According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Humana's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.66%, 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>

<h3>Comparing Chart Industries P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
Chart Industries has a better P/E ratio of 30.37 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 27.73 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that Chart Industries Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

P/E Ratio Insights for Chart Industries

CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) shares soared higher Monday afternoon, up 14.6% at $160.57. The stock gapped up at the market open and climbed throughout the session. Monday&#8217;s rally occurred despite a lack of company-specific news for the session.
What To Know: The surge continues a powerful momentum built over the last month, fueled by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45421041/nvidia-backed-coreweave-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-420-backlog-grows-to-25-9-billion-following-openai-deal-shares-hit-all-time-highs">explosive growth</a> in the artificial intelligence sector. Investors are capitalizing on the company's integral role in the AI ecosystem, which has been highlighted by several recent key developments.
This includes a close partnership with Nvidia, its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">blockbuster earnings</a> having created a significant halo effect for its key suppliers. CoreWeave&#8217;s services are heavily reliant on Nvidia&#8217;s in-demand GPUs, and the two stocks often trade in tandem.
Driving the bullish sentiment is CoreWeave&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45421041/nvidia-backed-coreweave-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-420-backlog-grows-to-25-9-billion-following-openai-deal-shares-hit-all-time-highs">first-quarter report</a>, which showcased a staggering 420% year-over-year revenue increase to $981.6 million. The company also announced a massive $25.9 billion revenue backlog, substantially boosted by a strategic agreement with OpenAI. 
Furthermore, a long-term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45774434/coreweave-applied-digital-shares-are-trending-wednesday-whats-going-on">data center deal</a> with Applied Digital to expand its computing capacity underscores its aggressive growth strategy to meet accelerating demand for AI infrastructure.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CRWV Stock</h1>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for CoreWeave: be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of CoreWeave, which is trading at $160.96 as of publishing time on Monday, $100 would buy you 0.62 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CRWV has a 52-week high of $166.60 and a 52-week low of $33.52.

Trader Notes: Crypto Bully <a href="https://x.com/BullyDCrypto/status/1932047416792166806">shared</a> a simple, yet effective Monday trading strategy built around three key pillars:
Use the Weekly Open – A reclaim of this level can signal potential longs, while a rejection or breakdown suggests short setups.
Mark the Weekend Range – Identify Saturday–Sunday highs and lows to define short-term boundaries.
Watch Open Interest (OI) – Entry signals often emerge when OI builds up and then flushes.
According to <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1932116013476204605">Santiment</a>, Bitcoin's sharp bounce from near $100,000 back to $108,000 has sparked a retail FOMO wave, with the second-largest spike in crowd excitement seen in two weeks. Just days earlier, panic selling had dominated, but now sentiment has flipped.
Yet, in crypto's emotion-driven market, surging retail optimism is often a contrarian indicator. Historical patterns show that when retail sentiment gets euphoric, caution may be warranted.
Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1932121659168731197">noted</a> that $104,400 has held as weekly support for four consecutive weeks. He <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1932123282041454878">sees</a> only one major weekly resistance between current levels and a potential return to price discovery mode for BTC.
Stockmoney Lizards added that Bitcoin's structure is looking increasingly bullish, highlighting ongoing short liquidations and a possible squeeze setup. "Once it fires," he said, "expect a large green candle."

From Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conference: Bianchi & Brandt Co-Founder, Laura Bianchi Says Cross-State M&A And License Deal Structures Are Complicated, Says Process Can Be Slow And All Parties Should Be On The Same Page

A silver &#8220;supercycle&#8221; may already be underway, as the structural market tightness and resurgent investor interest in the grey metal set the stage for a potential breakout above the all-time high of $50 per ounce last reached in 2011, according to Otavio Costa, macro strategist at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">hedge fund Crescat Capital.</a>
"Silver is just catching up to gold," Costa said in an exclusive interview with Benzinga, noting that the metal's decade-long underperformance is poised to reverse.
Since early June, silver prices have surged over 10%, breaking above $36.80 on Monday and reaching levels last seen in February 2012. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) has now risen 25% year-to-date through June 9, perfectly matching SPDR Gold Trust&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) performance.
Costa indicated silver is now entering a critical phase that could resemble historical boom cycles.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Silver-To-Gold Ratio Signals More Room To Run</h3>
When gold leads, silver then follows. 
Silver is "the next one in line," Costa said.
The grey metal is trading at roughly 100 ounces per ounce of gold—a level Costa calls historically unsustainable and a clear setup for a sharp reversal.
"We've only seen this a few times in history," he said. "Every time, the ratio eventually collapses."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The gold-to-silver ratio is now breaking down as silver accelerates and begins to catch up with gold. Just a month ago, investors were telling me this time was different — that the ratio wouldn't revert and we were witnessing a structural shift. But notice the trend.… <a href="https://t.co/r4JE7gAoPt">pic.twitter.com/r4JE7gAoPt</a>
&mdash; Otavio (Tavi) Costa (@TaviCosta) <a href="https://twitter.com/TaviCosta/status/1932101773604307231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 9, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

According to the expert, silver is now transitioning from being viewed strictly as an industrial commodity to being increasingly perceived as a monetary hedge—just as gold demand from central banks accelerates.
"Silver has been a monetary metal in the past, and once it starts moving higher, it becomes less of an industrial and much more of a monetary metal," he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Silver At $50? The Next Key Resistance</h3>
Costa told Benzinga that the metal's next technical battleground is the $50 threshold—a level reached during the 2011 rally and in the late 1970s Hunt Brothers episode.
"There's no such thing as a triple top," he said. 
"Once silver breaks $50, we enter price discovery. Nobody knows where it goes from there."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Dynamics Say Demand Sharply Outweighs Supply </h3>
Costa highlighted the lack of new silver discoveries and project development. "There are no major supply additions coming that will significantly alter the market in the next few years," he said.
At the same time, industrial demand—especially for solar panels—is rising rapidly.
"The demand factors have changed quite significantly," Costa said.
Solar now represents 15% to 17% of global silver demand, a sharp increase from the low single-digit percentages of just a few years ago.
Crescat Capital owns San Cristobal, one of the largest silver mines in the world, and Costa highlighted unusual pricing behavior in the physical market.
He said Chinese buyers have been paying premiums of $1 to $3 per ounce on silver concentrate over the past 6 to 12 months.
"That premium wasn't reflected in the futures market—but now we're starting to see it," he said.
"I'm already invested in silver. But you never have enough of it."
