On Tuesday,&nbsp;Henry Schein Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSIC#NYSE">HSIC</a>) reported a fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.19, up 80.3% year-over-year,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of $1.21</a>.
Sales were $3.19 billion, an increase of 5.8%, missing&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43934994/henry-schein-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results-and-provides-detailed-202" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $3.30 billion</a>.
Sales growth reflects 5.5% internal sales growth, 0.7% sales growth from acquisitions, and a 0.4% sales decrease resulting from foreign currency exchange. Excluding the impact of personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID test kits, internal sales growth was 6.6%.

"Our fourth quarter financial results reflect relatively stable dental and medical end-markets. We continued to make progress on our 2022 to 2024 BOLD+1 Strategic Plan which we recently completed, exceeding our 2024 target of generating 40% of our worldwide operating income from high-growth, high-margin businesses," said Stanley Bergman, chairman and CEO of Henry Schein.
As part of the new strategy, the company has restructured its organization into three segments:
<ul>
<li>Global Distribution and Value-Added Services ($10.8 billion in sales)</li>
<li>Global Specialty Products ($1.4 billion in sales)</li>
<li>Global Technology ($630 million in sales)</li>
</ul>
According to William Blair, it is &#8220;difficult to get an initial read on which segments underperformed.&#8221;
The firm&#8217;s analysts assume continued weakness in dental end-markets weighed on the dental segment, &#8220;especially for equipment and to some degree maybe even merchandise.&#8221;
Guidance: Henry Schein forecasts 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.80-$4.94 versus a consensus of $5.01. The company also expects sales growth of approximately 2%-4% over 2024.
Analyst Brandon Vazquez notes that the company&#8217;s 2025 outlook is slightly below Wall Street expectations, likely due to stable but weak market demand and spending on future growth, such as a new e-commerce site, which could temporarily impact profit margins.
Price Action:&nbsp;At last check on Tuesday, HSIC stock was down 3.91% at $74.61.

<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?utm_source=insights&amp;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 Henry Schein 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 Henry Schein'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>, Henry Schein's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.25%, 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?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
