한 유명 애널리스트에 따르면 미국과 중국이 관세 인하에 합의하는 경우 기술주 주가가 최고치를 경신할 수 있다.무슨 일 있었나: 미국은 중국에서 수입하는 상품에 대한 관세를 145%에서 30%로 낮추고, 중국은 미국산 상품에 대한 관세를 125%에서 10%로 낮추기로 합의했다. 이 두 가재 조치 모두 90일 동안 한시적으로 시행된다.

중국 관세 완화의 가장 큰 수혜자는 테슬라와 애플···댄 아이브스 &#34;2025년 기술주 신고점 달성 가능&#34;

The company recently reported that it has 2.00 million shares sold short, which is 3.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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>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.

A Closer Look at Amazon.com's Options Market Dynamics

In the current session, the stock is trading at $76.47, after a 0.05% increase. Over the past month, Sempra Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) stock increased by 0.92%, and in the past year, by 1.51%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>How Does Sempra P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.23 in the Multi-Utilities industry, Sempra Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.8. 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/2025/1749146420_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.

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp denied claims on Thursday suggesting the company is aiding the government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45764231/palantir-says-it-doesnt-unlawfully-spy-on-americans-calls-report-alleging-use-by-trump-administration-for-surveillance-blatantly-untrue">in unlawful surveillance</a>.
What Happened: The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/technology/trump-palantir-data-americans.html">reported</a> last week that the Trump Administration has tapped Palantir to collect data on Americans after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March calling on the federal government to enable the sharing of data across agencies. 
Thursday on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk On The Street,&#8221; Karp refuted the report. 
&#8220;The Palantir platform, despite what you might read at The New York Times, is actually the most secure, the hardest platform in the world to manipulate and change &#8230; If you wanted to use the Deep State to unlawfully surveil people, the last platform in the world you would pick is Palantir,&#8221; Karp said. 
Palantir recently secured new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/05/45702431/palantir-stock-gains-as-trump-expands-companys-role-in-us-government-agencies">contracts</a> with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. The New York Times report indicates that Palantir representatives are also in talks with the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service, and argues that wide government adoption of a single platform creates an easy path for Trump to combine data from different agencies.
Karp told CNBC that the article is &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; and shows that the publication doesn&#8217;t have proper technical knowledge. He noted that a random engineer could find 15 to 20 errors in the article in 90 seconds. 
If you spent 10 minutes looking at the architecture of the Palantir platform, you would see how ridiculous the report is, he said.
&#8220;By the way, writing ridiculous sh&#x2A;&#x2A; in a highly-charged environment is dangerous, and The New York Times should take responsibility for the dangers they&#8217;re putting out in the world. There really are people that believe that crap,&#8221; the Palantir CEO said. 
The New York Times report shows that Palantir is winning, he said, adding that U.S. government revenue is up 46% and U.S. commercial revenue is up 71%. He told CNBC that the company is seeing strong growth because the product is the best in the world. The Trump administration is buying the best, most secure product available, that&#8217;s cheaper and more efficient, and replacing older systems, he said. 
&#8220;You know what we&#8217;re doing in the DOD, we&#8217;re scaring the bejeebers — I&#8217;m trying not to use the F word — out of our adversaries by making them scared at night &#8230; installing productized software that runs algorithms against data that&#8217;s been lawfully collected. And you can&#8217;t unlawfully use it in our platform, which is one of the main reasons people buy it and keep it,&#8221; Karp said. 
Palantir said in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">earnings report</a> last month that the company&#8217;s customer count grew 39% year-over-year and 8% on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Palantir raised its guidance for full-year U.S. commercial revenue, adjusted income from operations and adjusted free cash flow.&nbsp;
PLTR Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Palantir shares</a> are up approximately 64% year-to-date. The stock was down 5.58% at $122.67 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp Refutes 'Ridiculous' Surveillance Reports, Says Company Is 'Winning'

Alvotech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALVO#NASDAQ">ALVO</a>) on Thursday collaborated with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDY#NYSE">RDY</a>) to co-develop, manufacture and commercialize a biosimilar candidate to Keytruda (pembrolizumab) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45788813/alvotech-and-dr-reddys-enter-into-collaboration-to-co-develop-biosimilar-candidate-to-keytruda-pem" rel="noreferrer noopener">for global markets</a>.
Merck &amp; Co Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is indicated for numerous cancer types.
Keytruda's worldwide sales were $29.5 billion in 2024. The collaboration combines Dr. Reddy's and Alvotech's capabilities in biosimilars, speeding up the development process and extending the global reach for this biosimilar candidate.
Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will be jointly responsible for developing and manufacturing the biosimilar candidate and sharing costs and responsibilities.

Subject to certain exceptions, each party will have the right to commercialize the product globally.
In May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved&nbsp;Teva and&nbsp;Alvotech Selarsdi (ustekinumab-aekn) injection as interchangeable with the reference biologic&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45199025/why-is-israel-based-generic-drug-focused-teva-pharmaceutical-stock-trading-higher-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stelara (ustekinumab)</a>.
In March, Alvotech&nbsp;announced the acquisition of&nbsp;R&amp;D operations of&nbsp;Xbrane Biopharma AB along with a biosimilar candidate, XB003, which is based on Cimzia (certolizumab pegol)&nbsp;for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/03/44412592/alvotech-strengthens-biosimilar-portfolio-with-27-million-xbrane-rd-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">around SEK275 million</a> (around $27 million).
The transaction includes a cash payment of SEK102.2 million at closing, along with the assumption of SEK172.8 million in debt and accounts payable.
HSBC upgraded Dr Reddy's Laboratories from Hold to Buy and raised the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RDY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from $14.44 to $16.9</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Prediction For 2025 For Alvotech</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Alvotech, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Alvotech, the 200-day moving average sits at $11.44, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is above the current price of $10.46. For more on charts and trend lines, <a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: At the last check on Thursday, RDY stock was up 6.07% at $15.65, and ALVO stock was down 2.49% at $10.56.

If you're holding the VanEck Green Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNEW#NASDAQ">RNEW</a>) or VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMI#BATS">SMI</a>) funds, it's time to check your portfolio. VanEck is pulling the plug on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">both products</a> later this month.
The deadline to trade these ETFs on the stock market is June 18. From there on, they&#8217;ll be delisted, and the remaining shareholders will be paid in cash around June 25, according to the net asset value of their investments.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/45796685/nvidia-beats-microsoft-to-be-the-biggest-of-the-big-here-are-6-etfs-riding-its-trillion-dollar-rebound">Nvidia Beats Microsoft To Be The Biggest Of The Big: Here Are 6 ETFs Riding Its Trillion-Dollar Rebound</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is VanEck Doing This?</h2>
In short: low performance and low demand. VanEck takes a regular look at its fund lineup to determine what&#8217;s hot and what&#8217;s not. These two sustainable-themed ETFs lacked sufficient assets or investor interest to remain in play.
The firm wasn&#8217;t specific, but it&#8217;s a common scenario— if a fund isn&#8217;t growing or gaining traction, even such large players as VanEck won&#8217;t retain it indefinitely.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What This Means For You</h2>
If you hold RNEW or SMI shares, you can trade them on your online brokerage site up to and including June 18 (your brokerage fees may apply). If you do not sell before then, you will be automatically paid out in cash on approximately June 25, the value of the fund at the time of liquidation.
You could also see a final income or capital gains distribution when the fund is closed.
For tax purposes, the liquidation will be treated as a capital gain or loss based on your cost basis. VanEck will distribute year-end tax information.
This action follows a broader trend in the ETF space. Asset managers are consolidating their product offerings, particularly when niche or thematic ETFs don&#8217;t attract sufficient investor capital. ESG investing isn&#8217;t disappearing, but it&#8217;s clear that not all &#8220;green&#8221; funds are meant to be permanent.
