IBM's IBM short percent of float has risen 9.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.14 million shares sold short , which is 2.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.84 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling 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.

Comparing IBM's Short Interest Against Its Peers 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 Benzinga Pro , IBM's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.15%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Toyota introduced the Tacoma in 1995, although the automaker wasn't new to manufacturing trucks, as it launched its first pickup back at the end of the '60s. While the truck itself has grown in size over its various generations, so have its sales, with the Tacoma reaching its highest marks in 2021, with over 252,000 units sold, per GoodCarBadCar.net . However, the mid-size truck market has become increasingly more competitive, with rivals like the Nissan Frontier, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon. So, for those looking to get a more compact truck that still has some oomph under the hood, what are the most robust engines ever featured in a Tacoma? Toyota has never offered a V8 engine option in the Tacoma. However, this truck has come equipped with some capable V6s under the hood of each generation (including one with a dealer-installed supercharger), and the automakers latest i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which is the most potent the mid-size truck has seen yet. We got to experience first hand the automakers most recent efforts with our 2024 Toyota Tacoma review , and walked away impressed by improvements from previous models in ride, performance, and interior quality. The first year the Tacoma was launched, there were a few engine options, including the 3.4-liter V6 engine. The automaker pulled it out of its full-size T100 truck at the time. With dual overhead cams, multi-valve cylinders, and a peppy four-speed automatic transmission, the Tacoma SR5 V6 could produce 190 horsepower, and 220 lb-ft of torque. The six-cylinder in the '95 Tacoma was capable enough to offer 1,670 pounds of payload, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, which outperformed the Nissan Truck SE V6 from the same year, that could only muster 3,500 pounds of towing power. While these first-generation Tacoma's topped out just under 200 horsepower, 1998 saw the release of the Tacoma TRD off-road package, which enhanced performance by adding a locking rear differential, but would add even more powerful options moving forward. For those unaware, TRD is one of several famous car badges that hold special meaning . The third-generation of Tacoma kicked off in 2016 and offered a slightly larger V6 than the first-generation, but packed with even more power than the stock second-generation 4.0-liter V6. Offering a respectable 278 horses and 265-pound feet of torque under the hood, this six-cylinder boosted towing capacity to 6,400 pounds. In fact, this more potent V6 even outperforms the previous generation's larger 4.0-liter. Another interesting aspect of Toyota's 3.5-liter was that it could operate on the Atkinson cycle, which provided enhancements to efficiency. James Atkinson, a 19th-century engineer, developed a unique combustion sequence which allowed the intake valve to remain open longer. During the compression stroke, the piston reached a higher point, traveling upward before the intake valve would close. Essentially, the power stroke, which moves the piston, was longer than the movement of the intake stroke, allowing for less fuel to be consumed every cycle. Of course, the modern Tacoma utilizes a much more precise version of this concept with variable valve timing. When Tacoma's second-generation launched in 2005, the lineup received an option for more displacement in the form of a 4.0-liter V6. While this six-cylinder could outperform previous Tacoma's with the ability to generate 236 horsepower (an improvement of 46 horsepower) and 266 lb-ft of torque (additional 46-pound feet of torque), it wasn't the most muscular option available from Toyota. While the TRD off-road package had offered some performance increases in previous Tacoma's, the available 2015 TRD supercharger engine package took this truck to the next level. The different types of superchargers are twin screw, roots, and centrifugal and each have their benefits. But, regardless of which design you use, the end product is more power. The Tacoma TRD supercharger bumped up horsepower to 304, and torque up to 334 lb-ft. This extra output translated into 0-60 mph times of less than 7.5 seconds. However, as you'd expect, fuel economy did take quite a hit with the factory installed supercharger, only managing around 15 mpg. Toyota arrived in 2024 ready to upset the status quo by kicking off Tacoma's fourth generation with the most powerful powertrain this truck has seen to date. This hybrid engine consists of two elements: A 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alongside an electric motor, combining to output performance figures that surpass even the TRD supercharger from 2015. Together, the turbocharged gasoline engine and electric motor produce 326 horsepower and an impressive 465 lb-ft of torque. Essentially, when compared to previous V6 iterations of Tacoma, this new hybrid generates around 75% more torque. When explaining the difference between horsepower and torque , in the world of pickup trucks the latter is king, and translates into a Tacoma towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. The most impressive figure is not the horsepower and torque alone, but the fact that i-FORCE Max manages to reach a combined average fuel economy of 24 mpg, while also receiving a huge bump in performance.

The Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States has been reviewing the deal, which has faced political opposition from both parties. It has been looking into whether it would raise any national security concerns, such as by further weaking America's steelmaking capacity. Bloomberg News cited sources familiar with the matter who said President Joe Biden would block the deal after the CFIUS report came back this month. Nippon Steel said it would maintain U.S. Steel as a subsidiary that would remain headquartered in Pittsburgh. It has promised no layoffs or plant closings and said it would invest $2.7 billion in U.S. Steel plants, including $300 million in a blast furnace in Gary Works. The Japan-based steelmaker has threatened legal action if the deal is blocked.

S. Steel," Nippon Steel spokesman Jack Coster said. "From the outset of the process, we have engaged in good faith with all parties to underscore how the transaction will bolster American economic and national security by countering the threats posed by China. It is inappropriate that politics continue to outweigh true national security interests – especially with the indispensable alliance between the U.S. and Japan as the important foundation. Nippon Steel still has confidence in the justice and fairness of America and its legal system, and — if necessary — will work with U. S. Steel to consider and take all available measures to reach a fair conclusion." The incoming Trump administration also has threatened to block the merger. The United Steelworkers union has raised a number of concerns, including that it would erode American steelmaking over time and make it harder to prosecute trade cases. It notes that the United States currently imposes tariffs on some imports from Nippon Steel and expresses fears more of the steelmaking would happen abroad, reducing U.S. Steel's mills to finishing lines. U.S. Steel spokeswoman Amanda Malkowski said the deal would benefit all stakeholders, including "the future of steelmaking in Indiana." "The transaction with Nippon Steel provides, by far, the brightest future for U. S. Steel, our employees and communities, and our customers," Malkowski said. "Nippon Steel has committed to preserve U. S. Steel as a U.S. company headquartered in Pennsylvania and to contribute billions of dollars of investment to our mills and communities, securing the future of steelmaking in Pennsylvania and Indiana. No other party can do this. Investment into the United States advances U.S. national security by enhancing innovation and competitiveness in the United States and bolstering critical global alliances. This transaction should be approved on its merits. The benefits are overwhelmingly clear. Our communities, customers, investors, and employees strongly support this transaction, and we will continue to advocate for them and adherence to the rule of law."World Chess champion Magnus Carlsen will no longer compete in the World Rapid or Blitz Chess Championships after violating the International Chess Federation’s dress code policy. Carlsen, who was set to compete in both tournaments in New York City from Dec. 26-28, breached the organization's rules by wearing jeans to the competition. FIDE released a statement on the social media site about Carlsen’s breach of dress code, which read in part, “FIDE regulations for the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships, including the dress code, are designed to ensure professionalism and fairness for all participants.” “Today, Mr. Magnus Carlsen breached the dress code by wearing jeans, which are explicitly prohibited under long-standing regulations for this event,” the statement continued. “The Chief Arbiter informed Mr. Carlsen of the breach, issued a $200 fine, and requested that he change his attire.” The statement explained that Carlsen declined the opportunity to change and thus was not paired for the ninth round. Carlsen, who shared a photo of his outfit on , spoke about the incident during an interview with During the interview, the chess champion said that he had a lunch meeting and “barely had time” to go back to his hotel room and change before competing, so he only had a chance to change his shirt, jacket, and shoes but “didn’t even think about the jeans.” “I don’t know if it was after the first game or second game, but I got a warning that I need to change,” he said, before clarifying, “Well, first of all, I got a fine, which is fine. Then I got a warning that I would not be paired if I didn’t go change my clothes.” Carlsen said that he was given permission to change after the third round of the tournament. He explained that he would change for the next day of competition but was told that he needed to “change now.” “At that point, it became a bit of a matter of principle for me,” Carlsen explained. “So here we are.” When asked if he had appealed the decision, Carlsen, 34, said that he was “too old at this point to care too much.” “If this is what they want to do, I guess it goes both ways, right?” he added. “Nobody wants to back down and this is where we are. It’s fine by me. I’ll probably head off to somewhere where the weather is a bit nicer than here.” Carlsen said that it would be unlikely for him to come back to compete in the World Blitz Chess Championship, explaining, “I don’t know what would have to change for that to happen, but no.” “It’s OK,” Carlsen added. “They can enforce their rules, that’s fine by me, and my response is that ‘Fine, then I’m out.’” In addition to Carlsen's penalty, FIDE said in the statement that Ian Nepomniachtchi also received a fine for breaching the dress code policy after wearing “sports shoes.” The organization said that Nepomniachtchi eventually complied with the rules by changing into “approved attire” and continued with the tournament. “These rules have been in place for years and are well-known to all participants and are communicated to them ahead of each event,” the statement read. “FIDE has also ensured that the players’ accommodation is within a short walking distance from the playing venue, making adherence to the rules more convenient.” Nepomniachtchi referenced the incident on and shared a photo of his outfit, adding, “As the chief arbiter just told me, none other than Ahmed Adly believes that a chess player should not dress like that. So the $200 fine will (hopefully) go to the Chess Fashion Research Foundation.” Francesca Gariano is a New York City-based freelance journalist reporting on culture, entertainment, beauty, lifestyle and wellness.
