<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.

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Is a recession quietly taxiing down the runway? In March, airfare prices dropped 5.3% year-over-year, the sharpest decline in nearly four years, according to the<a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf"> Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>.&nbsp;
The drop came as major U.S. airlines — including Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>), United Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), and Alaska Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) — warned of weaker-than-expected demand, spurred by economic uncertainty, stalled business travel, and global volatility.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slashed Fares, Shaky Forecasts, And A Bumpy Ride Ahead</h2>
&#8220;Like others in the industry, we&#8217;ve seen lower fare levels being booked for April and throughout the summer,&#8221; Alaska Airlines CFO Shane Tackett told Reuters in an <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/alaska-air-pulls-its-2025-outlook-sees-weaker-profit-second-quarter-2025-04-23/">interview</a> published last month. Though he emphasized that demand hadn't collapsed, Tackett confirmed the airline had to reduce fares to keep planes full.
Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines, echoed the concern during the company's quarterly <a href="https://americanairlines.gcs-web.com/events/event-details/q1-2025-american-airlines-group-inc-earnings-conference-call">earnings call </a>on April 24. "The economic uncertainty in the market has pressured demand and impacted America&#8217;s first-quarter results and second-quarter outlook," he told analysts, prompting the airline to pull its 2025 guidance.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said during the company's April 9 <a href="https://s2.q4cdn.com/181345880/files/doc_earnings/2025/q1/transcript/CORRECTED-TRANSCRIPT_-Delta-Air-Lines-Inc-DAL-US-Q1-2025-Earnings-Call.pdf">earnings call</a>, highlighting measures taken in response to economic uncertainties. These include deferring aircraft deliveries and maintaining flat capacity growth for the second half of 2025. Bastian noted that corporate travel, which had been trending up 10% year-over-year at the start of 2025, has now flattened.

Meanwhile, United Airlines took a split-scenario approach. In an <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/319687/000010051725000013/ual_12312024erex992.htm">investor update</a> filed with the SEC in January, the airline issued two 2025 profit forecasts: one showing earnings per share between $11.50 and $13.50 if the economy holds steady, and another EPS of $7 to $9 in a recession. Starting in July, United plans to reduce domestic capacity by 4%.
This domestic softness comes at a time when business travel budgets are also tightening. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/airlines/business-travel-expenses-decline-trade-war-7b0ac8b4">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported that companies like Invesco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVZ#NYSE">IVZ</a>) and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are trimming non-essential travel due to cost pressures and diminished ROI from face-to-face meetings.
Despite the turbulence at home, premium and international travel segments are staying aloft. United Airlines saw a <a href="https://ir.united.com/static-files/eac79d3d-fdbc-4c6d-97f2-109769c238a8">17% jump in premium booking</a>s and 5% rise in international sales. Delta is also leaning into loyalty programs and premium cabin sales.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds.

&nbsp;Alaska Airlines is celebrating the addition of our newest global airline partner, Philippine Airlines, the flag carrier of the Philippines and the oldest operating commercial airline in Asia. With our new frequent flyer partnership, Alaska becomes Philippine Airlines' first loyalty partner in North America, opening the door for our guests to book travel to exotic, once-in-a-lifetime destinations such as Palawan and Boracay in the Philippines.
In the coming months, our guests will be able to book flights on Philippine Airlines directly at <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4417598-1&amp;h=2805840937&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alaskaair.com%2F&amp;a=alaskaair.com">alaskaair.com</a>, earn Mileage Plan miles for their travel and redeem Mileage Plan miles for Philippine Airlines flights.
Philippine Airlines offers a variety of flight options between Alaska's hubs in Honolulu and the West Coast to Manila: Five nonstop flights a week from Honolulu; three nonstops a week from Seattle; two daily nonstops from Los Angeles; and a daily nonstop from San Francisco. From Philippine Airlines' hub in Manila, travelers can connect to dozens of additional destinations in Asia and elsewhere.
"Philippine Airlines is a terrific addition to our roster of global airlines offering world-class service and amenities," said Brett Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at Alaska Airlines. "We're excited to make this announcement as we mark the beginning of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The large Filipino communities living in Hawaii, California and Washington state can travel on Philippine Airlines long-haul, widebody aircraft and soon earn valuable Mileage Plan miles on their transpacific journeys."
This new partnership builds on the existing one that Hawaiian Airlines already had in place with Philippine Airlines. With the combination of Alaska and Hawaiian, we're delivering more for our guests, including improvements and expansions to the partnership between Hawaiian and Philippine Airlines. In addition to Philippine Airlines continuing to offer Hawaiian codeshare flights on its website, Hawaiian flyers will soon be able to earn and redeem miles on Philippine Airlines when they use their Mileage Plan number.

Alaska Airlines Announces Addition Of Philippine Airlines As Newest Global Partner

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) can still go lower. &#8220;It's really well-run, so don't take this the wrong way, but the airlines are wrong to own right here because people think we're going into a travel recession.&#8221;
On the earnings front, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALK">Alaska Air Group</a> reported worse-than-expected first-quarter financial results on April 23 and issued second-quarter adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) did not make the quarter, Cramer said. &#8220;I was a little bummed out. Let's wait 'til it goes lower.&#8221;
On April 22, Kimberly-Clark posted first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.93, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.89. Quarterly sales of $4.84 billion (down 6%) missed the street view of $4.88 billion.
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) is &#8220;terrific&#8221; for the long term, Cramer said. &#8220;We had to take some profits the other day, too, because it just got too big.&#8221;
CrowdStrike showcased Charlotte AI Agentic Response and Charlotte AI Agentic Workflows on Monday, marking progress in modern SOC operations.
When asked about Dillard&#8217;s, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDS#NYSE">DDS</a>), he said, &#8220;You're going to be struggling to make money in any other retailer other than Costco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>). I don't think Dillard's is a place to be.&#8221;
According to recent news, Dillard&#8217;s amended and extended its $800 million senior secured revolving credit facility on March 17.
Nextracker Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>) is &#8220;not great, not bad,&#8221; Cramer said. "This is technology all made in America. So, I think you're ok.&#8221;
Nextracker, meanwhile, will announce its fourth quarter fiscal 2025 financial results after the closing bell on Wednesday, May 14.
