<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.

However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 29.71%, and in the past year, by 138.41%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748966418_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Brinker International P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 68.39 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Brinker International Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 24.47. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748966418_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

MAC Copper, ATS, Pony AI And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Tuesday

While President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; is expected to reduce taxes and &#8220;put more money in people&#8217;s pockets,&#8221; experts argue whether the tax cuts will cater to the value or growth stocks within the U.S. economy.
What Happened: The new tax bill is expected to eliminate taxes on social security benefits, tips, and overtime, which will be a big &#8220;windfall for many Americans,&#8221; according to Louis Navellier, the founder and CIO at Navellier &amp; Associates.
Additionally, the bill also proposes a $40,000 state and local tax (SALT) deduction. However, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that this bill will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">add about $3.8 trillion</a> to the federal government&#8217;s $36.2 trillion in debt over the next decade. 
Navellier, who expects interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the coming months of 2025, said that &#8220;When you put more money in people&#8217;s pockets, consumers cannot help themselves, so retail sales tend to rise.&#8221;
He expects stocks like Brinker International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) and CAVA Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>) to benefit as consumer spending at bars and restaurants rose 1.2% in April.
&#8220;As far as growth vs. value is concerned, I expect the Act to boost consumer spending and confidence, so growth stocks will beat value stocks,&#8221; he said.
However, Julia Khandoshko, the CEO at the European broker Mind Money, highlighted the current wait-and-watch stance by the Federal Reserve and said, &#8220;When rates rise, growth stocks suffer, and value stocks become more attractive.&#8221;
While tax cuts represent an expansionary fiscal policy, the Fed&#8217;s current stance of holding interest rates is indicative of contractionary monetary policy. Economic theories suggest that in a mixed environment like this, interest rates might rise, potentially dampening the effects of the expansionary fiscal policy.

Why It Matters: Notably, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting, a 73.1% probability of no change in July.
Whereas, it expects 65.1%, 83.9%, and 94.8% chances of a cut in September, October, and December meetings, respectively.
Apart from growth stocks like EAT and CAVA, Navellier highlighted that &#8220;data centers are booming,&#8221; and he owns growth companies like Argan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGX#NYSE">AGX</a>), Emcor Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EME#NYSE">EME</a>), Comfort Systems USA Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>), Power Solutions International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSIX#NASDAQ">PSIX</a>), Quanta Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PWR#NYSE">PWR</a>), and Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>).
Khandoshko also highlighted that the taxes &#8220;may look effective in the short term,&#8221; but since capital gains and interest income are taxed differently, &#8220;such measures create distortions that can hit the system.&#8221;
While Jerome Powell has reiterated that &#8220;The right thing to do is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45266366/powell-flags-sharp-tariff-shock-elevated-uncertainty-fed-sticks-to-wait-and-see-mode">await further clarity</a>&#8221; on the economy and effects of fiscal policy, it remains to be seen how growth and value stocks will be affected by the combination of fiscal and monetary policies. 
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Thursday. The SPY was up 0.039% to $583.09, while the QQQ advanced 0.19% to $514.00, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
On Friday, the futures of the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones indices were trading lower.
