12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

Children&#8217;s Place, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLCE#NASDAQ">PLCE</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday following the announcement of preliminary partial fourth-quarter results for the six-week period from November 3 to December 14, 2024. The company reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42529179/the-childrens-place-reports-preliminary-partial-fourth-quarter-sales-results-through-december-14-2" rel="noreferrer noopener">3.4% increase in net sales year-over-year.</a>
This uptick also represents a positive shift compared to the year-to-date performance seen during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
However, while overall net sales showed growth, the company experienced challenges in specific sales channels.
Brick-and-mortar revenue decreased due to a lower store count. Comparable retail sales dropped by 8.9% for the six-week period. A reduction in e-commerce sales largely drove this decline, as the company took steps to improve profitability by scaling back unprofitable promotional strategies, Children&#8217;s Place said in a press release.

On a positive note, wholesale revenue increased, helping to offset declines in other areas.
It&#8217;s important to note that these preliminary results are unaudited and subject to change, as they reflect only part of the fourth quarter&#8217;s performance, the company said.
Earlier this month, the company declared third-quarter results where net sales decreased&nbsp;18.8% to $390.2 million.
In the third quarter, comparable retail sales decreased 17.1% largely driven by the planned decrease in e-commerce revenue, as the company proactively sacrificed unprofitable sales to improve profitability.
Price Action: PLCE shares are trading higher by 6.37% to $11.61 at last check Tuesday.

<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/">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.
