<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.

<ul>
<li>Total proceeds of $530 million on $300 million original 2022 investment</li>
<li>Proceeds strengthen balance sheet and provide added flexibility to pursue disciplined capital allocation strategy, including significant share repurchases and royalty acquisitions</li>

NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Royalty Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) today announced the closing of a transaction to monetize the remaining fixed payments on the MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds for $511 million in upfront cash. This payment, combined with payments previously received, results in total cash proceeds of $530 million on the $300 million investment that was made in September 2022. The company generated an attractive return by monetizing these future fixed payments at a low discount rate of 5.35% and will redeploy these proceeds into higher returning investment opportunities, including repurchasing its shares and acquiring attractive new royalties.

Royalty Pharma Secures $530M From MorphoSys Bonds, Exceeding $300M 2022 Investment; Plans Share Repurchases, Royalty Acquisitions

Stifel initiated coverage on Cytokinetics Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYTK#NASDAQ">CYTK</a>), noting the company&#8217;s catalyst rich one to two years.
The M&amp;A speculation ramped up in early 2024 after the company released SEQUOIA-HCM Phase 3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36413624/cytokinetics-drug-potential-analyst-suggests-key-role-of-established-pharma-for-pot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial data of&nbsp;aficamten</a> in December 2023. However, last year,&nbsp;Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) decided to step back from pursuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36616494/cytokinetics-heart-drug-is-a-multi-billion-dollar-opportunity-by-2032-despite-novar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the&nbsp;Cytokinetics deal</a>.
Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>), AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) also all popped up as potential suitors, though the stock faded from there as a deal never materialized.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40778617/cytokinetics-sets-stage-for-mid-stage-study-for-heart-failure-drug-after-encouraging-data-from-ph" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cytokinetics Sets Stage For Mid-Stage Study For Heart Failure Drug After Encouraging Data From Phase 1 Study</a>
Cytokinetics has fallen out of favor with investors after a turbulent start to 2024, marked by a controversial Royalty Pharma Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) deal and no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38992589/heart-disease-focused-cytokinetics-operations-are-on-track-despite-acquisition-unce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mergers or acquisitions</a>.
Investors poorly received the structure of the Royalty Pharma deal at the time, and it continues to be a concern for many even today.
Stifel has initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CYTK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $80</a>. However, the outlook appears promising, with its valuation adjusted and several catalysts expected over the next 12+ months.
Stifel analyst James Condulis writes Cytokinetics&#8217; aficamten is an exceptional drug as it sets a strong competitive standard for a multi-billion-dollar obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) market.
As the rollout of Bristol Myers Squibb Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Camzyos mavacamten continues, some concerns remain about its potential in treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
While the initial launch is not seen as a negative sign for mavacamten&#8217;s potential, its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a barrier to fully unlocking the market.
Cytokinetics appears well-positioned to capitalize on Bristol Myers&#8217; groundwork with its second-to-market drug, aficamten, which is expected to have a best-in-class profile. There is a strong case for aficamten to secure a differentiated REMS, potentially including six-month echocardiograms (Q6M echos) as a standard.
Under conservative assumptions, aficamten could drive the U.S. oHCM market to approximately $3 billion.
Looking ahead to 2025 and 2026, Phase 3 nHCM data and early findings for HFpEF could present new opportunities. Although mergers and acquisitions are not a key focus, potential strategic interest could bring unexpected benefits.
Price Action: CYTK stock is up 3.45% at $47.40 at last check Wednesday.

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
According to a CNBC report, Walmart started providing body cameras to some of its store-level employees across the U.S. as part of a pilot<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/psychology/24/12/42537321/walmart-begins-program-that-has-employees-wear-bodycams-for-safety"> program testing the technology</a>.
Royalty Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) is a &#8220;disappointing&#8221; stock, Cramer said. &#8220;I want you to stick with it, I would not get rid of the stock here, it's too good a company.&#8221;
On Nov. 6, Royalty Pharma reported quarterly earnings of $1.04 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 93 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $565.00 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $696.10 million.
Cramer said he doesn't want to own Magna International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGA#NYSE">MGA</a>). &#8220;The autos are the worst place to be,&#8221; he noted.
On Dec. 16, Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan maintained Magna International with an Equal-Weight rating and lowered the price target from $46 to $44.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended buying M&amp;T Bank Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), adding that it is a &#8220;very, very good&#8221; company.
M&amp;T Bank will announce its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 earnings results before the market opens on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $3.74 per share on revenue of $2.34 billion.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Walmart shares fell 0.2% to settle at $93.40 on Thursday.</li>
<li>Royalty Pharma shares fell 0.8% to close at $24.28 during the session.</li>
<li>Magna International shares fell 1.6% to settle at $41.28 on Thursday.</li>
<li>M&amp;T Bank shares fell 0.4% to $185.42 on Thursday.</li>
