make you break out in hives, Suze Orman went on <a href="https://affordanything.com/153-hate-fire-movement-suze-orman/">the "Afford Anything" podcast</a> to share her unfiltered thoughts on the financial independence, retire early movement—better known as the FIRE movement.&nbsp;
"I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. And let me tell you why," she told host Paula Pant.
Then came the mic drop. Orman didn't just question retiring early—she called it a massive error in judgment.
"I think it is the biggest mistake, financially speaking, you will ever, ever make in your lifetime."

And if you're thinking she was only warning people with shaky finances or no backup plan, think again. Suze made it clear that even multimillionaires aren't immune from future uncertainty.
"Listen, if you have $20 [million], $30 [million], $50 [million]—I'm not kidding—I have a few of those people. I'll give you permission," she said.
"But if you don't have at least $5 million, really, you might need $10 million to retire early today…" she said.&nbsp;
Based on her math, you'd need around $350,000 a year after taxes to cover care, living expenses, and everything else. If you only have $1 million earning 4%, that's just $40,000 a year—nowhere near enough.&nbsp;
To generate the kind of income she's talking about without dipping into your savings, Orman calculated that you'd need at least $5 to $6 million. "So really you might need $10 million just so you, if you're making 5% on that money and after tax, you'll be fine without touching your principal."

And let's pause on that. She said that in 2018—before the pandemic, before 7% inflation, and before the $20 minimum wage trend swept parts of the country. That was back when average rent was still barely four digits in many cities.
So if Suze thought you'd need $10 million just to be "fine" back then, what would she say now? With <a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/paying-most-rent-prices-march-2025/">rents up 25% in major cities</a> since the pandemic, and everything from car insurance to rotisserie chickens doubling in cost, early retirement might look less like sipping coffee on a beach and more like praying your HVAC doesn't break in July.
Sure, plenty of people in the FIRE community have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44381436/26-year-old-wants-to-retire-at-40-asks-dave-ramsey-where-to-invest-without-early-withdrawal-penalties-he-warns-her-its-not-a-blessing">successfully retired in their 30s or 40s</a> with way less than $10 million. But Orman's point wasn't about whether it's possible—it's about whether it's sustainable through a few recessions, health crises, and bad market years.
"You get hit by a car. You get cancer. You get divorced. You have a parent that you have to take care of," she warned. "Things happen."

She wasn't fear-mongering. She was reminding listeners that life throws curveballs—and that financial independence isn't just about math. It's about margin. It's about resilience.
You don't have to agree with Suze Orman to admit she made a good point. If $5–$10 million was her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">baseline for early retirement</a> seven years ago, in what now feels like the "old economy," then the FIRE finish line might be a little farther away than some people want to believe.
So if you're banking on quitting work forever in your 30s because you hit a $1 million net worth… you might want to re-run the numbers. Suze already has.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Carrier Global'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>, Carrier Global's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.94%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
