<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 Crocs 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 Crocs'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>, Crocs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.61%, which means the company has more 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>

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Needham analyst Tom Nikic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on the shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) with a price forecast of $75.00.
According to the analyst, monitoring collectible sneaker trends is a way to gauge broader sneaker demand. High-demand releases, those selling out quickly at launch and fetching premiums on resale sites like StockX and GOAT often indicate a strong market.
Tariffs are expected to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener"> heavily influence the footwear sector</a> in the short term, said the analyst. With nearly all U.S. footwear being imported, current tariffs 145% on Chinese goods and 10% elsewhere pose a significant threat to profit margins.

As a result, stock movements are likely to be driven more by evolving tariff news than business fundamentals, creating uncertainty for investors, noted the analyst.
Nike has launched the ReactX Rejuven8, a molded rubber slip-on that resembles Crocs. The shoe, featuring perforations on the upper, sold out quickly in limited quantities and is gaining traction on social media.
While it's early, the analyst suggests that if the buzz continues, the model could pose competitive pressure for Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>).
Nike received strong consumer response to its Pegasus Premium running shoe, with successful launches in both January and March.
This momentum could indicate early signs of a rebound in Nike's running category.
While it's too soon to say Nike is impacting rivals like Hoka and On Holding AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>), the analyst suggests it's a space worth watching.
Brand-level analysis suggests that Nike could see a year-over-year uptick in high-heat sneaker releases, partly due to last April's underwhelming Jordan lineup.
Price Action: NKE shares traded lower by 0.33% at $54.18 at last check Friday.
