<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Allstate has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Allstate'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>, Allstate's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.37%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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?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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Allstate 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 Allstate'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>, Allstate's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.33%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

President Trump put a 30-day pause on levying 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico but proceeded to levy an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports. Trump has also acknowledged that he would be levying tariffs on European imports in time. The repercussions of tariffs have been a hotly debated topic. In the event that Trump follows through with his planned 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico as well as levying similar tariffs to European imports, here are six stocks that could benefit and probably not in the direct way you think.
<h2>Nucor: Soaring Steel Prices Bolster Margins</h2>
As the nation&#39;s largest steel producer, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/NUE/">Nucor Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nue#NYSE">NUE</a>) would benefit from the protectionist impact of tariffs just as they did in 2018. By taking on an additional 25% tariff on imported steel, manufacturers would be forced to buy domestic steel. The influx of demand would lead to higher prices.
This is what happened during the 2018 tariffs, when imported steel was too expensive after the 25% tariffs, domestic steel producers also took the opportunity to raise their prices. This resulted in short-term margin expansion, which also led to soaring inflation. However, sustained higher steel prices can also impact demand in the long run.
<h2>CarMax: Higher Steel Prices Mean Higher New Car Prices</h2>
Higher steel prices would result in higher costs being passed onto the consumer. New car prices would increase, making it tougher on consumers. It&#39;s estimated that the 25% tariffs imposed on Mexico and Canada could result in <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2025/02/03/trump-tariffs-new-car-prices-layoffs-canada-mexico/78179356007/">increasing the cost of a new car by $1,000 to $9,000</a>.
This would cause many consumers to consider buying a used vehicle for cheaper without getting smacked by the immediate depreciation once the car is driven off the lot. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/KMX/">CarMax Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kmx#NYSE">KMX</a>) is the nation&#39;s largest used car dealership. They would naturally be the benefactor as customers migrate to their showrooms to purchase used vehicles. The growing demand would result in higher used car prices, leading to margin expansion for CarMax.
<h2>Reborn Coffee: Inflation Sends Commodity Prices Rising</h2>
It is widely believed that levying tariffs on imports will drive inflation higher, especially if retaliatory tariffs are levied on American exports.&nbsp;This can also lead to higher commodity prices, which can bolster margins for coffee roasters like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/REBN/">Reborn Coffee Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rebn#NASDAQ">REBN</a>).&nbsp;
Coffee prices hit a 27-year high at the end of November 2024. However, that was also driven by forecasts of tightening supply in 2025.
If supply constraints persist, elevated coffee prices could provide continued tailwinds for roasters, though higher costs may eventually pressure consumer demand.
<h2>Kroger: Food Inflation Is Profitable for Food Distributors and Grocers</h2>
Higher inflation may force consumers to tighten their budgets again, but they&#39;ll still need to spend on the necessities in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/consumer-staples/">consumer staples sector</a>. Major supermarket chains like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/KR/">Kroger Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kr#NYSE">KR</a>) would benefit from expanding margins as they pass on cost increases to customers and add a little extra for themselves.
Additionally, they would also gain from consumers trading down from name brand food items to Kroger&#39;s higher margin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/shoe-carnival-stock-one-size-fits-all-investors/">private label</a> items. This shift could further strengthen Kroger&#39;s pricing power and boost overall profitability amid economic uncertainty.
<h2>Charles Schwab: Rising Interest Rates Boost Net Interest Margin&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
If inflation starts rising sharply, it will leave the Federal Reserve no choice but to reverse its interest rate cut policy and raise interest rates. Higher interest rates mean higher net interest income (NII) and margins for banks and brokers. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/SCHW/">Charles Schwab Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schw#NYSE">SCHW</a>) would be a clear benefactor from higher NII as its assets under management (AUM) have grown to more than $10 trillion. They would also collect more interest on margin loans.
This is not a guess but a reality based on precedent. History has shown that rising rates tend to benefit financial institutions, making this scenario more than just speculation.
<h2>Allstate: Interest Income Climbs</h2>
Aside from banks, insurance companies are in the business of holding a ton of cash and cash equivalents. Insurance companies like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/ALL/">Allstate Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/all#NYSE">ALL</a>) collect a ton of premium, which it invests in cash and liquid interest-bearing instruments and securities like money market funds, CDs, Treasury, and municipal and investment grade bonds.
Higher interest rates equate to higher investment income. As interest rates rise, these investments generate higher yields, boosting overall investment income and profitability.

6 Stocks Poised To Benefit From A Trade War In Unexpected Ways

Owning a home isn't just about affording the monthly mortgage—it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38046445/florida-governor-ron-desantis-raises-alarm-by-calling-citizens-insurance-not-solvent-as-an-explosive">securing insurance</a>. And according to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, that's becoming a major problem.
Speaking before the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 11, Powell warned that banks and insurers are pulling out of high-risk areas, leaving some regions at risk of becoming completely unmortgageable in the coming years.
"If you fast forward 10 or 15 years, there are going to be regions of the country where you can't get a mortgage," Powell told lawmakers, explaining that both banks and insurance companies are withdrawing from coastal areas and fire-prone regions they consider too risky.

</ul>
His comments came in response to Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), who highlighted a recent First Street Foundation analysis estimating that climate-related risks could wipe out $1.4 trillion in U.S. real estate value over the next 30 years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banks, Insurers, and Billions in Property at Risk</h2>
For lenders, homeowner's insurance isn't optional—it's a requirement. If insurers refuse to cover homes, banks won't issue mortgages.
And that's already happening. Insurance giants like State Farm and Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) have been pulling out of high-risk areas, canceling policies in states prone to wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding.
In Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood, State Farm dropped thousands of policies—just months before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43199103/suze-orman-says-whether-you-were-close-to-the-la-fires-or-not-were-all-going-to-feel-it-because-insurance-companies-are-pulling-out">wildfires tore through the area</a>.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Between 2020 and 2022, insurance companies declined to renew 2.8 million homeowner policies in California, according to the latest data from the state's Department of Insurance, according to CNN.&nbsp;
"It's not that banks will stay there and keep making loans in the face of evidence of disaster," Powell said. "Or that insurance companies will write policies—they can cancel those policies every year."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Crisis That Could Crush Home Values</h2>
The implications of an uninsurable housing market are enormous—not just for homeowners, but for entire economies.
Smith pointed out that when insurance becomes unaffordable—or simply unavailable—home values plummet, creating instability in both the rental and mortgage markets.
"The prospect of trillions of dollars of property becoming uninsurable is clearly a recipe, it seems to me, for market instability both in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41233338/i-make-180-000-a-month-off-properties-i-dont-even-own-airbnb-arbitrage-is-a-golden-goose-for-many-yo">rental and mortgage market</a>," she warned.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">Arrived Home's Private Credit Fund&#8217;s has historically paid an annualized dividend yield of 8.1%&#x2A;</a>, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">&nbsp;</a>
Powell didn't dispute the risk, acknowledging that state and local governments are already stepping in where private insurers have walked away. "They want those areas to remain prosperous," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Falling Interest Rates Won't Solve This Problem</h2>
While Powell said interest rate normalization might provide relief to homebuyers in the future, he emphasized that high rates aren't the root of the housing crisis—supply is.
"There's a short-term problem which will go away in the coming years," Powell said. "But there's a longer-term problem with housing affordability, and that's something that's not within our authorities or powers to affect."
Even if rates drop, Powell argued that demand would likely surge—meaning affordability could remain an issue.
"It would unlock people's low mortgages, but that creates both a buyer and a seller," he said.. "It's not clear that that would be something that would drive down housing inflation."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Market on the Brink of Instability?</h2>
With insurers pulling out, lenders tightening restrictions, and a $1.4 trillion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43581167/charlie-munger-said-cycles-of-agony-are-normal-in-real-estate-but-they-dont-last-forever-sometimes-its-a-boom-sometimes-its-a-bust">real estate risk potentially looming</a>, the U.S. housing market could be headed for an insurance-driven affordability crisis.
And if Powell's warning holds true, some homeowners may soon find themselves unable to sell—not because of rates, but because no one can get a mortgage at all.
