<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.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Uncertainty has taken over the market. Business and consumer sentiment data are souring as markets tumble and tariff policy continues to lack rhyme or reason. The St Louis Fed's US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index has spiked to its highest level since December 2020. The University of Michigan Survey of Consumers dropped nearly 10% from January to February and is now down 17% year-over-year.
Business owners continue to mention tariff uncertainty in surveys. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index fell in February while the NFIB Uncertainty Index rose to its second-highest recorded level. Complicating matters are increasing inflation expectations for 2025, which could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot between cutting rates to spur growth or keeping rates unchanged to limit higher prices. 
This precarious cocktail has investors on edge as U.S. stocks lag global markets. While it&#8217;s too soon to talk about a recession being imminent, it&#8217;s a good time to start thinking defensively.
Here are five stocks with solid fundamentals in sectors that tend to do well when the economy slows.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Republic Services Inc. </h2>
When investors think of waste management services, they usually conjure the aptly-named Waste Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WM#NYSE">WM</a>). However, the lesser-known Republic Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSG#NYSE">RSG</a>) also runs integrated commercial, residential and industrial solid waste services with over 200 landfills and an additional 246 transfer stations. Contrasted to its larger rival WM, RSG has a comparable P/E ratio, better margins and a significantly better Price to Free Cash Flow (P/FCF) per Share (35.05 vs 41.89). The stock has also increased over 27% in the last 12 months, compared to just 8.7% for WM shares.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeQYUQ7_3cydY16LLDXhy3tPx67ZBSbD7zAXm0LZSi_YK4jG4znK7-82n9tBY5nW0cqOW7is2NPxTCd_cARmCuMp4QR8eNg7kqvhrXpbLNFEC4kUxm6UeZZqvS3ZrUS1B9-0NtJPQ?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure>
RSG shares pulled back in the first week of March, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) recently diverged upward, indicating that volume may be accumulating for the next leg higher. RSG also scores well in two crucial Benzinga Edge metrics: 86.20 in Momentum and 88.57 in Quality. On March 4, analysts at CIBC upgraded the stock from Neutral to Outperform, with a price target of $265. UBS, Goldman Sachs and Stifel also boosted price targets on the stock in the last month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc. </h2>
Dollar stores and discount retailers are often popular picks during economic slowdowns. Still, investors must be careful in this environment not to count on stocks with thin margins and heavy reliance on imports. Ollie's Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLLI#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>) is a purveyor of excess buildup, meaning it purchases overstocked or overproduced items from manufacturers and wholesalers and sells them at its warehouses at a deep discount.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfcG4FxVYqcba9omEUNAKhflz5JRExFu1Px6XY5nPkQcPj67Y-TVlR7m6_ZlshjheXqH-h9pqOR38SrnD7MdEu0b4YSeZYeJwzQDKHNFYHShJVJsOyvNU8z4qDFgWmZtPRSpp08LA?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure>
Ollie's business model gives it a leg up over traditional discount retailers like Dollar Tree. The company's 9% profit margin towers over figures from Dollar Tree, Dollar General and even larger chains like Walmart and Target. Ollie's has boosted revenue by nearly 8% year-over-year, but the stock is down almost 10% in the last three months.
However, as the chart above shows, a buying opportunity could be materializing right now. The upward momentum has stalled, but a bullish wedge is forming, which could signal buyers are consolidating in preparation for a new breakout. Keep an eye on this pattern for a potential breakout as the price range continues to condense.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kimberly-Clark Corp. </h2>
Household products like paper towels, toilet paper, hygiene products, detergents and other cleaning supplies have very inelastic demand, so these companies are often popular investments during recessions or economic slowdowns. Kimberly-Clark Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) is our pick for this particular industry thanks to its attractive valuation, strong dividend and potential breakout from a multi-year trading range.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe-m4j-kU00Tja9IKDpC0ML9BehtIIiHcg_Khf25LWmceJmSwZPKUigPpvh_NxgYsCwZngce9DWDIFOzAVATHMzu0VkQQDJnwaUC8ZHpMBDVtQLNa6u25Fx6_7_M1th3U1ieBQ50A?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure>
KMB shares recently reached a nearly five-year high, smashing through a resistance level that had been in place since the end of 2020. This promising technical signal is supported by strong fundamental data as well. KMB trades at just 19 times earnings, far lower than competitors like Proctor and Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive. It also trades at just 2.4 times sales while maintaining a healthy 12.7% profit margin. KMB pays a 3.5% dividend and the recent breakout has boosted its Benzinga Edge Momentum score to 71.54 &#8211; a rare occurrence in the consumer staples sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unum Group </h2>
Here's an insurance company that very few investors have heard about but has the prettiest-looking chart of the bunch. Unum Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNM#NYSE">UNM</a>) provides individual income protection plans to clients in the United States, United Kingdom and Poland while also offering long-term care, life and employee-benefit insurance plans through segments like Colonial Life and Closed Block.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdknAMM85XGJH8djOqkIt-uokaPzFLoS-Iv7YSxhVd04dtjb74hN7kl6219XOMHhTQmGfzDsvfpNbR72bwlBbkPS1k6hINLxoO1eCGpJme2MxixnPxzuqHp2vryBg0MQS1b9A2n?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure>
Unum Group performed exceptionally well during the 2022 bear market, posting positive gains when most stocks suffered prolonged drawdowns. UNM shares staged a rally in 2024 and have risen by over 60% in the last 12 months. From a fundamental standpoint, the company is in a strong position with 1.27 P/B Value Per Share, 8.3 P/E ratio and 13.9% profit margin. UNM shares also grade out exceptionally well in three crucial Benzinga Edge metrics: Momentum (94.60), Value (89.28) and Quality (84.32).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Berkshire Hathaway Inc.</h2>
When Uncle Warren starts raising cash, investors start paying attention. The Oracle of Omaha has been selling stock to increase Berkshire's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) cash pile, and while a 94-year-old insurance CEO may have different investment goals than the rest of us, it&#8217;s worth noting when Buffett begins stacking dry powder.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc-bLC_d9K-RvtDyN99OcIiYYgI6WjcwCG67aV6slY2NIeGDqcU2N7BywlpEWDUzQZb7zi1f-wpQoiSiwpw1f-NsuVs-Dr2nMAl6nZQ312bH3LGPs0kRmEckODPZ51eaJrONLSa?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure>
Buffett's cash pile is not unusual considering his long-term track record. While Buffett praises buy-and-hold strategies for retail investors, he himself has always been a bit of a market timer. His cash horde suggests he's waiting for volatility to wane before putting new capital to work.
Whether a recession materializes or not, stocks like BRK.B are good places to harbor while waiting for calmer waters to return. Berkshire's free cash flow pile stands at an impressive $11.6 billion with the stock trading at 12 times earnings. The insurance giant also grades well in Benzinga Edge in terms of Momentum (82.74) and Value (73.69). The stock chart shows some consolidation over the last week and the upward trend remains in place.

5 Recession-Proof Stocks To Consider As Economic Fears Grow

For those of us who prefer to invest with an edge grounded in fundamentals, the Piotroski F-Score has long been a reliable tool for separating the wheat from the chaff.
Developed by accounting professor Joseph Piotroski, the F-Score is a nine-point checklist designed to identify financially strong companies based on profitability, liquidity and operational efficiency.
While it&#8217;s a great way to find fundamentally sound stocks, the market is littered with cheap stocks that stay cheap. That&#8217;s where adding relative strength comes into play.
Relative strength is one of the simplest yet most effective tools in the trader&#8217;s arsenal. It measures how well a stock is performing relative to the broader market or a benchmark index.
High relative strength stocks are in demand, meaning the market is voting with its dollars in their favor.
The key is combining this with the deep value metrics of the Piotroski F-Score to find stocks that are not just fundamentally strong but also gaining momentum.
The beauty of this approach is that it weeds out value traps.
Here's how to do it yourself – and three great stocks that fit the criteria right now.
Too often, investors buy into stocks that look cheap on paper but continue declining because there's no catalyst for a turnaround. A company scoring an 8 or 9 on the Piotroski scale tells us the financial health is improving, but adding relative strength ensures that the stock is already catching a bid.
This is how we find winning stocks that are both fundamentally and technically positioned to outperform.
To put this into practice, start by screening for stocks with an F-Score of at least 7. This ensures we're looking at companies with solid fundamentals.
Then, sort by relative strength, favoring those in the top 20% of performers over the past six to twelve months.
The sweet spot is a high F-Score company that has already turned the corner and is seeing increasing demand from investors.
A perfect example of this strategy in action was the recovery of regional banks in the wake of 2024&#8217;s banking turmoil.
Many had strong balance sheets and improving fundamentals, yet their stocks languished for months. But once relative strength picked up, many of these names delivered triple-digit returns.
Investors who combined the Piotroski F-Score with relative strength were able to buy in just as the tide was turning.
Another great example right now is Republic Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSG#NYSE">RSG</a>), a leading provider of waste collection, recycling and disposal services in the United States. As one of the largest players in the waste management industry, Republic Services operates a vast network of collection routes, transfer stations, landfills and recycling centers across the country. The company benefits from the essential nature of waste services, which ensures steady demand regardless of economic conditions.
With a focus on operational efficiency and sustainability initiatives, RSG has demonstrated consistent revenue growth, strong margins and disciplined capital allocation. These attributes contribute to its high Piotroski F-Score.
With a growing emphasis on renewable energy initiatives such as landfill gas-to-energy projects and advanced recycling capabilities, Republic Services continues to generate solid cash flow and maintain a strong financial position.
Coupled with its high relative strength, RSG has been a standout performer, reflecting both its fundamental strength and the market's recognition of its stability and growth potential.
Antero Midstream (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AM#NYSE">AM</a>) is another strong example.
As a leading natural gas midstream company, AM operates critical infrastructure that supports the transportation and processing of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The company primarily serves Antero Resources, one of the largest natural gas producers in the Appalachian Basin.
Antero Midstream owns and operates a network of gathering pipelines, compression stations and water handling systems, providing essential services that ensure the efficient movement of natural gas from production sites to end markets. Its business model is underpinned by long-term, fee-based contracts, which provide stable cash flows and reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations.
With a strong balance sheet, disciplined capital spending and a commitment to shareholder returns through dividends, AM has maintained a high Piotroski F-Score.
Additionally, its high relative strength suggests that investors recognize its resilience and attractive growth prospects, particularly as demand for natural gas infrastructure continues to rise in a transitioning energy market.
A final example is Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>), a leading manufacturer of advanced engineered solutions for the aerospace and transportation industries.
Howmet specializes in high-performance aluminum and titanium components, fasteners and structural parts used in commercial and military aircraft, defense systems, and high-performance vehicles. With a robust presence in the growing aerospace sector, Howmet benefits from long-term contracts with major aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus.
The company has focused on operational efficiency, cost control and high-margin product lines, driving strong profitability and a high Piotroski F-Score.
Additionally, Howmet's emphasis on innovation in lightweight materials and precision manufacturing positions it well for continued industry demand.
Its strong financial health, coupled with a high relative strength, indicates that investors are recognizing its earnings potential and market leadership, making it a prime example of a winning stock using this strategy.
In markets that often punish fundamentals-only investors by keeping cheap stocks cheap, this strategy provides an edge.
It ensures that we're not just buying good businesses but also stocks that the market is willing to reward. In the long run, that's the combination that produces the best returns.

<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.
