The company recently reported that it has <strong>1.75 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 4.16% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>Comparing Molina Healthcare's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Molina Healthcare's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.79%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> 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"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

KKR Drops Out Of Consortium Seeking Gerresheimer Takeover

<p>Bank of America Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech">writes that SMid-cap biotech</a>, companies with small to mid-sized market capitalizations, had a rocky start to the year.</p>
<p>Many companies in the coverage are down 20-40% year-to-date (NBI: -2.35%).</p>
<p>Tariff concerns and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shakeup added further near-term uncertainty to an already challenging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">already challenging outlook</a>.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, <strong>Peter Marks</strong> resigned from his role at the FDA&#8217;s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.</p>
<p>Marks was a top regulator at the FDA and played a key role in ensuring the quick approval of vaccines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44562368/moderna-novavax-shares-are-tumbling-monday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">during the COVID-19 pandemic</a>.</p>
<p>In March, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unveiled a sweeping restructuring plan on Thursday to cut costs, streamline operations and refocus priorities.</p>

<p>The changes, aligned with President&nbsp;<strong>Donald Trump's</strong>&nbsp;executive order on government efficiency, will reduce the agency&#8217;s workforce, consolidate divisions, and emphasize efforts to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">combat chronic illness</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst points out that public biotech companies raised only $4.7 billion, compared to $13.6 billion last year, highlighting ongoing challenges in the capital market.</p>
<p>&#8220;And while we see these macro headwinds as likely to continue over the course of 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44627820/trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-on-india-exempt-pharma-easing-mark-cubans-price-hike-concerns">drugs being exempt from reciprocal tariffs</a> should offer some much-needed near-term reprieve for the sector, in our view,&#8221; BofA analyst writes.</p>
<p><strong>Novavax Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) is just one example of FDA. On Wednesday, the regulators missed the deadline for deciding to grant full approval to Novavax&#8217;s Covid-19 shot.</p>
<p>BofA expects more details on the delay in the coming weeks. The expected $125 million milestone payment from <strong>Sanofi SA</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) will likely be pushed to the second half of 2025.</p>
<p>Despite small and mid-cap biotech stocks being among the worst performers this year, the sector may still present a strong opportunity. Most of these companies (80%) are pre-commercial and have minimal exposure to tariffs or FDA decisions, with only 2 out of 29 under BofA coverage awaiting FDA approval.</p>
<p>The bigger challenges are high interest rates and limited access to capital, but these risks are already factored into valuations. While negative headlines may continue to impact sentiment and investment flows, the recent broad sell-off could be an appealing entry point.</p>

Despite Headwinds, Biotech Sell-Off Could Offer Buying Opportunity: Analyst

<p>Perhaps surprising to some investors, Altimeter Capital&#8217;s <strong>Brad Gerstner</strong> said Thursday that he&#8217;s buying shares of <strong>NVIDIA Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) amid the stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44614272/nvidia-stock-is-down-nearly-20-ytd-whats-going-on">fallout in recent weeks</a>.</p>
<p>Gerstner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UzcKdcnV-I&amp;ab_channel=CNBCTelevision">appeared </a>on CNBC on Thursday following President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcement. The Indiana native expressed concern about the tariffs&#8217; impact on the United States&#8217; economy and a potential, resulting recession on the horizon.</p>
<p>Still, Gerstner, the founder and CEO of Altimeter, likes Nvidia at its current price point. He noted his fund&#8217;s already conservative cash position and puts against the NASDAQ index.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going from the bomb shelter to simply our safety position,&#8221; Gerstner said. &#8220;That means adding about 15% of net exposure, and we&#8217;re adding it in the areas that we believe are continuing to see sector growth. And as you know, the growth and demand for GPUs is off the charts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gerstner also noted the exceptions laid out by Trump in his plan for semiconductors. He believes the impact of tariffs on the industry will be less than in other areas.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the exceptions, a wise exception, is semiconductors. And I think one of the reasons semiconductors are being excepted is because for us to charge a tariff on our own chips, which are fabricated in Taiwan because they can&#8217;t be fabricated in the U.S.,&#8230;because we know if we increase the cost of chips that we design to our own companies, we&#8217;re only shooting ourselves,&#8221; he told CNBC.</p>
<p>Gerstner still expressed concern at the possibility of a recession, but is hopeful that Congress and the Trump Administration will take action to prevent such a result.</p>
<p>Shares of Nvidia fell over 7% on Thursday. The Santa Clara, California-based company&#8217;s shares are down over 25% in 2025.</p>
