<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.

Earnings Scheduled For May 5, 2025

The market rally continued into May as companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) reported blowout <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45137383/microsoft-rallies-after-crushing-q3-earnings-goldman-sachs-lifts-target-to-480">Q1 earnings</a>. But while stocks reclaimed their pre-Liberation Day highs, sour sentiment and uncertainty continue to bleed into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">survey data</a>.
Investors caught between the market rebound and declining sentiment may prefer to park their cash in sectors where product demand and market sentiment are less volatile, such as consumer staples.
Consumer staples stocks are resilient during downturns due to their focus on essential goods that people need regardless of economic conditions. This protects these firms from drastic revenue declines. Many also possess pricing power, allowing them to pass tariff costs to consumers without significant pushback.
Today, we'll look at five companies in the consumer staples space that offer strong dividends and high growth potential.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interparfums Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
If your significant other has a favorite scent, there's a good chance Interparfums (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPAR#NYSE">IPAR</a>) had a hand in making it. The France-based fragrance firm makes colognes and perfumes for brands like Donna Karan, Kate Spade, Coach, Guess, Montblanc, Ferragamo, and more. Interparfums reported $1.45 billion in sales over the past 12 months and currently has a market capitalization of over $3.5 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfOkma81-NTsApMIrtB1h37fir3zuZonotn9P4VHmyeGtE9VkFeAKehONFUln4YuZ3eEFsDWEkpsK-glcgCjLmhdKCSYWwewM3Xgs2btvofHcoxyD_gn_NDoNkxFinGPg0vfidy?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
IPAR currently yields 2.93% with a dividend payout ratio (DPR) of 63%, meaning that 63% of profits are allocated to dividend payments. Over 60% of profits going to a dividend may sound high, but consumer staples aren't growth-oriented firms and often return substantial chunks of earnings to shareholders. IPAR recently raised its quarterly dividend payout from $0.75 per share to $0.80 and reported 64% gross margins in the most recent earnings report. These figures indicate a strong dividend and the ability to absorb short-term tariff pressures. Additionally, the daily stock chart shows evidence of a trend reversal after a 22% decline in the preceding three months. IPAR has a high Benzinga Edge Quality score of 91.01 and reports its 2025 Q1 earnings on May 5.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">J.M. Smucker Co.&nbsp;</h2>
If you have young children, you've likely familiarized yourself with Uncrustables, the prepackaged sandwich treats sweeping elementary school cafeterias and Little League baseball diamonds. Uncrustables come from food giant J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>), famous for its peanut butter and jelly. It also owns popular brands like Hostess, Folgers, Cafe Bustelo, Meow Mix, and Milk-Bone.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcfrFUcx03Ik9f-jz_NciLyClXb1QDzsyELB_8T3zP7J9oXcuZ_tqnL_xfxZiMvvPC_ZsbwE6YusYAxvg3Wbnjppa2-fgAPYGMifVnETbjn_JRNMOqGLfkunUwWFAocf55mDd3NJQ?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
SJM's dividend payout rate is beyond 100% this quarter due to a one-time impairment charge that affected earnings, but this charge blurs an otherwise sturdy dividend. SJM currently yields 3.72%, and the forward DPR based on 2026 estimates is just 41%. The company is also a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning it has increased its annual payout for at least 25 consecutive years (SJM has been raising its payout for 27 years now). SJM reported 36% gross margins in its most recent conference call, and the chart shows a potential Golden Cross forming as the 50-day moving average converges with the 200-day moving average.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">United Breweries Co.&nbsp;</h2>
United Breweries Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCU#NYSE">CCU</a>) is a Chilean-based wine and spirits manufacturer known as Compañía Cervecerias Unidas in South America (hence the CCU stock ticker). The company operates primarily in South America, producing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages under its own name and through popular brands such as Heineken, Guinness, Pepsi, and Keurig. CCU doesn't need to worry about tariffs, as the company doesn't export to the United States. However, U.S. investors can still earn income from its durable dividend.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6QuCfT64RbCmD6Za-lXtzz7EKsSt2aKYpZnAV8nXs3c5AlZkMZoVImhyJcZ6-kR-qmTpyf1Sl47cf5xxFniaipnXDTLKQDXR29mHNDQRZqteElswwRxjn0HtXy8c5BXPvXq0CFQ?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
CCU's stock has a dividend yield of 3% with an amenable 28% DPR, indicating a resilient payout. The company also has strong margins for a food and beverage maker, with 45% gross margins in its most recent earnings report. Benzinga Edge rates the stock 99.42 in Quality and 92.45 in Value, the highest figures for any company on our list today. The daily chart is also a thing of beauty, with the price firmly above the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still well below the overbought threshold of 70.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diageo plc ADR&nbsp;</h2>
It's been a rough road lately for the English alcohol behemoth Diageo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>), which counts Johnny Walker, Crown Royal, Don Julio, Ketel One, Bailey's, and Smirnoff among its most popular brands. DEO stock was a top performer following the COVID crash in 2020, going from a March 2020 low of $102 to $222 by the first week of 2022.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd6xmvco1-VofOa0YmRHYSHbswarzBdZ6C7-zRP77odB6DOHn-bGM41tVQSH23appZSVfPpFGkmmN49Mwom0xyO9bgfeb5Bs9Bv_xHhX18j5k87Hmup6xU717y4lBW4CJbxQojL?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
The stock has returned to that 2020 low, but this could finally be a turning point for the beleaguered beverage maker. The chart above shows a distinct long-term double bottom; the stock bounced off that level almost immediately. DEO shares have returned 7% over the last month, and fundamentals indicate that more gains could be ahead. The company posted gross margins of 60% in its most recent earnings release, and the stock yields 3.7% with a DPR of just 46%. Analysts rate the stock as a consensus Buy with an average price target of $180, indicating tremendous upside potential from current levels. Optimism could finally be sinking in at Diageo after a 50% haircut over the last two-plus years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Education Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Strategic Education (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRA#NASDAQ">STRA</a>) operates private colleges and universities, such as Strayer, Capella, and Torrens, and offers online post-secondary educational programs. STRA shares saw a massive uptick during the pandemic as online education gained market share, but they dropped to multi-year lows in 2022 amidst declining revenue and shrinking margins.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdu1he7ZzwaHdzCJgxkVgpZ5vx4ZBR0A3ldQSCehzjbjpGoqoRz2WUqt3oKhnFAteEO5EUyF-lP5VXj9Pt7XrIIfGMoodp6NkBUVWNjL3gI-FikEWm-X7dNS-m80xpep1CP5C9D3g?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
STRA shares could be approaching a multi-year support level, as shown in the chart above. This fact, along with a safe dividend, makes this an attractive stock for income investors. The dividend yield is 2.94% with a 51% DPR, and the company has grown revenue for four consecutive quarters. Additionally, profit margins are back above 9% for the first time since the pandemic, with 47% gross margins, and the stock trades at just 17 times earnings.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Interparfums?

It&#8217;s been a week since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) jumped 5.39% by afternoon in a surprise midday rally, up from an intraday low of $23.88 to a high of $25.79, before closing further up at $25.87. The price has remained elevated, albeit 1.7% lower than last Wednesday.

The spike, which caught traders off guard after a relatively quiet morning of April 9, suggested a potential surge of institutional buying or tactical reallocations—possibly tied to rebalancing or changing interest rate expectations.
While the specific volume figures have not yet been validated, the distinctive price action was noteworthy, particularly relative to key benchmarks such as the S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), both of which also had positive momentum that day. Neither one, however, even came close to SCHD&#8217;s stunning percentage increase.
Market observers suspect this action could be indicative of a wider value and dividend-rich stock rotation, as inflationary anxiety and interest rate uncertainty drive investors onto firmer ground. With mega-cap growth leaders such as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) experiencing double-digit intraday gains, sentiment among ETFs was positive. However, SCHD&#8217;s strength could also be an indicator of something more profound: a reversion to fundamentals.
A Decade Of Discipline: Why SCHD Matters Now
While Wall Street weathers yet another round of tariff-induced volatility, investors yearn for consistency. Boasting a 3.96% SEC 30-day <a href="https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/schd">yield</a>, dividend <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/etf/schd/history/">yield </a>of 4.09%, a sub-0.06% expense ratio, and a long-term value-oriented approach, SCHD has quietly established itself as a steady performer in trying times.
Following the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, SCHD filters for U.S. stocks with 10 or more years of unbroken dividend growth, sorting them by financial stability, cash flow health, return on equity and dividend track record. The outcome? A concentrated portfolio of dividend champions such as Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) and Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>)—names that have performed better than broader benchmarks through previous crises, including the 2008 meltdown.
Structure Built For Stability
SCHD&#8217;s durability is supported by its diversified strategy. Diversified over 103 holdings in seven sectors—financials (19%), healthcare (17%) and consumer staples (14%), the ETF is sector-diversified while remaining underweight in tech, which overhangs competitors such as the S&amp;P 500, where tech companies alone constitute almost 30%.
This conservative bias translates to a lower beta of 0.81 (a beta of less than 1 means lower vulnerability to volatility) and less downside risk. During previous downturns, staples sectors fell only 20% versus 30%+ declines in tech-heavy indexes, according to Money Morning. When Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 17% earlier this year, SCHD remained steadfast, thanks to its sector capping (no sector >25%) and single-stock exposure limits (no stock >4%).
What&#8217;s Next?
SCHD&#8217;s performance will be shaped by the prospects of its current holdings. Among those with high upside potential are:
Inter Parfums (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPAR#NASDAQ">IPAR</a>)
Murphy Oil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUR#NYSE">MUR</a>)
Kforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KFRC#NYSE">KFRC</a>)
Conversely, some caution is perhaps justified with:
CNA Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNA#NYSE">CNA</a>)
The Hershey Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>)
Watsco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSO#NYSE">WSO</a>)
Bottom Line
SCHD doesn&#8217;t pursue hype; it accumulates quietly through consistency. With $65.6 billion in assets and a 53% 5-year total return, it continues to provide a compelling combination of income, value and stability. Its dividend payout ratio of 61.07% and its 16.67% dividend raise last year highlight the fund&#8217;s power of income.
In a world where sentiment and speculation wildly fluctuate, SCHD is a north star for long-term investors because it provides not just peace of mind but reliable outcomes.

Shares of consumer staple companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Interparfums's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPAR#NYSE">IPAR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.54% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 768 thousand shares sold short, which is 4.24% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.15 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743624028_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Interparfums 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 Interparfums'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>, Interparfums's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.10%, 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>

Is Interparfums Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Numerous public companies have updated their 2025 guidance in response to the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada, but additional tariffs on other countries could have significant impacts, DA Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser warned in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">new note to clients on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to announce tariffs on potentially trillions of dollars worth of goods imported to the U.S. on Wednesday.
The potential impacts are wide-ranging. Bolton Weiser flagged several names under her coverage umbrella that could be impacted in the Health &amp; Beauty and Leisure space. The analyst noted additional tariffs are &#8220;not reflected in estimates.&#8221;

Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries at a White House event at 4 p.m. ET. The Trump administration has said the tariffs could target specific sectors.
The tariff announcements have created uncertainty across markets with the S&amp;P 500 crossing into correction territory last month. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.46% at $563.55 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The SPY is still down about 4% year-to-date and well off its highs from February.
